Xiao Wu Wants to Beat Up Little Scoundrel!

"Hey, handsome! What are they doing? It looks like so much fun!"

Xiao Wu was naturally familiar with him as though they were old friends. She reached out and lightly tugged at Blade's sleeve, asking curiously.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, like a child discovering a new continent, filled with the desire to explore.

Blade narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a trace of disdain and impatience.

He shifted lightly, pulling his sleeve from Xiao Wu's hand with a casual yet elegant motion. He answered perfunctorily, his tone flat and calm.

"Fighting over who's boss."

At those three words, Xiao Wu's eyes instantly lit up like two sparkling stars in the night sky.

Her interest was thoroughly piqued, and her excitement was impossible to hide.

"Ooh~ Interesting! That sounds interesting!"

There was a hint of playfulness in Xiao Wu's voice as she immediately asked again.

"Oh, right—handsome, who are you rooting for?"

Her curiosity was like a wild horse breaking free of its reins. She clearly would not let it go without getting an answer.

Blade's expression remained cold. His blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were considering something.

He let out a low sigh, so quiet it was nearly inaudible, yet full of speechless exasperation.

Blade clearly had no interest in this topic. Faced with this overly talkative girl, he chose silence. Like an iceberg, he was difficult to approach.

His attitude conveyed one message with perfect clarity: he did not want to continue this conversation.

Xiao Wu did not grow angry at Blade's cold response. Instead, she felt a little excited as her bright eyes curiously observed the scene ahead.

She saw a child in tattered blue clothes wrestling with a child in a Nuoding Academy uniform. Their movements were rough, their expressions savage. They were clearly locked in a fierce fight.

Xiao Wu looked again at Blade's focused gaze.

At that moment, Blade's gaze was as sharp as a blade, fixed intently on the two fighting children. His blood-red eyes seemed to conceal a bottomless chill.

Xiao Wu blinked. In her eyes, it seemed that the handsome Blade was rooting for neither of them—he even looked down on both children with great disdain!

Xiao Wu looked once more at Blade's enchanting blood-red eyes. Although Blade seemed wild and excited at the moment, Xiao Wu read a different emotion beneath his indifference. She innocently assumed that Blade was angry at those two children?

Xiao Wu gently bit her lower lip as a mischievous idea suddenly rose in her heart.

She puffed out her cheeks, her eyes curving into adorable crescents. A dazzling smile bloomed across her face, like two stars glittering in the night sky.

"Handsome!"

Xiao Wu's voice was sweet, with a hint of playfulness.

She pointed at the two in the dormitory, her eyes full of provocation and confidence.

"I want to be the dormitory boss too!"

She stepped forward, puffing out her small chest as though she could already see the day she became the boss.

"When that happens, I'll protect you!"

She spoke boldly and confidently, waving her little hand through the air as though she already held supreme power.

Xiao Wu's eyes gleamed with excitement. Pointing at the two children still grappling with each other, she spoke with absolute resolve.

"And those two kids—I want to teach them a lesson too!"

She seemed to have already pictured herself heroically separating them and maintaining order.

Then she turned to look at Blade again, the handsome man who had won her heart. Two rosy blushes rose on her delicate cheeks, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

"Then, once I become the boss, will you tell me your name?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head, looking like a little fox waiting for a reward as she awaited Blade's answer.

Blade raised an eyebrow slightly and shot Xiao Wu a sidelong glance. The corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously, making him seem somewhat impatient.

This Xiao Wu who had suddenly appeared actually dared to compete with him for the chance to teach Tang San a lesson? His mood grew even more irritated, as if a fire were burning in his chest.

His plan had already been complicated enough, and now there was another variable.

Blade lightly tapped his fingers against Shizun's Sword, producing a crisp sound. It was like striking against his heart, making his emotions churn even more.

A faint bloody glint flashed in his eyes, revealing the madness and resolve within him. His cold yet magnetic voice slowly rang out, carrying an unquestionable firmness.

"Tang San."

"I'll do it."

As Blade's words fell, the air seemed to freeze. His gaze remained locked on Tang San, like a leopard eyeing its prey, full of possessiveness.

Upon hearing Blade's answer, joy immediately surged in Xiao Wu's heart. She had not expected that she and this mysterious handsome guy would actually share a common enemy.

After all, after chatting for so long, this was the first time she and this nameless handsome guy had shared the same goal!

Her mood instantly brightened, and she felt as though the distance between her and Blade had closed by another step.

With her hands behind her back, she leaned slightly backward and could not help letting out a soft giggle. Her laughter was like a spring breeze brushing over a lake, playful and cheerful.

Clever and quick-witted, Xiao Wu followed Blade's gaze. The instant her eyes landed on Tang San, they turned sly.

She lightly bit her pearly teeth and secretly pondered, So this little brat who still reeks of milk dared to make my handsome brother unhappy!!

A teasing glint flashed through her eyes. She had already made up her mind—she was definitely going to teach this Tang San a proper lesson.

She would just beat him up!

Then Xiao Wu's gaze drifted away from Tang San and settled once more on Blade's handsome face, a face she could never tire of looking at.

A trace of infatuation flashed through Hooligan Rabbit's eyes, as though she were admiring a work of art and discovering new charm every time she looked.

She let out a soft, coquettish "Mm" through her nose, her voice sweet and playful. At the same time, she nodded rapidly like a pecking chicken, winked her lively eyes at Blade, and curled her lips into a sly smile filled with mischief and calculation.

"Then it's settled! I'll teach both of them a lesson for you first, then leave that Tang San or whatever for you!"

"That'll make things easier for you too!"

Xiao Wu's words were full of confidence and decisiveness. She seemed to already regard what would happen next as something firmly in her grasp.

"And remember what we agreed on! Once I become the boss and teach them a lesson, don't forget to tell me your name!"

There was a trace of expectation in Xiao Wu's voice. She seemed to already be imagining the glorious scene of becoming the boss, while also impatiently wanting to know this mysterious handsome guy's true identity.

Blade: "?"

Blade felt utterly baffled. When had he agreed to anything? Telling her to leave Tang San for him had not been a discussion—it had been a notice, an order.

Besides, if she beat Tang San up, how was Blade supposed to take this opportunity to gain some Portrayal Progress?

Just as Blade was still considering how to deal with Xiao Wu's interference, Xiao Wu's cheerful muttering sounded beside his ear. Her tone was full of curiosity and a hint of teasing.

"I, Xiao Wu, really want to see what kind of kid could make such a handsome boy angry!"

There was an innocent domineeringness in her voice, as though she already considered herself Blade's protector.

"Handsome! Just wait! With me protecting you, no one will ever pick on you again!"

Xiao Wu's words were brimming with confidence. Her eyes shone with determination, as though she were making an important oath.

"Hmph hmph!"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu bounced away happily, light and lively like a carefree little deer.

From time to time, she turned back, wanting to take another look at Blade's pleasingly handsome face.

Every time she looked back, her eyes were full of amazement and infatuation, as though she were admiring a precious work of art.

He's already this handsome at such a young age. Once he grows up, wouldn't he be able to charm countless girls across the continent just with that face?

As Xiao Wu thought this, an inexplicable excitement rose in her heart. She lightly bit her lower lip, and determination flashed through her eyes. She had met such a promising handsome guy first—how could she possibly pretend not to notice??

In the forest, all she had seen were soul beasts with rough and even bizarre appearances. When had she ever had the chance to see such delicate beauty? When had she ever enjoyed something this fine!?

Xiao Wu thought, Even if I've never had it before, I have to learn how to enjoy it. The early bird gets the worm!

A sly glint flashed in her eyes, as though she were already prepared to leave a deep impression in Blade's heart.

At this moment, Blade frowned slightly. He felt somewhat speechless. Xiao Wu's easy familiarity made him, someone accustomed to being alone, deeply uncomfortable.

He lightly sheathed Shizun's Sword in his hand, his movements practiced and elegant. Then he lowered his head and unconsciously let out a habitual sigh, low and helpless.

Blade had already decided not to get further entangled with Xiao Wu. He planned to get ahead of her and directly teach Tang San a lesson with his fists, preventing him from becoming the so-called dormitory boss.

However, just as he was about to take a step and make his move, a mechanical system voice suddenly rang out in his mind. Clear and abrupt, it shattered the quiet in his head.

Ding! Xiao Wu has developed a crush on the host and, for the first time, harbors resentment toward the Protagonist. Portrayal Progress increased by 0.5%!!

Series Mission: Make the Protagonist Betrayed by All, in progress! Keep up the good work, host! More Series Missions will be unlocked later! Portrayal Progress reward: 0.1%!!

Current Portrayal Progress: 23.52%!!

Blade: "?"

Blade's movements paused. A puzzled expression appeared on his usually expressionless face, and a trace of confusion flashed through his eyes.
