Chapter 286: I Want This Sky to Never Again

"The morning sun is so beautiful..."

Xiao Wu leaned against Qin Jian's shoulder.

Qin Jian gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Qin Jian affectionately kissed her flushed little face: "It is, very beautiful."

"Brother..."

Xiao Wu looked back in his arms: "Do you like Zhuqing... or me more?"

Qin Jian... froze.

Xiao Wu tilted her head up, seeing his blank expression as he didn't know what to say, and couldn't help but pout: "It must be Zhuqing, right? She uses Catnip! And she can even perform Martial Soul Possession!"

The more she said, the angrier she got; the more she said, the angrier she got.

Xiao Wu suddenly said: "Who can't perform Martial Soul Possession? I can even turn into a Rabbit!"

Qin Jian felt ashamed.

He couldn't imagine what it would feel like to do it with a rabbit...

"Xiao Wu, there's no need to compare yourself to anyone in this matter. After all, we aren't doing this for fleeting pleasure; what we want is an intimate emotional connection."

Qin Jian held her tighter and said softly: "As long as our hearts are together, we can achieve the most ultimate sensation."

Xiao Wu blinked her eyes: "Is this the difference between humans and Soul Beasts? Soul Beasts don't have such intense emotions, and mating is just for reproduction, but humans treat this as a bridge for communication, using it to enhance their intimacy."

She said thoughtfully: "This is the first time I've felt that humans truly have a side unique to them; this kind of emotional exchange is something Soul Beasts will never have."

Qin Jian nodded and began to help her put on her clothes.

"If one indulges in desire without restraint, then there is no difference from a Soul Beast. There are also many people like that, pursuing only the enjoyment of pleasure while ignoring the intimacy of the Spirit, and mindless mating is as boring as a beast..."

Xiao Wu let him help her put on her clothes one by one, then turned around to help him put his on as well.

Qin Jian opened his arms and let her fuss over him.

Although they were very inexperienced, both were immersed in it, enjoying this moment of having no distance between them.

"Xiao Wu, some things might happen after the finals..."

After they finished tidying up for each other, Qin Jian held Xiao Wu and stood on the balcony watching the morning sun.

The red clouds filled the sky, brilliant and colorful.

Qin Jian said softly: "Afterward, I might have to be separated from you for a while, you..."

"Brother, where are you going?"

Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, looking up slightly as she asked: "Are you not going to train with me anymore?"

Qin Jian hugged her from behind, his hands covering her small hands, wrapping them tightly: "Xiao Wu, my training is different from yours. My goals are designated, but you can go anywhere. So, it's fine if you stay with Zhuqing and the others afterward, or return to the Star Dou Great Forest until you reach Level 60; both are fine."

Xiao Wu leaned her head back against his chest and whispered: "I only want to follow you."

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "Xiao Wu, there really is no other way this time, but don't worry, I will come to find you in a few years."

"Brother..."

Xiao Wu turned around, her cheek pressed against his chest: "Are we destined to be separated? Just like you, Zhuqing, and Rongrong?"

Qin Jian opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

He suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the same with Zhu Zhuqing last time; they had to break up after doing it, making it feel like a 'breakup session,' which felt particularly tiresome and unsatisfying...

Xiao Wu looked up at his expression; she didn't seem unhappy at all, but instead said with a giggle: "You don't have to be like this. Anyway, I only want to be your little sister, I don't want to be a lover, so breaking up... it doesn't matter at all."

Qin Jian blinked, a bit bewildered.

What kind of situation is this? Did the God Trial rules ever consider this scenario? They finished everything, and now she's forcing herself to be a little sister...

He guessed that if there was someone manipulating the God Trial behind the scenes, they should be vomiting blood right about now...

"But Xiao Wu..."

Qin Jian thought for a moment and said: "If we break up, then we aren't a couple, so naturally we can't do what we did last night anymore."

Xiao Wu's pretty face changed: "Why can't we?!"

Qin Jian scratched his head: "How can we do these things as brother and sister?"

"Why can't we do these things?"

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and said indignantly: "Isn't a brother-sister relationship meant to help... mmph..."

Qin Jian hurriedly covered her little mouth with his hand and said: "Stop talking, if you keep going, we'll be censored by the heaven-ordained rules!"

"Mmph mmph... what heaven-ordained broken rules! I want this sky to never again be able to cover..."

Qin Jian pressed down on Xiao Wu firmly: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble! The sky hasn't offended you, don't just go around wanting to overturn it!"

"Mmph mmph... isn't this an offense?"

Xiao Wu pulled his large hand away and said indignantly: "We do what we want to do, why should we be regulated? Why should we be restricted? We are Humanoid Spirit Beasts; we went through so much trouble to become human, are we here just to be bound?"

Qin Jian blinked, discovering for the first time that Xiao Wu actually possessed the heaven-defying spirit that accompanies transmigrators. Could this girl be a transmigrator too...

He glanced at Xiao Wu, then shook his head to himself.

If she were a transmigrator, with the typical hostility transmigrators often harbor, she should have eaten this Love Flower of his the moment she found it; how could there be any possibility of her foolishly watering it for Ten Thousand Years...

Of course, even if she wanted to eat it... she couldn't, and there would be a possibility of being consumed in return.

"Xiao Wu, things like rules aren't something you can just break whenever you want, and the sky wasn't born for everyone to defy..."

Qin Jian hugged her tighter and said gently: "When we are still weak, we can only comply with it. Only when we are strong can we attempt to change it."

"If you insist on opposing it, in the end, you will only be accompanied by pain and be unable to do anything."

He looked at the sky and said: "I don't want these rules either, but since they have descended upon me, I will comply for now and wait for the day of rebellion..."

Xiao Wu could feel the unwillingness surging beneath Qin Jian's calm words. She silently grabbed his hand and said: "No matter what you want to do, I will wait for you. Whether it's breaking up or separating temporarily, it actually doesn't matter at all."

She tried hard to make her expression look happier: "This little bit of time is nothing to us at all. Aside from not being able to do that thing, there's no difference in anything else..."

"I will wait for you forever, wait for you to come back, wait for you to be with me forever..."

She quietly hooked her arm through Qin Jian's, her eyes filled with attachment.

"Alright, I promise you."

Qin Jian looked into Xiao Wu's eyes earnestly, without the slightest evasion.

"The finals will start before long, let's go down..."

Qin Jian put his arm around Xiao Wu's willow waist, intending to take her down to reunite with the Shrek group; the finals would begin in just a few hours.

But Xiao Wu suddenly tugged at him, an unusual look appearing in her eyes: "We won't be able to be like that for a long time, right? Since that's the case..."
