91. Can't Run Away
Upon hearing Qian Renjue's voice, the Soft-Boned Rabbit, which had been flailing around, gradually calmed down.
It stopped struggling, its eyes brimming with warm tears, staring furiously at Qian Renjue.
This good-looking human was simply too evil!
If he was going to kill it, why bother washing it clean from head to toe first?
("Mom, Dad, Xiao Wu is coming to find you...")
The Soft-Boned Rabbit seemed resigned to its fate, closing its eyes, leaving Qian Renjue puzzled.
"Jue, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a familiar yet eerie voice echoed in the room.
Qian Renjue frowned and looked up, stunned by what he saw.
Standing at the doorway was a figure that looked exactly like him, even the voice was identical.
The Soft-Boned Rabbit opened its eyes again and saw another Qian Renjue in front of it.
It almost fainted on the spot.
With a thud, the Soft-Boned Rabbit fell onto the coffee table.
Seeing the figure approaching him, Qian Renjue's eyes lit up with joy. "Is it… Sister?"
"How is it? Do I look like you?"
Qian Renxue smiled playfully, opening her arms and spinning in front of him.
"Yes, it's incredible how much you look like me!"
Qian Renjue, holding a fruit knife, nodded repeatedly before furrowing his brows. "But… seeing Sister like this feels weird."
"Haha, alright, I'll change back."
Qian Renxue's original voice returned, her laughter sweet, and a golden glow appeared around her body.
She twirled, causing her clothes to flutter as her figure subtly transformed.
Her chest swelled, her skin became more delicate, and her sharp features softened into feminine grace.
Her purple eyes slowly shifted toward blue, her flowing hair dancing in the air. A faint fragrance lingered in the room.
"Sister, you're so beautiful..." Qian Renjue couldn't help but whisper in awe as he gazed at the golden figure before him.
The Soft-Boned Rabbit, which had been trying to sneak away from the coffee table, was also momentarily stunned by the sight.
("Hmph! If Xiao Wu could take human form, she'd be even more beautiful!")
It whimpered softly, inching toward the edge of the coffee table.
Wearing a long dress, Qian Renxue gracefully stopped her spin, her eyes filled with warmth as she gazed at Qian Renjue.
With the clothes she had just taken off draped over her arm, she bent down and scooped up the rabbit that had been trying to escape.
Squeak—!
("Let me go! Let Xiao Wu go! Ah—!")
The Soft-Boned Rabbit struggled, but it was useless.
Qian Renxue pinched the rabbit's ears and asked Qian Renjue, who was still holding the knife, "Jue, where did this rabbit come from?"
"Sister, this is…" Qian Renjue snapped out of his daze and was about to explain but quickly fell silent.
How could he explain that this peculiar little creature was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast? It was too embarrassing, so he laughed awkwardly and said, "Sister, it's just a pet."
"A pet?"
Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, playfully teasing the rabbit in her hand.
"Having a little pet isn't bad; it'll keep you company when I'm not around."
"Yes, yes…" Qian Renjue chuckled nervously, nodding slightly.
Hearing his response, Qian Renxue's smile instantly faded.
("You're the pet! You're all pets!")
The Soft-Boned Rabbit kicked its legs, its crimson eyes filled with indignation.
Squeak—!
Before it could finish its complaint, Qian Renxue casually tossed it onto the sofa.
She had no interest in such ordinary creatures.
Squeak!
The Soft-Boned Rabbit lay on the sofa, protesting against Qian Renxue's rough treatment.
Qian Renxue ignored it, stepping forward to gently cup Qian Renjue's face.
"Sorry, Jue… trust your sister, I'll visit often."
"Sister, of course I trust you."
Qian Renjue laughed, raising the fruit knife in his hand, and asked, "Would you like some fruit?"
"Sure."
Qian Renxue smiled and linked arms with Qian Renjue as they sat on the sofa, leaning against his shoulder.
"Afterward, accompany me for a walk down the mountain. Tomorrow, I'm going to hunt a soul."
"Mm."
Qian Renjue nodded.
After obtaining her fourth soul ring, Qian Renxue would set out for Heaven Dou City.
Hearing the words "hunting soul," the Soft-Boned Rabbit, sprawled on the coffee table, suddenly regained its energy and quickly flipped itself over.
But before it could take a step, Qian Renjue grabbed it by the neck and pressed it back onto the table.
Squeak!
Just as it was about to resist, the sight of half a green apple in front of it made the rabbit gulp.
After all its struggles and attempts to escape, it was starving.
Without hesitation, it lunged at the apple, munching away. Its crimson eyes still fixed on the boy feeding Qian Renxue slices of fruit. It ate the apple while grumbling to itself.
("Just wait… once Xiao Wu is full, she'll make her escape!")
Down the mountain, Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue walked hand in hand, barely having covered any distance when the rabbit, trying to flee in the opposite direction, suddenly appeared again, tumbling down the steps.
"Mm?"
Qian Renxue frowned, glancing up at the blue sky and white clouds, then back at Qian Renjue with confusion. "Why did the rabbit follow us?"
"Uh..."
Qian Renjue was momentarily stunned before he awkwardly used his foot push the rabbit into the bushes.
Unfortunately, he used too much force as the rabbit hit the tree behind the bushes
Thud.
Squeak!
Ignoring the rabbit's squeals, Qian Renjue smiled at Qian Renxue and said, "Haha, Sister, don't mind it. Let's keep going."
"Pfft!"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh, nodding her head.
Rustle...
The pink Soft-Boned Rabbit crawled out of the bushes, shaking its head. Watching the siblings' retreating figures, it gnashed its teeth.
("What the heck is going on?!")
("Ah—! Xiao Wu won't give up, charge!")
Letting out a tiny cry, the rabbit immediately dashed off in the opposite direction from Qian Renjue.
...
Thud!
At the foot of the mountain, in front of Spirit City, Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue stopped once again.
Seeing the rabbit lying flat on the ground, Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh.
This silly rabbit kept falling from the sky.
Of course, she noticed something was off, but such things were not unusual around Qian Renjue.
Squeak!
Seeing the familiar figure, the Soft-Boned Rabbit quickly flipped over and hopped onto its feet.
It latched onto Qian Renjue's pant leg, its crimson eyes teary as it stared at him, seemingly pleading.
("Please let Xiao Wu go! I beg you!")
The rabbit had long given up on escaping but kept crashing down anyway. Even as stupid as it was, it knew something was wrong.
Under Qian Renxue's teasing gaze, Qian Renjue's expression was a bit unnatural.
He rolled his eyes at the rabbit and pulled out his coat from his storage device.
"Get in."
Squeak!
The rabbit didn't resist this time, obediently hopping into the coat. Finally, it stopped falling!
The silly rabbit almost shed tears of joy.
("Wuwu! Da Ming, Er Ming… Xiao Wu can't go back!")
...
As Qian Renjue was carrying a rabbit.
Walking shoulder to shoulder with Qian Renxue, they arrived at a busier part of Spirit City.
Running toward them were two small figures.
They brushed past each other earlier
A silver-haired boy was chasing and calling out to the orange-haired girl.
"Sister, wait for me!"
"Huh?"
The little girl, with a pacifier in her mouth, suddenly turned around.
Curiously, she watched Qian Renjue's back.
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
The silver-haired boy came up beside her, puzzled, and looked in the same direction.
He saw a candied fruit stand in the distance.
With a bitter smile, he said,
"Sister, your brother is out of money. Wait until tomorrow when I awaken my spirit."
"When I become a spirit master, I'll buy it for you."
The orange-haired girl didn't seem to hear him and immediately ran toward the crowd.
"Sis!"
