"Eat... eat it?!"
Hearing Ye Qiu's instruction, Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, looking reluctant.
"Yeah, if you don't eat this thing, are you going to save it for the New Year?" Ye Qiu frowned, giving Xiao Wu an annoyed look.
"But... but I want..."
Xiao Wu hesitated.
Looking at the red flower in her hands, she felt a bit reluctant. She felt... this flower had a special meaning, representing her unwavering loyalty to Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu's trust and affection for her.
"Silly rabbit."
Seeing Xiao Wu still hesitating, Ye Qiu couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his hands to cup her fair and tender cheeks, making Xiao Wu look him in the eye, and gently asked, "With me by your side, why do you keep staring at the flower? Do you prefer this flower to keep you company, or me?"
"Of course... of course it's you... Mmh!"
Xiao Wu's voice was hurried. In her heart, Ye Qiu was naturally the most important.
"Then there you go!"
Before Xiao Wu could finish speaking, Ye Qiu slowly leaned down, captured those delicate red lips, and savored them carefully. From time to time, he heard Xiao Wu's comfortable hums and soft cries by his ear.
"Ying~"
Feeling Ye Qiu's lips repeatedly pressing against her own, Xiao Wu's heart beat faster and faster. Her long eyelashes fluttered, creating waves of misty autumn gazes... Copying him, she slowly and awkwardly responded.
After a long while.
Only when Xiao Wu found it difficult to breathe and her body couldn't stand steady did Ye Qiu finally let her go.
Xiao Wu felt dizzy, leaning in Ye Qiu's arms. This was the longest time Ye Qiu had bullied her. A flush appeared on her small face, and her beautiful eyes looked like they were slightly intoxicated. Even though Ye Qiu had stopped, her two pink and tender cherry lips were still slightly parted, glistening with crystal-clear saliva, revealing her fresh, adorable rabbit tongue within, moist and tempting.
Ye Qiu pinched Xiao Wu's chin, making her look at him. He smacked his lips and said softly, "Now, can you be obedient and eat it properly?"
"Y-yes... I'll listen to you."
Xiao Wu's face was flushed like peach blossoms, her voice soft and gentle, responding somewhat dazedly. She lay in Ye Qiu's arms, her face showing infatuation.
"Then hurry up."
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly and released his embrace.
Xiao Wu stumbled, almost falling, but Ye Qiu caught her. She still leaned against Ye Qiu's chest.
"Ye Qiu~ I... I need to rest for a bit..." Xiao Wu's face was flushed, her steps light, appearing slightly drunk. Having never been kissed for so long, she felt a bit short of breath.
"Alright then."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly and didn't tease her. After all, he had also explored for a long time and many times with another novice, Dugu Yan, to gain such eloquence.
Looking at this somewhat clumsy yet adorable rabbit, he couldn't help but take a couple of bites on her slightly baby-fat cheeks. Then he helped her tidy up her messy clothes. There was nothing he could do about it; it was a bad habit developed from sticking close to the fully developed Dugu Yan, always wanting to grab something.
...
Half an hour passed.
Xiao Wu sat down under Ye Qiu's gaze, holding the Yearning Flower in her hand. After looking at Ye Qiu with a blush, she no longer hesitated and brought the red flower to her mouth.
The immortal herb seemed to have intelligence. It suddenly turned into a red stream of light and entered Xiao Wu's slightly opened small mouth.
Xiao Wu was startled for a moment, then quickly closed her eyes.
Ye Qiu stood beside her and used his Insight Eye to scan the area again.
Only then did he seriously observe the changes in Xiao Wu's body.
The Yearning Flower is the king of flowers.
Consuming this herb has the effect of being as immortal as heaven and earth. It can at least increase soul power by more than ten levels and will completely transform the body. It also has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh and bone. More importantly, it can help soul beasts who have taken human form conceal their aura.
This ability, under the current circumstances known to Tang Hao, naturally didn't have much effect. But when he died and took this secret to hell, it would be different!
Under Ye Qiu's gaze.
Xiao Wu was like a cluster of pink flower cores, and the petals of the Yearning Flower bloomed around her. Bloody streams of light pulsed on her skin, and the circulation of blood was visible to the naked eye. The Yearning Flower was transforming Xiao Wu's body, helping her move towards becoming human.
Purple Demon Eye!
A dazzling light flowed in Ye Qiu's eyes. Even the Purple Demon Eye at the Mustard realm couldn't see Xiao Wu's true form clearly.
Time passed.
An immortal herb that recognizes its master is truly different. In just over half an hour, Xiao Wu had already finished refining the Yearning Flower!
Her pink rabbit ears stood up, and a pinkish-white tail appeared at her lower back. She even gained a soul ring beneath her, two yellow and two purple, already becoming a Soul Sect! In terms of cultivation, she had surpassed Ye Qiu in one fell swoop.
Xiao Wu opened her eyes.
Enchanting bloody colors bloomed in her eyes, which were miniature Yearning Flowers. As the light faded, the surrounding flowers closed and hid within Xiao Wu's body.
Looking at the still somewhat bewildered Xiao Wu, a hint of amazement flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes. He squatted down and gently lifted Xiao Wu's fair, smooth chin.
"Silly rabbit, snap out of it."
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment. After seeing the figure in front of her clearly, her beautiful face flushed, and her eyes were filled with excitement. She rushed straight towards Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu!"
"Damn it..."
Ye Qiu was suddenly tackled to the ground by Xiao Wu's unexpected embrace.
"Ye Qiu~"
Xiao Wu pressed Ye Qiu to the ground. Her two soft hands gently rested on his chest. Her crimson eyes, looking at him, were full of love. She softly called out Ye Qiu's name, gazing at him quietly.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Ye Qiu's back of the head hurt a little. He looked helplessly at the little rabbit who had been pressing on him for a while without any other movement.
"Oh! I... I'll get up now..." Xiao Wu was in a hurry, wanting to get up but hesitated for a moment. With a blush, she quickly pecked Ye Qiu's lips lightly, like a little girl who had stolen candy. A smile spilled from the corners of her mouth, and she gently helped Ye Qiu up.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and rubbed the back of his head.
"Ye Qiu, I didn't mean to." Seeing Ye Qiu rubbing the back of his head, Xiao Wu also reacted. Just now, she had indeed heard a crisp sound. She quickly reached out to take over Ye Qiu's work, gently rubbing Ye Qiu's head.
Her face was full of concern and a desire to please.
Ye Qiu smiled and took Xiao Wu's little hand.
"Alright, I'm fine... Let's go back to Dorm 7 first. We can talk about anything slowly."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, perfectly playing the role of a wife following her husband's lead.
Between the teaching buildings that had not yet started classes.
A boy and a girl walked out together. The boy had bright eyes and white teeth, extraordinarily handsome. The girl's eyes were like crescent moons, and her two soft hands held the boy's hand tightly, smiling sweetly at him from time to time.
"Silly rabbit, still smiling? I just finished showering, and now I'm dirty again." Ye Qiu gave Xiao Wu an annoyed look. He had been lying on the ground for a long time just now.
"It's okay, Ye Qiu. I'll help you wash all your clothes clean..." Xiao Wu hugged Ye Qiu's arm with a bit of apology, her expression sincere, but the smile on her face couldn't be suppressed no matter what.
Who made Ye Qiu just praise her for becoming more beautiful and better looking?
"Is that so?" Ye Qiu couldn't help but chuckle. He turned his face and leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear, asking teasingly, "What about my body? Will you help me wash it clean too?"
"Ah?!" Xiao Wu's face turned bright red. Looking at Ye Qiu, her expression was conflicted.
Thinking that Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan had already gone deep and almost completely connected, Xiao Wu stiffened her neck, forcefully suppressing her shyness, and stammered, "I... I can do it!"
