Bibi Dong marveled.
When used for attacking, the umbrella was no less sharp or sturdy than a sword.
"Hoo, hoo~"
Su Wen panted heavily. After attacking for a period of time and looking at Bibi Dong, who still wore a relaxed expression, layers of hot sweat seeped out on his cheeks.
The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curled up slightly, carrying a hint of mockery: "If this is all you've got, you've disappointed me too much."
Su Wen remained silent, attacking blindly until his soul power was completely drained. Only then did Bibi Dong reveal a trace of satisfaction and let him off.
"That's all for today; come back tomorrow. Your soul power is depleted, so you need a good night's rest. Nana, you need to hurry up and cultivate to level ten." Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, a hint of vengeful pleasure hidden in their depths: "Xiao Wen, remember to write me a three-hundred-word post-battle reflection."
Su Wen was slightly breathless and was stunned upon hearing Bibi Dong's words.
Why did he have to write an essay?
When he looked up, Bibi Dong had already walked out of the courtyard.
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
Hu Liena trotted forward, her little face filled with a mix of excitement and worry.
"I'm fine, just had my soul power drained by Teacher."
Su Wen rested his hand on Hu Liena's small shoulder, using her body to alleviate his fatigue.
"Swish!"
Bibi Dong, who had just left, reappeared in the courtyard.
She had almost forgotten that the body would experience collapse after soul power was depleted.
She needed to input a bit of soul power so that Su Wen could recover his body quickly.
Sensing that both the senior brother and junior sister were in the room.
Bibi Dong was about to enter when she heard muttering from inside, followed by a sudden silence.
She hesitated for a moment, then scanned the room with her spiritual power.
The scene inside left her speechless.
Su Wen was fast asleep on the bed, while Hu Liena was hunched over the table, writing furiously, her little face occasionally showing an expression of deep thought.
"This brat, he really knows how to boss Nana around!"
Chapter 17: Potential of a Vixen?
The next morning, Su Wen felt full of energy and stretched comfortably.
Turning his head, he saw Hu Liena slumped over the table, fast asleep, her finger unintentionally held in her mouth, sucking on it from time to time, with a small trail of drool leaking from the corner of her mouth.
"Wu, senior brother!"
Hearing footsteps, Hu Liena opened her eyes groggily.
Seeing her senior brother so close, her eyes were dazed, but she quickly realized her situation.
Su Wen reached out and pinched her tender cheeks: "Why didn't you go back?"
"Senior brother, Nana just fell asleep while writing!"
Hu Liena rubbed her eyes, and upon reaching the end of her sentence, she seemed to react.
She turned around in a hurry.
She picked up the booklet on the table.
Seeing that the content was already finished, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But when she saw the drool stains on it, her cheeks flushed with shyness.
"Senior brother, Nana finished it!"
Hu Liena wiped it with her sleeve and handed it over.
"Nana did well. Come, senior brother will reward you!"
Su Wen took a casual look; one copy was what Bibi Dong had asked for yesterday, and the other was the fifty times he had requested himself.
He tucked the items away and took Hu Liena outside to wash up.
"A reward?"
Hu Liena's eyes brightened, and she trotted along behind him.
After a simple wash.
Su Wen took her hand and headed toward the Elder Hall.
Since arriving at the Martial Soul Hall, the furthest place Hu Liena had been was her senior brother's neighboring courtyard; she had never walked around anywhere else. Along the way, her eyes were filled with curiosity for all the new things.
The two passed by Elder Ju's courtyard and picked a few flowers along the way.
"Aunt Ye!"
Su Wen stepped into Ye Yuan'er's courtyard and called out toward the inside.
"Xiao Wen!"
Ye Yuan'er walked out of the house and, seeing the timid-looking Hu Liena standing nearby, asked in surprise:
"Xiao Wen, she must be the Pope's disciple, right?"
"Yes, this is my junior sister, Hu Liena, her Spirit is the Demon Fox!" Su Wen took the opportunity to pull a chrysanthemum he had plucked from Elder Ju's garden out of his Soul Tool: "A gift for you from my junior sister!"
Ye Yuan'er let out a silver bell-like laugh, reached out to take it, and then patted Hu Liena on the head: "Nana, just call me Aunt Ye, same as Xiao Wen does!"
"Mm!" Hu Liena nodded, clutching the corner of Su Wen's clothes, shy and bashful, her pink lips parting slightly: "Aunt Ye."
The three of them walked into the house, Hu Liena gripping Su Wen's clothes as she curiously looked around.
The Elder Hall; she had heard that only Title Douluo powerhouses lived here.
This woman must certainly be one of them.
"Aunt Ye, help me refine this!"
Ye Yuan'er was secretly sizing up Hu Liena when Su Wen took a portion of Jiaojiao out of his Soul Tool and handed it to her.
Ye Yuan'er was startled, naturally knowing who this was meant for.
She pursed her lips, keeping her expression neutral.
How long had Xiao Wen been an apprentice, and he was already this close to this little girl?
The key was that this little girl had been clutching Xiao Wen's clothes from the very beginning; it was obvious there was already trust there.
If they grew up together, wouldn't they just be childhood sweethearts!
"Aunt Ye?"
"I know!"
Ye Yuan'er took it, feeling displeased.
She took the Whale Rubber out of the box, channeled her spirit power, and roasted it with flames; in just a quarter of an hour, the Whale Rubber softened.
After finishing this, she casually placed a hand on Hu Liena's shoulder.
She used her spirit power to probe the girl's physical condition.
"Nana, Senior Brother is going to help you improve your physical fitness, and then I'll pick a good Spirit Ring for you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Whatever I say later, do it, understand? You must also keep today's events a secret; you cannot tell a fourth person."
"Mm, Nana understands!"
Hu Liena stared at Su Wen, her eyes filled with shyness and timidity.
"Open your mouth."
As soon as Hu Liena opened her small mouth, Su Wen shoved it inside.
"Mmph~"
The Whale Rubber slid down her throat.
A fishy stench made Hu Liena frown, but she endured the discomfort and obediently swallowed it into her stomach.
Once the Whale Rubber entered her body, a surge of heat began to spread.
Mist seemed to steam in Hu Liena's eyes, and her skin turned crimson in a split second.
"Use your spirit power to refine it!"
Just as Hu Liena was feeling at a loss, Su Wen's voice rang in her ear.
She steadied her mind and used her spirit power to catalyze the energy within her.
She slowly began to absorb this power.
"Senior Brother, it's so hot!"
Hu Liena's face was bright red, and beads of moisture appeared on her skin.
Seeing this, Ye Yuan'er went to prepare some cold water.
She could tell that this piece of Whale Rubber was not just a hundred years old; it was likely at least five hundred years old.
"It's okay, keep refining!"
Su Wen wiped the sweat from her forehead. Hu Liena looked at him, leaned forward into his embrace, and slowly closed her eyes again to continue channeling her spirit power.
Ye Yuan'er brought the water over and saw this scene; her hand gripping the kettle tightened, her fingers sinking into the material.
Accompanied by the sound of flowing water, it suddenly fell to the ground, soaking the floor.
"Aunt Ye?"
"I'm about to break through, I just lost control of my strength for a moment!"
Ye Yuan'er handed the kettle over, and Su Wen fed the remaining water inside to Hu Liena.
