Are Your Legs Slippery?

"Why be so polite with Sister?"

Ya Fei was glad she had invested in Bai Xiaoran.

The chill released by the small ice cube in Bai Xiaoran's hand immediately entered her body, instantly suppressing the feverish sensation.

"What are you doing?!"

"Xun'er, it seems you came at the wrong time."

Xiao Xun'er looked at the smiling Ya Fei and said, "I think I came at exactly the right time."

How could it be the wrong time? She clearly just wanted to tease Brother Xiaoran.

"Xun'er, I'm fine. Has the Coming-of-Age Ceremony ended?"

Xiao Xun'er said, "No. After Brother Xiaoran left, Xiao Ning suddenly challenged Xiao Yan for some reason. They should be about to determine the winner now."

Xiao Yan should win their duel.

Ya Fei smiled. "Little Brother Xiaoran, Sister won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, remember to come to the auction house."

She tossed him a flirtatious glance, then turned and left with a smile.

Xiao Xun'er said, "What an annoying woman."

"Xun'er, let's head back too!"

When they returned to the Training Ground, Xiao Yan had just won, but Xiao Ning was being cursed by quite a few people.

"He actually took forbidden medicine. Even if he won, there'd be no glory in it."

The curses from the crowd kept Xiao Ning from raising his head. In the end, the Great Elder took Xiao Ning away.

Xiao Yan came before Bai Xiaoran.

"Brother Xiaoran, how was my battle just now?"

"I only just returned, but it is naturally a good thing that Young Master Xiao Yan has recovered his strength." Bai Xiaoran smiled kindly.

Xiao Yan was delighted and continued, "Brother Xiaoran, could you teach me how to improve my practical combat experience?"

"I can't teach you that. I don't have much practical combat experience myself. Perhaps when there's a chance in the future!"

Bai Xiaoran looked at Xiao Zhan and smiled. "Uncle Xiao, now that things are over, I'll be leaving first."

"Go on, attend to your business. The cultivation resources have already been delivered to your room."

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"

Bai Xiaoran took Xiao Xun'er's hand and left.

"You brat, don't you dare have any improper thoughts about Xiaoran."

Xiao Zhan rapped Xiao Yan on the head.

"I know, Father, but Brother Xiaoran gives me such a strange feeling."

Xiao Zhan said, "Xiaoran grows more beautiful every year. Sometimes, I mistake him for a girl too, but that's only his appearance. At heart, he's still a boy."

"Actually, boys aren't impossible either..." Xiao Yan muttered quietly.

Back in his room, Bai Xiaoran examined the resources in the Storage Ring on the table.

"There's quite a lot. It'll be enough for my future cultivation."

"Uncle Xiao wouldn't give you too little."

"Brother Xiaoran, over the past year, Patriarch Galli and Patriarch Oba have often left the city. Every time they returned, they brought back a group of masked people."

Bai Xiaoran said, "They seem to be seeking another way out, or perhaps secretly preparing something to counterattack the Xiao Family."

Liu Xi was dead. Without outside help, their remaining shops would only be gradually swallowed up by the Xiao Family.

"I just have a feeling that the Jia Lie Family and Ao Ba Family will counterattack!"

"If they come, we'll make sure they never return."

If Liu Xi's master helped the Jia Lie Family and Ao Ba Family deal with the Xiao Family, then things would become very troublesome.

"There's one more thing. I heard that Jia Nan Academy, where Sister Xiao Yu cultivates, will be coming to Wutan City to recruit students."

Xiao Xun'er continued, "Brother Xiaoran, you can't remain in Wutan City any longer. Why not go to Jia Nan Academy with me for secluded cultivation?"

"When the time comes, Brother Xiaoran can pretend to be a girl, so you can live with Xun'er."

Bai Xiaoran immediately refused. "Impossible. I'm a boy. I absolutely can't pretend to be a girl."

If he gave up being a boy himself, then he would slowly come to accept that reality in his heart.

"Miss Xun'er, Uncle Xiao has something to discuss with you."

Outside, a Xiao Family maid's voice rang out.

"What could he want with me?"

Xiao Xun'er said, "Brother Xiaoran, rest first. I'll go see to it."

"Go on."

Bai Xiaoran lay down on the bed, preparing to try breaking through to Dou Master. Just as he sat cross-legged, the door suddenly opened.

A pair of strikingly pale, long legs stepped into the room.

"Sister Xiao Yu, why did you sneak into my room?!"

Xiao Yu entered the room and asked in surprise, "How did you know it was me?"

"Your legs are too conspicuous."

"If Little Brother Xiaoran likes Sister's legs, you should have said so earlier."

Xiao Yu sat at the edge of the bed, placing her long, slender legs before Bai Xiaoran.

"If you like them, feel free to touch them. Sister won't resist."

"I don't like them."

"You're lying. Little Brother Xiaoran doesn't know how to lie!"

That was indeed true. Bai Xiaoran was not very good at lying. When faced with Xiao Yu's questions, he basically chose to ignore her or close his eyes and cultivate.

"Sister Xiao Yu, did you deliberately lure Xun'er away so you could be alone with me?"

Xiao Yu said seriously, "That's right. If I didn't lure Xun'er away, how could I be alone with Little Brother Xiaoran?"

"So what did you come to see me about?"

Ever since Xiao Yu had returned to the Xiao Family, she had basically remained within his sight. It was as though he was even closer to her than her own younger brother.

"I was thinking of having you join Jia Nan Academy. Little Brother Xiaoran, you're now a Nine-star Dou Zhe. With your looks and skills, it'll be very easy for you to obtain resources at Jia Nan Academy."

"I'm a boy!"

"Sister knows, but that doesn't stop you from pretending to be a girl."

Xiao Yu then revealed the purpose of her visit.

"I spoke to my mentor. I came back today to bring you into Jia Nan Academy. Your talent is even better than I imagined."

Joining Jia Nan Academy early would also let him break through to Dou Master sooner.

"Won't Jia Nan Academy be coming to Wutan City later?"

"Yes, but wouldn't it be better for you to join early?"

Bai Xiaoran shook his head. "I don't want to. I have my own plans. And Sister Xiao Yu, I still haven't said anything about you giving Xiao Ning forbidden medicine!"

"Th-this..." Xiao Yu's morale immediately weakened after being caught by the tail.

It was indeed wrong to give Xiao Ning Qi-Enhancing Powder, but as her sister, wasn't she right to stand by her side?

"It was Sister's fault. Little Brother Xiaoran, don't be angry with Sister."

Xiao Yu gently wrapped her arms around Bai Xiaoran's arm.

"Don't touch me. I'm not blaming Sister Xiao Yu. I just don't agree with what you did."

His hand was suddenly seized and directly placed by Xiao Yu on her thigh, where it stroked her skin.

"Sister will let you touch her legs as an apology."

Xiao Yu held Bai Xiaoran's hand, feeling somewhat dazed. It was as soft as a younger sister's little hand.

Bang! The door was kicked open, and Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Yu with displeasure in her eyes.

"Sister Xiao Yu, you're too sly!"

Xiao Yu smiled. "How is this sly? This is called winning through wit."

Xiao Xun'er could not be bothered to confront Xiao Yu. She immediately pulled Bai Xiaoran aside.

"Look at you, Little Brother Xiaoran hasn't even touched enough yet!"

Bai Xiaoran immediately panicked. "I didn't! Don't spout nonsense!"

What did she mean, he had not touched enough? She was clearly the one holding his hand and making it stroke her thigh.

"You didn't refuse either."

"I couldn't break free."

Xiao Yu said, "Consider it Sister taking the loss, then. But are Sister's legs slippery or not? Other than you, no one has ever touched them."
