Chapter 164 A Sudden Confession.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality these past two days, senior and Duke. We need to return to the academy to submit our mission, so we
'll take our leave now," Wu Xuan said, cupping his hands in greeting. "Young friend Wu, don't be so formal. You and Yueheng are classmates, and you've helped us so much this time. Just call me Uncle Dai from now on," Dai Hao said, stepping forward with a hint of reproach.
"Uncle Dai!"
"Uncle Dai!"
"Haha, alright! Then Yueheng and I won't keep you any longer. You must visit my White Tiger Duke's mansion next time you have the chance," Dai Hao laughed heartily, stepping forward warmly.
"Definitely, definitely!" With that, Wu Xuan and Xiao Xiao shouldered their respective flying soul tools.
Under the watchful eyes of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng, the two slowly ascended into the air until they disappeared.
Dai Hao turned around and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder His Majesty values this young man so much. At such a young age, he has already stepped into the threshold of Soul Emperor. He is truly a prodigy."
Dai Yueheng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "Father is right. Our Sea God Pavilion's Elder Xuan once commented on Wu Xuan's talent. Elder Xuan's original words were that Wu Xuan's talent might not be inferior to that of the Sea God from ten thousand years ago."
"Haha! That's quite a high evaluation. Alright, Yueheng, let's go back too!" Dai Hao patted Dai Yueheng's shoulder and laughed heartily.
"Yes, Father."
On the other side!
"Brother Xuan! I didn't notice it last time we met, but now I realize that Senior Dai's father has a lot of charisma!" Xiao Xiaofei commented from beside Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan smiled upon hearing this, "You weren't even an adult when we met last time. What could you see? Now that you're an adult, your perspective is naturally different."
"That's right! We're adults now, adults now!" Xiao Xiaofei said with a mix of joy and excitement.
"Ah! You're an adult now. What are you trying to say?" Wu Xuan slowly reduced his flight speed. He had never really cared much about relationships, but Xiao Xiao's strange behavior now surprised him.
Xiao Xiao seemed to have mustered her courage, her big eyes fixed on Wu Xuan as she loudly proclaimed, "Wu Xuan! I like you, let's be together!"
"Huh?" A confession? Here? Wu Xuan was dumbfounded. They were still flying in the sky; this wasn't the right occasion.
Fearing an accident, Elder Xuan, who was secretly protecting the two, choked on his drink. "Cough cough! This silly girl, there's a matchmaking event for the Sea God in the Inner Courtyard, who are you confessing to here for?"
Seeing Wu Xuan's silence, Xiao Xiao's eyes immediately reddened with nervousness.
"Brother Xuan! Actually, I've been paying attention to you since the first day of school. That day, Teacher Zhou Yi punished our whole class by making us run 100 laps around the track. Afterwards, I was so tired I couldn't even stand up. It was then that your figure caught my eye."
Your figure inevitably attracted my attention. After we were dismissed, I didn't go back to the dormitory, but followed your Class 9 team to the Soul Arena.
"You instantly defeated two geniuses of your age with a single move. I was shocked at that moment because I was also a genius who was surpassed from childhood. I didn't think I could do it."
Wu Xuan's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't speak. The girl's way of expressing her love was as fiery as a raging fire, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Brother Xuan, do you know, you are really special. You are different from other peers I know. Although we are inseparable at the academy, I always feel a kind of distant feeling between you and us. Even though we are so familiar with each other, I still have this feeling. I don't know why, but I just have this feeling."
"Xiao Ming and Yun'er are right. I am too timid. So today I want to try for myself. I can accept any answer. So... Wu Xuan, can you accept me?"
Looking at the girl before him, memories of the past flashed through Wu Xuan's mind like shooting stars. Did he like Xiao Xiao? At least he definitely had feelings for her.
Thinking this, Wu Xuan made up his mind. He wasn't exactly a gentleman, and besides, it was common for top experts on this continent to have multiple wives and concubines. He had accepted Ma Xiaotao, so why couldn't he accept Xiao Xiao, the first person he met?
Wu Xuan slightly raised one hand, and in the next moment, a hurricane gathered in his palm, forming a bouquet of flowers as beautiful as jade carvings.
Propelled by the soul power of his soul tool, Wu Xuan approached Xiao Xiao, whose eyes were slightly red.
"Wu Xuan." The surprise was so sudden that Xiao Xiao was momentarily stunned.
"My martial soul is wind, pure wind. As for matters of the heart, I've always been easygoing, because I don't understand those so-called romantic notions, but I won't hurt the girl who likes me. So I accept your sincere feelings." With that, Wu Xuan handed over the bouquet of wind elemental energy.
Xiao Xiao lunged forward and crashed into Wu Xuan's arms. Just as Wu Xuan's arms encircled her slender waist, a warm touch covered her lips. At that moment, Xiao Xiao didn't care about anything else; her heart was filled with joy at Wu Xuan accepting her confession.
After a long while, the two slowly separated, Xiao Xiao's large eyes shining brightly.
"Alright! Time to get going. Let's try to rest in a town tonight," Wu Xuan said gently, patting Xiao Xiao's head.
"Mmm!" Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly, but didn't let go of Wu Xuan's left hand.
"Rustle—"
A soft, rustling sound came from the nearby grass. A soft-boned rabbit with pale pink fur was happily eating blue silver grass on the ground. However, despite its happiness, its ruby-like eyes were constantly scanning left and right, always on guard.
At this moment, the surroundings were unusually quiet. The next moment, a light gray figure swooped down from the sky in horror.
A hundred-year-old soul beast, the Gray-feathered Vulture.
The gray-feathered vulture's razor-sharp talons slashed fiercely at the ground, glancing left and right, ignoring the Soft-Boned Rabbit overhead.
Just as the vulture was about to succeed, two silver flashes streaked past, instantly piercing the two bewildered soul beasts.
The vulture let out a shrill cry, its wings frantically flailing, directly knocking away the unconscious Soft-Boned Rabbit. In just two and a half seconds, the vulture crashed to the ground beside the rabbit, lying neatly on the ground.
The attack on the two soul beasts was the Soul-Breaking Spear's innate soul skill, Gathering of Sharpness.
As Wu Xuan and Xiao Xiao slowly descended, a pale yellow hundred-year soul ring and a pure white ten-year soul ring floated into the sky.
"Roasted whole rabbit, pheasant soup, lunch is ready."
A smile appeared on Wu Xuan's lips as he calmly put away the Soul-Breaking Spear, gently lifting the Soft-Boned Rabbit and the gray-feathered vulture with one hand.
"I'll help too," Xiao Xiao said affectionately, clinging to Wu Xuan's arm.
Hidden in the shadows, Elder Xuan took a big bite of his chicken leg, somewhat speechless. He thought, "The inner courtyard students are always exhausted after completing their surveillance missions, but these two little ones seem to be on vacation."
