Chapter Sixteen: Teasing Little Loli
"Huh? Fat brother, what are you doing on the ground? Are you hurt? Is it serious?!... Ah!!!" Little Lori Wen Xiyue jumped into the yard with a burst of energy, asking about Wu Yeyu's strange behavior, and then when she saw the ice crystal water tank and the fish inside, she suddenly became flustered, even putting aside her concern for Wu Yeyu's injury.
After hearing Wen Xiyue's question, Wu Yeyu was about to answer when his mind suddenly relaxed, and then he opened his mouth, releasing the air that had been stuck inside him. His body posture could no longer be maintained, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, sounding like a donkey that had just run tens of kilometers. His whole body still felt a slight stinging pain.
"Wow! It's really beautiful, how is this water tank transparent? Is it made of crystal?" As she thought about it, a flash of water-like color flickered in Xiaoluo's eyes, and then, holding her little finger, she poked the surface several times before shaking her head.
The little loli who came back to her senses turned her head and saw that Wu Yeru was lying on the ground, his body slightly **. She quickly ran over, helped Wu Yeru up from his prone position, and picked out a few pieces of grass from his hair.
"Fat brother, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Is it serious?" Wen Xiyue's face was full of worried expression.
"Phew... it's nothing, I was just practicing my skills, not injured, don't worry, I'm just tired." Wu Yeyu said after taking a long breath.
Although his body was aching slightly earlier, it wasn't that serious, and the pain came and went quickly. Now he only felt numbness, which didn't affect his movements much. Stretching his limbs, Wu Ye Yu stood up with Xiao Luo Li's support, then moved around some more, and his body recovered.
"It's okay now, I was just practicing my moves and got a bit carried away, so my body is a bit uncomfortable, nothing serious, don't worry." Wu Ye Yu explained, then patted her head with one hand.
"Practicing martial arts? Ha ha! How could there be such an ugly technique, just now I saw you, Fatty, lying on the ground with a red face, is this also considered practicing?" Wen Xiyue said skeptically.
"Of course! This kung fu of mine is one-of-a-kind on the mainland, and although it may look a bit awkward when practicing, its effects are huge. Not only can it help you master your body more easily, but it also has the effect of washing your bones and marrow. As for Little Loli, Wu Yeyu still doesn't have much guard against her, nor does he need to. After all, she's still young and kind-hearted, with her own sense of right and wrong."
"Hehe! Fat brother is bragging! Still talking about washing the tendons and breaking the marrow, don't think I don't know! Grandpa already told me that washing the tendons and breaking the marrow is a rare encounter that can only be obtained when one's cultivation breaks through, it's something that can be encountered but not sought after. Hehehe! Got caught by me? Big tail wolf, shy shy shy~!" Then Little Lori made a face at herself while scratching her own face with her finger, as if she was really deceiving her.
"Go! Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. My clan has countless kind-hearted and talented individuals, and there are even more legendary geniuses who can create their own sects. The various cultivation methods are also incredibly diverse and wondrous. How do you know that there isn't a method out there that has this effect? It's just that you haven't seen it yourself!" Wu Ye Yu was suddenly not calm, hastily refuting the little loli's disdain.
"Oh~ Shy shy shy! I just knew it, I just knew it, Fat Brother is a big bad wolf, oh~" Wu Ye Yu had just finished explaining, but unexpectedly Little Loli became even more energetic, using her fingers to scratch her face, making her tender cheeks turn red, and she was laughing while also teasing Wu Ye Yu.
"Hmph! You actually dare to not believe me, huh? Well, if you don't believe me, take a sniff. Doesn't my body smell really strong? This is just after I've washed and scrubbed myself clean. This thing can't fool people, right?" Wu Ye Yu wouldn't normally argue with a child, but when it came to matters of personal integrity, she was extremely particular. And being questioned by a little loli like this was unbearable! So she pulled out her wide sleeve and stretched it out towards Wen Xue Yue.
"Huh? Really? Then let me take a sniff!" Seeing Wu Ye Yu's serious expression, Wen Xue Yue also looked suspicious for a moment, and subconsciously leaned her head forward. "Ew! You smell so bad! Brother, you stink! You must have gotten something dirty on you, hurry up and go wash yourself!"
The little loli leaned forward slightly and sniffed, then immediately jumped out far away, her facial expression became strange, wrinkling her small nose, and fanning herself in front of her.
"Ha! You're just being overly sensitive! I've just detoxed, so my body has gotten rid of a lot of waste. That's why it smells bad!" Wu Yeyu said with a smug expression on his face, "Now do you believe me? Hmph!"
After finishing, she twisted her body and went into the room to take a bath. The little loli, on the other hand, made a face at the house after Wu Ye Yu entered, then shifted her attention back to the ice crystal fish tank, touching it repeatedly before taking out her phone to take pictures.
"It's so beautiful! Especially when there's sunshine, yeah, the fish varieties are a bit different, but they look great too." Wen Xiyue hummed a little tune while strolling around the yard, with her hands behind her back and an air of being a little adult. She looked at the orchids in the grass, then picked up a few pieces of colored stones that Wu Yeyu had just brought over from the stone pile, playing happily without stopping for a moment, truly like a child who can't stay still for a second.
After scrubbing himself clean, Wu Yeru changed into another set of clothes and tidied up a bit before heading towards the courtyard. As for the dirty clothes, he'd just have to wait until he had time to wash them later...
"It seems that I still need to go out and buy some clothes, at this rate, the few pieces my mom made are really not enough to wear, and there's shoes, underwear and stuff, geez! Guess I should hurry up and make some money."
As she entered the courtyard, she took a glance and saw little loli taking pictures with her phone. Her delicate face was close to the orchid, one hand holding the phone, click, her small face and the orchid were both captured on screen. Seeing this scene, Wu Ye Yu smiled and also took out her phone from her pocket to take some shots, planning to keep this moment in memory, who knows when she'll take it out again to reminisce.
After taking a few more photos, she put her phone in her clothes and leaned over to Wen Xiyue, who was focused on taking pictures, and said: "How's that? Now you believe me, my skills are quite amazing, and I don't usually tell people about it."
Little loli looked at Wu Ye Yu's triumphant expression, turned her small face away, and scrunched up her little nose. "Hmph! Who knows where you got that stinky smell from, I don't believe it!"
"Ah! You're such a stubborn little loli, I've already done this, and you still don't believe me." Wu Ye Yu looked at the proud little loli in front of him, feeling amused in his heart. "Alright then! If you don't believe me, come find me here every day. Whatever way I practice, you can cultivate in the same way. When you've learned it successfully, you'll understand for yourself."
"Hmph! Who cares, I'm not interested in such ugly kung fu!" Wen Xueyue's expression at this moment was quite interesting, with a somewhat moved look on her face, but she still tried to maintain an air of disdain. Her eyes were narrowed and her mouth was pursed up, as if she could hang things from it. This was probably what they meant by "proud and arrogant".
"Snap!" Wu Yeyu couldn't bear to let this moment disappear, and quickly took out his phone to capture it!
"Ahh! Delete it quickly! Why did you take a picture of me? Hurry up and delete it! I look terrible!" Wen Xiyue was startled, then her face changed drastically. She leaned forward, pounced on Wu Yeyu's body, and snatched his phone.
"Hmph! Are you scared now? Didn't believe me, did you? Come and learn some moves with me. If you can master them before I do, I'll delete this photo. How about that?" Wu Ye Yu sneered, seeing that Xiao Luo Li was still not giving in, he added another sentence, "Although my technique may not look very elegant when practiced, it actually has beauty benefits. Practicing it regularly will make your skin whiter and more tender!"
The little loli suddenly stopped moving and her face was full of excitement, "Really?!"
"Go ahead, don't believe me? Try it out if you have the guts! You'll know then!" Wu Yeyu said with a scornful face, but couldn't help feeling a little amused inside. It seems that no matter how old or young, all girls are very particular about this.
"Alright! Since you've asked me so sincerely, I'll be your girlfriend then." After saying that, the little loli agilely climbed off Wu Ye Yu's body and walked towards the outside of the courtyard. When she was about to leave the yard, she turned her head back and said: "If you dare to deceive me, beware! My punishment is very severe! I'll come over tomorrow morning!" Then her petite figure quickly disappeared.
"Hehe, this little girl..." Wu Yeyu muttered to himself as he watched her disappearing back.
A basic manual, not even in Wu Ye Yu's eyes, the reason why it was so dull and white to let the little loli learn, was just to make a good connection. After all, from the previous attitude of the Wu family towards her, this little girl was obviously born into a noble family, and being able to get along with her family through her, sharing a basic secret book, in Wu Ye Yu's opinion, it was still worth it. Moreover, Wu Ye Yu really liked this little loli, teaching her something naturally didn't matter, but actually Wu Ye Yu didn't realize that when considering this way, she herself was also a little fatty.
If it were someone Wu Yeru disliked, forget about teaching them any skills, they wouldn't even think of taking advantage of you. After all, who isn't a fool, being able to create beneficial relationships in a limited environment is still very important. Especially for Wu Yeru, who has an awkward position in the family, now that he has the opportunity to take advantage of a good relationship, it might come in handy later on. Wu Yeru didn't plan on spending his whole life in this small town, and when his wings are full-grown, haha, that's when his thrilling life will truly begin~
