Grandmaster's Appearance

Zhao Wuji nodded after hearing Qin Ye's suggestion.

"Right, since Oscar has already obtained his third soul ring, it's about time we headed back."

"Everyone, stay vigilant the whole way. This place is no place to linger; we are returning to Shrek immediately."

"Understood!"

The members of Shrek maintained their formation and moved quickly in the direction of leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, while the physically weak Xiao Wu undoubtedly fell to the very back of the procession.

"Zhuqing, go lead the way and scout ahead. I'll go take care of Xiao Wu; her constitution is weak, and I'm afraid she'll fall behind."

"Mm, alright."

Zhu Zhuqing took over Qin Ye's spot leading the team, and Qin Ye naturally ended up at the tail end with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's face was still flushed at that moment, the Heart Demon Power acting like an invisible feather scratching at the arches of her feet, leaving her body perpetually drained of strength.

"Xiao Wu, do you want to rest a while?"

Qin Ye walked up to Xiao Wu's side and spoke.

"I-I can manage." Xiao Wu forced herself to say.

"Really, Xiao Wu?" Qin Ye's voice seemed to carry a trace of magic. "If you can't keep going, you have to say it. I'm right by your side; trust me, I'll take care of you."

Qin Ye's voice drilled into Xiao Wu's mind, her originally resolute heart instantly wavering, and her pace dropped by an amount visible to the naked eye.

"Teacher Zhao, Xiao Wu seems to have sprained her ankle. I'll check on her, we'll catch up soon."

Zhao Wuji glanced back. "Fine, then hurry up and keep up, don't fall behind for too long."

Zhao Wuji harbored no suspicions and continued leading the team at his own pace. Only Zhu Zhuqing cast a suspicious glance toward Qin Ye, but when she saw Xiao Wu's completely dazed and chaotic pupils, Zhu Zhuqing tacitly chose not to say anything more.

Could it be that Xiao Wu is the first to partake? Sigh, I don't know why, but suddenly I feel so envious.

With a sorrowful sigh, Zhu Zhuqing continued to silently lead the way at the very front.

Xiao Wu and Qin Ye had stopped under a large tree by now. Xiao Wu currently resembled an out-of-control little rabbit, single-mindedly wishing to bury herself in Qin Ye's arms.

"Brother Ye, help me, I really-mm, I can't control myself anymore."

Qin Ye hugged Xiao Wu from behind, pressing his palms against Xiao Wu's soft, fair abdomen.

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, relax, I'm here. There are only the two of us here, don't be shy, I promise no one will find out."

Qin Ye and Xiao Wu hid in a deserted corner, where not even a single soul beast was present in the surrounding area.

"Br-Brother Ye, I feel a bit unwell. Brother Ye, what should I do? Please tell me."

Xiao Wu leaned against Qin Ye's shoulder, closing her eyes completely, her legs pressed tightly together as she could only feel that warm sensation on her lower belly.

"Xiao Wu, relax, adjust your breathing." Qin Ye channeled a trace of gentle Soul Power with his fingertips to help soothe Xiao Wu's discomfort, and she subconsciously relaxed her body.

"Brother Ye, and then?" Xiao Wu's fingers gripped Qin Ye's clothes tightly, her little heart beating wildly with excitement.

"Then relax, Xiao Wu."

"Now, it's time to enjoy properly."

Qin Ye's Soul Power slowly poured into Xiao Wu's body while he gently breathed against her ear.

"Mm, Brother Ye, don't be like this. I-I can't help it."

"Ah."

After a violent shudder, Xiao Wu's delicate body finally stopped swaying, the flush on her face gradually fading until she ultimately collapsed limply into Qin Ye's embrace.

"Brother Ye, you-you did that on purpose."

Xiao Wu leaned weakly in Qin Ye's arms, her mind clearing up considerably for a moment.

"Yes. So, did you like it?"

Qin Ye didn't deny it, instead taking out a towel to wipe Xiao Wu down, leaving her with a final shred of dignity.

"I-liked it."

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, her body went completely limp, her legs unable to support her further as she surrendered herself entirely to Qin Ye.

Ding! Xiao Wu's Corruption Value +13!
Ding! Xiao Wu's Corruption Value has reached 100!
Congratulations to the Master for completely capturing Xiao Wu's heart. After binding Xiao Wu to become a soul ring, two soul skills can be obtained simultaneously.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"

"Brother Ye." Xiao Wu turned half her face away, looking at Qin Ye with a gaze carrying extreme tenderness. "I've already shown you the most secret side of myself, and I've found that this feeling is so wondrous. Once I was released, it felt truly blissful."

"I really wish time would freeze at this exact moment, and I could lean in your arms forever, acting as your very own little rabbit."

"Brother Ye, I like you so much. From now on, I want to stay with you forever."

"If there's another chance, I want to play a bit more excitingly. Next time, it'll be your turn to taste my bewitchment, hehe."

"Mm." Qin Ye nodded in response, then tightened his hold on Xiao Wu's arm slightly. "I won't let you down, Xiao Wu. I promise I'll be a good older brother and love you for a lifetime."

"Then, what about my clothes?"

Xiao Wu playfully stuck her tongue out at Qin Ye. "Brother Ye, my socks are so wet right now, I sweat a lot, but I'm also so tired I'm afraid I can't change my stockings myself."

"So, can you help me, Brother Ye?" Xiao Wu said, casting a seductive wink at Qin Ye at the same time.

"Hehe, gladly, my cutest little bunny. Come on, lean against the big tree and I'll change them for you."

"Mm."

Xiao Wu leaned back against the tree, letting Qin Ye stroke her jade feet. "Brother Ye, it tickles so much, Brother Ye. Not there, haha, Brother Ye, stop touching. Mm, so comfortable, Brother Ye, I really yield to you, mm, well fine, I'll just let you touch. Mm-mm, Brother Ye, you're so bad."

After a round of appreciation, Xiao Wu finally slipped into her new stockings and stood back up.

"Brother Ye, let's go." Filled with energy once more, Xiao Wu skipped along right at the front, as if the one whimpering against the big tree just moments ago had been someone else entirely.

"Haha, alright, wait for me Xiao Wu. If you run so fast, I won't even be able to catch up."

Xiao Wu turned back to make a face, sticking out her little tongue.

"I don't believe it. Hurry up, Brother Ye, everyone is far ahead, we've fallen way behind."

After a spell of chasing, Qin Ye and Xiao Wu quickly caught up with the group. Amidst Qin Ye's ambiguous explanations, everyone tacitly kept silent, though only Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong curled their lips at Qin Ye in jealousy, blaming him for not bringing them along.

Meanwhile, back at Shrek Academy a day later.

Tang San rushed back to Shrek through the night, running into someone who had arrived that same day right at the entrance. The person wore a black academic uniform and exuded a thick scholarly aura from head to toe.

That person was none of the others-it was Yu Xiaogang.
