Especially Fu Qin's increasingly refined face, with its sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose bridge, and skin as white as the finest mutton fat jade, made her heart race every time she looked at him for a while.
Tang San stood aside, watching Xiao Wu's concern for Fu Qin, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He frowned and said, "Xiao Wu, there are bound to be winners and losers in a sparring match. Fu Qin is quite strong, but he lacks experience."
In his view, Xiao Wu was his wife in his past life and his future wife, so there was nothing wrong with him caring about his younger brother.
After all, Fu Qin had been by his side all these years, treating him with utmost respect. Xiao Wu's concern for Fu Qin was essentially because Fu Qin was "one of her own."
He was completely unaware that the pure affection Xiao Wu had for her "younger brother" was gone from her gaze towards Fu Qin; in its place lay a complex and intense emotion.
Upon hearing Tang San's voice, Xiao Wu instantly concealed the emotions in her eyes, and when she turned her head, she regained her lively and cheerful demeanor.
"I know, Third Brother! I was just a little worried because Fu Qin's mouth was bleeding from the beating."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine from her soul tool and handed it to Fu Qin. Her fingertips inadvertently brushed against his palm, leaving a warm sensation.
"Here, put this on quickly so you don't leave a scar. You're so cute, a scar wouldn't look good."
These words were direct and bold, and even though Fu Qin was prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Tang San frowned even more, feeling that Xiao Wu's words today were a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
Fu Qin quickly took the medicine bottle.
"Thank you for the anti-inflammatory medicine, Sister Xiaowu. I'll take it right away."
He could sense the questioning look in Tang San's eyes, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Third Brother, Sister Xiaowu, we'll be graduating soon. Shouldn't we start preparing in advance? Are there any advanced academies you'd like to attend?"
Tang San's attention was indeed diverted, and he nodded.
"Yes, our teacher recommended a high-level academy called Shrek Academy. I heard that the teachers there are at least Soul Emperor level."
As he spoke, he looked at Fu Qin with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Your soul skill combination has great potential. With more practice, you might be able to cultivate to the level of Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo in the future."
Fu Qin sneered inwardly.
Soul Saint? Soul Douluo? Who do you think you are?
He wanted to see what would happen when Tang San discovered that the little brother he had always "admired" was far stronger than him.
What a fascinating expression he would have if even Xiao Wu, his former lover, had no interest in him.
"I will definitely work hard, Third Brother!"
Fu Qin once again displayed that look of adoration, his eyes so sincere that no one could doubt it.
Xiao Wu stood to the side, watching Fu Qin's respectful manner towards Tang San, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
Tang San had already told him about Fu Qin. Fu Qin was very likely the butterfly effect caused by their rebirth.
Moreover, Tang San guessed that Fu Qin was very likely someone with great fortune, just like them.
At first, the two of them only had some guesses about this, but now they can be certain that Fu Qin definitely has great fortune and may become a god with them in the future!
Three days later, they had left Nottingham.
...
The carriage stopped outside Soto.
The streets of Soto were bustling with noise, and the sound of carriages rolling over the cobblestones was drowned out by the shouts of vendors and the laughter of pedestrians.
As soon as he stepped out of the station, Tang San turned to the two of them and said, "Wait for me nearby. I'm going to pick something up and I'll be right back."
His gaze was pointing in the direction of Flanders' inconspicuous little shop.
The dragon whisker needle hidden inside the crystal was one of his trump cards from his past life, and now he naturally had to retrieve it as soon as possible.
"Okay, Third Brother, go ahead. We'll just wander around here and wait for you." Xiao Wu immediately responded, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes. Before Fu Qin could react, she grabbed his wrist and slipped into a quiet alley.
The alley is lined with mottled brick walls.
As soon as they reached the depths of the alley, Xiao Wu suddenly turned around and wrapped her arms around Fu Qin's neck.
Her actions startled Fu Qin.
But then Xiao Wu tiptoed and pressed her sweet, girlish lips directly against his cheek.
Fu Qin's pupils contracted slightly as he felt the fragrant breeze, which inexplicably made him afraid to move.
Her hands weren't idle either; one hand was around his shoulder, while the other fingertips rubbed against his waistline through his clothes, making the hairs on his body stand on end.
The favorability rating on the panel jumped wildly, 390, 395, 402... It broke through 400 points in just over ten seconds.
Fu Qin felt extremely embarrassed.
Goodness.
Xiao Wu wanted to be Diao Chan, but he didn't want to be Dong Zhuo.
He tilted his head slightly and gently placed his hands on Xiao Wu's shoulders.
"Sister Xiaowu, no... we're outside, I really..."
His feigned reluctance seemed more like a wonderful seasoning to Xiao Wu, who looked at him with a playful glint in her eyes.
Instead of stopping, she kissed him even more passionately.
After a long while, she finally raised her face.
"What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here. To be honest, I have high hopes for you... From now on, you'll get plenty of benefits if you follow me."
Her voice carried a hint of arrogance and stubbornness, for some reason.
She knew it was wrong, but she did it anyway.
Fu Qin's handsome face, gentle personality, and the smiling eyes that always looked at her captivated her.
Especially the occasional shyness that Fu Qin showed made her want to protect him so much that she wished she could completely embrace this man.
Fu Qin could clearly feel Xiao Wu's body temperature rising rapidly.
He couldn't help but marvel at how ridiculously strong the "birth and death" buff he possessed was.
And those 400 points of favorability are indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Wu has completely disregarded their past "sworn brotherhood" and doesn't even care about Tang San's existence.
He gently patted Xiao Wu's back, his tone soothing.
"Sister Xiaowu, I know... but please calm down first, Third Brother will be back soon."
These words only added a hint of disdain to Xiao Wu's face.
She released her kiss on Fu Qin's lips, her nose brushing against his.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"So what if we come back? As long as he doesn't see us, what's wrong with us getting closer?"
As she spoke, her little hands began to wander again.
Fu Qin quickly grabbed her hand; he was genuinely afraid that Xiao Wu would force him into doing it in the alley.
"Sister Xiaowu, please don't do this. I can't let Third Brother down."
Xiao Wu dismissed his words with disdain.
She didn't say anything when Tang San was carrying her mistress on his back.
Looking at Fu Qin's flushed cheeks and shy eyes.
She couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you this time, but next time......"
