Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

“Your Excellency Saifeier, if you wish to go to the Cloud Stone Palace, you should take that path.”

“I’m not going to the Marble Palace.” Sai Fei’er smiled and waved her hand. “How many cats do you know who would like to soak in a hot spring?”

"You are not a cat."

Xia Die looked at Sai Fei'er, her expression subtly suggesting she was about to pull out her scythe.

"What do you intend to do?"

“I don’t have an address in Ohma City, so I’ll have to come with you and stay somewhere. Don’t worry, I’m not picky. Just leave me half a bed next to Yuanzi and I can stay.”

“I don’t believe that Lady Saifeier has nowhere to stay.” Xia Die stepped forward and made a gesture to drive Saifeier away.

Sai Fei'er looked at Bai Yuan.

"Yuanzi, remember how well I took care of you those two days? Please put in a good word for me."

As she spoke, she struck a pose with her buttocks up, chest out, and mouth slightly open, revealing her cute little tiger teeth. Combined with her beautiful figure, the allure was truly extraordinary.

Sure enough, after she struck that pose, Bai Yuan's face turned crimson.

Just when Sai Feier thought everything was settled, Bai Yuan still retreated behind Xia Die, lowered his head and complained to Sai Feier: "Sai Feier, you said you would share the joys and sorrows with me, but why don't you tell me where the suffering comes from first?"

I was perfectly fine lying in Ohma, but you insisted on dragging me out of the city and making me go through that adventure.

"Those things aren't important," Sai Fei'er waved her hand dismissively.

“Those are important, aren’t they!” Bai Yuan and Xia Die said in unison.

"In short, sir, we are not very welcoming to you." Xia Die pulled Bai Yuan's hand and walked quickly towards the Yunshi Market.

Watching their actions, Sai Feier crossed her arms and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the companions I chose. Even with such great temptation, they can remain calm. They are completely different from ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys."

As for not being able to seduce Bai Yuan? How could that be?

She had clearly seen Bai Yuan's adorable blush just now. Furthermore, as a thief, her eyes were incredibly sharp; she could see Bai Yuan's physical reactions even through the white robes.

A dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.

Such a challenging situation is the best time for her to make her move.

"Phantom Thief Sai Fei'er, today I'm not only going to steal things, but also hearts," Sai Fei'er muttered to herself.

"Even if I fail, it will only accelerate the relationship between Yuanzi and Xiadie. At that time, Xiadie will definitely not want to continue the journey of chasing fire..."

She felt herself getting angrier the more she talked, and involuntarily kicked the ground hard with her boot.

Just a few days ago, Sai Fei'er was thinking of taking Bai Yuan away, but now she seems to be getting angrier the more she talks about it.

"It's all that woman Aglaia's fault. She secretly plotted against me. And while I was still in a daze, she made me sign a contract that was practically a servitude agreement, so now I can't leave Ohmar. It's all her fault!"

She successfully shifted her anger onto Aglaia's side.

……

Xia Die pulled Bai Yuan toward their home.

Her lips curled up, and she was in a very good mood.

Bai Yuan did not hesitate at all; when faced with the choice between her and Sai Feier, he chose to stand by her side without any hesitation.

As she walked, she hummed a song from Ohma.

Upon seeing the two of them return, the people of Marble Market couldn't help but come over.

"Lord Xia Die, is Bai Yuan alright?"

"Don't worry, everyone, the Senate's inquiry didn't mention anything about what to do to Bai Yuan," Xia Die quickly said.

Bai Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, the senators in the Senate are quite easy to talk to. That guy is just a member of Senator Kainese's faction. We are now preparing to impeach Kainese as well, and will submit the case to the citizens of Ohma for a vote at the Citizens' Assembly."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely come to help you then." The people of Marble Market do have the right to attend the Citizens' Assembly. Given a choice between an arrogant elder and the adorable little boy who's always been by their side, they would absolutely choose the latter.

Not to mention that over the years, Xia Die of the Golden Descendant has helped everyone a great deal, and everyone has witnessed these things.

"Thank you everyone," Bai Yuan said quickly.

The emotions of heroes are intense and exciting, but the emotions they evoke with ordinary people are no less intense.

Just as he was expressing his gratitude, someone laughed and said, "Hey, Bai Yuan, no need to thank me. Just buy more things from our stalls in the future."

"Um... wait, Aunt Minnie, aren't you selling wedding supplies? I can't buy them, can I?" Bai Yuan nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong.

"It should be about time in a couple of years." The aunt waved her hand and looked at Xia Die, asking as if inquiring about Er Shan Lin Qi Shan, "You agree, Miss Xia Die?"

"These, these are Bai Yuan's things. How, how would I know..." Xia Die's tone began to stutter, and at the same time, her face turned shy.

Getting married and stuff...

Seeing the two of them blushing at the same time, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

They ate together, lived together, and shared a house for months. No one present believed they had no feelings for each other.

However, they never expected that Bai Yuan and Xia Die were so innocent.

Bai Yuan is young, so it's understandable. But Miss Xia Die, you're an adult. How can you still be so shy and innocent?

Several older women simultaneously revealed a mischievous smile.

"Oh, so you two aren't related. Well, in a couple of years, I think I should introduce a girlfriend to Xiao Chan Si Si Bai Yuan."

“I happen to have a niece who is about the same age as Bai Yuan. I’ll introduce them to each other in a couple of days.”

"Hey Bai Yuan, do you want to find a girlfriend? If you do, I'll send one to you!"

Bai Yuan and Xia Die knew they were teasing them on purpose, but their faces flushed as they listened to their words.

Even the tips of Xiaodie's ears turned red.

However, at this moment, he reached out and grasped Bai Yuan's hand.

Seeing everyone teasing her, Xia Die felt shy, but she still pulled him into her arms.

"Bai Yuan is mine."

She looked at everyone, her tone shy but unusually firm.

Chapter 55: Holding Hands with Xia Die [Second Update]

"That's more like it..."

Seeing Xia Die nod in agreement and hug Bai Yuan in her arms, the aunties and older women present all showed kind smiles.

Both of them were clueless about relationships. If no one around them gave them a push, they might not develop feelings for each other for a long time.

In this era where everyone's livelihood is uncertain, it's best to have love while you can. Otherwise, if problems arise later, it will be too late to express your feelings.

Many people in the marble market have had similar experiences. They always thought they had plenty of time to confess to their young crush, only to be left with regret in the end.

Faced with the teasing of the crowd, Xia Die's cheeks suddenly flushed red. She hurriedly lowered her trembling eyelashes, casting shy shadows on her porcelain-white skin. However, the strength in her embrace of Bai Yuan did not diminish at all; on the contrary, Bai Yuan felt the strength increasing.

Bai Yuan looked up and saw that Xia Die's lower lip, which she was biting, was trembling slightly between her drooping purple hair.

He was just looking at Xia Die, but the people next to him were also blushing and shy.

"Let's go, leave this place to the two of them."

"Yes, let's go do business instead."

Since they thought they had almost achieved their goal, the group decided not to linger any longer. They left the two of them to handle their own affairs.

Some people were slightly puzzled: "But isn't Xiao Baiyuan a bit too young? He's not even as tall as Miss Xia Die yet."

The others patted him on the shoulder.

"Then let's wait a little longer. As a member of the Golden Clan, Miss Xia Die's lifespan is far longer than ours. This age difference is not a problem at all."

"Although Xiaobai Yuan is young, he's mature enough to live alone. Besides, this is just them confirming their relationship, it's not like they're doing anything else. Miss Xia Die, surely she wouldn't..."

The man's tone became uncertain towards the end.

……

Bai Yuan and Xia Die had no idea that the matter was too inappropriate for children.

Faced with Xia Die's words, which were almost a confession, the two of them were completely blank in their minds, and had no idea what she was thinking.

Xia Die has never had any contact with others during this long period of time, and her romantic experience is zero. All she has ever seen about love is in novels.

Bai Yuan does have experience conquering dozens of people, but that's limited to visual novels. Before his transmigration, although he was just as handsome as he is now, and even more attractive as an adult, he spent most of his time either as a monk or in his school dormitory, making him practically the elder of the goblins. No female knight could possibly storm into their lair and capture him.

So when faced with such a hasty confession in real life, both Bai Yuan and Xia Die's brains were in a state of malfunction. Bai Yuan could operate both his main body and his clone without any problems, but when it came to dealing with this emotional issue, he didn't know what to say.

When Bai Yuan came to his senses, he found himself back in his own home. He sat opposite Xia Die, their eyes meeting.

Did Xia Die bring me back?

Bai Yuan had thought so, but looking at Xia Die's eyes, which were gradually clearing up from confusion, Bai Yuan felt that her state was similar to his own.

"Bai Yuan..."

Xia Die looked at Bai Yuan and spoke softly.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the tips of her ears turned crimson.

How could I have said such a thing? Why did I impulsively step forward, hug Bai Yuan tightly, and announce to everyone that he was mine when everyone was saying those things?

This was a feeling Xia Die had never experienced before—an impulse to keep him by her side forever.

Where does this impulse come from?

Is it that only Bai Yuan in the entire Onpharos has access to his uniqueness?

It was Bai Yuan's beautiful appearance, which seemed like that of a legendary elf.

It was his gentle attitude towards others and his seriousness in training himself.

Based on the past few months of living together,

Or perhaps, it was the sense of loss that Sai Fei'er felt after taking Bai Yuan away.

All of the above left Xia Die with only one sentence in her mind.

"Bai Yuan, what I said outside just now was serious."

Xia Die could never bring herself to say anything about being together or being boyfriend and girlfriend. But now that she was saying it, she felt she had given it her all.

Even if she were to fight the Titan of Strife alone, she wouldn't feel it was this strenuous.

After saying that, she reached out to grab Bai Yuan's hand. But she paused just before touching him.

She doesn't yet know Baek Won's reaction.

What kind of attitude will Bai Yuan have?

He's still young, with a shy, childlike air about him. Will he like my confession? Will he accept it?

Perhaps he will panic and refuse?

If that were the case, even if she liked him a lot, Xia Die would never touch Bai Yuan again.

She won't do things that people don't like.

Xia Die stopped and waited for Bai Yuan's reaction.

Bai Yuan's hands were trembling violently.

Seeing that no one touched her, Xia Die's heart sank. But when she looked up, she saw that Bai Yuan's face was covered in sweat. The sweat was flowing down his hot cheeks and even producing steam.

"Bai Yuan?"

she asked softly.

"Sister Xiadie, why don't you put it down? I... I can't lift my arm..."

Bai Yuan spoke in a soft voice.

Bai Yuan was initially surprised by Xia Die's confession and didn't know how to respond.

Rejection? He would never even consider such a thing. Xia Die had been so good to him, and he genuinely liked her too.

Bai Yuan wouldn't even consider refusing.

When he saw Xia Die's hand reach out, he felt an urge to hold it tightly. But just before they made contact, he felt a pressure.

People with no dating experience feel a tremendous obstacle at this moment.

My hands were about to touch, but I just couldn't lift them up.
