Huo Yutong walked along the main street of a town near the Far North, looking extremely excited.
This is understandable, as from this moment on, she is a genius with Twin Martial Souls, possessing both her Body Martial Soul and her Ultimate Martial Soul.
Whoever is in this situation will be in a good mood.
Besides that, there was something else that made her feel incredibly relieved.
That is, she finally recognized her own feelings and decided to take the initiative to pursue Lin Xi.
Although she Duoduo understanding of her own feelings in the past, she always subconsciously avoided them.
It wasn't that she felt ashamed, but rather that she subconsciously realized that Lin Xi had no romantic interest in that area at all.
He genuinely treated Huo Yutong like a younger sister, without a single ulterior motive.
Huo Yutong was unsure how Lin Xi would react if she took the initiative to express her feelings.
In the worst-case scenario, their relationship might completely fall apart.
That was something Huo Yutong could not accept.
But from this moment on, Huo Yutong decided to take a gamble.
Since arriving at the Shrek Academy, more and more suitors have tried to get close to Lin Xi, and their quality is generally quite good, especially Wang Dong and Ning Tian, who are among the best of their peers.
Fortunately, both of them had their own problems, otherwise Huo Yutong might have really said, "I was here Mingming."
In Huo Yutong's view, if the situation of girls who have feelings for Lin Xi were to be compared to a 1000-meter race, it would be categorized as follows:
Ning Tian and other girls who were unaware of their own feelings for Lin Xi, or who were simply unable to get close to her, were essentially not even at the starting line.
Wang Dong's case is a bit special. She had only run 100 meters when referee Lin Xi gave her a yellow card due to off-field factors. If she had continued running, she would have been given a red card. She was better than the girls in front of her, but not by much.
As for Huo Yutong herself, she ran 999.9 meters in the opposite direction. Whether she was completely out of the running or just one step away from victory depended entirely on the referee's decision.
Huo Yutong estimated that if they were to completely clarify their relationship now, there was a more than 90% chance that Lin Xi would directly judge her as the loser.
To put it bluntly, her relationship with Lin Xi is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it allows her to maintain an unparalleled position in Lin Xi's heart, but on the other hand, it makes it difficult for her to change the relationship between the two.
Therefore, we cannot be reckless; we must proceed gradually and change Lin Xi's attitude towards her little by little.
Thinking of this, she asked the two beings in the Sea of Consciousness:
" Brother Sky Dream, Ice Empress, how can I become more feminine?"
"?"
"Ah?"
Ice Empress and Tian Meng, who had been bickering in the Sea of Consciousness, were both stunned.
Tian Meng asked with concern:
" Yutong, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Huo Yutong hesitated for a moment before answering:
" Brother Sky Dream, as you know, I like Brother Lin Xi, but he doesn't feel the same way about me at all. I think besides our different ways of interacting, my lack of femininity is also a very important factor."
As she spoke, Huo Yutong looked down at her figure with regret.
Her physical development is truly astounding. Even though Lin Xi is providing her with almost overflowing nutrition, her body is still so... promising for the future.
"Oh, I see."
Tian Meng suddenly realized.
He immediately understood Huo Yutong's little scheme.
He suddenly felt a sense of kinship with Huo Yutong.
In a sense, both he and she were like simps who couldn't have what they wanted.
The difference is that Ice Empress treated him as food, while Lin Xi treated Huo Yutong as a younger sister.
Ice Empress was somewhat curious.
"Who is this Lin Xi you're talking about?"
Tian Meng explained:
"He's like Yutong's childhood friend and guardian. He's a human boy whose talent can only be described as terrifying. I'm sure that even with your and my help, Yutong still can't beat him."
"Oh?" Ice Empress narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "Then I'll see what kind of guy he is."
As one of the Ten Great Savage Beasts and the second of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, Ice Empress was undoubtedly very proud.
Tian Meng's assertion that those she supported were inferior to other humans aroused her dissatisfaction.
Tian Meng also realized this.
He quickly steered the conversation back on track.
"Ahem, Bingbing, that's not the point right now. Our task is to help Yutong win Lin Xi's heart. Trust me, this will definitely be a huge help for Yutong's ascension to godhood."
"... All right."
Ice Empress clicked his tongue in displeasure, looked at Huo Yutong, and said:
" Yutong, you want to pursue that human named Lin Xi, right? Then take my advice, don't try to use enhancing your femininity as a breakthrough."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because you're not suitable, neither your figure nor your temperament is suitable."
"Waaah..."
Hearing Ice Empress's resolute statement, Huo Yutong lowered her head dejectedly.
The Ice Empress, which has lived deep in the Far North for many years, actually has no idea what human women should be like.
But she knew Snow Empress.
In her opinion, Snow Empress was the epitome of womanhood... no, more accurately, she exuded queenly charm.
Huo Yutong and Snow Empress are almost opposite in every way, completely not conforming to Ice Empress's aesthetic standards.
Tian Meng quickly smoothed things over, saying:
" Bingbing, you can't say that. Just because someone has a good figure or a sophisticated air doesn't mean they're feminine."
"...!"
Hearing him say that, Huo Yutong immediately looked up at Xiang Tian, her face full of anticipation.
A bead of sweat rolled down Tian Meng's face.
He's a bastard who's been single for a million years, what does he know about femininity?
But faced with Huo Yutong's expectant gaze, he had no choice but to force himself to continue making things up.
"Femininity, simply put, is the quality that makes men's hearts flutter. It can be a mature, sophisticated woman, a girl next door, or a cool, aloof queen. In short, the most important thing, Yutong, is that you must grasp your role."
"Focus on your role..." Huo Yutong repeated softly, then said excitedly, "I understand, Brother Sky Dream, you're amazing! I thought you wouldn't be able to come up with anything!"
"Forehead..."
Tian Meng's lips twitched.
Damn it, he forgot that Huo Yutong had the ability to sense emotions.
His acting skills didn't fool her at all from the beginning.
He sighed.
"So, do you know what to do?"
"Yes! Don't worry, I'm not sure what will happen in the future, but I already know the first change I need to make now."
Huo Yutong arrived in front of a small house.
This is one of the warehouses of the Unlimited Blade Works Chamber of Commerce, and Lin Xi and she had agreed to meet here.
She took a deep breath and then flung the door open.
"Lin, Lin, Lin, Lin Xi! I'm back!"
Then, without thinking twice, she pounced on Lin Xi, meeting his shocked gaze.
Huo Yutong buried her face deeply in Lin Xi's chest, hiding her flushed cheeks.
That's right, this was the first step she decided to take.
Change the form of address.
Brother Sky Dream is right, she must understand her own position and role.
The nickname " Brother Lin Xi " was a respectful way she addressed Lin Xi when they were children. Back then, she genuinely regarded Lin Xi as a reliable older brother, but things are different now.
She doesn't want to be a younger sister forever.
So naturally, her name changed to " Lin Xi ".
How will he react to this change in her?
Huo Yutong felt that Lin Xi's body was stiff for a while before it finally relaxed slowly.
After a long silence, he sighed and said in a heart-wrenching voice:
Welcome back, Yutong.
