Xiao Wu said that, but even she did not believe it herself. Otherwise, her cheeks and ears would not have been burning.

Xiao Wu herself could feel the heat on her cheeks.

Too guilty to look at Wen Xuan, she casually made up an excuse and ran into the inner room.

"Enough talking. I'll go... straighten the sheets and tidy up the house first."

Watching Xiao Wu nervously run into the room, Wen Xuan merely curled his lips into a smile.

He had clearly seen Xiao Wu's flushed little face just now.

How could Wen Xuan not understand Xiao Wu's feelings?

They simply had not voiced them to each other yet.

Xiao Wu did not see Wen Xuan as a brother, and Wen Xuan did not truly see Xiao Wu as a younger sister. They treated each other like lovers.

They were simply still too young and did not know how to say it.

"I still have five chances to draw, but I won't use the Lottery for now. I don't even have a Soul Ring yet... and my Lightning Magic hasn't reached Intermediate Rank. I need to work harder. Otherwise, I won't even have a skill to save my life with. Both Optimization and Degradation have limits too... sigh."

Setting aside his thoughts about Xiao Wu, Wen Xuan began worrying about his own strength again. His Lightning was only at the beginner level, and his Martial Soul was merely an altered Soft Bone Rabbit that had undergone Optimization. Wen Xuan did not plan to continue Optimizing his Martial Soul. At present, his only offensive skills were Degradation and Lightning. His Martial Soul was simply too weak.

Even if he continued with Optimization, he did not know how long it would take to reach a God-Tier Martial Soul.

Right now, only Lightning needed urgent cultivation. Optimization and Degradation would both grow stronger as his Soul Power and physical body increased.

"Forget it. I'll take things one step at a time."

With that, he headed into the room as well.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of days passed. Only a few days remained until Luoding City Junior Soul Master Academy began enrollment.

At that moment, Wen Xuan sat cross-legged on the roof, condensing Star Seeds.

"Xiao Xuan, what are you cultivating every day? Why are there electric arcs around you? And what are those spinning little points of starlight in front of you?"

Below, Xiao Wu watched him spend every day either eating or sitting cross-legged in meditation. He was not cultivating Soul Power, yet she had no idea what he was doing. Wen Xuan would not tell her, either.

After asking for several days without getting an answer, Xiao Wu felt as though ants were crawling through her heart. She wanted more and more to know what Wen Xuan was cultivating.

It looked very powerful. After all, Soul Beasts feared Lightning Tribulation the most, and those Star Seeds around Wen Xuan were Lightning Star Seeds.

Hearing her voice, Wen Xuan withdrew from his Lightning spiritual space.

Turning Star Seeds into a Star Track really is difficult. Who knows how long it will take before I reach Intermediate Rank.

After grumbling inwardly for a moment, Wen Xuan still opened his eyes in dissatisfaction.

He looked down unhappily at Xiao Wu, who stood below in an apron, looking soft and pink.

There was even some soot on her face from cooking.

The words of rebuke he had been about to say were swallowed when he saw Xiao Wu holding a steaming bowl of food.

"Sigh... I really can't do anything about you."

After saying that, Wen Xuan jumped down from the roof.

He reached out and wiped the soot from Xiao Wu's little face, then pinched her soft pink cheeks.

"Do you really want to know that badly?"

"Mm-hm, of course I do. You don't know how instinctively frightened I am by the lightning you cultivate. I... I was only asking because I was worried something might happen to you."

Xiao Wu had also noticed the flash of resentment in Wen Xuan's eyes just now.

As she spoke, she lowered her little head, and her pink Rabbit Ears drooped involuntarily.

Just like her mood at that moment.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Xuan. Did I... interrupt your cultivation? It's fine if you don't want to tell me. I won't ask anymore. I'll go bring out all the dishes for you. Don't worry... I learned how to cook from the auntie on the next street recently. It won't taste too bad."

With that, Xiao Wu headed toward the kitchen.

"No need."

Seeing Xiao Wu's dejected expression, Wen Xuan reached out and grabbed her just as she was about to leave.

Then he pulled hard, drawing Xiao Wu's soft body into his arms until they were pressed close together face-to-face.

Xiao Wu had learned to cook for him over the past few days. She prepared tasty food for him every day, stayed by his side constantly, and protected him as though guarding him during cultivation.

Though Wen Xuan had been cultivating, he had seen all of it.

"What I cultivate is actually Lightning Magic. Xiao Wu, you might not understand it, so just think of it as a Lightning Soul Skill. I only want to become stronger as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Wen Xuan hugged Xiao Wu tightly, pressed his face against hers, and kissed her cheek.

"I want to become stronger so I can protect you, Xiao Wu, and help you avenge your mother. I don't want you to get hurt... and I don't want to treat you as only my younger sister." Wen Xuan looked at Xiao Wu affectionately after saying that.

Having already liked Wen Xuan, Xiao Wu's eyes filled with tears after hearing his sudden confession. She had also been upset just moments ago because he had refused to tell her his secret.

"Why are you crying? Don't cry, Xiao Wu. Was I too harsh with you just now?"

Seeing Xiao Wu looking at him with tears in her eyes, Wen Xuan tenderly wiped them away.

"Xiao Xuan..."

"What is it?" Hearing Xiao Wu's sniffles, Wen Xuan quickened the movements of his fingers as he wiped away her tears.

"I don't want to be only your younger sister either. I want to become Xiao Xuan's wife... I want to wash your clothes, cook for you, and stay with you forever. As for my mother, I don't want you to risk your life either. I've already... already lost my mother. I don't want to lose you too, Xiao Xuan."

After saying that, Xiao Wu buried her little face in Wen Xuan's chest and began to cry.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I've always treated Xiao Wu as my wife too. We'll avenge your mother once we have the strength."

Although he said that, Wen Xuan actually wanted to make Bibi Dong his own even more.

After all, Bibi Dong was one of the greatest beauties in the Douluo Plane. With the System supporting him, along with inheriting Brother Gun's God-Tier power, taking Bibi Dong was only a matter of time. When the time came, he could use Optimization on Xiao Wu to make her forget about it. Wouldn't that be easy?

Why Did You Run So Fast?

As Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan opened their hearts to each other, their relationship slowly changed from that of siblings into lovers.

However... during the day, they still interacted like brother and sister. But at night... they became comrades-in-arms.

Wen Xuan used Barrett to challenge Xiao Wu to one-on-one duels. Since they were too young, Xiao Wu was only willing to use her mouth to help Wen Xuan relieve his Jade Fire.

And so... several days passed in a row.

"Get up, Xiao Wu. Today is the day the Soul Master Academy begins enrollment."

Wen Xuan poked the girl lying in his arms.

Because she had been too exhausted yesterday, Xiao Wu's lips were swollen.

Hearing Wen Xuan's voice, Xiao Wu reluctantly opened her eyes.

Still looking half-asleep, she gazed at Wen Xuan with bleary eyes.

"Xiao Xuan... let me sleep a little longer. Registration lasts for so long anyway. It'll be fine if we go later."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu burrowed back into the blanket, resting her head against Wen Xuan's chest.

Seeing this, Wen Xuan felt somewhat helpless. However, he had a way to deal with Xiao Wu.

"If you still won't get up... then I'm going to hehe."

As he spoke, Wen Xuan reached beneath the blanket and started fidgeting around.

Hearing that, Xiao Wu did not take Wen Xuan's threat seriously at all and continued sleeping with her head covered.

"You forced me to do this." Seeing that Xiao Wu was still asleep, Wen Xuan could not hold back any longer. He moved the hand that had been pinching her bunny to her soft, bouncy little butt.

Then his fingertips slipped in.

At first, Xiao Wu did not feel anything unusual. She only felt a little ticklish.

But as Wen Xuan's middle and index fingers sped up, a wet patch appeared on the blanket.

Xiao Wu hurriedly reached out beneath the blanket to grab Wen Xuan's wandering fingers.

"You can't, not in the morning." Xiao Wu spoke from beneath the blanket, her voice muffled and accompanied by hurried heartbeats and panting.

"Then hurry up and get up." Wen Xuan said this and pulled his fingers out.

The moment his hand emerged from beneath the blanket, there was a faint moan from inside.

He knew it was Xiao Wu's voice, but Wen Xuan did not care. Instead, he brought his two wet fingers to his nose and sniffed them.

Mm! Not bad. It still smelled like Seafood.

Wen Xuan did not say that aloud.

Before long, Xiao Wu poked her head out from under the blanket. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Wen Xuan, appearing utterly wronged.

"Xiao Xuan, you have to take responsibility. My bunny panties are all wet, and I don't have any spare Underwear... sob, sob, sob."

"It's fine. When we go register later, we'll buy you another pair. Get dressed first, and let's hurry to register. I'll buy them for you on the way. You can change directly at the Women's Clothing Store."

"Really?"

Hearing that Wen Xuan was going to buy her Underwear again, Xiao Wu's tearful eyes immediately lit up. She wiped away her uncertain tears with her hand and instantly flipped over to get out of bed.

Seeing that, Wen Xuan only smiled without saying anything.

Right in front of Wen Xuan, Xiao Wu changed into the pink dress she had bought not long ago. She even had Wen Xuan help her put on pink Stockings, then paired them with pink princess shoes.

Wen Xuan did not know why Xiao Wu always liked buying pink dresses. Even her Stockings had to be pink.

However, Wen Xuan did not dislike it. Instead, he carefully helped Xiao Wu put on her Stockings.

Once everything was ready, Wen Xuan stored the dress, Underwear, and other clothes Xiao Wu needed to change into in his System Space.

After getting herself ready, Xiao Wu spun around in front of Wen Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, how do I look? Is it pretty?"

Hearing Xiao Wu call him, Wen Xuan stopped putting away the dress and lowered his gaze beneath Xiao Wu's cool dress.

As Xiao Wu spun, the breeze lifted her skirt, eventually revealing that Xiao Wu was not wearing any Underwear...

"Pretty! It's quite pink too, though there's a bit too much water."

Wen Xuan gave Xiao Wu a thumbs-up, showing his wholehearted approval.

After all, it really was pink there, without much prickly hair.

"You're awful. I'm ignoring you." Seeing Wen Xuan staring beneath her skirt, Xiao Wu lowered her head to look.

In an instant, a blush rapidly spread across her ears and cheeks.

After lightly punching Wen Xuan with her little fist, Xiao Wu ran outside.

Wen Xuan immediately followed after her.

However, Xiao Wu was not angry. On the contrary, she was rather happy that her body could attract Wen Xuan.

But she did not want Wen Xuan to know that. Otherwise, he would only push his luck further, so Xiao Wu shyly ran away.

First, she wanted to buy Underwear as quickly as possible. Otherwise, she might accidentally expose herself. It did not matter if Wen Xuan looked, but outsiders... absolutely could not.

After all, Xiao Wu liked hopping around and fighting. If she was not wearing Underwear, would that not be giving others a free show?

One chased while the other ran, and Xiao Wu held down her skirt as she arrived at the Women's Clothing Store.

"Hurry up, Xiao Xuan." After saying that, Xiao Wu entered the store by herself.

The young woman in the store warmly introduced various styles to Xiao Wu.

However, Xiao Wu remained unmoved, only watching Wen Xuan as he entered the store.

Xiao Wu pointed at Wen Xuan.

"You don't need to introduce anything. My Xiao Xuan will help me choose."

After saying that, she gestured for the attendant to leave, giving herself and Wen Xuan some space.

"Certainly, miss. If you need anything else, please call for me. We are happy to serve you."

Seeing the boy Xiao Wu had pointed to, the attendant understandingly bowed and left, giving the two of them space.

As soon as Wen Xuan entered, he heard Xiao Wu's amusing remark. However, he said nothing and covered his eyes as he walked over to Xiao Wu.

"Stop covering them. She's gone. It's just the two of us here. What part of me haven't you seen... Hmph, would I have needed to come here if it weren't for you?"

Xiao Wu was extremely displeased by Wen Xuan's pretended restraint.
