Chapter 160: “Is this the place…? Did she kiss here…?”
“Hmm, I’m a bit reluctant, but I guess I should leave now.” Yun Yue Yao slowly loosens her grip on Bai Feng’s arm. “But don’t worry, the exchange between the North Region sects and Central Continent’s Sacred Grounds is a long one—plenty of time for us to hang out.”
Then she turns to Bai Yu Mo. “Bai Yu Mo, make sure you protect him!”
“No need for you to tell me,” Bai Yu Mo snaps, arms crossed.
At that moment, Yun Yue Yao suddenly reaches out and tugs on Bai Feng’s sleeve. “Oh, Bai Feng, mind lowering your head? I’ve got something to give you.”
“What kind of thing? Don’t tell me it’s another marriage contract?” Bai Feng groans softly as he nods and dips his head.
In an instant, Yun Yue Yao leans in on her tiptoes, bringing her face close to his.
Next thing he knows, there’s a gentle, soft sensation on his lips.
【Ding! Host has sneaky stolen the Child of Destiny Yun Yue Yao’s first kiss! This is incredible—an act most villains can’t manage! The system rewards: Luck Points +332; Talisman upgraded to Minor Success.】
You’re kidding! Did you hear that, Sect Master? Kidding! Did you hear?! That’s clearly the Child of Destiny stealing my first kiss!
I honestly thought you’d been acting so obedient all this time because of conscience… turns out you’re still not over it!
Yun Yue Yao releases his face with a faint blush. “That was just a brief goodbye kiss. Now I’m off.”
With that, she swiftly pushes open the door and leaves.
“…Whatever,” Bai Feng sighs. A Child of Destiny, what can he do?
“Bro…”
White Jade Mo’s deep voice floats from beside him.
“What’s up, Yu Mo?”
Bai Feng turns, just in time to see Bai Yu Mo’s expressionless face approaching, and in the next second, her lips press against his again—soft, gentle, and unmistakably deliberate.
【Ding! Host has repeatedly stolen Bai Yu Mo’s first kiss! Seriously, so villainous—can other villains pull this off?! Luck Points +333; Sword Fragment +1.】
Sect Master, did you go watch anime while we were apart?
He’s seen plenty of protagonist-villain romances where they get some bed action, sure, but he’s just been kissed—nothing more, right?
“Is this the spot…? Did she kiss here…?”
Bai Yu Mo slowly releases Bai Feng, eyes fixed on his lips, clearly driven by her fiery rage that gave her the courage to lean in. But her fury isn’t quite gone yet.
Her eyes harden, and she tiptoes once more to get closer.
But suddenly, Bai Feng reaches out and wraps his arms around her waist. She lets out a startled shout, and her anger seems to evaporate instantly.
Then—soft lips again. And her cry is swallowed back.
“Ugh…”
Seconds later, Bai Feng lets go, and she’s already lost in thought, her cheeks blushing fiercely.
“Phew…” Bai Feng exhales. Yun Yue Yao ran off after a kiss, so that’s fine, but her, she’s still trying to get another—what’s her deal, thinking she’s some pristine noble? Seriously.
“Are you satisfied now?” He brushes her hair softly.
“Mmm…” Bai Yu Mo avoids his gaze, her voice tiny as a mosquito’s buzz.
Her mind is still spinning. Only when Bai Feng releases her does she scrape together a little clarity:
“Uh… I still need to finish washing the dishes, so I’ll go do that now…” She bolts into her room like a thief.
Bai Feng shakes his head. “Low defense and still trying to kiss… what are you thinking?”
He glances at the system, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Though he was still dumped a big Luck Points stash, it’s way better than the worst-case scenario he’d imagined.
…
“Bro, you up? Dinner’s almost ready.”
Early morning. Bai Feng steps out of his room and spots Bai Yu Mo already busy cooking breakfast.
She blushes slightly when she looks at him, then quickly averts her gaze—she’s still a bit overwhelmed from yesterday, clearly.
He yawns, unaffected, and casually asks, “Need a hand?”
“No, no! Just sit at the table and wait!” she insists, waving him away with more energy than her tired face should allow. He even worries her pot might crack under all that fuss.
She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself, but then gets hit with the fumes and coughs.
“Let me help,” Bai Feng says, stepping in to blow away the oil smoke.
“Oh…” Bai Yu Mo almost burst into tears. Why is she so bad at this simple stuff?
A few minutes later, they carry their breakfast to the table.
Bai Yu Mo secretly glances at Bai Feng, then scoots her chair closer to him.
‘Maybe… maybe I should do something more intimate? After all, I already kissed him yesterday… feeding him today shouldn’t be a problem, right?’
She keeps poking at her food with her chopsticks. The thought of him swallowing her food makes her cheeks burn hot.
“Yu Mo?”
“Yes!” she jumps, suddenly realizing she’s inadvertently slumped next to Bai Feng, staring straight at him.
Before she can pull away, Bai Feng’s chopsticks suddenly appear at her mouth with a piece of meat.
“Want a bite?”
“…Mm.”
She hardly remembers how she ended up chewing the meat off his chopsticks. Her brain seems to have shut down.
Then she suddenly remembers her tongue flicking the chopstick carefully.
‘No way—this doesn’t count, does it? I already… already kissed Bai Feng… it’s not a big deal.’
She rubs her flushed face, sneaking a look at him—he seems totally unbothered, calmly eating as usual.
Watching the bit of food she carefully licked on the chopsticks go into Bai Feng’s mouth, she quickly lowers her gaze to her half bowl of rice.
‘But… it’s so embarrassing…’
“Hey, Bai Feng, you up? Sister’s coming in!”
Suddenly, a loud, energetic voice calls from outside. Bai Yu Mo’s whole body twitches, nearly jumping out of her chair.
She rubs her red face, trying to hide her blush, but it’s stubbornly there. Looking around nervously, she quickly ducks into her room, slamming the door shut.
Bai Feng: “?”
What’s with the hiding? Don’t act like we’re doing something shady!
He shakes his head and slowly heads toward her room. “Coming! Coming! Sister, don’t break down the door, and definitely don’t climb in through the window!”
