Her previously smiling face instantly froze, turning pale... She murmured to herself, "Title Douluo..."

Chapter 26: Shoulder Biting, I Want to See You!

Pale and fear replaced the original smile.

"Xiao Qiu...why would a Title Douluo want to kill you?"

"Because he is Tang San's father!" Ye Qiu told her truthfully, he was going to take her away today!

"What! Tang San's father!?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and she trembled as she realized that her identity had been exposed.

Biting her lip, forcing herself to calm down, she nervously grabbed Ye Qiu's arm, her first concern for him being, "Then... Xiao Qiu, are you alright?"

"A blessing in disguise, my martial soul has evolved again, but..." He paused, staring intently at Xiao Wu.

"No...but what?" Xiao Wu avoided Ye Qiu's eyes, not daring to look at him.

"But silly rabbit, shouldn't you worry about yourself first?"

Buzz! Thud... Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu seemed to lose her senses, unable to breathe, her head buzzing, and even the carrot in her hand fell to the ground.

"Xiao Qiu... what... what are you saying?"

She was somewhat panicked, and tears were already about to fall.

"Sigh~" Ye Qiu sighed, looking at her calmly. "Actually... I knew your identity from the very beginning, a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form!"

"!" Xiao Wu swayed precariously on the stool, terrified. She was afraid her identity would be exposed, and even more afraid that Ye Qiu would despise her, hate her, and leave her...

"Xiao Qiu, I...I didn't mean to lie to you, Xiao Qiu~ I...Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Qiu took action, taking the initiative and ending his days of waiting passively for his prey.

He stood up, pulled Xiao Wu up, and faced her directly.

He took her hand, intertwined their fingers, and pulled her into his arms.

Xiao Wu didn't resist. She had lost count of how many times Ye Qiu had dodged her kisses before. All she needed to know was that this was the first time Ye Qiu had kissed her on his own initiative, and that was enough... she was happy!

Ye Qiu, a complete novice, had never experienced such prolonged contact before. He was utterly inexperienced, and even when they separated, he was panting heavily...

He didn't let her leave his embrace; their foreheads touched, their noses brushed together, and he looked down at her.

Look into my eyes...

Before she could even process what was happening, Xiao Wu, her eyes glazed over, tilted her head back and met his blood-red gaze.

Ye Qiu didn't want to waste any more words explaining the whole story. Using the Sharingan's illusion technique, he conveyed to her everything he knew about Tang Hao's plan to turn her into Tang San's soul ring and soul bone, as well as his experiences over the past few days.

These images also subtly reveal Ye Qiu's inner thoughts...

A moment later, Xiao Wu, having already processed all this information, was not surprised but rather delighted.

'Xiao Qiu has me in her heart!'

She squinted her eyes, looked at him gently, and smiled dreamily.

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing much! I just saw something interesting..."

Ye Qiu didn't think much of it, assuming she was referring to the Ape King, that unjustly wronged child who had suffered so much.

"Xiao Qiu~"

"Ok?"

Xiao Wu tiptoed, raised her lips, and gently touched Ye Qiu's lips.

"I've always believed what you said..."

"Of course, I promised I would protect you. I'll die before you!"

Xiao Wu pursed her lips, her eyes also filled with sadness, "Yes, but this time I can't go with you...!"

"!" Ye Qiu was shocked. He released her and questioned loudly, "What do you mean? Why won't you leave Nottingham City with me?"

Ye Qiu didn't understand, "Do you really think I would kill you and take your bones too?!"

"No...I didn't!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu became agitated and quickly waved her hand to indicate that she had never thought of it that way.

"How could I think like that! If... if Xiao Qiu really needs it, I said... as long as it's something Xiao Qiu wants, I'm willing to get it for you... Xiao Qiu~" Xiao Wu looked at him seriously.

"Hmph~ I don't need your spirit ring, much less your spirit bone, and I won't let that happen!" Ye Qiu turned his back, no longer looking at her, feeling somewhat angry.

"Why do you want to stay?"

Xiao Wu grabbed his arm, "Where is Xiao Qiu going after leaving Notting City?"

Ye Qiu was about to speak when Xiao Wu spoke first.

"You're going to find the magic herb, right?"

He nodded, not finding it strange that Xiao Wu could guess this.

After all, Xiao Wu isn't really stupid!

"What does it matter..."

"Where is the magic herb? Is anyone guarding it?"

Xiao Wu answered the question quickly, giving Ye Qiu no chance to speak.

"I think there might be Title Douluos in that place too!"

Faced with Xiao Wu's guess, Ye Qiu nodded. That place was quite close to both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Imperial City... and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was the property of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo...

But... that's not the reason Xiao Wu stayed here.

“I have a divine space; you can stay inside…” Knowing her personality well, Ye Qiu added, “I can stay with you often and let you out when I have time…”

"I don't want that. Xiao Wu will be bored to death. Besides, Tang Hao already knows my identity. In his eyes, you're already dead. What if he finds out where you are...?"

Xiao Wu stepped forward and hugged him, slowly explaining her reasons.

"If I stay here, I can help Xiao Qiu distract him. My safety will also be guaranteed until Tang San grows stronger. If we encounter other titled individuals, Tang Hao will be my free bodyguard..."

Listening to Xiao Wu's words, Ye Qiu rubbed his temples. He... was still too weak! His smugness at activating dual divine powers had subsided, and his somewhat arrogant heart calmed down once again.

His next stop is the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, where the porcupine, the snake spear, and the other three—Bone, Sword, and Poison—behind Qian Renxue are indeed a dragon's den and a tiger's lair for a soul beast.

"I need to think about it some more..." Ye Qiu was a little afraid to look her in the eye, fearing that he was wavering.

"Yes!" Xiao Wu nodded heavily. Xiao Qiu's choice was dispensable to her. She had already made up her mind. Staying here was not only to put Xiao Qiu at ease, but also to make the Tang family father and son pay the price!

So what if he's a Title Douluo? If he can't beat his father, then the son must pay for the father's sins. Besides, Tang San had long harbored murderous intent towards Ye Qiu!

Since he likes me, I'll make good use of him and torment him!

A fierce glint appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes. Anyone who hurt Xiao Qiu deserves to die!

When Ye Qiu looked over, the fierceness in Xiao Wu's eyes vanished without a trace; she was just a well-behaved little rabbit belonging to Ye Qiu.

"Oh, right, Xiao Wu... this ring is for you!" Ye Qiu took out an exquisite box and took out the ring from it.

"A gift for me?" Xiao Wu stared at the pink gem on it, unable to look away.

"Yes, this is a soul tool that Grandma Tom gave me. I'll give it to you now!"

Ye Qiu has already checked it; ten cubic meters is big enough.

He took her small hand and solemnly placed the ring on her ring finger.

"Thank you, Xiao Qiu, I really like it!" After stamping Ye Qiu's hand, she turned her palm over and admired it.

"There's another external soul bone inside, absorb it!" Ye Qiu had already made up his mind.

Xiao Wu understood that this was Ye Qiu's final request, and dared not refuse.

After she absorbed the soul bone and learned about its function, Ye Qiu's worries lessened.

When they parted ways, Xiao Wu hugged him tightly.

"Xiao Wu has nothing to give Xiao Qiu, except..."

"Hiss~" Ye Qiu gasped as Xiao Wu actually bit his shoulder hard.

"Xiao Qiu~ You must remember to come find me..."

"Yes, I will! Wait for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu took Xiao Wu to a small alley outside Notting Academy!

"Xiao Qiu, I'm sorry..." Xiao Wu murmured to herself, looking at the sunset on the horizon, touching the ring on her hand, and walking towards the academy with a smile on her lips.

Chapter 27 Revenge

Ye Qiu appeared on the other side and watched Xiao Wu leave.

A thousand-year-old external soul bone—the remains!

After absorbing the power, Xiao Wu's soul power level reached level 23.

When used... a tough, transparent keratin layer will appear on the surface of the torso, making it easy to defend against attacks from Soul Masters.
