**Chapter 165: I Got a Top-notch Dual Cultivation Technique in the Secret Realm**
“Sounds promising.”
Bai Feng looked at the squares on the game board. Many areas had transformed from regular land to resource land, but there was now a cultivation requirement—only those who had transcended to the Transformation God level could occupy them.
“Exactly! This is one of the few stages where we can develop safely and quickly,” Yun Yue Yao nodded. “Next, we need to gather resources and boost our strength.”
“Let me see if there’s a quick way to buy resources.”
Bai Feng had managed to adjust to the sudden shift from Monopoly to a tabletop RPG. He stared intently at the game board, deep in thought.
“No, not with our current power,” Yun Yue Yao shook her head, a smug smile creeping onto her face as she pulled out a card from her inventory. “But I obtained a top-notch dual cultivation technique in the Secret Realm that can rapidly enhance our cultivation.”
Bai Feng: “…”
Is this some kind of galgame?! We’re skipping straight to the good stuff after the strategy, huh?
“Can I refuse?”
“Nope.”
Yun Yue Yao placed the card onto the game board, and suddenly, they saw their tiny figurines once again march into a room.
“How long does this take?”
Bai Feng watched as the board changed dramatically, only to see one little figure barreling toward their residence.
And just like that, dual cultivation was interrupted.
“Ugh, I knew it would be interrupted!” Yun Yue Yao frowned, clearly not pleased.
Bai Feng checked the intruder’s information, and the words ‘Celestial Bone Owner’ leaped off the board.
“…”
So this game board actually has some fortune-telling capabilities, huh?
“Forget it, let’s call it a day!” Yun Yue Yao said as she put away the board. “With my current strength, I can’t reveal too much about the future.”
“No wonder you’ve been so vague.”
“But the game events are real,” Yun Yue Yao leaned against Bai Feng, adding, “Now you can start preparing.”
“Preparing for the revival of spiritual veins?”
Bai Feng stroked his chin, realizing this was something he could gear up for in advance.
Especially after seeing a whole bunch of Child of Destiny figures bickering on the board, he felt a chill run down his spine.
With his current luck points, if he got dragged into that chaos, he probably wouldn’t survive the day.
He definitely needed to prepare more!
As he pondered, Yun Yue Yao suddenly leaned in and whispered, “It might also include a wedding event.”
“……So you’re just taking advantage of my ignorance regarding game mechanics to force a marriage on me, huh?” Bai Feng retorted.
“Don’t sweat the details.”
Just then, Bai Yu Mo burst through the door. “Bro, tonight we’re having—”
She stopped short at the sight of Yun Yue Yao practically glued to Bai Feng. Her brows furrowed, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m Bai Feng’s fiancée; isn’t it normal for me to be here?”
Yun Yue Yao smiled, then gently pecked Bai Feng on the corner of his mouth under Bai Yu Mo’s glaring gaze. “Alright, I’m off. See you tomorrow!”
With that, she strolled out of the room, leaving Bai Yu Mo eyeing her as if she were a threat.
“Why is this person so annoying?!”
Bai Yu Mo clenched her fists, utterly irritated that such things were happening right in front of her!
She hurried over to Bai Feng, but before she could lean in closer, she remembered their previous kiss, and a blush crept onto her cheeks, making her feel slightly weak in the knees.
Suddenly, Bai Feng reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Feeling his warmth, her anger evaporated instantly. She looked down shyly and said, “Um, I haven’t cooked yet…”
“Cook later; let me hold you a little longer.”
“……Okay.” Bai Yu Mo rested her hands on his arms, “It’s been a while since we’ve just sat like this, chatting.”
“Yeah, you only used to come cuddle when it was storming, right?”
“After all, your embrace feels really safe…” Bai Yu Mo mumbled.
After enjoying their moment together, she reluctantly pulled away from his hold.
She quickly tied her hair back and put on her apron. “I’m going to cook! Just wait here!”
With that, she dashed off to the kitchen.
Bai Feng smiled, watching her leave—Bai Yu Mo was still easy to please.
On the other hand, he felt a bit helpless facing Yun Yue Yao, who seemed to know too much about him.
……
“Speaking of which, all the major sects should be here today, right?”
Bai Feng sat on the bed, deep in thought.
Traditionally, the disciples from various sects would have a competition today, a chance to showcase the talents of the younger generation.
If all went well, he’d probably have to compete too, likely against the Spirit Sealing Sect in an array contest.
Thinking about it, he had a bit of a conflict with their Child of Destiny—was there a way to avoid him?
While he mulled over this, a sudden noise caught his attention by the window.
Glancing over, he spotted a white kitten scratching at his window.
“Little Snow?”
Bai Feng raised his hand and gently nudged the window open; Little Snow seized the chance and leaped onto his bed.
“What are you doing here? Where’s Yu Yao?”
He reached out to scratch Little Snow’s chin, and the kitten purred in delight.
Just then, he heard a voice from outside.
“Little Snow? Where did you run off to? If you keep wandering, I’ll send you back!”
Bai Feng looked down at Little Snow, who seemed a bit scared, and stroked its head. “Yu Yao’s right; you can’t run around. This isn’t the Yu family—watch out or someone might snatch you away.”
“Meow~~”
“Little Snow!” Suddenly, Yu Yao popped her head in through the window. “So you really are here with little junior brother!”
“Good morning, sister… Wait, don’t climb through the window! I’ll open the door for you!”
Before Bai Feng could stop her, Yu Yao had already clambered through the window.
She quickly made her way over to Bai Feng’s bed and grabbed Little Snow, playfully ‘tormenting’ it with both hands. “Little Snow, do you dare run off again?!”
“Meow meow meow!!”
Little Snow felt wronged; it was just trying to help its master get closer to Bai Feng! Why was it getting bullied instead?
“Alright, alright, Sister, don’t be too hard on it,” Bai Feng laughed. “How about this: I’ll leave a small door open for Little Snow. If it wants to come over, it can just come through the small door.”
Yu Yao, still a bit grumpy, ruffled Little Snow’s fur. “Ugh… I raised Little Snow, how did you steal it from me in just one day?”
