**Chapter 81: Xiao Wu Contracts a "Terminal Illness"**
**Author: Xianyu Wangyue**
An unknown amount of time passed. When Qian Renxue looked up, Aotian's figure was no longer in the room.
"So Sister Dong'er saw through my secret long ago." Qian Renxue felt a storm of conflicting emotions.
She was moved that Bibi Dong had accepted her, but also saddened that Aotian suddenly had so many other women.
Her beloved Brother Aotian now had several women. Should she accept it?
Looking at the dragon scale in her palm, Qian Renxue understood she only had two choices.
To accept, or not to accept.
After standing still for half an hour, Qian Renxue still had no answer.
She sighed deeply and carefully put away the inverse scale Aotian had given her, keeping it close to her body. She decided that since she couldn't figure it out, she would let time make the choice for her.
If her love could withstand the test of time, what was there to worry about?
...
Inside Heaven Dou City, Aotian, who was secretly observing this scene, sighed. Qian Renxue's stubbornness was just as he had expected.
He believed that Qian Renxue would make a decision sooner or later.
When Aotian returned to Wuhun City, the sun had already risen, and Bibi Dong was still sound asleep.
When one's mind remained in a state of extreme excitement for too long, the resulting mental fatigue was difficult for even a Titled Douluo to bear.
However, this had its benefits. It could temper one's Spiritual Power, and coupled with the potent restoratives Aotian gave her, Bibi Dong's Spiritual Power would increase after each recovery.
Her Spiritual Power had already begun to gradually surpass her own cultivation.
Aotian didn't disturb Bibi Dong's rest. Based on the past few days, Bibi Dong wouldn't wake up until noon.
Thinking of Xiao Wu, Aotian couldn't help but smile. He looked at the newly risen sun and guessed that the girl was probably still sleeping in.
A day's plan is made in the morning; how could she be sleeping in? Aotian wore a faint smile as he pushed on Xiao Wu's door, but it didn't open.
"You think this can stop me?" Aotian shook his head with a chuckle and appeared in Xiao Wu's room, ignoring the distance.
To his surprise, Xiao Wu wasn't on the bed. Instead, there was a patch of semi-dry blood on the bedsheet. Aotian's expression changed slightly. Had something happened to Xiao Wu?
But he was soon stunned, because he saw Xiao Wu's pants and underwear draped over a nearby chair, also stained deep red.
"This little girl has grown up." Aotian was caught between laughter and tears, having almost thought something terrible had happened to Xiao Wu.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water came from the nearby bathroom. Aotian was no longer anxious and sat down by Xiao Wu's bed.
About half an hour later, the sound of water stopped, and Xiao Wu walked out uninhibitedly.
Her face was pale, and her expression was a mixture of fear and discomfort.
Aotian was instantly stunned. Xiao Wu also saw him not far away. Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.
Aotian's heart skipped a beat. He usually didn't pay much attention to Xiao Wu's figure and hadn't realized how well-developed she had become.
Her pair of perfectly formed long legs made Aotian inevitably recall a type of clothing favored by girls in his previous life, a true otaku killer. If paired with a school uniform and short skirt, the destructive Power would be absolutely astonishing.
Unfortunately, the civilization of the Douluo Continent leaned toward ancient customs, and ordinary women wouldn't wear revealing clothing like miniskirts.
Looking at the Xiao Wu before him, Aotian felt no lustful thoughts. After all, the girl was still a bit too young in his eyes. He admitted to being somewhat lecherous, but he wasn't a pervert.
Just as he was wondering if he should design a stockings-and-skirt set for Xiao Wu to wear exclusively for him, her scream finally rang out.
An unprecedentedly sharp shriek erupted from her throat, and she retreated into the bathroom in a flash.
"Aotian, you pervert!" Xiao Wu's mortified and furious voice called out.
"You big pervert! I'm going to tell Sister Dong'er!"
"I clearly locked the door, but you still snuck in. You definitely did it on purpose."
Aotian was speechless. *You'll be mine in the future, so why get so worked up?*
Xiao Wu muttered curses inside, only coming out after a few minutes. Her originally pale face was now flushed crimson with embarrassment, but she glared angrily at Aotian.
Aotian smiled as he watched the angry Xiao Wu, finding it very amusing. He spread his hands, and an irresistible Power instantly acted upon Xiao Wu, pulling her flying toward him.
Xiao Wu cried out, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself in Aotian's embrace.
Being held so intimately by Aotian for the first time, the last trace of anger in Xiao Wu's heart vanished, completely replaced by immense shyness.
Aotian laughed. "You're my little wife. What is there that I can't see? Even if you tell Dong'er, she won't take your side."
Xiao Wu stood stunned. *That's right,* she thought. *I'll belong to Aotian in the future, so what does it matter if he sees me?*
But it was still too shameful. Plus, her pristine body, preserved for over a decade, had just been seen like this.
Although she felt Aotian's words made sense, the immense shame made it difficult for Xiao Wu to face him for a moment.
Suddenly, she caught sight of the deep red stain on the bedsheet behind Aotian. The color drained from her face, turning it deathly pale.
Aotian frowned, quickly released Xiao Wu, and asked, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you when I held you?"
Xiao Wu's smile was bleak as she said sorrowfully, "Aotian, I can't be with you anymore. I've contracted a terminal illness."
Aotian was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What terminal illness?"
"I... I..." Thinking of 'that place', Xiao Wu found it hard to speak.
Seeing Xiao Wu's conflicted expression, Aotian suddenly understood. He pointed at the bedsheet and asked, "Are you referring to this?"
Xiao Wu nodded, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz. "I checked my body. I don't have any internal injuries, but I've inexplicably lost so much blood. Aotian, I've definitely contracted a terminal illness."
As she finished speaking, tears were already glistening in her large eyes. She threw herself into Aotian's embrace and began to sob uncontrollably.
"My stomach hurts so much, Aotian... I'm going to die..."
Aotian was speechless, amused by the girl.
He helped Xiao Wu up, placed his palm on her flat stomach, and a gentle stream of energy flowed into her.
"It's so warm. It doesn't hurt anymore." Xiao Wu's eyes widened in surprise. "Aotian, you can treat this illness?"
Aotian shook his head. "I can't cure it, but I can help you relieve the pain. Your Sister Dong'er has this illness too; I used to help her with it as well."
"Then... will I bleed to death?" Xiao Wu asked tentatively.
Aotian withdrew his hand, affectionately stroked her head, and chuckled, "No, you won't. Look, isn't Dong'er living perfectly fine? When she wakes up, I'll take you to see her, and she can teach you how to deal with this 'illness'."
Xiao Wu patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. "That's great! I really thought I was going to die."
Just as she was speaking, another large gush of warmth surged out. Xiao Wu's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran to the bathroom.
A few minutes later, she poked her head out and asked fearfully, "Aotian, am I... really going to be okay? This is terrifying."
Aotian reassured her, "Trust me, you'll be fine."
He considered whether he should educate Xiao Wu and teach her how to handle it, but after a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea.
Girls were thin-skinned; it would be better to let Bibi Dong handle it.
