Tang Yin was stunned for a moment before her face turned red, and her heart pounded. 'Is Xiao'er considering the possibility of dual cultivating with me?'
"What's wrong with you? Do you feel sick?" Tang Xiao asked with a serious face.
"No, I'm fine." Tang Yin shook her head slightly. "By the way, you should find a girlfriend and teach her to be a cultivator like us, AND you can dual-cultivate with her later. After you get a girlfriend, I'll look for a boyfriend, and I'll dual cultivate with him."
Tang Xiao's expression became stiff after he heard that, confusing Tang Yin.
"Why are you reacting like this? Don't you want to find a girlfriend? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to take the path of dual cultivation, right?" Tang Yin asked in confusion.
Tang Xiao inwardly sighed and silently hugged Tang Yin, but his expression looked complicated, and his forehead was constantly frowning.
Tang Yin looked up at him. "Did I say something wrong?"
"You didn't say anything wrong; it's just that I feel strange in my heart." Tang Xiao's answer confused her further. "Actually, there are three women I like, but two of them betrayed me."
"Huh?" Tang Yin could instantly guess the identity of one of the women. "Do you love Teacher Yu?"
"Yes." Tang Xiao shamelessly admitted it. "I did love Yu Xiaoling back then, but she was the third woman I loved."
Who is the second woman?" Tang Yin put on a curious look.
"Do you remember Jessica?" Tang Yin was taken back for a moment before nodding to Tang Xiao. "Back then, she was my classmate in early middle school, and our relationship was actually good. She was a smart girl, and we often discussed lessons. Unfortunately, she liked another guy, and he was one of the teachers at our school."
"Oh? How do you know about that? Who was her boyfriend at the time?"
"Haha." Tang Xiao laughed softly before telling her. "Back then, she wrote a love letter on a piece of paper for the teacher, but she kept it in one of her books, and I accidentally found out about it because she lent me the book."
"So, you changed your mind about Jessica after you found out about that, right?" Tang Xiao nodded to Tang Yin. "Then, you started to get close to Teacher Yu, and you fell in love with her because of her attention and consideration for you, right?"
"Yes." Tang Xiao replied with a wry smile. "Unfortunately, Yu Xiaoling and Jessica chose to join Ouyang Qing to frame me that day, and I will never forgive them for their betrayal."
Tang Yin sighed while rubbing his cheeks. "Then, who was the first woman you loved? Do I know her too?"
"Yes." Even so, Tang Xiao became hesitant to tell her about the identity of his first love.
"Why are you hesitating?" Tang Yin asked again before urging him. "Quickly! Tell me the identity of the woman who made you fall in love for the first time."
"Her name is Tang Yin." Tang Yin's eyes widened in shock and speechlessly looked at him, causing him to sigh. "I'm sorry, but I've loved you since we were little, especially after our parents died. I never showed my feelings towards you, and I kept everything in my heart."
"Do you really love me?" Tang Yin asked again to make sure she didn't hear anything wrong.
Tang Xiao looked at her eyes with a serious look and gave her a determined nod. "Yes, I love you."
"Help me take off my clothes and take me to the jacuzzi." Tang Yin's request surprised him.
"But—"
"I heard that the jacuzzi has a beneficial effect on relieving stress and muscle tension, and I want to try it." Tang Yin interrupted him directly. "Moreover, I haven't moved my body in years, so you have to help me now."
"Are you sure?" After Tang Yin nodded, Tang Xiao started to take off his big sister's clothes, but he did so awkwardly. 'This is so awkward! I often saw her naked in the past because we always bathed together, but we were still children at that time. Unlike back then, we're both over 20 years old now.'
Minutes later, Tang Yin was naked, and Tang Xiao took her into the jacuzzi. He helped her sit in it and turned on the hot water, but she suddenly asked for something else. "Take off your clothes and accompany me to soak, just like in the past."
"Huh?" Tang Xiao's eyes repeatedly blinked.
"Hurry!" Seeing his big sister's sharp gaze, Tang Xiao immediately took off his clothes. Tang Yin's eyes moved up and down as she looked at his sturdy body from top to bottom, but her heart thumped when she saw his lower body. 'Ugh! I often saw it when we were small, but it has grown substantially after many years have passed.'
Thereafter, Tang Xiao went straight into the jacuzzi and soaked beside his big sister, while Tang Yin rested her head on his broad shoulders.
Tang Yin suddenly sighed before speaking to him. "Frankly speaking, your confession shocked me. After I recalled everything, I realized that you always treated me much better than you treated yourself. However, I always thought that you treated me that way because we were siblings, and we were orphans, so I was never aware of your feelings for me."
"Big Sis—"
"Listen to me first." Tang Xiao just nodded to Tang Yin, who immediately spoke again. "To be honest, your confession made me happy, and my heart was pounding with joy. Before I fell into a coma, I had never been close to any man, and I rejected several men who confessed their love to me. You may not know about it, but I rejected them because I loved someone, and I still love him now. Unfortunately, I could never be his girlfriend, let alone his wife. After all, he is my little brother, so I buried those feelings deep inside my heart."
Tang Yin then looked at her little brother with a sweet smile, but Tang Xiao was completely stunned to the point that he couldn't say a word, as his heart was filled with various feelings after hearing her confession.
"I didn't lie to you, Xiao'er." Tang Yin said this while cupping his cheeks. "Our parents died when we were little, and our aunts were busy with their work. Even our grandpa rarely lived with us before I fell into a coma. Since you were the only man beside me, and you treated me too well, these feelings grew without my realizing it. Since then, I have loved you as a man, and I rejected those men for you, so I was truly happy to hear your confession just now."
After a while, Tang Xiao returned to his senses and pressed both of her palms against his cheeks. "Do you really love me, Big Sis?"
"Do I need to lie about my feelings?"
"Hahaha." Tang Xiao laughed loudly and pulled her onto his lap. "Your confession is the happiest thing in my life because my first love also loves me."
"I feel the same way about you." Tang Yin then hugged Tang Xiao's neck. "You are my first love, and I am truly happy to hear that you love me because my feelings are not one-sided. However, I'm not ready to take a step forward in our relationship, and I want to think it over carefully first. Moreover, we still have our grandpa, Aunt Yuan, and Aunt Qing, and I'm afraid that they will be disappointed in us."
Tang Xiao nodded in understanding. "For now, I want to enjoy our reunion, as we haven't seen each other for seven years. Moreover, I'm sure Xiao Ai has ways to help us in our cultivation, so I'll ask her after this."
"Yeah." Tang Yin snuggled against his chest, and she closed her eyes with a sweet smile on her pretty face.
*Tap... Tap...*
They turned to Xiao Ai, who had just walked in. "I've been listening to your conversation, and I have something to tell you two."
"What do you want to tell us, Xiao Ai?" Tang Yin asked.
Xiao Ai approached them and sat down by the jacuzzi. "According to the laws of this world, you two are indeed siblings. However, my master has changed completely after I reconstructed his body and rearranged his DNA, and his blood is no longer human blood but celestial blood. Even though you two were siblings at first, you are no longer related by blood. If the two of you get married and have children, your children will no longer be children of blood relations."
"Is that true?" Tang Yin asked in disbelief.
Xiao Ai smiled at that. "Mistress, you have seen all the equipment inside this ark, and they all came from the far future. If it weren't for all the equipment here, my master would have died after he fell into the ravine. Even if he managed to survive, he would have been a cripple for the rest of his life. Therefore, you don't need to doubt my words, right? Moreover, I have two easy ways to prove it, and you will believe me afterward."
"How to prove your words?"
"First, we can do DNA tests for both of you, and I dare to guarantee the results will be different." Xiao Ai then handed a small knife to Tang Xiao. "Second, you can cut your finger a little, and she can see your blood directly."
Tang Xiao himself was curious about the celestial bloodline. He accepted the knife and slightly cut his thumb, which shocked him and Tang Yin when they saw violet-gold blood dripping from the cut.
"Huh? How can his blood be this color?" Then, Tang Yin sucked Tang Xiao's thumb to stop the wound, but she felt a strange sensation from his blood.
