My Dear Na'er Is So Cute!

"My darling Na'er is so adorable!"

Watching Gu Yuena sleep peacefully with her eyes closed, Yao Xuan couldn't resist giving her a few passionate kisses before reluctantly leaving her bedchamber.

We had so much fun playing our first game that three days have already passed. I should go check on Xiao Wu! I wonder if she'll want to eat carrots again.

With a thought, Yao Xuan left the Silver Dragon Palace and surfaced from the Lake of Life.

"Brother Yao Xuan, you're finally back! By the way, what exactly did you and Sister Na'er go off to do? It's been three days!"

At the sight of Yao Xuan, Xiao Wu hurriedly pounced on him and clung to him, asking curiously.

"Xiao Wu, didn't Sister Na'er tell you before? She and I went off to do grown-up things!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Yao Xuan smiled mysteriously.

"Huh? Grown-up things? What kind of things, Brother Yao Xuan?"

His answer only made Xiao Wu more curious. She shook his arm and asked in a coquettish voice.

"You'll find out when you grow up, Xiao Wu! For now, I can't really explain it to you!"

Hearing her question, Yao Xuan smiled and shook his head, avoiding a direct answer.

"All right. I really hope I can grow up soon! Oh, Brother Yao Xuan, I...I'm a little hungry!"

Just then, Xiao Wu rubbed her belly and gazed up at Yao Xuan hopefully.

"Sorry about that. I'll feed you a carrot right away!"

Yao Xuan gently rubbed the top of Xiao Wu's head, then took out a carrot and handed it to her. Xiao Wu happily began eating it.

"Delicious! But why does today's carrot smell like Sister Na'er?"

After savoring Yao Xuan's carrot, Xiao Wu wiped her mouth and looked at him curiously.

"Huh? How did you notice that?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Yao Xuan examined her curiously.

"Brother Yao Xuan, did you forget I'm a rabbit? My nose is really sensitive!"

Seeing Yao Xuan's curious expression, Xiao Wu answered with a smug look.

"That's right. You're amazing, Xiao Wu! Since we have some time, let's practice your combat skills!"

Hearing her answer, Yao Xuan smiled and ruffled her hair, then quickly changed the subject.

"Sure, thanks, Brother Yao Xuan! But go easy on me!"

Xiao Wu gave him a sweet smile and, with a thought, used Martial Soul Possession.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing!"

Yao Xuan smiled too, but didn't use Martial Soul Possession. That would have been far too unfair to her.

"Here I come, Brother Yao Xuan!"

Xiao Wu flashed him a sly smile, then suddenly whipped her head around. Her long scorpion braid shot toward Yao Xuan's neck like a dark blur.

"Too slow!"

With a smile, Yao Xuan reached out to grab her long braid.

"Brother Yao Xuan, you fell for it!"

Xiao Wu gave him a triumphant smile. Her body twisted sharply in midair, and her braid deftly swung off to the side.

At the same time, she raised both legs and hooked them around Yao Xuan's shoulders, hanging upside down.

Xiao Wu's legs were soft and smooth, like pillows to the touch. They felt wonderful, and it was no wonder she was known as the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit.

"Waist Bow!"

Just as Yao Xuan was enjoying the sensation, Xiao Wu suddenly smiled sweetly. The first yellow Soul Ring around her lit up, and she unleashed a surge of strength, trying to flip him over.

"Xiao Wu, your combat skills are really good! If I weren't so strong, you might have actually thrown me!"

Xiao Wu strained with all her might, her cheeks turning red as apples, but Yao Xuan remained completely unmoved.

"Brother Yao Xuan, you're cheating!"

After several failed attempts, Xiao Wu could only flip herself back onto the ground. She pouted at Yao Xuan, looking a little dejected.

"All right, Xiao Wu. I'll hold back a little more and bring my strength down to your level. That'll make the practice more realistic."

Seeing her like that, Yao Xuan could only rub her head and comfort her.

There was no helping it. Even in his human form, without Martial Soul Possession or a Soul Skill, he was still far stronger than Xiao Wu. She simply couldn't budge him.

"All right, let's keep going! I refuse to believe the gap between me and Brother Yao Xuan is really that big!"

With Yao Xuan holding back his strength, Xiao Wu refused to give up and attacked with all she had, trying to take him down.

But she still failed.

Even with his strength reduced to match Xiao Wu's, the inherited memories from his Auspicious Beast bloodline and Golden Dragon King Bloodline still let Yao Xuan handle her attacks with ease.

After nearly an hour of fighting back and forth, Xiao Wu had used up all her Soul Power and was almost completely exhausted. Sweat soaked her short skirt, revealing glimpses of the pale skin beneath.

"Brother Yao Xuan, I...I can't go on. I give up!"

Xiao Wu still didn't want to admit defeat, but she was truly out of strength and had no choice but to surrender.

"Xiao Wu, is your big brother Yao Xuan impressive or what?"

Looking at Xiao Wu, who could no longer fight, Yao Xuan smiled and asked.

"I-It's impressive! Brother Yao Xuan, you're amazing!"

Hearing him, Xiao Wu nodded and slumped to the ground, panting heavily as she answered with admiration.

She hadn't expected that even with their strength matched, she still couldn't measure up to Brother Yao Xuan. She clearly still had a lot of room to improve!

"All right, we've practiced enough. It's time to rest. You didn't manage to beat me, Xiao Wu, but you did great today!"

Yao Xuan wiped the sweat from Xiao Wu's head and hair, then helped her lie down on his lap.

"Really? I'm so happy Brother Yao Xuan thinks so!"

Hearing that, Xiao Wu's earlier frustration eased, and a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Of course. I'd never lie to you, Xiao Wu! But you can't slack off—you have to keep working hard!"

"I'm sure you want to get revenge on Tang San with your own hands and break his legs yourself. So you'll have to train even harder, Xiao Wu!"

Gently stroking Xiao Wu's pink hair, Yao Xuan encouraged her with a smile.

"Mm! I will, Brother Yao Xuan!"

Xiao Wu nodded firmly and answered earnestly.

Just then, ripples suddenly spread across the distant waters of the Lake of Life. Gu Yuena's beautiful figure broke through the surface and emerged once more.
