Venomous Hidden Weapons

"Huh? What did you say?!"

Ye Qiu paused, not hearing clearly, and leaned closer to ask again.

Seeing Ye Qiu lean in, Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat. Her face flushed red, remembering how he'd teased her when he was like this. She put down the carrot, swallowed the sweet taste in her mouth, and her voice was clear and pleasant, "Sister Xiao Wu asked, 'Will you kick me away?'"

"Uh, haha." Ye Qiu was taken aback, then chuckled again. He hadn't expected Xiao Wu to ask him such a question. He immediately became interested, propping up half his face, a hint of playfulness flashing in his dark eyes.

"Don't worry about that. I won't kick you away now. Maybe later when you're a bit older. After all, you've made me miss out on so much rabbit meat. Just do as you said earlier, compensate me with yourself, let me 'eat' you."

After speaking, Ye Qiu smacked his lips, looking at Xiao Wu with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Having experienced Ye Qiu's improper thoughts about her growing up multiple times, Xiao Wu clearly understood the meaning of the word 'eat' in Ye Qiu's words. Her heart suddenly pounded faster, she bit her silver teeth, her eyelids turning red with shame, and she shouted, "You, you're not allowed to think bad things!"

"Alright, I'll try not to. But will you still compensate me with yourself?"

Ye Qiu nodded with a light laugh. He was still a child, and thinking about such things was indeed not conducive to his growth.

Looking at her delicate features, her light brown hair strands swaying at the corner of her eyes. A playful smile appeared on his face again, and he reached out to pinch her soft cheek.

"Ah, you!"

Just as he was about to touch her, Xiao Wu cried out and dodged, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Don't even think about it! You just said you didn't like that."

Ye Qiu smiled slightly, sizing up Xiao Wu for a moment. He crossed his index finger and thumb to form a frame, looking at Xiao Wu within the frame, and said with a faint smile, "I never said I didn't like it. Of course, if you don't grow up to be pretty later, then I won't want you anymore."

"What?! But you already..." Xiao Wu's expression changed, a hint of panic appearing on her face. She stopped herself mid-sentence and looked at Ye Qiu with a wronged expression.

He had already kissed her, and she had kissed him too. In Ye Qiu's words, it was already sealed, so how could he say this?

Xiao Wu blinked her eyes, sniffled, and quickly called out, "Sister Xiao Wu will definitely be prettier when she grows up!"

Xiao Wu's red-rimmed eyes were filled with watery crimson, looking delicate and alluring, which greatly improved Ye Qiu's mood.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Let's save these words for when you haven't grown into an ugly duckling," Ye Qiu waved his hand, knowing when to stop. Anyway, he was just joking. He believed that when Xiao Wu grew up, both her face and figure would surely be excellent.

Ye Qiu reached into his embrace and pulled out a few lollipops, placing them on the table. "Here, you can make do with these for lunch. I'll go return the lunchbox to Grandpa Jack and tell him not to prepare rabbit meat tonight."

"Ye Qiu, where are you taking these bunnies?"

Looking at the lollipops on the table and then seeing Ye Qiu packing up the rabbit meat, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.

Ye Qiu replied, "We can't waste them. I'm taking them back to Grandpa Jack. Just pretend you didn't see them."

"Oh~"

Xiao Wu compromised and nodded.

After speaking, Ye Qiu no longer paid attention to her and walked outside. Seeing the drying rack outside, he didn't forget to remind Xiao Wu, "By the way, the drying rack you put outside, you should bring it in when it's almost done. Don't let it crack from the sun."

"Did you hear me?!"

"Sister Xiao Wu heard you!"

Hearing a clear shout, Ye Qiu then carried his things and headed towards Old Jack's house.

Xiao Wu looked at the candy on the table, and thinking back to their conversation, her face became extremely hot.

It was all Ye Qiu's fault!

He always said such improper things.

Xiao Wu reached out her small hand to touch her little face, then looked down at her small body, suddenly becoming anxious. What if she didn't grow up as pretty as Ye Qiu imagined?

"Ah~ How could Sister Xiao Wu grow up to be ugly!"

At this time, some villagers were already starting to head to the fields to work. Along the way, just the greetings made Ye Qiu's throat dry.

However, it also gave him a sense of returning home in glory. After all, the profession of Soul Master was indeed very respected in the eyes of these villagers.

Time flew by.

As the sun began to set.

The villagers working in the fields also picked up their hoes and headed home.

On a small hill, where Tang San often practiced.

Three figures stood there at this moment.

Perhaps it was because Tang San had just lost his father and felt lonely, he had taken the initiative to find Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu, inviting them to walk and talk together.

Ye Qiu didn't refuse him. After all, who knew if Tang San wanted another older brother? He took Xiao Wu and followed along.

On the hillside, Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu's wrists now had a Silent Sleeve Arrow each. This was Tang San's gift after showing off a little.

Ye Qiu didn't quite agree with the idea of "recognizing him as a brother," but he also understood that Tang San didn't want to be looked down upon for nothing.

Ye Qiu stood in the middle, looking at the sunset in the sky, a sunny smile on his face, looking very approachable.

Xiao Wu stood beside him, looking at Ye Qiu's profile. Though still childish, the confidence on his face was highlighted and illuminated by the setting sun.

Tang San also quietly watched Ye Qiu.

Over the past year, he had come to understand that Ye Qiu's talent was immense, surpassing his own. Although he had wasted some time on theory and hidden weapons, Ye Qiu's talent was undeniable.

He also had some understanding of Ye Qiu's temperament. He usually didn't care much about anything and could mingle with a group of children, without any deep thoughts.

He just had a bit of a mischievous streak from time to time.

And seemed a little lecherous?! But he was still quite thrifty, not leaving a grain of rice in his bowl.

Ye Qiu stretched out his arms and yawned, then turned to look at Tang San. "Little San, it's getting late. Let's call it a day. We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then." Tang San smiled slightly. He was very satisfied with the look of shock on Ye Qiu's face when he saw his hidden weapons.

People admire strength, especially in the Soul Master world, this phenomenon is even more pronounced! He was confident that he could make Ye Qiu admire him, and eventually submit to him!

It was a pity that Tang San didn't know that Ye Qiu was a great actor, and those shocks were fake.

"Little San, goodbye!" Xiao Wu waved to Tang San. When she turned back, Ye Qiu had already walked some distance away. Xiao Wu stomped her foot and had to trot to catch up with Ye Qiu.

"Ye, Ye Qiu, you're too fast. Wait for Xiao Wu sister!"

"Run faster yourself!"

Ye Qiu didn't slow down because of Xiao Wu's calls.

He had to let Xiao Wu know that sometimes, no matter how fast he moved forward, he wouldn't stop just because she yelled at him not to.

Watching the backs of the two as they left, and listening to their bickering, Tang San couldn't help but smile wryly. It seemed only Ye Qiu could handle Xiao Wu. However, the sight of Xiao Wu clinging to Ye Qiu as she chased after him made the smile on Tang San's face freeze unconsciously.

After going to Old Jack's house to pick up dinner and confirming there was no rabbit meat, Xiao Wu visibly relaxed. Carrying the food in one hand and linking her arm with Ye Qiu's in the other, they walked along the road, looking like a young couple.

Looking at the hand holding the food, Xiao Wu curiously asked Ye Qiu, " Ye Qiu, where did Tang San's thing called a sleeve arrow come from?"

"I'll tell you later." Ye Qiu glanced at her and said indifferently, his steps not slowing at all, but his forearm within his sleeve had already undergone Martial Soul Avatar.

Hidden weapons also had gaps. As long as there was a gap, Venom could flow in. Ye Qiu could easily figure out its structure.

Ye Qiu had long known Tang San's intentions, but Ye Qiu's appetite couldn't be satisfied by a mere Silent Sleeve Arrow.

Moreover, with Xiao Wu around, especially since her identity was already known to Tang Hao, unless their father and son were willing to give up their hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, their relationship was destined to end badly.

Not to mention that he had secretly joined Martial Soul Hall.

"Oh~" Xiao Wu nodded dejectedly and stopped talking, tightly gripping Ye Qiu's sleeve and following closely beside Ye Qiu.

Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
