Don't Ignore Me

Though he could not memorize and copy everything after seeing it only once, learning a little of it would do. The techniques of borrowing force and stacking force could also increase his combat strength.

It was worth mentioning that Ye Qiu had secretly watched Tang San all night yesterday.

In the dead of night, accompanied by Xiao Wu calling out Da Ming and Er Ming in her sleep, Tang San meditated and cultivated alone, completely unaware that Ye Qiu had seen the entire circulation path of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Even the Purple Demon Eyes Tang San cultivated in the morning could not escape Ye Qiu's Sharingan!

As long as I see it a few more times, I can complete the Purple Demon Eyes and Mysterious Heaven Skill. Ye Qiu clenched his fists. Both of these were extremely useful to him.

The Purple Demon Eyes could increase Spiritual Power and help him train his eyes, allowing the Sharingan to evolve into Three Tomoe sooner.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill could increase his Soul Power cultivation speed. On Douluo Continent, where there were hardly any cultivation methods, this was truly one of a kind.

Only after Tang San had finished showing off did Ye Qiu speak up and leave.

"Tang San, since you've found a job you like, I'll be leaving first."

"Mm. Be careful."

After waving goodbye to Tang San, a walking treasure trove, Ye Qiu found a carving shop and became an apprentice.

It was somewhat related to carpentry, after all. Carving objects required intense concentration, which could also help improve Spiritual Power.

Afterward, he made another trip to the market to buy some Carrots. The rabbit had given him all her money, so he could not let her go without even one meal of her favorite food.

By the time Ye Qiu returned to Dormitory Seven, Tang San had long since come back.

At that moment, Wang Sheng and the others were gathered around Xiao Wu. Tang San seemed to be comforting her.

"What happened?" Ye Qiu asked in confusion.

"At noon today, someone ruined the things in Sister Xiao Wu's bag. She's been crying for ages." There was a bruise at the corner of Wang Sheng's mouth.

It seemed those Noble Students had bullied them again.

Xiao Wu hugged her little bag to her chest and looked at Ye Qiu, who stood nearby, with teary eyes.

Ye Qiu looked back at her, glanced at the small bag in her arms, and did not pay her much attention. After setting down his bundle, he turned to leave again.

"Ye Qiu, you're closest to Xiao Wu. Aren't you going to comfort her?" Tang San called after him.

"You guys comfort her. There's still something I need to do at the job I just found."

Click! With that, he left Dormitory Seven.

"Ye..." Tang San opened his mouth, wanting to stop Ye Qiu from leaving, but the words never came out.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu lowered her head again. Her formerly upright rabbit ears drooped listlessly, and large teardrops rolled down onto the quilt printed with Little White Rabbits.

At the sight of her pitiful, rain-soaked pear blossom appearance, Tang San felt as though he had suffered a devastating blow. He comforted her softly.

"Xiao Wu, stop crying. I'll get revenge for you!"

Despite having lived two lives, Tang San had never experienced anything like this. He even took out the carrots Master had told him to prepare for Three-Eyed Blaster.

"Look, I bought you your favorite Carrots!"

"White radishes are the worst! All of you, get out!" Xiao Wu shouted, immediately pulling the quilt over herself. Her muffled voice came from beneath it. "Let me be alone, sob sob~"

The people around her exchanged looks and shook their heads.

"Ye Qiu is going too far!" Wang Sheng complained indignantly. "Sister Xiao Wu has always taken the best care of him, and this is how he acts when something happens?"

"Alright, let's go to class. Xiao Wu should be fine by the time we get back." For some reason, Tang San felt a little secretly pleased.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he spoke to Xiao Wu again. "Xiao Wu, I'll leave these carrots here. If you get hungry—"

"Get out!" Xiao Wu shouted angrily, cutting him off.

Wang Sheng covered his face beside him. Oh, Third Brother, she just said white radishes tasted awful. Did you forget that already?

He dragged the embarrassed Tang San away, and everyone went to class together.

Dormitory Seven became completely empty, with only one little rabbit crying alone beneath her quilt.

The sobbing continued for a long time, and the more Xiao Wu thought about it, the sadder she became.

"Ye Qiu! I hate you!"

"Really?"

"Really!" Xiao Wu shouted loudly from beneath the quilt, then suddenly realized something was wrong. Even the quilt that had been trembling went still.

Ye Qiu's voice had suddenly sounded, catching her completely off guard.

"Why did you come back? I don't want to talk to you!"

Ignoring Xiao Wu's words, Ye Qiu sat down by her bed. "Are you planning to talk to me like this?"

"Hmph!"

In response to Xiao Wu's cold snort, Ye Qiu lightly patted the quilt covering her. "I went out to get some tools just now. Don't you want to fix the comb your mother left you?"

Ye Qiu quietly waited for Xiao Wu's reply.

"Really?"

"Really! I even bought you some Carrots you like when I came back."

Crunch! Ye Qiu took a Carrot from the bag and bit into it himself. "If you don't come out now, I'll finish it."

"How dare you!" Xiao Wu emerged from beneath the quilt with a tearful voice, grabbed Ye Qiu by the collar, and glared at him fiercely.

"I'm already crying like this, and you still want to make me mad..."

Looking at Xiao Wu through the Black Silk Ribbon, Ye Qiu found it a little hard to bear. Her eyes were red and swollen, two tear tracks ran down her cheeks, and she looked utterly haggard.

He slowly reached out and rested his hand on her pretty face, his thumb gently brushing the corner of her eye. "Hehe. Sister Xiao Wu has cried her little face all messy."

Her pink rabbit ears swayed wildly atop her head, and Ye Qiu suddenly felt that Xiao Wu's face was a little hot to the touch.

Xiao Wu grabbed Ye Qiu's hand and looked at him seriously. "I'll never call you Xiao Qiu again. Don't ignore me, okay?"

"What are you thinking? It's just a form of address. I'm not that petty."

"Then... then why did you suddenly stop wanting to talk to me?" Thinking of those things, she felt wronged all over again, and tears threatened to fall from the corners of her eyes.

"When did I ever ignore you? Didn't I come back to comfort you?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow. There were some things he did not intend to tell her yet.

"Really?"

"Really. I even thought of buying you Carrots while I was out!"

"That's good! Xiao Qiu~"

She wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck and leaned against his shoulder. Ye Qiu gently hugged her too, patting her back.

"Alright, take it out. I'll fix it for you. Here, there are Carrots too."

Letting go of Xiao Wu, he placed the bag of Carrots in front of her.

"Give me that one."

"?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.

"Y-you don't eat it anyway. You only took one bite, so... so don't waste it." Xiao Wu explained haltingly.

Ye Qiu did not want to dwell on such a trivial matter, so he handed over the Carrot he had bitten.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, fiddling with the comb in his hands. Xiao Wu leaned against his shoulder, quietly nibbling on the Carrot as she watched Ye Qiu, feeling that the Carrot in her mouth was especially sweet.

After a long while,

Ye Qiu finally repaired her comb. He had even thoughtfully placed a Little White Rabbit over the cracked spot.

"It's fixed. See if you're satisfied."

"Mm-hmm, it's wonderful. It looks even better than before." Xiao Wu nodded rapidly.

He handed her the comb. "Here. I'll return these tools first, then."

"Wait! There's one more thing that needs fixing."

"What is it?" Ye Qiu asked in confusion. Wasn't there only a comb inside?

"T-there's this too! The Bamboo Dragonfly you made for me." Her crimson eyes looked at him resolutely, neither avoiding nor retreating.

Ye Qiu froze. "I'll make you another one later."

"It's not the same. I want this one!"

"Alright." Unable to win against this rabbit, Ye Qiu could only give in. Luckily, only the rod underneath had broken, or it would have been difficult to repair.
