Chapter 26: Bite on the Shoulder, you must come back! 

Pale fearfull face, replaced the original smiling face. 

"Xiao Qiu, why does the Titled Douluo want to kill you?" 

"Because he is Tang San's father!" Ye Qiu truthfully explained; today, he would take her away! 

"What! Tang San's father!?" Xiao Wu widened her eyes, realizing that her identity had been exposed, and her body trembled. 

Biting her lip, forcing herself to calm down, she nervously grabbed Ye Qiu's arm, showing more concern for him. "Xiao Qiu, are you okay?" 

"it was a misfortune turned into a blessing, my martial soul has evolved again, but..." Ye Qiu paused, gazing fixedly at Xiao Wu. 

"But what?" Xiao Wu avoided Ye Qiu's eyes, afraid to look at him. 

"But, silly rabbit, shouldn't you be worried about yourself first?" 

Buzz! Bang. Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu seemed to lose her nerves. She felt breathless, her head buzzing, and even the carrot in her hand fell to the ground. 

"Xiao Qiu, what... what are you saying?" She was a bit panicked, tears welling up in her eyes. 

"Sigh~" Ye Qiu sighed, looking calmly at her. "Actually, from the beginning, I knew about your identity, a hundred thousand-year soul beast transformed into human form!" 

"!" Xiao Wu sat on the chair, swaying unsteadily, terrified. She was afraid of her identity being exposed, more afraid that Ye Qiu would despise her, dislike her, and leave her. 

"Xiao Qiu, I didn't intentionally deceive you. Xiao Qiu~!" Before she could finish speaking, Ye Qiu took action, launching a proactive attack, putting an end to his days of waiting idly. 

Standing up, he also pulled Xiao Wu up and went straight for a kiss. 

Grabbing her hand, he entwined their fingers and pulled her into his embrace. 

Xiao Wu did not resist. Ye Qiu had dodged her countless times before, and she didn't even remember. She just needed to know that this was the first time Ye Qiu took the initiative to kiss her, and that was enough to make her happy. 

As a novice, Ye Qiu, who had never experienced such prolonged physical contact, was somewhat breathless when they separated. 

Not letting her leave his embrace, foreheads touching, noses brushing against each other, he looked down at her from a higher vantage point. 

"Look into my eyes." 

Before she could savor the moment, Xiao Wu, with a dazed look in her eyes, raised her head, meeting his blood-red eyes. 

Ye Qiu didn't want to waste more words explaining. Using the illusion of his Mangekyō Sharingan, he transmitted everything he knew about Tang Hao's plan to turn her into Tang San's soul ring and soul bone, as well as his experiences over the past few days. 

In these images, there were also his inner thoughts. 

After a moment, Xiao Wu, who had already digested this information, was pleasantly surprised. 

"Xiao Qiu has me in his heart!" 

Narrowing her eyes, she looked at him tenderly, smiling foolishly. 

"What are you laughing at?" 

"Nothing! I saw something interesting." 

Ye Qiu didn't think too much about it, thinking she was referring to the unjustly accused Great Ape King. 

"Xiao Qiu~" 

"En?" 

Xiao Wu tiptoed, lifted her lips, and lightly kissed Ye Qiu's lips. 

"I have always believed in what you said." 

"Of course, I promised to protect you. I will only die in front of you!" Xiao Wu pursed her lips, her eyes filled with sentimentality. "Yes, but this time, I can't leave with you!" 

"!" Ye Qiu was surprised and let her go, questioning loudly, "What do you mean? Why don't you leave Nouding City with me?" 

Ye Qiu didn't understand. "Do you think I will kill you for your soul bones?" 

"No, I don't!" Hearing this, Xiao Wu also became excited, hastily waving her hands to indicate that she had never thought that way. 

"How could I think that! If, if Xiao Qiu really needs it, as long as it's what Xiao Qiu wants, I'm willing to help you get it, Xiao Qiu~" Xiao Wu

looked at him seriously. 

"Sigh~ I don't need your soul ring, let alone your soul bone. I won't let such a thing happen!" Ye Qiu turned away, not looking at her, feeling somewhat angry. 

"The reason, what reason do you have for staying?" 

Xiao Wu grabbed his arm. "Xiao Qiu, where are you going after leaving Nouding City?" 

Ye Qiu was about to speak, but Xiao Wu beat him to it. 

"Are you going to look for the Immortal Herb, right?" 

He nodded, not finding it strange that Xiao Wu could guess this. After all, Xiao Wu was not really foolish! 

"Does it matter?"

"Where is the Immortal Herb? Is it guarded by someone?" 

In a quick response, Xiao Wu didn't give Ye Qiu a chance to speak. 

"I think there might be a Titled Douluo in that place!" Facing Xiao Wu's speculation, Ye Qiu nodded. The place was relatively close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda School and the Tian Dou Imperial City. Moreover, the Ice and Fire yin yang Eyes were originally owned by the Poison Douluo, Dugu bo. 

However, this wasn't Xiao Wu's reason for staying. 

"I have divine might space; you can stay inside," Ye Qiu, knowing her temperament well, added, "I can accompany you often and find time to let you out." 

"I don't want that. Xiao Wu will be bored to death. Besides, Tang Hao already knows my identity. In his eyes, you are already dead. What if he finds out your location?" Xiao Wu stepped forward, hugging him, and slowly explained her reasons. 

"By staying here, I can divert his attention, and my safety is guaranteed until Tang San grows up. In the face of other Title Douluo, Tang Hao is a free bodyguard." 

Listening to Xiao Wu's words, Ye Qiu rubbed his temples. He was still too weak! Despite being pleased with activating kamui, he felt a sense of stability in his drifting heart once again. 

His next destination was the Tian Dou Imperial City, behind Qian Renxue. the thorn dolphin, the snake spear For a soul beast facing the thorny situation of facing the three, and the others close by , seven kills sword and Bone Dragon it was indeed entering a dragon's den and tiger's lair. 

"I need to consider this again," Ye Qiu said, a bit hesitant to look into her eyes, afraid of hesitating. 

"En!" Xiao Wu nodded heavily. Ye Qiu's choice was optional for her. She had already made a decision. Staying here was not only for Ye Qiu's peace of mind but also to make the father and son from the Tang Family pay the price! 

So what if they were Title Douluo? They were no match for her, and if they dared to harm Ye Qiu, the debt of the father would be repaid by the son. Moreover, Tang San had long harbored murderous intent towards Ye Qiu! 

Since he liked her, she would make good use of it and torment him! 

A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes. Anyone who hurt Ye Qiu has to die! 

When Ye Qiu looked over, the killing intent in Xiao Wu's eyes disappeared without a trace. She was just a cute little rabbit belonging to Ye Qiu. 

"Oh, I almost forgot. This ring is for you, Xiao Wu!" Ye Qiu took out an exquisite box and took out a ring with a pink gem on top. 

"For me?" Xiao Wu looked at the pink gem on top, unable to look away. 

"En, this is a soul guide given to me by Grandma Tom. I'm giving it to you now!" Ye Qiu had already examined it. Ten cubic meters were enough. 

Taking her small hand, he solemnly put the ring on her ring finger. 

"Thank you, Xiao Qiu. I really like it!" After giving Ye Qiu a kiss, she turned her hand, continuously admiring it. 

"There's also an attached soul bone inside. Absorb it!" Ye Qiu had already made up his mind. 

Xiao Wu understood that this was Ye Qiu's final request and didn't dare to refuse. 

After she absorbed the soul bone and learned about its function, Ye Qiu's worries lessened. 

When they finally parted, Xiao Wu hugged him tightly. 

"There's nothing I can give Xiao Qiu, except..." 

"Hiss~" Ye Qiu took in a cold breath. Xiao Wu unexpectedly bit his shoulder hard. 

"Xiao Qiu, you must remember to come find me." 

"En, I will! Wait for me!" 

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu escorted Xiao Wu to a small alley outside the Nouding Academy. 

"Xiao Qiu, I'm sorry." Xiao Wu muttered to herself, looking at the setting sun in the sky, touching the ring on her hand, and smiling in the direction of the academy.
