Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 324 Revealing the Truth, Auntie is an Experienced Person
"Tell me, Lin Xiao, are you getting tired of this?"

"Yan Yan and I watched you grow up. How can you let some other woman surpass you? Being fickle and easily bored is a classic trait of a scumbag!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling went together to confront them!

Lin Xiao stared wide-eyed, speechless.

Does going to the Killing City make him a scumbag?
But Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan didn't care about any of that. They used all sorts of tricks and coaxing, trying to get Lin Xiao to take them on training trips in the future.

Ye Qingxian saw this and felt inexplicably jealous.

In this situation, she couldn't get a word in edgewise, but Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had watched Lin Xiao grow up, so what? They had only watched, but Lin Xiao was someone she had raised herself!

"Alright, stop making a scene!"

Ye Qingxian came to the rescue:
"Lin Xiao went to the Killing City, are you going too?"

A city of slaughter?
A look of bewilderment appeared in Ye Lingling's and Dugu Yan's eyes.

Ye Qingxian explained the horror of the Slaughter City to the two of them, and their expressions changed drastically. They looked at Lin Xiao with shame in their eyes.

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

"Little Lin Xiao, are you alright?"

Lin Xiao said with amusement:
"What danger could I possibly encounter if I speedrun through the Killing City in half a year? However, it is a bit of a pity that I originally intended to massacre the city, but in the end I only killed a little over two thousand Fallen Ones."

More than two thousand corrupted people were killed!
This time, not only were Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan speechless, but even Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes widened and her red lips parted in surprise.

"You killed over two thousand Fallen Ones?!"

Lin Xiao nodded solemnly.

He said this not to show off, but to remind those around him of his changes, so that when he reveals his decisive and ruthless side in the future, people will not feel unfamiliar with him, or even dare not get close to him.

Fortunately, I didn't see the unfamiliar and fearful looks I had anticipated.

Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes sparkled.

“Well done! Everyone in the City of Slaughter is utterly wicked, a bunch of cruel, lewd, and despicable beasts who are the envy of both gods and men! I had previously discussed with Poison Douluo about training your character by making you see blood, but it turns out that it was all for naught.”

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were dazzled and disoriented.

The image of Lin Xiao standing high in the sky, coldly glancing at the vicious villains below, and annihilating them with a wave of his hand, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

How handsome that would be!

Lin Xiao saw that no one regarded him as a bloodthirsty monster.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "If I could bring Sister Yanyan and Sister Lingling along, I certainly would. How could I not miss you all the time?"

Lin Xiao grew older.

His feelings for Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan grew stronger.

He realized that this had gone beyond the bond between siblings.

However, it seems like Sister Lingling and Sister Yanyan are more anxious than him.

The group chatted together until dinner.

……

After dinner, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan wanted to chat with Lin Xiao some more. They were both very curious about Lin Xiao's experiences over the past six months. The mysterious and terrifying Killing City was also very tempting to them.

But Lin Xiao was called away by Ye Qingxian.

In the quiet corridor.

Ye Qingxian's eyes held a complex expression as she spoke:

"Lin Xiao, what do you think of Lingling and Yanyan?"

Lin Xiao: ?
He was a little confused.

How else can we see it? We can see it with our eyes!

Ye Qingxian simply stated it plainly, saying quietly:

"Do you know that both of these silly girls like you?"

Lin Xiao blushed and nodded.

He could certainly sense the affection between them that went beyond friendship; to pretend he didn't know would be going too far.

Ye Qingxian's breath was as fragrant as orchids, and her voice was gentle.

"Aunt Ye has been through this before, and I want to hear your thoughts. What are your feelings for your sister Yan Yan and sister Ling Ling, and what about that little girl Shui Bing'er..."

"What haven't I seen? If you have any worries or difficulties that are hard to deal with, you can tell me."

"I can't make decisions for you, but I can offer advice, suggestions, and at the very least, comfort you, right?"

Lin Xiao had never thought about this matter.

On the one hand, he focused his mind primarily on cultivation; on the other hand, he also found it difficult to make a choice. He raised his head with considerable distress.

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

"I……"

Lin Xiao hesitated, as if he couldn't bring himself to speak.

How intelligent was Ye Qingxian?

She immediately saw the boy's dilemma, and with amusement, patted his head gently, saying:

"Aunt Ye, do you find it difficult to talk about, as if you can't give up any of them, so you dare not make a choice easily?"

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

Lin Xiao: "..."

Aunt Ye really knows things well.

indeed.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to protect every girl for the rest of his life.

Ye Qingxian said:
"It's the mind of a child that makes such choices; only children make these kinds of dilemmas. Adults don't have this kind of trouble."

"As long as they're willing and you're willing, it's a matter of mutual consent, what business is it of anyone else's?"

Ye Qingxian didn't mention the matter of having three wives and four concubines.

This is common knowledge on the mainland, nothing to talk about, just like people in feudal times wouldn't question the legitimacy of the emperor's existence.

In her view, Lin Xiao was young and impetuous, and valued friendship the most, which is why he hesitated and unconsciously chose to avoid her.

Lin Xiao's eyes widened.

If his understanding is correct.

Aunt Ye means... she wants them all?

Ye Qingxian scolded:

“You’re young, so you can wait, but Lingling and Yanyan are both grown women. You’re not in a hurry, but they are. Why don’t you ask them if they’re willing first, and then we can discuss it further if they’re not?”

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded.

Ye Qingxian spoke as if it were a matter of course; even he couldn't figure it out.

He asked tentatively.

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

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Aunt Ye, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for me to like more than one girl?"

"Does liking only one person necessarily mean genuine feelings?"

Ye Qingxian said earnestly:
"If you go against your conscience and say one thing but mean another, then you are hypocritical and foolish."

She patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.

"You're a man, so you should show some manly spirit. Girls won't like you if you're timid and hesitant."

"As for your childish shyness... there's no need for that. If you're weak and useless, not only can you not protect your woman, but you also have to rely on her to protect you. Then you should really die for still thinking about being affectionate."

"But you must remember, you deserve it."

Lin Xiao's expression was strange.

For some reason, he thought of Yu Xiaogang.

Isn't that exactly what happened to Yu Xiaogang? Not only could he not protect his woman, but he was also protected and cared for by her, and in the end, he was used by Qian Xunji as a bargaining chip to manipulate Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's tragic fate stemmed from Yu Xiaogang.

It's truly pathetic for a man to live like this.

Lin Xiao glanced gratefully at Ye Qingxian.

"Aunt Ye, I understand what you mean."

"But I want to know, do girls really not mind if their lover also likes someone else?"

Ye Qingxian scolded:

"Anyone would mind! It all depends on how much she likes you."

"However, there are exceptions. Sometimes, a sister might wish the other person had a harem..."

Lin Xiao: ? ? ?
"So, how does Aunt Ye feel about me?"

Ye Qingxian didn't answer, but tapped Lin Xiao's forehead, signaling him to go back.
