Piercing the Paper Window?

[System: Current mission progress is at 66.7%. The conditions for pranking Xiao Wu and gaining her favor have been met.]

That wasn't so hard, was it?

[System: Host, you are becoming increasingly proficient with this system's items. A little bug costing less than 10 points successfully pranked Xiao Wu while simultaneously earning you a massive boost in her favor. Impressive, truly impressive!]

Zhang Tianyu was silent for two seconds before saying internally, "Actually, I know what you want to say. You can just call me a scumbag directly; it's fine."

Oh, this... The system was stunned.

Host is amazing! He actually guessed what I was thinking!

"Besides, you haven't exactly held back from saying that in the past," Zhang Tianyu thought.

Xiao Wu, fuming, squeezed the Flying Centipede hard before hurling it away.

Zhang Tianyu flicked his finger. Upon hitting the ground, the Flying Centipede immediately turned invisible, crawled into Zhang Tianyu's hand, and burrowed into his palm, where he stored it back into the system space.

This little bug was reusable; as long as it wasn't killed, it could be used three times.

Although Xiao Wu had squeezed it quite hard just now, unfortunately, the dimension of Journey to the West was far superior to that of Douluo Continent.

Therefore, even if Xiao Wu used all her strength, she couldn't crush this little bug from Journey to the West.

"But at least I can rest easy now." Zhang Tianyu lay back comfortably on the grass and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Wu also took a deep breath and lay down beside Zhang Tianyu.

The night breeze brushed past, the moonlight was bright, and all was quiet.

No matter which plane a village was in, they all shared one common trait: they became exceptionally quiet at night, unlike cities with their nonsense nightlife.

Although the surroundings were quiet, Xiao Wu's heart could not settle down. Her mind kept replaying the moment Zhang Tianyu had looked at her earlier.

Zhang Tianyu's mind was also racing.

Two conditions had been met, and he was contemplating how to complete the third: making Xiao Wu voluntarily become someone close to him.

He soon had an idea and asked, "Enough about me, let's talk about you. You said your situation was similar to mine—are you the only one left in your family too?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiao Wu's racing heart instantly calmed.

After a long silence, she said, "I'm similar to you, but perhaps I'm a bit better off because I still have two very good friends."

Zhang Tianyu smiled. "Are you talking about me and Tang San?"

Xiao Wu shook her head. "No, back home, I have two very good friends. They have always taken care of me, protected me, and treated me very well, just like family."

Zhang Tianyu nodded. "Like family, but in the end... sigh, they aren't family."

Xiao Wu's delicate body trembled slightly, and a mist seemed to form in her eyes.

The timing is right! Now!

Zhang Tianyu sat up, looked at Xiao Wu earnestly, and asked, "You have no family, and neither do I. If you don't mind, can I be your family?"

Xiao Wu was stunned. Looking at Zhang Tianyu's handsome face and sincere eyes, her heart was touched at that moment!

After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze, and whispered, "If you become my family, I'm afraid you'll regret it."

"Why?" Zhang Tianyu asked.

"Because... because there might be many people who want to kill me in the future." Xiao Wu still didn't dare to look up at Zhang Tianyu.

"Kill you?" Zhang Tianyu chuckled. "As long as I am alive, I can guarantee that no one will ever hurt you!"

Hearing these iron-clad, resolute words, Xiao Wu's body began to tremble.

She finally looked up, watching Zhang Tianyu with a touch of emotion:

"But what if it's someone very powerful who wants to kill me? Like a Soul Douluo, or even a powerhouse at the level of a Title Douluo?"

Zhang Tianyu stared straight into her eyes. "Even if a god wants to kill you, I will stand in front of you! As long as I am alive, I will never allow anyone to hurt you!"

[System: Ahem, Host, that's not enough intensity. Your performance this time isn't as good as the last!]

Zhang Tianyu thought, Shut up, I'm not done yet.

As he spoke, Zhang Tianyu took Xiao Wu's hand and said firmly, "Even if I die, my soul will guard you until the very last moment! Unless they grind my bones to dust and scatter my soul to the winds!"

[System: 666! Tang San only said to let others step over his corpse, and you only said your corpse would form a wall to protect her last time. Good heavens, this time you've turned into an immortal war god, haven't you? Protecting her with your soul after death? Tang San could practically be rubbed into the dirt by you!]

Xiao Wu gripped Zhang Tianyu's hand tightly, her eyes turning red.

Then, she nodded softly but firmly:

"I'm willing!"

[System: Congratulations! [Hardcore Flirting] mission completed! Received mission rewards: Soul Power Level +2, Reward Points +20, Random Spirit Bone Unlock Progress +50%.]

Zhang Tianyu smiled gently. See? That did it!

Even though Xiao Wu had a hundred thousand years of cultivation, so what?

When it came to matters of the heart, she was a complete novice.

She was absolutely no match for this super scumbag—no, this super Casanova!

To deal with a girl like this, I don't even need to use any ultimate moves; simple, basic operations are enough to handle her with ease!

Afterward, he continued to chat with Xiao Wu, and as their relationship grew closer, the shift in her attitude toward him became clearly palpable.

If they had been close friends before, Then now, it was truly as if they were family.

The gentle affection in her eyes could not be concealed.

He took a moment to check his attribute panel, His Soul Power Level had already reached level 18.

Zhang Tianyu sighed, Completing quests to level up is just so fast!

With the ability to level up so quickly through quests, who would bother with meditation?

It wasn't that he didn't want to meditate, but as a modern person, meditation was simply too dull and tedious for him!

Almost every time he tried to meditate, he couldn't help but want to sleep, His eyelids would feel as heavy as if they were weighted with lead, Ahem, getting sidetracked. Better focus on dealing with the girl in front of him first.

Half an hour later, The two returned to Tang San's home hand in hand, Tang San could also clearly sense that their relationship had changed.

Really, it was completely obvious, Unless Tang San were blind, he would have been able to see it, The way Xiao Wu looked at Zhang Tianyu before had never been this soft and charming!

So, Had these two finally poked through that layer of window paper?

Oh no!

Don't!

You're only six years old! My friends!

What are you two doing!
