"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" Wen Xuan was startled by Xiao Wu's sudden action.

"Seeing how tired you are, this Sister Xiao Wu will reluctantly carry you to the village ahead."

"Uh!!! All right." Wen Xuan did not force himself to keep going and placed his hands around Xiao Wu's fair neck, clasping them together.

He smelled the faint fragrance of Blue Silver Grass on Xiao Wu's body, mixed with a trace of milky sweetness.

Wen Xuan's thoughts began to wander.

Little runt, little runt, your wife definitely wouldn't be your wife in this life.

As he thought that, Wen Xuan casually rubbed the back of his hand against Xiao Wu's slightly developed Little Buns.

By the time Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan reached the village entrance, the sky had already darkened, and many villagers had begun cooking.

The old man at the village entrance saw the two children and walked over to Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu with the aid of his cane.

He spoke gently:

"Little ones, how did you come to our Blue Silver Village? Where are your parents? It's getting late outside, and there are quite a few bandits nearby."

Hearing the old man's voice, Wen Xuan patted Xiao Wu's shoulder.

"You can put me down now, Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu released the arms around Wen Xuan and turned her gaze toward the old man.

"This is my..." Before Xiao Wu could speak, Wen Xuan cut her off.

Wen Xuan was afraid Xiao Wu might say something inappropriate. After all, the human world was not like the world of soul beasts.

"I'm her Brother. My name is Wen Xuan, and she's Xiao Wu, my younger sister. Because of the Empire's war, our parents... they already... already..." Wen Xuan immediately began acting.

He even sniffled softly, making the old man's face fill with sympathy.

"Children, why don't you stay in Blue Silver Village? As it happens, I have an empty thatched cottage no one is using. If you don't mind..."

"Thank you, Grandpa. We don't mind." Wen Xuan immediately grasped the old man's aged, callused hand.

His eyes were full of gratitude.

"Come, follow me. Sigh, you poor children."

"Oh! Right, I'm the Village Chief of Blue Silver Village. You can call me Village Chief Lan. From now on, treat this place like your own home. Spirit Hall will be sending someone here tomorrow to awaken Martial Souls, so you can join the others." After speaking, Village Chief Lan looked at Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu.

"Okay~ Thank you, Grandpa Lan."

After speaking, Wen Xuan poked Xiao Wu beside him.

He signaled for her to say something too.

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief." Xiao Wu finally recovered from Wen Xuan's nonsense.

Brother Gun Reached God Tier, Heading to the Redo of Healer World

"Hahaha, good, good, good. You're both good children. Sit here for now. I'll get you something to eat."

Village Chief Lan was already half in the grave and had no children of his own. Hearing Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan call him Grandpa made the old man smile endlessly.

After bringing Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan into a small thatched cottage, he headed toward his own home.

Once Village Chief Lan left, Xiao Wu patted Wen Xuan's shoulder. "Xiao Xuan, why did you lie just now?"

"Xiao Wu, are you stupid? Were we supposed to say we came out of the Star Dou Great Forest? Wouldn't people treat us like freaks? Besides, that wasn't a lie. It was a well-intentioned lie."

"Your mouth is really something." After hearing Wen Xuan's explanation, Xiao Wu more or less accepted it. At this point, she still held some hostility toward humans.

Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan entered the small thatched cottage.

The place had the basic necessities, tables and stools, but everything was old. The walls were muddy and looked as though they leaked, while the roof was made of thatch.

But Wen Xuan did not mind it, and Xiao Wu minded it even less. Compared to her time among soul beasts, where a pile of grass beside her could serve as a nest, this was much better.

Before long, Village Chief Lan brought over some sesame flatbreads and two bowls of congee.

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Wu, hurry up and eat, then get some sleep. You both look exhausted. Rest early. Tomorrow, you'll be awakening your Martial Souls."

After speaking, he placed the food in his hands on the table and gave Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan a benevolent smile.

"All right, eat up and sleep early. Grandpa will be leaving now. Remember to lock the door tonight." With that, Village Chief Lan leaned on his cane and slowly walked outside.

Until he disappeared from sight.

Once he was gone, Xiao Wu immediately picked up a sesame flatbread and took a bite.

It was not especially delicious, but Xiao Wu still ate with relish. Compared to carrots and Blue Silver Grass, this was the first time she had eaten human food.

As she spoke, Xiao Wu did not forget to tear off a piece for Wen Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, hurry and eat. You look so tired."

Seeing that, Wen Xuan directly took a bite of the sesame flatbread from Xiao Wu's hand.

He even used his lips to suck on Xiao Wu's milk-scented finger.

Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed bright red from Wen Xuan's actions.

She raised her hand, wanting to punch Wen Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, what are you doing? How could you~"

"All right, don't be angry. Anyway, Xiao Wu, you'll be my little wife sooner or later, so don't worry about things like that."

Wen Xuan instinctively dodged.

Hearing Wen Xuan's words, Xiao Wu's little face immediately turned crimson, making her look like a ripe apple.

"I... I'm not your little wife! And you, you philandering radish, you actually called me your little wife. Then who's your main wife?" Xiao Wu grabbed Wen Xuan and wrapped him tightly with her legs covered in pink stockings.

After fooling around for a while, Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan both felt tired. Not long after, they lay down on the bed.

Since there was only one bed, Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu fell asleep hugging each other.

The two had slept together since childhood, so neither of them found it strange or thought much of it.

The night passed without incident.

As soon as dawn broke the next day, Village Chief Lan's voice rang out from outside.

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Wu, get up quickly! The person from Spirit Hall is here to awaken Martial Souls. Hurry up, don't be late."

Hearing the voice, Wen Xuan woke up first.

Feeling as though something was pressing against his face, he opened his eyes and saw a pink little foot on his face.

Wen Xuan had long grown used to it. He grabbed Xiao Wu's tender foot and began tickling it.

"Hahaha, stop messing around, Xiao Xuan! Stop tickling me." Xiao Wu was awakened by Wen Xuan's tickling.

After sitting up, Xiao Wu saw that her foot was in Wen Xuan's hand.

"Hmph, hmph. Xiao Xuan, why do you like playing with my feet? They're not even clean. I walk around all day, so they're filthy."

Though Xiao Wu said that, a smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Xiao Wu did not know why, but she really liked Wen Xuan touching her legs and feet. It gave her an indescribable sense of happiness.

"Haha, all right, it's time to get up. We'll be awakening our Martial Souls soon. Xiao Wu, hurry and put on your stockings. We're going out." Wen Xuan did not intend to answer Xiao Wu's question and changed the subject.

Could he say that he liked her legs and feet? Wouldn't that make people think he was a ruffian? Though Xiao Wu was known as the Ruffian Rabbit, she had not become one yet.

"Then~ Xiao Xuan, help me put them on..."

Xiao Wu did not pull her leg back from Wen Xuan's hand. Instead, she asked him to help her put on her stockings.

"Sigh... Xiao Wu, why are you so lazy?" Though he said that, Wen Xuan did not release Xiao Wu's foot.

The next second, he helped Xiao Wu put on her stockings.

Before long, the two walked out of the thatched cottage together.

Village Chief Lan led Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan toward the place where Martial Souls would be awakened.

They arrived at a relatively luxurious house, surrounded by children about the same age as Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu.

Every one of them looked expectantly at the middle-aged man ahead.

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Wu, go awaken your Martial Souls first. I'm going to cook." With that, Village Chief Lan slowly walked away.

Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan exchanged a glance, then both turned their eyes toward the Soul Grandmaster ahead.

"Your families must have already told you about this, so I won't explain too much. Line up later, and awaken your Martial Souls one by one."

After speaking, the middle-aged man opened the rather luxurious house and signaled for the children outside to enter.

Then, just as in the original story, they began awakening Martial Souls.

Blue Silver Village truly lived up to its name. Nearly everyone had Blue Silver Grass as their Martial Soul. Only a few had sickles or wooden rods, but none of them possessed Soul Power.

The children lowered their heads in disappointment as they looked at Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan, the last two remaining.

Though they did not know why there were suddenly two unfamiliar people in the village, they were still young and did not care much.

"I'll go first, Xiao Xuan. Watch carefully. Witness Sister Xiao Wu's performance."

After saying that, Xiao Wu walked toward the awakening formation.

In truth, Xiao Wu had already awakened her Martial Soul on her own. This awakening was merely for show, as Wen Xuan had told her earlier.

Seeing Xiao Wu go to awaken her Martial Soul, Wen Xuan summoned the system panel.

Looking at the familiar screen of light, Wen Xuan turned his gaze to the draw button displaying a 5.

"Xiao Wu is awakening her Martial Soul anyway, so I might as well draw again. If I'm lucky, I could casually draw that old bastard Asura God's sword."

Wen Xuan spoke as he placed his hand on the button before him.

The next second, the roulette wheel began spinning endlessly.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have drawn Keyaru's "Optimization and Degradation" from Redo of Healer. Ding! This draw has formed the conditions for Mutual Travel. Please prepare yourself, Host. You are about to enter the Redo of Healer world.

"Fuck, it's actually Brother Gun's skill. Wait, why am I so unlucky this time? I even have to go to Brother Gun's world." Feeling a strange sensation suddenly appear in both hands, Wen Xuan felt refreshed all over.

His hands also began to glow.

"Such a wonderful start. With Optimization and Degradation, won't this system's draws basically be free? Something feels off."

Ding! Three seconds until entering the Redo of Healer plane. 3... 2... 1.

Wen Xuan felt a wave of dizziness, and the next second, he vanished from where he stood.

Breaking Brother Gun's Famous Scene

At the same time.

The Redo of Healer world.

Keyaru, also known as Brother Gun, had just finished playing the finger-breaking game. He took a red-hot Fire Rod from the bonfire beside him and slowly walked toward Princess Freyja.

Brother Gun stared coldly at the princess below, whose legs had been crippled.

Looking at the princess who had treated him like a dog in his previous life, Brother Gun could barely suppress the urge to kill her.

But killing her would be letting her off too easily. A smile curled at his lips as he looked playfully at Freyja.

"Let's play another game. Do you want the rod in my hand to go inside, or... my rod?"

As he spoke, Brother Gun raised his Barrett, signaling for her to make a choice.

At Brother Gun's feet, Freyja had already been thoroughly broken and stared blankly ahead.

Not only had her fingers been broken several times just now, but they had been repeatedly healed and broken again, forcing her to endure endless pain.

Hearing Brother Gun's voice, Freyja looked up at him.

When she saw the iron rod in Brother Gun's hand glowing red-hot, and the man she had once imprisoned and treated like a dog now treating her this way...

A brief flash of killing intent appeared in Freyja's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. After all, Brother Gun was still watching.

"I... I..." Freyja did not know what to choose.

After all, neither was something she could accept.

One was a red-hot iron rod, something no human could possibly endure. The other was the man she had once tamed like a dog.
