The next moment.
Xiao Wu saw all of Ye Qiu's memories from after he left Notting City.
She saw him braving the elements, staying at a Spirit Hall Branch, nearly getting trampled to death by a Soul Beast, and nearly getting crushed to death. She saw the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, saw him nearly getting thrown to death by Dugu Bo, saw him fall into Dugu Yan's room, and saw him leap into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to refine Celestial Herbs.
Heartache, worry, grievance, and fear surged through her one after another.
Ye Qiu's fiancée really did exist.
That Dugu Yan seemed to be better than her in every way. Her grandfather was a Titled Douluo, her cultivation was stronger, she was quite beautiful, and her figure was exactly the type Ye Qiu had always liked. She was more mature than Xiao Wu, and more clingy.
When Xiao Wu saw Ye Qiu wrapping his arms around Dugu Yan, saw Dugu Yan transform her lower body into a snake's tail and coil it around him, and then saw them being so intimate and inseparable afterward—
Xiao Wu felt a pang in her heart.
It was as if someone had stolen something that belonged to her.
Dugu Yan had put on the poison suit, which meant she must know about Xiao Wu's existence, too.
Even though she knew Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu had grown up together and been inseparable since childhood, and had even shared a bed and exchanged tokens of affection long ago, Dugu Yan still wanted to steal Ye Qiu from her.
She was nothing but a shameless thief!
And she even let Ye Qiu do whatever he wanted to her, squeezing and kneading her any way he pleased. What was so impressive about that? They were just a pair of lumpy flesh-balls!
Sister Xiao Wu would have those someday, too!
The same went for Ye Qiu.
He also saw the memories Xiao Wu had made over the past two months.
Xiao Wu's life had been quite routine. She often wandered around the village, played with the children, practiced cultivation, and even helped repair the Wooden Hut. She also helped Old Jack out in the fields.
As for Tang San, she avoided him whenever she could.
Even so, a strange look appeared on Ye Qiu's face after he finished watching the memories.
Xiao Wu didn't go looking for Tang San, but Tang San kept showing up at her door from time to time. That guy had even wanted to make Xiao Wu his little sister?! And he'd pulled out a Godly Zhuge Crossbow?! What the hell was he planning? Was this kid trying to steal Ye Qiu's girl?!
Did he think Ye Qiu wouldn't steal his mother?! Then he'd pull out his big present and give little Ah Yin a proper visit!
Seeing Ye Qiu's expression change, Xiao Wu hurriedly explained.
"Ye Qiu, I didn't get close to him."
"Mm, I know."
Ye Qiu rubbed his brow and looked at the nervous little rabbit. He smiled and pinched her cheek.
"I saw everything. How could I not know whether you got close to him? Don't worry, Sister Yan doesn't know your true identity."
"Mm!"
Xiao Wu gave a small nod and looked at Ye Qiu guiltily. He'd surely heard her cursing Dugu Yan in her thoughts just now. But she hadn't been wrong. Dugu Yan was a thief, using her Titled Douluo grandfather as her backing and even signing some kind of marriage contract.
"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Ye Qiu kneaded Xiao Wu's cheek. She wasn't as full-figured as Dugu Yan, but her cheeks were soft, too. After pinching them a couple of times, he found he couldn't bear to let go.
Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn't upset with her for insulting his fiancée, Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief. Then she scrunched up her tiny, adorable face, sniffed, and asked sadly, "Ye Qiu... You already have a fiancée. What's going to happen to me?"
"We'll share!"
Ye Qiu grabbed Xiao Wu's soft hand again, utterly shameless.
"Sh-share?!" Xiao Wu froze, her whole face turning red. She hesitated. "How can you do that?"
"Yeah, how can I? Because I'm not a good person, of course. I'm selfish and self-serving, and I like bullying you." Ye Qiu smiled. He meant it, and didn't think he was doing anything unforgivable. He wasn't a saint, much less some paragon of virtue. He was just a person—not particularly good, but not particularly bad, either.
"No, I... I think you're a good person." Xiao Wu quickly retorted, her face full of earnestness. "You're not selfish or self-serving at all. I've never thought that."
No one understood better than Xiao Wu how tempting a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone were to a Soul Master. Yet Ye Qiu had never once considered hurting her.
If Ye Qiu had wanted her nine Soul Skills, then when she'd gone with him to buy a quilt, he wouldn't have been completely unaware of what his first Soul Skill could do. He simply hadn't wanted to hurt her.
No matter what, in Xiao Wu's eyes, a human Soul Master like him couldn't be called selfish or self-serving. He could be a little bad, but that was only because he wanted a bit of fun in his dull cultivation life. Even when rabbit meat had been right at his fingertips several times, he'd looked out for her and thrown it away.
Xiao Wu had never thought Ye Qiu was a bad person.
She'd already been prepared for Ye Qiu's womanizing. When they went shopping and cultivated together, she'd seen all the different kinds of women he thought about.
She didn't want to leave Ye Qiu.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to thank you for the compliment?" Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing. He hadn't expected this silly rabbit to defend him over something like this. He gently pinched her cheek.
Xiao Wu shook her head and looked at Ye Qiu bashfully. She'd also received all the memories of what Ye Qiu had done with Dugu Yan. They were things she'd never experienced before—enough to make her blush and her mind short-circuit. She'd clearly been there first, but Dugu Yan had gotten the first taste.
The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the redder and angrier her face grew. She let out a soft cry. "If I agree, will you bully me the way you bullied her? Could you bully me a little more? I was the one who came first."
"Huh?"
Ye Qiu's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the silly rabbit in surprise. Was she always this shameless?
As if she'd seen what he was thinking, Xiao Wu immediately scolded him. "I'm not the Rogue Rabbit! Y-you are! And that stinky snake is even worse. She actually... actually bit you. Hmph!"
Looking at Xiao Wu's flushed face, Ye Qiu wore an awkward expression. It hadn't been entirely his idea, after all—though he had, admittedly, gotten a handful of groping in.
At the same time, Ye Qiu was very happy. From the way Xiao Wu had said it, she didn't seem entirely opposed to sharing him with someone else.
"Alright, alright. Don't be upset. We can talk about bullying you later. First, look at the gift I brought you."
"A gift?"
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu in confusion.
Aside from the Celestial Herbs Ye Qiu had taken, which she'd seen clearly, everything else had been blurry.
Ye Qiu had done that on purpose.
Otherwise, if Xiao Wu already knew everything, how could he give her the gift or create a surprise?
"Exactly. A gift."
Ye Qiu smiled, then took Xiao Wu's hand again and laced their fingers together. Information about the Lovesick Heartbreak Red flowed into Xiao Wu's mind.
