Although Xiao Wu acknowledged Huo Yu'er as her big sister, there was no way she would submit unconditionally to another man unless he could defeat her head-on.
So, Xiao Wu secretly challenged Ye Wen—and it was a compulsory challenge at that. Unable to refuse her, Ye Wen gave her a "brutal beating."
After that battle, Xiao Wu could not get out of bed for an entire day. Her butt was swollen terribly.
And because of that battle, Xiao Wu no longer had much confidence when calling herself Sister Xiao Wu in front of Ye Wen.
At that moment, Ye Wen began carefully analyzing the situation for Xiao Wu. "Look, Xiao Wu. If I can't beat an enemy, then you definitely can't either. Your Charm Soul Skill might be useful against some opponents, but if the gap in cultivation is too large, or there are too many enemies, your Charm will be of little use. It might even injure your own spirit instead.
"In that situation, if you insist on staying behind to fight alongside me, you'll only end up becoming a burden. Don't you think I'm right?"
Xiao Wu ran a brief Simulation in her mind and found that it really would turn out that way. She nodded gloomily.
For the first time, Xiao Wu regretted hastily deciding on her Second Soul Skill. She should not have chosen Charm. Since it was a spiritual-type Soul Skill anyway, she should have picked something like Sister Yu'er's illusion-type ability.
Ye Wen continued, "So, since you can't help me when we're at a disadvantage, wouldn't it be better for you to go back and find reinforcements for me?
"Besides, as long as I say I'm from the Huo Family, those people will only want ransom in the end. They won't harm my life.
