Sending Xiao Wu to School

After hearing Feng Hao's explanation, Xiao Wu fell silent for a long time.

Because Feng Hao had specifically mentioned rabbits eating grass, she found it easy to put herself in their place.

Feng Hao had also said that those soul beasts had attacked him first, and that was why he had killed them. Her fear of Feng Hao completely vanished.

The place where they emerged was in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire.

In the original story, Xiao Wu had gone to Nuoding City and become a Work-Study Student at Nuoding Academy.

So it was only natural that they had emerged near Nuoding City. Feng Hao did not find it strange.

After entering the city, Feng Hao and Xiao Wu sold the soul beast bones.

After selling them, Feng Hao first changed into a new outfit.

Clothes made the man. Feng Hao had always been handsome, but his living conditions had been too poor before for it to fully show.

Now, dressed in new clothes and carrying himself with confidence, he drew countless girls to turn their heads and look at him along the way.

Afterward, he took Xiao Wu to a nearby restaurant and treated themselves to a hearty meal.

Once they were done, Feng Hao prepared to buy a small courtyard house here.

He had sold those thousand-year soul beast bones and was now undeniably wealthy.

In a remote place like Nuoding City, buying a small courtyard house was easy.

The reason he wanted to buy one was because he did not want Xiao Wu to become a Work-Study Student.

He did not want Xiao Wu going to Nuoding Academy and sleeping in the same room as Tang San, even though he knew nothing had happened between them over those six years.

However, those six years had deepened their feelings for each other.

He bought a small courtyard not far from Nuoding Academy. As he led Xiao Wu inside and looked over the furnishings, Feng Hao was quite satisfied.

Turning to Xiao Wu, he said, "Xiao Wu, pick whichever room you like."

"Emmm?"

Xiao Wu propped a finger beneath her chin, looking from left to right, then from right to left.

At last, she looked at Feng Hao and said, "Brother Feng Hao, I'm a little scared by myself. Can I share a room with you?"

She blinked her large, watery eyes at Feng Hao. Looking at those eyes, how could Feng Hao bear to refuse?

"Sure." Feng Hao nodded.

He would not have any improper thoughts toward Xiao Wu now. After all, he was not an animal.

People matured faster in this world.

But no matter what, they would only start maturing around the age of twelve or thirteen.

Feng Hao was twelve now, roughly equivalent to sixteen or seventeen in his previous life.

"Yay!"

Xiao Wu jumped excitedly, then rushed off to pick a bedroom.

Whichever room she chose would be the one where they rested.

Watching Xiao Wu's happy appearance, Feng Hao murmured, "This is the Xiao Wu I wanted to see. There will be no more Xiao Wu sacrificing herself and weeping her eyes out."

If not for the fact that there were too many Titled Douluo in Heaven Dou City, he would have wanted to take Xiao Wu there, regardless of the plot.

Since he could not go there, and had ended up here instead, he decided to follow the original main storyline. That way, he understood things better and the situation would not spiral out of control.

That night, Xiao Wu said to Feng Hao, "Brother Feng Hao, I want to study at an academy. Is that okay?"

She had learned about studying at academies when they went to sell the soul beast bones that day.

Having come to the human world, she was now cultivating entirely as a human. Naturally, she wanted to learn about human cultivation methods.

"Ding! The Xiao Wu Enrollment Event has been triggered!"

"Option one: Send Xiao Wu to Nuoding Academy as a Work-Study Student. Reward: cultivation technique, 'Qi Gathering Art.'"

"Option two: Send Xiao Wu to study at Nuoding Academy and pay for her schooling. Reward: 'Sun Scripture.'"

"Option three: Send Xiao Wu to another academy. Reward: three levels of Soul Power."

After reading the rewards that rang out in his mind, Feng Hao chose the second option without hesitation.

It was not that he looked down on the "Qi Gathering Art."

Rather, no matter how good the reward was, he had no intention of choosing that option.

As for the third option, three levels of Soul Power would indeed offer a short-term boost, but in the long run, it was still inferior to the first two.

He said to Xiao Wu, "If you want to study, then go ahead. I'll take you to register at Nuoding Academy tomorrow."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Feng Hao," Xiao Wu said happily.

She moved close and lightly pecked Feng Hao on the cheek.

There was not the slightest hint of desire in it.

However, Feng Hao said to Xiao Wu with a very serious expression, "Xiao Wu, when you kiss someone, no matter where it is, you can only kiss someone you like. You mustn't casually kiss other people."

"Don't worry, Brother Feng Hao. Other than you, I won't kiss anyone," she said with a grin.

Her family had all left her. The only person she could trust now was Feng Hao.

"Mm. Get some good rest tonight. I'll take you to the academy tomorrow." Feng Hao nodded in satisfaction.

The next day, Nuoding Academy.

When Feng Hao and Xiao Wu arrived at Nuoding Academy, the gatekeeper fiercely blocked their path and said, "Who are you? You don't look like people from the academy."

"We're here to register," Feng Hao said coldly.

He deeply disliked people like this, who looked down on others.

"Register? Do you have certification from Spirit Hall?" the gatekeeper asked coldly.

"Is that necessary?"

A cluster of Sun True Fire appeared in Feng Hao's hand, shining before the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper felt scorching heat all over his body, and sweat poured down his face.

He felt that as long as Feng Hao came even slightly closer, his entire body would burst into flames.

"Lord Soul Master, please withdraw your hand. I'll open the gates and let you in right away," the gatekeeper said fearfully.

At the side, Xiao Wu looked at Feng Hao with admiration. She could sense how terrifying his flames were.

This power was too strong. She felt it was the strongest flame in the world.

"Take us to the registration office," Feng Hao ordered.

"Yes!" The gatekeeper did not dare refuse and immediately led the way.

"Let's go." Feng Hao withdrew the flames and held out his hand to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu reached out and took his large hand, following him into the academy.

Under the gatekeeper's guidance, they soon arrived at the registration office.

The gatekeeper said to the teacher handling registration, "Teacher Wang, they're here to register."

"Two of them?"

Teacher Wang looked to be in his thirties. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Feng Hao.

That was because Feng Hao was already too old to study here.

"I brought my younger sister here to register," Feng Hao explained.

"Oh! Do you have certification from Spirit Hall?" Teacher Wang asked.

"No." Feng Hao shook his head.

"Then what is her martial soul? What level is her Soul Power?"

"My martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit. I'm a level thirteen, one-ring Battle Spirit Master," Xiao Wu introduced herself.

"A level thirteen Battle Spirit Master?"

Teacher Wang was startled. He stood up and hurriedly asked Xiao Wu to release her Soul Power.

Xiao Wu did not hesitate. She directly released her Soul Power and displayed her first soul ring as well.

A yellow hundred-year soul ring!

After seeing the soul ring and her Soul Power, Teacher Wang did not even need to verify her martial soul. He directly said to Xiao Wu, "Good. I'll register you right away. Will you be staying in the dormitory, or..."

"We won't be staying in the dormitory. We live near the academy," Feng Hao said with a smile.

"Alright! I'll give you a form shortly. Once you pay the fees, you can attend classes here," Teacher Wang said politely.

The contract was being sent today. It should be changed over in two or three days, and there will be more updates after that. But exactly how many will depend on how strong everyone's recommendation votes are! Writing is not easy, and recommendation votes are free too. Please help this poor author! |ω`)
