Chương 12: Chapter 12: Cant' Steal My Wife
Just as Teacher Mo Hen left, Tang San arrived right after.
"Xiao Jiu, my master promised to take me to obtain a Spirit Ring tomorrow. I don't know how many days it will take, so I wanted to let you know."
In this unfamiliar environment, Tang San instinctively grew closer to Hu Jiu. Their already good relationship improved even more at this moment.
"A Spirit Ring? I really envy you! Go get one quickly; it would be great if you could obtain a powerful Spirit Ring to help me get mine."
At this time, Hu Jiu regretted not spending more time on training earlier. With his own cultivation and the improvements from being idle, he was probably already at level ten by now. If he went with Tang San to leech off Grandmaster this time, it shouldn't be too difficult.
What a pity!
"Okay, I'll help you then," Tang San nodded seriously. He knew that Hu Jiu's Martial Spirit was for support, and he would definitely need assistance when obtaining a Spirit Ring. As a brother, he was naturally willing to help.
Moreover, with the Mysterious Heaven Skill at his disposal, preparing a few hidden weapons to hunt Spirit Beasts wouldn't be difficult for him.
"By the way, there's something I want to tell you." Glancing at Xiao Wu beside them, Hu Jiu quietly pulled Tang San outside the door.
"What is it? Why so mysterious?" Tang San looked at Hu Jiu in confusion, not understanding why he was acting so secretive.
"Xiao San, do you think we're brothers?" Hu Jiu asked seriously, looking directly at Tang San.
"Of course! We've been brothers for a long time!" Tang San nodded without hesitation. After all, Hu Jiu had brought him food every day before, so he had already accepted Hu Jiu as his brother.
"Then, the woman your brother likes, you can't just take her, right?" Hu Jiu continued to ask.
"You mean..." Tang San looked at Hu Jiu in shock. He didn't expect this—how could you, a mere six-year-old, already be thinking about women? Have some decency!
"What are you talking about? I'm just reserving her. Do you understand? When Xiao Wu grows up, I can just claim her," Hu Jiu said confidently, looking straight at Tang San.
What's wrong with having a crush? You have to be straightforward in life; liking someone is just that—liking, and age isn't a problem.
Tang San shook his head in disbelief. "I really don't know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I like gentle girls, and that girl named Xiao Wu isn't suitable for me."
As he said this, Tang San felt a vague emptiness in his heart, though he didn't know why, and he felt confused.
"Haha, brother, you're really great." After receiving Tang San's promise, Hu Jiu excitedly patted him on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
Tang San is someone who, regardless of anything else, will always keep his word. On this point, Hu Jiu believes in him even more than Tang San believes in himself.
"Enough talk; it's getting dark. I'll head back first." Looking up at the sky, Tang San waved his hand, feeling that Hu Jiu was acting a bit strange today. Could it be that he was not adjusting well to the sudden change in environment?
"Xiao Jiu, do you have any carrots left? I'm a bit hungry." As soon as they returned to the dormitory, Xiao Wu came over.
"Alright, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" After resolving the issue with Tang San, Hu Jiu felt happy and teased Xiao Wu as he summoned a carrot and handed it to her.
This carrot, Hu Jiu had eaten himself, and it was not much different from the ones in the fields. If eaten raw, it didn't taste that great, but Xiao Wu loved it, perhaps because she was a rabbit!
"Hmph, how could that be? Even if I had more carrots, I wouldn't get fat," Xiao Wu said proudly, lifting her chin with a smug expression.
That night, Hu Jiu fell into a deep sleep, filled with strange emotions.
The next day was the opening ceremony in the morning, and he could arrange his own schedule in the afternoon.
Their working student duties wouldn't start until tomorrow, so...
"How boring! Xiao Jiu, aren't you bored?" In the afternoon, in the dormitory, Hu Jiu was lounging on his bed with his legs crossed, feeling relaxed and carefree.
"Bored? A little, I guess. How about we go play in Nuoding City?" Looking at the little white rabbit, enjoying the boost from the AFK Panel, Hu Jiu did not feel bored at all!
Besides, he had a new idea he was refining over the past few days, so he wasn't bored at all!
However, since he wanted to pursue Xiao Wu, if she was bored, he had to act bored too, even if he wasn't.
"Nuoding City? Great! Let's go!" Hu Jiu's suggestion made Xiao Wu's eyes light up. She loved to have fun, and there was no way she could resist the idea of going to such an exciting place.
She was so eager to leave that she reached out her hand and pulled Hu Jiu up from the bed, showing just how impatient she was.
Her little hand was quite soft!
With a smile, Hu Jiu headed out with Xiao Wu, but in his heart, he was thinking that this must count as a date, even though they were both very young—it was still a date!
That afternoon, Xiao Wu went absolutely wild with excitement—watching street performances, shopping, and buying snacks…
By the end of the afternoon, Hu Jiu regretted it. Indeed, whether adult or child, as long as it was a girl, they had endless energy when it came to shopping, which was quite terrifying.
Even Hu Jiu, with his body honed by the Disorder Splitting Winds technique, nearly couldn't keep up.
"Hehe, Xiao Jiu, you're not so great; your body is so weak!" After returning to the Academy, Xiao Wu laughed teasingly.
"Pff, I'm just being suppressed by the laws of heaven, okay? When it comes to shopping, women are full of energy, while men are weak—that's a universal truth, like a curse that even god-level experts can't break."
"Hmph! I'd be a fool to believe you!"
In just a few days, Xiao Wu and Hu Jiu's relationship soared, and under Hu Jiu's care, they had become inseparable.
"At this point, even if Tang San wanted to steal her away, he probably wouldn't be able to!" Hu Jiu thought with pride.
Over the past few days, he had taken great care of Xiao Wu, making sure she had plenty of carrots and occasionally taking her outside the Academy to buy tasty snacks.
As for cultivation?
What's that? They were all in Idle mode anyway, so why bother with cultivation? Playing was what mattered most.
Having suffered enough in his past life, Hu Jiu only sought a carefree existence in this one.
However, the speed at which his wallet was depleting seemed a bit too fast.
Hu Jiu didn't spend much himself, but the problem was that Xiao Wu didn't have any money at all. Whether it was for food or fun, it all came from Hu Jiu's pocket. Moreover, he was incredibly generous, not knowing how to save for Xiao Wu.
As a result, the monthly living allowance his family gave him was nearly depleted within just three days.
To support both Xiao Wu and himself, he had to figure out how to earn money.
It wasn't that there weren't other options available; he remembered that if he reached the Spirit Master level, he could go to the Spirit Hall to receive a living allowance.
If he let Xiao Wu register, they could continue living carefreely.
However, Hu Jiu quickly abandoned this idea.
First of all, if he did that, he would be living off of Xiao Wu, and as a man, that was unacceptable.
Secondly, if he registered at the Spirit Hall, his information would be known to them.
As someone who had experienced the information age, he was very cautious in this regard.
