Chapter 216: 212. Xiao Wu Is Not Stupid
"Huh?"
Snake Lance was completely confused.
Porcupine also looked at Qian Renxue, he was equally puzzled.
"Oh?"
Qian Renjue turned his gaze toward Snake Lance.
Before he could even ask, Snake Lance quickly nodded and affirmed.
"Young Master Jue, Miss is right. I discovered it accidentally while out on a mission."
"I see."
Qian Renjue nodded with a smile.
Even though he knew Qian Renxue was hiding something, he didn't pursue the matter further.
If his sister could trust him, why couldn't he trust her?
Seeing Qian Renjue's attitude, Qian Renxue let out a sigh of relief but was still a little uneasy.
She stepped forward with a mischievous smile and said, "Won't you at least ask Snake Lance what mission he was carrying out?"
Qian Renjue shook his head with a smile, "No need. I trust you, sister."
Qian Renxue bit her red lips, revealing a beautiful, joyful smile. She walked up and linked her arm with Qian Renjue's.
In a soft voice, she said, "Don't worry, sister will definitely protect you."
Smooch!
A soft, moist kiss landed on his fair, handsome face.
Qian Renjue laughed.
"Sister is at level 68 now, right? I should be fighting alongside you."
"Hmm? Don't get too full of yourself."
Qian Renxue frowned.
As an elder sister, how could she let her younger brother wield the sword and charge into battle?
If that happened, wouldn't that make her, the Angel God, utterly useless in her duty?
"Hiss—"
Qian Renjue gasped.
Qian Renxue was pinching his waist, and the little girl in his arms nearly fell.
"Hmph!"
Qian Renxue coldly snorted.
She gently kneaded the soft flesh on Qian Renjue's waist and warned, "Don't do anything that would upset sister."
"I won't."
Qian Renjue's expression was a bit sheepish.
"Miss Xue, don't worry. Ling Yuan will supervise His Highness closely," Ling Yuan softly assured.
If His Highness had any enemies, she would be willing to charge through fire and water at his command.
"Uh..."
Qian Renjue felt a bit embarrassed.
He quickly shifted the topic and gently shook the little rabbit in his arms.
She had been unconscious for so long. Why hadn't she woken up yet?
With suspicion, he asked, "Elders, did you feed her something?"
"Young Master Jue, this is the antidote. Just let her smell it," Porcupine Douluo immediately stepped forward, took out a small porcelain bottle, and handed it to Qian Renjue.
"Thank you, Elder Porcupine."
Qian Renjue smiled.
Dugu Yan suddenly stepped up, took the antidote, and smilingly opened the bottle.
"Your Highness, let Yanyan help you."
"Alright."
It wasn't convenient for Qian Renjue, as he was holding Xiao Wu in one arm, while the other arm was being held by Qian Renxue.
Dugu Yan carefully placed the porcelain bottle under Xiao Wu's nose and thoughtfully fanned it with her hand.
Leaning against Qian Renjue's chest, Xiao Wu furrowed her brows, feeling an itch on her nose.
Her pink lips parted.
"Ah-choo~"
Her little head shook slightly, and Xiao Wu slowly awoke, her crimson eyes gradually opening.
She raised her small hand to rub her drowsy eyes.
"Little bunny, how do you feel?"
"Your Highness..."
A familiar voice echoed in her ears, and Xiao Wu grabbed at the clothing next to her.
The world before her cleared up.
The first thing she saw was Qian Renxue's beautiful face with golden hair and violet eyes.
"Miss Xue?!"
Xiao Wu was still somewhat dazed.
Smelling the familiar scent, she quickly glanced at the ground and then back at him.
Her crimson eyes filled with joy.
"Ah! Your Highness! I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Xiao Wu exclaimed, throwing her arms around Qian Renjue's neck tightly, filled with excitement.
"Your Highness, I missed you so much, really missed you."
Her slightly chubby face pressed against Qian Renjue, rubbing back and forth, just like when she was his pet.
Her voice was sweet and clear.
"Haha~ Alright."
Qian Renjue chuckled softly, feeling the soft warmth on his face.
"But wasn't being stuffed in a sack also a part of your dream?"
"A sack?"
Xiao Wu froze and tilted her head.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears and a hint of fear.
"Sniffle~ Your Highness, I thought I'd never see you again..."
Xiao Wu began to cry softly, unable to contain herself as she complained:
"I was resting peacefully in the hay when Elder Snake Lance came and grabbed me."
"I was so scared."
"…"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, both Snake Lance and Porcupine Douluo felt a bit awkward.
"It's alright now, it was all a misunderstanding. It was my sister who wanted to capture you and give you to me."
Qian Renjue spoke gently, like he was coaxing a child.
Holding Xiao Wu with one arm, he withdrew the other from Qian Renxue and gently patted Xiao Wu's back.
"Sniffle~"
Xiao Wu sobbed softly, pouting with an aggrieved expression:
"I was always yours, Your Highness."
"How would I know?"
Qian Renxue pouted unhappily.
The gift she had prepared for Qian Renjue was now ruined, and it gave her quite the embarrassment.
"Xiao Wu doesn't blame Miss Xue."
Hearing Qian Renxue's voice, Xiao Wu quickly explained.
Even after a year of being back in the forest, she hadn't forgotten the fear instilled in her by Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue opened her mouth but was left helpless.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's head inside to continue talking."
Dugu Xin reminded:
"Miss Xue, dinner is ready."
Qian Renxue paused and ordered:
"Yanyan, bring the food to my room."
"Understood."
Dugu Yan nodded.
"As for the rest of you, you may leave. After dinner, get some rest."
"Yes!"
After dismissing the few Titled Douluos, Qian Renxue pulled Qian Renjue towards the room.
Xiao Wu snuggled closer to Qian Renjue's chest, cherishing the moment.
Listening to his heartbeat, she softly asked:
"Your Highness, now that I've been brought back, what about the academy in Nuoding?"
"It's fine."
Qian Renjue shook his head with a smile, "I'll take you back myself tomorrow."
Qian Renjue's eyes showed a trace of coldness.
He hadn't planned on visiting Nuoding City, but making the trip didn't seem like a bad idea.
Qian Renjue was curious to see how Tang San from the Tang Sect differed from other kids.
"Nuoding Academy?!"
Qian Renxue's eyes filled with surprise.
She was about to ask but then stopped, her lips moving without speaking.
She already knew.
Qian Renjue was very special, possessing many treasures, and he even knew about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
It wouldn't be impossible for him to know other secrets.
And after all, this rabbit that she hadn't paid much attention to had accompanied Qian Renjue for five years.
Qian Renxue didn't believe for a second that Qian Renjue had managed to capture Xiao Wu on his own back then.
It must have been the work of the power behind him!
"Alright, Xiao Wu will follow whatever Your Highness decides."
Xiao Wu's eyes showed a hint of sadness.
She thought she could stay by his side longer.
Sitting at the table, Qian Renjue curiously asked, "By the way, why didn't you hide your soul beast aura?"
"Huh? This... I..."
Xiao Wu stammered a bit.
Grabbing the collar around her neck, her face flushed red as she shyly said:
"I-I don't know how to use it."
"Don't know how?"
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes.
He sighed, "You silly rabbit, just channel your soul power into it."
"Your Highness... Xiao Wu is not that stupid."
Xiao Wu bit her red lips, racking her brain to defend herself:
"It's just that I didn't have any soul power before."
