Xiao Wu's Mother Plays Matchmaker; Setting Out for Suotuo City

Building the wooden house was simple, with Da Ming and Er Ming helping.

In less than half a day, they had put up a wooden house.

Chu Xuan also put up a fence to make a courtyard.

"Are you planning to stay here for a long time?"

Ah Rou was quite curious. With such a nice wooden house and courtyard, it looked well suited for a long stay.

Chu Xuan shook his head. "Not really. I just wanted to get the place ready first, so you could live more comfortably here, Aunt Rou."

"If Xiao Wu comes back in the future, she'll have somewhere to stay too."

Hearing that, Ah Rou smiled.

Her smile was somewhat meaningful as she glanced at her daughter.

Xiao Wu's face turned bright red under her gaze.

When she came to her senses, it suddenly dawned on her.

Why was I blushing?

It wasn't like I'd done anything to feel guilty about!

Once the courtyard was finished, Ah Rou brought out the fruit she had picked.

After eating a simple meal, Chu Xuan found it rather bland.

Everyone was eating vegetarian food, and without a bit of meat, he could hardly take it.

He was still at an age when he was growing!

Night fell, and Chu Xuan had returned to his room to rest.

In Ah Rou's room, mother and daughter had endless things to talk about.

Xiao Wu talked about her life over the past six years, from meeting Tang San to discovering his true nature and everything in between.

She talked about a great many things in one go, until her eyelids began to droop.

"Xiao Wu, how do you feel about Chu Xuan?"

Ah Rou's sudden question startled Xiao Wu wide awake.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Her heart fell into turmoil. Could Mom have noticed something?

Ah Rou gently stroked her hair, her voice soft.

"Xiao Wu, I've been through this before. I know what's on your mind."

"Chu Xuan is an outstanding boy. If you really like him, you need to take the initiative."

"A boy like him won't lack girls around him in the future, so you need to secure a place in his heart before anyone else does."

Take the initiative?

A place in his heart?

Xiao Wu's head was full of those words, and she seemed to be in a quandary.

Ah Rou said no more. She had said enough.

The rest was up to Xiao Wu herself.

As the saying went, children and grandchildren had fortunes of their own. As her mother, she couldn't interfere too much.

If she did too much, her cleverness might backfire, and that wouldn't be good for anyone.

Xiao Wu tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, her mother's words constantly on her mind.

Ah Rou said nothing, just held her.

The next morning, Xiao Wu got up with what were practically panda eyes.

She had thought about too many things during the night, and her head was still a little muddled.

"Did you sneak off to steal chickens last night?"

Seeing her like that, Chu Xuan couldn't resist teasing her.

What could possibly leave the carefree Xiao Wu so conflicted?

Now that she knew Tang San's true nature and her mother had come back to life, what troubles could she still have?

"Who, who stole chickens?"

Xiao Wu muttered.

Ah Rou came out of her room and smiled. "Xiao Xuan, you're awake? Let's get ready for breakfast."

"Okay."

Chu Xuan answered and went out to the courtyard.

Breakfast was ready soon afterward. The three of them ate, then rested in the courtyard.

Chu Xuan found it a little hard to get used to such a leisurely life.

He had done many things since transmigrating, keeping busy practically every day.

He had never imagined he would have time to rest.

Now that he did, it felt rather strange.

"Xiao Xuan, what do you think of Xiao Wu?"

"I think Xiao Wu seems to like you?"

Ah Rou was making tea nearby. Chu Xuan, who had been basking in the sun, sat up at once when he heard her.

He turned to look at Xiao Wu, who had already lowered her head, and couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Aunt Rou, are you playing matchmaker?"

"If Xiao Wu has no objections, then neither do I."

He really did like Xiao Wu, the heroine.

She was pretty and had a good personality.

Her long legs were especially eye-catching.

Having a little beauty like her around would make life more enjoyable.

Just looking at her was pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Xuan's asking you a question. Why aren't you saying anything?"

Ah Rou asked with a smile.

Sure enough, she, the old mother, had to step in. Otherwise, given Xiao Wu's personality, it might take until the year of the monkey or the month of the horse for anything to develop between them.

"Chu Xuan has already said it, so what else is there for me to say?"

Xiao Wu's voice was very quiet.

Chu Xuan laughed. He hadn't expected their relationship to be settled so easily.

Now they could finally be said to have a parent's blessing.

But it wasn't time to take her first blood or anything like that yet.

After all, both of them were only twelve years old in body. It really wasn't appropriate yet.

They could wait a few years, or until their bodies were mature, before taking the final step.

Until then, he could only feast his eyes and indulge his hands.

"All right, you two go out for a walk. Don't stay cooped up at home all the time."

Ah Rou was very happy too.

Her daughter had been entrusted to someone reliable.

Now her daughter needed to make an effort to secure a more important place in Chu Xuan's heart.

In her estimation, Chu Xuan would surely have quite a few women in the future.

As a member of the Soul Beast Clan, she didn't actually object to that. She even considered it only natural.

Chu Xuan's abilities were plain to see. He was bound to attract many girls.

For some time afterward, Chu Xuan took Xiao Wu out for a stroll nearly every day, and they returned in the evening.

Their feelings for each other gradually grew warmer.

At the very least, they now held hands whenever they went out.

As time passed, the day Shrek Academy would recruit students drew closer and closer, and he really wanted to go take a look.

Most importantly, there were the two girls Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

He wouldn't hold back with a single one of the goddesses from the original story.

His own enjoyment was what mattered most.

Who cared whether they had someone destined for them? If he had the ability, he would snatch them away!

With his knowledge of this world's plot, winning a beauty's heart wasn't difficult to begin with.

"Let's set out today. We'll go to Suotuo City first."

He had told them about it a few days ago. Now it was about time, and he ought to leave.

It was a pity he hadn't gone to take a look in the depths of the Lake of Life.

He was also very interested in the legendary Silver Dragon King.

If he met Gu Yuena, he might even trigger some good choice missions.

"Xiao Wu, when you're away from home, you must listen to Xiao Xuan."

"Xiao Xuan, I'm counting on you to take care of Xiao Wu."

Ah Rou gave them careful instructions.

Xiao Wu took Chu Xuan's hand and left at once.

"I know~ I'll be good."

As her voice gradually faded into the distance, Ah Rou could only shake her head helplessly.

Her daughter was still far too flighty.

Fortunately, Chu Xuan was relatively mature. Otherwise, she really would have worried about whether something might happen.

"A God-Given Soul Ring... it really is mysterious."

Recalling the Soul Ring Chu Xuan had obtained a few days ago, she had truly been shocked.

That day, a God-Given Soul Ring had suddenly descended, and in the end, Chu Xuan obtained a 200,000-year Sixth Soul Ring.

The moment the Soul Ring's age was revealed, she had begun to question her whole life.

Now that Chu Xuan had reached level sixty-four in Soul Power, he could be considered a formidable expert on the Douluo Continent.

With those terrifying Soul Rings of his, even an ordinary Soul Saint might not be able to defeat him.

"Aunt Rou, how about Da Ming and I take human form too?"

The Titan Giant Ape was very dejected.

Sister Xiao Wu had only been back for such a short time, and now she was leaving again.

He didn't even know when they would meet next.
