Xiao Wu: Oh No, She's Coming for Me

"Can you see me? Can you see me?"

Qian Renxue leaped down from a tree branch and floated before them, waving her hand in front of Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuyun did not answer. She merely looked at the Qian Renxue floating around before her as though she were an idiot, then asked Jiang Li, "Who is she?"

"She's the same as you two," Jiang Li said casually.

"..."

Good heavens. Zhu Zhuyun had thought that, aside from her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing, her only rival was that long-legged woman with the scorpion braid from earlier.

She had not expected another beautiful woman to suddenly appear now.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue confirmed that Jiang Li had indeed contracted the Zhu sisters. She nodded in satisfaction and teased him.

"Hey, little Jiang Li, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You really did contract both of them. Nicely done."

"Enough of that for now. Where's Xiao Wu? Why don't I see her?" Jiang Li waved a hand and continued asking Qian Renxue about Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu? She got angry." Qian Renxue gloated. "Who told you to go around flirting with two cats when you already had a rabbit?"

Jiang Li rolled his eyes helplessly.

Wasn't this all your doing?

Though even if Qian Renxue had not egged him on, he would most likely have contracted Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing in the end anyway.

Zhu Zhuyun was still uncertain, but Zhu Zhuqing was different. As long as she was given an immortal herb, her chances of becoming a Title Douluo in the future were practically one hundred percent.

How could he possibly let her go?

"So, she said she wanted to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for a while. Once you reach Heaven Dou City, you can summon her over with your Martial Soul. She won't travel with you anymore," Qian Renxue continued.

"See, little Jiang Li? Compared to her, I'm much better to you, aren't I? Not only do I not mind you finding other women, I even took the initiative to put in a good word for you in front of Xiao Wu."

Jiang Li waved her off. "Give me a break. You, putting in a good word for me? Do you think I don't know you? You must've said plenty of bad things about me to Xiao Wu, right?"

He did not know much about the original Qian Renxue currently disguised as Xue Qinghe in Heaven Dou City.

But this Qian Renxue before him, the one attached to his Martial Soul? After so many years together, how could he not understand her?

She was nothing but a troublemaker. Forget putting in a good word for him before Xiao Wu—perhaps Qian Renxue had said something that angered Xiao Wu and made her leave in a huff.

Back in Notting City, she had bullied Xiao Wu plenty. Yet because she was in a soul form, no matter how much Xiao Wu gritted her teeth in hatred, she could do nothing to Qian Renxue.

As a result, Jiang Li often had to spend time coaxing Xiao Wu.

Still, thanks to that, Xiao Wu's favorability toward him had risen steadily.

Seeing that Jiang Li had exposed her, Qian Renxue did not get angry. Still smiling brightly, she asked, "So what are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do? Obviously, this!"

Jiang Li raised his hand and summoned his Martial Soul, the Summoning Grimoire, then flipped to Xiao Wu's page.

He condensed a ball of pure Soul Power at his fingertip and gently tapped Xiao Wu's name in the Summoning Grimoire.

Whoosh!

Pink specks of light slowly drifted out from the Summoning Grimoire, scattering like fireflies before gathering again in front of Jiang Li.

They gradually formed a humanoid mass of light.

The next moment, the light faded, and Xiao Wu appeared before them as lively as ever.

When Zhu Zhuyun saw this ability of Jiang Li's Martial Soul, her expression grew solemn. She had long guessed that his Martial Soul abilities were not simple.

But she had never imagined he could directly summon contracted targets using his Martial Soul.

Did that not mean that if a contracted target wanted to betray him, they would not even be able to escape from Jiang Li?

Zhu Zhuqing did not think that much. She only wondered whether, if Jiang Li could summon her this way as well,

that meant that even if they were separated by some accident, she could appear right by his side and be with him as long as he used his Martial Soul ability.

The instant Xiao Wu appeared, the first thing she noticed was Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing standing on either side of Jiang Li.

Without waiting for Jiang Li to speak, she snatched the Summoning Grimoire from his hand.

Then she flipped to the page after her own.

Sure enough, she saw the information on the two women and confirmed that Jiang Li had truly contracted them.

She puffed out her cheeks and pointed at them angrily as she said to Jiang Li, "You already have them. Why did you summon me back?"

All right, that confirmed it. While he had been away, Qian Renxue had definitely badmouthed him in front of Xiao Wu.

Jiang Li immediately shot Qian Renxue a glare before saying to Xiao Wu, "Because I can't lose you, Sister Xiao Wu~"

That single "Sister Xiao Wu" instantly delighted her, but she still restrained herself and asked Jiang Li, "Then tell me: am I more important, or are those two more important?"

Hearing that, Zhu Zhuyun showed no reaction on the surface, but Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled as she unconsciously moved a little closer to Jiang Li.

Qian Renxue perked up curiously, wanting to hear how Jiang Li would answer Xiao Wu.

"Of course you're all important!" Jiang Li said as though it were only natural. "You're all my contracted partners. You're all my wings."

"But..." Xiao Wu said miserably, "I was here first!"

At that, Qian Renxue could not help jumping in to refute her. "No, little rabbit. I was here first. Don't forget that I'm Jiang Li's future wife, while you're only Jiang Li's pet."

"Of course, if you're willing to call me Sister Xue, I wouldn't mind acknowledging your status as his little wife."

"Go die!" A vein bulged on Xiao Wu's forehead. Her fists clenched tight.

Will you die if you don't provoke me, Qian Renxue?

"Sister Xue."

A cool voice suddenly came from beside Jiang Li.

Qian Renxue: ???

Xiao Wu: ???

Zhu Zhuyun: ???

Jiang Li: ???

Everyone turned their heads together and discovered that the speaker was Zhu Zhuqing.

Their expressions varied wildly.

Xiao Wu's eye twitched furiously. Oh no. She's coming for me.

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression, Qian Renxue realized that things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

Zhu Zhuyun sighed inwardly. As expected of my silly little sister.

Qian Renxue had clearly only said that to tease Xiao Wu, yet Zhu Zhuqing had answered so earnestly?

Jiang Li reached out and rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head. This little cat's reaction had truly taken him by surprise. He had not expected her to have such an adorable side.

"I... I..."

With everyone looking at her, Zhu Zhuqing's face immediately flushed red.

She lowered her head and hid in Jiang Li's arms, not daring to meet anyone's gaze.

She also regretted it a little. How had she carelessly blurted out what was in her heart?

Then she secretly raised her head and glanced at Jiang Li.

What would he think?

Perhaps because she had lacked love since childhood, Zhu Zhuqing did not actually mind how many women Jiang Li had around him. Nor did she mind whether she was his little wife or his principal wife.

What she wanted had always been the sense of security Jiang Li gave her. As long as she could stay by Jiang Li's side, that was enough.

That was why, whether Jiang Li had contracted Zhu Zhuyun or Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu had appeared, she had not shown any opposition or dissatisfaction.

"Very good. I acknowledge you as my little sister. From now on, you are Jiang Li's number one little wife, officially stamped and approved by me."

Qian Renxue was very satisfied with Zhu Zhuqing's reaction. After all, who would not love such an obedient and sensible little cat?
