Rogue Rabbit Loves Overthinking, Blinded Douluo Appears

Huh, was Xiao Wu really this obedient?

She had to be pretending!

The corners of Qi Lin's mouth inexplicably curled up as he walked over and reached out to knead Xiao Wu's porcelain-doll-like cheeks.

"Ah, so cute!"

Seeing how harmoniously the two children got along, Xu Qian couldn't help but reveal a doting smile.

Qi Tian, meanwhile, smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits.

Although the children of those wealthy merchants and nobles were quite cute too, they still fell far short of Xiao Wu.

That evening, the family ate in the hall, where the table was covered with a lavish dinner.

After asking Xiao Wu, Xu Qian had specifically prepared three dishes involving radishes, and Xiao Wu ate to her heart's content.

Qi Lin watched Xiao Wu curiously and deliberately placed a piece of meat in her bowl.

They said rabbits were omnivores, so he wanted to see whether Xiao Wu ate meat besides radishes.

As for the result?

Xiao Wu froze at first, then tilted her head and glanced at Qi Lin several times. Seeing him smile faintly at her, his expression gentle and warm, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Xiao Wu muttered softly under her breath, so quietly that only she could hear it.

"What does he mean by this? Is he trying to hit on me?"

All that could be said was that Xiao Wu truly lived up to her title as a hundred-thousand-year-old Rogue Rabbit. Her way of thinking was very "mature."

Of course, Xiao Wu ultimately ate the meat Qi Lin had placed in her bowl.

"So she does eat meat!"

Qi Lin muttered quietly as well.

Xu Qian and Qi Tian exchanged a glance, each seeing the teasing look on the other's face.

Halfway through the meal, Qi Tian suddenly said, "Oh, right. In a few days, Spirit Hall Masters will be going to the countryside again to awaken the martial souls of commoners.

"If the two of you awaken Soul Power, I'll send you to Nuoding Academy."

Xiao Wu's heart stirred at those words.

If she went to Nuoding Academy, she would be able to integrate herself more fully among human soul masters.

Qi Lin chewed a few times, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then asked curiously, "Will Sister Sisi be the one coming to awaken the martial souls in our village this year too?"

Sisi was a soul master attached to the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City. Every year, she went to the countryside to awaken the martial souls of ordinary commoners who had turned six.

After meeting Qi Lin three years ago, she had taken quite a liking to him. Over the past three years, she had visited his family every New Year.

Qi Tian said strangely, "Miss Sisi has come to Radish Village for several years in a row. This year will surely be no exception."

After saying that, Qi Tian paused before asking curiously, "What, you don't want Miss Sisi to come? Don't you like her quite a bit?"

Qi Lin shook his head. "No, I just heard that the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City has a Master named Su Yuntao, so I wanted to see him for myself."

Everyone online said that Su Yuntao was the Blinded Douluo. Now that he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, Qi Lin naturally wanted to see for himself.

Qi Tian shook his head with a smile. "Don't even think about it. I heard that the areas where Spirit Hall Masters awaken martial souls in the countryside are fixed every year. Master Su Yuntao isn't responsible for our area."

"It's fine, I was just thinking about it!"

Qi Lin said indifferently, though inwardly, he wondered what reason Su Yuntao would have for coming to Radish Village.

The man would definitely come. That was his intuition!

After dinner, Qi Tian and Xu Qian went off to tend to their own matters, leaving only Qi Lin and Xiao Wu in the hall.

Like a curious baby, Xiao Wu wandered around the hall, looking left and right with novelty filling her bright, watery eyes.

The hall contained exquisite wooden carvings, preserved plant and animal specimens, easels and drawing boards, as well as all kinds of strange instruments.

"Your home is really beautiful!" Xiao Wu said with a smile, blinking her eyes.

When she had first taken human form, Er Ming had built her a wooden cabin too.

But it had been ugly, not pretty at all.

Qi Lin gave Xiao Wu a warm smile. "If you think it's beautiful, then stay here peacefully. There'll always be food for you."

Then Qi Lin remembered that Xiao Wu's mother seemed to have died in the original story, so he added, "Just treat my mother as your own mother. You can tell she likes you a lot."

Yet upon hearing Qi Lin's words, Xiao Wu revealed an expression of just as I thought.

This human child really was trying to hit on me.

Looks like Sister Xiao Wu really is charming.

Xiao Wu thought smugly.

Qi Lin was slightly stunned when he saw Xiao Wu suddenly space out with a smile on her face.

No way, was she moved that easily?

Before long, Xiao Wu came back to her senses. Looking at the puzzled Qi Lin, she once again fell into deep contemplation.

She was considering whether, if Qi Lin truly wanted to pursue her, she should give him a chance.

If Qi Lin knew what Xiao Wu was thinking right now, he could probably only sigh inwardly.

Love-Brain Continent was truly terrifying!

Setting that aside, after that little interlude, Xiao Wu remembered that she wanted to become the boss.

She immediately proposed a fight with Qi Lin. If she won, Qi Lin would have to call her Sister Xiao Wu from then on.

Qi Lin naturally refused. He was only willing to play rock-paper-scissors with Xiao Wu, three rounds in total.

As long as Xiao Wu could win even one round, he would call her Sister Xiao Wu from then on.

Seeing that this gave her a huge advantage, Xiao Wu promptly agreed.

The result...

They played thirty rounds in a row, and Xiao Wu did not win a single one.

In the end, Xiao Wu could only call him Brother Qi Lin with utter unwillingness.

She had no choice. She had already cheated by insisting on twenty-seven extra rounds, yet she truly could not win even once!

However, Xiao Wu was deeply interested in the secret behind Qi Lin's constant victories and kept pestering him about it.

She wanted to know whether there was some trick to it. She refused to believe it was merely luck, as Qi Lin claimed.

She was a smart rabbit. How could she possibly be fooled by Qi Lin so easily?

That night, Xu Qian prepared an empty room for Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu insisted on sleeping with Qi Lin.

She was extremely determined, so no matter how Xu Qian coaxed her, she refused to change her mind.

In the end, Xu Qian thought it over. They were both children anyway, so it was fine for Xiao Wu and Qi Lin to share a room.

Having made up her mind, Xu Qian instructed Qi Tian to move another small bed into Qi Lin's room.

The following days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the martial soul awakening.

Everyone in the village had gathered early in front of the building where martial souls were awakened.

Originally, the Spirit Hall used for martial soul awakenings had merely been a slightly larger room. Later, after Qi Lin's family became prosperous, they tore it down and rebuilt it into a grander, more magnificent Stone Hall.

After all, they couldn't let Qi Lin's home look more imposing and refined than the village's Spirit Hall.

To Qi Tian and Xu Qian, that would have been disrespectful to Spirit Hall.

After all, as the holy land of soul masters, Spirit Hall tirelessly awakened the martial souls of commoners every year. Calling it a blessing for commoners would not have been an exaggeration.

Qi Tian and Xu Qian stood together with Qi Lin, Xiao Wu, and Kro, the chief of Radish Village, at the front of the group of children.

There were fifteen children who met the age requirement today, and nearly every child had a parent accompanying them.

Since the Spirit Hall soul master had not yet arrived, everyone was exchanging pleasantries.

Among the crowd, Qi Tian was undoubtedly the most pleased with life.

Not only had he married a beautiful wife, but he also had a precious son.

The men in the village both envied and resented him.

Before long, a tall, upright figure suddenly approached from the distance.

When the figure drew close, everyone froze slightly.

The newcomer was not Spirit Hall's Master Sisi!

When Qi Tian saw the man, a strange look flashed across his face before he turned his gaze toward his son beside him.

Noticing his father's gaze, Qi Lin spread his hands.

Then he curiously examined the newcomer.

The man was tall and handsome, dressed in a fitted white outfit with a black cloak draped over his back.

Seeing this, Kro, the chief of Radish Village, immediately went forward and said respectfully, "Honored Battle Spirit Master, we'll be relying on you."

Su Yuntao smiled faintly and nodded.

He then came before the crowd and announced in a clear voice, "My name is Su Yuntao. I am the Spirit Hall Patrol Deacon responsible for the martial soul awakening in Radish Village this time."

As he spoke, he pushed open the doors of Spirit Hall and stood at the entrance.

"Children, follow me into the hall. Do not make any noise."

Kro added, "Children, listen to Master Su Yuntao."

The children all responded in agreement and followed Su Yuntao inside.

Everyone else waited outside the hall.
