Picking Up Xiao Wu

"Cough, cough, Xiao Yu, go to Notting Academy later. I'll make something delicious tonight, so bring that girl Xiao Wu back too. Let's have a proper family meal tonight." Su Yi patted Su Yu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Family..." Qiu'er narrowed her eyes slightly and silently chewed over those words.

"Alright, Grandpa. I'll go in a bit. It's been a long time since I visited Notting Academy, and I haven't seen Xiao Wu in ages either. Is she doing well?" Su Yu placed a piece of meat into Qiu'er's bowl and looked at his grandfather with a smile.

"That little girl? She doesn't like cultivating much, but her Soul Power has already reached level 26. By the way, Xiao Yu, what level are you now?" Su Yi asked, looking at Su Yu with a smile and some emotion.

"Hehe, level 36—ten levels higher than Xiao Wu." Su Yu smiled when he heard his grandfather ask. Three purple Soul Rings slowly appeared behind him.

Seeing those three purple Soul Rings, Su Yi fell into a daze.

"Good, good! My grandson really became a Soul Master! Good, wonderful!" Seeing his grandfather like this, Su Yu quickly helped him sit down.

He looked at the old man with a smile and said, "Grandpa, just wait and see. Once I become a Titled Douluo, I'll let you enjoy the good life. And when I have children someday, when you have great-grandchildren, I'll need you to look after them."

As soon as Su Yu said that, a smile bloomed across the old man's face.

"Good, good. Alright, Xiao Yu, hurry up and eat. I'll go out for a walk. Remember to bring Xiao Wu back tonight." With that, Su Yi walked out with a cheerful smile.

"Big Brother, hurry and eat. I'll go with you later to meet that Xiao Wu." Just as Su Yu picked up his chopsticks, Qiu'er looked at him and spoke gently.

Su Yu gave Qiu'er a strange look. Others might not know, but he knew this girl was exceptionally jealous. What was going on now? She wanted to go pick up Xiao Wu with him? Something was fishy.

Su Yu nodded, eating as he thought. But in the end, he still did not understand how women thought, and he ultimately failed to grasp Wang Qiu'er's intentions.

Sure enough, no matter their age, women were creatures Su Yu could not understand.

After eating, Su Yu and Wang Qiu'er leisurely headed toward Notting City. They were quick on foot and arrived in Notting City in a little over twenty minutes.

Looking at the buildings of Notting City, Wang Qiu'er could not help opening her mouth in amazement. The last time she had come to Notting City was to find Su Yu. Back then, they had not had time to look around at all. They had only gone to Notting Academy before she and Bi Ji left. Now that she had come again and saw so many buildings, she was quite excited.

"Qiu'er, it's still early. Come on, I'll show you around. I'm pretty familiar with Notting City, after all." Su Yu smiled, took Wang Qiu'er's small hand, and began strolling through Notting City.

"Qiu'er, Notting City isn't really a big city. You could only call it a small one. When we have time in the future, I'll take you to Heaven Dou City or Star Luo City. Those are the truly big cities."

Su Yu watched Qiu'er touch this and that with a smile, then shook his head and laughed.

"Mm, thank you, Big Brother," Wang Qiu'er said somewhat listlessly.

Su Yu raised his head and looked at Qiu'er in confusion. At a glance, he was rendered speechless. Qiu'er stood blankly outside a shop specializing in women's clothing, staring at the clothes inside without moving for a long while.

"You little girl, if you want to buy something, just say so. Why stay silent? Come on, let's go in and get you a few outfits. We didn't bring many clothes when we left the forest anyway." Su Yu laughed helplessly, then took Qiu'er's hand and led her straight into the shop.

"Get this girl a few outfits. Don't worry about the money—match her properly," Su Yu said with a smile after a saleswoman came up to greet him.

"Yes, sir. Miss, please come this way." The saleswoman immediately led Wang Qiu'er toward the fitting rooms.

Five minutes later

Su Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at Qiu'er standing before him in a fitted white outfit, her blue-pink wavy hair cascading down her back. He could not help widening his eyes.

"Big Brother, how is it? Is it pretty?" Wang Qiu'er narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Yu with a smile.

"Beautiful. Very beautiful. My girl has always been such a beautiful girl." Su Yu nodded with a smile and tapped Wang Qiu'er on the forehead.

"Alright, girl, go try on more. Big Brother's paying today. I'll look for some clothes for myself later too." Su Yu smiled. After buying clothes for Qiu'er, he needed to buy some for himself as well, since he did not have many clothes either.

"Please pack up an outfit suitable for an eleven-year-old girl," Su Yu said with a smile, calling over a saleswoman.

"Yes, sir." The saleswoman smiled and went to select something nearby.

This outfit was not for Qiu'er, but for Xiao Wu. Thinking about it, he and Xiao Wu had known each other for many years. Xiao Wu had always helped him care for his grandfather, yet he had never given her any gifts. Su Yu truly felt he had wronged Xiao Wu all these years.

After all, Xiao Wu had always been lively and restless. Making someone like her care for his grandfather all this time must have been quite difficult.

"Big Brother, I'm done. Let's go. Big Brother, I heard you ask them to pack an outfit just now. Is it for Xiao Wu?" Wang Qiu'er came bouncing out in a white dress, tilting her head as she asked with a smile.

"Mm, yes. Xiao Wu has helped take care of Grandpa for so long, and I feel rather sorry for her. So I'm giving her a gift." Su Yu smiled and patted Wang Qiu'er's little head. Seeing the comfortable expression on her face, he could only smile helplessly.

"Mm, Big Brother, you're right. Xiao Wu has cared for Grandpa for so long, so it's perfectly normal to give her a gift. Once we meet up with her later, you have to keep taking us shopping."

Wang Qiu'er was not angry when she heard that the gift was for Xiao Wu. Instead, she smiled gently, wrapped her arms around Su Yu's arm, and spoke with a grin.

Seeing the girl like this, Su Yu could not help shuddering. He knew his girl was extremely jealous—and even rather devious.

Su Yu felt that this girl Qiu'er was probably having some bad ideas again. He truly understood this girl too well.

"Qiu'er, you aren't plotting something again, are you? Don't cause trouble. Xiao Wu is really just my good friend, so don't make trouble, understand?" Su Yu pulled Qiu'er into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.

"Big Brother, how could I do that? You have to believe me." Wang Qiu'er's ears instantly turned red. She leaned against Su Yu's chest and gave him a shy look.
