Do you want me to take out my heart?

"No, no!"

"Don't look, go away, go away! Xiao Wu doesn't want your candy anymore!"

Without any warning.

Xiao Wu's voice, choked with sobs, echoed in Ye Qiu's ears, tinged with resentment, pleading, and fear.

"Hey! Dead rabbit, calm down!"

Ye Qiu quickly called out to remind and soothe her.

But at this moment, how could Xiao Wu listen to a human Soul Master?

Outside, Xiao Wu, clad in a black tight leather suit, began to tremble all over, and the two white patches on her eyes started to show black cracks.

Xiao Wu raised her small hands, constantly tearing at the black, viscous leather suit. She was not only physically resisting Ye Qiu, but also mentally refusing.

The connection of their minds merging had already been severed.

"Ah--!"

"You, hurry up and go away, go away!"

Xiao Wu screamed, her tear-streaked face reappearing, peeking out.

Like a person sinking in a swamp, she continuously tried to break free, but the blackness on her body kept creeping up her pretty face, trying to stop her rash actions.

"Calm down, you calm down."

Ye Qiu, listening to Xiao Wu shouting at the top of her lungs, kept trying to soothe her.

But Xiao Wu's mind was a blank slate at this moment, only wanting to escape, escape from Ye Qiu, escape from this place!

Ye Qiu couldn't help but start to feel anxious.

He said in a deep, angry roar:

"Shut up!"

"Stupid rabbit, do you want to attract others too? Do you know your identity?!"

"Ah!"

Xiao Wu let out a terrified cry.

Then she forcefully suppressed it, holding back her tears as she stifled the cry.

"Hoo~"

Ye Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

To avoid further stimulating the little rabbit, Ye Qiu attached himself to Xiao Wu's clothes.

Xiao Wu could also feel her strength draining away, it was Ye Qiu's Soul Power. At this moment, she had no time to care about these things.

Tears streaming down her face, she crouched down, holding her head, trembling non-stop.

Poof!

Black fluid gathered on Xiao Wu's shoulder, Venom's head emerged, floating beside Xiao Wu. Ye Qiu did not reveal a human face, only using Venom's appearance and retracting his large tongue a bit.

Although the initial possession was not completely successful, he understood his Martial Soul's abilities much better and felt a little happy about it.

Looking at Xiao Wu, who was squatting on the ground with her head buried and silent, he leaned close to her ear and asked with concern, "Little rabbit, are you okay?"

"No. Don't say it."

Xiao Wu, still with her head down, shook her head repeatedly, suppressing her sobs, her voice hoarse.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to say something else, a faint dripping sound suddenly echoed in the alley.

Drip.

A crystal tear from Hotaru dripped onto the ground.

Ye Qiu sighed helplessly. He had already scared her this much even before he was a Soul Master.

Forget it, he wouldn't tell her about Tang Hao for now.

Otherwise, if she really tried to run away, he would truly be finished.

Although it was difficult to kill him when he transformed into Venom.

But after all, the other party was a Titled Douluo!

And he, transformed into Venom, was not truly non-human.

This "difficult to kill" was insignificant in the face of an absolute realm gap.

They could simply imprison him and let him starve to death.

"No, don't say it..."

While Ye Qiu was deep in thought.

Xiao Wu was still muttering the word "no," her body trembling as she slowly raised her head. Her face was streaked with tears, her eyes wide with panic. She hugged her small body with both arms.

Looking at Ye Qiu, she bit her red lips, exuding an air of utter vulnerability.

Even though the other party only poked their head out, she didn't feel scared. These were insignificant in the face of death.

She could only beg Ye Qiu: "Please don't tell anyone, okay? Xiao Wu sister. I'll do anything you say! Please don't tell anyone, okay? I'm begging you."

Xiao Wu tightly clutched her now black clothes, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

Ye Qiu in Venom state made his expression unreadable.

He hadn't planned on telling anyone anyway. How could he not feel a shred of pity for such a cute, naive little rabbit?

"You'll really do anything I say?"

Ye Qiu's hoarse voice, in Venom state, sounded like a demon to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's face instantly turned pale. She pursed her red lips, gritted her teeth, and nodded heavily.

"Good!"

Ye Qiu replied and said seriously:

"Then let's do it again! This time, you're not allowed to refuse me!"

Xiao Wu blinked her tear-filled, shimmering eyes, hesitant. After a moment of thought, she slowly nodded.

Her biggest secret had already been revealed to Ye Qiu. What was one more time?

Seeing tentacles suddenly emerge from her clothes, Xiao Wu's voice was weak and choked, barely audible.

"What are you doing~?"

"Of course, I'm helping you wipe your snot. Don't want it getting on me."

Ye Qiu smiled. The tentacles suddenly bloomed and transformed into human hands, holding a cloth Ye Qiu had used to wrap candy. He gently wiped Xiao Wu's face, the corners of her eyes, and her philtrum.

He then playfully pinched her tear-reddened little nose, leaving a hint of sweetness, before tucking the cloth into Xiao Wu's collar.

Looking at the cloth tucked into her collar, Xiao Wu's pale face flushed slightly. She pursed her lips, not saying anything more, though a few more tears welled up in her eyes.

The brief moment of emotion from before vanished, and she only felt Ye Qiu was teasing her.

"Alright, are you ready?"

Ye Qiu's hoarse voice, not exactly gentle, was enough to bring Xiao Wu back to her senses.

"Mm."

Xiao Wu nodded slightly, closing her eyes as if resigned, two streams of tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Why was she feeling wronged again? Wasn't he just trying to comfort her? After all, it was so inappropriate to discuss this topic in public.

If they merged, their minds would be connected, and they could say anything they wanted, or even understand each other just by thinking!

"I'm coming."

Ye Qiu didn't overthink it. He reminded Xiao Wu and immediately began to touch Xiao Wu's fair, supple body again, even penetrating beneath her skin.

Fibrous black threads slowly climbed onto Xiao Wu's cheeks.

Xiao Wu squeezed out two more "pearls" from the corners of her eyes, clenching her fists tightly. She endured the heart-wrenching process of memories linking, feeling as if someone was violating her memories, her soul being toyed with by Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu's memories also flowed uncontrollably into Xiao Wu, but the information was limited, only memories after the Martial Soul awakening.

The two people's memories slowly linked together.

Xiao Wu, who had been clenching her fists, suddenly froze and tilted her head.

Her eyes flickered, and a sense of surprise suddenly bloomed in her heart.

Ye Qiu's memories poured into her, and along with them came Ye Qiu's truest thoughts:

He wouldn't expose her identity, nor would he harm her!

Under Ye Qiu's sincere, heartfelt, and unreserved honesty, she, who had been sobbing moments before, suddenly looked dazed.

"Ye Qiu, you really won't say anything?"

"Do I need to take out my heart and show it to you to prove what I'm thinking?"

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu, sensing no pretense in Ye Qiu's heart, her pretty face instantly regained some brightness.

"Ye Qiu, thank you!"

Ye Qiu was, in a sense, residing within Xiao Wu's consciousness at this moment. He could feel her genuine gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

"Cooperate with me properly, I'll test the power."

Ye Qiu replied indifferently.

"Mm!"

Xiao Wu nodded, composing herself, and began to try on her new black leather suit with streaks of pink.

Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
