A Private Deal with Zhu Zhuqing

Early the next morning.

The opening ceremony ended in the morning, and with nothing to do in the afternoon, the students had mostly returned to their dorms or gone home.

After all, according to the school's usual practice, these students would not begin their studies until the following day.

"Ah! Hao! I'm so bored..." In the villa bedroom, Du Hao rested his chin on his hand, watching Xiao Wu rolling around incessantly on the bed.

"Bored? How about we go for a stroll in Nuoding City? We're just sitting around anyway." Watching Xiao Wu tumble about, Du Hao closed the thick book in front of him and rubbed his temples as he suggested.

This Introduction to Soul Power Manipulation and Burial was making his head spin; he recognized the characters, but when put together, it was like reading a completely different language.

It felt on par with the mathematics from his previous life.

"Okay, okay! Should we ask Zhuqing to come along?" Xiao Wu bounced up from the bed, looking toward Zhuqing, who was meditating to the side, to ask for her opinion.

"No, you two go ahead." Zhuqing shook her head, feeling the surge of soul power within her body, indicating that she still needed to cultivate.

Her gaze drifted toward Du Hao inadvertently, revealing an inscrutable meaning in her eyes.

It was as if she had seen through something.

"Then I'm going out with Hao!" Xiao Wu reached out and pulled Du Hao, who was sitting by the desk, to his feet and headed quickly toward the door.

Xiao Wu was one hundred percent in favor of Du Hao's suggestion; after all, she was a rabbit.

Being lively and active was only natural.

She headed toward the door, unable to contain her excitement.

Feeling the sensation of her small hand, Du Hao, walking behind her, wore a faint smile.

The little rabbit had fallen into the trap!

He looked back and gave Zhuqing a thumbs-up, signaling his immense admiration for her plan, and pointed his finger at the book he had just closed.

He mouthed silently, "Deal concluded!"

"..." Zhuqing, who had been meditating, opened her eyes and looked at the closed door, sighing silently.

"Master... no, I should call him Brother Hao now. I wonder if this is right or wrong?" She sat in the spot where Du Hao had been, staring blankly at the book cover, as if recalling the scene from last night.

"Forget it, let nature take its course."

Ever since Du Hao and Xiao Wu went out, the two had been holding hands the entire time, like childhood sweethearts, drawing frequent glances from everyone on the street.

The entire afternoon.

Xiao Wu dragged Du Hao all over the city, and no matter what it was, she would pull him along to watch. She didn't miss out on any snacks either, buying a few portions of everything to taste.

As the afternoon passed.

Du Hao, who had been smiling earlier, covered his face, feeling as if his legs no longer belonged to him.

Sure enough, the web novels of his past life did not deceive him.

Women were truly a magical species; shopping had left him completely numb.

Yet Xiao Wu remained full of energy, showing not a hint of fatigue—her stamina was terrifying!

With the willpower Du Hao had honed through over a hundred years of swordplay experience, he had actually started to feel a bit of irritation.

"Hao? Why are you so listless?" Back at the villa dorm, Xiao Wu skipped over to Du Hao, blinking her large eyes in curiosity.

"It's because of the Italian noodles mixed with No. 42 concrete, leading to the Dolia effect, caused by the Ultra factors within..." Du Hao sprawled on the living room sofa, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"Huh? What kind of gibberish are you talking about?"

In just two short days, the intimacy between Xiao Wu and Du Hao had skyrocketed at an impressive rate, thanks to Du Hao's efforts and Zhuqing's assists.

Once the meat in the bowl is thoroughly cooked, that will be the time for me to dig in, hehe~ Du Hao thought triumphantly to himself.

Over the past few days, Du Hao and Zhuqing had taken great care of Xiao Wu. Little rabbit, little rabbit—she was truly moved!

During this time, Du Hao had successfully managed to change the way Xiao Wu addressed him from "Hao" to "Brother Hao!" A great success indeed!

As for the cultivation of soul power?

Are you kidding me? My brother has innate soul power; if he weren't waiting for his physical fitness to improve, Du Hao would have already gone to obtain his first soul ring.

Of course, there was also a bit of laziness involved. After all, physical training wasn't just about the rewards; if he wanted to, he could train his body himself.

It was just that he had lived through too many bitter days and wanted to slack off for a while.

Why work so hard when he could lie down and earn rewards?

It was just that the gold coins in his small treasury seemed to be depleting a bit too quickly lately.

This wasn't because Du Hao was spending more.

On the contrary, he rarely spent money. The main drain was Zhuqing's increased appetite, along with the costs of Xiao Wu's food and entertainment; the money was flowing out like water.

A mere hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins were simply not enough.

"Sister Xiao Wu! Have you seen Boss Tang San?" At that moment, a lackey from Dorm Seven suddenly knocked on his door, repeatedly asking about Tang San's whereabouts.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Wu opened the door and asked the lackey outside.

"Wang Sheng has been cornered by Xiao Chenyu and his gang! Sister Xiao Wu, do you know where Boss Tang San is?" The lackey was clearly anxious, even appearing somewhat at a loss for what to do.

"Xiao Chenyu? Are they picking a fight for no reason?" Du Hao asked curiously.

"Yes! For no reason at all! That bunch just can't stand us Work-Study Students. This time, Boss Wang Sheng was ambushed, and we couldn't help him at all! Sister Xiao Wu, can you go and help Boss Wang Sheng?"

"Fine! They dare to bully my lackey! Let's go, lead the way! Watch how Sister Xiao Wu cleans them up!" Xiao Wu was immediately fuming with rage, her eyes burning with the flames of battle!

Although she hadn't been staying in Dorm Seven these past few days, due to the complex relationship stemming from her little brother Tang San becoming the dorm head, everyone had come to call her Sister Xiao Wu!

Now that her own lackey was being bullied, how could Xiao Wu possibly hold back? She immediately set off to stand up for her subordinate.

"That's great, Sister Xiao Wu!" Seeing a glimmer of hope, the lackey nodded immediately and began leading the way for Xiao Wu, as well as Du Hao and Zhu Zhuqing who followed behind her!

Beside Xiao Wu, Du Hao had already pulled out his Emerald Green Onion and infused it with his soul power, making the vegetable harder and more useful.

Even Zhu Zhuqing wore a cold expression at this moment, following closely behind Du Hao, ready for battle at any time.

In less than a moment, the four of them arrived at the scene.

Over there, Wang Sheng and the others were in a standoff with a group of people; neither side was willing to yield, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

When one side saw the four people walking over, they immediately burst into laughter!

"Wang Sheng, you're really going downhill! I didn't expect you to call over such a little brat? What's the matter, are you letting them take the beating for you?" Xiao Chenyu mocked with a laugh.

The twenty-plus people standing behind him also let out mocking laughter, not taking the people in front of them seriously in the slightest.

"Hmph! What's so great about you all?" Xiao Wu waved her fist fiercely and provoked them, "Do you believe that Sister Xiao Wu can beat all of you to the ground?"
