I'm a Man, Not a Woman

In the room, Bai Xiaoran released Xiao Xun'er's little hand.

"Brother Xiaoran, what are you afraid of? They wouldn't stop us from leaving." Xiao Xun'er stroked Bai Xiaoran's soft shoulder.

So soft, so tender, so smooth!

Bai Xiaoran said, "We definitely need to get away. I don't like being watched by so many people."

After moving aside Xiao Xun'er's mischievous little hand, he realized he had forgotten to retrieve his robe.

"I forgot my robe!"

"Brother Xiaoran, do you want to try women's clothing? Like a dress or something?" Xiao Xun'er smiled.

"No."

Bai Xiaoran walked over to the wardrobe and searched through the clothes he had left behind.

He rarely bought clothes. He usually wore the same ones for a long time, only going out to buy new ones if they were damaged in battle or lost.

After searching for a while, he took out a white top from the wardrobe and put it on. The sleeves were too long, but the entire garment was very light.

"Brother Xiaoran, are you going out next?"

Bai Xiaoran shook his head and sat cross-legged on the bed, his small Jade Feet exposed.

"Cultivating."

Now that he had obtained the Flame Boost fighting technique, learning it first was naturally the best choice.

Xiao Xun'er said, "Then cultivate first, Brother Xiaoran. Xun'er will head out."

After closing the door, she watched Bai Xiaoran's entire figure and Jade Feet from outside the window.

Whether from top to bottom or as a whole, he was a feast for the eyes.

Before long, Ling Ying appeared outside the room.

"Ling Ying, so much time has passed. Why haven't you killed that Alchemist yet? Why are you still letting him live?"

Ling Ying said, "We will act tonight. Besides, that Alchemist only just arrived in Wutan City."

"I don't want him to live until tomorrow."

"Yes."

Ling Ying glanced at Bai Xiaoran inside the room. He was practicing another fighting technique.

Such comprehension was even stronger than that of some disciples of the Gu Family.

Night arrived quickly. After finishing his practice, Bai Xiaoran felt that his control over Flames had improved by several degrees.

"Brother Xiaoran, you finally finished cultivating." Xiao Xun'er yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"Xun'er, why have you been waiting here all this time?"

"To go have fun with Brother Xiaoran."

Oh no. If Xun'er doesn't leave, how am I supposed to go with Uncle Ling Ying to the Jia Lie Family and kill Liu Xi?

After a pause, Bai Xiaoran said, "Xun'er, wait in the room for a while. I'll go with you later."

"Where is Brother Xiaoran going?"

"Uncle Xiao asked me to help out. When I come back, I'll bring you your favorite food."

Although Xiao Xun'er was doubtful, she still agreed.

Bai Xiaoran immediately left the room. Not long after he arrived outside the Xiao Family, Ling Ying flashed over as well.

"Young Master Bai, come with me. This time, it is mainly for you to try. If you can handle it, I won't make a move!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Ling Ying. I'm confident!"

"As long as you know what you're doing."

The two immediately headed for the Jia Lie Family.

At the Jia Lie Family, Liu Xi heard that the men he had sent out had failed to kill their target and immediately flew into a rage. "You can't even capture a mere woman? What is your Jia Lie Family good for in Wutan City?"

"My lord, we do not know what happened inside either. Perhaps Ya Fei also has a strong expert protecting her!"

Jia Lie Ao was troubled as well. Those he had sent out were elites of the Jia Lie Family. Their sudden deaths made his heart bleed.

The Jia Lie Family had spent countless resources and effort training its elite descendants.

Liu Xi had an arm around each of the women beside him. "I can't blame you all either. There will be other chances. The Revitalizing Powder refined recently can be put up for sale."

"My lord, we'll make preparations at once."

The two immediately left.

Liu Xi looked at the girls beside him and said, "Follow me, and you'll eat well and drink well."

"My lord is right."

Before he could enjoy himself for long, the door was kicked open, and two darts flew inside.

At the sight, the women beside him scattered and fled.

Liu Xi snorted coldly. "Someone actually dares to assassinate me in Wutan City?"

After flashing aside to evade the attack, the masked Bai Xiaoran rushed forward and repeatedly threw punches at Liu Xi.

Although Liu Xi dodged in time, he was still struck.

"Damn it! Who sent you?"

Bai Xiaoran said, "What does it matter who sent me? Tonight is the night you die!"

"If you won't talk, I have ways to make you talk."

"Soul-Seizing Yin Wind Claw!"

A fierce gust swept forth as Liu Xi's palm transformed into a blade and lunged toward him.

Liu Xi was somewhat stronger than him, but that did not mean Bai Xiaoran could not kill him.

"Qi Manifestation Fist!"

Bai Xiaoran clenched his fist and punched straight at him.

Boom!

The instant they collided, Bai Xiaoran could only hold out briefly. Just as he tried to use Subtle Shadow Steps to evade the attack, Liu Xi kicked him directly into the wall.

The tremendous blow gave Bai Xiaoran no time to recover before Liu Xi walked up and removed the black cloth covering his face.

Liu Xi froze, utterly stunned by the face before him.

Those icy eyes, that flowerlike beauty.

"Heh heh, so you're a little wench. But now that you've fallen into my hands, Liu Xi's hands, don't worry—I'll make you submit to me willingly!" Liu Xi burst into laughter.

He had thought it would be a man, but it turned out to be such an exquisite woman.

Bai Xiaoran said, "Do you think I have no trump card?"

"Mysterious Fire Three Transformations!"

Three Flames continuously shifted shape before immediately striking Liu Xi.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Liu Xi could not react in time and could only endure the Flames' assault head-on.

When he tried to extinguish them, the Flames seemed to have grown onto his body and could not be put out at all.

"You filthy woman, what did you do to me?"

Liu Xi roared. When he tried to grab Bai Xiaoran, Bai Xiaoran had already vanished from before his eyes.

"Did you really think I was weak? I was only putting on an act for you just now, so you would lower your guard."

If Liu Xi had not lowered his guard, his Flames would never have had the chance to hit him so securely.

"I really underestimated you. Where are those two useless fools from the Jia Lie Family?"

With such a huge commotion, they should have appeared by now.

Bai Xiaoran smiled. "I wouldn't foolishly come alone. As for Jia Lie Ao, he never had the chance to come."

"You can't kill me! My master is a Fourth-grade Alchemist!" Liu Xi invoked his master.

He did not want to die in a tiny place like Wutan City.

"I don't know your master. Oh, right—I'm not a girl. I'm a boy!"

Bai Xiaoran used the Flame Boost fighting technique. The Flames on Liu Xi's body instantly became exceptionally violent, and Liu Xi was slowly burned away within the blazing fire.

"I know now! You're that Bai from the Xiao Family!"

"It's too late to know that now."

"My master won't let you go!"

In the end, Liu Xi died unwillingly amid the raging fire.

Outside the room, Jia Lie Ao and the Jia Lie Family patriarch looked ashen-faced.

An Alchemist had died in the Jia Lie Family. This was not a good omen.

Ling Ying said, "Consider yourselves obedient. If you had not listened, you would not be alive either."

"Yes, my lord."

Ling Ying entered the room and discovered that Liu Xi had already died in the blaze.

He grabbed Bai Xiaoran by the arm and immediately departed from the Jia Lie Family.

"Young Master Bai, how did it go?"

"It went smoothly!"
