You Only Like Girls, Right?

Xiao Xiao watched Xiao Yi and the other two walk away, then glanced at the four girls in front of her. Why did it feel like the air would explode at the slightest spark?

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan chatted nearby, occasionally casting strange looks at Tang Wutong. She felt that Tang Wutong's gaze was especially off, as though she wanted to carve her up alive. Could it be that her man was so outstanding he could even attract other men?

Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, you really are burdened with sin, you bastard.

Xiao Xiao's mind was full of questions as her gaze shifted between the gritting Tang Wutong and the retreating Xiao Yi.

Suddenly, it was as if a light had gone on in Xiao Xiao's head. Could it be—holy crap! Did Big Brother Xiao Yi and the others get up to such wild stuff in private? She wanted in.

Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong's thoughts aligned with astonishing precision, though there was a slight difference. Huo Yutong was shyly wondering whether being together with Xiao Yi as a pair would be too intense, while Xiao Xiao was wondering whether she could handle both of them at once.

Xiao Yi had no idea Xiao Xiao's imagination was turning him into a two-hole socket.

He looked strangely at the two girls in front of him. The three of them stood there in an awkward silence.

Ning Tian's face was red, her fair skin tinged with an alluring pink. Her almond-shaped eyes and peach-blossom cheeks glowed under the lights with a jelly-like softness. She seemed lost in thought.

Wu Feng, meanwhile, stared blankly into space, apparently lost in some unpleasant fantasy. Every so often, her whole body twitched, leaving him utterly baffled.

"Miss Ning Tian, didn't you say you wanted to speak with me alone? Well..." Xiao Yi wasn't sure how to begin. He had always been rather shy.

"Huh? Oh... Xiao Xianxian is quite a lovely name for a child." Prompted by his words, Ning Tian suddenly came to her senses. Her mind blanked, and she blurted it out, leaving Xiao Yi's brain completely frozen. Was things moving this fast?

Why did he feel like he'd just seen a goddess smile at him in class and had already started planning where to take their wedding photos?

"Ahem. Miss Ning Tian, if there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Xiao Yi made to leave, but Ning Tian hurriedly caught hold of him. When he turned, he saw that she had regained her composure, though she was still stammering.

"Xiao Yi, just call me by my name. There's no need to be so formal." As expected of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; even their ability to pull themselves together was impressive.

"I asked to see you because I want to invite you to join the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Our sect is willing to offer you the position and benefits of a sect elder right away, and, and..." Her voice grew quieter as she spoke, until it was inaudible.

A few more blushes crept onto the girl's face, but no matter what, she couldn't get those last words out.

Why did this plot feel so familiar? Xiao Yi had a powerful sense of déjà vu, as if he'd been through this before.

"So, and what? Ning Tian~" Xiao Yi deliberately drew out her name, teasing her with a playful lilt. This was far too much fun.

Only then did Wu Feng seem to reboot. She opened her eyes and saw Ning Tian's flushed cheeks and Xiao Yi's teasing smile. Her eyes rolled back, and she started twitching again, short-circuiting like a robot that had yanked out its own memory module because it couldn't face reality.

Don't open your eyes. I hope this is all a hallucination.

"I-it's just... I think we could get to know each other." Ning Tian's voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a young girl's shyness. She was nothing like the composed, dignified young woman she'd been at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion; now she seemed rather adorable.

Xiao Yi looked Ning Tian up and down a few times. Her short blond hair gave her a somewhat androgynous look, while her small face seemed naturally dignified and elegant, as if that grace had been carved into her bones. Her figure was tall and well-proportioned, and her straight, long legs were captivating. Though her youthful body was still rather undeveloped, she was already shapely.

Apart from her hair, Ning Tian was a rare beauty. Unlike Tang Ya's liveliness, Jiang Nannan's cool elegance, or Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong's cuteness, she had a dignified beauty all her own.

Feeling Xiao Yi's peach-blossom eyes continuously roam over her, Ning Tian grew nervous. Though the undisguised scrutiny made her uneasy, she didn't dislike it. It meant she still had a chance, which was far better than being rejected outright.

Xiao Yi leaned closer to Ning Tian, his usual smile on his face. He rarely realized it himself, but his smile was always rather wicked. It didn't have the warm, friendly effect he intended; instead, it came across like he was teasing her...

Xiao Yi raised a hand and pinched a lock of hair from Ning Tian's forehead, gently twirling it between his fingers. A faint scent of tulips lingered about her.

Ning Tian tucked her head down, not daring to look at Xiao Yi. Her heart pounded, and her mind went blank. Feeling his breath so close, her head buzzed. Was things moving this fast? What would they do next? Would it be better to have a boy or a girl?

Just as Ning Tian had started picking names for their fourth child, Xiao Yi drew his hand back.

"Ning Tian, you might look better with long hair. Come find me after you've grown it out." Xiao Yi smiled. He felt she was a little dazed, and he was somewhat frightened. Why did it feel like his mind had been defiled?

Ning Tian came back to herself and watched Xiao Yi walk away. She twirled a lock of her hair, understanding what he meant, but still feeling a little disappointed. Then she dragged Wu Feng away, who was still frozen and trying to fool herself. From that day on, she was going to grow her hair long.

Xiao Yi walked over to the others still standing where they were.

"Come on, Yu Tong, Wulin. I'll spar with you." Xiao Yi smiled as he spoke, but when he looked over, he noticed the atmosphere was rather strange. Everyone except Huo Yutong and Tang Wutong was staring at him oddly.

Tang Wutong's face was bright red, but she didn't say anything, as if there was something she couldn't bring herself to admit.

"Xiao Yi, you... only like girls, right?" Seeing Xiao Yi standing there looking confused, Tang Ya finally spoke up.

She'd already thought Tang Wulin's gaze was very strange, and Xiao Xiao's was too. She'd even started to form a wild guess. Then Xiao Xiao's next words made the atmosphere downright bizarre, and Tang Wutong turned bright red.

"Yu Tong, don't you think Xiao Yi and Wulin make a good match?" Xiao Xiao whispered in Huo Yutong's ear. But that was just wishful thinking; everyone there was a Soul Master. Even if her voice was soft, she was only whispering a conspiracy right beside them.

Tang Wutong's face turned red in an instant. She didn't know how to explain. She couldn't say she was actually a girl, or that she didn't like Xiao Yi. All she could do was stand off to the side, blushing furiously.

But her reaction only made the others think she was embarrassed because they'd discovered she had a crush on Xiao Yi.

Tang Ya considered the matter. If Xiao Yi was a top, she could actually accept Tang Wutong.

Tang Yi was momentarily confused when he heard Tang Ya's question.

"Of course I only like girls. Why are you suddenly asking that?" Everyone's gazes turned toward the scarlet-faced Tang Wutong, and Xiao Yi immediately understood.

He looked at Tang Wutong with a teasing gaze, as if to say:

Miss Tang, you wouldn't want anyone to find out you're pretending to be a boy, would you?
