Douluo: Starting by Stealing Xiao Wu and Becoming a Cao Thief

Only a group of gossiping villagers remained.

Optimization

After taking Xun'er inside and closing the door, they were finally cut off from the noise outside.

It seemed that no matter what world one went to, there would always be people who loved gossip.

Wen Xuan could not help shaking his head at the thought.

But as soon as he finished shaking his head and turned around while holding Xun'er's hand, he saw Xiao Wu standing inside the door.

Xiao Wu's face was dark, and her eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

Wen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He knew Xiao Wu must have found out something, or she would not be looking at him like that.

"Xiao Wu... you're up so early."

Before Wen Xuan could finish, Xiao Wu cut him off.

"What is your relationship with this woman? Why are you holding hands?"

Xiao Wu kept staring at Gu Xun'er, whose fingers were interlocked with Wen Xuan's. Her little cheeks began to puff up.

"Yesterday... yesterday, you were like enemies. Today, you're already together."

As Xiao Wu spoke, tears began gathering in her eyes.

They looked as though they might fall at any moment.

"Xiao Wu... don't cry yet. Listen to my explanation." Wen Xuan gently squeezed Xun'er's fingers, then gave Gu Xun'er a look to signal her to let go.

Seeing this, Gu Xun'er pouted unhappily before releasing his hand.

Her fingers slowly separated from Wen Xuan's.

"I'm Brother Xiao Xuan's wife. What enemies... hmph."

Gu Xun'er grumbled unhappily. Though her voice was very soft, Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu still heard it.

"Wife? You... you..." Xiao Wu looked shocked. She had been with Wen Xuan since childhood. How could she not know who was around him?

But Xun'er's tone clearly sounded genuine, and Wen Xuan had not denied it right away. Xiao Wu could not help feeling disappointed in him.

Still, she did not jump to conclusions. They had lived together for so many years. She could not stop trusting Wen Xuan just because of a stranger's few words.

"Xun'er... don't say anything for now. Let me explain it to Xiao Wu."

Afraid that Gu Xun'er would say more, Wen Xuan spoke to her with displeasure.

At that, Gu Xun'er lowered her head.

Yet Wen Xuan did not comfort her.

After all, Gu Xun'er would leave this world, but Xiao Wu would not. He knew the difference between a one-time meal and lifelong meals.

He quickly walked over to Xiao Wu, took her snow-white fingers, and pulled her forcefully into his embrace.

Wen Xuan looked at Xiao Wu affectionately. "Xiao Wu, my relationship with her is complicated. I can't explain it clearly in such a short time. But don't worry, Xiao Wu. I'm sincere toward you. You know this—my feelings for you have never been limited to those between brother and sister."

Wen Xuan did not dare confess directly to Xiao Wu. After all... he had already shaped Gu Xun'er into what he wanted, even if it was only the beginning. But there were still six days left. In those six days, Wen Xuan could definitely completely mold Xun'er into the shape of his Barrett.

However, Xiao Wu, tightly held in Wen Xuan's embrace, did not hear what he said clearly. She could only feel his scorching breath brushing against her face.

Her face flushed red, and she did not dare meet Wen Xuan's eyes.

She quickly turned her head away.

"J-Just talk. Why are you holding me so tightly?"

Yet her crimson ear tips had already revealed everything.

Wen Xuan was overjoyed at the sight.

He knew his actions had worked and that he could surely muddle through this matter.

"I wanted to explain properly too, but I was afraid that after hearing my explanation, you would... get angry."

As he spoke, Wen Xuan reached out and rubbed Xiao Wu's cute Rabbit Ears.

"Don't touch me... I still have something to ask you."

Xiao Wu slapped away the hand kneading her Rabbit Ears.

She looked at Wen Xuan strangely.

She did not even notice that her little face had already turned completely red.

"Oh! What is it?"

"Did you do something to me last night? And why are my rabbit underwear missing? Was it you...? There were only the two of us in bed..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xuan froze briefly before quickly recovering.

"Ahem... Xiao Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would a boy like me want you girls' Underwear? I can't wear it or eat it."

Wen Xuan concealed the guilt in his heart, speaking with considerable certainty.

But Xiao Wu stared into his eyes, her gaze full of suspicion.

When she woke up this morning, Wen Xuan was no longer beside her. There was also a large wet patch on the bedsheet, and her Underwear was gone.

When she stood up, she also felt a slight stinging pain below.

Thinking carefully, she knew it had to be Wen Xuan. But because Wen Xuan had been holding Gu Xun'er's hand just now, she had nearly forgotten about it.

Seeing Xiao Wu continue staring at him, Wen Xuan gently patted her little head.

"Would Brother lie to you?"

But the moment he finished speaking, a pair of Triangular Blue-White Underwear fell out.

Xiao Wu immediately knew it belonged to a girl.

Then she remembered that Gu Xun'er had initially come to Wen Xuan, saying he had stolen her Underwear. She instantly realized that this pair of Blue-White Underwear belonged to Gu Xun'er.

"Hey, hey... Xiao Wu, don't misunderstand. Xun'er left this with me. It's not what you think. I really didn't steal it."

After saying that, Wen Xuan awkwardly bent down and picked up the Blue-White Underwear from the ground.

But Gu Xun'er's innocent, sweet childish voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, all my underwear is in my ring. I never gave Brother Xiao Xuan any Underwear. Does it belong to another girl?"

After speaking, Gu Xun'er helplessly lifted her skirt.

Her gaze dropped to the Lace Underwear she was wearing.

Xiao Wu saw that as well, and her face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression change drastically, Wen Xuan hurriedly stood up and put away Gu Xun'er's Underwear. He was about to continue coaxing Xiao Wu, but before he could—

A pair of Pink Underwear with Rabbit Carrot Pattern slowly drifted out of Wen Xuan's chest.

"This is bad... I should just 'Optimize' her."

Wen Xuan felt that any explanation would be pointless. He immediately stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and pressed it against Xiao Wu's darkened head.

Then he said one word.

"Optimization."

To avoid completely erasing her as he had done with Gu Xun'er, Wen Xuan reduced the output of his Soul Power.

As light shone from Wen Xuan's palm, Xiao Wu's dark expression turned blank the next second.

She stood there foolishly, her eyes rolling white.

But she regained consciousness in the next moment.

"Xiao Xuan! What are you doing here? And who is this girl?"

The "Optimized" Xiao Wu looked at Wen Xuan in confusion.

Wen Xuan had erased her memories from recent days. Xiao Wu only remembered that she and Wen Xuan had just arrived in Blue Silver Village to settle down.

Seeing that Xiao Wu still remembered enough, Wen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled at Xiao Wu.

"Nothing. Let's go inside and talk. This girl is a little sister you just met. Don't you remember, Xiao Wu?"

Returning to the Battle Through the Heavens Plane

After hearing Wen Xuan's introduction, Xiao Wu stepped forward and greeted Gu Xun'er with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing."

"Uh... hello. Just call me Xun'er."

Xiao Wu's sudden change caught Gu Xun'er off guard.

She did not know what Wen Xuan had done to Xiao Wu just now to make her forget what had happened between them.

Seeing the two girls become familiar with each other, Wen Xuan smiled and took both Xiao Wu's and Gu Xun'er's hands.

"Since you know each other now, get along well from now on."

Gu Xun'er naturally stood on Wen Xuan's side. Whatever Wen Xuan said, she simply nodded.

Xiao Wu's consciousness had identified Gu Xun'er as a sister she had befriended, so she did not refuse either.

Thus, the three of them lived in Blue Silver Village for several days.

During that time, Wen Xuan fed the Form Transformation Pill to Xiao Wu. He did not know whether it would work on her.

After all, cultivation in the two worlds was different, and Xiao Wu was not a magical beast.

Fortunately, the Form Transformation Pill completely erased Xiao Wu's soul beast aura.

Even Wen Xuan had not expected that.

As they lived together over the next few days, Gu Xun'er slept in the same bed as Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan at night.

But every time, Wen Xuan would secretly wake Gu Xun'er and take her outside to play poker for half an hour, or seek excitement with her in the house.

They would get to know each other deeply right in front of Xiao Wu.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu slept soundly at night and occasionally dreamed, so she was never awakened. Otherwise, if she caught them, Wen Xuan might have had to use "Optimization" again to make her forget.

As they got to know each other more deeply over those days, Gu Xun'er's complexion gradually became rosy. Her face increasingly developed toward adulthood, while the pink rabbits before her chest grew fuller by the day.

Xiao Wu even asked Gu Xun'er to teach her, since what woman did not want a better figure?

Unfortunately, Gu Xun'er could not teach her. These were all the results of her hard work over the past few days.

During the day, they wandered around together, taking in the local customs and buying specialties from this world with Gold Soul Coins.

None of them could cook, so they could only pay villagers in the village for meals.

Fortunately, Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu had brought enough gold coins.

The scene shifted. Today was the seventh day since Gu Xun'er had arrived in the Douluo Continent Plane, and the system in Wen Xuan's mind began reminding him that Gu Xun'er was about to leave.

Seeing this, Wen Xuan took Gu Xun'er outside alone to talk.

Looking at the woman before him, whom he had completely conquered, Wen Xuan felt somewhat reluctant to let her go. After all, they had spent every night together.

He would need some time to get used to Gu Xun'er's departure.

But he could not indulge himself too much. Xiao Wu's Soul Power had already risen by one level over the past few days, while he had made no progress, focusing only on getting to know Gu Xun'er deeply.

Wen Xuan touched Gu Xun'er's face and spoke softly. "Remember your Husband's words. When you return to your original world, stay away from that Xiao Yan. Also... remember to say that you suffered a backlash from the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and forgot many things from the past. If there is anything you don't understand, ask your subordinate Ling Ying."

After hearing Wen Xuan's words, Gu Xun'er nodded obediently and rubbed her face hard against his hand.

Over these past few days, she had already become infatuated with playing poker with Wen Xuan. What had once been painful had now become easy enjoyment.

Xiao Wu was now entirely shaped by Wen Xuan. His Barrett could enter and leave freely, like a key fitting into a lock.

"Husband... will we meet again?"

Gu Xun'er looked at Wen Xuan reluctantly.

"Uh..."

Seeing Gu Xun'er's reluctant expression, Wen Xuan did not know how to answer. His system was rather special—like a dead horse, it never answered questions. It only knew how to speak according to fixed procedures.

It did not have the slightest trace of humanity.
