Cute Xiao Wu

In Nuoding City, Feng Hao teleported directly and precisely into the courtyard of his home.

As long as it was a place he had been before, he could pinpoint it accurately.

The last time he went to Heaven Dou City, it had been his first visit, so he could only teleport outside the city.

The next time he went, he would be able to teleport directly into Qian Renxue's residence.

In the courtyard,

when Feng Hao appeared,

Xiao Wu was sitting on the doorstep, her chin resting in both hands as she stared blankly ahead.

The instant she saw Feng Hao, she was dazed for a moment.

She thought she was hallucinating.

The next second,

she instantly rushed into Feng Hao's arms.

She leaped onto him, wrapping both arms around his neck and both legs around his waist.

Feng Hao had long since grown used to this of hers.

He even suspected that her surname might be Doma.

"Brother Feng Hao, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Xiao Wu's nose stung, and her eyes immediately misted over.

At the academy, in front of everyone else, Xiao Wu was the big sister.

But before Feng Hao, she would always be a fragile little girl.

Seeing her tearful expression, Feng Hao reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"My Xiao Wu is so adorable. How could I possibly not want you? Stop crying, or you'll turn into a little tabby cat."

"Brother Feng Hao, I'm hungry."

"You haven't eaten today?"

"Mm! I didn't want to go alone."

"Then let's go now!"

Although Feng Hao did not feel like eating at the moment, how could he let his little treasure go hungry?

Xiao Wu had spent the longest time with him in this world, and he was the only person she relied on.

Naturally, he should spoil her when she needed spoiling.

"Brother Feng Hao, I want you to carry me on your back," Xiao Wu said coquettishly.

During the days Feng Hao had been gone, she had felt terribly unaccustomed to it.

She was used to having Feng Hao accompany her every day when she ate, and having someone to hold when she slept.

For the past few days, she had been hoping for Feng Hao's return every day.

Now that he had finally returned, she naturally had to act spoiled to her heart's content.

"Alright!"

Feng Hao agreed without hesitation.

He first had Xiao Wu get down, then crouched.

Xiao Wu immediately jumped onto his back and let him carry her.

Feng Hao carried Xiao Wu out of the courtyard and headed toward a nearby restaurant they often visited.

Quite a few people stared at Xiao Wu along the way.

After all, she was no longer that young. Being carried on someone's back like this naturally drew attention.

But Xiao Wu did not care about their stares at all. She happily leaned against Feng Hao's broad, comfortable shoulder, feeling utterly at ease.

Just as they were about to reach the restaurant, Feng Hao happened to run into two people.

Tang San and Master.

The instant Tang San saw Feng Hao approaching with Xiao Wu on his back, he awkwardly stepped forward.

He bowed to Feng Hao and said, "Teacher, where are you and Xiao Wu going?"

"We're going to eat. Want to come along?" Feng Hao asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher, but I ate not long ago," Tang San hurriedly declined.

"And you and Master? Where are you going, and where did you come from?" Feng Hao still wore a smiling expression, yet Tang San felt immense pressure.

He hurriedly explained, "I went outside to train and happened to run into Master buying things outside. We both live at the academy, so we came back together."

Tang San had the mentality of an adult, so even when lying, his face did not redden and his heart did not race.

"That's right."

Yu Xiaogang also stepped forward to echo him.

"I see. Train well. We'll be leaving first."

Feng Hao had no desire to waste words with them and leave his treasure hungry.

"Mm! Take care, Teacher!" Tang San said with a bow.

Feng Hao then carried Xiao Wu away. After he had gone far enough, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang exchanged glances.

Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang curiously, "Master, Feng Hao and Xiao Wu's sibling relationship... doesn't it feel a little strange?"

They said that onlookers saw things more clearly. In the original story, Tang San himself had been involved, so naturally he had not understood.

Now that he was merely an observer, he could naturally tell that Xiao Wu's feelings for Feng Hao were not simply a younger sister's dependence on her older brother.

"They definitely aren't biological siblings. As for their relationship, there's no need to think about it. Don't let these matters affect your cultivation. Cultivate well. When you graduate from Nuoding Academy, explain your relationship with Feng Hao, and I'll take you somewhere more suitable for your cultivation," Yu Xiaogang said solemnly.

"Yes, Master," Tang San replied respectfully.

Looking at Tang San, Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, I hope that four years from now, you'll be able to call me Teacher.

He was certain that Tang San would become a legendary figure on the continent in the future. Only by becoming Tang San's teacher could he make the world believe in his theories.

Only then could he truly become famous throughout the land.

Inside the restaurant.

While they were waiting, Xiao Wu said, "Brother Feng Hao, Tang San must have gone to train with that Master. I've often seen them together these past few days."

"I know. They can't accomplish anything," Feng Hao said with a sneer.

Since he had come here, Tang San could no longer be as formidable in this life as he had been originally.

And Feng Hao's strength was not something the original Tang San could compare to.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were nothing more than two tools he had kept around to farm missions.

"Brother Feng Hao, where did you go these past few days?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Heaven Dou City," Feng Hao said.

"Heaven Dou City? That far away? How did you do it, Brother Feng Hao?" she asked in shock.

"When there's a chance, I'll let you experience it," Feng Hao said with a smile.

"Alright!" Xiao Wu said expectantly.

They did not wait long before the waiter brought over their food.

The two of them were regular customers. The waiter handed over the dishes with a smile and said, "Young Master Feng, you don't know this, but during the days you were gone, Miss Xiao Wu barely ate anything. Every time she came, she only ate a little before leaving. Miss Xiao Wu looks much happier today than before."

"Mm." Feng Hao could only casually agree. Hearing the waiter say it so directly made him feel rather awkward.

Moreover, he felt deeply guilty toward Xiao Wu.

He should not have stayed over there for so long. He should have returned sooner.

After all, if he wanted to go there now, it only took an instant.

Xiao Wu was still young, after all. Leaving her here alone was not a good idea.

With Feng Hao there today, Xiao Wu's appetite greatly increased.

When they left, the waiter saw the several clean, empty plates and smiled in relief instead.

After all, who would not like such an adorable little girl as Xiao Wu?

Who would not hope that a little girl like her could be happy every day?

For some people weary from work, simply seeing a smile from someone adorable could make them feel healed.

Ever since Feng Hao returned, aside from spending time cultivating on his own every day, he also guided Xiao Wu.

From time to time, he would visit markets that sold various ores to see if he could find anything good.

He also occasionally went to Qian Renxue's place.

He would go once every ten days or half a month, stay there for only a day, then return.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, four years went by.

On this day, it was also the day of Nuoding Academy's graduation ceremony.
