Tang Xiao sighed as he paid attention to Xing Xing, who was chatting with Chu Lingxi and Grandpa Chen in the repair shop. "She really interests , but I’m not sure if she will be able to adapt to life as a cultivator. The world of cultivation is much harsher than the world of ordinary people, and I’m afraid that she won’t be able to face those harsh things."
"Hehe, why do you keep thinking like that, Master?" Hun suddenly ca out of the Sun Stone and sat down beside Tang Xiao. "The world of cultivation is indeed harsh, but you have many advantages that other cultivators don’t have, so you don’t need to think too hard about it. Moreover, that little girl seed to be a smart girl, and she could probably understand many things about cultivating faster than other people."
Tang Xiao felt that her words were true, but he still had doubts that Xing Xing would be able to do it. "Have you ever fallen in love, Hun?"
"No." Hun replied by shaking her head. "I am a queen, and I have to think more about my people, so I don’t have ti to think about such a thing. Unfortunately, my planet and people are gone, and I have no one now."
Upon hearing that, Tang Xiao tried to embrace Hun, and he was surprised that he could touch her soul. "I thought only you could touch , but it turns out I can touch you too."
"Master, we are cultivators, so our souls are different from ordinary humans." Hun then pointed to the Sun Stone on Tang Xiao’s forehead. "Moreover, my soul is bound to that stone and Atropos Glory, and both of them are bound to you, which ans my soul is also bound to you."
"Hmm?" Tang Xiao frowned after hearing that. "Does that an both of them will be separated from after you reshape your body in the future?"
"No." Hun shook in response. "On the contrary, we will be bound to you forever. We will be your strength, and you can ask if you need my help."
Tang Xiao let out a sigh of relief because the sun stone could boost his fire elent, and the Atropos Glory was an extraordinary weapon, so he didn’t want to lose either one. "Does that an you can fight my enemies in your current state?"
"Yes." Hun then told Tang Xiao about the disadvantages of her situation. "I’m in my weakest state right now, and my strength decreased considerably after I destroyed my body, so I can only help you fight cultivators who are on par with my current strength. If I fight cultivators stronger than , then they can destroy my soul, and I will disappear forever."
"I see." Tang Xiao then rubbed Hun’s head. "Even though your realm and your people are gone, you have and the others, and we will be your new family."
"Thank you, Master." Hun returned to the Sun Stone before speaking in Tang Xiao’s mind. [Master, you should go see that girl now, and you can teach her cultivation. This way, you will get a partner to help you improve your cultivation.]
Tang Xiao shook his head and looked towards Grandpa Chen’s repair shop again, and he saw Xing Xing and Chu Lingxi leaving the place, but they were going in different directions.
Tang Xiao could hear that Chu Lingxi wanted to go back to their house, and Xing Xing wanted to go sowhere else to buy sothing. He jumped down from the building and followed her.
For so ti, Tang Xiao followed Xing Xing to find out so things about her, but he was still hesitant about eting her. After all, they were in a public place, and he was worried that his enemies would notice him, which would put him in danger if they saw them together.
Tang Xiao exhaled softly, used his transformation technique to change his clothes, and then approached Xing Xing, who was window shopping, gently bumping into her. "I’m sorry, I was daydreaming, so I accidentally bumped into you."
"Eh?" Xing Xing was montarily surprised before smiling at Tang Xiao. "It’s okay; I was also seriously paying attention to that item, but I didn’t expect to et you here."
"I didn’t expect we would et again so soon." Tang Xiao replied as he smiled.
"My na is Xing Xing, and I already have your number; however, I forgot to ask for your na, so I am hesitant to contact you." Xing Xing then stretched out her hand to Tang Xiao. "So, what’s your na?"
"Feng Xiao." Tang Xiao replied while shaking her hand, but he was confused to see Xing Xing’s expression. "What happened to you? Why do you react like this after hearing my na?"
"Nothing." Xing Xing withdrew her hand. "Honestly, I had a friend called Tang Xiao, but he passed away a few days ago. Your na was Feng Xiao, and it reminds of him."
"Do you like that guy?" Tang Xiao, with a deadpan expression, asked her.
"I do like Tang Xiao." Xing Xing had no intention of hiding it. "Actually, our relationship wasn’t that close back then because he liked soone else, and I was also busy with my studies."
Tang Xiao inwardly sighed and asked her again. "I rember you approaching that day because you felt like you had t before. Does that an you felt that I had a resemblance to him?"
"That’s right." Xing Xing then asked back. "Are you busy now? Shall we talk sowhere else?"
"I’m not busy right now, but I have to pick up so people in the next few hours." Tang Xiao then looked around to find a suitable place to talk to Xing Xing, but the area was too crowded. "How about we talk sowhere else while eating? I know a quiet and comfy place to talk, and you might like that place because their foods are delicious."
"Alright, show the place."
’Sigh, I think I should buy my own car.’ Tang Xiao inwardly muttered before leading Xing Xing away. "Let’s go then; I parked my car not far from this place."
Xing Xing was not surprised to hear that because they first t at a luxury jewelry store, so she guessed that Tang Xiao was a rich man. Even so, she had no interest in his other identity, and she was only curious about him because of her familiar feelings toward him.
When they arrived at the side of the car, Tang Xiao imdiately opened the passenger door for her. "Co in; I’ll take you straight to that place."
"En." Xing Xing nodded smilingly and entered the car, but her eyes never left Tang Xiao, and he himself imdiately got into the driver’s seat before driving away.

Soti later, they arrived in front of an old restaurant, and there were almost no custors there, but Xing Xing looked at the place with raised eyebrows. ’Why did Feng Xiao bring here? This place is not far from my middle school, and I rember for sure that Tang Xiao often ate here in the past, especially their spicy chow in and mapo tofu.’
Tang Xiao imdiately got out of the car and opened the door for Xing Xing. "Do you dislike eating in old restaurants like this?"
"No." Xing Xing answered as she got out of the car. "I often ate at this place in the past, and Tang Xiao also liked their food."
’Crap! I didn’t expect that she knew more about than I thought!’ After he closed the car door, Tang Xiao led Xing Xing into the restaurant and took her directly to an empty seat. "What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm? I just want to eat congee and hot jasmine tea."
Tang Xiao called a waiter over and ordered both for Xing Xing, but his subsequent words shocked her. "As for , I want spicy chow in and mapo tofu, and I also want chrysanthemum tea."
"Is that all?"
"Yes." After the waiter left, Tang Xiao turned to Xing Xing, who was looking at him seriously. "Why are you looking at like this? Is there sothing strange on my face?"
Xing Xing responded by shaking her head. "Who exactly are you, Feng Xiao?"
"Why is that?" Tang Xiao asked in confusion.
"Tang Xiao liked eating at this restaurant in the past, and his favorite nu was spicy chow in and mapo tofu." Xing Xing’s answer made Tang Xiao sigh again. "He also likes chrysanthemum tea, and everything makes feel that I’m looking at him now. However, the faces of the two of you are obviously different, so I feel confused by this."
Tang Xiao was completely speechless after hearing that, and he thought that Xing Xing was an experienced stalker; she could even know such details about him. "It seems you like him so much, huh? You even know so many things about him, including his favorite foods and drinks."
"Haha! You must think that I’m his stalker, right?" Xing Xing asked Tang Xiao with an awkward laugh. "As I told you before, I fell in love with him, but I didn’t have the courage to confess my feelings to him. I always watched him from afar, and I did all that to get to know him better."
"Why don’t you dare to confess your feelings to him? What exactly made you fall in love with him?" Tang Xiao curiously asked.
