With Xing Xing

"Sure." Tang Xiao immediately agreed to Xing Xing's request and paddled the dragon boat back to shore. "Anyway, I want to buy some things first before we go to see your mother, so we'll go to the shopping center first, and we'll go to your house after."

"What do you want to buy?"

"You'll find out later."

"Humph!"

When they arrived at the shore, Tang Xiao immediately took Xing Xing to leave the amusement park, and they went straight to the shopping center.

The two women had arrived at the bottom of the ravine and checked the entire area carefully, and Sun Xiang immediately squatted down after she found traces of dried blood in that place. As she checked it, she looked up to the top of the ravine to make sure that she was in the right spot where Tang Xiao fell.

"Do you think Tang Yuan has already retrieved Tang Xiao's body from this place?" Xiao Meng asked as she squatted beside her best friend.

"No." Sun Xiang answered by shaking her head. "We checked the CCTV in Du Zhong's room before he died, and Tang Yuan looked panicked and angry after he told her that Tang Xiao had fallen into this ravine. Moreover, we both knew that she had been looking for her nephew's body for several days after that, and Chief Jiang also helped her, but they couldn't find him."

"Yeah, you're right about that." Suddenly, Xiao Meng remembered something and told Sun Xiang. "However, Tang Yuan suddenly calmed down and stopped her search, so I think there are two possibilities. First, she managed to find his corpse and bury it without anyone else knowing. Second, Tang Xiao might still be alive according to your expectations."

"I'm absolutely sure that Tang Xiao is still alive now." Sun Xiang then stood up and looked at the area around them.

"However, these traces of dried blood are quite a lot, Xiang." Xiao Meng said as she rubbed the ground. "Moreover, Tang Xiao was not a cultivator when the incident happened, so I doubt that he could survive, and he might die instantly after he fell from such a height."

"You may not be able to sense it, but I can sense the remnants of a powerful cultivator's aura in this place, and he or she might have saved him right after he fell here." Xiao Meng turned to her best friend with a raised eyebrow, but she wasn't too surprised by that, especially since she knew that Sun Xiang did have the ability to trace the remnants of qi and the aura of other cultivators. "Judging from the residual aura in this place, I believe that person was stronger than Long Yin, and he or she saved Tang Xiao right before he died, so no one managed to find his body."

"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Meng asked in a high voice as he stood up. "We both know that Long Yin is the strongest cultivator on Earth II, and there are no cultivators who can surpass him to this day, including our grandfathers. Although Wang Fuxi is very strong, she hasn't reached his level yet, and she still needs a long time to achieve it."

Sun Xiang certainly knew about it, but she still believed that the person who saved Tang Xiao was stronger than Long Yin. Even so, she couldn't recognize the person's identity, even though she knew almost all the strong cultivators on Earth II, and the old Tang Xiao was not a cultivator from their era either. 'Who exactly was the person who saved him? Moreover, the remnants of that person's aura are not as scary as that guy, and his or her aura is much more calming and comforting to me.'

Seeing Sun Xiang deep in thought, Xiao Meng immediately asked her again. "So what are we going to do now? Are we going to search the whole city to look for Tang Xiao? If he is really alive now, then he must be hiding somewhere in this city, and he might be the mastermind behind all those incidents."

"Hmm?" Sun Xiang thought for some time before telling Xiao Meng. "If Tang Xiao is really the mastermind behind those incidents, then the residual Qi that I felt in Du Zhong's office is his. However, this city is too big, and the population is too numerous, so I can't possibly track him down. That's why I thought it would be better if we split the duties; I will monitor Tang Yuan, and you go to Tang House to monitor Tang Yin, so we can find him more easily because he will definitely come to them."

"All right, we can do that." Xiao Meng then floated to the top of the ravine. "Let's go back, so we can immediately carry out your plan, and I will go to Tang House to monitor Tang Yin."

Sun Xiang once again looked around the bottom of the ravine and let out a heavy sigh, and she immediately followed Xiao Meng to leave the place.

Meanwhile, the two people were already at the biggest shopping center in the city, but Xing Xing was confused after Tang Xiao, who had returned to Feng Xiao's form, took her to a clothing store, and it was a clothing store specialized in selling clothes from famous brands, which were too expensive for her.

However, Xing Xing was even more confused when Tang Xiao chose several types of clothes for her, especially since he could tell her body size clearly.

"What's the matter? Why is your expression like that?" Tang Xiao asked as he handed some clothes to her.

Xing Xing shook her head and curiously asked him. "How do you know all my body sizes? You even know my underwear size."

"Haha." Tang Xiao responded to her question with a soft laugh. "Did you forget that Xiao Ai helped you strengthen your body before? She stored data about you in her database, and her database is linked to my brain, so I can search it easily."

"Then how do you know the types of clothes and colors I like?"

"Surely 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 were much different from seven years ago, and I decided to check a lot of things about you, so I knew various things about you."

"You cheated, you know?" Xing Xing complained while shaking her head helplessly. "I know a lot of things about you because I've been following your daily life for several years, but you can so easily find out a lot of things about me with the help of Xiao Ai."

"You don't need to be jealous, right?" Tang Xiao said as he 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 not 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!"

"Haha." Tang Xiao laughed at Xing Xing's behavior, but he immediately 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."

"All right."

However, Xing Xing suddenly felt embarrassed to take off her clothes, especially since 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.'

Quickly, Xing Xing 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 that? Are you imagining something lewd about me?" 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 and closed her eyes directly, and she put her arms around his neck while kissing him back. However, 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.

Even so, Tang Xiao didn't do anything else to Xing Xing, especially since they were in a public place, and he separated their lips after they kissed for a while. "You are really 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 feel insecure about my skin, especially since 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 then 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 he tried everything, Tang Xiao took Xing Xing out of the dressing room, and he asked her to choose some suitable clothes for Chu Lingxi, especially since she was her future mother-in-law, so he also wanted to buy some for her.

Afterward, Tang Xiao took her to go see a car show in another area, especially since he couldn't possibly use Yi An's car continuously, so he chose to buy his own car, and he chose an SUV. However, he didn't use his name to buy it, and he used Xing Xing's name instead.

After everything was settled, Tang Xiao and Xing Xing walked away from the shopping center area. However, 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, Feng Xiao, right? 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 his celestial bloodline when he forced her to swallow the pill last night. "I heard from my mother's personal assistant that Feng Xiao is married, and I've tried checking his background, but I couldn't find out the identity of his wife, so that poor girl is probably his wife."

"Since when did your mother employ such a handsome chauffeur, Qing?" Lin Yan asked Ouyang Qing.

"Since a few days ago." Quyang Qing then turned to them. "Forget him, and we'll go have fun now."

Lin Yan and Luo Qinlin immediately followed Ouyang Qing, but they didn't notice the strange smile on the face of another woman walking behind them, and she was Jessica's clone. 'You guys can have fun now, but sooner or later, you three will end up like the real me, or maybe worse.'
