Brother and Sister or Sister and Brother

Bang—

Ye Chen was sent flying off the bed by Xiao Wu's punch.

"Damn, Xiao Wu, are you trying to rob and murder me?!"

If he hadn't been cultivating the Creation Body Tempering Art for nearly a year and greatly improved his physical constitution, that punch alone would have been enough to leave him bedridden for days.

"Hmph, who told you to spout nonsense!"

Xiao Wu wrinkled her cute little nose, but she also realized that Ye Chen's hide seemed even tougher than before.

Xiao Wu had once considered Ye Chen a weakling. But one time, when Ye Chen had slept badly and pressed his thigh onto her, Xiao Wu had given him a fierce lesson.

It was also after that incident that Xiao Wu discovered that although Ye Chen's Soul Power level was not high, his endurance and strength were quite impressive. Moreover, he recovered from injuries very quickly.

You asked where Ye Chen's injuries came from? Naturally, they came from Xiao Wu beating him up after he crossed the line in his sleep at night.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen took Xiao Wu and left Notting Academy, heading home.

"Xiao Chen, is your home in Notting City?"

Having left Notting Academy, Xiao Wu was in an especially cheerful mood, practically skipping with every step.

"Yeah, in the south of the city."

"By the way, Xiao Chen, aren't you an orphan? How are you so rich?"

Remembering something, Xiao Wu immediately asked Ye Chen with a curious expression.

During this school year at Notting Academy, Xiao Wu had eaten delicious food every day. The expenses must have been considerable, yet Ye Chen showed no signs of going broke at all.

If Ye Chen knew Xiao Wu was trying to eat him into bankruptcy, he would definitely laugh.

Was he, Ye the wealthy tycoon, really going to be eaten into bankruptcy?

Forget eating and drinking—Ye Chen had enough Gold Soul Coins stored in the System Shop to buy the entire Notting Academy several times over.

Of course, Notting Academy was basically impossible to buy. After all, it was a Junior Soul Master Academy established by the Heaven Dou Empire.

"That's a secret. Anyway, you'll never eat me broke."

"Hmph, fine if you won't say. Don't get cocky. Since we're on break, I'm going to eat lots of delicious food and bankrupt you!"

"Mm-hm. When I'm so poor I can't afford food, we'll go beg on the streets together!"

Ye Chen nodded and said it with complete seriousness.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Sister Xiao Wu would never go begging!"

"Don't worry. No matter how much you eat, you won't bankrupt me."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Xiao Chen, tell me honestly. Did you find some treasure?"

Suddenly, Xiao Wu leaned close and whispered.

"...What are you thinking? Treasure? If you can, find one for me too."

Ye Chen rolled his eyes. This little rabbit really had an overactive imagination.

"Could it be that you have some super-rich relative?"

"I'm an orphan. Alright, enough of that. We're here."

Ye Chen pointed to a small courtyard ahead.

"This is your home?"

The small courtyard was not lavish, and since no one had cleaned it for a long time, the front gate was covered in dust.

"Yeah, but I haven't been back in almost a year. If we don't clean it up, it definitely won't be fit to live in."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiao Wu will help you clean!"

Xiao Wu patted her chest and promised.

After nearly half a day, the two of them finally finished cleaning the house.

"Ah, I'm exhausted..."

Lying on the soft sofa, Xiao Wu spoke weakly.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Wu, you're exaggerating. It was just a thorough cleaning. How could it wear you out?"

Ye Chen complained.

"Hmph, I'm tired. Hurry up and bring out the Ice Cream, or Sister Xiao Wu won't forgive you!"

Xiao Wu threatened him with a fierce expression.

Ever since one particularly hot day when Ye Chen had treated Xiao Wu to Ice Cream, this little rabbit had fallen in love with the sweet, icy treat.

"Here, here."

It was only Ice Cream. Though delicious, it was not expensive. In the System Shop, one Ice Cream cost only a few Copper Soul Coins, and when purchased, it was as if it had just been taken out of a refrigerator.

"Mmm, so delicious..."

Even as she ate the Ice Cream, Xiao Wu did not forget to praise it.

At dusk, Ye Chen and Xiao Wu sat on the second-floor balcony, watching the fiery red sunset.

"Xiao Wu, do you have any family?"

"No..."

Da Ming and Er Ming: We aren't human!

"Then I don't have any family either. How about you become my little sister? Your birthday is at the end of August, while mine is at the beginning of August. It works out perfectly for me to be the older brother."

"Dream on. I'm Sister Xiao Wu. I don't want to be a little sister! You can be the little brother instead."

Xiao Wu tilted her head and immediately retorted.

"Xiao Wu, if I'm the older brother, I'll protect you."

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Chen, does Sister Xiao Wu need your protection? With those skinny arms and legs of yours, even two more of you wouldn't be my match."

Xiao Wu said teasingly.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me. Once I become a Spirit Master, my cultivation speed will definitely soar!"

"Really?"

Xiao Wu looked curious. This little weakling Ye Chen wanted to take off?

Although Ye Chen's Level 3 Innate Soul Power was considered pretty good in the eyes of others, in the eyes of Xiao Wu, a genius with the equivalent of Innate Full Soul Power, it was not much different from being worthless.

"How about this? Let's make an agreement. From now on, whoever has the higher Soul Power level will be the older brother or older sister, while whoever has the lower Soul Power level will be the younger brother or younger sister! The younger sibling must listen to the older sibling!"

"Really?"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

Did this little weakling Ye Chen really think his Soul Power level could surpass hers?

Xiao Wu was confident that with the current ten-level gap in their Soul Power, even if she lay around doing nothing for three years, Ye Chen still would not be able to catch up no matter how hard he tried.

"Mm-hm."

Ye Chen nodded.

"Alright, let's pinky swear. Pinky swear, hang by the hook, no changing for a hundred years! Otherwise, you're a puppy!"

"No, a hundred years is too short. I want it never to change!"

"Haha, little brother Xiao Chen, hurry up and call me Sister Xiao Wu. You've never called me Sister Xiao Wu before!"

After pinky swearing, Xiao Wu immediately beamed with joy.

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, how about I give you a gift?"

This little rabbit's attention was easily diverted. Ye Chen planned to change the subject. In any case, he would never call her Sister Xiao Wu, or it would become an embarrassing memory for the future.

"What gift?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Close your eyes!"

"I have to close my eyes too? Hehe, if I'm not satisfied with the gift later, Sister Xiao Wu will get angry!"

"Mm-hm, hurry and close them."

At that, Xiao Wu closed her eyes.

Ye Chen glanced at the System Shop's balance of over thirty million Gold Soul Coins, then looked at an item that was crucially important to Xiao Wu.
