Soul Sect, will you help me wash my body?

"Eat it, eat it?!"

Hearing Ye Qiu's command, Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, clearly unwilling.

"Yeah, if you don't eat this thing, are you going to save it for New Year's?" Ye Qiu frowned, giving Xiao Wu an exasperated look.

"But, but I want to..."

Xiao Wu was conflicted.

Looking at the red flower in her hands, she felt a pang of reluctance. This flower held a special meaning, representing her unwavering loyalty to Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu's trust and affection for her.

"Silly rabbit."

Seeing Xiao Wu still hesitating, Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile. He cupped her tender cheeks with both hands, bringing Xiao Wu to look at him. He asked softly, "With me by your side, why are you still staring at the flower? Do you prefer this flower to accompany you, or me?"

"Of, of course it's you. Mmph!"

Xiao Wu's voice was hurried. In her heart, Ye Qiu was naturally the most important.

"Then that settles it!"

Before Xiao Wu could finish speaking, Ye Qiu slowly leaned down and captured her delicate red lips, savoring the taste. Soft hums and low moans from Xiao Wu occasionally reached his ears.

"Hmph~"

Feeling Ye Qiu's lips pressing against hers, Xiao Wu's heart raced. Her long eyelashes fluttered, sending waves of misty glances his way. Mimicking him, she slowly and awkwardly began to respond.

After a long while.

Only when Xiao Wu could no longer breathe properly and her body swayed unsteadily did Ye Qiu finally release her.

Xiao Wu was dazed, leaning into Ye Qiu's embrace. This was the longest Ye Qiu had ever teased her. A blush spread across her delicate face, her beautiful eyes hazy as if she were slightly drunk. Even though Ye Qiu had stopped, her soft, pink lips continued to part and close, glistening with dew, revealing a tender, cute rabbit tongue, moist and alluring.

Ye Qiu pinched Xiao Wu's chin, making her look at him. He smacked his lips and said softly, "Now can you be a good girl and eat it?"

"I, I can. I'll listen to you."

Xiao Wu's face was flushed like a peach blossom, her voice soft, delicate, and a little dazed as she responded. She buried her face in Ye Qiu's chest, a look of infatuation on her face.

"Then hurry up." Ye Qiu chuckled and released her from his embrace.

Xiao Wu stumbled, nearly falling, but Ye Qiu caught her, and she once again leaned against his chest.

"Ye Qiu~ I, I need to rest for a bit." Xiao Wu's face was flushed, her steps light and a bit unsteady, as if drunk. Having never kissed for so long, she was somewhat out of breath.

"Alright then."

Ye Qiu nodded slightly, not teasing her. After all, he had only achieved such skill after exploring with another novice, Dugu Yan, for a long time and many times.

Looking at the somewhat endearingly clumsy rabbit, he couldn't help but nibble on her slightly chubby cheeks a couple more times. Then, he helped her tidy her disheveled clothes. It was a bad habit he had developed from cuddling with the fully developed Dugu Yan, always wanting to grab something.

Fifteen minutes later.

Under Ye Qiu's gaze, Xiao Wu sat down cross-legged. Holding the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hands, she glanced at Ye Qiu with a blush before resolutely putting the red flower into her mouth.

As if sentient, the immortal herb suddenly transformed into a stream of red light and entered Xiao Wu's slightly parted lips.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly closed her eyes.

Ye Qiu stood beside her, once again using his Insight Eye to scan the surroundings.

Only then did he seriously observe the changes in Xiao Wu's body.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red was the king of flowers.

Consuming this herb bestowed the power of immortality, at least increasing Soul Power by ten levels, and would comprehensively remodel the body. It even had the effect of resurrecting the dead and healing bone-deep injuries. More importantly, it could help Soul Beast shapeshifters conceal their aura.

This ability, with Tang Hao currently aware of it, was not of much use. But once he died and took this secret to hell with him, things would be different!

Under Ye Qiu's watchful eyes.

Xiao Wu was like a pink flower bud, with the petals of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red blooming around her. Crimson light pulsed on her skin, and the flow of her blood was visible. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red was remodeling Xiao Wu's physical body, helping her advance towards humanity.

Purple Demon Eyes!

A dazzling light flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes. Even with his Purple Demon Eyes in the Mustard Seed Realm, he couldn't see Xiao Wu's true form clearly.

Time passed.

An immortal herb that recognized its master was indeed different. In just over half an hour, Xiao Wu had completely refined the Lovesick Heartbreak.

Her pink rabbit ears perked up, a white-to-pink tail appeared at the base of her back, and she even gained a Soul Ring beneath her. With two yellow and two purple rings, she had become a Soul Ancestor! In terms of cultivation, she had surpassed Ye Qiu in one fell swoop.

Xiao Wu opened her eyes.

A seductive crimson hue bloomed in her pupils, like miniature Lovesick Heartbreak Red. As the light faded, the surrounding flowers closed and disappeared into Xiao Wu's body.

Seeing the somewhat bewildered Xiao Wu, a flicker of astonishment crossed Ye Qiu's eyes. He squatted down and gently lifted Xiao Wu's fair, smooth chin.

"Silly rabbit, snap out of it."

Xiao Wu blinked. Upon seeing the figure before her, her beautiful face flushed. Her eyes filled with excitement, and she lunged straight towards Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu!"

"Holy crap."

Ye Qiu was knocked to the ground by Xiao Wu's sudden embrace.

"Ye Qiu~"

Xiao Wu pinned Ye Qiu to the ground, her delicate hands pressing lightly on his chest. Her gaze, filled with affection, met his flushed eyes as she softly called his name, locking gazes.

"What are you doing? Get up already!"

Ye Qiu, feeling a slight ache in the back of his head, looked helplessly at the little rabbit who was pressing down on him without any further action.

"Oh! I, I'll get up now." Xiao Wu scrambled, intending to rise but hesitated. Blushing, she quickly pecked Ye Qiu on the lips. Like a little girl who'd stolen candy, a smile bloomed on her lips as she gently helped Ye Qiu up.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and rubbed the back of his head.

"Ye Qiu, I didn't mean to." Seeing Ye Qiu rubbing his head, Xiao Wu realized what had happened. She had indeed heard a distinct thud earlier. She quickly reached out, taking over Ye Qiu's task, and gently massaged his head.

Her face was full of concern and a desire to please.

Ye Qiu smiled and grasped Xiao Wu's small hand.

"It's fine, I'm not hurt. Let's head back to the Seventh Dorm first, and we can talk about it slowly."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, perfectly playing the role of the devoted wife.

Between the teaching buildings, before classes began.

A young man and woman walked out together. The young man had bright eyes and a handsome face, while the young woman's eyes were like crescent moons. Her delicate hands tightly held the young man's, and she would occasionally flash him a radiant smile.

"Silly rabbit, still smiling? I just took a bath, and now I'm dirty again." Ye Qiu shot Xiao Wu a playful glare. They had been lying on the ground for quite a while earlier.

"It doesn't matter, Ye Qiu, I'll wash all your clothes clean for you." Xiao Wu hugged Ye Qiu's arm, a hint of apology in her sincere expression, but the smile on her face was irrepressible.

After all, Ye Qiu had just complimented her, saying she had become prettier.

"Is that so?" Ye Qiu couldn't help but chuckle. He turned his head and leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear, teasing, "Then what about my body? Will you wash that clean for me too?"

"Ah?!" Xiao Wu's face turned bright red. She looked at Ye Qiu, her expression conflicted.

Thinking about how Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan had already gone so far, almost completely "through the pass," Xiao Wu stiffened her neck, suppressing her shyness, and stammered, "I, I can do it!"

Wishing you all a happy life!
