Cold on the Outside, Clingy on the Inside—Who Says Xiao Wu Is a Hooligan Rabbit?

The scene opened on an utterly familiar sight.

The young Tang Hao was fleeing with Ah Yin and their infant.

However, compared to the somewhat bedraggled pair in the White World, Tang Hao and his wife in the Black World appeared far more composed in the face of danger.

["Brother Hao, head toward one o'clock. There are fewer soul beasts that way."]

[Holding the infant, Ah Yin calmly analyzed the various pieces of information the surrounding Blue Silver Grass relayed to her.]

[She quickly identified a relatively safe route for them.]

[Tang Hao, charging ahead with the Clear Sky Hammer in hand, remained constantly on guard against enemies or soul beasts that might ambush them nearby. The two worked together seamlessly and barely stopped along the way.]

["Damn it, those bastards! If I find out which animal leaked our information to Spirit Hall, I'll fuck their entire ancestral line!"]

[Hot-tempered Tang Hao cursed bitterly. Earlier that day, he and Ah Yin had taken Tang San out to purchase supplies. On their way back, the ever-vigilant Ah Yin had sensed that something was wrong and immediately pulled Tang Hao away. Only then had they successfully avoided Spirit Hall's ambush.]

[Especially after Tang Hao sensed the auras of several Titled Douluo among their pursuers, a wave of lingering fear rose in his heart.]

[If his wife and child had met with disaster here because of his carelessness, he would have lived the rest of his life in guilt and regret.]

[Now that their opponents could deploy such a powerful force, it meant they already knew Ah Yin was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.]

[So the question was, who had exposed her identity and their location?]

["Brother Hao, have you contacted anyone else recently?" Ah Yin asked after pondering for a moment.]

["Yeah. Before little Chuan was born, didn't we send a letter to Big Brother to let him know we were safe?" Tang Hao answered instinctively.]

[But he quickly realized something was wrong, his eyes widening. "Third Sister, you can't be suspecting Big Brother, can you? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Third Sister, you know Big Brother would never harm us, no matter what."]

[Ah Yin's expression was indifferent. "Your big brother certainly wouldn't, but the Clear Sky Sect might not be so certain. How can you be sure the letter you sent was seen only by your big brother?"]

[When Ah Yin had previously accompanied Tang Hao to visit the Clear Sky Sect, she had sensed intense wariness and hostility from quite a few elders. One elder in particular made no effort to conceal his loathing for the three siblings Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua.]

[Later, Ah Yin learned from Tang Yuehua that this elder had lost to their father in the contest for sect master and had therefore always eyed their branch covetously.]

[Unfortunately for him, this generation had produced the Clear Sky Sect's twin stars, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. He might not even live to see someone from his own family become sect master, so how could he not hate them?]

White World.

"It seems this so-called number one sect in the world is not as united as it appears." Bibi Dong's gaze flickered as she committed the matter to memory.

Factional struggles had always been an extremely common issue in all kinds of families, royal houses, sects, and other powers.

Even Spirit Hall, as powerful as it was, could not escape the fate of dividing into the Pope faction and the Worship Hall faction. The two sides often fought openly and covertly over trivial matters.

But interestingly, these factional conflicts often followed an unspoken rule.

The moment an outside enemy appeared, both sides would immediately cast aside all prior grievances and stand united against the enemy.

After all, no matter how viciously factions fought one another, the benefits ultimately belonged to their own power.

But if an external enemy invaded, everyone's interests would suffer. They understood that much.

[Tang Hao opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.]

[Seeing this, Ah Yin did not continue the subject. She knew full well that, in Tang Hao's heart after growing up in the sect, the Clear Sky Sect held nearly the same place as she did. He would not be willing to give up either side, so she would not force him to choose.]

[After a while, Tang Hao noticed that Ah Yin's forehead was covered in sweat and gave her an honest, ingratiating smile. "Ah Yin, we've been running all day. Are you tired? How about we go down and find somewhere to rest for a while?"]

[Ah Yin instinctively shook her head, but then she lowered her gaze to Tang Chuan in her arms, her expression turning conflicted.]

[One of them had eight rings and the other had six. It would not matter even if they went days without food or water, but little Tang Chuan was still an infant.]

["Then we'll rest for ten minutes. I'll feed Chuan'er something. We're still some distance from the Star Dou Great Forest, so we can't waste too much time."]

[The two quickly found a hidden corner and concealed themselves there. Tang Hao remained vigilantly stationed at the entrance, refusing to let any creature approach.]

[Before long, Ah Yin emerged carrying little Tang Chuan, who was full, content, and growing sleepy. But halfway out, she suddenly seemed to sense something and looked toward a patch of grass somewhere in the forest.]

[Before she could see what little creature was there, Tang Hao put away the Clear Sky Hammer and moved closer, studying Tang Chuan's face carefully.]

[After a long while, he nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it! He's really handsome. You have no idea, when I first saw him in the midwife's arms a few days ago, my whole world collapsed. Back then, that child looked neither like you nor me. He was all wrinkled up, nowhere near as good-looking as he is now."]

[Ah Yin could not help rolling her eyes, both amused and exasperated. "All newborns are like that. He'll look better once he grows into his features."]

["He'd better grow up tall and mighty, masculine and handsome, like me."]

[Tang Hao leaned over and made a silly face, scaring the drowsy little Tang Chuan into bursting into loud sobs.]

[Ah Yin irritably pushed Tang Hao's face aside, then lifted the child to face her. She closed her eyes and pursed her lips, swaying her head from side to side for a while. Then she suddenly opened both her eyes and mouth. After repeating this several times, little Tang Chuan was soon coaxed into delighted laughter.]

That smile was incredibly infectious, leaving even Xiao Wu staring in fascination.

She lowered her lashes slightly and tugged at Tang Chuan's sleeve. A faint blush seemed to spread across her exquisite cheeks, and her soft voice trembled slightly. "Brother Chuan, I want to ask you something. Do you like little bunny sisters, or little bunny brothers?"

Tang Chuan: "???"

Ning Rongrong: "???"

Pah, pah, pah! No wonder Brother Chuan always called Xiao Wu a hooligan rabbit. She really had no sense of propriety.

I'm still right here, and this little brat already dared to ask Brother Chuan to make baby bunnies with her. If I weren't here, wouldn't they just do it on the spot?

When she taught at Spirit Hall Academy, she had looked so pure and aloof. So many students had even called her an icy, flawless flower on a lofty peak.

But in private... If those students found out that the goddess in their hearts was actually so... well... cloyingly sweet in front of Tang Chuan?

Wouldn't they collapse on the spot?

Ning Rongrong inwardly flailed in exasperation.
