Even though Wu Yue didn't see this little boy as a threat at all, the other party clearly didn't think so. He even regarded Wu Yue as his mortal enemy, pointing at him and saying, "It's you again! You bastard!"
"Heh, we meet again... Hayate-kun." Mugetsu gave him a forced smile, especially noticing the square scarf on his head. Then she turned her gaze to Uzuki Yugao. "What exactly happened?"
Uzuki Yugao pouted and said angrily, "This guy is always bothering me! He even said that Onii-chan is a pervert!"
That's going too far!
Wu Yue narrowed her eyes, her gaze cold. Especially the part about her being a pervert—how could she possibly tolerate that?
"I didn't say anything wrong!" Although being stared at by the other person made Gekko Hayate feel an urge to run away, he forced himself to remain calm in front of the girl he loved, saying, "It's already spread that you shouted that you were the 'Breast Superman' and the 'Panty Terminator' during the battle! And, and before that... you even admitted to being the 'Pacifier King'!"
Wow, this little idiot knows quite a lot... Shall we silence him?
Wu Yue's lips twitched, and she thought to herself with ill intent.
But Uzuki Yugao still tried to argue, shouting, "Even if all of this is true! It doesn't erase Onii-chan's achievements! He's a hero... not a pervert!"
Wow, I'm so touched! To be trusted so unconditionally is truly wonderful!
Wu Yue trembled, feeling as if he had been won over by a little girl. Just then, a system notification interrupted his emotions.
Make your choice, dear host.
First, admit you're a pervert: Write the word "pervert" on Moonlight Gale's head and sign your name.
Second, deceive yourself into thinking you're a hero: Draw the hero's trajectory on Uzuki Yugao's flat chest and sign your name.
Haha, two options? This really doesn't require wasting time deciding...
Cursing inwardly, Wuyue looked at Moonlight Gale with pity. She wondered if the child's heart could bear it.
However, to Moonlight Gale, that look was full of provocation. It instantly enraged him, and he yelled, "What kind of hero is this! This guy is just a pervert who likes young girls!"
· ……
He likes young girls?!
A vein bulged on Wuyue's forehead. The sympathy that had just risen within him vanished instantly, and his expression turned cold. A powerful aura emanated from his body.
"What...what are you going to do?" Under the weight of this aura, Moonlight Gale felt as if he were facing not a human, but some kind of ferocious beast from the ancient wilderness. The panic and fear in his heart made him tremble like a leaf, his scalp tingling.
Dragon's Might!
Things are different now. After his initial transformation into a dragon, Wuyue's dragon might has undergone a qualitative change. It can not only affect beasts, but also exert a great deterrent effect on intelligent beings of lower strength.
"Nothing."
Wuyue approached the other person step by step, removing the square scarf from his head to reveal a bright green scalp. "You're right, I really am a pervert! And I especially enjoy bullying cute boys like you!"
This guy's hair grows pretty fast. It's only been a few days, and he's already starting to get stubble.
While thinking this, Wuyue's hands didn't stop moving at all. She decisively took out a brush from her ninja tool bag, used bright red paint as ink, and wrote the word "pervert" on the other person's head. Then, she signed her name.
"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with fifty days of cultivation and five years of dragon growth cycle."
The notification sound in her mind finally eased Wuyue's stiff expression a little. She patted Yueguang Jifeng's cheek and said lightly, "I'm giving you a lesson. Don't bother Xiyue-chan anymore."
Pfft!
The moment he withdrew his imposing aura, Moonlight Gale collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant, as if unfocused.
Muyue ignored him and, holding Uzuki Yugao's hand, brushed past him and left.
187 The so-called new skills
"Yugao-chan..." At the crossroads, Wuyue stopped and said, "You should live around here, right?"
Uzuki Yugao nodded and said, "Hmm. That's enough for now, thank you Muzuki-onii."
"No need to thank me." Wuyue waved her hand and smiled, "Just be good. Next time that Moonlight Gale comes to bother you, tell me."
"Mmm, I know." Uzuki Yugao nodded, her expression suddenly becoming a little awkward. "Um, um... Muzuki-onii. There's something I want to tell you."
"What?" Wuyue blinked, looking very puzzled.
"Hey, come closer." Uzuki Yugao puffed out her rosy cheeks and stared straight at him with her big, watery eyes. "Nobody can hear us."
"Huh? Is it that mysterious?" Wuyue didn't think much of it and lowered her head to bring her face closer.
boo.
Unexpectedly, Uzuki Yugao took the initiative and pressed her lips to his cheek, giving him a light kiss. She stammered, "Actually, actually... no matter if Muzuki-onii is a pervert or not, I... I like him very much." With that, she turned and left like a startled rabbit.
Huh? Did I get flirted with?
Wuyue watched the other person's departing figure and scratched her head. She actually... she was charmed by a little girl? This is... kind of amazing! Turns out, she's a hidden lecher?!
No, impossible! I'm not a child fetishist!
She quickly shook her head to clear these thoughts from her mind and walked towards her home.
Squeak.
Wuyue took out his key and was about to open the door when the person inside beat him to it. And, unexpectedly, it wasn't his adoptive parents, but his older sister—Kushina.
"Yo, Muzuki. Welcome back."
The young lady looked youthful and beautiful as ever, wearing a tasteful beige dress, her bright red hair tied in a ponytail behind her head, and a clean, gentle smile on her face, giving off a cheerful and cheerful vibe.
"Ah, I'm back..." Wuyue stared blankly at the other person, instinctively responding. Then she realized, "Wait, what's this young lady doing here?"
“I went to the hospital before, and they said you’ve already been discharged.”
Kushina opened the door and let the other person in. "Then, I thought you'd probably be home. So, I came straight here. Oh, right. Shinku-senpai said they have a party tonight, so they might be back late."
Another party?!
Wuyue inwardly scoffed, but showed no sign of it on her face. "Is that so? Has Kushina-neechan eaten yet? If not, we can go out..." She abruptly stopped there.
His gaze had already fallen upon a square object on the table; if he wasn't mistaken, it was probably a lunchbox. Surely it was! Miss, please don't... I'm scared!
"Going out? No need to go out." Kushina closed the door behind her and said casually, "I've already brought you some food, it should be enough for two people."
Is that really the case?
Wuyue's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat. He had eaten Kushina's cooking before; the taste, if not extremely poisonous, was certainly not something an ordinary human could tolerate. Even a dragon would probably find it difficult to swallow.
"What's wrong?" Kushina, who was already standing by the table, tilted her head, a pure smile on her face. "Do you have a problem with my cooking?"
"No, no..." Wuyue dared not reveal her true thoughts.
Even with his weak perception, he could clearly see that the other party's smile was merely superficial; beneath it, waves of black energy were churning! That was a terrifying chaos capable of devouring everything!
"Really not?"
"Really, really! Absolutely not..."
"That's good." Kushina nodded, seemingly satisfied, and unpacked the package on the table. "Come and try my new creation; it took me all day to make."
New, new craft?
Wu Yue's forehead was beaded with even more sweat, and her face had almost turned purplish-red. If her signature dishes were already so bad they were hard to swallow, just how poisonous would this new creation be?!
However, when the lunchbox was fully opened, Wuyue was taken aback.
It wasn't the dark, mushy mess he'd expected. On the contrary, judging by its appearance alone, the food in the lunchbox could be described as "exquisite."
They were neatly arranged little biscuits, coated with a layer of soft jam or similar substance, colorful and looking very tempting and delicious.
"This...this was made by the young lady?" Wu Yue was utterly incredulous. This was completely unconventional! A rising star in the world of culinary disasters had actually transformed into a pastry master?!
“Of course.” Kushina seemed quite proud of her work, tilting her head back. “How is it? Doesn’t it look great?”
This isn't just great, it's beyond your original vision!
Thinking this to herself, Wuyue nodded slightly, eagerly picked up a small biscuit, and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, without any warning, she spat it all out with a "pfft".
188 Do you want me to step on your head?
It's awful! Absolutely awful! It's so damn awful! No human could possibly swallow it!
These were Wuyue's first sensations as he put the baked flatbread into his mouth. Though it was a dessert, it allowed him to taste sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors in an instant… a microcosm of life itself.
Even memories flashed through his mind: a long-haired Grim Reaper carrying a large red lantern was quietly watching him on the banks of the Sanzu River, the two gazing at each other from afar.
This isn't a rant, nor is it a drill! It's the truth! The fact that Mugetsu would risk being hacked to pieces by Kushina after she turned evil to vomit up the food speaks volumes.
"I'm sorry, Miss." After gulping down several mouthfuls of tea, Wuyue said breathlessly, "This... I really can't enjoy it. I apologize."
Kushina was initially taken aback by his exaggerated attitude, then became annoyed. But looking into his seemingly genuine eyes, she grew suspicious. "Is it really that bad?"
"Well, you can try it yourself," Wuyue said, carefully choosing her words.
Kushina hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth. "If it's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be, you're dead!" She was practically risking everything to prove her skills. She grabbed a piece of biscuit and put it in her mouth, chewing.
However, after just one bite, her face turned from red to white, then from white to green, until her entire pretty face turned ashen. "Pah! Pah! Pah! My God! Is this even edible?"
"I don't think so?" Wuyue nodded empathetically, then suddenly realized. "No, that's not what I meant. I meant... the texture is pretty good, but the taste is..."
"Don't try to comfort me." Kushina waved her hand and sighed. "Sigh! I even added some soy sauce and vinegar, thinking it would enhance the flavor."
What the hell?! Soy sauce and vinegar! I've never heard of adding these to desserts before! It's absolutely outrageous! No wonder it tastes so chaotic.
Wu Yue's lips twitched violently, and the words of comfort she was about to say turned into a sigh.
"This is really troublesome." Kushina said, rubbing a strand of hair at her temple, looking quite distressed. "Judging from this, I'm afraid I won't be able to make my own wedding cakes anymore."
Pfft! You're actually planning to make your own wedding cake? Hey, are you trying to poison all the guests who arrive?
Unable to contain her inner吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks), Wuyue mentally unleashed a torrent of complaints. But quickly, she realized something else. "Miss, the marriage you're talking about is..."
"Hmm. I haven't mentioned this to you yet." Kushina blinked and said, "When Minato brought you back this time, he also gave me a marriage proposal letter."
Wu Yue was slightly surprised and said, "A marriage proposal? You said yes?"
"There's no definite answer yet," Kushina nodded, "but we're both getting on in years. It's time to start making preparations. I plan to agree after he returns from the front lines."
"Is that so?" For some reason, Wuyue felt a subtle bitterness at this moment. It was as if she had foreseen her beloved girl falling into someone else's arms, and her heart ached.
However, he knew he had no reason or standing to stop the other person's decision. He could only force a smile and say, "No, that's right. It's time to consider that."
"Well, let's not talk about that for now." For some reason, Kushina also sensed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. A slight pang of pain suddenly shot through her heart, and she subconsciously changed the subject, saying, "Mugetsu... you didn't keep your promise to me. So there's no reward for you."
"I'm sorry to have worried you." Wu Yue certainly remembered that he had promised the other party before he left that he would return safely. But in the end, he had obviously broken his promise. He was carried back, so the agreement was naturally invalid.
After a moment of silence, Kushina asked curiously, "Was the opponent very strong?"
“Yes, very strong.” Wuyue nodded seriously.
