Villain Too Many Children of Destiny, I Choose to Lie Flat – Chapter 126

Chapter 126: The Trembling Immortal Bone

After being forcibly stuffed with Luck Points by the System, Bai Feng’s mood plummeted faster than a falling star.

He sneaked a glance at Zuo Qiu, who looked so flushed she was about to break her own limits, and he sighed, feeling more tired than after a long trek. “Fine, I’ll accept the rope. You better go back and get some rest.”

“Hmm… Goodbye, Master.”

Zuo Qiu’s heart finally relaxed—glad she managed to escape with this little favor. She barely dared lift her head and, after bidding farewell, hurried off like a thief in the night.

Bai Feng returned to his room and began pondering Zuo Qiu’s situation with a heavy heart.

He guessed that, given her circumstances, she was clinging desperately to the only straw she could hold—her own life.

Her situation was indeed dire—she’d had contact with the Black Lotus, and even threw a punch at a talented disciple from another sect. Especially since the Refining God Sect was a “survival of the fittest” kind of place, her odds after returning home wouldn’t be great.

So, her goal was obvious.

She definitely wanted to leave the Refining God Sect—no, strike that, she wanted to join the Heavenly Sword Sect, or even the Bai Family!

Gotta admit, this “Child of Destiny” did have some guts—willing to toss away her identity as a sect disciple and become a servant of the Bai Family.

‘If I don’t handle this, she probably won’t give up so easily.’

Bai Feng tapped his fingers thoughtfully on the table. But honestly, he didn’t have a perfect solution right now.

No, wait, mistake—his goal was wrong. What he really needed to do wasn’t to chase Zuo Qiu away but to keep her *away* from him—to prevent her from doing strange things and letting the system slip in with more Luck Points.

Once the Child of Destiny got stronger, they’d likely develop some mutiny ideas—they wouldn’t want to be beneath him forever, and sooner or later, they’d run. His real plan was to survive this period and then use her to deal with Black Lotus, then set her free.

‘So, I should find an opportunity to send Zuo Qiu out on a toughening-up mission.’

Soon, Bai Feng had an idea.

Performing a full act was necessary. To keep Zuo Qiu—the so-called Child of Luck—thinking he was a straightforward guy, he planned to craft her a portable array. Lucky for him, the system had rewarded him with some decent forging skills, so he’d make her a set of spiritual tools, then pick a distant place for her to train outside constantly.

But all that had to wait until he got back home—she was still under some “restricted mobility” now.

“Looks like I’ve got no other business today…” Bai Feng stretched lazily and activated the system to start training with the Body Refining Technique it awarded him.

He was pretty curious about this divine technique—another kind of Immortal Method—wondering what surprises it might hold.

By the way, he’d been meaning to complain: the names of these Immortal Methods sounded so plain. Is this what they call the Road to Simplicity?

“Brother, you eat properly…”

In the evening, Bai Yu Mo pushed open the door, but she lowered her voice immediately.

She watched Bai Feng seated in meditation, walking around him carefully, avoiding disturbing him. When she saw the empty bowls on the table, her smile widened.

Before she could gather them for cleaning, a sudden tremor from within her Celestial Bone made her pause.

“What’s going on?”

Bai Yu Mo frowned slightly, glancing around, until her eyes landed on Bai Feng. The Celestial Bone inside her trembled again.

“Big Brother?”

She put down her empty bowl, tiptoed closer.

As she moved nearer, her internal Celestial Bone kept trembling, as if something was pulling at it from the front.

She instinctively reached out, then suddenly snapped back with a start.

But her body couldn’t resist and inched a bit closer to Bai Feng.

She sat beside him, and this time, her Celestial Bone grew quiet once more. Yet she could still feel it active—a lively movement, as if craving something.

She looked at Bai Feng with a confused expression. She’d never experienced anything like this before.

Gradually, night fell outside, and even the lamps in the city lord’s mansion were extinguished.

Finally, Bai Feng opened his eyes, exhaling a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding. After cultivating, he felt invigorated—his whole body was filled with strength.

He hadn’t tested it, but he could sense a significant increase in his physical power. Beyond that, his defenses and endurance had improved quite a bit.

And this was just the basic cultivation—if he paired it with Body Refinement, the effect might be even better.

No wonder it was called an Immortal Method; the results truly exceeded expectations.

Bai Feng stretched and declared, “Once I achieve it, I won’t be a fragile little control anymore!”

Just then, he noticed Bai Yu Mo resting beside him, so he slowed down his movements.

“When did you come?”

He murmured softly, eyeing her as if she’d fallen asleep, but he didn’t disturb her. He was about to go warm up some meat porridge—his appetite was much better after practicing the Body Refinement Technique.

As he got up, Bai Yu Mo suddenly opened her eyes.

“Big Brother? Are you done?”

She quickly stood from the ground, watching Bai Feng for a moment. This time, her Celestial Bone didn’t react.

Bai Feng nodded, then sensed her gaze shift to him—it was strange, almost as if she was looking at a rare treasure.

“Did you practice some kind of cultivation technique?”

She placed her hand on him gently, feeling like her Celestial Bone might jump out at any moment.

If she didn’t trust Bai Feng wouldn’t hurt her, she might even suspect he was planning to snatch her Celestial Bone.

“It’s a special kind of technique,” Bai Feng thought for a few seconds, then looked at Bai Yu Mo with a smile. “Want to learn it?”

Bai Yu Mo immediately nodded eagerly. “Yes yes!”

“Okay, I’ll think about how to teach you.”

After some consideration, Bai Feng decided not to hide the Body Refining Technique anymore but to teach it to Bai Yu Mo.

The stronger she was, the safer he’d be. Besides, he trusted her.

Not teaching her the technique before was mainly because this technique didn’t work well with her innate Celestial Bone—especially since Bai Yu Mo was quite a pure sword cultivator. Her focus on Spiritual Consciousness was minimal, and trying to cultivate it would just be a waste of effort.

But the Body Refinement Technique was different. Even just the fact that her Celestial Bone reacted to it was enough reason. Plus, many sword techniques include body refinement, and some sword cultivators even specialize in a specific body-strengthening method.

Bai Feng transmigrated—and he has a younger sister born with Immortal Bones. He initially thought that as long as he clung tightly to his sister’s thigh, he could live a carefree life in this perilous world of cultivation. Until he woke up one day to discover that his mother was preparing to extract his sister’s Immortal Bones and implant them into him. Only then did he realize he was holding the villain script! Right at that moment, the System appeared. As long as he targeted any Child of Destiny and seized the Child of Destiny’s providence value, he could receive generous rewards. At the same time, however, if he plundered too much providence, it would draw the Child of Destiny’s wariness—or even outright hostility. Looking at the three Children of Destiny in this single city, Bai Feng decided—forget it! Whoever wants to be the villain can go ahead; there are already three Children of Destiny in this one city alone. He didn’t even dare imagine how many Children of Destiny might exist across the entire world. So, when the sects were recruiting disciples, he avoided that sect full of Children of Destiny. He also steered clear of those professions they frequented. Every day, he would just draw some ecchi arts, listen to music, and do whatever he felt like. Many years later, Tianji Tower had the opportunity to interview some Children of Destiny who were close to Bai Feng, asking them for their thoughts on him: Child of Destiny A: “No one understands Bai Feng better than I do. He’s nothing like the rumours that claim he coveted the Immortal Bones out of selfishness. On the contrary, he has no interest in Immortal Bones and has secretly been protecting his sister all this time.” Child of Destiny B: “Many people call me a Child of Destiny, someone fated by the heavens. But in my opinion, Brother Bai is the true favored son of heaven. He’s warmhearted and upright, walking the path of immortality with an ordinary body.” Meanwhile, Bai Feng, who was watching this interview, slowly tapped out a ‘?’ They’re slandering me! And you bunch of Children of Destiny—stay away from me!
