He even took her to the Spirit Hall deacon in the next village to get a Spirit Certificate, promising to send Xiao Wu to the Spirit Master Academy as well.
Ye Qiu suddenly understood, 'So that's how Xiao Wu got her work-study student status.'
After explaining the situation, Old Zhang brought up the abacus he had just made.
"Xiao Qiu, you see, there's no extra space in my house, so I'm thinking of letting this little girl stay at your house for a while, what do you think?"
Chapter 2 More money is needed
Hearing what Old Zhang said, Xiao Wu, who was still struggling with the carrot, also turned her clear yet foolish gaze to Ye Qiu.
"Grandpa Zhang, isn't this inappropriate?"
Ye Qiu was in a dilemma. This was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and more importantly... there was only one bed in the house!
Before he could explain further, Old Man Zhang launched into a tirade.
"What's wrong with them? They're all just kids! Besides, you're here to give money, right? Why are you being so particular? Take this money back with you, and take the little girl back with you too. Consider it her food money!"
"This is a bit..." Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu's expression became somewhat unnatural. To be honest, he was still a little tempted.
"You're still not willing?" Before he could finish speaking, Old Zhang interrupted him.
"No, no, Grandpa Zhang! You've misunderstood..." Ye Qiu rubbed her hands together, smiling a little embarrassedly.
"What I mean is, this money isn't enough, we need more!"
"More money!?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang nearly ripped off his beard.
"Look how much she can eat, this amount of money isn't quite enough!" He pointed in Xiao Wu's direction and shrugged helplessly.
"I...I don't eat that much!" Xiao Wu glared at Ye Qiu with wide eyes.
"Ugh~" Suddenly a long burp came out, and he quickly covered his mouth, his face turning red with embarrassment.
Feeling the gazes of Old Man Zhang and Ye Qiu, his eyes became somewhat evasive.
Finally, Old Zhang agreed to pay more and made an appointment with Ye Qiu and Ye Qiu to send them to Notting City Soul Master Academy about a month later when it starts.
With Old Zhang watching him go, Ye Qiu naturally took the rabbit home.
Along the way, Ye Qiu was in front and Xiao Wu was behind.
Unlike Xiao Wu's lively and carefree nature, Ye Qiu was taciturn and simply kept moving forward silently.
"Hey! How much further?" Xiao Wu jumped to Ye Qiu's side and asked, tilting her head.
"I'm not called 'Hey'..." Ye Qiu pouted, expressing his displeasure with the rude rabbit.
"My name is Ye Qiu. There's still a distance to go. Hang in there."
"Hmph! What's with the attitude... Watch out, Sister Xiaowu might beat you up!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiu fell silent, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, 'They're truly beasts, impossible to tame.'
They walked in silence until night fell.
Bathed in the soft starlight, Ye Qiu finally returned home.
Wow! What an adorable little bunny! I never knew you kept a pet bunny!
Seeing the little rabbit in the cage in front of the stone house, Xiao Wu felt like she had found her tribe and quickly rushed over to tease it.
“That’s not a pet…” he muttered. As soon as he entered the room, Ye Qiu pointed to the bathroom area separated by wooden boards and said to Xiao Wu, “Go take a shower quickly, you smell really bad!”
"You're talking nonsense, what kind of smell... am I wearing..." Xiao Wu said, sniffing her sleeve. Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and color crept onto her face.
"Can you smell it? You smell like carrots, and... there's a hint of rabbit scent too."
Ye Qiu walked over and sniffed next to her.
"Ah, what are you doing? I'm not a rabbit..." Xiao Wu quickly covered her chest, moved away from him, and looked a little flustered.
'What a stupid rabbit!' Ye Qiu shook his head and said irritably, 'I never said you were a rabbit, go take a bath!'
After watching her walk into the bathroom, Ye Qiu began to make the bed.
Since the silly rabbit didn't have any extra clothes, Ye Qiu had no choice but to give her his own.
He draped the clothes over the wooden board and gave instructions to those inside.
"Wear my clothes for now. I'm going to rest. The other end of the bed is yours!"
What! We're going to sleep together?
"What do you mean, 'sleep together'? We're miles apart!" Ye Qiu shouted into the room.
"Why are you being so mean? Just go to sleep!"
After a fairly amicable conversation, the two fell silent, with only the sound of flowing water remaining.
When Xiao Wu came out, Ye Qiu was already lying on one side of the bed. Seeing that the bed was a decent size, big enough to fit five or six Ye Qius sideways, she stopped bothering with it.
But after looking around, she couldn't help but say, "Hey!"
After calling out once without getting a response, Xiao Wu snorted and spoke again, "Ye Qiu, do you have a mirror here?"
"No, see the water tank under the window? We'll just have to make do with it!" After saying that, Ye Qiu turned over.
Xiao Wu pouted and carefully took out a small comb from her pink handbag, as if she were holding some precious treasure.
She came to the water vat and, using the moonlight streaming in from the window and her reflection in the water, carefully combed her hair, her crimson eyes revealing a deep longing.
Once her hair was almost dry, she carefully put away the comb, slowly climbed to the other end of the bed, and placed her small handbag next to her pillow.
Seemingly still somewhat distrustful of Ye Qiu, she didn't forget to utter a harsh threat before going to sleep, "Hey! Don't you dare cross the line, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
...She was met with silence in response, which made her grind her teeth in anger. She thought he had fallen asleep, so she had no choice but to lie down indignantly.
As night deepened and Xiao Wu's breathing became steady, a red light shone in Ye Qiu's eyes as he looked at her through the darkness.
He hadn't actually slept at all; he simply didn't want to pay attention to the silly rabbit. He sighed inwardly.
'Sigh... I don't know if bringing it back was the right thing to do. I'll just let things take their course for now! A 100,000-year-old soul beast... that's still a long way off.'
Ye Qiu believed that once his Sharingan was fully awakened, his achievements would certainly be remarkable!
Purple clouds rose from the east on the horizon, and the sky gradually brightened.
Ye Qiu slowly woke up and looked at Xiao Wu lying on top of him, his eyes twitching.
'She turned over even from this distance! Rabbits are always such restless sleepers!'
He gently pulled her down, slowly stood up, and looked back at her fair and rosy face and her delicate appearance. Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little protective.
After watching her for a while, Ye Qiu covered her with a blanket and then picked up the small handbag next to her and placed it beside her.
Click! The door opened, and Ye Qiu went out to prepare breakfast.
Xiao Wu, who was still lying in bed with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Seeing Ye Qiu's departing figure, she covered her burning face with both hands, burrowed into the quilt, and transformed into a wriggling maggot.
A muffled sound came from under the covers, "So embarrassing... ah!"
The awkwardness didn't last long before it was interrupted by the protesting sounds from her stomach. After a quick wash and retying her original scorpion braid, Xiao Wu finally went outside.
"You're up?" Ye Qiu's hurried voice came from afar.
"Hmm, what are you doing?" Seeing Ye Qiu lying on the ground, Xiao Wu couldn't help but squat down and ask.
"Plank exercise is a way to exercise."
"Oh, that's really strange..." Xiao Wu muttered, touching her belly, hesitating to speak.
"Are you hungry? I've already bought the carrots. They're right on the table. Just wash them and you can eat them."
"Really? You bought carrots!" As expected of a rabbit, its eyes lit up at the mention of carrots.
"Why would I lie to you?" Ye Qiu stood up, glanced at her speechlessly, and led the way into the house.
Chapter 3 The Unserious Eyes
Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu sat facing each other at a small dining table.
After handing her the washed carrots, Ye Qiu buried her head in her bowl of white porridge, which tasted quite delicious mixed with the pickled vegetables she had stored.
Xiao Wu was also munching on her own carrot, which was crunchy and delicious.
Holding a carrot in one hand and resting his chin on the other, he asked, "Hey, Ye Qiu, my martial soul is the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit. What's your martial soul?"
"Sharingan!" Ye Qiu answered crisply without even looking up.
"Sharingan? What kind of martial soul is that? Let me see it!" This silly rabbit, who had just left the world of spirit beasts, was full of curiosity about new things.
He used the table as leverage and somersaulted right over Ye Qiu's side.
He brought his head right up to his face and scrutinized him for a while. "Is it related to your eyes?"
Smelling the carrot scent wafting over, Ye Qiu clenched his fist. He was somewhat helpless with this rabbit that had no sense of boundaries; he couldn't beat it in a fight right now.
"Look, this is the Sharingan!" Ye Qiu pointed to his eyes, which turned blood red, and a tomoe slowly rotated.
Xiao Wu's eyes met his, and after a moment of surprise, her rabbit ears twitched as she murmured to herself, "So beautiful..."
