Let me see!

Soon, Tang San left with a look of dejection.

Zhang Tianyu monitored the Marauder's Map and discovered that he had already left the area and returned to his home.

Furthermore, the only living people in this vicinity were himself and Xiao Wu.

Only then did he feel at ease.

After lying down with Xiao Wu for a while longer, Xiao Wu suddenly sat up abruptly as if she had been stung. This time, her expression had clearly changed; she was frowning, looking as guarded as if facing a formidable enemy, and staring intently at the spot where she had just been lying.

"What exactly is wrong?" Zhang Tianyu stood up, looked at Xiao Wu, and then glanced at the ground. "Are you feeling something moving under your body again?"

Xiao Wu nodded and immediately asked, "You felt it too?"

Zhang Tianyu also frowned. "It seems like there was a little something, but I didn't pay much attention to it."

Xiao Wu looked astonished. "You didn't pay attention? It felt like something tough yet flexible was sweeping across my back."

Zhang Tianyu was taken aback and quickly said, "Turn around, let me check your back."

Xiao Wu turned around immediately, lifted her scorpion braid with both hands, and exposed her back for Zhang Tianyu to see.

Zhang Tianyu looked for a moment and said, "Everything is normal. I don't see anything dirty on your back."

"That is truly strange!" Xiao Wu let down her hair. "Could there be snakes in this place? Was that a snake slithering around under our backs just now?"

Thinking of that image, Xiao Wu couldn't help but shiver.

Zhang Tianyu shrugged and laughed. "We are both soul masters over level ten; are we still afraid of ordinary snakes? With our strength, would ordinary snakes dare to get close to us?"

Soul masters possess a certain aura of intimidation. While this pressure has little effect on powerful soul beasts, it is quite significant against ordinary wild animals, which generally wouldn't dare to approach a soul master.

"That's true," Xiao Wu felt relieved. "Then... what was that strange feeling I had earlier?"

Although she was no longer as panicked, she didn't dare to lie on the ground anymore. Instead, she sat on the ground with Zhang Tianyu, watching the moon.

Zhang Tianyu said, "Do you have any plans for the next few days? We can't keep staying at Tang San's house forever. Even though his father is gone, it still doesn't look very good."

Xiao Wu thought seriously and said, "Then we can only go back to Nuoding City and take advantage of the holiday to stroll around the city, eat, drink, and have fun!"

Zhang Tianyu looked helpless. "My dear lady, eating, drinking, and having fun costs money."

Xiao Wu said, "We are soul masters; are you afraid we won't have money?"

Zhang Tianyu gave a thumbs up. "Well said. So, when are you going to pay back the six silver coins you owe me?"

Xiao Wu immediately looked embarrassed. "Oh, I'll pay you back next time I get my allowance!"

Zhang Tianyu stopped talking and just shrugged his shoulders.

She said that every time, but whenever she received her allowance, she would spend it all before it even warmed up in her pocket.

In the original plot, if not for Tang San's financial support, she would have been starved back into the forest before long.

Now, that role had fallen to Zhang Tianyu.

"So, where do you think we should go next?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Tianyu sighed. "I'm the only one left in my family. I thought I could be free to go wherever I wanted, but in the end, I discovered that while being unattached and free to roam is indeed easy, it is also very lonely."

Xiao Wu fell silent, hugging her knees and looking quietly into the distance, a misty glimmer seemingly flickering in her eyes.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu asked, "Tianyu, do you know how your parents passed away?"

Zhang Tianyu said, "I heard it was because of some grudge, but I don't know the specifics."

Xiao Wu nodded and was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed. She reached out and grabbed at her back.

Seeing her sudden movement, Zhang Tianyu immediately asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"On my back!" Xiao Wu said anxiously while clawing at her back. "There's something on my back! Quick! Help me check!"

"Alright!"

Zhang Tianyu immediately moved behind her, but, "I don't see anything at all!"

"Right here!" Xiao Wu pointed to a spot on her back. "Right here! Ah, now it's moved over here! It feels like something is crawling! Tianyu, hurry and help me look!"

Zhang Tianyu leaned in and looked carefully, saying with a bewildered expression, "I really don't see anything!"

"How can that be..." Xiao Wu began to panic.

She clearly felt something crawling around on her back; why couldn't Zhang Tianyu see it?

At that moment, she felt the thing crawling faster and faster across her back, moving more clearly and more brazenly.

Her heart grew increasingly frantic, because the unknown is the most terrifying thing, especially now that even Zhang Tianyu couldn't see what was moving on her back!

"Damn it!"

"It's moving faster and faster!" Xiao Wu grew increasingly panicked. "Zhang Tianyu, can you really not see anything moving?"

"I really don't see anything, Xiao Wu," Zhang Tianyu said, also feeling a bit anxious. "Would I joke with you about something like this? Could it be..."

Zhang Tianyu was just about to say 'could it be under your clothes', When Xiao Wu, as if she knew exactly what he was thinking, Gritted her teeth, squeezed her eyes shut, and steeled her heart, Whoosh!

She abruptly pulled off her top!

Swish!

A smooth, fair, and delicate beautiful back appeared before Zhang Tianyu!

This skin was truly too perfect, Soft and fine, tender and smooth, It could even reflect the moonlight!

This is absurd!

Did she coat herself in lacquer or something?!

Ahem, of course, that's not the point!

The point is, I didn't expect Xiao Wu to be so straightforward!

He had originally thought he would have to persuade Xiao Wu properly before she would be forced to take off her clothes, But he didn't expect that he wouldn't even need to say a word; Xiao Wu had taken them off all on her own!

Impressive!

As expected of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast in human form, a true senior!

This kind of boldness is something we juniors lack!

Looking at this beautiful back, Zhang Tianyu's thoughts instantly flew back to his past life, In this moment, it was as if he had returned to the time they spent happily in that past life...

"Quick, Zhang Tianyu, help me look. What exactly is on my back?"

Xiao Wu couldn't care about anything else and asked urgently.

"Alright!" Zhang Tianyu replied quickly. He examined it carefully and said, "I still don't see anything wrong, Xiao Wu. Are you sure you didn't feel it wrong?"

Xiao Wu looked puzzled at this moment, Because she discovered that the strange sensation on her back had vanished the moment she took off her clothes.

So, was it a problem with the clothes?

She immediately threw the garment onto the ground and observed it carefully, But the clothes were completely normal, Then she raised her head, her eyes meeting Zhang Tianyu's, At this moment, her face flushed red with shyness.

Yo, you're blushing? Come here, let me get a good look!
