Chapter 108: Bai Yu Mo with a Suspicious Look
“Hmm… yeah.”
Su Lan Qian slowly opened her eyes, glanced down at her clothes, and then looked around the unfamiliar room with a dazed expression.
Immediately, her little face started turning red. She quickly reached up, trying to pull her clothes higher to cover her face.
But the faint aura lingering on her clothes made her cheeks burn even more.
‘Oops… I only meant to sleep for a bit, didn’t expect to oversleep…’
Her sleep quality was notoriously bad; even when covered by Bai Feng’s bedding, she’d wake up in the middle of the night often.
But this time, she’d slept so deeply that she’d avoided all her weird nightmares and actually slept straight until dawn.
“Senior Sister Su? Are you awake?”
Bai Feng noticed the sound she made upon awakening. He released the bird he’d been holding, turned around, and looked at Su Lan Qian, who had her face covered with a long robe.
What was she doing? Using her robe as a blanket holes-in-the-night lazy nap?
Su Lan Qian, hiding inside the long robe, suddenly shivered. She’d wanted to pretend to be asleep longer, but then she remembered—well, dawn had broken, and if she kept pretending, Bai Feng might get annoyed.
So she carefully peered out, revealing just a little eye, and whispered very softly: “I’m awake.”
“No worries, if you want more sleep, go ahead.” Bai Feng chuckled, waving his hand. “Sometimes I also like to laze around. There’s nothing better than waking up and realizing you can sleep just a little longer. And the bed’s really comfy, too.”
“Mm…”
Su Lan Qian hurriedly pulled her long robe higher to hide her face again.
He probably doesn’t know I secretly took the previous bedding, right?
Her mood fluttered with anxiety. Not only had she taken someone else’s bedding, but she’d also slept in it without clothing—kind of a freak move, huh?
If Bai Feng found out, she’d probably get branded a pervert and be avoided like the plague.
Wait—her head covered in Bai Feng’s robe, she suddenly felt she looked like a freak too!
Panicking, she hurriedly pulled her robe back, revealing a bright red little face.
“Huh? Not sleeping anymore? Or is the sunlight too blinding? Should I block out the windows?”
Bai Feng looked at her as she re-emerged with her head. Since she’d worked extra hard last night, he was naturally more concerned about this talented junior.
Facing his question, Su Lan Qian shook her head quickly: “No, I’ve already slept well. And today, we’re building a huge array.”
“Oh, right, I almost forgot.”
Bai Feng tapped his head. These past few days, he’d been obsessing over the portable array disk, totally forgetting their main goal this trip.
With all the preparations under way, it was finally time to start constructing the Xuan Guang City’s grand array.
“Good thing I finished modifying Senior Sister Gu’s array disk last night.” He took out the Golden Armor Array disk he’d fixed yesterday and handed it to Su Lan Qian. “Senior Sister Su, could you help me test it? I need to go grab something.”
Even though the modified Golden Armor Array disk had significantly increased capacity in theory, they still had to run a few tests to be safe.
Bai Feng hurriedly ran to his bedroom, grabbed a soft pillow, and came out.
Then he threw the pillow to Su Lan Qian: “Junior Sister Su, could you please hold the pillow and activate the array?”
“Ah, sure!” Su Lan Qian caught the pillow briskly.
Bai Feng reminded her: “Make sure to put it on your chest.”
“Got it.”
Su Lan Qian nodded repeatedly, holding the pillow to her chest with one hand, activating the array with the other.
A gentle golden light flashed, and a semi-transparent membrane appeared around her. The pillow was successfully wrapped inside.
“Nice, nice.”
Bai Feng examined carefully, convinced this time there wouldn’t be any mishaps.
Meanwhile, Su Lan Qian stared tightly at the pillow in her arms. The dense aura radiating from it made her swallow saliva involuntarily.
She really wanted to take it away—if she could sleep with it at night or even just hug it, that might be the ultimate way to suppress her Heart Demon.
“Thanks, Junior Sister Su,” Bai Feng said, closing the array disk and putting it away. “If you ever have trouble in the future, just come find me. I’ll help!”
“Mm…”
Su Lan Qian nodded, somewhat reluctant to put the pillow down.
When Bai Feng thanked her earlier, she had really wanted to say she wanted this pillow. But… that kind of comment was way too easy to interpret as perverted talk, and Bai Feng probably wouldn’t agree anyway.
“Oh, we left you some breakfast, Junior Sister. You should eat quickly,” Bai Feng pointed to the leftover meals on the table. “After we finish, we’ll deliver the array disk to Sister Gu, then go find the Master to see what tasks he’s arranged for us.”
“Mm.”
At that moment, Bai Yu Mo was washing dishes and suddenly noticed Su Lan Qian waking up.
Her face showed some suspicion, as if she sensed something wasn’t quite right.
Though she knew about Bai Feng suppressing her Heart Demon, from her reactions, it felt like there was more to it than just using Bai Feng’s item for that purpose.
Yep, she definitely didn’t like this person.
…
Bai Feng handed the array disk over to Gu Yue Qing, and this time, nothing unexpected happened; he received a generous reward.
But even with money in hand, he couldn’t indulge himself—postponing the remodeling of the auction house’s array formations was unavoidable now.
Most importantly, he needed to focus on building the grand array of Xuan Guang City.
This made him busy for days on end, either assembling arrays or being dragged by Liu Meng to observe and learn on-site.
“Senior Sister Su, please help me fill in the array runes here. I’m about to run out of energy. I need a break.”
“Ah? Okay, go rest, I’ll handle this part,” Su Lan Qian nodded promptly, stepping up to finish filling in the runes.
This part wasn’t too difficult. The hardest framework had already been taken care of by Bai Feng. The remaining work, she could definitely handle—provided Bai Feng didn’t wander too far away.
“Thanks.”
Bai Feng took out a folding chair from his storage pouch, laid down, and closed his eyes to rest.
Even with his divine strengthening method and the Yin-Yang Pattern blessing, at his Golden Core level, he was still feeling the toll. With Liu Meng’s additional mini array enhancements, it only got tougher.
Meanwhile, Liu Meng, busy working on the grand array, paused her work and cast a glance at Bai Feng, who was lying on the chair resting. She didn’t feel annoyed—more like impressed.
Along with Bai Feng helping build the array, she had a dual purpose: to teach him how to do it and to test his limits. She wanted to see just how far Bai Feng could go.
So she intentionally kept the difficulty level high. Thought he’d last only a day or two before giving up, but he surprisingly held up—until today, when he finally couldn’t take it anymore and took an early break.
If his cultivation base were higher, Liu Meng mused, Bai Feng might’ve even kept pace with her.
What a monstrous talent this was.
