A Very, Very Bad Person

"This is a Tom family heirloom. She was born into a Spirit Master family, but after both her parents never returned, the family declined. Something that should have been passed to the head of the family ended up in Tom's hands."

"Did I tell you to speak?"

Before Grandpa Jerry could finish, the old woman beside him grew displeased and shot him a glare.

"None of that matters. What matters is that this belongs to you from now on!"

"To me?" Ye Qiu pointed at himself in surprise.

"Yes, to you! The two of us have no descendants. If we keep it, it'll only be buried with us, so we're giving it to you."

"Isn't this too precious?"

"What use is something precious if no one can use it?" Grandma Tom's eyes held a trace of uncertainty. "Can't you Spirit Masters just live peacefully? I'm tired. You should go! Old man, see him out!"

"Uh..." Ye Qiu sat there dumbly, watching her enter the inner courtyard.

"Kid Ye Qiu, take it and go!" Grandpa Jerry stuffed the item into Ye Qiu's hands and escorted him to the door.

Behind him, Grandma Tom's aged voice drifted over. "That little girl is very good. She cried very sadly."

Click!

Looking at the closed gate before him, how could Ye Qiu not be moved? He also felt a little melancholy over Grandma Tom's plight. He understood what she meant.

He stored the item in the Divine Might Space, went to a clothing store, draped himself in a black cloak, and headed toward Nuoding Academy.

Near Nuoding Academy, purple appeared in Ye Qiu's pupils as he scanned the entire academy. His eyes stung slightly, and his face was a little flushed, but one thing was certain: Tang Hao was not nearby. Perhaps he had gone drinking again.

A Six-pointed Star appeared in his eyes. Kamui activated, and Ye Qiu's body slowly sank into the ground.

In the deserted Dormitory Seven, Xiao Wu was the only one there. Ever since Ye Qiu had left, she had not gone to class.

At that moment, she was bent over the desk, fiddling with the Bamboo Dragonfly in her hands. "As long as I fix it, Xiao Qiu will come back, right?"

Ye Qiu's illusory body slowly emerged from the wall behind her as he looked at her somewhat thinner back.

He slowly spoke. "Xiao Wu~"

Yet she did not react at all. "Am I hearing things again?"

"Xiao Wu. I'm back!" Ye Qiu moved a little closer and called out again.

Clack! The Bamboo Dragonfly in her hand fell onto the desk. Before she even turned around, mist had already filled her eyes.

Ye Qiu stepped closer again and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm back."

"Xiao Qiu!" She stood and turned around. Once she saw his face clearly, she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself against his chest. "Xiao Qiu, you're finally back... sob..."

"It's all my fault. I broke the Bamboo Dragonfly you gave me again. I... I didn't do it on purpose." As she spoke, she began choking up as though she had committed some terrible mistake. Before Ye Qiu could even hold her tightly, she ran away again.

He looked at her strangely and saw her quickly pull out a rectangular box from beside the bed. Like she was presenting a treasure, she offered it to Ye Qiu.

"Xiao Qiu, look! This is the Zhuge Crossbow Tang San gave me. Can I give it to you?" With tears streaking her face, she pouted miserably, looking utterly wronged. "Don't leave me behind again, okay? Xiao Wu will listen to everything you say. Xiao Wu will help you get whatever you want."

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu finally understood that he did not seem to hate lovestruck girls that much. At the very least, when it came to his own girl, he had double standards.

"Mm, I know. I understand." He pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back. "How could I abandon you over such a little thing?"

It took quite a while of comforting before her sobs finally stopped.

"Relax. Don't resist." To prevent Tang Hao from suddenly returning, Ye Qiu wanted to bring her into the Divine Might Space with him.

"Mm." Hearing him, Xiao Wu quietly leaned against his chest without moving. Ye Qiu's disappearance for three days had truly frightened her.

A vortex appeared, and the two vanished from the spot. The Bamboo Dragonfly on the desk vanished with them. Dormitory Seven became silent once more.

Inside the Divine Might Space, endless broad stone platforms stretched all around them.

Xiao Wu raised her head from Ye Qiu's chest and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. "Xiao Qiu, where is this?"

"This is the separate space that comes with my First Spirit Ability!" He carefully wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"A separate space?"

"Mm, look!" Releasing Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu stepped back several paces. A Six-pointed Star appeared in his eyes, and a purple Spirit Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

"A thousand-year Spirit Ring!" Xiao Wu covered her mouth, hardly able to believe it. She eagerly pounced on him. "Xiao Qiu, you're amazing!"

"Mm... and you're getting prettier too." When their gazes met, his words took on a different flavor, his voice soft and weak.

Her crimson eyes seemed to fill with wisps of pink mist. She rubbed against Ye Qiu like a pet, her pretty face flushed red.

This time, she went even further. She wrapped her legs around him and even began lightly biting his face.

What a sin! He was still just a child!

It seems this improper ability of the Sharingan has grown stronger again! While Ye Qiu was lost in thought, Xiao Wu's hands had already begun tugging at his clothes.

He hurriedly withdrew his Martial Soul. "Huh? A lingering effect?"

Xiao Wu seemed to have already become immersed in it. Left with no choice, Ye Qiu lightly knocked her on the head.

"Ow~" Their eyes met, and Xiao Wu's face burned even redder. Before stopping, she secretly took another little bite.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. The earlier part could not be blamed on her, but that last bite was definitely the Hooligan Rabbit showing her true colors. "Put your legs down too."

"Mm~" She answered guiltily, hugged him, and slowly lowered them, but her body still clung to Ye Qiu.

"?" Ye Qiu looked at her in confusion.

"I used too much strength just now. I... my legs are a little weak."

"?" Ye Qiu was speechless again. Was his Sharingan really that powerful?

Activating Kamui, he switched to another stone platform, one with tables and chairs.

He placed her on a stool. Her favorite Carrots had already been prepared on the table.

"Rest for a while, and eat something too. I'll fix this little thing!"

"Mm-hm!" The little rabbit nodded obediently.

As she nibbled on a Carrot, she watched Ye Qiu beside her. Carrots were not what she loved most.

Ye Qiu wiped his face. It was covered in quite a bit of saliva, so he wiped it away with his sleeve.

"Hehe." Xiao Wu giggled foolishly beside him.

Ignoring her, Ye Qiu continued repairing the item in his hands. This time, he intended to add some thin iron wire for Entangle.

"Xiao Qiu~ Did you run into some danger? Your Black Silk is covered in blood." Xiao Wu lay on the table, facing him.

"Mm, I met a very, very bad person. He wanted to kill me!"

"Kill you?! Who was it? Xiao Qiu, tell me! I'll help you get revenge!" Hearing that someone wanted to kill him, Xiao Wu immediately sprang up.

He looked at her and remained silent for a long time.

"Xiao Qiu~ What's wrong?" She raised her head curiously.

Ye Qiu put down the item in his hands. He planned to make things clearer. "He was a Title Douluo!"

"Buzz, buzz~" Ye Qiu's casual words made Xiao Wu's head buzz.

Her little face, which had been smiling moments ago, instantly stiffened unnaturally. Her complexion turned slightly pale as she murmured to herself, "A Title Douluo..."
