Chapter 153: You’ve Been Told Off in Marriage?
Su Lan Qian instinctively lifted her head and looked at Bai Feng’s serious expression.
“I think Sister Su is a genius—far surpassing other Array Masters,” Bai Feng raised his right hand, and an abandoned Array Disk appeared in his palm. “Do you remember this worthless Array Disk?”
Su Lan Qian stared at the discarded Array Disk that had accompanied her through countless nights, and nodded subconsciously.
“This Array Disk not only has a ‘Thousand Array’ inside it but also contains ideas that are completely incompatible with the current Array system—and maybe even a bit rebellious and blasphemous,” Bai Feng said softly, eyes shining with mischief.
Su Lan Qian kept nodding, thinking she’d never seen anyone dismantle an Array like this before. While most Array Masters were busy chasing the perfect Array Path, trying to get closer to the divine mystery of arrays, Bai Feng was running in the opposite direction. His portable Array wasn’t about understanding Array principles; it was cold, precise, almost robotic. To him, Array Dao didn’t seem that important.
“When you brought this discarded Array Disk to me, I was so surprised I almost dropped my Qi Pill,” Bai Feng gazed into Su Lan Qian’s eyes gently. “That was the moment when the fragile genius image you had of me changed forever.”
He paused, slowing his tone, speaking each word with concentration. “You are a genius beyond other Array Masters. I don’t know what others think of you, but in my eyes, you are absolutely one of a kind.”
—
Su Lan Qian lowered her head, but the next second, her small face was grabbed by two hands.
Bai Feng squatted down slowly, locking eyes with her:
“Think back to when you were my assistant. You mastered most of the portable Array Disk techniques in a short time, understood my bizarre, even somewhat unreasonable requests clearly, and even helped me improve the Array Disks sometimes.”
“That’s just…”
Su Lan Qian was interrupted again before she could finish: “Sister Su, don’t deny yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, believe in me. If you dislike the word ‘genius,’ I can use another term.”
“You’re my indispensable helper. To make an analogy—like Sword Cultivator and sword, or Alchemist and the Alchemy Furnace—you take away the sword, and he can still fight, but not at full strength; take away the Alchemy Furnace, and the quality of the alchemy drops. And me, your so-called ‘genius,’ also need your help very much.”
In simple terms, I need a glorified tool.
Su Lan Qian’s cheeks flushed pink. Her eyes refused to look at Bai Feng, and she whisperingly said, “But… I’m only at the Golden Core stage now, and I might not be able to progress further in the future…”
“That’s a minor issue,” Bai Feng chuckled. He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers. Then, a portion of his divine consciousness was split off and left on the edge of her spiritual sea.
Su Lan Qian’s face instantly turned crimson. Her mind seemed to freeze, and her whole body was stunned in place. Even after Bai Feng moved his forehead away, she hadn’t recovered.
“Sister Su?”
“Oh! Yes!” Su Lan Qian jolted awake, lowering her head. She instinctively reached out to touch her forehead, as if still feeling Bai Feng’s warmth and touch.
“I put part of my divine consciousness into your spiritual sea to protect you from Heart Demon interference. Until Yuan Ying, you shouldn’t worry about Heart Demon,” Bai Feng’s tone sounded a little weak, his body seemingly becoming a bit translucent: “But Heart Demon is born from the weakness inside your heart, Sister Su. I can only temporarily suppress it. To truly overcome it, you still need to find a way to face your inner flaws and defeat it.”
“Hmm, thank you,” she nodded, but her dazed expression left her uncertain if she truly understood.
“If you encounter problems in cultivation, remember to come find me,” Bai Feng gently reminded. “And when you have time, you can also ask me to inspect your Array. After all, this is my first time doing something like this.”
“Mm…”
“Alright, let’s go back.”
With a snap of his fingers, Bai Feng and Su Lan Qian were transported back into her dimly lit bedroom.
They maintained the same posture as when entering the ‘phantasm’—he retracted his hands, and she reached up, tugging at her quilt to hide her flushed face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
“Sister Su, unless you have other matters, I’ll take my leave now,” Bai Feng said, standing up. “Remember, come be my assistant!”
“Mm…” Su Lan Qian faintly nodded. She only let out a deep breath after Bai Feng left and the door shut tight. Her whole body relaxed, collapsing backward.
Thinking about what Bai Feng had just said, her face turned even redder and hotter. The initially lingering fear in her heart had vanished.
“Oh right—divine consciousness!”
She suddenly remembered and hurriedly checked her spiritual sea. Quickly, she found a fragment of Bai Feng’s divine consciousness remaining at the edge.
‘Bai Feng split off so much divine consciousness—won’t that cause problems?’ she worried.
After pondering for a few seconds, she carefully extended her divine sense, wrapping Bai Feng’s divine consciousness and dragging it deeper into her spiritual sea.
To avoid accidentally damaging his divine consciousness and affecting Bai Feng, she made sure to protect this part rigorously!
After completing all this, she began cultivation under Bai Feng’s divine sense protection. Without Heart Demon interference, she quickly immersed herself in her practice.

Meanwhile, Bai Feng automatically sensed his divine consciousness being ‘dragged’ deeper into her spiritual sea.
“What’s with dragging it so far in?”
That’s definitely not normal—can you really drag divine consciousness deep into the spiritual sea?
This was essentially entrusting his life to her hands—if he wanted, he could easily crush her divine consciousness, or even k*ll her.
Unless Su Lan Qian lacked common sense, she must be placing way too much faith in him.
‘But maybe that’s a good thing!’ he thought, rubbing his chin. This also indicated that his little helper (Paru) probably wouldn’t run away so easily.
