She was still wriggling her body while pressing down on Ye Qiu, as if she wanted to crush him. Her little face was red, whether from excessive force or from embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

'This is really terrible!' Ye Qiu thought to himself, his face turning red, as he was genuinely struggling to breathe!

"You little rascal! Don't go too far!"

Ye Qiu declared, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Hey! You dare call me 'Rogue Rabbit'? I'm going to beat you up today!"

...Another farce ended under Ye Qiu's Sharingan gaze.

Of course, it would be even better if the left eye socket didn't turn purple.

"Ye Qiu...are you alright? Are you alright?" Xiao Wu stretched out her paw and kept waving it in front of Ye Qiu.

"I won't die!" came the curt reply.

"They didn't do it on purpose... At worst, you can hit them back, how about that?" He squatted down in front of Ye Qiu, pointing to his eyes.

"No need, just consider it an apology to Xiaobai!"

……

"Hey, what exactly did you forget to pack? I told you to get it ready yesterday, all you do is play!"

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu's impatient voice could be heard from inside the stone house.

The swelling in her eyes has gone down, but there's a tooth mark on her cheek. I don't know what that silly rabbit did yesterday.

She insisted on sharing a blanket with him, and that wasn't all; she even bit him in the middle of the night. Ye Qiu felt that she was intentionally retaliating, but he had no evidence.

"It's all better now! Why are you being so fierce... It only bit you once!" Xiao Wu smiled and stuck her tongue out at Ye Qiu, making him even more certain that the rabbit had done it on purpose.

"Why are you blindfolded?" Xiao Wu asked him curiously.

At this moment, Ye Qiu's eyes were wrapped with a black silk cloth, so his eyes could not be seen from the outside, and his vision was not greatly affected from the inside.

"My martial soul is my eyes, so of course I need to protect such a vulnerable area. That makes perfect sense, right?" He spread his hands and explained.

It is indeed a form of protection; the tomoe within the Sharingan are still quite noticeable. If someone with ulterior motives were to discover the changes in my martial soul, there would inevitably be some trouble.

In addition, that frivolous ability can also be moderately curbed.

Xiao Wu then looked at the wooden toys in front of her—bows and arrows, slingshots, and so on—"It's a pity I can't take any of these toys with me..."

"If you want it, I'll make it for you later, as long as I have wood." Ye Qiu pursed his lips, thinking to himself, 'I'm just afraid you'll look down on my craftsmanship after seeing Tang San's crossbow!'

"Then it's settled! Let's go..." Hearing this, Xiao Wu smiled, took Ye Qiu's hand, and stepped through the wooden door outside.

Clutching her pink pouch tightly, only she knew that something new had been added inside: a bamboo dragonfly, the first toy Ye Qiu had made for her.

"Wait for me a moment." He said to Xiao Wu, then went to the peach tree, lit some incense, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Grandpa, Xiao Qiu is going now..."

Just as he was about to get up, he found that Xiao Wu had also knelt down.

"What are you doing?" Ye Qiu looked at her in confusion. Was the rabbit head not working properly?

"I...can't I kneel before my mother?" Xiao Wu stammered, looking rather guilty.

He muttered something, quickly kowtowed a few times, then immediately got up and ran away into the distance.

"This is inexplicable!" This series of actions left Ye Qiu completely baffled.

Chapter 6 Tang San

Before long, the two arrived at the village entrance, where Old Man Zhang had already set up his oxcart and was waiting.

"Grandpa Zhang, it's been a long time!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's greeting, Old Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Hey, this little girl is really adorable..."

When it was Ye Qiu's turn, his face fell before he could even speak.

However, that didn't stop Ye Qiu from offering his greetings, "Good morning, Grandpa Village Chief!"

Hearing him speak, Old Zhang's face darkened even more. "Oh, no, no! You are a future Soul Master... you've already drawn a line with money!"

"Uh..." Ye Qiu was taken aback, then smiled wryly, realizing it was because of the money he had secretly given her. "Grandpa Village Chief, what are you saying? That was a token of my respect for you."

"Grandpa Zhang, what did Ye Qiu do to make you angry?" Xiao Wu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, come on! This is your living expenses, Grandpa. Keep it safe!" Old Zhang took out a small bag of money from somewhere and put it in Xiao Wu's hand.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" The little rabbit didn't know what it meant to refuse, and simply put it away.

Seeing that she had accepted it, Old Zhang glanced at Ye Qiu smugly, "Hmph! Get in the car..."

"Hehe..." Ye Qiu scratched his head and chuckled a few times. He really was a playful old man.

The means of transportation was simple: a strong yellow ox pulled a two-wheeled cart with straw laid underneath, allowing people to enjoy the natural fragrance.

With ventilation on all sides and sunlight streaming in, the scenery along the way is breathtaking.

Biyou Village isn't far from Nottingham City, hmm... at the speed of an oxcart, we should be able to arrive in the afternoon.

Around noon, on the oxcart, Old Zhang was in charge of driving, while Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu sat facing each other.

The rabbit, which was initially full of enthusiasm, is now listless and dozing off while munching on a carrot.

She shifted her position, slowly moving closer to Ye Qiu, and hugged his arm. "Ye Qiu~ I'm a little sleepy! Waaah~"

He yawned as he spoke, but his eyes were still bright.

"If you're sleepy, take a nap!" Ye Qiu replied casually, his eyes still covered.

"OK then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu felt a weight on his shoulder. Xiao Wu's head rested on his shoulder, and her arms were wrapped around his.

Ye Qiu glanced at it once and then looked away.

'On this trip to Notting City, Tang Hao will probably discover Xiao Wu's identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast...'

Ye Qiu wasn't entirely without the idea of ​​taking her away, but where could they go?

He's only at level four of innate soul power right now. Even if he manages to join some small faction, there's no guarantee that nothing unexpected might happen.

For Xiao Wu, perhaps following the original path is the safest option right now!

At the very least, there's enough time for him to grow up... Besides, he has his own reasons for coming here!

Out of Ye Qiu's sight, Xiao Wu secretly opened her eyes and stared at his profile, her eyebrows curving into a smile.

Suddenly noticing Old Zhang's gaze on her, she blushed, which amused Old Zhang.

Time passed slowly, and the spires of buildings appeared in the distance. The architecture of Douluo Continent was mostly Western in style.

"Wow! Ye Qiu, look, it's so beautiful~" Xiao Wu excitedly shook Ye Qiu's arm, her inexperienced hands full of energy.

"It is indeed very beautiful..." Ye Qiu was also somewhat moved, after all, he was also a country bumpkin.

"Haha... I was just like you when I first came here..." Old Zhang said, getting into the mood, and began to recount what had happened back then.

……

The oxcart stopped outside the city gate, and the three of them walked into the city.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Soul Master Academy, they didn't receive the same treatment as the protagonist Tang San, perhaps because they had already been taught a lesson.

The procedures were completed quickly, and the two were assigned to the same dormitory, the place where it all began—Dormitory 7!

At the entrance of Dormitory 7, the two who had already said goodbye to Old Zhang arrived with their luggage on their backs.

As soon as I entered, I saw a dozen or so guys with bruises and swelling on their faces.

There was one exception. Although he was somewhat malnourished and not particularly good-looking, he was well-dressed and exuded confidence and composure.

'This must be Tang San!'

Looking at the so-called protagonist in front of him, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Are you also students of Dormitory 7?" Wang Sheng, the extra, began to introduce them.

"I am Wang Sheng, and this is our leader Tang San. Whoever defeats him can become our new leader!"

"Being the boss? Great, Sister Xiaowu likes it!" Xiaowu was already used to being the big sister in front of Da Ming and Er Ming, and was particularly interested in this kind of thing.

Wang Sheng then looked at Ye Qiu, the boy, and asked, "Where is this student?"

"I'm sorry, my abilities are limited." With an apologetic smile, he silently chose a bed and placed the things he was carrying on his back on it.

"Ye Qiu, you wait! Once Sister Xiao Wu becomes the boss, she'll protect you! Hehe..."

"Thank you in advance."

Looking at the smug little rabbit, Ye Qiu responded with a smile, wondering if she would still be so carefree if she knew that her identity might have been exposed.

"Hey! What are you doing staring at me like that? Come here and get yourself beaten!"

She challenged the skinny, dark-skinned boy who was staring at her in a daze.

"Boss... Boss!"

"Huh?" Tang San only managed to come to his senses after Wang Sheng shouted.
