"Okay!"

Xiao Wu nodded with a smile, unable to suppress a touch of pride. Even though she already knew what Ye Qiu was thinking, she still knowingly asked, "So? Big Sister Xiao Wu's soul skills are amazing, right?"

"Mm, they're very impressive."

Ye Qiu answered honestly, quite satisfied as well, and did not mind her unnecessary question.

Xiao Wu's soul skills really were formidable.

Waist Bow, Charm, Teleportation.

She had offense, control, and mobility. It was already a fairly well-rounded set.

"Hehe, I'll become even stronger in the future, so you'll have to treat me twice as well."

"How should I treat you well?"

"Hmm? You need to take Big Sister Xiao Wu out more. That was way too short just now—I didn't have enough fun."

Other than cultivation and classes, the only spice in Ye Qiu's life was teasing Xiao Wu. A month passed quickly, and Ye Qiu successfully broke through to level thirty-two.

At that moment, Ye Qiu had just collected this month's subsidy from Spirit Hall. He was leisurely making his way back to the Seventh Dorm when he occasionally encountered students carrying luggage and heading out of the academy.

Vacation had begun.

The students were already returning home one after another. This was Ye Qiu's fifth holiday at Notting Academy.

Ye Qiu wore a springlike smile, his heart filled with joy and anticipation. Soon, he too would set out for Sunset Forest and see this vast Spirit Master World for himself.

Before long.

Ye Qiu returned to the Seventh Dorm.

"Ye Qiu, you're finally back! I was so bored while you were gone!" Xiao Wu hurriedly climbed down from Ye Qiu's bed, fumbling as she straightened his blanket.

"If you were bored, you could've cultivated. Why were you always lying on my bed?" Ye Qiu looked at the mess Xiao Wu had rolled his blanket into and helplessly rolled his eyes.

"I was just tired from packing, and I almost fell asleep by accident." Xiao Wu gave an awkward smile and quickly ran over to Ye Qiu. "So? Did they accidentally give you a few extra Gold Soul Coins again?"

"What are you thinking? How could that kind of good thing happen so often?" Ye Qiu irritably pushed away Xiao Wu's face as she leaned in. Only after her reminder did he recall that he also needed to visit a more advanced main city and update his higher-level Spirit Hall member identification.

No matter what, Spirit Hall had the most widespread influence. While traveling outside, he might even be able to freeload a place to stay and sleep with greater peace of mind.

"I'll wash up first. We can talk later." Ye Qiu gently scraped Xiao Wu's Jade Nose. Tomorrow marked the end of the semester, and it was time for him to temporarily bid this rabbit farewell for several months.

"Okay."

Xiao Wu nodded happily. After Ye Qiu left, she threw herself onto his bed again. When she had cultivated with Ye Qiu before, she had hinted that she wanted to push their beds back together, but after Ye Qiu teased her about it, she had been too embarrassed to bring it up again.

Still, she especially treasured every trip back to Holy Soul Village, because then she would sleep together with Ye Qiu. She would wash Ye Qiu's clothes, Ye Qiu would make delicious food for her, and the two of them would live together alone.

By the time Ye Qiu finished washing up, his bed had been restored to its original state. There was even a small bundle at the head of the bed.

"Ye Qiu, I've already packed everything you need to take home tomorrow! So? When we get home this time... can you make Big Sister Xiao Wu a few more Blue Silver Grass cakes?" Xiao Wu sat by the bed and patted Ye Qiu's blanket. Her face was full of pride, as if seeking praise.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head. "Probably not this time."

"Huh? Why? I've clearly been very obedient lately. Every afternoon and evening, I cultivated with you." Xiao Wu held out her hand and lightly counted on her fingers, looking at Ye Qiu in confusion.

Ye Qiu told her the truth.

"Because I'm not planning to go home this year."

"You're not going home?!"

Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu in surprise. She jumped off the bed and walked over to him, clasping her hands behind her back as she bent forward and tipped up her head, looking utterly charming with a smile on her face. "Then where are you going? Big Sister Xiao Wu will go with you."

Ye Qiu stopped drying his hair and smiled slightly. He suddenly draped the towel in his hand over Xiao Wu's face.

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

Xiao Wu quickly pulled the towel off her face, but Ye Qiu was no longer standing before her. Only his voice came from behind her.

"I'm going out for a while."

"Great, great! Going out is great! I want to see the outside world too."

Xiao Wu happily turned around. Seeing Ye Qiu already sitting at the bedside, she became so excited that she bounced toward him.

Ye Qiu helplessly looked at the overly lively Xiao Wu. After pondering for a moment, he said, "But... I'm not planning to take you with me this time."

"Huh?!"

Ye Qiu's words made Xiao Wu's body stiffen. She nearly twisted her ankle, and the towel in her hand fell to the floor. Yet she had no time to care about that. She only looked at Ye Qiu with confusion and panic written all over her face.

"Ye Qiu, what did you say?"

"I said I'm not planning to take you with me this time." Ye Qiu repeated himself.

Xiao Wu froze for a moment, then quickly ran in front of Ye Qiu and grabbed his arm, her voice tinged with anxiety. "Why? Why won't you take Big Sister Xiao Wu with you?"

"Uh... because it isn't very convenient." Ye Qiu smiled. The place he was going was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, the lair of the Titled Douluo Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

If he brought Xiao Wu along, they might get instantly killed the moment they arrived.

Besides, Tang Hao was still here. He might allow Xiao Wu to flirt around with him, but he definitely would not allow Xiao Wu to leave his sight.

The best and safest course was to have Xiao Wu and Tang San stay in Holy Soul Village for two months.

"What isn't convenient about it! Is it because I haven't been obedient enough?!" Xiao Wu shouted, her rosy eyes wide. It had been a long time since she had yelled at Ye Qiu like this.

"Of course not. You've been very obedient lately." Ye Qiu shook his head with a laugh and pinched her soft, tender cheek.

"Then take me with you. Big Sister Xiao Wu will be bored staying here alone." Xiao Wu's eyes held traces of grievance and pleading. Clinging to Ye Qiu's arm, she gently shook it and began to act cute. "I promise I'll be good. I definitely won't cause you trouble. I can cultivate with you, and I can wash your clothes too."

"Enough!" Ye Qiu tapped her forehead, took her hand into his palm, and gently kneaded it. "It's not like I'm abandoning you. I'll be back when school starts."

"What do you mean, abandoning me? Big Sister Xiao Wu isn't yours." A blush spread across Xiao Wu's face. After retorting, though, she still did not want to be separated from Ye Qiu. "Ye Qiu~ Take me with you, okay? I'll definitely be very obedient."

"Ah! Ye Qiu~"

Ye Qiu suddenly pulled Xiao Wu into his arms, gently holding her small body that had begun to develop slightly. Their cheeks pressed together, and Xiao Wu's body temperature rapidly turned scorching hot.

Wishing everyone a happy life!
