Childhood Sweethearts Xiao Wu, the System Arrives

All characters in this book are adults. Read with confidence.

Star Dou Great Forest, core region.

"Wen Xuan, wake up already. You promised to accompany me to the human world today."

A rabbit-eared girl in a short pink dress shook the little boy lying on the bed.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Wu, stop shaking me. I'm going to throw up. Go outside first. Once I'm dressed, I'll go with you."

Wen Xuan rubbed his slightly swollen eyes.

He slowly sat up from the bed. Because he had stayed up late last night, he had barely slept this morning, and his vision was still blurry.

Hearing Wen Xuan say that, Xiao Wu glanced at the lower half of his body hidden beneath the blanket. Her pink cheeks immediately flushed red.

"Why do you still like sleeping without pants after all this time?" Covering her reddened cheeks, Xiao Wu ran out the door.

With a bang, the bamboo door shut, leaving Wen Xuan alone in the room.

The moment Xiao Wu left, Wen Xuan became wide awake.

"That damned system finally arrived. Do you know how I've spent these past years?"

Wen Xuan had originally been an anime enthusiast on Blue Star. After watching Rod Hero, he had gotten completely carried away and directly passed out after one shot.

When he opened his eyes again, he had encountered Xiao Wu's mother. At the time, he had still been an infant.

According to what Xiao Wu's mother had told him years ago, he had been an abandoned baby. By chance, she had found him and taken him in. Later, he became Xiao Wu's playmate.

They were what people called childhood sweethearts, growing up together.

Except Wen Xuan was younger, while Xiao Wu was older. After all, Xiao Wu had not yet taken human form back then and was still a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit.

But the good times did not last. Just like in the original story, Xiao Wu's mother was hunted down by Bibi Dong. Wen Xuan had still been very young then.

Without a cheat or the ability to do anything, he could only stand in the distance, holding Xiao Wu as they watched Xiao Wu's mother get absorbed.

Fortunately, last night, the system's long-awaited voice had sounded in Wen Xuan's mind.

"Since you've finally come, System, shouldn't you show something? Like giving me a powerful Martial Soul... or some benefits? Otherwise, I couldn't have come to this world just because I fired one shot, right?"

Wen Xuan summoned the system panel and looked at its simple contents.

There was only one enormous roulette wheel on the system panel, with a conspicuous Draw button beneath it.

Ding~ This system is the Myriad Worlds Draw System. Due to arriving six years late, the system is granting the host six Lottery chances. Please accept them with a smile. A mechanical voice rang in Wen Xuan's mind.

"System... don't change the subject. Were you the one who brought me into this Douluo Continent world?"

Wen Xuan was somewhat annoyed. He kept calling out to the system with his consciousness, trying to get the answer he had already determined.

Ding~ Insufficient permissions.

"Whatever. Since I'm here, I might as well settle in. Besides, I already stole Tang San's wife right from the start. After all... first come, first served. Don't blame me... Tang San."

As he spoke, Wen Xuan looked at the Draw button on the system panel.

The button, which had originally displayed a 0, now showed a 6.

"I wonder whether this draw has anything good. If I don't get a Martial Soul, I'll have to rely on this thing from now on." Thinking this, Wen Xuan questioned the system.

"System, how do I obtain your draw chances? And... does this draw have any side effects or something?"

Ding~ Draw chances can only be obtained by forming an intimate relationship with important goddess-level figures in Douluo. Note: Anything drawn will become connected to the host, and the other party will also know of the host, creating the possibility of Mutual Travel.

"What? Are you fucking kidding me? You mean that anything I draw will be known by its owner, and there's even a chance they'll come here?"

Wen Xuan wanted nothing more than to smash this system to pieces. Just hearing about drawing from the myriad worlds told him he would offend plenty of people.

Who knew? If he drew some Heavenly Emperor or god, wouldn't he die right at the start?

Ding~ Don't worry, Host. You and I are one. If you die, I'll return to the furnace and be reforged...

Wen Xuan waited for the system to continue, perhaps saying something about helping him rise to power. However, it did not. The system fell completely silent.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore. I just hope you don't screw me over." With that, Wen Xuan tapped the Draw button before him with his fingertip.

The next second...

The roulette wheel began to spin. Tiny words appeared across the wheel, which had originally been blank.

"It even has the Desolate Heaven Emperor's beast milk. You'd better not draw that for me. If that guy comes over, or I go over there, wouldn't he punch me to death?" Thinking of his current immature body, Wen Xuan shuddered in fear.

In the blink of an eye, the wheel's pointer landed on a black area.

Ding~ Congratulations, Host. You have drawn Mo Fan's Lightning from the Full-Time Mage Plane.

Ding~ This draw did not trigger Mutual Travel.

As the system's voice fell silent, Wen Xuan felt a purple star appear within his body out of nowhere. Wen Xuan closed his eyes and sensed it, instantly becoming familiar with control over Lightning.

Clenching both fists, Wen Xuan could hardly contain his excitement.

"I'm finally not an ordinary person anymore. Although it's only beginner-level Lightning, it's enough." Thinking that both he and Xiao Wu were still young, while Tang San had yet to grow stronger.

Lightning was still extremely useful right now.

While Wen Xuan was still excited, elsewhere, in the Full-Time Mage Plane.

"Mo Fan... it's your turn to awaken magic. I just hope you don't fail your awakening. Hahaha, a bottom-ranker like you will be thrown out of school then."

As Mu Bai spoke, mocking laughter rose from all around.

Zhao Kun San even stepped right up to mock him. "I heard Mo Fan only got into school because his father sold their house and begged for connections. I wonder whether he'll disappoint his father if he fails to awaken." Another wave of laughter followed.

"Enough, Zhao Fatty. It's not your place to lecture Brother Fan, no matter what he's like. Shut your filthy mouth."

Zhang Xiao Hou glared at Zhao Kun San in dissatisfaction, then looked at the other boys who had been laughing.

After glaring at them, Zhang Xiao Hou turned his gaze toward Mo Fan.

"Brother Fan, I believe you can do it." Zhang Xiao Hou made an encouraging gesture at Mo Fan.

"Mm." Mo Fan lightly nodded.

He then ignored the ridicule around him and walked over to stand beside a transparent Awakening Stone.

Anything is better than failing to awaken. Please, Heaven, Water or Light will do. Just give me one.

With that thought, Mo Fan let out a breath and pressed his hand against the Awakening Stone.

"Lightning... Lightning! He actually awakened Lightning!" Waves of shocked cries rang out from outside the classroom.

Just like in the original story, Mo Fan was drawn by the voices outside during his awakening, and everyone rushed out of the classroom to look.

Blue Silver Village

Mo Fan paid no attention to what was happening outside. His eyes remained fixed on the Awakening Stone in his palm.

The transparent Awakening Stone began turning dark purple the moment Mo Fan's palm touched it.

"I awakened Lightning too... Hahaha!" Mo Fan laughed excitedly.

But before he could laugh for long, something changed within his body. The purple star vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only emptiness.

"Pfft~" Mo Fan spat out a mouthful of blood.

When he looked at the Awakening Stone again, the purple had disappeared, replaced by a hint of red.

"Where did my Lightning go?"

Wen Xuan knew nothing about any of this. He was still immersed in the joy of obtaining Lightning.

"Xiao Xuan? Why are you taking so long just to get dressed?"

Just as Wen Xuan was about to test Lightning's power, he heard Xiao Wu's voice outside and stopped.

He hurriedly answered Xiao Wu outside.

"I'm coming. Don't rush me." Wen Xuan ignored the system and quickly pulled on his pants and clothes before running outside.

The moment he stepped out, he saw Xiao Wu leaning against the door.

"Let's go, Xiao Wu."

In the blink of an eye.

Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape, brought Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, less than a hundred meters from the human world.

"Sister Xiao Wu, Xiao Xuan, be careful in the human world. I can only take you this far. You'll have to rely on yourselves from here on." After speaking, Er Ming placed Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu from his palm onto the ground.

"Go back already. Leave Xiao Wu to me."

Wen Xuan nodded at Er Ming reluctantly.

If not for Er Ming and Da Ming over the years, he and Xiao Wu, who had taken human form, would have starved to death in the Star Dou Great Forest long ago.

To Wen Xuan, Da Ming and Er Ming had treated him well. Although both of them liked Xiao Wu, they gradually gave up because of the difference in their sizes. Besides, with Wen Xuan, a human boy who accompanied Xiao Wu in play, they knew they could not compete.

"Er Ming, hurry back and keep Da Ming company. Wen Xuan and I will take good care of ourselves. After all, I'm your Sister Xiao Wu." As she spoke, Xiao Wu took Wen Xuan's hand and waved at Er Ming.

"We're leaving. Take care, Er Ming and Da Ming. Bye-bye." With that, Xiao Wu led Wen Xuan toward the human town.

Er Ming watched Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan disappear from view. At last, he sighed and said, "Is taking human form really that good? Why do Xiao Wu and the others all want to take human form?"

After saying that, he shook his head and ran toward the Lake of Life.

As a soul beast that did not like using his brain, he stopped thinking about anything he could not understand.

A few minutes later, Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan, both appearing as children, arrived at a Soul Hunting Town.

The stalls and shops around them displayed soul beast pelts and ornaments made from soul beasts.

"Damn it. Just as expected, all humans except Xiao Xuan are bad people. Once I become stronger, I'll definitely take revenge." Xiao Wu glared fiercely at a stall in the distance.

Wen Xuan did not know why Xiao Wu was so angry, but he followed her gaze.

He saw Spicy Rabbit Heads covered in chili peppers, with Soft Bone Rabbit pelts displayed around the stall.

Wen Xuan immediately understood why Xiao Wu was so furious. Those were all members of her clan.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. They're doing it to survive." Wen Xuan held down Xiao Wu's clenched pink fist.

"Hmph, Xiao Xuan, you're not allowed to eat rabbit heads in the future. Otherwise... I won't play with you anymore." Having calmed herself, Xiao Wu spoke to Wen Xuan with a haughty expression.

"Of course I won't eat those rabbit heads. When Xiao Wu grows up, I'll eat Xiao Wu instead." Wen Xuan spoke the last few words so quietly that Xiao Wu, who had already walked ahead, did not hear him.

Otherwise, she would probably have blushed bright red and punched Wen Xuan with her little fists.

Over the years, Wen Xuan had fooled Xiao Wu quite thoroughly. Things like sleeping while pressed against him being good for growing taller and developing, or massaging her legs and feet making them longer.

Wen Xuan had taken plenty of advantage of Xiao Wu.

Before long, Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan left Soul Hunting Town and arrived at a nearby village.

"Xiao Wu, let's rest here. This place doesn't seem to have any powerful Soul Masters."

Wen Xuan pointed at Blue Silver Village not far ahead as he spoke to Xiao Wu. He was panting heavily as well.

They had walked without stopping the entire way, leaving him exhausted.

His already small body simply could not handle it.

"Xiao Xuan, your body is so weak. That's what you get for never exercising." Though she sounded like she was scolding Wen Xuan, Xiao Wu walked closer and held out her little hand.

She grabbed Wen Xuan, who was supporting himself on his knees, and carried him onto her back.
