Chapter 48: Can You Bully Me a Little More?(Bonus)

In the next moment,

Xiao Wu saw all of Ye Qiu's memories after he left Nodding City in her mind.

She saw Ye Qiu sleeping in the wilderness, moving into the Spirit Hall branch, almost being killed by a soul beast, seeing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes where he almost died from falling, and watching him fall into Du Gu Yan's room. She saw him jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to refine the immortal herbs.

Feelings of heartache, worry, grievance, and fear kept swirling in her mind.

Ye Qiu's engagement to his fiancée was indeed true.

Du Gu Yan seemed to be more excellent than her—she had a Title Douluo grandfather, her cultivation was stronger than Xiao Wu's, she was also quite beautiful, with a figure that Ye Qiu preferred, more mature and clingy than Xiao Wu.

When Xiao Wu saw Ye Qiu being wrapped by Du Gu Yan, watching Du Gu Yan transform her tail into a snake-like coil around Ye Qiu, and later seeing their affectionate moments, Xiao Wu's heart ached.

It felt as though something that was hers had been stolen.

The fact that Du Gu Yan wore the Venomous Outfit meant she probably knew of Xiao Wu's existence.

Despite knowing that Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu had been childhood sweethearts, even sleeping in the same bed and having sealed their bond long ago, Du Gu Yan still dared to fight for Ye Qiu.

She was nothing but a shameless bandit!

Ye Qiu letting Du Gu Yan take control, hold him, and twist him—what was so great about it? They were just two lumps of flesh with bumps on them!

Xiao Wu would have that one day, too!

...

Similarly,

Ye Qiu also saw Xiao Wu's memories from the past two months.

Xiao Wu's life was quite regular—she often wandered the village, played with the children, cultivated, repaired wooden houses, and helped Old Jack in the fields.

She would avoid Tang San whenever possible.

Even so, after watching her memories, a strange expression appeared on Ye Qiu's face.

Although Xiao Wu avoided Tang San, Tang San still found ways to visit her. That guy actually wanted to take Xiao Wu as his little sister? And he even pulled out the Zhuge God Crossbow?! What was that supposed to mean? Was this kid trying to steal his woman?!

If Ye Qiu wasn't careful, he would just dig up Tang San's wall and give Xiao Wu a much bigger, better gift!

Xiao Wu, seeing Ye Qiu's expression change, quickly explained.

"Ye Qiu, I didn't get close to him."

"Mm, I know."

Ye Qiu rubbed his forehead, smiling as he pinched Xiao Wu's face.

"I saw everything, how could I not know whether you've gotten close to him? Don't worry, your real identity—Yan Yan doesn't know."

"Mm!"

Xiao Wu nodded slightly, feeling a little guilty as she looked at Ye Qiu. She was sure that Ye Qiu had heard the curses she had directed at Du Gu Yan in her heart, but she didn't say anything wrong. Du Gu Yan was a bandit, relying on her Title Douluo grandfather to force a marriage contract.

"Well, did I lie to you?"

Ye Qiu pinched Xiao Wu's face. Although she didn't have Du Gu Yan's curves, her face was tender, and Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel fond as he squeezed it.

Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn't angry about the curses she had directed at his fiancée, Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief. She then scrunched her cute face, sniffed, and looked at Ye Qiu sadly, asking in a soft voice, "Ye Qiu, you have a fiancée now, so what about me?"

"Eat together!"

Ye Qiu grabbed Xiao Wu's soft hand shamelessly.

"E-eat together?!" Xiao Wu froze, her whole face turning bright red as she hesitated, "How can it be like this…"

"Yeah, how can it be like this? It's because I'm not a good person, selfish and self-centered, and I like to bully you." Ye Qiu smiled, not feeling like he was doing anything particularly bad. He wasn't a saint, nor a moral role model. He was just a person, neither very good nor very bad.

"No, I think you're great," Xiao Wu hurriedly retorted, her face serious. "Selfish and self-centered? That's not true. I never thought that."

For soul masters, a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone were incredibly tempting, and no one understood that more than Xiao Wu. But Ye Qiu had never once shown any intention of harming her.

If Ye Qiu was interested in her nine soul skills, Xiao Wu knew full well that he hadn't even known what her first soul skill could do. He simply didn't want to hurt her.

Such a human soul master, no matter how you looked at it, was far from selfish or self-centered. A little bad? Maybe. But that was just Ye Qiu making her boring cultivation life more interesting. Even when he could have eaten the rabbit meat, he always made sure to save it for her, throwing it away instead.

Xiao Wu had never thought Ye Qiu was a bad person.

Ye Qiu's feelings, whether they were about the women he thought about while shopping or during their shared training sessions, had long been clear to Xiao Wu.

She didn't want to leave Ye Qiu.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to thank you for praising me?" Ye Qiu chuckled, never expecting this silly rabbit to defend him in such a situation. He gently pinched Xiao Wu's face.

Xiao Wu shook her head, embarrassed. She had already received all the things Ye Qiu and Du Gu Yan had done. Those were things she had never experienced before and were enough to make her face red and her mind shut down. She had come first, but the first warm kiss was taken by Du Gu Yan.

The more she thought about it, the redder Xiao Wu's face became, and she pouted, "After I agree, will you bully me like you did her? Can you bully me more? I came first…"

"Ah?"

Ye Qiu's expression changed slightly as he looked at the foolish rabbit in front of him. Was she this much of a rogue?

Seemingly seeing through Ye Qiu's thoughts, Xiao Wu immediately snapped, "I'm not a rogue rabbit! You are, and that smelly snake even bit you! Hmph!"

Looking at Xiao Wu's blushing face, Ye Qiu's expression became slightly awkward. But it wasn't entirely his fault, though it was true that he had taken advantage of her.

At the same time, Ye Qiu felt quite pleased. Xiao Wu's tone didn't seem to mind him wanting to eat together.

"Alright, alright, don't be sad. We'll talk about bullying you later. Let me show you the gift I brought you."

"Gift?"

Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu with confusion.

Other than the immortal herbs Ye Qiu had taken, she had seen most of what he had, and everything else was vague.

This was something Ye Qiu did on purpose.

If Xiao Wu had figured it out right away, how could he surprise her with his gift?

"Yes, a gift."

Ye Qiu smiled, then grabbed Xiao Wu's hand again, their fingers intertwined. A series of thoughts filled Xiao Wu's mind, all conveying feelings of longing and affection.
