Heartless Two-Timer

"Get out! Get out!!" Hu Jia glared at Xiao Tianyi angrily, then changed the subject. "What were you doing in there? You look like this."

"The alchemy cauldron Cauldron Explosion." Xiao Tian shook his head helplessly.

"No, when other people Cauldron Explosion, it produces black smoke. Why is yours like a huge explosion? What are you refining?"

"I don't know how it happened. I was just refining Seventh Grade Peak Pill."

"What? What did you say?" Hu Jia jumped up in shock upon hearing Xiao Tian's next sentence. "You said you're refining Seventh Grade Peak Pill? Then you're at least Seventh Grade High-Level Alchemist now? Are you even human?"

Hu Jia was completely devastated. In just two years, he had risen from Sixth Grade Alchemist to Seventh-Grade High-Grade alchemist.

Is this reasonable?

It should be noted that Fire Elder of the Alchemist Department has been stuck at the Fifth Grade Alchemist level for most of his life.

Xiao Tian, standing before them, had advanced through multiple ranks in just two years. It's important to know that advancing Alchemist level.

Hu Jia took a deep look at Xiao Tian in front of her. He was indeed the most monstrous person she had ever seen; he was truly terrifying.

"Isn't this something you can do with your hands?" Xiao Tianyi said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this and seeing her expression, Hu Jia was completely out of it, even wanting to punch him to death.

"Seriously, is it really okay for us to talk here with two such dark faces? I don't mind when Fei Er and the others come over, but you might laugh your head off."

Xiao Tian looked at Hu Jia, who had been silenced by his own talent, and teased her with a smile.

"Isn't this your masterpiece? How dare you say that?" Hu Jia instantly bristled like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"You started it, I was just retaliating, don't you dare slander me." Xiao Tian grabbed her by the collar and headed towards the washroom.

"Let me go, I can walk by myself." Hu Jia was lifted up and kept flailing her long legs, shocked that she was being treated like this.

"Don't move, or you'll ruin your own clothes and then don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Hu Jia immediately became obedient, but her face flushed with anger, like a silently angry pufferfish.

Xiao Tian carried her to the washroom and put her down.

The washing area is for washing up after cultivation. It contains a small pool with a water outlet above it, from which clear water flows continuously.

This is a simple place to wash your face, brush your teeth, and rinse your mouth; there are no showers.

"Hurry up and wash up, little black charcoal." Xiao Tian gave Hu Jia a push, and she stumbled to the small pool.

"Got it, you big black charcoal." Hu Jia retorted, not to be outdone, and then began to wash the Black Ash off her face.

Xiao Tian also began to clean his face and hair.

After cleaning herself up, Hu Jia took out the handkerchief she had used earlier, washed it, wiped her face, and then began to clean the Black Ash off her legs.

Xiao Tian washed his hair thoroughly, then used his Dou Qi to dry it.

Hu Jia also cleaned herself up, washed her handkerchief, and handed it to Xiao Tian: "Here, wipe your face. There's still Black Ash on your face."

Just after Hu Jia handed it out, the handkerchief, which she had just used to wipe her legs, was about to be pulled back.

But just as she was about to put it away, Xiao Tian had already taken the handkerchief and started wiping his face.

After wiping his face, Xiao Tian noticed Hu Jia's constantly changing expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, maybe the water was too cold." Hu Jia quickly shook her head.

"Don't move!" Xiao Tian suddenly pressed her head down, and amidst her puzzled gaze, he took a handkerchief and wiped her brow. "There's still a little bit of dust here."

After wiping it clean, he put the handkerchief back in her hand. Hu Jia's cheeks flushed slightly from Xiao Tian's sudden action.

"You can leave now."

Xiao Tian's voice reached Hu Jia's ears. Hu Jia looked up at Xiao Tian, as if asking what he meant.

"I need to change my clothes. Do you want to peek from the side?" Xiao Tian flicked Hu Jia's forehead and said helplessly.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Hu Jia touched her forehead, glanced at Xiao Tian's entire body, and then walked outside.

After seeing Hu Jia leave, Xiao Tian took off his clothes, quickly cleaned himself, and then took out clean clothes.

Hu Jia, who had just left, stood blankly at the doorway, staring at the handkerchief in her hand, lost in thought.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Tian came out and saw Hu Jia, who was still in a daze. "What are you doing here? Are you going out, or are you going to continue cultivating?"

"Let's go out. I've already finished my cultivation and was planning to go back anyway," Hu Jia said, quickly pulling herself out of her reverie.

"Let's go then." Xiao Tian walked out in the direction he was going, and Hu Jia quickly followed.

"Xiao Tian, when will Xun'er come back?" Hu Jia asked Xiao Tian as they walked side by side.

"It'll be soon. I'll bring Xun'er back then." Xiao Tian wasn't in a hurry to bring Xun'er back; he would wait until after Xun'er's baptism.

Bringing her back now wouldn't be good for her in the future, and the two of them usually keep in touch via Sound Transmission Stone.

"What, you're still thinking about Xun'er, aren't you? Be careful or I'll throw you out." Xiao Tian finally remembered that Hu Jia was a lesbian; no wonder he always felt something was off.

"No, I just miss Xun'er. She's my best friend!" Hu Jia felt like something was off about her, like something had changed about her.

Xiao Tian noticed Hu Jia's words and glanced at her almost imperceptibly.

"Greedy, fickle, heartless scumbag!" Hu Jia cursed inwardly as she thought of the beautiful women in Xiao Tian's harem.

Are you insulting me?

Upon hearing this, Hu Jia paused, thinking to herself, "No way, she's strong and she also has this ability?"

"You really were insulting me!" Seeing Hu Jia's expression, Xiao Tian knew he hadn't guessed wrong.

"I'm just scolding you. Who told you to be such a womanizer?" Hu Jia, defiant and resolute, said, "I'm doing this for Xun'er's sake."

"Xun'er has no objections, but you have quite a lot to say."

"I'd go to great lengths for my friends," Hu Jia said, hands on her hips, head held high.

"Ah, right, right, Hu Niu is the most loyal." Xiao Tian shook his head helplessly, then continued, "Also, stop trying to stand up straight. If you're too small, standing up straight won't help."

Hu Jia was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, staring blankly at Xiao Tian: "Small? What do you mean, small?"

Following Xiao Tian's gaze downwards, he instantly exploded. "I call this small? Are you blind?"

My own isn't particularly big, but it's not small either—definitely the size of a dragon fruit, C+.
