Confessing True Feelings, Auntie Has Been There

"Tell me, Lin Xiao, are you tired of us?"

"Sister Yanyan and I watched you grow up. How can you let some other Wild Sisters come in and take our place? Getting tired of the old and favoring the new is a Scumbag's standard move!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling teamed up, coming to demand an explanation!

Lin Xiao's eyes widened, unable to speak.

He went to Slaughter City and became a Scumbag?

But Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan didn't care about any of that. They used both soft tactics and charming pleas, essentially demanding that Lin Xiao take them along on his future training expeditions.

Ye Qingxian watched, feeling a strange pang of jealousy.

She couldn't interject in this situation, but so what if Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling watched Lin Xiao grow up? They only watched; she was the one who raised him!

"Alright, stop making a fuss!"

Ye Qingxian intervened:

"Lin Xiao went to Slaughter City, are you two going too?"

Slaughter City?

A look of confusion appeared in Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's eyes.

Ye Qingxian explained the horrors of Slaughter City to them. The two instantly paled, and their gazes towards Lin Xiao were filled with shame.

"Little Lin Xiao, you went to such a terrifying place?"

"Little Lin Xiao, you didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

Lin Xiao found it rather amusing:

"Speedrunning Slaughter City in half a year, what danger could I encounter? Though it is a bit of a shame, I originally wanted to Slaughter a City, but in the end, I only killed over two thousand Fallen Ones."

Killed over two thousand Fallen Ones!

This time, it wasn't just Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan who were dumbfounded; even Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes widened, and her red lips parted in astonishment.

"You killed over two thousand Fallen Ones?!"

Lin Xiao nodded solemnly.

He wasn't saying this to show off, but rather to remind the people around him of his changes, so that when he displayed his decisive and ruthless side in the future, it wouldn't seem strange or make them afraid to approach him.

Fortunately, the anticipated looks of possible unfamiliarity and fear were not present.

Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"Well killed! The people in Slaughter City are all utterly wicked individuals, nothing but brutal, perverse, and universally condemned beasts! I was even discussing with Poison Douluo about training your disposition and letting you see blood before, but it seems that was unnecessary."

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan felt dizzy and shaken.

In their minds, they couldn't help but picture Lin Xiao standing high in the air, glancing coldly at the Ferocious Criminals and Demonic Leaders below, and with a wave of his hand, the powerful enemies turning to dust.

How handsome that must have been!

Lin Xiao saw that no one was treating him like a bloodthirsty freak.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "If I could bring Sister Yanyan and Sister Ling Ling, I naturally would. When have I not constantly missed you?"

The older Lin Xiao got,

the deeper his feelings for Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan became.

He realized that this had already surpassed the emotions between siblings.

However, why did it feel like Sister Ling Ling and Sister Yanyan were more anxious than him?

The few of them gathered and chatted until dinner.

...

After dinner, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan still wanted to pull Lin Xiao aside to talk. Both were very curious about Lin Xiao's experiences over the past six months. The mysterious and terrifying Slaughter City was also very alluring to them.

But Lin Xiao was called away by Ye Qingxian.

In the quiet corridor,

Ye Qingxian's eyes held a hint of complexity as she spoke:

"Lin Xiao, what do you think of Ling Ling and Yan Yan?"

Lin Xiao: ?

He was a bit confused.

How else could he think of them? With his eyes!

Ye Qingxian simply laid it bare, saying softly:

"Those two foolish girls both like you, did you know?"

Lin Xiao's face turned red, and he nodded.

Of course, he could feel the affection between them that went beyond friendship. If he insisted he didn't know, that would be pretending a bit too much.

Ye Qingxian exhaled, her voice soft.

"Aunt Ye has been through a lot. I want to hear your thoughts now. What are your feelings for your Sister Yanyan and Sister Ling Ling, and that little girl Shui Bing'er..."

"What hasn't Aunt seen? Whatever troubles you have, or any difficult problems you can't handle, you can tell Aunt."

"I can't make the decision for you, but I can give you advice, help you strategize, and at the very least, comfort you, right?"

Lin Xiao had never thought about this kind of thing.

On one hand, his focus was primarily on cultivation; on the other hand, wasn't it also because he found choosing difficult?

He looked up, quite troubled.

"Aunt Ye, I don't know what I should do."

"I..."

Lin Xiao hesitated, as if it was hard to say.

How intelligent was Ye Qingxian?

She saw the boy's struggle at a glance, and with a chuckle, she stroked his head gently and said softly:

"Aunt Ye guesses, is it that you find it hard to say, as if you can't give up any of them, so you don't dare to make a choice easily?"

"Are you afraid of regretting it yourself, and also afraid of hurting others?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

Aunt Ye really could predict things like a god.

Indeed.

To say something rather scummy, he wanted to protect every girl for a lifetime.

Ye Qingxian said:

"After all, these are the thoughts of a young man. Only children make choices. How could adults have this kind of trouble?"

"As long as they are willing, and you are willing, if it's something you both want, what does it matter to anyone else?"

Ye Qingxian didn't mention the matter of Three Wives and Four Concubines.

This was common knowledge on the Continent, nothing worth talking about, just like people in the feudal era wouldn't question the rationality of the emperor's existence.

In her opinion, Lin Xiao had a young man's spirit, valuing relationships most, which was why he was hesitant, unconsciously choosing to avoid the issue.

Lin Xiao's eyes widened.

If his understanding wasn't wrong.

Aunt Ye's meaning was... he should have them all?

Ye Qingxian chided:

"You are young, you can wait, but Ling Ling and Yan Yan are Big Girls already. You're not in a hurry, but they are. Why don't you ask them first if they are willing, and if not, then discuss other options?"

Lin Xiao was completely bewildered.

Ye Qingxian spoke so matter-of-factly that it completely threw him off.

He tentatively asked.

"Aunt Ye, are you serious about what you're saying?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Aunt Ye, don't you think it's not very good for me to like more than one girl?"

"Does only liking one person necessarily mean it's genuine affection?"

Ye Qingxian said earnestly:

"If you go against your heart and say one thing while meaning another, that is hypocritical and foolish."

She patted Lin Xiao's shoulder.

"You are a Manly Man, you should show some Manly Man's spirit. Being Cowardly won't make girls like you."

"As for your childish shyness... there's really no need. If your strength is low and you are useless, not only can you not protect your own women, but you have to rely on women to protect you, then you thinking about being affectionate is truly deserving of death."

"But you must remember, you are worthy."

Lin Xiao's expression was strange.

He didn't know why he thought of Yu Xiaogang.

Wasn't Yu Xiaogang like that? Not only could he not protect his own women, but he was protected and cared for by women, and in the end, he was even used by Qian Xunji as a bargaining chip to control Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's tragic fate originated from Yu Xiaogang.

A man living to that extent was truly Cowardly.

Lin Xiao looked at Ye Qingxian gratefully.

"Aunt Ye, I understand what you mean."

"But I want to know, do girls really not mind their loved one liking other people?"

Ye Qingxian playfully chided him,

"Of course anyone would mind! It just depends on how much she likes you."

"But there are exceptions. For a sister towards a younger brother, or a mother towards her son, sometimes they can't wait for the other person to have a huge harem..."

Lin Xiao: ???

"So, which kind are you towards me, Aunt Ye?"

Ye Qingxian didn't answer. She tapped Lin Xiao on the forehead and sent him back.
