Chapter 144
The decision for Yu Yi to go to the maze with them was thus finalized, and Tang Miao seemed to be the most worried person, feeling listless all day.
Qian Duoduo couldn’t stand his appearance and pouted, saying, “Are you so concerned about your Senior Sister? She has her tribulation puppet protecting her, and she doesn’t have to fight. But we have to compete.”
Qian Duoduo hesitated for a moment after saying the last half of the sentence, then blurted out impulsively, “Why don’t you care about me?”
It’s not surprising she’s jealous; Qian Duoduo felt extremely wronged. Tang Miao was clearly just a low-level Golden Core cultivator, but in just a few days, they encountered the top Little Junior Sister of the Luyan Sect, the glamorous and alluring unknown rogue cultivator Big Sister, and a female cultivator from an insignificant sect who claimed Tang Miao had saved her life. Even when they went to the market to buy things, female cultivators often gave Tang Miao extra storage bags.
Why does Tang Miao attract female cultivators like this!
Qian Duoduo was so angry she stomped her foot. Then she heard Tang Miao say:
“Sigh, you don’t know.”
“What don’t I know?” Qian Duoduo was a bit nervous and started to speculate, “Could it be… you like your Senior Sister?”
That’s it. Yu Yi is so beautiful, what chance does she have?
Tang Miao didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he hesitated, showing a hesitant expression. This was tantamount to admitting it in Qian Duoduo’s eyes, leaving her stunned.
“Is it true?”
Yu Yi is so beautiful for no reason, Qian Duoduo almost cried.
“No, no, no.” Tang Miao was still immersed in his thoughts and only came to his senses later, denying repeatedly.
He looked at Qian Duoduo in front of him. They hadn’t known each other for long, but they got along extremely well. She was a very sincere girl, warm and generous. Tang Miao had a very good impression of her, mainly because… he really needed to discuss things with someone now.
And he wasn’t sure if this matter was true or false. He had been too casual in discussing it with his master and the others, and Qian Duoduo, a reliable fellow cultivator, was perfect for this.
Tang Miao made up his mind. Even though it was safe in their own courtyard, he released his spiritual consciousness to prevent others from overhearing.
Seeing Tang Miao being so cautious, Qian Duoduo immediately realized it wasn’t a trivial matter and sat up straight.
Just as Qian Duoduo sat up, she heard Tang Miao say in a very uncertain tone:
“My mother told me before she passed away that I am actually a girl.”
“…” Qian Duoduo was stunned on the spot. “…Huh?”
“You heard me right.” Tang Miao sighed and continued, “According to my mother’s wishes, she initially wanted me to compete for the throne as a prince. She begged a well-connected immortal and used a secret technique to turn me into a man.”
“…” Qian Duoduo had an expression as if she was listening to a fantasy story. Could it be? Could it be that Tang Miao, in order to reject her, came up with such nonsense?
“Don’t mention you, even I don’t believe this story myself. I’ve been a man all these years. How could I be a woman? Moreover, since practicing cultivation, no immortal has ever pointed out anything unusual about me.”
Tang Miao paused here.
“But I do get along particularly well with female cultivators. Like you’ve seen, the Little Junior Sister from the Luyan Sect, the rogue cultivator Big Sister Lin Zi, oh, and Xu Wen, the fairy from the Unmeasured Sect who came to repay me, they’re all my friends.”
Qian Duoduo’s expression was indescribable. They all fancy you, but you treat them as sisters?
Qian Duoduo couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to defend her rivals—
“Not to mention them, even you, Duoduo, aren’t you also my close friend?” Tang Miao’s expression was sincerely brotherly, as if looking at a good brother.
Really???
Tang Miao looked at her expectantly.
Qian Duoduo’s heart was crushed by this statement. Enduring humiliation, she replied expressionlessly, “Yes, I am, I’m not anyone else.”
Tang Miao gave a brilliant smile. “If it weren’t for you, my friend, I wouldn’t know who to turn to.”
The topic changed so abruptly that Qian Duoduo went from the joy of “Tang Miao doesn’t like Yu Yi, one less strong opponent” one moment to the huge shock of “the person I like just told me he’s probably a woman and even treats me like a brother” the next, leaving her completely stunned.
Qian Duoduo was still a bit confused. She trembled as she gathered her courage, trying to regain some rationality, and sniffled, “So… are you worried about the maze now?”
Tang Miao nodded.
“I haven’t been inside the maze yet, but I’ve heard that once you’re in, you can’t hide. Those below the Nascent Soul stage will immediately revert to their original form. Perhaps I will…”
Revert to being a girl on the spot, Qian Duoduo completed the second half of his sentence for him, feeling the impermanence of life, particularly desolate.
What should she say? What could she say?
Qian Duoduo hesitated for a moment.
“I’ll bring an extra small skirt… for you to use?” she suggested.
“You’re right.” Tang Miao suddenly realized and nodded seriously. “It would be inappropriate to wear this outfit at that time. Thank you, Duoduo.”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have thought of such details.”
The handsome and elegant young cultivator looked at her with gratitude and admiration, and being her crush, Qian Duoduo felt instantly happy, her heart pounding. Her face turned red as she said, “Between us, there’s no need for such words.”
As soon as she blushed, she suddenly realized—
Tang Miao didn’t seem to mind wearing a skirt?
Damn.
Qian Duoduo understood, she was probably going to be heartbroken for real.
