Chapter 107: Chun’er Really Is Such a Good Girl!
“Big bro, I borrowed the kitchen from Sister Gu earlier and whipped up a few side dishes. Let’s eat together!”
Bai Yu Mo pushed open Bai Feng’s door without ceremony, only to spot Bai Feng sitting deep in thought at the table and Su Lan Qian lounging on the sofa, taking a nap.
“Huh?”
She froze—wait, why is Su Lan Qian sleeping in Bai Feng’s room? Didn’t she go home last night?
“Is it already morning?”
Bai Feng leaned back in his chair with a lazy stretch, then turned around and noticed Bai Yu Mo staring at Su Lan Qian on the sofa. That’s when it clicked—Su Lan Qian had worked late into the night and just crashed in his place. Luckily, the one who came in was Bai Yu Mo; if someone else showed up, explaining would be a headache.
“Senior Sister Su was helping me make the array disk last night. Maybe she was too exhausted and just fell asleep. It was already midnight, so I didn’t wake her,” Bai Feng explained.
“Really?”
Bai Yu Mo lowered her head slightly, not doubting Bai Feng’s words. From what she knew of him, he wouldn’t do anything shady.
But… she subtly placed her hand over her chest—why did she still feel a bit suffocated?
Humans’ greed truly knows no bounds. She initially thought that as long as she stayed by Bai Feng’s side, that would be enough.
But now—she wanted more attention, more care…
“Big bro, you’ve been busy all night, right? Rest for a bit, then let’s eat.”
She looked up, her smile returning.
“Alright, I’ll tidy up,” Bai Feng nodded, reaching for the nearly finished animation stone he’d worked on.
He’d spent half the night perfecting it, adding quite a few features.
For example, he added a projection function that could cast the inside scene onto the wall. He also enhanced it with picture viewing, video switching, progress bar dragging, and other goodies.
Since the animation stones are sold together with spring and autumn, he planned to start with videos and gradually add more functions and categories. But that was future planning—right now, as a promising product, he needed to lay a solid foundation first.
Bai Feng stored the array disk carefully, then took one last look at Su Lan Qian lying on the sofa: “Should I wake Sister Su too?”
“Big bro, you mentioned Sister Su was busy all night, right? Let her rest for now. We’ll save a portion of the meal for her,” Bai Yu Mo said, pulling out the steaming food from the wooden chest. The aroma instantly filled the house.
“Yeah.”
Bai Feng nodded, eagerly picking up chopsticks for a taste.
“Big brother, does it suit your taste?”
Bai Yu Mo pretended to be casual as she gently slid a chair next to Bai Feng and sat down. She tilted her head with a smile and asked.
“Hmm, very good. Your cooking is getting better and better,” Bai Feng nodded approvingly, giving her a thumbs-up. “Now I’m worried—what if I can’t eat such delicious food in the future?”
“No worries! If you like it, I’ll cook for you every day,” Bai Yu Mo said with a bright smile, clearly in a good mood from the compliment. “After all, we’re family!”
She emphasized the ‘family’ word a bit, as if to underline something or hide a secret.
“If you say that, I might just take you up on it,” Bai Feng joked. “Be careful—maybe I’ll make you cook for me every day!”
Bai Yu Mo didn’t reply, just subtly averted her gaze. Though she was joking, her heart unexpectedly beat faster.
Then, to hide her awkwardness, she scooped some dish onto Bai Feng’s bowl with her chopsticks. “Eat up now—let’s talk about later stuff later.”
…
“Turns out Chun’er’s parents were killed during a mercantile run attacked by Demon Path. They even stole the family fortune and forced her into an arranged marriage with some old guy. Tsk, not many good people in big families, huh? Luckily, Chun’er escaped. Too bad, she just escaped the tiger’s den only to stumble into a wolf’s trap, tricked onto a flower boat to perform arts.”
Li Ming had received a letter from Chun’er. He examined it carefully, reading each character with meticulous attention. His fists clenched subconsciously.
Especially recalling his own experience yesterday—how dare the daughter of the City Lord bend her knees before Heavenly Sword Sect disciples over a bit of profit? She even dressed up in their clothes and lied about nothing happening!
Compared to Chun’er, who dared to resist fate, these two were worlds apart!
Why could that sort become the City Lord while Chun’er ended up on a flower boat performing? That didn’t make sense!
He let out a breath, reading her gratitude for his help, her sharing last night’s fruits gifted by Mother Chen’s happy mood, and her last words urging him not to send overly expensive gifts. She cared more about his well-being than the fruit itself.
Hearing that, his heart warmed unexpectedly.
Chun’er really is such a good girl!
“Don’t worry, Chun’er! I’ll get you out of there,” Li Ming vowed, casting a deep glance toward the flower boat on the river.
It seemed Chun’er heard his inner call—suddenly, the window of the flower boat opened, and she peeked outside.
Her face wasn’t covered with translucent gauze. Under the lamplight, her face, innocent and beautiful as he imagined, appeared clearly.
She also noticed Li Ming—her face flushing with embarrassment—quickly closing the window with a hand.

Li Ming took a deep breath, feeling his heart pounding even faster.
But also, a tiny warmth blossomed inside him. Though it was just a small surprise, he might be the first person to see Chun’er’s true face?
‘Chun’er, wait for me!’
Li Ming clenched his fists, then turned and headed straight to the materials shop.
He really wanted to rescue Chun’er directly, but he also sensed that the force behind the flower boat was formidable—possibly connected to the City Lord.
With his current strength, he couldn’t fight such a giant yet, so he could only take it slow.
First, he’d secure the messages for the next few days!
…
‘Why is this Child of Destiny still hanging around in the west city?’
Could it be that after a blow, he started indulging in women? That Child of Destiny really has poor mental endurance!
Bai Feng looked at the icon on the mini-map, feeling something suspicious.
Is this Child of Destiny planning some scheme?
No way he could just sit idly!
‘Let’s go set a few eyes in the west city.’
Bai Feng took out a talisman, cutting off a strand of spiritual consciousness to hide inside.
But then he retracted the talisman and looked out the window at the flying birds.
This talisman was still too easy to expose—better to use another method!
He glanced at Bai Yu Mo washing dishes, then quietly moved to the window. His eyes flickered with black-and-white light—next moment, the birds outside landed next to the window.
