71: A soft bunny? Xiao Ling?! Just call me Su!

Just as Su Mo was feeling parched and his mind was swaying.

The unparalleled beauty in front of him, her long eyelashes fluttered gently, and then slowly opened.

What beautiful eyes they were!

Clear, lively, full of curiosity, and hiding a hint of innocent naivety.

She seemed a little confused, blinked her eyes, and looked around at the strange environment.

Then her gaze fell on Su Mo.

When she clearly saw Su Mo's young and handsome face, a clear look of surprise flashed in her beautiful pink eyes.

Human?

She actually... saw a real human!

After growing up, this was the first time she had seen intelligent life other than her own people!

And he was also a... handsome human youth!

The moment Su Mo saw her eyes, he finally recovered from his astonishment.

He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the heat in his heart that was almost bursting out.

No!

Calm down!

Must be calm!

He was a man who had been with the National Goddess!

How could he act like an inexperienced country bumpkin in front of a woman he had just met!

That would be too embarrassing!

Su Mo warned himself over and over again in his heart.

Then he forced out a "sincere" and "friendly" smile on his face, ready to go up and greet this stunning beauty.

But just as he was about to speak.

The beauty opposite him spoke first.

"You... hello, human."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a sound from heaven.

And it was also a little... soft, sweet, and charming.

Just listening to this voice made Su Mo feel like his bones were almost melting.

She looked at Su Mo, seemingly a little nervous, and also a little curious.

"My name is Xiao Wu, what about you?"

Ah—!!!

When the words "Xiao Wu" came out of her mouth.

Su Mo felt as if a hundred thousand tons of dynamite had been simultaneously detonated in his mind!

Xiao... Xiao Wu?!

Pink long hair!

Pink eyes!

Scorpion braid!

And this... almost identical white long dress!

Su Mo stared intently at the woman's figure in front of him.

In his mind, a name that was too familiar to be more familiar, and a figure that was too familiar to be more familiar, instantly overlapped with the woman in front of him!

No way?!

How the hell... could this happen?!

A fictional character that should only exist in novels and anime actually appeared alive in front of him!

How the hell... was this so fantastical?!

Could it be that this world was not just a parallel world?

Or was this so-called "Gaia Game" connected not just to Planet Blue Star, but... to all the myriad worlds?!

Huge waves surged in Su Mo's heart.

But the expression on his face returned to calm in the shortest possible time.

He looked at the "Xiao Wu" in front of him, who was looking at him with a curious expression, his brain rapidly working.

No!

Something's not right!

Although this Xiao Wu in front of him, whether in appearance, figure, or attire, was almost identical to the one in his memory.

But her temperament was slightly different.

The Xiao Wu in his memory was lively, cheerful, and sometimes even a little... willful.

While this Xiao Wu in front of him, although equally spiritual, gave people a feeling of being more... gentle, charming, and... innocent.

Like a blank slate, ignorant of the ways of the world.

And most importantly.

Su Mo didn't feel a trace of soul power fluctuation from her.

She was like an ordinary, overly beautiful... girl next door.

What exactly was going on?

Su Mo's heart was full of doubts.

He decided to test her.

"Hello, my name is Su Mo."

Su Mo extended his hand proactively.

"Su Mo?" Xiao Wu blinked her watery big eyes, seemingly chewing on the name.

She didn't shake Su Mo's hand, seemingly not understanding the etiquette, and just tilted her head and asked curiously:

"Are you also here to participate in this... what's it called, 'Gaia Game'?"

"Mm." Su Mo nodded, silently withdrawing his hand.

"Great!"

Xiao Wu's face broke into a happy smile, "This is the first time I've participated in this kind of game with humans other than my own people, and I don't understand anything. From now on, I'll have to ask you to take good care of me!"

She smiled sweetly at Su Mo.

That smile could simply melt a person's heart.

Su Mo felt his heart skip another beat.

He forcefully steadied himself and asked casually, "Xiao Wu, can I ask you a question?"

"Hmm? Go ahead and ask."

"Is your true form... a Soft Bone Rabbit?"

Su Mo's gaze was fixed on Xiao Wu's eyes, not wanting to miss any subtle change in her expression.

However, Xiao Wu's reaction greatly disappointed him.

She first froze, and then a puzzled expression appeared on her delicate pretty face.

"Soft Bone Rabbit? What's that? Is it a type of rabbit?"

She... didn't know?

Su Mo's heart sank sharply.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

She just looked similar and had the same name, but was not... that person?

"Then do you... know a man named Tang?" Su Mo continued to press, unwilling to give up.

"A man named Tang?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head, thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I don't. Is he very important?"

"No... not important."

Su Mo's heart sank.

It seemed he really was overthinking things.

After all, how could a character that only existed in novels truly appear in the real world?

This one in front of him should just be a very similar-looking "ordinary player" from another world, or another dimension.

Thinking of this, Su Mo felt both a little disappointed and a little... relieved.

He was relieved that she wasn't.

Otherwise, if he really were to... to her Xiao Wu in front of a certain someone, the thought alone was a bit thrilling.

Just as Su Mo was lost in thought.

Xiao Wu opposite him suddenly seemed to remember something and corrected him:

"Oh, by the way, Su Mo. I'm not a Soft Bone Rabbit, I'm a Gentle Charming Rabbit!"

Gentle... Charming Rabbit?!

Su Mo's eyelids twitched.

A single word difference, but the meaning was vastly different.

One "bone," one "charming."

The former was resilience, fortitude.

The latter was... allure, temptation.

Su Mo's gaze once again uncontrollably fell on Xiao Wu's exquisite face, which naturally carried a charming allure, enough to drive any man crazy.

Coupled with the natural, innocent charm she had inadvertently revealed just now.

A bold guess instantly surged in Su Mo's heart.

Could it be that... this Xiao Wu was just a twin sister of a certain parallel world's Xiao Wu, with a similar name and appearance?!

Or rather, was she... a beautified version?

That... would be too impressive!

"And," Xiao Wu continued, a hint of slight pride in her voice, "you're the first human I've ever seen!"

The first... human?!

This was a huge amount of information!

This meant that the world Xiao Wu lived in had no humans!

It also meant that she was full of curiosity about him and the human race!

An unparalleled beauty who was full of curiosity about you, ignorant of the ways of the world, and whose combat power was... temporarily unknown!

Looking at this Xiao Wu in front of him, who was staring at him unblinkingly with her pure and curious big eyes, an incredibly wicked and incredibly exciting thought emerged from Su Mo's mind.

Since you don't know that man named Tang.

Then from now on... you'll take my surname, Su!
