Xiao Yu's Confession!

"Xiao Yu?"

Thinking of Xiao Yu reminded Xiao Lang of that steamy scene in the hot spring cave.

For several nights afterward...

He had had to get up in the middle of the night to change his pants more than once.

She had truly done him harm. Today, he had to get justice!

"You came knocking on my door so early in the morning. If people saw us, they'd think there was something going on between us."

Xiao Lang liked sleeping naked, so this time, when he came out, he wore only a pair of loose shorts. His upper body was bare, displaying sculpted muscle lines. Under the morning sunlight, his fair skin shone like fine white jade.

He stood in the doorway, sizing up Xiao Yu, whom he had not seen in three years.

Three years ago, she had taken part in Jia Nan Academy's recruitment and then gone there to cultivate.

After three years apart, the girlish immaturity had faded from Xiao Yu's face, replaced by the youthful beauty unique to a twenty-year-old girl.

She wore a white shirt beneath a blue vest, with a white pleated skirt below that exposed a pair of long, fair legs.

Her appearance had not changed much, but she now possessed the air of a student girl. More importantly, Xiao Lang realized that Xiao Yu had changed!

What could he do? Who could resist a pair of long legs in black stockings and a 36D bust?

He was just curious what this woman had eaten over the past three years.

"Where are you looking?!"

Xiao Yu took several steps back and looked at Xiao Lang with disdain. "I can't believe that after three years, you're still exactly the same!"

"..."

Xiao Lang lowered his head after hearing that and realized he had forgotten about himself...

"That's a normal physiological reaction... okay?"

Though Xiao Lang sounded unconcerned, he obediently retreated into his room and put on clothes and pants.

After all, a grown man feared a lustful woman.

That was something certain readers who did not cast recommendation votes could never understand.

"Is that something a normal person should have?"

Watching Xiao Lang retreat into the room, Xiao Yu could not help recalling what she had just seen.

Pah!

Xiao Yu, what are you thinking?!

Still, he could not really be blamed. Xiao Lang had been taking supplements since childhood, eating all sorts of things that could stimulate growth without side effects.

Not to mention the Ten Complete Great Tonic Pill given by the system. Its effects were absolutely incredible.

There was no way it could stay small.

"What are you muttering about? You came back acting all mysterious?"

After getting dressed, Xiao Lang saw Xiao Yu standing there muttering to herself and could not help asking curiously.

"You're the one muttering and acting mysterious!" Xiao Yu shot Xiao Lang an annoyed glare.

For some reason, she had clearly intended to speak with him peacefully for a while before expressing her feelings, but whenever she encountered him, she could not help arguing with him. She simply could not control her emotions.

When she had first gone to Jia Nan Academy, it had been to forget Xiao Lang. Yet after three years, not only had she failed to forget him, she missed him even more.

She had returned in previous years as well, but she had never seen Xiao Lang. This year, the moment she heard he was home, she rushed over to confess her feelings.

"Go on, what did you come to see me for? Don't tell me you're here to confess to me?"

As an old hand at romance, Xiao Lang naturally knew what Xiao Yu was thinking and directly tore through that final layer of pretense.

In any case, Xiao Yu was not related to him by blood, and she was beautiful.

Why not take her...

Pah!

It would be a waste not to.

Who knew Xiao Yu would be even bolder than Xiao Lang had imagined? She actually said it outright:

"Yes, I came to confess to you! I like you. I've liked you since we were little, and I still like you now. Whether you agree or not, I have to say it."

Xiao Lang immediately said, "Since that's the case, why wait for another day? Let's consummate—pah! Actually, I'm the same as you. I like myself very much too. After all, it's perfectly normal for you to like such a perfect man as me."

As he said that, Xiao Lang wanted to slap himself twice.

As a scumbag and a ladies' man, how could he say something so absurdly straight-man?

It was simply an insult to ladies' men!

But he had no choice. The system was offering far too much.

"Ding! Faced with Xiao Yu's confession, you choose..."

[Choice One: As a scumbag, you choose to take her first and talk later, accepting Xiao Yu. Reward upon completion: Level +1, Lightning Attribute Fighting Skill power increased by 10%, one Level 2 Enhancement Stone!]

[Choice Two: As a scumbag, you decide to turn over a new leaf. You choose to reject Xiao Yu normally. Reward upon completion: Level +1, Wind Attribute Fighting Skill power increased by 10%, one Level 2 Enhancement Stone!]

[Choice Three: Directly say, "I like myself very much too." Reward upon completion: Level +1, Wind Attribute, Lightning Attribute, and Water Attribute Fighting Skill power increased by 10%, Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill: Thunderclap Sword Skill!]

"..."

When he saw the three choices, Xiao Lang fell silent.

His instincts told him to choose the first one!

He did not want to reject a woman with a 36D bust, long legs, and black stockings.

But the third option offered far too much. After all, these were all things that could save his life.

There were plenty of women with two legs, but he only had one life.

If a woman was gone, he could find another.

If his life was gone, he would have plenty of green hats.

So, at the critical moment, Xiao Lang immediately changed his words.

"So you're rejecting me?"

A trace of bitterness appeared on Xiao Yu's face. Although she had prepared herself long ago, hearing those words still felt like needles piercing her heart. Her face turned pale as she forced a smile.

"Of course... I'm rejecting you, because I don't want to be caught up in romance right now."

Xiao Lang had originally wanted to say, "Of course not," since the system had not said he could not explain himself.

But then he caught sight of a corner of a green skirt fluttering in the wind outside the courtyard. He immediately knew Xiao Xun'er was eavesdropping outside, so he changed his words at once.

"You know, I divorced my younger brother's wife on his behalf and made the Three-Year Pact for Xiao Yan. If I don't cultivate diligently, then if my younger brother truly fails, how could I, as his older brother, ever face him?"

Xiao Lang said with righteous conviction, "So right now, all I want is to cultivate. As for romance, we can talk about it later."

Yes, talk about it later. Xiao Lang wanted to get on the carriage first and buy the ticket afterward.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu did not understand Xiao Lang's hidden meaning at all. Instead, his words moved her so deeply that tears nearly spilled from her eyes.

So his three years of training outside, enduring trials of blood and fire, had all been for Xiao Yan. What a loyal and righteous man he was!

Yet all she had thought about was falling in love with him. She truly felt ashamed of herself!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu liked Xiao Lang even more for being such a loyal and righteous man.

Moreover, he had not directly rejected her. He simply did not want to be caught up in romance before fulfilling his agreement with Nalan Yanran of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Perhaps she would still have a chance in the future.

Later?

Xiao Yu suddenly understood in an instant, but when she looked at Xiao Lang's righteous expression, she knew she had misunderstood him again.

So she said, "I understand. Until you fulfill the agreement, I won't disturb you."

With that, she left without looking back, while Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Lang entered with moved expressions.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun'er merely exchanged a glance. Neither said anything before leaving.

But the hostility in their eyes was exceptionally obvious.
