"Let me tell you about it," Cao De murmured beside Xiao Wu's ear. The more Xiao Wu listened, the redder her face became, and two words blurted out of her mouth: "Pervert." To think it could even be done this way, Xiao Wu's brain briefly lagged. Yet upon second thought, that kind of overwhelming, tumultuous turbulence was truly more than she could endure. Solving it with the method Cao De had just mentioned felt like it would be much easier. After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Wu nodded. Having changed into a new skin, Xiao Wu's originally tiny dirt slope had now evolved into a hill. Cao De explored it inch by inch. Rip! Telling a story. The hill saw the light of day once more. Above this hill, there was nothing at all; it was entirely covered in white snow, making the hill appear even more sacred. Curiously, upon this hill, pink trees had actually been planted. What a pity, though, that these trees lacked branches, trunks, and leaves, standing there entirely alone as a solitary entity. A tree just like this also existed on another hill, and the two hills were not very far apart. Suddenly, a gigantic carrot plummeted from the sky. The tip of the carrot probed and tested the strange pink tree, presumably wishing to figure out what kind of structure this bizarre pink tree possessed. [Xiao Wu to host... Obtained Emotion Points: 10] Likely growing tired of this, the gigantic carrot found a new game. Passing between the hills, the hills suddenly drew close together, as if attempting to squeeze and drive away this uninvited guest through the method of compression. The gigantic carrot seemed to grow gradually accustomed to this squeezing, actually shuttling back and forth between the two hills to carry out this provocation. The carrot was still too arrogant; the continuous compression made it pay a price, and a large amount of juices were squeezed out. This carrot actually had an abundance of juices-how bizarre. The scattered juices splashed across the ravines of the hills, flinging themselves everywhere. [Xiao Wu to host... Obtained Emotion Points: 10] The snow-clad hill was now sprinkled with milk once more. One could only say it possessed a rather unique flavor. The story of the hills concluded here. Cao De suddenly recalled the story of grinding an iron pestle into a needle, where the iron pestle constantly rubbed against a stone, creating quite a deep ravine in the stone. Lowering his head to look, Cao De also formed an idea in his mind. Perhaps he could make Xiao Wu's grow larger; he still needed to put in some effort. As for whether the iron pestle would turn into a needle, wanting to grind rebar into a needle was simply too laughable. [Xiao Wu to host... Obtained Emotion Points: 10] Hearing the prompt, Cao De turned his head to look. Sure enough, the Innate Sacred Body remained the Innate Sacred Body. Recalling the system prompt from just moments ago, it felt rather wonderful. "Brother, cough, cough, cough." Xiao Wu went into a fit of coughs. She felt as though she was about to break down; she had accidentally swallowed some fishy-tasting milk just a moment ago. This flavor was truly difficult to accept. "Brother, l-let's rest," Xiao Wu said, lacking all strength. She didn't even want to move now, wishing only to lie there like a corpse. Earlier, Cao De had seemingly exerted all the effort, yet she had no idea why she was so exhausted. It had triggered a tsunami, making the milk spill all over the ground once more. Seeing Xiao Wu in this state, Cao De felt a twinge of pity. "Sleeping like this isn't comfortable. I'll carry you to wash up." Cao De gently wiped away the remnants from Xiao Wu's face. "No need." Xiao Wu hurriedly shook her head. Should bathing involve another round of that, she really would die. "Be good, trust me. Just a proper bath." Cao De wore an earnest expression. "Fine then, washing only." Xiao Wu burrowed into Cao De's arms, searching for a comfortable spot. "Stop rubbing around like that, your face is so dirty," Cao De said in mild disgust. "You're the one who made it like this, and you still have the nerve to blame me. It's all rubbed on you." Xiao Wu began wiping the stains off using Cao De's clothes. Cao De gently pinched the soft flesh around Xiao Wu's waist to launch a counterattack. The two of them carried on with their lighthearted bantering. The sound of splashing water rang out. "What's wrong with you? It got bigger again." "Pay no attention to it, just wash properly." "Really, no need?" "If you touch me wildly again, I'm going to break my promise." In the end, he kept his promise. After washing up, Xiao Wu rested comfortably in Cao De's embrace, sleeping quite sweetly. This sleep lasted directly until morning. Xiao Wu groggily opened her eyes, her entire body feeling limp and lacking even an ounce of strength. Recalling Cao De's various actions from earlier, Xiao Wu's face grew burning hot. "Wasn't he the one constantly moving?! Why am I so exhausted?" Xiao Wu issued a soul-searching question, yet no one answered her query. "Xiao Wu, get up and wash. We're going to Shrek Academy today." Cao De placed the breakfast on the table. He walked over to Xiao Wu and watched her eyelashes flutter slightly. The act of feigning sleep was thus exposed in all its vibrant clarity. Cao De could not help but find it amusing. "I bought a carrot feast today: steamed carrots, boiled carrots, and your absolute favorite stir-fried carrots. Since you're fast asleep, I suppose I'll just have to eat them first." Having spoken, Cao De feigned walking away. Hearing the footsteps recede, Xiao Wu first rolled over, then narrowed her eyes into a slit to observe the direction of the dining table. She needed to confirm whether Cao De was tricking her. If he was, she would get up; if not, she intended to sleep all day. Yet the direction of the dining table lacked Cao De's figure. Xiao Wu glanced around her surroundings, and then their gazes met. Seeing Cao De looking at her with a beaming smile, Xiao Wu buried her head completely. Cao De must have seen every bit of her clumsy feigned sleep from just now. How mortifying! U´꓃` U "Get up and wash." Cao De sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Xiao Wu into his arms. Xiao Wu tightly clutched the blanket. "You've already seen everything, what are you still hiding for?" Cao De asked with a smile. "I need to change my clothes, go away." Xiao Wu buried her head deep into Cao De's chest. It would have been better had Cao De said nothing, but the moment he spoke, the memories from before bed began their assault-the shameful actions, the milk spilled all over her body. The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She would never sleep with Cao De again! Xiao Wu vowed in her heart. "These are new clothes, just like yesterday's." Cao De retrieved an identical set from the System Space, except the silk stockings had been changed to ones with white patterns. "Step outside first." Watching the ostrich-like Xiao Wu, Cao De had no choice but to exit the room. Along the small path outside Suotuo City, flowers bloomed in clusters and sunlight filtered through the tree canopy onto the path, adding a touch of elegance. Xiao Wu held Cao De's hand as she walked with a slight limp, pinching Cao De's waist every now and then. "Shall I carry you on my back?" Cao De was someone who dared to take responsibility for his actions. What he did himself, he would take charge of. "We'll reach the academy soon. What if the others see us? This is all your fault," Xiao Wu complained angrily. "My fault, my fault." Cao De decisively admitted defeat; one had to pamper their own little wife. Holding hands, the two arrived at Shrek Academy, instantly pulling a hundred percent rate of turning heads. Cao De naturally possessed a somewhat ruffian yet handsome air, and donning the new clothes Xiao Wu bought for him transformed his temperament entirely. Needless to say, Xiao Wu's aura upon donning her battle garb was even more striking. "Mubai, take these few people to test their soul power." An old man with graying hair pointed toward Cao De and Xiao Wu standing at the back of the crowd. He was old and shrewd, perceiving at a glance that Cao De and Xiao Wu came from extraordinary backgrounds (their clothes were expensive, after all). Granting them special treatment now might mean future support for Shrek Academy, allowing it to take flight instantly. Dai Mubai tidied his clothes, ruffled his hair a few times, and walked toward the duo of Xiao Wu and Cao De. "Hello, let me solemnly introduce myself. My name is Dai Mubai, an upperclassman of Shrek Academy," Dai Mubai said politely. "Brother, shall we change academies instead? Even he can be an upperclassman, this academy..." Xiao Wu whispered to Cao De. Though spoken softly, every single word reached Dai Mubai's ears without omission. Dai Mubai's facial muscles twitched, yet he still struggled to maintain his refined and cultured facade.
