Upon hearing Old Man Zhang's words, still struggling with carrots, Xiao Wu turned her clear and foolish gaze towards Ye Qiu.
"Grandpa Zhang, isn't this inappropriate?" Ye Qiu felt a bit awkward. After all, this was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and the crucial issue was that there was only one bed at home!
Before he could explain further, Old Man Zhang spoke up.
"What's wrong with that? They're just children! Besides, you're here to deliver money, right? Why are you dividing it so clearly? Take this money back, and take the girl back with you. Consider it her living expenses!"
"Uh, this is a bit..." Ye Qiu's expression became somewhat unnatural at Old Man Zhang's words. Honestly, he was tempted.
"You don't want to?" Before he could finish, Old Man Zhang interrupted him.
"It's not that, Grandpa Zhang! You misunderstood." Ye Qiu rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly.
"What I mean is, this money is not enough; we need to add more!"
"Add more!?" Old Man Zhang was almost about to pull his beard when he heard this.
"Look at how much she can eat. This money is a bit insufficient!" He pointed in Xiao Wu's direction and helplessly shrugged.
"I don't eat that much!" Xiao Wu widened her eyes and glared at Ye Qiu while still munching on a carrot.
"Uh..." Suddenly, a long burp, and she quickly covered her mouth, her face turning red.
Feeling the gazes from Old Man Zhang and Ye Qiu, her eyes became somewhat evasive.
Finally, Old Man Zhang agreed to add more money and made an agreement with Ye Qiu. They would be sent to the Nuoding Academy about a month later when the school year began.
With Old Man Zhang watching, Ye Qiu smoothly brought Xiao Wu home.
On the way, Ye Qiu walked ahead, and Xiao Wu followed behind. Unlike the lively Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu was silent and reserved, just quietly moving forward.
"Hey! How much farther?" Xiao Wu hopped to Ye Qiu's side, tilting her head, and asked.
"I'm not 'Hey.' My name is Ye Qiu. We still have some distance to go. Just hold on a bit longer."
"Humph! Ye Qiu, what's with the toughness? Watch out, Xiao Wu will beat you!" Hearing this, Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and found her lack of manners irritating.
"I'm Ye Qiu. What's with the beating? Hold on a bit longer."
"Huh! What's with the toughness? Watch out, Xiao Wu will beat you!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiu didn't bother responding, just rolling his eyes and thinking, 'Really hard to discipline this beast.'
Silence prevailed during the journey, and as the dusk fell, Ye Qiu finally returned home after having dinner.
"Wow! Such a cute little rabbit! I didn't expect you to have a pet rabbit!" Seeing the rabbit in the cage in front of the stone house, Xiao Wu quickly rushed over to play.
"That's not a pet." Ye Qiu whispered. As soon as he entered the house, he pointed to the bathing area separated by wooden boards and instructed Xiao Wu, "Hurry up and take a bath. You have a strong smell!"
"Why are you talking nonsense? Where does the smell come from?" Xiao Wu sniffed her sleeve while denying it. As she spoke, her voice got smaller, and her face turned red.
"Smell it? A whole body smell of carrots, and, yes, a bit of the smell of a rabbit." Ye Qiu walked over and sniffed beside her.
"Ah, what are you doing? I'm not a rabbit." Xiao Wu quickly covered her chest, distanced herself from him, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
