"Uh—"
Seeing Xiao Wu still resisting,
Tang San could only shake his head helplessly.
Since returning from his vacation, he hadn't seen Tang Hao again.
After all, it was something he had painstakingly raised for several years.
There was also blood ties;
naturally, his heart was filled with reluctance.
He wanted to find a younger sister to fill this void, but there was no progress.
The first time he brought up this topic at the dinner table,
Xiao Wu sternly refused, even splashing a bowl of chili water on his face.
He hadn't cultivated his Purple-level Demon Eye for several days.
Since Xiao Wu quickly admitted her mistake and apologized, Tang San naturally didn't hold it against her.
He had been too abrupt.
Afterwards, he made several more suggestions, but although Xiao Wu wouldn't attack him, she never agreed.
"Tang Xiao San, did you hear that? I'll only be your older sister!"
Xiao Wu bounced on the cart.
Looking at Tang San, she felt a little disdainful; dark-skinned, ugly, and weak.
"Xiao Wu, I heard you."
Tang San staggered, trying his best to steady the cart with his arms.
"Good to hear you. Be careful."
Xiao Wu sat down cross-legged again, yawned, and offered a timely show of concern.
"If you can't hold on, the bet is off."
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I can manage. Consider it exercise."
Tang San pulled the cart, slowly climbing the hill.
"Hmph! Whatever. If you collapse from exhaustion, I won't be responsible."
Xiao Wu turned her face away, not even looking at him.
After a year of playing around,
Xiao Wu, whose mind seemed to have been enlightened, had basically mastered the secrets of manipulating Tang San.
Occasional laughter and gentle words
won Tang San's favor.
Then, she would take advantage of Tang San's goodwill and avoid making excessive bets.
She would use the bets after the competition to subtly torment him.
Sometimes, when she asked him to stop,
he would become even more excited, even feeling that she was being treated specially.
Because when Xiao Wu played games with others,
she never mentioned anything about breaking the bet.
Xiao Wu grinned smugly. Thankfully, her years of studying hadn't been wasted. She
also owed a lot to that little brat who hadn't been weaned yet.
He often introduced her to books about love, romance, and scheming.
Now it was proving useful. She'd
even put it into practice—
she wondered if His Highness the Holy Prince was susceptible to the "sweet girl" approach; she was quite adept at it now.
By the way, was that little brat weaned yet?
Just as Xiao Wu's thoughts drifted away,
Tang San, still unwilling to give up, tried again.
"Xiao Wu, if you become my sister, I'll protect you."
"I'll fight with all my might, anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my dead body first."
"And those fun hidden weapons..."
"Stop, stop!"
Xiao Wu waved her hand impatiently, turning to look at Tang San.
Suppressing her discomfort, she pouted.
Displeased, she said,
"You mean, if I don't become your sister, you won't protect me?"
"Of course not! What I mean is—"
Before Tang San could finish explaining, Xiao Wu interrupted him.
"That settles it then!"
"Since it's not, why bother becoming your sister, Xiao Wu?"
"Tang Xiao San, just give up."
"Why not just call me 'sister'? Aren't you short of money?"
"Xiao Wu can lend you some first."
Xiao Wu smiled,
fully utilizing her delicate and lovely appearance, her words tinged with a joke.
She knew Tang San had a certain inexplicable pride.
He wouldn't lower himself just to borrow her gold soul coins.
Sure enough,
Tang San shook his head.
"Let's forget about the loan, I'll handle it."
"Alright then, remember to let me know if you need anything."
Xiao Wu didn't insist.
She had plenty of gold soul coins; how much she lent was up to her.
"Thank you, Xiao Wu."
Tang San didn't bring up the matter of taking on a sister again.
"Save your breath, I don't like hearing these empty words."
Xiao Wu cupped her face and rolled her eyes.
"Haha."
Tang San couldn't help but chuckle.
It was all because Xiao Wu often paid out of her own pocket to bring him his lunchbox.
Looking at the hillside they were almost finished climbing,
Tang San tentatively asked,
"Xiao Wu, are you really okay not going home?"
"Hmph! What could be wrong?"
Xiao Wu's pretty face fell, her expression showing her grievance. Hugging her knees, she genuinely complained with disappointment,
"I want to go back, but he won't let me."
"Xiao Wu."
Tang San stopped, turning back to look at Xiao Wu's aggrieved and longing expression.
A pang of unease gripped his heart.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"What's the use of sorry! Just keep pulling the cart."
Xiao Wu wiped away her tears, giving Tang San a coquettish scolding.
She was truly showing her emotions now.
It was all Tang San's fault; otherwise, she'd still be nestled in the Holy Prince's arms like a bunny.
"..."
Tang San nodded slightly.
He knew he'd touched a sore spot, so he said no more.
Now he was even more certain that Xiao Wu wasn't a commoner.
Despite being well-off and extravagant, she ended up as a work-study student.
Considering her current refusal to go home
, Tang San suspected
Xiao Wu had a fight with her family and impulsively ran away.

"Achoo!"
In the Papal Palace,
Hu Liena, who was assisting Qian Renjue with matters, couldn't help but sneeze.
She sniffed,
her expression strange. Qian Renjue stopped writing, looked up curiously, and asked, "What's wrong? Nana, are you cold?"
"No, Senior Brother, someone must be talking about Nana."
Hu Liena shook her head.
She smiled sweetly at Qian Renjue and handed him the documents.
"That's good."
Qian Renjue took the stack of documents.
Hu Liena smiled and said, "Senior Brother, take a look, is Nana's annotation correct?"
"Yes, come over here too, so I can correct you."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
He patted the small stool placed between the Papal throne and the desk.
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Hu Liena happily squeezed in next to Qian Renjue, their bodies making slight contact.
She stared intently at Qian Renjue, who was diligently working
. "Look here carefully, there's no writing on my face,"
Qian Renjue said, poking the little fox's cheek with his pen.
"Aww~"
Hu Liena covered her face, leaning against Qian Renjue's arm, and said softly,
"Senior Brother, please speak, Nana is listening."
"Hmm, in the future, don't think about anything else while working. Put aside personal feelings when you're working,"
Qian Renjue instructed.
"Mmm-hmm."
Hu Liena nodded heavily, inexplicably excited.
So
she and her senior brother had a secret relationship!
She couldn't let that go; she learned this precisely to help her senior brother.
Without saying more,
Qian Renjue picked up his pen to correct the documents Hu Liena had approved.
Three days had passed since the Soul Hunter
returned. The day after he woke up, Bibi Dong entrusted him with the affairs of the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, began her seclusion again.
It's worth mentioning...
Qian Renjue has approved the system's plan.
He has refined the bead left behind by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger into a soul tool imbued with divine power.
As for the materials needed for the refining process,
Qian Renjue simply threw the Vast Ocean Universe Cover into it.
The materials are more than enough.
At the same time, he also has a bowl of his own blood and a few drops of his heart's blood.
Tonight is the moment to witness a miracle!
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
