Chapter 28: Chapter 28: First Encounter with Xiao Wu – My Home’s Big and Fun!
"Tomorrow morning marks the opening day at Nuoding Academy! If I remember correctly, in the original timeline, Tang San also first met Xiao Wu there."
"If my calculations are correct, Xiao Wu should arrive in Nuoding City tonight. However, with no money, she'll likely have to endure the harsh outdoors. This is the perfect opportunity to meet her and win her favor as a newcomer!"
With a faint smile, Yao Xuan's mind was already formulating a plan.
"Keisha, use your abilities to transform this place a bit, will you?"
Entering the small courtyard, Yao Xuan smiled and gave the command.
"As you wish, Master," Keisha replied with a nod, activating her angelic powers.
In an instant, the modest, unassuming house expanded into a spacious villa, complete with luxurious furnishings and opulent decor.
"Wow, Master, Sister Keisha is incredible! Not only is she powerful, but she can do so many amazing things!"
Watching the transformation, Tushan Susu's eyes revealed a faint trace of envy as she looked at Keisha with newfound admiration.
"Indeed, your Sister Keisha is remarkable, but you're just as wonderful, Susu," Yao Xuan said with a gentle smile, stroking Tushan Susu's hair to comfort her. "And at the academy, you're my younger sister. So, during this time, don't call me 'Master'; call me 'Brother Yao Xuan,' alright?"
"Okay, Brother Yao Xuan!" Susu perked up at his reassurance, smiling sweetly.
"Keisha, I have another task for you. Use your divine sense to locate a girl named Xiao Wu. Her main features are..."
Once Susu regained her cheer, Yao Xuan turned to Keisha and issued his next command.
"Understood," Keisha said with a nod. She extended her divine sense but, moments later, shook her head and reported, "Master, she hasn't arrived in Nuoding City yet."
"Alright, let's continue training then. After our last session, I've felt a significant improvement in my control over my martial soul and soul skills," Yao Xuan decided.
Without further delay, Keisha summoned a simulation of Tang San, and Yao Xuan resumed his combat training.
By six in the evening, after defeating Tang San's simulated form hundreds of times, Yao Xuan felt his mind clear and his grasp of his martial soul and techniques grow even more refined.
Following the rigorous training, a sweat-drenched Yao Xuan headed to the villa's bathhouse, where he shared a rejuvenating soak with Keisha and Susu, savoring the moment of blissful relaxation.
"Keisha, scan for Xiao Wu once more," Yao Xuan requested after dressing, noticing Keisha's slightly flushed cheeks.
"Yes, Master," she replied. Activating her divine sense again, Keisha scanned Nuoding City.
"Master, I've found her. She's in the eastern part of the city," Keisha reported this time.
"Excellent! Susu, it's your turn to shine now," Yao Xuan said with a smile, leaning in to whisper instructions in Tushan Susu's ear.
"Understood, Brother Yao Xuan," Susu nodded confidently.
"Keisha, take us to Xiao Wu," Yao Xuan ordered.
In the blink of an eye, Keisha transported the trio near Xiao Wu.
When Yao Xuan looked closely, he saw a lively and adorable young girl about his age, slightly shorter than him. Her round, rosy cheeks and bright, energetic eyes exuded charm. Behind her swayed a long scorpion braid that extended past her slender waist and fell to her hips. Though young, she was undoubtedly a budding beauty.
"Such a lovely Xiao Wu. In the original timeline, she was squandered by Tang San. What a waste! With me here, that won't happen again," Yao Xuan thought, his resolve hardening.
"Not just Xiao Wu—Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang... these beautiful girls must also be saved from being sullied by Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun!"
With this in mind, Yao Xuan took Susu's hand and approached Xiao Wu.
"Look, Brother Yao Xuan! What an adorable little girl!" Susu exclaimed as they neared Xiao Wu.
"Indeed, Susu. She's truly a cute girl," Yao Xuan replied, smiling warmly.
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment! I'm Xiao Wu, as in 'dance.' What about you two?" Xiao Wu's attention was caught by the conversation, and she turned to greet the pair with a cheerful introduction.
"Xiao Wu, that's such a nice name! I'm Yao Xuan, and this is my sister, Susu," Yao Xuan introduced them with a friendly smile.
"Nice to meet you, Yao Xuan and Susu!" Xiao Wu responded with a sweet grin.
"By the way, Xiao Wu, from your attire, you don't seem to be a local here in Nuoding City, right?" Yao Xuan asked.
"Wow, you're sharp! You're right—I came here to enroll in the Soul Master Academy. Look!" Xiao Wu said, pulling out her recommendation letter and waving it proudly.
"That's great! What a coincidence; we're classmates then!" Yao Xuan said, displaying his and Susu's recommendation letters.
"Really? We're classmates? That's amazing!" Xiao Wu's excitement was evident, her innocent face lighting up with joy.
"Yes, it must be fate! Since we're classmates, let's exchange contact information. My home is near the academy. What about you, Xiao Wu?" Yao Xuan inquired.
"Ah... I don't have a place to stay yet," Xiao Wu admitted sheepishly before her eyes lit up. "Since we're classmates, can I stay at your place for the night?"
"Of course, Xiao Wu! We can't let a classmate sleep on the streets, right, Susu?" Yao Xuan asked with a grin.
"Definitely not, Brother Yao Xuan. Xiao Wu can stay with us!" Susu agreed eagerly.
"Then it's settled. Welcome, Xiao Wu! My house is big and full of fun things to do!" Yao Xuan said gently, meeting Xiao Wu's bright eyes with a reassuring smile.
