After packing their things, the two left the room and happened to run into that staff member from earlier.
The staff member looked at Su Ming and Xiao Wu strangely, noticing that Xiao Wu's face was still a little flushed.
He then patted Su Ming on the shoulder and chuckled. "At your age, you should show some restraint! We could hear your voices from outside just now!"
Su Ming raised an eyebrow at that. What were these people thinking? He was only six years old—what could he possibly do?
They had been cultivating! Cultivating!
Xiao Wu's face turned bright red with embarrassment.
After leaving the hotel and arriving at the academy, Xiao Wu said, "Su Ming, thank you so much for today. I don't even know how to repay you."
Su Ming joked, "If you don't know how to repay me, then just give yourself to me."
Xiao Wu's face, which had only just calmed down, immediately flushed red again. "Y-you, how can you think like that? We're only six years old!"
"Then why don't you be my little sister first? How about it?"
Su Ming settled for the next best thing. They were still young, so there was no rush.
Little sister? I'm old enough to be your ancestor.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Wu asked, "Su Ming, if lots of people come to kill me someday, will you protect me?"
Although Xiao Wu had learned from the Diary that Su Ming knew she was a Soul Beast, she still wanted to hear the answer she wished for from Su Ming himself.
Su Ming said seriously, "Don't worry. If anyone dares hurt you or kill you in the future, I'll definitely make them pay the price! Of course, I won't let you suffer even the slightest injury either, unless I'm dead!"
Su Ming had always known that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and he meant every word he said. Even if his mindset was not mature enough yet and his strength was still insufficient, he had the system. He had the confidence to keep Xiao Wu safe!
Whoever dared hurt Xiao Wu would get a Susanoo Enveloping Buddha followed by an Enveloping Buddha, smashed straight into a pile of meat paste!
Xiao Wu smiled. "Then I'll be your little sister!"
Su Ming said happily, "Then you'll have to call me big brother from now on!"
"Brother Su Ming!"
Xiao Wu called out brightly, though she was still a little unaccustomed to it. After all, she had originally been the big sister!
Then, after thinking it over, Su Ming made a decision. He took Xiao Wu's hand and quickly pulled her into a small grove.
Su Ming's sudden action left her somewhat confused.
Then she heard Su Ming say, "Xiao Wu, actually, I know that you're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that took human form!"
Xiao Wu was shocked inwardly. Why had Su Ming suddenly brought this up?
When Su Ming saw that Xiao Wu's expression had not changed much, he found it strange. Xiao Wu's reaction isn't right! How is she so calm after I revealed that she's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Something's wrong—very wrong!
"Xiao Wu, aren't you surprised?"
Xiao Wu was instantly startled. Oh no, she had acted too calmly and forgotten to put on an act. What should she do? What should she do?!
Xiao Wu quickly adapted, her eyes welling with tears. "Brother Su Ming, I only just became your little sister. You don't want to kill me for my Soul Ring and Soul Bone already, do you?"
Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to cry, Su Ming could no longer think about anything else. He hurriedly waved his hands. "How could I! You're the little sister I acknowledged—how could I possibly kill you!"
"The reason I told you this is because I want you to trust me. Just give me enough time, and no one will ever be able to bully you!"
Then Su Ming told another small lie. "The reason I know you're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is mainly because my eyes are special, so I can tell."
"I know. I trust you."
Then the two naturally embraced.
Xiao Wu actually felt rather relieved at that moment. It was good that Su Ming had personally exposed her identity. She no longer needed to hide it from him, nor did she need to avoid him when doing things.
She also no longer had to agonize over when to tell him the truth. Though, of course, Su Ming had known her identity all along.
Xiao Wu relaxed both physically and mentally because she understood that Su Ming genuinely cared about her, and she did not want to hide anything from him either!
Then she smiled. Brother Su Ming, you big fool. You actually dared lie to me. The Sharingan can't see through the identity of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast after it takes human form. If I didn't have a copy of your Diary, you really would have fooled me.
Still, even though it was a lie, Xiao Wu could not bring herself to dislike it at all. Instead, her heart felt warm.
Then the two held hands and prepared to go eat.
If one looked carefully, it would not be hard to notice that Su Ming's ears were still red. This was the first time he had said something so mushy. It was really...
Meanwhile, Su Ming wrote in his Diary while eating.
It was time to start today's Diary entry.
Today, I let Xiao Wu use the remaining Body Tempering Fluid. It was useless for me to keep it anyway, so it was just right for improving Xiao Wu's physical condition.
These seven bottles of Body Tempering Fluid should be just right for Xiao Wu. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Wu has already condensed her First Spirit Ring. Once she finishes the Body Tempering Fluid, condensing a two-thousand-year second Soul Ring should not be a problem.
Now, the Female leads who had yet to obtain a Soul Ring were a little envious of Xiao Wu. The one closest to the water gets the moon first!
Also, today I tried cultivating the Spiritual Power technique. Mm, it really hurt. With my current Spiritual Power, I shouldn't cultivate too frequently, but the results should be decent. After all, I suffered so much pain. If the gains aren't proportional, that would be ridiculous!
And the happiest thing today was that Xiao Wu became my little sister. Of course, this is only the first step. In the end, Xiao Wu can only be my wife!
As for those good things I gave her, I'll just count them as the bride price I paid in advance. Hehe!
Although the girls did not know what bride price was, they knew that Xiao Wu probably could not escape Su Ming's grasp.
As for Xiao Wu, she did not care about all that. She would just let things take their course. Su Ming was such a good person and so handsome too—what was there to complain about? Still, their current relationship was good enough for now.
But today, I came clean to Xiao Wu. I told her that I knew she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form. Yet, to my surprise, Xiao Wu did not seem very shocked. It felt extremely strange!
The moment those words appeared, Xiao Wu's heart tightened, and the other girls' hearts also rose to their throats. They were nervous as well. Xiao Wu had not exposed a flaw, had she?
P.S. Brothers, if you have any spare votes, hand them over! I'm asking for everything!!
