Soul Ancestor, Are You Going to Help Me Wash Up?

"E-Eat it?!"

Hearing Ye Qiu's instruction, Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, and she seemed reluctant.

"Yeah. If you don't eat this thing, are you saving it for the New Year?" Ye Qiu frowned and shot Xiao Wu an irritated glance.

"But, but I want to..."

Xiao Wu hesitated.

She looked at the red flower in her hands with some reluctance. She felt that this flower carried a special meaning—it represented her unwavering loyalty to Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu's trust and affection for her.

"Foolish rabbit."

Seeing Xiao Wu still unable to make up her mind, Ye Qiu could not help but smile. He raised both hands to cup her fair, tender cheeks, making her meet his gaze, then softly asked, "Why do you keep staring at a flower when I'm right here with you? Would you rather have this flower by your side, or me?"

"O-Of course it's you. Mmph!"

Xiao Wu answered urgently. In her heart, Ye Qiu was naturally the most important.

"Then there you go!"

Before Xiao Wu had finished speaking, Ye Qiu slowly lowered his head and captured her delicate red lips, savoring them carefully. From time to time, Xiao Wu's comfortable hums and soft cries sounded beside his ear.

"Mm~"

Feeling Ye Qiu's lips repeatedly press against hers, Xiao Wu's heartbeat steadily quickened. Her long lashes fluttered, fanning out glistening, misty ripples in her eyes. Imitating him, she slowly and awkwardly began to respond.

After quite a while.

Only when Xiao Wu was struggling to breathe and could barely remain standing did Ye Qiu finally let her go.

Xiao Wu was dazed as she leaned against Ye Qiu's chest. This was the longest Ye Qiu had ever bullied her. Her petite face was flushed, and her beautiful eyes had the hazy look of someone slightly drunk. Even though Ye Qiu had already stopped, her two soft pink cherry lips still parted and closed, glistening with crystal-clear saliva. Within them, her tender, adorable rabbit tongue could be seen, moist and enticing.

Ye Qiu lifted Xiao Wu's chin and made her look at him. Smacking his lips, he softly said, "Can you be good now and eat it?"

"Y-Yes. I'll listen to you."

Xiao Wu's face was like a peach blossom. Her voice was faint, soft, and somewhat muddled as she answered, leaning against Ye Qiu's chest with a lovestruck expression.

"Then hurry up." Ye Qiu chuckled and released her from his embrace.

Xiao Wu staggered and nearly fell, but Ye Qiu caught her, leaving her still leaning against his chest.

"Ye Qiu~ I-I need to rest for a moment." Xiao Wu's face was flushed, her steps light and slightly unsteady. Having never kissed for so long before, she was a little short of oxygen.

"All right."

Ye Qiu nodded slightly and did not tease her. After all, he had only developed such oral skills after exploring for a long time, many times, with another novice, Dugu Yan.

Looking at this adorably foolish rabbit, he could not resist taking another couple of bites at her slightly chubby cheeks. Then he helped straighten the clothes he had rumpled. It could not be helped—after getting close with the fully developed Dugu Yan, he had developed the bad habit of always wanting to grab something.

Half an hour passed.

Under Ye Qiu's watchful gaze, Xiao Wu sat down cross-legged. Holding Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hands, she blushed as she glanced at Ye Qiu. Then, without further hesitation, she brought the red flower toward her mouth.

As though it possessed intelligence, the immortal herb suddenly transformed into a streak of red light and entered Xiao Wu's slightly parted sandalwood mouth.

Xiao Wu froze for a moment before quickly closing her eyes.

Standing nearby, Ye Qiu swept the area once more with Insight Eye.

Only then did he carefully observe the changes in Xiao Wu's body.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red was the king among flowers.

Consuming this herb could grant the power to remain undying alongside heaven and earth. It could raise Soul Power by at least ten levels and completely transform the body. It could even revive the dead and regrow flesh from bones. More importantly, it could help a transformed soul beast conceal the aura on its body.

This ability was naturally of little use while Tang Hao knew the truth, but once he died and took that secret to hell with him, things would be different!

Under Ye Qiu's gaze.

Xiao Wu resembled a cluster of pink flower stamens as the petals of Lovesick Heartbreak Red bloomed around her. Blood-red streams of light danced across her skin, and even the flow of her blood was visible to the naked eye. Lovesick Heartbreak Red was transforming Xiao Wu's body, helping her take a step closer to becoming human.

Purple Demon Eyes!

Blinding radiance flowed through Ye Qiu's eyes. Even Purple Demon Eyes at the Mustard Seed Realm could not see Xiao Wu's true form.

Time passed.

An immortal herb that recognized its master truly was different. In just over an hour, Xiao Wu had completely refined Lovesick Heartbreak Red! Her soft rabbit ears stood upright, and a white tail tinged with pink appeared at her lower back. There was even an additional soul ring beneath her—two yellow and two purple. She had already become a Soul Ancestor! In terms of cultivation, she had surpassed Ye Qiu in one leap.

Xiao Wu opened her eyes.

Alluring blood-red light blossomed in her pupils, taking the form of miniature Lovesick Heartbreak Red flowers. As the radiance faded, the flowers around her closed and disappeared into Xiao Wu's body.

Looking at the still somewhat dazed Xiao Wu, a flash of amazement crossed Ye Qiu's eyes. He crouched down and gently lifted her fair, smooth chin.

"Foolish rabbit, come back to your senses."

Xiao Wu blinked blankly. Once she recognized the figure before her, her beautiful face flushed red, excitement filling her eyes as she threw herself straight at Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu!"

"Damn."

Caught off guard by Xiao Wu's sudden embrace, Ye Qiu was knocked straight to the ground.

"Ye Qiu~"

Xiao Wu pinned Ye Qiu to the ground, her two soft hands gently pressed against his chest. Her crimson eyes brimmed with affection as she softly called his name, gazing silently into his eyes.

"What are you doing? Get up already!"

The back of Ye Qiu's head hurt a little. He looked helplessly at the little rabbit who had been lying on top of him for quite a while without doing anything else.

"Oh! I-I'm getting up now." Xiao Wu hurriedly tried to rise, then hesitated. Blushing, she quickly planted a light kiss beside Ye Qiu's lips. Like a little girl who had stolen a piece of candy, a smile spilled across her face as she gently helped him up.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and rubbed the back of his head.

"Ye Qiu, I didn't mean to." Seeing him rubbing the back of his head, Xiao Wu realized what had happened. She had indeed heard a crisp thud just now. Quickly, she reached out to take over, gently massaging his head.

Her face was full of concern and ingratiating apology.

Ye Qiu smiled and caught Xiao Wu's little hand.

"Alright, I'm fine. Let's head back to the Seventh Dorm first. We can talk about anything else slowly."

"Mm, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, utterly nailing the role of a dutiful wife.

Between the classroom buildings before class had begun.

A young man and woman walked out together. The boy was bright-eyed and handsome beyond compare, while the girl's eyes curved like crescents. Her two soft hands tightly held his, and from time to time, she flashed him a radiant smile.

"Silly rabbit, you're still smiling? I'd just finished bathing, and now I'm dirty again." Ye Qiu shot Xiao Wu an annoyed glance. He had been lying on the ground for quite a while just now.

"It's alright, Ye Qiu. I'll wash all your clothes clean for you." Xiao Wu hugged his arm, looking somewhat apologetic and utterly sincere, though the smile on her face could not be restrained no matter what.

After all, Ye Qiu had just said she had become prettier, more beautiful.

"Really?" Ye Qiu could not help smiling. Turning his head, he leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and teased, "Then what about my body? Will you wash that clean for me too?"

"Ah?!" Xiao Wu's face turned bright red as she looked at Ye Qiu, conflicted.

Thinking of how Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan had already gone deeply into it and had nearly gone all the way, Xiao Wu stiffened her neck, forcibly suppressing her embarrassment as she stammered, "I-I can do it!"

Wishing everyone a happy life!
