Chapter 162: The Law of True Fragrance

Chapter 161: The Law of True Fragrance

When Xiao Wu finished reminiscing and wanted to talk to Bai Yu, she found that this scoundrel was completely unreserved and had already lain down.

"Hey, Bai Yu, do you really like sleeping that much? It's not even dark yet, what kind of sleep are you getting?"

"And I've noticed you're really lazy. I've known you for so long, and I've never seen you cultivate. How did you get such a high cultivation level? It's really outrageous!"

"Hey! I'm talking to you, did you hear me or not?"

Xiao Wu stood by the bed, hands on her hips, muttering incessantly.

Bai Yu sighed, turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, and gave her a dead fish eye.

"Xiao Tu Zi, do you think recording spirit power routes is easy? It's extremely mentally exhausting! I'm genuinely tired and need to rest!"

Xiao Wu pouted, her face full of disbelief. How could someone who could fight a Title Douluo be exhausted just by standing for a day? He must be fooling her!

"I'm not listening, don't try to trick me. This is my home, and what I say goes. I want you to chat with me!"

Bai Yu was somewhat speechless. This Xiao Tu Zi, give her an inch and she'll take a mile. Immediately, Bai Yu lifted one side of the blanket and opened his arms to Xiao Wu, signaling her to come in.

"You... what do you want to do? I'm telling you, this is my territory. If I just shout, Da Ming and Er Ming will come over."

Xiao Wu saw Bai Yu's actions and immediately took a step back, her hands protecting her chest.

Bai Yu rolled his dead fish eyes upwards and said irritably:

"Do you want to chat or not? If you want to chat, come in. Besides, there's only one bed in this room. If you don't squeeze in with me, where will you sleep? Go sleep on the grass outside?"

Xiao Wu had some hesitation in her eyes. She didn't mind sleeping on the grass, but she really did want someone to chat with.

And to be honest, she didn't feel any aversion to Bai Yu's invitation; in fact, she quite liked the feeling of being held by him.

Because after she transformed from a Spirit Beast and went to the human World, she inherently lacked a sense of security.

Later, Tang San barely gave her some security, until she discovered that this scoundrel actually had a Title Douluo father behind him, who had been watching her.

This made Xiao Wu panic, feeling that human society was too treacherous, and she wanted to go home!

During that time, she was not only afraid of Tang Hao but also of Bai Yu, because both of them knew her identity, which left her unable to resist.

But after slowly getting to know him, she also found that Bai Yu truly had no designs on her spirit ring or Spirit Bone. At most... he had designs on her legs?

This gradually freed her from fear, and she regained her former liveliness, until today when Bai Yu held her in his arms, making her feel a long-lost sense of security, just like when her mother was still alive.

"Hmm... first, let's be clear, I can come in, but don't mess around. I just want to chat with you, don't push your luck!"

Xiao Wu thought for a long time, finally gritting her teeth and stomping her foot, making a show of laying down three rules, then burrowed into Bai Yu's embrace.

As she thought, she had already had the idea of giving in to Bai Yu before, and now it was just putting it into action at most.

As for the vows she made in front of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, they were long forgotten. What vows? That's called 'true fragrance'!

Bai Yu held the slightly stiff Xiao Wu, his eyes slightly closed, and said:

"What do you want to talk about? You speak, I'll listen. Don't worry, I won't fall asleep. I'll definitely listen until you're finished."

Xiao Wu's mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of distrust appeared in her eyes. It was fine when Bai Yu didn't say anything, but once he did, she couldn't help but feel he would fall asleep any moment!

However, Xiao Wu didn't dwell on it. She just wanted an audience now, someone who could listen to her words and calm her emotions.

"Bai Yu, do you know? This small wooden house and courtyard, it's said that my father and mother built them together after they got together."

"But I've never seen my father. My mother said he was gone before I was born, so it was always just me and my mother living here."

"Later, my mother, like me, couldn't pass the heavenly tribulation and chose to transform into a human, but she still loved me, so during that time, I was very happy!"

"I thought I would always be that happy, with my mother, Da Ming, and Er Ming accompanying me. I had even planned that when I couldn't pass the heavenly tribulation, I would, like my mother, transform into a human and use my remaining time to see the human World."

"But then disaster struck, and all my illusions were shattered. A group of human Spirit Masters came here."

"They found me and my mother and pursued us. My mother, to protect me, chose to sacrifice herself to the enemy, using the light of her sacrifice to block them and allow me to escape."

"After that, this place, for me, not only held happy memories of the past but also painful ones."

"So I chose to transform early and go to the human World, partly to find my former enemies and see if there was a chance for revenge."

"On the other hand, it was also to escape from here, because every time I see this small courtyard, it makes me feel pain."

As Xiao Wu spoke, tears unconsciously streamed down her face, and Bai Yu's expression at this moment was also somewhat complex.

He raised his hand and gently wiped Xiao Wu's face, while inwardly cursing this damned cultivation system.

In Bai Yu's view, if there is wisdom, then there are sentient beings. Different races being enemies is normal.

But that is a struggle due to racial opposition, where victory and defeat depend on one's own methods. However, the current situation is that humans both despise and rely on Spirit Beasts; without Spirit Beasts, the human cultivation system would be useless.

And to be honest, whether human or Spirit Beast, as long as they have wisdom, they possess multifaceted personalities. Some are bloodthirsty and violent, while others are content and prefer quiet over action.

Someone is quietly staying at home, and you run over and kill them. How incredibly presumptuous!

"Alright, don't cry anymore. Even if you cry your eyes out, it won't help you get revenge. It's better to cultivate diligently in the future; maybe there'll be a chance then."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Xiao Wu glared at him angrily. Revenge? Revenge my ass! Don't think she didn't know that the group of people back then belonged to your Spirit Hall!

Revenge? Her strength is tens of thousands of miles behind yours, the Saint Son. When and how could she ever get revenge?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu felt that her previous decision was somewhat rash. Not only could she not get revenge, but she actually gave in to the Saint Son of the enemy's faction. How could she face her mother?

Although Bai Yu was just a child back then and knew nothing, ultimately, they were still on the same side. Xiao Wu then turned around, her back to Bai Yu, indicating she didn't want to see him.

"Heh heh, what, are you throwing a tantrum now? Oh, right, since we're sleeping in the same bed now, I guess you're my Xiao Tu Zi, right?"

"I said before that I give gifts to my people. For you, I won't give Immortal Herb. As long as you cultivate well, it's better than any Immortal Herb."

"Hmm... how about I revive your mother in the future? You wouldn't object to that condition, would you?"
