Chapter 92: The Hairless Rabbit (Fifth Update)
2024-07-17 Author: Xianyu Wangyue
Aotian couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. It seemed Xiao Wu had truly made up her mind about him helping Zhu Zhuqing.
He thought for a moment and decided that helping Zhu Zhuqing wasn't out of the question.
If he didn't help, Zhu Zhuqing might still be forced by pressure to compromise and forgive Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai had offended Aotian, so how could Aotian let him be happy?
Moreover, Aotian felt a degree of sympathy for Zhu Zhuqing. On her very first day in Soto City, she had stumbled upon her fiancé bringing other girls into a hotel—it was truly pitiable.
Aotian nodded gently at Xiao Wu.
Satisfied, Xiao Wu turned back to Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Trust me, you are the master of your own destiny. To hell with childhood engagements!"
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists tightly, a hopeful expression appearing on her pretty face. She asked, "Xiao Wu, do you really have a way to accelerate my cultivation speed?"
Xiao Wu nodded earnestly. "Of course! Haven't you seen that I've already become a Soul Grandmaster? I do have a method to increase cultivation speed."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat moved, Xiao Wu's expression grew excited, and she continued to egg her on, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance! To hell with Dai Mubai! A woman's fate is hers to decide!"
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze gradually became firm. She nodded slowly and forcefully, saying, "Xiao Wu, then I'm entrusting my destiny to you."
After Xiao Wu's guidance, she had figured things out.
No matter what, she could never forgive Dai Mubai. Even if pressure forced them together, she would never be able to forget what Dai Mubai did today, and she would never be truly happy.
Besides, she and Dai Mubai had no emotional foundation to begin with.
So, with a better choice available, why wouldn't she take it?
The smile on Xiao Wu's face gradually spread. She patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder forcefully and said, "From now on, you're my sister. Anyone who dares to bully you will have to answer to me first!"
Zhu Zhuqing reached out and wiped the tears from her face, and finally, a smile appeared.
The shameless sounds from next door had stopped at some unknown point.
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze softened with relief. She exhaled a long breath, feeling as if a heavy stone that had been weighing on her heart for years had suddenly been lifted.
She recalled how her fate had been arranged since childhood, forcing her into an engagement with Dai Mubai. In her family, no one truly loved or cared for her; all their affection was lavished on her elder sister. And her fiancé was such a bastard. Recalling all these injustices, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.
To hell with fate! I'll be the master of my own life!
Having understood all this, Zhu Zhuqing felt suddenly enlightened. Even the thought of Dai Mubai fooling around with two girls next door didn't make her sad anymore.
In her heart, that man had nothing to do with her. Why should she care?
"Thank you, Xiao Wu," Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully.
"Don't be a stranger! I, Xiao Wu, declare that from now on, you are my sister!" Xiao Wu patted her chest, promising.
"Then will I go with you to Shrek Academy?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Xiao Wu glanced at Aotian and saw him nod. She then said, "You can come with us to Shrek Academy. If you don't want that guy to discover your identity, just keep wearing a mask."
"Okay, Sister Xiao Wu, I'll listen to you," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing call her "Sister Xiao Wu," Xiao Wu was overjoyed. "Sister Na'er, I have a younger sister now too!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Xiao Wu had always missed the feeling back at Nuoding Academy when a large group of people would surround her, calling her "Sister Xiao Wu."
She had thought that after leaving Nuoding Academy, no one would ever call her that again. She never expected to gain a younger sister today.
"Little Sister Zhuqing!" Xiao Wu called out enthusiastically.
Aotian was somewhat speechless. This girl, Xiao Wu, must be desperate to be an older sister.
Xiao Wu said, "Little Sister Zhuqing, as for how to increase your cultivation speed, I'll teach you once we get to Shrek Academy."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Okay."
Now, there was no trace of her previous cold expression. In front of Xiao Wu, she looked docile and obedient. She now relied solely on Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu stood up, pulled Aotian to a corner, and asked in a low voice, "Aotian, can you help Little Sister Zhuqing?"
"‘Little Sister Zhuqing’ already? You've only known each other for a day and you're already so affectionate," Aotian teased.
"She's my sister now, so are you going to help or not?" Xiao Wu asked, shaking Aotian's arm coquettishly.
A thought suddenly flashed through Aotian's mind. His gaze swept up and down Xiao Wu's body as he chuckled, "You're the one who made the boast. It's not impossible for me to help, but you'll have to pay a price."
Seeing Aotian's seemingly greedy gaze, Xiao Wu vigilantly clutched her chest with both hands and said, "You... don't even think about it."
"I haven't even stated my condition, and you've already refused?"
"Then tell me, what is the condition?" Xiao Wu asked cautiously.
"My condition isn't that difficult. Aren't there two beds in here? As long as you sleep with me tonight..."
"Don't even think about getting any ideas about me! Sister Dong'er said I'm still young and can't be corrupted by you," Xiao Wu immediately and sternly refused.
Aotian was somewhat speechless. What in the world had Bibi Dong been teaching this girl?
He said helplessly, "Aren't you overthinking it? If I wanted to cause trouble, I could just go back to find Dong'er. Would I really be interested in an underdeveloped little girl like you, who hasn't even fully grown?"
"You peeked at me while I was bathing?!" Xiao Wu said angrily, her cheeks turning crimson.
Aotian was stunned, unsure why Xiao Wu would suddenly say such a thing. He shook his head in denial. "Am I that kind of pervert?"
"Then... then how would you know I haven't grown... *that*?" Xiao Wu asked, indignant and ashamed.
"I saw it that time you got your period, didn't I?" Aotian said, speechless. "It's only been a little over a month. It wouldn't have grown in that fast, would it?"
"But Sister Dong'er said that girls on the Douluo Continent normally start developing at ten years old. I'm scared... scared I'm different from others," Xiao Wu said, growing sad as she spoke. After all, no one wanted to be an anomaly.
"Actually, hairless rabbits are quite pretty too," Aotian comforted her.
"Really?" Xiao Wu asked hopefully.
"Why would I lie to you?"
What Aotian liked most about this girl was her charmingly naive demeanor, which made him enjoy teasing her.
"Let's get back to business. If you don't agree, then there's nothing to discuss about Zhu Zhuqing," Aotian said lightly, adopting a tough stance.
"You really won't... do *that* to me?"
"I, Aotian, keep my word. If I say I won't touch you, I won't touch you."
Xiao Wu bit her lip, her expression resolute, as if making a very difficult decision. She said, "Alright, I agree. After tonight, you must find a way to increase Zhuqing's cultivation speed."
Aotian snapped his fingers and chuckled, "Deal!"
Zhu Zhuqing watched Xiao Wu and Aotian whispering in the corner, unsure what they were talking about. But not long after, she saw Xiao Wu walk back, beaming.
