"Haha." Tang Xiao responded to Xing Xing's question with a soft laugh. "Did you forget that Xiao Ai helped you strengthen your body? She stored data about you in her database, and her database is linked to my brain."
"How do you know the types of clothes and colors I like?"
"I use the same method." Tang Xiao's answer confused Xing Xing, so he told her directly. "When I saw you at Grandpa Chen's repair shop, I couldn't recognize you because you looked different compared to seven years ago. Thus, I decided to learn more about you, and I discovered various things."
"You cheated!" Xing Xing complained while shaking her head. "I know many things about you because I've been following your daily life for years, but you find out many things about me with her help."
"You don't need to be jealous, right?" Tang Xiao held Xing Xing's hand. "You are my future wife, so you can use the facilities available there, and you can also learn many things you want to know."
"Who is your future wife? I will never marry a playboy like you!" Xing Xing exclaimed softly and pulled her hand back, and she immediately ran towards the fitting room with a blushing face. "Help me to try these clothes!"
Tang Xiao followed her into the fitting room. "Which clothes do you want to try on first?"
"Hmm?" Xing Xing looked at some of the clothes and underwear before pointing at some. "I'll try them first."
"Alright."
Xing Xing suddenly felt embarrassed to take off her clothes, as she was still a virgin and no one had ever seen her naked body. 'Sigh, forget it! I've already decided to be with him, so it doesn't matter if he sees me naked now.'
Xing Xing eventually took off her clothes and underwear, and Tang Xiao gulped hard after her naked body was exposed before his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xing Xing asked with bashful looks; even her face turned redder than before, and both hands covered her private parts.
Hearing that, Tang Xiao came back to his senses and cupped Xing Xing's cheeks, and he planted a gentle kiss on her lips, startling her.
Xing Xing did not reject Tang Xiao's kiss; instead, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back. Her heart was beating fast because it was her first kiss, and she did it with the man she had liked for so many years.
Tang Xiao didn't do anything else to Xing Xing because they were in a public place, and he separated their lips after they kissed for a while. "You are pretty, Xing. I like every part of you—your eyes, your nose, and your thick lips. Most of all, I like your tan skin."
Xing Xing shyly lowered her face after she heard Tang Xiao's praise, and she spoke to him in a mosquito voice. "Honestly, I always feel insecure about my skin because most Chinese have white skin; even Big Sis Yin's skin is so white, but my skin is actually this dark."
"You're wrong about that." Tang Xiao lifted Xing Xing's chin. "Your skin tone is quite exotic and appealing to my eyes. Therefore, you no longer need to feel insecure, okay?"
"En." Xing Xing nodded with a smile before pecking Tang Xiao on the lips, and she then tried on the clothes he chose for her one by one as she asked his opinion about her looks when she wore them.
After she tried everything, Tang Xiao took Xing Xing out of the dressing room, and he asked her to choose some suitable clothes for Chu Lingxi. Since she was her future mother-in-law, he wanted to buy some for her.
Afterward, Tang Xiao took her to a car show in another area because he could not continue using Yi An's car, so he decided to buy his own car. He didn't use his name to buy it, and he used Xing Xing's name instead. After everything was settled, they walked away from the shopping center area.
There were several women who recognized them from a distance, and one of them asked. "Hey, Qing, isn't that your mother's personal chauffeur? What is he doing with that poor girl?"
"Hmm?" Ouyang Qing raised her eyebrows as she looked at them, but she felt something strange when she looked at Tang Xiao, which came from the effects of her celestial aura as he used it on her twice.
"Since when did your mother employ such a handsome chauffeur, Qing?" Lin Yan asked Ouyang Qing.
"A few days ago." Quyang Qing then turned to them. "Forget him, and we'll go have fun now."
Lin Yan and Luo Qinlin followed Ouyang Qing, but they didn't notice Jessica's expression.
Similar to Ouyang Qing, Tang Xiao's celestial aura continued to affect Jessica, and he also used his Heart-Seizing Technique on her. Not to mention, she had been intimate with him two days ago, and she decided to leave the Ouyang House because she wanted to avoid him.
Jessica's feelings became messy again after she saw Tang Xiao just now, and the effect of his Heart-Seizing Technique became deeper, making her eager to approach them. She hurriedly suppressed her feelings, but her feelings urged her to meet him. 'Sigh! I will meet him tonight, but I won't do it at the Ouyang House; Otherwise, Ouyang Qing will be even more suspicious of me.'

"Oh?" Chu Lingxi was surprised the moment they entered the house, but she immediately grabbed Tang Xiao's shoulders. "I haven't seen you for so long, but you look more mature now, and your face looks more and more like the late Brother Ye."
Even though he felt sad when Chu Lingxi mentioned his father, Tang Xiao still smiled at her. "Long time no see, Aunt. I'm glad that you're back to health now."
"Isn't this because of you?" Chu Lingxi asked as she pulled Tang Xiao to sit beside her. "Xing'er has told me everything, and she has also taught me to be a cultivator, so thanks to you, I can be as healthy as I am now."
"You don't need to thank me, Aunt." Tang Xiao briefly glanced at Xing Xing before continuing. "Honestly, I accidentally overheard her conversation with Grandpa Chen, and I was deeply touched by her trust in me, so I wanted to repay her trust by healing you."
"Whatever your reason, I am still grateful to you." Chu Lingxi then asked him. "Do you like Xing'er?"
"Mom!"
Tang Xiao nodded to Chu Lingxi. "Our relationship wasn't close in the past, but I like her now, and I want her to be my girlfriend."
'This guy!' Xing Xing pursed her lips, but the blush on her cheeks couldn't cover her happiness.
"Xiao'er, Xing'er told me that you already have a girlfriend." Tang Xiao tensed up after hearing that, and he was afraid that Chu Lingxi would be disappointed if she knew the truth. "She hasn't told me her identity, so I hope you are willing to be honest with me about it."
Xing Xing also became tense because of this, and she shook her head at Tang Xiao, signaling him that she didn't want him to reveal the information to Chu Lingxi for now. Otherwise, her mother would be disappointed and forbid her from having a relationship with him.
Tang Xiao decided otherwise because he did not want to lie to Chu Lingxi, which would make him even more disappointed if he found out about it after he had developed a deeper relationship with Xing Xing. "Aunt, you might be disappointed in me after hearing my answer, but I decided to tell you the truth, and I'm ready to take the risk."
"What do you mean by that? Why should I feel disappointed in you?" Chu Ling Xi confusedly asked him.
Tang Xiao took a deep breath before telling her. "Aunt, to be honest with you, I don't have a girlfriend right now, but I have someone who lives in my heart."
"Hmm?" Chu Lingxi was even more confused by that.
"Aunt, the woman in my heart and who Xing Xing mentioned was my girlfriend is Big Sis Yin."
Chu Lingxi instantly froze, her expression completely shocked upon hearing Tang Xiao's confession. She looked at Xing Xing, who nodded at her. "How is that possible, Xiao'er? Yin'er... she is... you two, so—"
"Aunt, many things happened in the past few days, but I can't explain them to you in detail for now." Xiao Ai suddenly spoke to him, and Tang Xiao followed her idea by cutting his thumb slightly, which caused Chu Lingxi to be shocked when she saw the violet-gold blood flowing out of the wound. "As you can see, I am no longer a normal human, and it happened because my savior modified my body to save me from death, or else I would be in the afterlife with my parents now."
Chu Lingxi became even more shocked after hearing that. "What exactly happened to you, Xiao'er? How did you almost die?"
Tang Xiao released a soft sigh before telling Chu Lingxi about all the events that had happened to him, but he still had not told her about Xiao Ai and the ark, and he chose to wait for the right time to tell her about them. "As for my savior, I don't know him because he's dead now, and he sacrificed himself for me, so I became who I am now."
