The Jealous Xiao Wu

Luo Yan had wanted to check on Zhu Zhuqing, but he realized that at some point she had fallen asleep in his arms.

She had even wrapped her arms around his neck, her little face nestled against his chest.

"Looks like she really is exhausted..."

Luo Yan shook his head.

Then he carried Zhu Zhuqing into the cottage, intending to lay her on the bed.

As soon as Luo Yan stepped inside, Xiao Wu, who had been sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating, opened her eyes and said happily, "Brother Luo Yan, how come you're back so early today!"

The moment she looked at Luo Yan, she saw the girl in his arms, and her voice cut off.

Zhu Zhuqing was every bit as beautiful as she was. Her figure was even more voluptuous, and seeing that, Xiao Wu's face turned pale.

[Xiao Wu saw you carrying another very beautiful girl. Her heart filled with jealousy. Affection -5!]

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Luo Yan felt awkward.

Only then did he remember that this little rabbit was very jealous, too.

Luo Yan walked to the bed, laid Zhu Zhuqing down, and covered her with a blanket.

When he was done, he took Xiao Wu up to the roof and began to explain. "Xiao Wu, listen to me. Her name is Zhu Zhuqing..."

Luo Yan told her all about Zhu Zhuqing's identity and what had happened to her.

When he finished, he looked at Xiao Wu affectionately and said slowly:

"Xiao Wu, don't worry. No matter who I meet in the future, you'll always be the most important person in my heart!"

Xiao Wu, who had been absorbed in Zhu Zhuqing's tragic story, suddenly turned cold.

"I just thought she was as pitiful as you, Xiao Wu..."

Noticing the change in Xiao Wu's expression, Luo Yan pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the warmth against her back, Xiao Wu's expression softened considerably.

Luo Yan didn't know that Xiao Wu didn't particularly mind him finding other women. She just couldn't accept, all at once, having to share what was hers.

As a Soul Beast, she didn't have the concept of monogamy.

"Xiao Wu, you'll always be the most special one to me..."

"Hmph, I don't believe you!"

"Didn't you say you couldn't finish my Big Radish? I'm just finding you a companion!"

"Idiot, how can you say something like that!"

"..."

Luo Yan spent the whole night coaxing her. By dawn, Xiao Wu had finally calmed down.

"Boss, it's been a week. When are we heading to the human world?" Er Ming was getting impatient.

A day and a half had passed since Luo Yan brought Zhu Zhuqing back to the cottage. The time he'd agreed on with Da Ming and Er Ming had arrived.

Zhu Zhuqing still hadn't woken during those day and a half. She had been asleep in the cottage the whole time.

So the two Soul Beasts didn't know Luo Yan had brought someone back.

Da Ming also looked over.

"Hmph!"

Only Xiao Wu knew that Luo Yan was definitely going to wait for Zhu Zhuqing to wake up before setting off. She sat beside him, sulking.

"We might have to wait another day or two."

Since Zhu Zhuqing was still asleep, Luo Yan wasn't sure how long she would remain that way.

Just as he finished speaking, the cottage door opened, and Zhu Zhuqing walked out.

"Human?!"

Da Ming and Er Ming sensed Zhu Zhuqing's presence at once. They immediately released their auras and turned to face her.

"Stop!" Luo Yan reacted immediately.

He hurried to Zhu Zhuqing's side and shielded her from Da Ming and Er Ming's pressure.

In Zhu Zhuqing's current condition and with her level of cultivation, she wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of their auras.

Her old injuries might even flare up.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan placed a hand behind Zhu Zhuqing and sent spiritual power into her to help regulate her breathing.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, put your auras away!"

Seeing how concerned Luo Yan was, Xiao Wu felt a little jealous, but she still told Da Ming and Er Ming to withdraw their pressure.

At Xiao Wu's words, Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance.

In the end, they did as Xiao Wu asked and withdrew their pressure.

Zhu Zhuqing had noticed the three of them across from her as well. She cautiously hid behind Luo Yan and asked, "Luo Yan, who are they?"

For that brief moment, she had felt Da Ming and Er Ming's auras, too.

They were at least as powerful as the Star Luo Emperor she had met, which made her nervous.

But Zhu Zhuqing was even more interested in Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was every bit as beautiful as she was, and the pink dress she wore made her look especially adorable.

Even Zhu Zhuqing felt a little captivated.

She was also confused about where she was. The area was surrounded by forest, and there wasn't a single sign of human habitation.

Luo Yan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and saw that although she could stand on her own, her face was still a little pale.

Clearly, her injuries had not yet healed.

"Those two are my underlings. You can call them Da Ming and Er Ming." As he spoke, Luo Yan supported her as they walked toward Xiao Wu and pointed out Da Ming and Er Ming.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.

But her gaze stayed fixed on Xiao Wu.

For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing felt that the girl across from her looked at her with a hint of hostility.

She was also very curious about who Xiao Wu was to Luo Yan.

They soon reached Xiao Wu and sat down. Luo Yan sat beside Xiao Wu, while Zhu Zhuqing sat on his other side.

Luo Yan pointed to Xiao Wu and continued, "You can call her Xiao Wu. She's my..."

He was just about to finish when he noticed Xiao Wu's right hand resting on his waist, as though she'd give him a hard pinch if he said the wrong thing.

"She's my woman..."

At Luo Yan's words, Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned even colder.

Sigh!

Seeing her reaction, Luo Yan knew Zhu Zhuqing was angry. After all, he already had a woman, and he'd still flirted with her earlier.

There was basically no difference between him and Dai Mubai.

But Xiao Wu was sitting right beside him. He'd spent the whole night coaxing her, and in the end, he'd had to make a promise before she finally calmed down.

From then on, no matter how many more women Luo Yan found, he had to tell them about his relationship with Xiao Wu right away.

Otherwise, Xiao Wu would never agree, even if it killed her.

Still, Luo Yan wasn't too worried. He knew what Zhu Zhuqing needed, and he believed that one day he would get her to accept Xiao Wu's presence.

"Oh, right, Da Ming, Er Ming, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Zhu Zhuqing!"

After introducing herself to Zhu Zhuqing, Luo Yan didn't forget to introduce Zhu Zhuqing to Da Ming and Er Ming.

At Luo Yan's words, Da Ming nodded slightly in greeting but said nothing.

Er Ming, however, couldn't keep his thoughts to himself and asked outright, "Big Brother, she's human. How can you be good friends with her?"

"We're no longer Soul Beasts. Why can't we be friends with humans?"

Looking at Er Ming's anxious expression, Luo Yan asked in return.

He had already told Da Ming and Er Ming that ever since they became demon beasts, humans would no longer obtain Soul Rings or Soul Bones by killing them.
