I'm Straight, Not Gay

"Miss Nalan, I really am a boy."

Bai Xiaoran awkwardly tried to pull his hand away, but Nalan Yanran was clearly stronger than him.

Shyness, resistance, embarrassment.

What else could this be if not a girl?

"I really like you more and more." Nalan Yanran smiled.

Xiao Xun'er declared, "Let go. Brother Xiaoran is a boy; he just looks like a girl. Don't tell me you want to feel for yourself?"

"How could that be? I refuse to believe it!" Nalan Yanran did not believe it at all. Before anyone could react, her hand reached downward. In just an instant, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly released Bai Xiaoran's hand.

"He really is a boy!"

Bai Xiaoran said, "Would I lie to Miss Nalan?"

Nalan Yanran immediately apologized. "It was my fault, but being a boy isn't a problem either. I like you even more this way."

"Huh?" Bai Xiaoran could hardly believe it.

You're after his body, aren't you?!

Looking at Bai Xiaoran's cold appearance, with that smile that could make one glance back, Nalan Yanran suddenly had the urge to conquer him completely.

"No! Brother Xiaoran is mine. I won't give him to you!"

"I'm not going to snatch him away. Young Master Bai is as beautiful as a flower. How about coming to the Misty Cloud Sect with me?"

Bai Xiaoran shook his head in refusal. "Thank you for your kind offer, Miss Nalan, but I have no such intention."

Engagement-Breaking Sister, if you want to break off an engagement, then break it off. Don't have any strange ideas about me!

"Really not?"

"No!"

Nalan Yanran sighed, feeling that she had suffered a huge loss.

Why had she met Xiao Yan, that useless trash, rather than him when she was young?

If only the marriage agreement could be transferred to him.

Ge Ye stepped forward and cleared his throat. "Young Sect Master, do not forget the purpose of our visit."

"I know."

Nalan Yanran said, "Uncle Xiao, I misspoke earlier. I think the engagement with Young Master Xiao Yan can be peacefully resolved, on the condition that Young Master Bai joins my Misty Cloud Sect!"

Everyone was stunned.

You, Nalan Yanran, are far too shameless!

Xiao Zhan said, "No one in the Xiao Family has ever interfered in Xiaoran's affairs. Since he said he will not go, then he will not go."

What? Even this method would not work. It seemed she truly had no way of bringing him into the Misty Cloud Sect.

When she looked at Xiao Yan again, she wondered how she could have made an engagement agreement with this fellow in the first place.

"Nalan Yanran, what kind of look is that?"

"Hmph. What kind of look I give is none of your business."

She had wanted to admire Bai Xiaoran's beauty again, but unfortunately, he had already vanished.

Had he left?

Outside the Council Hall, Xiao Xun'er threw herself into Bai Xiaoran's embrace. "Brother Xiaoran, you cannot go to the Misty Cloud Sect. Nalan Yanran is obviously after your body."

"Brother Xiaoran, go back to your room and cultivate first. Tonight, we'll go see the lights of Wutan City."

With that, she directly pushed Bai Xiaoran into his room.

After returning to his room, Bai Xiaoran naturally understood what Xiao Xun'er meant.

Fine. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

Just as he climbed onto the bed to begin cultivating, Ling Ying suddenly flashed into the room.

"Ah!"

Bai Xiaoran jumped in fright.

"Uncle Ling Ying, could you stop appearing out of nowhere?"

"Young Master Bai, I thought you were used to it by now."

Ling Ying took out some medicinal pills and placed them beside the bed.

"Miss instructed me to make sure you cultivate properly."

"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Ling Ying!"

Ling Ying said, "Just cultivate well. I will not disturb you any longer."

As he vanished from the room, Bai Xiaoran immediately took off his robe.

"So hot. I still can't get used to wearing robes!"

He took out Subtle Shadow Steps and began to cultivate and comprehend it.

Once he mastered it, he would be able to achieve something like Lightness Skill Water Floating.

At this moment, outside the room.

Nalan Yanran walked out of the Council Hall.

"Miss Xun'er, where has Young Master Bai gone?"

"Brother Xiaoran is cultivating. Miss Nalan, please return."

"I'm not in a hurry. I can wait." Nalan Yanran smiled faintly.

She had already settled the matter of breaking off her engagement to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Zhan had not driven her away. What was the harm in staying for a few days?

Xiao Xun'er's gaze turned sharp.

This Nalan Yanran was truly annoying. Why would she not stop fixating on Brother Xiaoran?

"Give it up. Brother Xiaoran will never go to the Misty Cloud Sect."

"I know, but that does not stop me from speaking with him."

Xiao Xun'er smiled. "Then wait. In any case, you won't get to see him."

She knew that once Bai Xiaoran entered cultivation, he would not leave his room for several days. Besides, his talent for comprehension was not particularly formidable.

While they were talking, a blast of air suddenly blew open the door.

Looking over, they saw Bai Xiaoran lightly tap the ground with his Jade Feet. His figure flashed swiftly as he ran back and forth outside the room.

"What incredible speed."

What kind of Dou Technique was this? And why did those Jade Feet look so much like a woman's?

Xiao Xun'er was dumbfounded.

Since when had Brother Xiaoran's comprehension become so strong?

Before becoming a Dou Zhe, he could not have comprehended something to major mastery in a single instant.

Had breaking through to Dou Zhe opened his Conception and Governor Vessels?

When Bai Xiaoran stopped before the two of them, his robe had been removed, exposing his shoulders and upper body. His skin was as white as snow and glowed with a faint halo, even more tender than a woman's.

"So white."

Nalan Yanran hurriedly slapped her own head.

What am I thinking? He's straight, not gay. Why am I feeling attracted to a woman?

"Brother Xiaoran, did you succeed?"

"I did."

Bai Xiaoran chuckled. "I casually studied it, then suddenly felt as though I had an epiphany. I immediately learned Subtle Shadow Steps to major mastery."

"Brother Xiaoran, why did you take off your robe?"

"It was a little hot."

Xiao Xun'er swallowed.

Brother Xiaoran, those fragrant shoulders are so white and smooth!

"Young Master Bai, Nalan has a request. I wonder if you could agree to it?"

Nalan Yanran's eyes had likewise gone blank with fascination.

"Please speak, Miss Nalan."

"I made the Three-Year Agreement with Xiao Yan. I had originally wanted to peacefully dissolve the engagement early on, but he kept shouting, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river,' so I agreed to it.

"So, if I win by then, would you be willing to enter the Misty Cloud Sect and cultivate with me?"

As long as she cultivated diligently, Bai Xiaoran would surely be captivated by her strength and heroic bearing by then.

You've got it all figured out, but whether your sect will still exist by then is another matter entirely.

He had thought Engagement-Breaking Sister would not bother him, yet she had still dragged him into this.

"Sure."

"Young Master Bai, you must come when the time comes!"

Nalan Yanran was overjoyed.

Becoming Dao companions then would not be a problem either.

Nalan Yanran did not linger any longer and promptly left the Xiao Family.

Breaking off the engagement had been her own decision; she had not discussed it with Nalan Jie.

"Brother Xiaoran, why did you agree to her?" Xiao Xun'er did not understand.

"Xun'er, agreeing to it won't cost me anything. I'll just take it as a trip to have a look."

"All right." Xiao Xun'er could not say much else, though Brother Xiaoran's skin was so soft and elastic.

Bai Xiaoran returned to his room and put on his white robe, once again looking as cold and aloof as a Female Sword Immortal.

"Young Master Bai, someone outside is looking for you."
