I'll even show you crossdressing men.

Ji Xiuyu's appearance made some people in the powerful faction who had been the strongest for several years feel that he was an obstacle and wanted to get rid of him before he turned sixteen.

However, even though they had this plan and started implementing it, they never expected that someone they absolutely could not afford to offend would come to their tower master to speak with him.

"Someone wants Xiuyu to make a move? How foolish. It seems they really think they can control this place if we don't intervene." Wuyin wasn't surprised. The development of the Mage Tower had stabilized, and they didn't need to get involved in many things.

Therefore, it's normal that power is gradually being undermined and some strange things happen.

"Leaving aside the fact that someone attacked Xiuyu, there's another matter that needs to be clarified." To their surprise, Chu Ying brought up this topic, but she didn't seem worried at all, instead shifting to a more serious issue...

Chapter 252: Making Even Demons Submit

Although the academy competition is still some time away, Ji Xiuyu and his group have already started taking action.

This competition involves the Mage Tower, and the Mage Tower seems to want to do something shady to Ji Xiuyu, so many problems need to be solved and some troubles need to be dealt with.

"Lina, come with me to the academy competition this time." In a coffee shop in a corner of the city, Ji Xiuyu and Lina sat facing each other and talked about the upcoming competition.

A few days ago, Zi Qing went to Sun Tianyi's house on his behalf to ask him to help find the evil spirit. After receiving a satisfactory reward, Sun Tianyi kept his word and quickly took action.

It has to be said that he is indeed a person who can privately tame demons as pets and "playmates". Even this kind of new variant demon is not a problem for him. He found them all very quickly.

The demons, realizing they had been exposed, either tried to escape or rebel.

But for some reason, every time they were caught, Sun Tianyi would tell his men to leave and not disturb him while he was doing his business.

After more than an hour of being alone with the demon, when he opened the door again, he could see the male human possessed by the demon lying obediently in Sun Tianyi's arms, looking at him shyly.

After experiencing things they didn't know, these demons seemed to become unusually cooperative, obeying any request they made.

Even if you try to disable their ability to cause damage, they don't resist.

The only requirement is to get out alive and then be with Sun Tianyi.

This burly, tall, and seemingly reliable young man truly frightened everyone who knew about it this time.

My God, even those humans possessed by demons, those stronger than him, have submitted to him.

What exactly did this guy do to them? Why did the originally ferocious demon become like a woman after that unknown experience of more than an hour?

Are these evil spirits really that easy to deal with, or is this boy named Sun Tianyi just too terrifying?

No one dared to think about what happened during that hour or so; they were afraid that what they thought might be true, and then they would have nightmares.

Regardless of the reason, Sun Tianyi is now on the blacklist of everyone who knows about this.

The same applies to Ji Xiuyu's family; all the maids, including Ziqing, Baiyu, Tina, and Yaolian, raised Sun Tianyi's danger level from the highest to the first.

Even if we let the Demon King get close to the young master, we absolutely cannot let this man get close to him, otherwise something they will definitely regret will happen.

They didn't think so; rather, various events showed that this was the safest way.

But even if his danger has been mitigated, what the boy did was indeed a good thing.

At least the danger alert for Arest City has been lifted, and no more demons will appear to harm them.

Moreover, since Sun Tianyi was a student of the Heavenly Academy, in the eyes of those who were unaware of the situation, it was the Heavenly Academy that sent Sun Tianyi to resolve this problem, so naturally the credit was attributed to the Heavenly Academy.

Sun Tianyi had no interest in this, and Ziqing and the others also wanted to keep a low profile, so the Heavenly Courtyard gladly accepted this generous gift.

It must be said that having such a strong group of students is an honor for the college.

With the threat of evil spirits gone, the once deserted streets became lively again. After a few days of his dancing frenzy and dealing with a lot of trouble, Ji Xiuyu finally managed to invite her out.

Of course, in order to avoid being recognized, Ji Xiuyu still dressed in men's clothing and wore a long robe when she went out.

Even his chest, which had been transformed, flattened out, making him look like a man instead of leaving people wondering whether he was male or female.

The effect of this change was astonishing; it made several girls who had never seen him in formal men's clothing swoon. It turned out that the stunningly beautiful Xiu Yu could still be so "beautiful" even when dressed as a man.

It was precisely this change that made it so that few people recognized Ji Xiuyu when he went out; his disguise skills were practically maxed out.

His decision to dress as a man to go on a date with Lina had a deeper purpose. The disguise was secondary; his real intention was probably to let Lina know that he was indeed a man.

Although she may have accepted it long ago.

But this girl was, after all, the first person he had a relationship with. Even if she was a woman, he couldn't deny that she was his first woman.

Human possessiveness is a strange thing. After Ji Xiuyu's personality started to get back on track, he developed a peculiar feeling towards Lina.

He wanted her, but he was too shy and didn't know how to bring it up, so he tried to present his best self to him.

"Xiuyu, do you want me to go to the Mage Tower with Qingyun and Xuexin for further studies?" Only a few people knew what Ji Xiuyu was doing in the Mage Tower, and Lina was unaware of it.

In her eyes, even with her family's status, the Mage Tower was still an untouchable existence.

If she could study there, not only would her family be more forgiving of her, but she would also be able to catch up with Xiuyu, right?

She wanted it, but she had reservations. Her own strength was too weak; at fifteen, she was only at the third rank. Compared to those geniuses who reached that level at ten or eleven, she was simply incomparable.

People her age are either heroes or seventh-tier cultivators. Sending someone of her strength to study in the mage tower would be met with disapproval, not to mention what others would say, even her own academy wouldn't agree.

Moreover, even if they manage to get first place and there are three spots available, the Mage Tower would never allow someone of her strength to enter.

Seeing the somber look on her face after she said those words, Ji Xiuyu knew what had happened.

A slight pang of pain shot through him. He reached out and took her small hand. As she blushed but didn't resist, silently enjoying the sight, he whispered, "I'll ensure your strength reaches the seventh rank smoothly before we go to the mage tower, without any side effects. That way, I doubt anyone will say anything, right?"

His sudden tenderness and promise made Lina's heart skip a beat. Hadn't he rejected her confession before, and so many things had happened since then?

She had always thought that her relationship with him would probably end there, and that they would eventually become strangers again. She never expected that he would do this now.

"Xiuyu, why... why are you doing this to me?" Tears slowly welled up in the girl's eyes as she looked at him, wanting to know the answer.

Chapter 253: It's White Album Season Again

"Hmm, do you remember what happened between us before?" Ji Xiuyu saw her expression and knew that if he didn't give her an answer, she might not accept his kindness.

For this girl, the most important thing now is to let her know how she feels.

He knew that the things he had said to Lina after she confessed her feelings to him before they were taken to the capital of the kingdom had hurt her deeply.

Even so, after encountering danger herself, the girl disregarded her own safety and went with Ziqing and the others to rescue him.

Although I wasn't of much help and even held them back, the sentiment behind it is what matters most.

Perhaps Ziqing and the others knew this, which is why they let Lina come along.

Regardless of the reason, the girl's loyalty and sincerity towards him are beyond doubt.

He wasn't sure if he liked her now, but he knew he didn't want to see her continue to be so gloomy, and he didn't want to see the girl all alone after losing Ishikawa Yuya.

"Our business?" Her already flushed face turned completely red.

Ah, how could Xiuyu say such things? It's so embarrassing!

The first time she had sex, it was in a woman's body, and it was only after she had been poisoned with aphrodisiacs that she was like this.

Even though it was something that came about after many factors, she and he did indeed have the kind of relationship that only the closest people can have.

Regardless of whether she is in a female body or not, this cannot change the fact that Ji Xiuyu is her first man and will be her only one.

So many things happened after that, each one like a scene from a private book, how could she not care?

She thought that after her confession failed, Xiuyu would keep those memories in his heart and make them something that they would never mention. She never expected that he would ask her so suddenly at this time.

"I...I..." After looking around for a while and finding that no one in the empty coffee shop had noticed them, she felt relieved.

Looking at Ji Xiuyu, even though she was very shy, she still nodded and told him that she still remembered this matter.

"I remember, those things, I thought..." Before she could finish speaking, Ji Xiuyu squeezed her small hand tightly, as if to stop her from continuing.

"How could I forget those memories? They were so beautiful." He didn't understand what those feelings were at first, until his experience in another world, the explosive spread of knowledge on the internet, and his sister's constant attempts to entice him to do these things, he finally understood what they were.

This was a peculiar experience, and one he would never forget. He may have overlooked it for various reasons before, but now he will remember it deeply.

"Is it wonderful..." Biting her lower lip, Lina's heart began to pound, a pounding more intense than the first time she saw Ishikawa Yuya and became his girlfriend.

The feeling of being in love? Or... love?

She wanted to believe this was a relationship, and even more so, she wanted it to be love.

"Yes, it was wonderful. That was the first time I had that kind of relationship with someone." Ji Xiuyu seemed shameless, talking about such things in this place.

He was shameless, but Lina was incredibly embarrassed and instinctively reached out to cover his lips, preventing him from continuing.

"Those... let's not talk about them, it's too embarrassing." She leaned forward slightly, getting closer to his face, looking into his eyes. Her heart was pounding, and she suppressed the urge to kiss him, saying this.

Blinking her long-lashed eyes, Ji Xiuyu nodded and agreed to the matter.

"Alright, let's get down to business." To avoid further embarrassment, the girl chose to avoid the situation and became serious, wanting Hime Hideyu to get to the point.

“A lot happened back then, and I was in a delicate situation myself, as you probably know.” Lina might not have known this before, but through conversations with several maids, she had learned quite a bit about it.

While I felt sorry for him, I also understood that I shouldn't blame him at that time.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Didn't I also meet Yuya Ishikawa and become his girlfriend?

Mistakes are okay, just correct them... just like sexual orientation is okay too.

Yes, it doesn't matter. Whether Ji Xiuyu likes men or he is a real woman, she loves him and that won't change.

This is her decision, and it's what she's determined to do now, something she needs to accomplish.

"Those things, actually, there's not much to say. I just want to tell you... Lina..." She recalled what Ziqing had told her about how to talk to Lina and what to do at this time.

As if he had suddenly understood, he took her small hand in his, their fingers intertwined, and stared at her face, which was now filled with both anticipation and timidity. He whispered, "Let's start over from the time you confessed to me, okay? Let me tell you my answer again, okay?"

The tears she had just been holding back flowed uncontrollably as she bit her lower lip so hard it seemed to bleed.

She nodded, looking at him expectantly for his answer.

"Lina, I like you, let's date... if you don't mind that there are so many people around me..." His answer made her want to laugh through her tears.

She might mind things about Ishikawa Yuya, but she really couldn't mind things about Hime Hideyu.

Because Ishikawa Yu was also entering her life, everything had to be done in accordance with her. But she was entering Hime Hideomi's life, and if she wanted to enter, she had to accept these things.

It's not that she can't accept it, it's just that the Ishikawa Yuya of the past wasn't worthy of her acceptance.

"If you don't mind that I've dated before, I'm willing." The answer was heavy; tears streamed down the girl's face, yet a smile remained.

"No, I don't mind." Dating doesn't mean having sex. She was just in love with Ishikawa Yuya. It's all in the past now, so what's there to worry about?

"Thank you, Xiuyu... I... I..." The girl cried, her words incoherent in her joy.
