"Ugh—"
Seeing Xiao Wu still resistant.
Tang San could only shake his head helplessly.
Since he returned from his break, he hadn't seen Tang Hao's shadow.
After all, he had painstakingly raised him for several years.
And there was blood family affection...
His heart was naturally full of reluctance.
He wanted to find a younger sister to fill this void, but there was no progress.
The first time he brought up this topic at the dinner table.
He was sternly rejected by Xiao Wu, who even splashed a bowl of chili water on his face.
He hadn't cultivated his Purple Demon Eye for several days.
Since Xiao Wu quickly admitted her mistake and apologized, Tang San naturally didn't dwell on it.
He was too abrupt.
After several subsequent suggestions, Xiao Wu didn't agree, though she didn't resort to violence.
"Tang Xiaosan, did you hear me? I'll only be your older sister!"
Xiao Wu bounced on the flatbed cart.
Looking at Tang San, she sneered in her heart, thinking he was dark, ugly, and weak.
"Xiao Wu, I heard you."
Tang San staggered, trying his best to steady the flatbed cart with his arms.
"It's good that you heard me, be careful."
Xiao Wu sat down again, yawned, and offered some timely concern.
"If you can't hold on, then this bet can be called off."
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I can hold on. Just treat it as exercise."
Tang San pulled the flatbed cart, slowly climbing the slope.
"Hmph! Whatever you want. If you collapse later, I won't be responsible."
Xiao Wu turned her face away, not even looking.
After playing for a year.
Xiao Wu's brain seemed to have been enlightened, and she had basically mastered the secret of playing with Tang San.
Occasional laughter and gentle comfort.
Earned Tang San's favor.
Then, using Tang San's goodwill, and his nature of not making excessive bets.
She gently tormented him with bets after sparring.
Sometimes when she told him to stop.
He would become even more energetic, even feeling that she was treating him specially.
Because Xiao Wu never mentioned anything about calling off the bet when she played games with others.
Xiao Wu grinned triumphantly, glad that she hadn't wasted her time reading books in the previous years.
She was also grateful to that unweaned little brat.
Who often took her to read some romance and intrigue books.
Now they came in handy.
She had even put them into practice.
She wondered if the Holy Son liked the sweet girl type, she was very good at it now.
Speaking of which, has that little brat been weaned yet?
Just as Xiao Wu's thoughts were wandering.
Tang San still didn't give up and tried again.
"Xiao Wu, if you become my younger sister, I will protect you."
"With all my strength, anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my corpse first."
"And those fun hidden weapons—"
"Stop, stop!"
Xiao Wu waved her hand impatiently, turned around to look at Tang San.
Enduring her discomfort, she pouted.
And said unhappily:
"Are you saying that if I don't become your younger sister, you won't protect me?"
"Of course not! What I mean is—"
Before Tang San could finish explaining, Xiao Wu interrupted him.
"Then that's it!"
"Since that's not the case, why should this Xiao Wu-jie bother to become your younger sister?"
"Tang Xiaosan, you should just give up."
"It's more practical to call me 'jie,' aren't you short of money?"
"Xiao Wu-jie can lend you some to use first."
Xiao Wu smiled.
Fully displaying her delicate and lovely appearance, her words also carried a playful meaning.
She knew that Tang San had some inexplicable pride.
And would not lower himself just to borrow the gold soul coins in her hand.
As expected.
Tang San shook his head.
"Let's forget about borrowing money, I'll take care of it."
"Alright then, remember to tell me if you need anything."
Xiao Wu didn't force it.
She had a lot of gold soul coins, and she had the final say on how much to lend.
"Thank you, Xiao Wu..."
Tang San didn't talk about taking in a younger sister anymore.
"Save it, I don't like hearing these empty words all the time."
Xiao Wu cupped her cheeks and rolled her eyes.
"Haha..."
Tang San couldn't help but laugh.
Who told Xiao Wu to often pay out of her own pocket to bring him a big lunch?
Looking at the hillside that was about to be climbed.
Tang San tentatively asked:
"Xiao Wu... is it really okay for you not to go home?"
"Hmph! What could be wrong?"
Xiao Wu's pretty face collapsed, but she didn't lose her aggrieved expression. She hugged her knees, revealing her true feelings, and complained in disappointment:
"I want to go back, but he doesn't want me to."
"Xiao Wu..."
Tang San stopped, looking back at Xiao Wu's aggrieved, longing appearance.
His heart felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"What's the use of saying sorry! Pull your cart properly."
Xiao Wu wiped away the tears in her eyes and scolded Tang San coquettishly.
She was also revealing her true feelings now.
It was all Tang San's fault, otherwise she would still be lying in the Holy Son's arms, being a bunny.
"..."
Tang San nodded lightly.
He also knew that he had touched a sore spot, so he didn't say anything more.
Now he was even more certain that Xiao Wu was not a commoner.
But despite having no worries about food and clothing, and being generous, she ended up in a work-study position.
Combined with her not going home now.
Tang San thought.
Xiao Wu probably had a conflict with her family and ran away from home out of stubbornness.
—
"Achoo!"
In the Papal Hall.
Hu Liena, who was assisting Qian Renjue in handling matters, couldn't help but sneeze.
She sniffed and looked strange.
Qian Renjue stopped writing, looked up curiously and asked, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold, Nana?"
"No, Senior Brother, someone must be thinking about Nana."
Hu Liena shook her head.
She smiled sweetly at Qian Renjue and handed him the stack of documents.
"It's good that you're not."
Qian Renjue took the stack of documents.
Hu Liena smiled and said, "Senior Brother, please take a look. Did Nana approve them correctly?"
"Yes, come over here too, so I can correct you."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
He patted the small stool placed in the gap between the Papal throne and the desk.
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Hu Liena happily squeezed next to Qian Renjue and sat down, her body slightly touching his.
She looked dotingly at Qian Renjue, who was working seriously.
"Look here carefully, there are no words on my face."
Qian Renjue poked the little fox's face with his pen.
"Awoo~"
Hu Liena covered her face, leaned on Qian Renjue's arm, and said softly:
"Senior Brother, you speak, Nana is listening."
"Well, don't think about anything else when you work in the future. Put aside personal feelings when you're working."
Qian Renjue taught.
"Yes, yes."
Hu Liena nodded heavily, feeling inexplicably excited.
So.
She and Senior Brother have private feelings!
She can't put this aside, she learned this to help Senior Brother.
Without saying much.
Qian Renjue corrected the documents that Hu Liena had approved with his pen.
It had been three days since the soul hunt.
The day after he came back and woke up, Bibi Dong handed over the affairs of the Papal Hall to him to handle.
And Bibi Dong began to cultivate in seclusion again.
It is worth mentioning that.
Qian Renjue had already passed the plan given by the system.
To refine the bead left by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger into a soul tool with divinity.
As for the materials needed for refining.
Qian Renjue directly threw in the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
The materials are definitely sufficient.
At the same time, there was also a bowl of his fresh blood and a few drops of heart's blood.
And tonight is the moment to witness a miracle!
I wish you all a happy life!
