Recognizing Xiao Wu as His Little Sister

After the two of them horsed around for a while, they were finally tired out.

Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly said, "How about you recognize me as your big sister from now on? That way, we'll both have another family member!"

"Recognize you as my big sister? No way! You should recognize me as your big brother. I'm seven this year and was born in January, so I'm definitely older than you!" Jerry directly declared that he had been born in January, cutting off all of Xiao Wu's escape routes.

In truth, he had been born in July. Counting from Xiao Wu's Humanoid Transformation, she was actually older than Jerry. But in order to be the big brother, he had to say he was born in January. Xiao Wu wouldn't know anyway, and by the time she found out, she would probably already be used to calling him Brother.

[I'm a hundred thousand years old!] Xiao Wu grumbled inwardly, but she couldn't say it. Her little face flushed red with anger.

Seeing Xiao Wu hold back words she couldn't say, glaring at him with her big eyes in frustration, Jerry felt secretly delighted.

"What would you do if a lot of people wanted to kill me someday?" Xiao Wu asked.

"They'd have to step over my corpse first!" Jerry answered firmly.

"Brother!" Xiao Wu called out emotionally, but when she thought of how slowly Jerry cultivated, she felt a little sad.

Having a brother all of a sudden was pretty nice too.

Then after graduation, she would live and cultivate with Brother in Holy Soul Village. She would wait until she entered the mature stage before leaving. Later, she could seek revenge on her own and avoid dragging Brother into it.

With that thought, Xiao Wu felt much better. She had always been optimistic and cheerful, and once she figured it out, she was fine.

"Good, good, good. My good little sister—I have a little sister now." Jerry stepped forward and hugged Xiao Wu.

"I'm going to tell Grandpa now." With that, he pulled Xiao Wu along to find Grandpa.

Old Jack was delighted too. He had gained a talented, pretty, and adorable little granddaughter. When she grew up, she might even become Jerry's wife. How could he not be happy?

When he learned that Xiao Wu's Martial Soul was a rabbit and that she liked carrots, he immediately made a whole carrot feast. Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled as she looked at it!

She hadn't chosen the wrong brother or grandpa. That was what the full and satisfied Xiao Wu thought.

Over the next few days, Jerry took Xiao Wu all around the village, causing everyone to learn that after a year away at school, Jerry had brought back a little wife.

"Jerry, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Xiao Wu said angrily.

"Call me Brother. You're not allowed to call me by name anymore!" Jerry said seriously.

"You deliberately made everyone misunderstand!"

"How did I? People can say whatever they like. I can't control their mouths."

"Then why didn't you explain it?"

"Don't you know? Explaining is just covering up!"

"I don't care! You have to make it clear that I'm your little sister!"

"Relax, relax. They're just talking and joking around. After a while, they'll forget."

"What if they don't?"

"If they don't, then I'll marry you when we grow up, little wife! Hahaha!" Jerry ran off after saying that.

"Jerry!" Xiao Wu shouted, then ran after him.

Jerry had not eaten meat for a long time at the academy and was craving it, so he took Xiao Wu and invited Little San to go fishing. He had originally wanted to hunt rabbits, but Xiao Wu wouldn't allow it.

"Little San, Xiao Wu, you two just need to clean the fish. I'll do all the fishing myself!" Jerry said confidently.

"Can you even do it?" Xiao Wu asked.

"A man can't say he can't. He has to be able to!" Jerry said.

Then Jerry began pulling in fish, one cast after another.

"Brother, stop fishing! There are too many!"

"One last cast, one last cast!"

"Xiao Wu, don't bother trying to persuade him. I've been trying for years, and it's never worked! Let him fish. I think he wants to catch all the fish he didn't catch during that year at the academy," Tang San said. He had long since gotten used to it.

"How are we supposed to eat so many fish?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Pan-fried, stir-fried, stewed, deep-fried, steamed, braised, fish balls, fish noodles—there are plenty of ways to eat them! If we can't finish them, we'll give them to the villagers. No need to worry about waste!" Jerry said.

"So many ways? Really?" Listening to Jerry, Xiao Wu swallowed.

"Jerry's such a foodie. At first, as long as it was edible, that was enough for him. Later, he got picky and came up with all these methods. He even had me make a whole pile of cooking utensils! Still, some of those dishes really are delicious!" Tang San had not eaten them for a year, and he missed them too.

"Of course. Can you really settle when it comes to food?" Jerry said.

At dinner, Jerry naturally had to show off his cooking skills.

One fish was braised, one was sweet and sour, one was pan-fried, one was grilled, and he also made fish soup. The staples were fish balls and fish noodles.

Everyone praised the meal. Mainly because there were so few people—otherwise, Jerry would have wanted to make even more dishes, like spicy fish chunks, poached fish slices, smoked fish, and so on.

Because Xiao Wu had spent the past year eating the carrots produced by Jerry's Martial Soul, she cultivated very quickly and had already reached level 15. Since Tang San had absorbed a 230-year Soul Ring, he had not reached level 13 as he had in the Original Work. After breaking through, he had only been level 11, and after cultivating for a year, he was now level 14, one level below Xiao Wu.

As for Master, after Tang San reminded him, he had taken in twenty students with level-one Innate Soul Power over the past year.

He had taught them diligently, but even with the resources Master provided, the highest Soul Power among them was only level three!

Jerry had once gone to Master, hoping to get some resources, but when Master learned that Jerry's Innate Soul Power was only half a level, he directly refused.

Master knew how difficult it was to cultivate with half-level Innate Soul Power, so he told Jerry, "Give up cultivating and live as an ordinary person. Sometimes, that's not so bad either!"

It was exactly as expected. Jerry had long guessed that Master would not help him, so he did not hold much resentment.

He saw that Master was now taking things seriously and teaching earnestly. He saw that Tang San's First Soul Skill was hundreds of times stronger than before!

All of a sudden, he wondered whether changing the plot had been the right choice. Everyone else was getting better and better, while he still had nothing!

Jerry wanted to find more cultivation materials. Looking at his level-one Soul Power, Spirit Hall definitely would not accept him now. The Three Great Sects would not want him either, and neither would the empire want a commoner with such poor talent! A wave of helplessness washed over him.

Forget it. There was no use thinking about it now. He still had Xiao Wu as his little sister, and he still had Grandpa. He was well-fed and warmly clothed, far better off than in his previous life. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

He would wait until his Soul Power improved before finding a way. Then he could make a late blooming comeback!

Thinking this, his heart suddenly opened up. His state of mind improved greatly, and his Spiritual Power rose as well. The world became clearer in Jerry's eyes, and he could even sense things within a range of one or two meters around him.

So this was a breakthrough in one's state of mind. In his previous life, he had read in novels that cultivation was about cultivating the heart, and that only breakthroughs in one's state of mind allowed one to cultivate to higher levels. He had never understood it, but now he finally did.

So he quickly sat down to meditate. Sure enough, his Cultivation Speed improved a little. Perhaps he would not need eighteen years to reach level ten after all!
