111: He's the father, but he eats rabbit.
"Ah!"
Xiao Wu felt her head buzzing.
The father Mom found for her?
And a human father at that?
"Mom, we are Spirit Beasts!"
"He knows!"
"Then won't he kill you, and then, and then take your spirit ring and Spirit Bone?"
"Unfortunately, Mom can't give them to him; otherwise, he wouldn't even need to do it himself."
"..."
Seeing that A Rou was serious, Xiao Wu's brain immediately went into a state of shock.
She needed to properly digest this information.
She had never experienced paternal love, and for a moment, she felt curiosity and jealousy toward this fake father she had never met.
Xiao Wu was unhappy, wondering if her mother's affection would be stolen away!
"Get some rest. He's right next door, and you can see him tomorrow."
"What... next door!"
Xiao Wu immediately jumped off the bed. "Xiao Wu wants to see what kind of human he is!"
"No, he's already resting. We'll talk at dawn."
A Rou refused.
"But Xiao Wu isn't sleepy!"
Xiao Wu felt full of energy. With so much information to process, it was impossible to fall asleep.
"No, he's still at the age where he's growing; he shouldn't be woken up."
A Rou refused again.
Xiao Wu hugged A Rou's arm and began to act spoiled. In the past, whenever she used this move, A Rou would agree to anything, but today it clearly failed.
Xiao Wu curled her lip, her curiosity toward the human next door turning into dislike.
He was taking away her mother's love for her.
"Be good and rest. Tell me about what happened with you."
"How did you end up in Nuoding City?"
A Rou held Xiao Wu as they lay on the bed, and the two of them chatted until dawn.
Xiao Wu had originally wanted to avenge her mother, but now her mother was back.
A smile constantly played on her lips.
Sunlight was already shining into the room, and she still didn't want to get up from the bed until A Rou urged her.
She sat before the mirror.
Her mother combed her hair.
Xiao Wu felt that happiness had returned once again.
"So pretty, that should be fine."
A Rou looked at Xiao Wu's appearance with great satisfaction.
Sensing that the time was right.
She took Xiao Wu's hand and headed toward Su Wen's room.
A Rou instructed, "Behave yourself in a moment."
Xiao Wu muttered softly, "Xiao Wu won't listen to him in the future."
Knock knock!
A Rou gently knocked on the door.
Xiao Wu's other hand was clenched tight.
She was a bit nervous.
She didn't know what kind of human this fake father was.
Creak!
Ye Yuaner opened the door, looked at A Rou, and then at Xiao Wu.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
A Soft Bones Demon Rabbit!
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast was standing right before her eyes.
The more Ye Yuaner looked, the more she liked what she saw.
Fearing she would escape last night, Ye Yuaner hadn't even rested, her Mental Energy constantly monitoring Xiao Wu's situation.
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast was obtained so easily that Ye Yuaner still felt it was somewhat surreal.
Xiao Wu felt very uncomfortable being stared at, having a feeling of being seen through completely.
Following A Rou into the room, she immediately saw the familiar face she had just met yesterday.
Xiao Wu was both afraid and angry, raising her finger to point at Su Wen sitting on the sofa. "Mom, he's a bad person!"
Smack!
A Rou lightly slapped the back of Xiao Wu's head and glared at her. "What bad person... this will be your father from now on... be good, call him Papa..."
Buzz!
Xiao Wu felt a buzzing in her head, as if she were experiencing a sense of dizziness.
This hateful human had actually become her father?
Her eyes widened in an instant.
She couldn't believe it.
This human didn't seem that old either!
"I won't call him that! He's a bad person. Mom, don't believe him, he eats rabbits."
Xiao Wu thought of the Spicy Rabbit Heads, and the hair on her body stood on end.
If such a human were to be her father,
Wouldn't their mother-daughter pair be in danger at every moment?
They could be eaten clean at any time.
Smack!
A Rou raised her hand and delivered another slap, but this time it landed on Xiao Wu's face.
Her gentle expression vanished, replaced by sternness and seriousness. "Don't make me repeat myself!"
"Mom..."
A red mark appeared on Xiao Wu's fair face.
She covered her cheek.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
In her memory, this was the first time her mother had hit her.
Xiao Wu's eyes turned red.
She looked completely aggrieved.
Looking at A Rou's stern demeanor, under the pressure of the Bloodline, Xiao Wu lowered her head and called out to Su Wen with extreme reluctance... "Papa!"
"Xiao Wu, right?"
Su Wen placed his hand on Xiao Wu's head. Having an extra hundred-thousand-year-old daughter—truth be told—felt a bit strange. The latter wanted to dodge, but seeing A Rou's gaze, she instinctively shrank her neck and didn't dare make any other move.
"Hmph, the 'Wu' from dancing, Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu gave a soft, small huff.
"Well, it's not our first time meeting. Let me introduce myself formally. I am the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, Su Wen."
Su Wen pulled out a wristband-type storage spirit tool. "This is a meeting gift. There are presents inside for you, along with some stored carrots and gold coins. The gold coins will let you buy lots of delicious food."
"I don't want it..."
Xiao Wu was just about to refuse, but her lip curled when she heard 'carrots,' and hearing that gold coins could buy delicious food, she muttered softly, "Don't think this will make me accept you..."
Just as she finished muttering, Xiao Wu felt a deathly gaze.
A Rou didn't speak, but her look made Xiao Wu tremble slightly.
She had never seen her mother angry before; seeing it for the first time, it was actually quite terrifying.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Bi Ji walked in, bringing food from the hotel.
She set the table with all sorts of food. Among them, carrots were prepared in four different ways: stir-fried carrots, carrots with green vegetables, spicy stir-fried carrots, and carrots stir-fried with carrots. Xiao Wu watched from the side, her mouth watering.
"Sit down, let's eat and talk!"
Su Wen put the wristband on Xiao Wu and gestured for everyone to sit.
Xiao Wu was a little foodie; as soon as she sat down, she forgot her fear and started devouring the food.
"Manners!"
A Rou glared at her. Su Wen smiled. "It's fine, Xiao Wu can eat as she pleases!"
Wuwu... this bad person actually has a good side.
Xiao Wu's mouth was stuffed full as she stole a glance at Su Wen.
Throughout the meal, A Rou constantly pointed out Xiao Wu's faults, while Su Wen spoke up for her from the side.
Ye Yuaner and Bi Ji watched quietly without interrupting.
But they could feel that Xiao Wu seemed to have developed a bit of a good impression of Su Wen.
Ye Yuaner curled her lip slightly; this Spirit Beast was far too easy to deceive.
If she were sold, she'd probably still be helping them count the money.
“Burp, so full!”
Xiao Wu patted her small belly. Since leaving the Star Dou Great Forest,
This was the first time she had eaten so much and so well.
Food in the human World always required money.
And Xiao Wu didn't know where to get money.
Xiao Wu stole another glance at Su Wen, then quickly lowered her head.
If this bad person keeps giving her good food, he might not be unacceptable.
"Boss... you've all finished eating, why didn't you call me?"
Tian Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes as she walked into the room, seeing the empty plates on the table.
Her face was full of displeasure.
She was also surprised to see Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu gave her a small huff in return.
