Talking Past Each Other, Xiao Wu Finally Gets Her Way

Night!

Xiao Wu lay sprawled on the soft bed in a pair of pink shorts, her slender legs swinging up and down, her smooth, round little feet pointed toward the ceiling.

She propped up her head with one hand and tilted it as she watched Qi Lin lying quietly beside her, seemingly lost in thought. Her large eyes sparkled.

"Brother Qi Lin, what are you thinking about? Why don't you seem very happy even though you awakened Innate Full Soul Power?"

"That little brat Qi Yue only awakened half a rank, but he was overjoyed."

Xiao Wu's voice pulled Qi Lin out of his daze. He turned to her and asked reflexively, "Huh? Xiao Wu, were you talking to me just now?"

"I didn't catch that. Could you say it again?"

The moment he said that, Xiao Wu stopped swinging her legs and sprang up from the bed. With her hands on her hips, she looked down at Qi Lin from above.

Her dainty nose wrinkled slightly, and her cheeks puffed up in displeasure.

After a moment, she said in a huffy, slightly spoiled voice, "Brother Qi Lin, I'm angry!"

Qi Lin chuckled when he saw this.

He knew that if Xiao Wu were truly angry, she would not just act like this.

Without hesitation, Qi Lin slowly held up one finger.

What he meant was one carrot.

When Xiao Wu saw it, she froze for a moment. Then she thought it over with her clever little head and immediately brightened up.

She could finally sleep in the same bed as Brother Qi Lin.

For some reason, whenever Xiao Wu got close to Qi Lin, she wanted to press herself against him. It was as if there was something about him that she could not help wanting to be close to.

Over the past few days, Xiao Wu had insisted every day on sleeping while hugging Qi Lin, but he had never agreed.

He had finally come around today!

But one night was far too little!

So Xiao Wu made a gesture.

I want to sleep for ten days!

When Qi Lin saw it, he thought this little girl was asking for ten carrots?

Though he could certainly produce ten carrots, if he gave in this time, wouldn't this little rabbit become more and more demanding once she grew up?

No, he could not spoil her.

So Qi Lin continued gesturing.

Only one carrot!

Xiao Wu adorably furrowed her brows. Brother Qi Lin is too stingy. He won't even agree to ten days.

With no other choice, she made another gesture.

One day was too little. She wanted eight days!

One carrot!

Five days!

One carrot!

Three days!

In the end...

Xiao Wu said sulkily, "One day it is, then!"

With that, Xiao Wu leaped from her own bed onto Qi Lin's with a thump, hugged him, and lay down.

"Hey... hey, Xiao Wu, what are you doing?!"

Xiao Wu became even more upset when she heard that. Pouting, she said, "You agreed to let me hug you while we sleep for one day. Are you trying to go back on your word? Xiao Wu won't allow it."

As she spoke, she hugged him even tighter.

Qi Lin was completely dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, hug me while sleeping for a day? I said one carrot."

"Go back to your own bed. You're a girl—this doesn't look good."

Xiao Wu shook her little head like a rattle drum.

"No, no! Who told you not to make yourself clear? Besides, I'm not going to be fobbed off with one carrot."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu tightened her hold around Qi Lin even more.

And it had to be said, after awakening Innate Full Soul Power, Xiao Wu was genuinely quite strong. She held Qi Lin in a death grip.

Qi Lin was nearly being squeezed breathless, so he could only pat Xiao Wu's slender waist and tell her to settle down.

"Fine, fine. You can hug me while you sleep for a day, all right?"

As he spoke, Qi Lin put his mind to work and thought it over.

Xiao Wu was essentially a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so she should count as a legal loli. It seemed he did not need to fear her like a tiger.

With that thought, Qi Lin immediately let it go and generously declared it.

Fine, hug me if you want!

"Hehehe!"

Xiao Wu let out a lovestruck laugh and even wrinkled her little nose to sniff him. Only then did she ask her earlier question again.

Qi Lin raised his brows after hearing it, then scratched his head and said, "You're asking why I don't look very happy?"

"Probably because I already knew the result would be like this!"

Xiao Wu pouted. "How is that possible? How could you know you had Innate Full Soul Power before being tested?"

It's not like you're a soul beast that took human form.

Xiao Wu kept that sentence to herself.

"See? I told you that you wouldn't believe me!" Qi Lin said indifferently.

Seeing that Qi Lin still would not tell the "truth," Xiao Wu muttered softly, "So stingy."

Before long, Qi Lin was still awake, but Xiao Wu had fallen asleep first.

Qi Lin looked at Xiao Wu's plump little pink face and unconsciously reached out to pinch it.

She resembled the anime version from his previous life, but she was even cuter, and her cheeks felt wonderful to pinch.

After pinching them twice, Qi Lin withdrew his hand and turned off the room's light.

The room instantly fell into darkness. Qi Lin did not fall asleep right away, instead involuntarily thinking of his spirit, the Mutated Blue Silver Grass.

Its appearance was identical to the Four-Leaf Clover from his previous life, except it was blue.

Qi Lin had always been interested in new things, so naturally his own spirit was no exception.

Though he had been rather laid-back before, after transmigrating to Douluo Continent, he had not been without curiosity about what kind of spirit he would awaken.

His father had the Sickle spirit, while his mother had the Blue Silver Grass spirit.

Both were Wasted Spirits, and neither possessed Innate Soul Power.

According to the rules of Douluo Continent, his spirit would either be a sickle or Blue Silver Grass, and there was a high chance that he would have no Innate Soul Power.

Unless his spirit mutated, and it had to be a beneficial mutation.

Naturally, the odds of that were extremely low.

Yet Qi Lin had never worried about himself.

Because based on his own experience, his spirit would definitely undergo a beneficial mutation, and his Innate Soul Power would not be low either.

And the result...

Had indeed been exactly as expected!

Just as he had thought.

But now that he had both a spirit and Innate Soul Power, it was time to seriously consider what soul beast he should hunt for his first soul ring.

He could not possibly just wait in the village for a suitable soul beast to deliver itself to his door, could he?

Uh...

Qi Lin thought it over carefully and suddenly felt that, with his luck, it might actually happen.

No, no!

Qi Lin hurriedly shook his head. He was laid-back, not a complete slacker!

Casting aside the idea of sitting at home and waiting for a soul beast to deliver itself, Qi Lin decided to take action himself and pick out the perfect soul ring.

It was all about enjoying life and participating in the experience.

Thus, three days later!

Two familiar figures appeared in Qi Lin's home.

One was Su Yuntao, who had awakened the spirits of Radish Village's children three days earlier.

The other was a tall, curvaceous young woman dressed in the standard white uniform of Spirit Hall.

She was Su Yuntao's girlfriend, Sisi!

Sisi waved at Qi Lin and said with a smile, "Little Qi Lin, we meet again. Did you miss your big sister?"

"Sister Sisi is so beautiful. Of course I missed you."

"Hehe, you little rascal, your mouth is still as sweet as ever."

After speaking, Sisi looked at Xiao Wu, who stood beside Qi Lin looking charming and adorable.

"This little friend must be Xiao Wu. I heard Yuntao mention you. You really are adorable!"

Xiao Wu blinked her lashes and said playfully, "I've heard Brother Qi Lin mention Sister Sisi too."

"Oh? He didn't say anything bad about me, did he?" Sisi asked deliberately.

"Of course not. Brother Qi Lin said Sister Sisi is a very nice person, and that I would definitely like you too."

Xiao Wu lightly lifted her chin. She was not making it up—Brother Qi Lin really had said that.

"Little Qi Lin, it seems I haven't doted on you for nothing."

The curve of Sisi's smile widened as she placed the large pile of gifts she had brought in Qi Lin's living room.

Ever since getting to know little Qi Lin, things had gone very well for her over the past few years.

Not only had her rank gradually caught up to Su Yuntao's, but she had even made a few small fortunes.

Because she knew of Qi Lin's deeds in Radish Village, she attributed her good luck to him and grew increasingly fond of him.

Qi Lin had long grown used to Sisi bringing gifts to his home. Instead, Qi Tian and Xu Qian stepped forward and mildly reproached her.

"You came all this way, so why bring so many things with you?"
