Chapter 159: “This is Bai Yu Mo’s marriage contract. Why don’t you sign it too?”
“Dangerous?”
Bai Feng shot a quick glance at Yun Yue Yao and Bai Yu Mo, feeling that right now, he was sitting on a ticking bomb. The system might just blow him sky-high at any moment.
“Talents have been sprouting up faster than weeds these last few years,” Yun Yue Yao leaned in against him, eyes half-closed in what appeared to be utter bliss. “And in the future, divine traces will appear more often. Everyone will be swept up in it. No one can stay uninvolved.”
Bai Feng suddenly sank into thoughts. He thought about his system, about all those Child of Destiny clones piling up. If divine traces really did emerge someday, it would spell disaster for the world.
He absolutely didn’t believe those Little Destiny Kids would end up peacefully coexisting—especially since many of them were selfish bastards willing to do anything for their own sake.
“Something good must’ve happened to you, some lucky encounter, that got you out of the future’s hands. But I’m not sure if that’s good or bad,” Yun Yue Yao continued, voice soft but firm. “But don’t worry, I’ll protect you… I will definitely protect you.”
Bai Feng was silent for a few seconds before asking, “Can I ask what my future self is like?”
“He’s very much in love with me, your wonderful wife!” Yun Yue Yao replied seriously.
“…That’s not what I meant.”
“Ugh, your fate has already changed long ago. Even if I told you, it wouldn’t do much for you now,” Yun Yue Yao shook her head. “You didn’t learn Array, and you didn’t join Heavenly Sword Sect, so my dad brought me to White Family. Every day, you’re either chatting with me or drawing… um, how do I say this—explicit pictures? Is that okay to say?”
“Alright, I think I got it.”
Bai Feng quickly waved his hand.
It seemed that in the future Yun Yue Yao glimpsed, there was probably no System with him.
But even so, why was she still drawing… explicit art?
Meanwhile, Bai Yu Mo’s brow furrowed. She understood every word they said, yet when they put it together, she suddenly found herself totally confused.
Future? Destiny? Sure, she knew Tian Yan Holy Land specializes in fortune-telling, but this… this was way too mystical?
“Big bro, it’s best not to believe in that kind of stuff,” she whispered softly into Bai Feng’s ear.
Before he could respond, Yun Yue Yao turned to Bai Yu Mo, speaking earnestly: “Bai Yu Mo, I know what I’m saying is hard to believe, but I still suggest you prepare yourself a bit. You don’t want Bai Feng to run into trouble, do you?”
“What do you mean?”
Yun Yue Yao didn’t answer Bai Yu Mo’s question directly. Instead, she continued, as if catching her breath: “Actually, I don’t dislike you much. We’re pretty much the same kind of people. But I’m just a little less twisted than you.”
Bai Yu Mo’s eyebrows lifted in protest. “I’m not like you at all! What exactly are you trying to say?”
“For the foreseeable future, please take care of Bai Feng,” Yun Yue Yao traced circles on Bai Feng’s arm with her finger. “Since I can’t always be by his side, hmm…”
She suddenly remembered something, hurriedly rummaging through her storage bag before pulling out a small red book. “Bai Feng, sign this first!”
“What’s this?” Bai Feng picked up the small red book and examined it.
Yun Yue Yao’s serious face explained: “It’s a special spiritual tool that can protect you from harm.”
“Isn’t this just a marriage contract?” Bai Feng silently looked at Yun Yue Yao. “You might as well change the words on it.”
“Once we’re married, I can protect you from injuries,” she declared earnestly.
Bai Feng: “…”
Well said, but I feel like signing it is probably gonna invite system-based disaster any second now.
“You’re shameless!”
Bai Yu Mo snatched the marriage contract away, eyes blazing with fury. Her fury nearly burst out—it was burning hot enough to melt the sky.
“Ugh, well, I prepared an extra one just in case…” Yun Yue Yao pulled out another marriage contract from her storage bag, offering, “This is Bai Yu Mo’s. You might as well sign this one too.”
Bai Feng: “?”
Wait, what did you just say?
Bai Yu Mo’s movements froze instantly. Her little face turned red as her eyes flickered with confusion.
Yun Yue Yao awkwardly explained: “I’m not 100% sure I can protect you. Anyway, Bai Yu Mo also likes you, right? If it’s Bai Yu Mo, I could compromise.”
“No, no, no! Don’t spread rumors about me!”
Her cheeks all red and flustered, Bai Yu Mo started sputtering, trembling with rage.
“Ugh, fine. Luckily, I brought another one just in case,” Yun Yue Yao pulled out a second marriage contract from her bag. “This one’s for Bai Yu Mo. Just sign this too.”
Bai Feng: “?”
What did you just say?
Bai Yu Mo’s face flushed even deeper. She looked flustered, her expression a mixture of embarrassment and confusion.
Yun Yue Yao twitched her lips, then stood up and wrapped her arms around Bai Feng. “Since it’s like this, I’ll just monopolize him myself.”
“Uu…”
Bai Yu Mo froze in place, her head ducked, her small mouth puffed out in a pout, trembling faintly.
“I say, at least ask for my opinion first, okay?” Bai Feng tried to push her away while grumbling.
“Ugh, I was negligent,” Yun Yue Yao nodded. “So, Bai Feng, which day do you think we should get married?”
“……”
You really wanna marry me, huh?
“Wait.” At this moment, Bai Yu Mo exhaled softly and looked up at Yun Yue Yao with firm determination. “I don’t know what kind of future you saw, but even if you don’t say it, I will protect Bai Feng. That’s our promise.”
“Maybe not,” Yun Yue Yao shook her head. “Although I do feel responsible, you really didn’t protect him well—that’s because of your twisted personality.”
“That’s just your guess…” Bai Yu Mo bit her lip.
“Let’s hope it’s only my guess,” Yun Yue Yao said, shaking her head. “I won’t make the same mistake twice—what about you? Do you want to keep being stubborn? Next time you see me with Bai Feng, will you hide away again?”
…… Bai Yu Mo looked away in silence.
Yun Yue Yao continued, “Honestly, I’d rather protect him than fight over someone who has no chance anyway. If you keep acting like this, it shows I was wrong about you. Please step aside.”
“……I won’t step down.” Bai Yu Mo clenched her fists. Under Yun Yue Yao’s relentless pressure, she finally made up her mind. “I will protect him. I won’t let what you said happen.”
Then she reached out and grabbed Bai Feng’s sleeve, afraid to meet his eyes. Bowing her head, she spoke softly: “Big bro, I know my feelings for you might be wrong. You don’t have to answer me. Just let me stay by your side to protect you…”
Bai Feng looked at Bai Yu Mo. At that moment, he was much calmer than he thought he would be.
He’d actually been considering stopping their arguing earlier, but then he shoved that thought aside.
First, he didn’t know how to resolve this. Whatever he said, it’d only trigger a hidden mine. Even if he managed to smooth things over, it would only delay the crisis—possibly making it worse over time. Second, he sensed Yun Yue Yao was trying to diffuse the situation, not just arguing.
Suddenly, he reached out, gripping Bai Yu Mo’s wrist and yanking her into his arms with force. Her startled cry rang out as he pulled her close. “You’ve said enough. Do you still think we can keep playing sibling games?”
“Big bro…” Bai Yu Mo’s face blushed red, almost burying her head in his chest.
Bai Feng glanced at the unresponsive system for a moment, breathing a little easier.
At least, it looked like he managed to dodge that big mine for now.
He hadn’t expected things to turn out like this—not at all. He’d even prepared himself for an explosion—double trouble, maybe. But thank Yun Yue Yao! Though, he couldn’t help but wonder what future she’d ‘touched’ that made her make such a choice.
It sounded like his injuries—or maybe d*ath—came from inadequate protection around the pair, right?
At that moment, Yun Yue Yao hugged him tighter, face rubbing against his: “Ugh, it was mainly my idea, but seeing you messing around with other women still makes me mad. You should kiss me more, okay?”
