Chapter 17: Be Careful Next Time, Or I’ll Catch You!
“Of course. But tell me, Young Master Bai, what kind of compensation do you prefer?”
Qiu Er giggled as she sauntered over to Bai Feng. She gradually sat down, curling her left leg over her right, and the silky black fabric slipped like flowing sand, revealing her fair, smooth thigh.
Her voice seemed to possess a magic that made people lose themselves, bowing before her skirts, entirely captivated.
But Bai Feng kept running his divine magic, unconcerned by her charms.
“Quite the mischievous little fox, huh? Well then, let’s see what’s behind that veil of yours, Miss Qiu Er,” he said, his tone teasing.
“Gongzi is so impatient,” Qiu Er covered her mouth, smiling softly. “If you agree to one little thing, I’ll show you my face—no, even other parts of me, if you’re interested.”
Her voice was floaty and soft, yet it also felt like a thin hook hooking into his heart, endlessly teasing. If he was a weak-willed noble brat, he might’ve already surrendered everything.
‘Hiss… Looks like I’ve met a real demoness.’
Bai Feng clearly sensed that her voice was a little off—probably she had mastered some kind of seductive skill.
And her constant chatter? Probably she was trying to deepen her influence, maybe even control him with her charm.
But sadly, I’m just stalling here!
So Bai Feng responded accordingly: “Oh? Miss Qiu Er, what exactly do you want me to do?”
She dived her hand into the space between two spherical objects, pulling out a stack of papers.
And Bai Feng immediately recognized those as his naughty sketches he’d been doodling lately!
Unbelievable—you’ve milked me dry, and now you’ve stolen my drafts too!
From now on, be careful or I’ll catch you!
“Who would’ve thought that the famous Master Chun Qiu is actually White Family’s young master?” Qiu Er waved the papers in front of Bai Feng, a faint aroma emanating from them, making his bl**d rush.
“I’ve admired you for a long time, Gongzi Chunqiu. Want to come with me? To see even more beautiful scenery?” she invited slyly.
“Miss Qiu Er, you’ve truly presented an offer I can’t refuse,” Bai Feng nodded along, looking utterly enchanted.
But suddenly, he leapt up from the stone bench, eyes sharp, and flickered a talisman in his hand, instantly appearing at the gate: “But, I refuse!”
As he declared, the array sealing the courtyard and outside world shattered in a flash.
At that moment, Bai Feng threw the talisman away, unleashing a flurry of sword qi that surrounded him.
He took a deep breath: “Help! Save me!!!!”
His silky combo move caught Qiu Er completely off guard—she never expected Bai Feng to be unaffected by her charms and even better, to be able to break the array.
How was this possible?
Because she was momentarily stunned, she missed her best chance to strike. Now, she could feel multiple gazes locking onto her.
She looked toward Bai Feng, guarded by layers of sword qi—no anger on her face, just a charming smile: “Everyone calls Bai Young Master a useless fool, but I see those people are the ones who lack vision.”
“White Feng, I’ll always leave a spot for you by my side. If you want to meet me, just come to Holy Heart Sect—I’ll be waiting…” she purred.
Before she could finish, a streak of sword qi appeared beside her and shot toward her neck.
But in the next second, Qiu Er vanished after being cut—only a large gash was left on the ground.
“She got away,” Bai Tian You, standing beside Bai Feng, said with a grim face. “Afu, investigate—find out how this demoness managed to sneak into the White Family!”
“Understood, Young Master,” the steward nodded quickly and disappeared.
“Feng’er, are you okay?”
He turned to Bai Feng, still protected by sword qi, and the menace on his face vanished.
“I’m fine. Luckily I’m skilled—and I know a bit about formations,” Bai Feng puffed his chest, still feeling shaken.
He hadn’t expected anyone to invade the Bai residence, so he slacked off on setting up his formations. Otherwise, he’d have promptly arranged dozens of arrays in his room, making that demoness regret ever entering.
He also reflected, perhaps he was overconfident about the Bai name and his security: “Dad, we need to tighten security in the house.”
“It’s just because your place is too remote!” Bai Tian You, seeing Bai Feng safe, went back to his usual attitude. “Starting today, you’ll move next door.”
“Oh.”
Bai Feng was a little reluctant but didn’t refuse—after all, distinguishing between doodling pervs and his own life was easy.
A moment later, Ah Fu returned to Bai Tian You: “Old Master, we found her. She’s the Hundred Faced Saintess of Holy Heart Sect. She came to Blue Rainbow City a year ago and even controls Autumn Wind Tower.”
“Huh, the Hundred Faced Saintess…”
Bai Tian You felt a tad overwhelmed. She wasn’t particularly powerful in combat, but her cultivation method was insanely bizarre. She could change her appearance at will and even read the memories of those she replaced.
He glanced at Bai Feng: “How did you manage to offend her?”
“Um, I drew some things she took a liking to. She said she wanted to take me to see more beautiful scenery,” Bai Feng explained, half annoyed, half bewildered.
Seriously, this demoness—what’s her deal? Not even interested in handsome guys or young masters? She just wants my naughty drawings?
And not just that—she wants to (literally) take me away? Does she find her own handsome men in the real world insufficient?
Bai Tian You paused, unsure whether to laugh or get mad: “I told you not to draw that stuff. Now look—she’s after you!”
“Who knows, maybe she’ll go for real people and stop looking at my drawings,” Bai Feng muttered, feeling unfairly picked on.
Bai Tian You’s lips curled with a faint smile: “Who says she isn’t after real ones now? Seems like she’s coming for you.”
Despite his annoyance, there was an inexplicable pride in his heart—after all, not every demoness was able to target his son. That meant something, right? My son’s not a worthless loser after all!
Bai Feng: “…”
What kind of father did I get myself into?
Well, nothing big happened this time, but it’s not like the demoness from the Demon Path will just give up that easily.
And Bai Family can’t stay on high alert forever—if they slack even a little, next time he might not be able to slip away so easily.
But what’s safer?
‘Should I really join Heavenly Sword Sect?’
Heavenly Sword Sect, being a behemoth in the Northern Region and the leader of the righteous path, has rich experience fighting demon kind. If I cause trouble and need the safest place to hide, it’s probably Heavenly Sword Sect.
Bai Feng looked conflicted—this was like trying to find the least gross, least stinky stall in a manure-filled dunghill.
