Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Universal Adapter

Xiao Wu raised her arm and lowered her head to look at her body covered in black. It felt rather strange.

Her body... seemed to be controlled by both herself and Ye Qiu.

Yet their wills were compatible with each other.

There was no conflict at the moment. Bang! Ye Qiu wanted to test the power of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill state. Xiao Wu understood him perfectly and punched the hard ground. With a dull thud, fine cracks spread across the ground, shattering several floor tiles.

Tap, tap, tap! Xiao Wu's black figure suddenly leaped high into the air. In a few flashes, she darted back and forth across the tall walls on both sides of the alley.

Just as she was about to reach the top of the wall—

"Ah! You stupid rabbit!"

At Ye Qiu's startled cry, Xiao Wu immediately fell downward.

With the ground right before her eyes, black spider silk suddenly shot from Xiao Wu's wrist. Using it for leverage, she spun through the air, landed with both hands on the ground, and performed several graceful somersaults like a gymnast before raising her arms and standing steadily on the ground.

"You damn rabbit! What are you thinking about food for at a time like this? Can you focus a little?"

Ye Qiu's frightened voice rang out. Then he felt a faint pain in his butt and scratched it with his hand. "Hm? Did we get hurt in the fall?"

"N-No, that was from when you kicked me earlier."

Xiao Wu had initially wanted to apologize, but her face suddenly turned red. Even though it was technically her own hand touching her own body, she still found it strangely awkward.

"You perverted rabbit, can you stop having such dirty thoughts?"

Ye Qiu could not help grumbling.

She was such a little kid. He had been single for so many years without thinking about that sort of thing—how was this perverted rabbit even thirstier than him?

"Hmph, when did I have dirty thoughts?"

Xiao Wu gave a soft snort, her tone tinged with resentment. Her body and eyes still hurt even now.

"Can you stop calling me rabbit all the time?"

"It's not wrong."

"..."

"By the way, what does Big Sister Xiao Wu look like right now?"

"There's a puddle of dog pee over there. Let's go look at our reflection."

"Ah?!"

"What are you yelling for? Do you have a better idea?"

"Y-You pervert!"

"Ah! So ugly. Can you make the eyes smaller?"

"I can."

"And shrink the tongue a little too."

"..."

If anyone had been nearby, they would surely have found it horrifying.

One person was making two different voices—a female voice and a young boy's voice—and they were even arguing with each other.

"Alright, stop arguing! I'll heal your injuries."

"Mmnh~ That tickles."

Venom's healing ability was also first-rate.

Broken bones and external injuries were no problem at all. As long as Ye Qiu had enough Soul Power, he could heal most wounds.

Several minutes later.

Ye Qiu emerged from the alley carrying the bedding, though he looked somewhat drained. Sweat beaded on his forehead.

He had still overestimated the amount of Soul Power he possessed.

Xiao Wu, behind him, hurriedly wiped away the remaining tear streaks on her face. Though there were still dark circles beneath her eyes, her waist no longer hurt from being elbowed so many times, and her butt was no longer swollen. Blushing furiously yet smiling, she picked up the quilt and hurried after Ye Qiu.

Seeing how listless Ye Qiu looked, she pressed her red lips together and did not disturb his rest.

As they walked back toward the academy.

Ye Qiu only felt that his head was heavy and muddled, and he occasionally shook it.

Although he had only gone through Xiao Wu's memories once, they were still somewhat too vast. Fortunately, they mostly consisted of scenes from the Lake of Life, so sorting them out was not difficult.

Ye Qiu had also gained a new understanding of his Martial Soul.

Not only could it intertwine memories, it could also link two minds, merge Soul Power, and share all five senses! It was practically a universal adapter for Martial Soul Fusion Skills! It would even be an absolute weapon for picking up girls! Provided the girl did not mind Venom's appearance.

Still, it was no big deal. He could directly hide inside a human body anyway. And after obtaining a soul ring, his Martial Soul should undergo some changes, right? Besides, could he copy other people's soul skills? Ye Qiu turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"Little rabbit, you'll have to cultivate with me from now on. No problem?"

"Mhm, mhm! Big Sister Xiao Wu will!"

Xiao Wu nodded seriously, her face flushed red, and did not forget to thank him.

"Thank you for healing my butt."

"Why are you, you hooligan rabbit, only talking about your butt?"

Seeing that she had regained her vitality, Ye Qiu stopped watching his mouth and began speaking freely.

"Y-You, don't talk nonsense! I'm not!"

Xiao Wu pouted in embarrassment and annoyance, following behind Ye Qiu. As if she had suddenly remembered something, she softly urged, "Ye Qiu, when are you going to give me the lollipop you mentioned before?"

Ye Qiu glanced back at her and smiled teasingly.

"Give it to you? Didn't you cry and shout that you didn't want it before?"

"What?!"

Xiao Wu cried out and quickly ran to Ye Qiu's side, turning to look at him.

"When did I ever say I didn't want it?!"

Ye Qiu turned to look at her as well, and Xiao Wu's eyes immediately began to dart away guiltily.

She stammered.

"E-Even if I did say I didn't want it, you should still give me one! I already cooperated with you."

"That depends on my mood. If you behave yourself..."

The corners of Ye Qiu's lips curled up slightly, and an indescribable glint flashed through his black eyes.

"I-I'll definitely behave."

Panic flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes. Although she knew Ye Qiu would not hurt her, if she made him unhappy... then she was not so sure.

After walking for a while, Ye Qiu spotted another stall selling medicinal ointment and seemed to remember something.

He turned to Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, want to buy some ointment? I can help rub it on your eyes."

In order not to reveal all his methods, Ye Qiu had deliberately left Xiao Wu's most conspicuous dark circles untreated.

"I-I don't want you rubbing anything on me!"

Xiao Wu's face turned crimson as she muttered a refusal to Ye Qiu's suggestion.

"Psh!"

Ye Qiu curled his lips.

"It's just your eyes. What's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, is there anywhere on you that I don't already know about?"

"..."

Xiao Wu's little face reddened. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer, then hugged the quilt tightly and lowered her head shyly.

Everything Ye Qiu said was true.

After transforming into Venom and enveloping her entire body, Ye Qiu understood every part of Xiao Wu perfectly clearly—both physically and mentally!

If there was anything he had yet to understand, he could only wait until later for a deeper understanding.

If he kept investigating now, it would be seriously criminal!

Ye Qiu ignored her and placed the mattress in his hands on top of the quilt she was holding.

He took out the few remaining Copper Soul Coins from his clothes and walked toward the little stall.

Xiao Wu raised her head and stared blankly at Ye Qiu's retreating back, feeling a slight sense of relief in her heart. Wishing everyone a happy life!
