In a short while, the two arrived at the village entrance, where Old Man Zhang had already set up the ox cart, patiently waiting.

"Grandpa Zhang, it's been a while!" greeted Xiao Wu. Faced with her friendly words, Old Man Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Ah, this girl is quite a rare sight."

When it was Ye Qiu's turn, before he could say anything, Old Man Zhang's face had already turned serious. Nevertheless, it didn't stop Ye Qiu from offering his greetings, "Village Chief, good morning!"

Hearing him speak, Old Man Zhang's expression worsened. "Oh, no need, no need! You, the future Soul Master, have already made a clear distinction with money"

"Uh..." Ye Qiu was momentarily stunned, chuckled bitterly, understanding it was because of the money he secretly stuffed. "Village Chief, what are you saying? It's a token of my respect for you."

"Grandpa Zhang, why is Ye Qiu making you angry?" Xiao Wu was a bit puzzled.

"It's nothing, come on! This is the living expenses Grandpa is giving you two, take it!" Old Man Zhang took out a small bag of money from somewhere and handed it to Xiao Wu.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" The little rabbit didn't know what refusal meant and directly accepted it.

Seeing her take it, Old Man Zhang gave Ye Qiu a triumphant glance, "Hmph! Get on the cart."

"Hehe." Ye Qiu scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly; indeed, he was quite the old child.

The means of transportation were straightforward—a sturdy yellow ox pulling a two-wheeled cart, with straw spread beneath it, enjoying the natural fragrance.

Well-ventilated, bathed in sunlight, the scenery along the way was captivating.

Biqiu Village was not far from the city of Noding, and with the speed of the ox cart, they should arrive by afternoon.

Approaching noon, on the ox cart, Old Man Zhang was responsible for driving, while Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu sat facing each other.

The initially lively rabbit was now listless, even dozing off while nibbling on a carrot.

Shifting her bottom, Xiao Wu slowly moved closer to Ye Qiu, hugging his arm. "Ye Qiu, I'm a bit sleepy! Mm~"

As she spoke, she yawned, but her eyes were wide open.

"If you're tired, take a nap!" Ye Qiu, with his eyes covered, casually responded.

"Okay then!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qiu felt a weight on his shoulder. Xiao Wu's head rested on his shoulder, and her hand was still hugging his arm.

Just with a glance, Ye Qiu shifted his gaze away.

'On this trip to Nou ding City, Xiao Wu's identity as a Hundred Thousand-Year Soul Beast should probably be discovered by Tang Hao.' Ye Qiu also had some thoughts about taking her away, but where could they go?

He was only at the fourth level of innate soul power now. Even if he could join some small force, accidents were hard to avoid.

For Xiao Wu, following her original trajectory might be the safest for now!

At least there was enough time for her to grow up. Besides, coming here had his own plans!

Outside Ye Qiu's line of sight, Xiao Wu secretly opened her eyes, gazing at his profile with a gentle smile.

Suddenly sensing Old Man Zhang's gaze, her face turned red, causing Old Man Zhang to burst into laughter.

Time passed slowly, and distant pointed rooftops emerged—the architecture of Douluo Continent was mostly Western-style.
