The two did as they were told and obediently sat down in front of Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi pointed into the air with a finger. Two tiny flames flew out of the Fallen Heart Flame and entered the women's bodies. They coursed through their meridians, heading toward their dantians.
Jiang Nannan felt a wave of heat darting around inside her. The shyness she had just managed to suppress bubbled up again, and a rosy flush spread across her face. She opened her eyes and glared at Xiao Yi, embarrassed and annoyed. This guy—she hadn't even agreed yet, and he'd already seen her naked again.
Tang Ya, on the other hand, looked perfectly calm. Xiao Yi had explored every inch of her body, even her fingers... Ahem, ahem.
Xiao Yi remained expressionless. It had all been necessary. Glaring at him wouldn't help. He didn't know what their bodies were like on the inside, after all; he'd only seen them once before.
Before long, Xiao Yi planted a Fire Seal on each woman's forehead. It quickly faded from view. It was still inconvenient to have it show up between their brows.
"All done." He slowly withdrew his hand and smiled at the two women. Tang Ya's eyes darted about before she quickly wrapped her arms around Jiang Nannan.
"Nannan, what's your answer? You're just as important to me as she is..." Jiang Nannan was caught off guard by the hug, but before she could pull away, a small hand grabbed her most vulnerable spot. Xiao Yi grinned without even trying to hide it. Pretty girls cuddling—it was a feast for the eyes.
Jiang Nannan shot Xiao Yi an exasperated glare.
"And you're still laughing? You already... You..." Her voice was faint as a mosquito's, and she struggled to get the words out. In the end, she nodded. He'd already seen her naked twice, so he had to take responsibility. That was how Jiang Nannan convinced herself.
Xiao Yi didn't mind. When it came to romance, he'd always believed in winning over the person first and the heart later. Given enough time, affection would grow.
"By the way, Xiao Yi, why do you call Nannan 'Nannan-jie,' but call me 'Little Ya'?" Tang Ya lifted her little head and stared straight at him.
"Little Ya, why do you think?" Xiao Yi glanced over the two women. The sight was just too beautiful; he couldn't help looking again and again.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll have to check." Seeing Xiao Yi's gaze, Tang Ya's mischievous side kicked in, and she started tugging at Jiang Nannan's clothes.
"Little Ya!" Jiang Nannan cried out. She really hadn't expected Tang Ya to pull something like that. Embarrassed and annoyed, she turned and pinned Tang Ya down, and the two began play-wrestling on the bed.
Xiao Yi watched without blinking, feasting his eyes. Mm, Little Ya really was little.
The three of them happily played around in the room, while the two waiting outside were left in agony.
Bei Bei felt miserable just thinking about what might be happening inside. Xiao Yi, go easy on her. My heart aches for Little Ya.
Xu Sanshi looked utterly pained and despairing, twisting in agony off to the side. Nannan, no—my Nannan!
Xiao Yi called a halt to the two women's playful scuffle. Their clothes were now disheveled, revealing broad swaths of snowy-white skin. He felt like he was about to lose control, but this clearly wasn't the time to do anything. There were three others waiting for him to spar with them, and he'd already kept them waiting long enough. He needed to get over there.
Both women blushed as they straightened their clothes, then ushered the transfixed Xiao Yi out.
As he came out, Xiao Yi muttered under his breath. They wouldn't even let him watch them change, though they hadn't treated him like an outsider just moments ago.
Two and a half minutes later, the pair downstairs, who had felt every second stretch into an eternity, finally saw the three of them come down.
Xiao Yi walked behind the two women, looking perfectly content as he held Jiang Nannan's little hand. Her cheeks were faintly red, but she let him hold it. Tang Ya, meanwhile, bounced along beside them, chattering away.
Xu Sanshi's eyes were practically spitting fire. The sight of Xiao Yi's satisfied expression made the scene play out in his mind. Just thinking about the possibility made his head feel ready to explode.
He leaped out and pointed at Xiao Yi, unable to get a word out for a long moment. I haven't even touched her, and he's already getting to stand up and take a bow.
Xiao Yi stared blankly at the tall young man in front of him. Who was this guy? Why did he look like someone had stolen his wife? Bei Bei came out too, wearing an equally grim expression. Xiao Yi immediately guessed who they were.
Xiao Yi didn't say anything. Though he was now the Tang Sect's sect master, Bei Bei had once liked Tang Ya, after all. Rubbing it in his face wouldn't be very nice. Still, the two of them looked like they hadn't come with good intentions.
"Kid! Get your filthy hands off her! I won't let you touch her!" Xu Sanshi roared, his voice shrill, like a helpless husband.
"Huh?" Xiao Yi looked at the young man as if he were an idiot.
"Who are you? What business is it of yours if I hold my own girlfriend's hand?" He'd planted a Fire Seal on her, so she was his now. Xiao Yi squeezed Jiang Nannan's hand and looked at her questioningly.
Xu Sanshi's face reddened with anger, but he couldn't come up with a reason. Was he supposed to say he was Jiang Nannan's pathetic simp?
"Xu Sanshi, I have nothing to do with you. What right do you have to interfere?" Jiang Nannan's face turned icy. He'd been like this before too: whenever anyone got close to her, he'd start a fight.
Xiao Yi looked enlightened. So it was Xu Sanshi. He just hadn't expected him to still like Jiang Nannan even though that incident hadn't happened.
He looked at Xu Sanshi with a touch of pity. He'd felt what it was like to watch the woman he loved in someone else's arms in his previous life, but...
Xiao Yi pulled Jiang Nannan into his arms without changing his expression. Inside, he was cackling. He'd been caught in the rain, so of course he'd have to tear someone else's umbrella to shreds. Jiang Nannan blushed a little, but let him hold her.
Seeing this, Xu Sanshi's eyes turned bloodshot and he panted like a bull. He flew into a rage on the spot, Soul Power surging around him.
His Black Tortoise Martial Soul Possession covered him in heavy tortoiseshell armor. Two yellow and two purple Soul Rings rose beneath his feet. His First Soul Ring flashed as he attacked Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi had already guessed he would make a move. He released Jiang Nannan and shielded her behind him. Without a Soul Ring flashing, he raised a fist and sent it flying, carrying a surge of spiritual power toward the force of the shock wave.
The two forces collided, then canceled each other out.
His control still wasn't good enough, Xiao Yi thought. That attack hadn't come close to unleashing the true might of Dominating the World. After all, he'd only learned the basics.
Bei Bei was shocked. He could tell that the move was his great-grandfather's signature technique. But before he could ask about it, Xiao Yi spoke.
"You attack us at the slightest disagreement, and you still have the nerve to say you like Nannan-jie?" Xiao Yi's voice was cold.
"Exactly. Xu Sanshi, how can you even show your face? And you too, Bei Bei. Xiao Yi is the new sect master of our Tang Sect. What are you trying to do?" Tang Ya looked displeased as she addressed the two men.
The commotion had drawn a crowd of Shrek students. A teacher on duty was already hurrying over.
Xu Sanshi was at a loss for words. He wanted to say something, but when he met Jiang Nannan's gaze, nothing came out.
Bei Bei looked awkward too. But seeing Tang Ya act that way left him feeling stifled.
Xiao Yi gave Tang Ya an exasperated look. My Little Ya, that mouth of yours really knows how to break hearts and deal endless damage—one hit to shatter their defenses, another to land a critical blow.
"I can't be bothered to say more. You and I will fight. If you lose, stay away from Nannan-jie from now on."
Xu Sanshi immediately saw his chance.
"Fine. If you lose, you'll leave the Tang Sect and stay away from both of them."
Tang Ya was having none of that. She'd gone to all that trouble to bring Xiao Yi in, and now this bastard Xu Sanshi wanted him gone.
Before she could start cursing him out, Xiao Yi shot her a look. Tang Ya understood at once.
"Xu Sanshi, I'll accept that condition on Xiao Yi's behalf. But if you lose, you'll also have to hand over two Mystic Water Pills."
Xiao Yi blinked. Tang Ya, you really are a little clever-clogs. He hadn't even thought of that. Bei Bei felt vexed watching the two exchange glances. He knew Xiao Yi was strong, and Xu Sanshi couldn't possibly beat him alone. Still, he couldn't speak up; he was a member of the Tang Sect too.
"Bei Bei, you can join him. I won't bully you, Xu Sanshi. That way, no one can say I won by unfair means." Xiao Yi spoke slowly. He knew Bei Bei was probably still unwilling to give up; otherwise, he wouldn't have waited outside with Xu Sanshi. This was the perfect chance to shatter his last illusions.
Xu Sanshi was about to angrily rebuke Xiao Yi for looking down on him, but Bei Bei held him back.
Meeting Xiao Yi's gaze, Bei Bei understood this was his last chance to win Tang Ya back. His expression slowly grew resolute.
"Fine!"
