You only like girls, right?

Xiao Xiao watched Xiao Yi and the others walk away, then looked at the four girls before her. Why did she get the feeling that the air was about to explode at any moment?

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were chatting and laughing nearby, casting strange glances at Tang Wutong from time to time. Tang Ya felt that the way this person looked at her was incredibly wrong, as if she were dying to skin her alive. Could it be that her man was so outstanding that he could even attract other men?

Xiao Yi, oh Xiao Yi, you really are a sinful bastard.

Xiao Xiao was filled with endless confusion, her gaze shifting between the gnashing-toothed Tang Wutong and the departing Xiao Yi.

Suddenly, with a boom, Xiao Xiao felt as if she understood everything in an instant. Wait, no way! Are Brother Xiao Yi and them playing that wild in private? I really want to join in.

Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong's thoughts reached a startling consensus at this moment, though with slight deviations: Huo Yutong was shyly wondering if it would be too stimulating for the two of them to be with Xiao Yi together, while Xiao Xiao was worried that she might not be able to handle it if there were two of them.

Xiao Yi had no idea that Xiao Xiao was currently firing up her "ghost brain" to treat him like a double-socket power strip.

He looked at the two young girls before him with some confusion, and the three of them stood there, falling into an eerie silence.

Ning Tian's face was flushed, her fair skin glowing with an alluring pink. With her apricot-shaped face and peach-blossom cheeks, she looked as soft as jelly under the lights, though he had no idea what she was thinking.

Wu Feng, on the other hand, had a vacant look in her eyes, as if she had fallen into some unpleasant fantasy. She would twitch all over from time to time, leaving him feeling completely baffled.

"Miss Ning Tian, didn't you say you wanted to talk to me alone? This is..." Not knowing how to start, Xiao Yi had actually always been an introverted person.

"Ah? Ah... naming the child Xiao Xianxian would be quite nice." Startled by the reminder, Ning Tian reacted suddenly, her brain short-circuiting as the words slipped out. Xiao Yi's mind went blank—was the progress really that fast?

Why did he have a sense of déjà vu, like when a goddess smiles at you in the classroom and you're already planning where to take your wedding photos?

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

Xiao Yi made a move to leave, but was hurriedly grabbed by Ning Tian. Turning back, he saw she had regained her composure, though she was still stammering.

"You can just call me by my name, Xiao Yi; there's no need to be so distant." As expected of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, her ability to adjust herself was quite impressive.

"The reason I sought you out this time is to invite you to join the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Our sect is willing to offer you the status of a sect elder, and, and..." Her voice grew quieter as she spoke, until it was barely audible.

A few more blushes crept onto the young girl's face, yet she couldn't bring herself to say those final words.

Why was this plot feeling so familiar? Xiao Yi had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had experienced this before.

"So, it's 'and' what? Ning Tian~" Xiao Yi deliberately drew out the tone and speed of her name, his voice teasing and playful. This was just too interesting.

Only then did Wu Feng seem to "reboot." The moment she opened her eyes and saw the blushing Ning Tian and the teasing Xiao Yi, she rolled her eyes back and started twitching and short-circuiting again, like a robot that had pulled its own memory core because it refused to face reality.

Don't dare open my eyes. I hope this is just a hallucination.

"It's~ just that~... I think we could get to know each other better." Ning Tian's tone was soft and sweet, carrying a maiden's shyness. It was quite different from the dignified and composed demeanor she had shown at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, making her seem rather cute.

Xiao Yi looked Ning Tian up and down. Her short, golden hair gave her a somewhat androgynous look, yet her small face exuded a sense of dignity and elegance, as if it were carved into her very bones. Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, her straight, long legs were captivating, and the young girl's frame, while still youthful, was exquisite.

In fact, aside from her hair, Ning Tian was a rare beauty. Unlike Tang Ya's liveliness, Jiang Nannan's coldness, or the cuteness of Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong, hers was a different kind of dignified beauty.

Seeing Xiao Yi's peach-blossom eyes scanning her up and down, Ning Tian felt a bit nervous. Although being scrutinized so openly felt unnatural, she didn't feel repulsed; it meant she still had a chance, which was far better than being rejected outright.

Xiao Yi leaned in closer to Ning Tian, wearing his usual smile. However, Xiao Yi rarely realized that his smile was actually quite wicked; it didn't give off the gentle, approachable vibe he intended, but rather felt like he was flirting...

Xiao Yi reached out and twirled a strand of hair from Ning Tian's forehead between his fingers. There was a faint scent of tulips on the girl.

Ning Tian shrank her head, not daring to look at Xiao Yi. Her heart was pounding, her mind a blank slate. Feeling Xiao Yi's breath so close, her head was buzzing. Is the progress really this fast? What should we do next? Would it be better to have a girl or a boy?

Just as Ning Tian had already started naming their fourth child, Xiao Yi withdrew his hand.

"Ning Tian might look better with long hair. Come find me again after that." Xiao Yi said with a smile. He felt that Ning Tian was a bit obsessed and frightened, as if her spirit had been tainted.

Ning Tian came back to her senses. Watching Xiao Yi's departing back, she twirled her own hair, understanding in her heart, though she felt a lingering sense of loss. She then dragged the still-short-circuiting and self-deluding Wu Feng away. From today on, she would grow her hair long.

Xiao Yi walked toward the others who were still standing there.

"Let's go, Yutong, Wulin. I'll be your sparring partner." Xiao Yi said with a smile, but as he looked over, he noticed the atmosphere was somewhat subtle. Everyone except Huo Yutong and Tang Wutong was looking at him with a very strange expression.

Tang Wutong's face turned bright red, but she didn't speak, as if she had something unspeakable on her mind.

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

She had already felt that Tang Wulin's gaze was very strange, as was Xiao Xiao's. She even had a bold guess, and then a single sentence from Xiao Xiao plunged the atmosphere into something truly bizarre, while Tang Wutong was left to "overheat" in silence.

"Yutong, don't you think Xiao Yi and Wulin are quite a match?" Xiao Xiao whispered into Huo Yutong's ear. It was a futile attempt to hide the truth; everyone present was a Spirit Master, and even if the voice was low, it was just a conspiracy whispered right in front of them.

Tang Wutong's face turned bright red instantly. She didn't know how to explain—she couldn't say she was actually a girl, nor could she say she didn't like Xiao Yi. She could only "overheat" and explode on her own.

However, this appearance only made the others think she was embarrassed after being caught harboring a secret crush on Xiao Yi.

Tang Ya pondered: if Xiao Yi were the "top," she could actually accept Tang Wutong.

Xiao Yi didn't react immediately to Tang Ya's words.

"Of course I only like girls? Why would you ask that so suddenly?" Everyone's gaze turned toward the bright red Tang Wutong, and Xiao Yi understood instantly.

He cast a teasing look at Tang Wutong, his eyes seeming to say:

Miss Tang, you wouldn't want others to find out you're a girl disguised as a boy, would you?
