I've Told You Many Times, Ye Xiaoyao Isn't Kitten

The battle was about to break out.

Suddenly, a majestic voice echoed through the surrounding space.

"What are you doing?"

"Ye Qingxian, as an enforcer of Heavenly Sword Peak, don't you know that Wuya Sect prohibits disciples from fighting privately?"

A strange figure appeared, clad in black clothes and a black robe, with long sleeves and long pants, their hood pulled so tightly over their head that their face was completely obscured.

This person was extremely peculiar, with not a single inch of exposed skin.

Even their tone of voice was neutral, making it impossible to discern their gender.

Who knew.

As this person appeared, Ye Qingxian and Shuang Yue simultaneously stopped, and both took a step back in unison, bowing respectfully.

"Zhiyan Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother."

This oddly dressed black-clothed person was none other than Xiao Zhiyan, the Senior Brother of Heavenly Sword Peak, second only to Heavenly Sword Venerable in mystery, who was rarely seen. He had joined Heavenly Sword Peak as a Direct Disciple over ten thousand years ago and was a renowned Prodigy countless years ago. Many speculated that he already possessed combat strength not inferior to that of an elder, and he was widely recognized within the Wuya Sect disciple ranks as being closest to the elder level, a figure who could be respectfully called a Contemporary Great Power.

Xiao Zhiyan held high prestige among the disciples.

Coupled with his usually stern and business-like demeanor, many disciples treated Xiao Zhiyan with the same awe and fear as they would an elder, not daring to speak loudly.

Shuang Yue was already trembling.

She was probably the most afraid to see Xiao Zhiyan.

This was no ordinary senior brother; he was like a living elder.

Xiao Zhiyan's gaze fell upon Ye Qingxian's face. "Junior Sister, you've improved too quickly."

"It's just luck," Ye Qingxian replied indifferently. "Isn't Senior Brother in seclusion today?"

Xiao Zhiyan had spent most of the last thousand years in seclusion, occasionally only appearing once every hundred years or more.

"I encountered some difficulties in my cultivation, so I came out of seclusion to seek opportunities."

Shuang Yue was a little displeased that she hadn't managed to discipline Ye Qingxian with her Senior Brother's help.

As the Senior Sister of Bright Moon Peak, her status was equivalent to Xiao Zhiyan's. She had only joined slightly later, which was why she politely addressed him as Senior Brother.

Fellow disciples and fellow sect members were different.

For example, Xiao Zhiyan was Shuang Yue's fellow sect member.

And he was Ye Qingxian's fellow disciple brother.

The latter term implied a closer relationship in address.

The atmosphere remained tense, and Ye Qingxian took the initiative to speak, "Leaving the sect."

"Xiaoyao's matter must be resolved today."

Shuang Yue also responded with a cold face, "I intend to do the same."

"You are not worthy of mentioning Ye Xiaoyao's name."

The two figures left simultaneously.

Shuang Yue gritted her teeth and followed.

Only Xiao Zhiyan remained in place, somewhat bewildered.

Xiaoyao, Ye Xiaoyao!?

Was it the Junior Sister of Heavenly Sword Peak with the Five Spiritual Roots that he understood?

Xiao Zhiyan was different from Jian Wushuang; he had known from the beginning that he had a Junior Sister.

However, how could his Junior Sister be involved with these two people?

From their words, it seemed they were fighting because of Ye Xiaoyao.

Combining this with Shuang Yue's final remark, Xiao Zhiyan's mouth twitched as he automatically imagined a scenario of complex grievances and affections.

Could any of the people from Heavenly Sword Peak be normal?

He remembered Ye Qingxian's sexual orientation was quite normal????

Perhaps they were all infected by Jian Wushuang.

Xiao Zhiyan was the only one who knew Jian Wushuang's gender.

The reason was simple: over a thousand years ago, Xiao Zhiyan wasn't in seclusion much and often went out to travel.

It was normal for senior and junior brothers to bathe and soak in hot springs together.

But Jian Wushuang was always hesitant and refused to take off his clothes, so he immediately guessed the truth.

Outside Wuya Sect.

Here, disciples were no longer restricted from fighting.

Shuang Yue drew her long sword, pointing the tip at Ye Qingxian.

"Calling you Qingxian Junior Sister is the biggest regret of my life."

"Do you know how many disdainful glances Ye Xiaoyao has received since childhood?"

"Now, she likes you and is willing to be in a relationship with you."

"And you? Not only did you trample on a girl's most sincere feelings, but you used it as an excuse to bully Ye Xiaoyao again and again with a clear conscience, even pinning her to the ground and beating her unilaterally, making her cry and leave. I, Yue Wuhua, will absolutely not turn a blind eye to this."

Who, who is in a relationship with Ye Xiaoyao??

Ye Qingxian's eyes went blank, and the sword she was gripping clattered to the ground.

The anger she had been holding all along vanished in an instant.

"Wait, say that again, what did Ye Xiaoyao do to me?" Ye Qingxian asked, dumbfounded.

Shuang Yue jumped out to add insult to injury, "Ye Qingxian, stop making excuses. I saw it all. You two came out of the Peach Blossom Forest one after the other in the middle of the night."

"Moreover, you were the one pinning Ye Xiaoyao down and hitting her."

"Even if it's a secret relationship, you can't bully someone like that."

Ye Qingxian repeated, "You're saying Ye Xiaoyao likes me? And just because she and I were in the Peach Blossom Forest, we're in a relationship..."

She rubbed her temples wearily.

Today had been too emotionally chaotic. How could she lack the judgment to cause such a huge misunderstanding?

How was it that she and Yue Wuhua were not on the same page, yet they both ended up infuriated with each other?

"Ye Xiaoyao doesn't like me," Ye Qingxian argued. "I'm straight."

"And we're not in a relationship."

"So you're convinced... I was beating Ye Xiaoyao?" Her head was about to explode. "Actually, I wasn't."

"I was just..."

Shuang Yue blinked. "Go on, why did you stop talking?"

"Can't think of anything else to say?"

"Heh, I'm listening. I'm listening to your continued excuses."

"What kind of straight woman pins someone down and bullies them?"

Ye Qingxian: "..."

Could she say it was just a beautiful coincidence?

She hadn't intended to do that to Ye Xiaoyao.

It was just a pull and a tug...

Her explanation felt weak, and Ye Qingxian was trying to gather her thoughts.

"In short, we're not in a relationship, and no one is bullying anyone."

Shuang Yue crossed her arms. "If you can't explain this clearly today, I'll tell the whole world what kind of person the Ye Qingxian they admire is in private."

Ye Qingxian had her own difficulties.

She didn't want to reveal the matter of Ye Xiaoyao's cub.

But if she didn't explain, she couldn't clear things up.

Besides, wasn't Ye Xiaoyao also straight, and she already had a cub?

A pure relationship between senior and junior sisters was being slandered as a romantic relationship.

This was the first time Ye Qingxian had encountered such an absurd situation in her life.

This was how she understood her sense of responsibility.

And this was how she explained it to herself.

To this day, lacking cases for analysis, she didn't believe her sexual orientation was abnormal.

Yue Wuhua waved her hand, stopping Shuang Yue from saying anything further.

She had been observing Ye Qingxian and, seeing that her expression didn't seem like she was lying, had begun to believe her to some extent.

However, she still needed an explanation.

"Is there something about Ye Xiaoyao that you can't tell others?"

This had to be acknowledged.

Those with two question marks over their heads had simple daily communication, and their minds worked just as well as Ye Qingxian's.

Ye Qingxian gradually calmed down and nodded in response, "Yes."

"I believe you didn't bully Ye Xiaoyao."

"Because someone who plans to lie wouldn't come up with such a clumsy explanation, as if just saying 'I didn't' or 'I didn't do it' would make the whole world believe them."

Hearing her Senior Sister say this, Shuang Yue finally showed a hint of a smile, her fists clenching in front of her as if cheering.

Doesn't this mean Ye Qingxian isn't lying?

She could set up the bait again, then.

Baiting with one or two Spirit Stones daily, and eventually, she'd be able to sleep holding Junior Sister Xiaoyao.

Shuang Yue's fighting spirit was high.

"I hope Junior Sister Xiaoyao can be happy," Shuang Yue prayed with sparkling eyes. "In any case, she can't meet any bad people."

Ye Qingxian was silent for a second, suddenly not knowing how to respond.

Yue Wuhua, being too calm, asked, "Is Junior Sister Xiaoyao pregnant?"

Combining the events before and after, she had guessed the outcome.

Ye Qingxian saw that Yue Wuhua had already made a guess.

Silent speech was the best answer.

Junior Sister Xiaoyao... Shuang Yue's face suddenly turned a little pale, her hand on the side inexplicably nowhere to rest.

"Huh?"

"Whose, whose is it?" she stammered, a little flustered.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyao is still so small, who on earth laid their hands on her?"

"Senior Sister, chop him to death for me!!"

Shuang Yue was furious.

The thought of Junior Sister Xiaoyao, as cute as a Kitten, about to give birth to an equally cute little kitten, made her want to dismember that beast.

"I want to know too," Ye Qingxian replied.

"Knowing that you didn't bully Junior Sister Xiaoyao, I misunderstood you this time, but you have to treat her better in the future."

The misunderstanding with Ye Qingxian was resolved. Shuang Yue left with even more gloom and anger. What else could she do but leave? She couldn't possibly go ask Ye Xiaoyao for clarification.

Yue Wuhua said, "Alright, you be more well-behaved."

"It's not a foregone conclusion yet. Ye Xiaoyao herself hasn't called him a scumbag. What if there are other reasons she can't tell?"

"Then I'll listen to Senior Sister and not call him a scumbag for now, but if he doesn't show up again, I will call him a scumbag." Shuang Yue clenched her fists. "Since Junior Sister Xiaoyao already has a baby, I can secretly protect Junior Sister and the little kitten."

"How much do you actually like cats?"

"I've told you many times, Ye Xiaoyao is a person, she's just a little cute, not a Kitten at all."

"What do you mean 'a little'? She's clearly the cutest in the world."

"And! She's not a Kitten, that's simply talking nonsense. She's already so cute, and you still say she's not a Kitten."

"I think Junior Sister Xiaoyao's true form must be a pink and white-furred Cat Princess."

"If Junior Sister Xiaoyao were willing to pay attention to me, I would definitely pester her every morning and evening."

"But I can also understand. Kittens are such aloof creatures."

Yue Wuhua added with a deadpan expression, "You should stop talking about cats all day. I'll take you to get your head checked later."

"Wuwuwu, Senior Sister, don't! Am I still your most beloved Junior Sister?"

The figures of the two gradually receded.

Ye Qingxian looked at their warm scene of playful banter, and a blurry figure inexplicably appeared in her mind.

She suddenly envied Yue Wuhua for having such a close Junior Sister.

When would she be able to mend her relationship with Ye Xiaoyao?

At the very least, there should be a first step to break their ice-cold relationship.

Speaking of scumbags.

This world did indeed have paternity testing. A single drop of Essence Blood could deduce the location of a Dearest relative.

It was also simple to deduce the location of a scumbag, as long as one obtained a drop of Essence Blood from the cub.

Easier said than done.

The Baby hadn't even been born yet.
