Chapter 50: Do You Want to Help Me Wash?(Bonus)

"Did... did you eat it?!"

Upon hearing Ye Qiu's order, Xiao Wu's face slightly changed, unwilling.

"Yes, if we don't eat it, do you plan to save it for the New Year?" Ye Qiu frowned, rolling his eyes at Xiao Wu in frustration.

"But... but I want..."

Xiao Wu hesitated.

Holding the red item in her hands, she felt a special meaning behind it. It represented her unwavering loyalty to Ye Qiu, and his trust and affection toward her.

"Silly rabbit."

Seeing that Xiao Wu was still unsure, Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile. He raised both hands to gently cup her soft, fair face, making her look at him directly. He softly asked, "What's the point of staring at it when I'm right here with you? Do you prefer this flower with you, or me?"

"Of course, it's you... Mmm!"

Xiao Wu's voice was hurried, and naturally, Ye Qiu was the most important person to her.

"Then that's settled!"

Before Xiao Wu could finish, Ye Qiu slowly leaned down, pressing his lips to hers. He took his time savoring the kiss, occasionally hearing Xiao Wu's soft hums and low whimpers of pleasure.

"Ying~"

Feeling Ye Qiu's lips repeatedly press against hers, Xiao Wu's heartbeat quickened. Her long lashes fluttered, sending misty glances. She awkwardly began to respond, mirroring him, though her movements were slow and unpracticed.

After some time, when Xiao Wu's breathing became labored and her body wobbled, Ye Qiu finally released her.

Xiao Wu, feeling dazed, leaned against Ye Qiu's chest. This had been the longest Ye Qiu had teased her. Her small face was flushed, her eyes slightly tipsy, as if intoxicated. Even though Ye Qiu had stopped, her delicate pink lips still parted slightly, glistening with fresh saliva, revealing her adorable, moist rabbit-like tongue—soft and inviting.

Ye Qiu cupped Xiao Wu's chin, making her look at him. He smacked his lips lightly and gently asked, "Now, can you behave and eat it?"

"C-Can... I'll listen to you."

Xiao Wu's face was like a peach blossom, her voice soft and tender, a little dazed as she responded. She lay in Ye Qiu's embrace, her expression showing bliss.

"Then hurry up." Ye Qiu chuckled lightly and released her from his embrace.

Xiao Wu stumbled, almost falling, but Ye Qiu caught her and she continued leaning against his chest.

"Ye Qiu~ I need to rest for a moment..." Xiao Wu's face was red, her steps light, clearly tipsy. She had never been kissed for so long and was feeling a little oxygen-deprived.

"Alright." Ye Qiu nodded slightly, not teasing her. After all, it had taken a lot of time and effort with another beginner, Du Gu Yan, for him to have such a skill in this area.

Looking at this slightly clumsy, cute rabbit, Ye Qiu couldn't help but nibble her soft cheeks twice. He then fixed her disheveled clothes. It was a bad habit he had formed from being close to Du Gu Yan, who was already fully developed, always wanting to grab onto something.

...

Fifteen minutes later, under Ye Qiu's gaze, Xiao Wu sat cross-legged, holding the "Heartbreak Red" in her hands. After glancing at Ye Qiu with a red face, she no longer hesitated and placed the red item into her mouth.

The magical herb seemed to possess intelligence as it transformed into a red streak of light and entered Xiao Wu's slightly parted lips.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly closed her eyes.

Ye Qiu stood nearby, using his Insightful Eye to scan the surroundings.

"Heartbreak Red" was a top-tier herb.

Consuming it would grant eternal vitality, significantly enhancing soul power by at least ten levels. It would also undergo a complete physical transformation, with the ability to revive the dead and heal the most grievous injuries. Most importantly, it could mask the aura of soul beasts transforming into human form.

Although this ability wasn't crucial with Tang Hao around, once Ye Qiu passed away and took this secret to the grave, things would be different.

Under Ye Qiu's watch, Xiao Wu seemed like a pink blossom, the petals of Heartbreak Red blooming around her. Blood-red light danced across her skin, and the flow of blood was visible to the naked eye. The Heartbreak Red was remodeling Xiao Wu's body, pushing her closer to becoming human.

Purple Extreme Magic Eyes!

Ye Qiu's eyes flashed with intense light, even his Extreme Magic Eyes in the Space Realm couldn't fully see Xiao Wu's true form.

Time passed.

A herb that acknowledged its master was different. In just half an hour, Xiao Wu had completely refined the Heartbreak Red!

Her delicate rabbit ears stood up, and a pink tail appeared at her lower back. Even a new soul ring appeared—two yellow and two purple—signifying her ascent to the Soul Sect level, surpassing Ye Qiu's cultivation.

Xiao Wu opened her eyes.

The enchanting red glow in her eyes was the miniaturized version of Heartbreak Red. As the light dissipated, the petals around her closed up and entered her body.

Looking at the still somewhat confused Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu was momentarily stunned. He crouched down and gently lifted Xiao Wu's delicate chin.

"Silly rabbit, are you back to your senses?"

Xiao Wu blinked, and upon recognizing the figure in front of her, her face turned red. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she pounced toward Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu!"

"Damn it."

Ye Qiu was suddenly knocked to the ground by Xiao Wu's embrace.

"Ye Qiu~"

Xiao Wu pinned Ye Qiu to the ground, her soft hands gently pressing on his chest. Looking into his crimson eyes, filled with affection, she softly called out his name, their gazes locked.

"What are you doing? Get up!" Ye Qiu's head throbbed a little, helplessly looking at the little rabbit lying on him, not doing anything else.

"Oh! I'll get up now." Xiao Wu hastily tried to get up, but then hesitated. With a red face, she quickly kissed Ye Qiu lightly on the lips, her smile like a mischievous child who had stolen fruit. She gently helped him up.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, rubbing his aching head.

"Ye Qiu, I didn't mean to." Seeing Ye Qiu rubbing the back of his head, Xiao Wu realized that she had heard a crisp sound when she jumped on him. She quickly took over, gently massaging Ye Qiu's head with a face full of concern and a hint of sweetness.

"Alright, I'm fine. Let's head back to the seventh dormitory first. We'll talk about everything slowly."

"Mm, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, her behavior following Ye Qiu's lead.

Outside the teaching building, still before class had started, the two walked out together. The young man had bright, handsome features, and the young girl's eyes were like crescent moons. Her hands tightly held his, and she smiled at him from time to time.

"Silly rabbit, still smiling. I just took a bath, and now I'm dirty again," Ye Qiu muttered, rolling his eyes at Xiao Wu, remembering how long he had spent lying on the ground earlier.

"It's fine, Ye Qiu. I'll wash your clothes clean for you." Xiao Wu clung to Ye Qiu's arm with a slightly apologetic look, her expression sincere, though she couldn't help but smile.

"Is that so?" Ye Qiu chuckled, turning his face toward Xiao Wu's ear, teasing, "Then will you help me wash my body too?"

"Huh?!" Xiao Wu blushed deeply, looking at Ye Qiu with an expression torn between struggle and shyness.

Thinking of how Ye Qiu and Du Gu Yan had already become so close, almost crossing the line, Xiao Wu straightened her neck, forced herself to endure the embarrassment, and stammered, "I-I can do it!"
