Chapter 188: “Want to Know What Yun Yue Yao Just Did?”
Inside the room, Bai Feng looked at Yun Yue Yao, who had casually sat right on his lap, and fought the urge to roll his eyes as he asked, “So… what’s the big deal?”
Yun Yue Yao leaned against him, tilting her head up to gaze at his face: “Do you know who picked the location for Tian Luo City?”
“Who? Was it the Holy Land of Tian Yan?”
“Exactly! It’s the Holy Land of Tian Yan, and the decision was made by the Holy Maiden herself.” Yun Yue Yao nodded confidently.
Bai Feng paused thoughtfully for a few seconds. He recalled Tian Yan once mentioned witnessing the future. So if she chose Tian Luo City as the site, that probably means…
“So… something is going to happen in Tian Luo City?”
“Well… it’s a bit complicated.” Yun Yue Yao shook her head. “This place is the origin of the awakening of Immortal Path. In a few days, strange phenomena will occur, and it will help with cultivation. The Holy Land of Tian Yan is also trying to use this chance to tell everyone — a new era is coming.”
“No wonder all the sects and holy lands are bringing so many disciples over.”
Bai Feng had some doubts earlier. It was just about negotiating cooperation with the Central Continent Holy Land, so even if they wanted to show off their strength, they shouldn’t have brought so many people.
“Afterward, I’ll be returning to Central Continent.” Yun Yue Yao whispered while lying in his arms. “But don’t worry, I’ll breakthrough to Transformation God soon, and I’ll come find you again. This time, I won’t—”
“Won’t… what?”
Yun Yue Yao lifted her head, looking at Bai Feng with a slight smile: “If you marry me, I’ll tell you.”
“……”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore,” Yun Yue Yao shook her head. “If you’re really curious, I’ll tell you after we reach Transformation God.”
Then she suddenly turned voice playful, lifting her head with a grin: “Darling, since I’ve shared so much info, can’t you reward me a little?”
“Your title I’ll hold off on roasting, what kind of reward do you want?”
“Hee hee hee…” Yun Yue Yao turned around, staring at Bai Feng and licking her lips softly in his cautious gaze, then she opened her mouth and whispered, “Just give me a hug.”
“…That’s it?”
Bai Feng thought Yun Yue Yao was about to ask for something outrageous, but all she wanted was a hug? What a letdown.
“If you want to do something more, I’d happily let you,” Yun Yue Yao caught Bai Feng’s arm and made him hold her close, “but for now, just hug me.”
……
“Brother…”
Bai Yu Mo quietly pushed open the door, peeked inside, then slowly walked over and sat beside Bai Feng.
“Finished cultivating?”
Bai Feng turned his head slightly, noticing Bai Yu Mo sneakily eyeing him. As soon as their eyes met, she quickly lowered her head, fiddling nervously with her fingers on her lap.
He looked at her with a bit of confusion: “What’s up?”
“Um… this…” Bai Yu Mo looked slightly away, quietly mumbling, “I just saw Yun Yue Yao come out of your room.”
“She just came to talk to me. In the next few days, Tian Luo City might experience some strange phenomena.”
Bai Feng sighed inwardly. Every time Yun Yue Yao visited, Bai Yu Mo always seemed to catch her. He even wondered if she was deliberately doing it.
“Oh…”
Bai Yu Mo nodded, still keeping her head down, lost in thought.
Suddenly, Bai Feng stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.
“Brother?”
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She slightly lifted her head, meeting Bai Feng’s eyes, which shimmered with a hint of mischief:
“Want to know what Yun Yue Yao did just now?”
“Yeah…” Bai Yu Mo averted her gaze slightly, nodding gently.
“Exactly this.”
Bai Feng reached out to hold Bai Yu Mo, her back pressed right against his chest, almost feeling his heartbeat.
She instinctively closed her eyes, but after waiting for a long time, Bai Feng made no move.
Slowly she opened her eyes, carefully turning to look at Bai Feng, eyes full of confusion.
“That’s what Yun Yue Yao did earlier,” Bai Feng said smiling.
“Just like that?”
Bai Yu Mo muttered softly. She always felt Yun Yue Yao was not so simple.
“If I had to say… she even took a nap in my arms. Do you want to sleep too?”
“Um…”
Bai Yu Mo suddenly felt a bit played by Yun Yue Yao. But… oh well!
It’s not often Bai Feng hugs her. Might as well enjoy it.
……
The cooperation between the Northern Regions sects and Central Continent Holy Land was almost settled. But they still showed no signs of leaving Tian Luo City, and their exchanges became even more frequent.
“As Yun Yue Yao said.”
Bai Feng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
And he suspected that the cooperation between the Northern Regions and Central was not merely about dealing with the Demon Path.
But why would the Central Holy Land cooperate with the Northern Sect?
‘Is it because the first anomaly appeared in the Northern Regions?’
Bai Feng thought it was probably more complicated. The Holy Land prides itself as the Fairy Gate — outwardly courteous, but internally proud. They wouldn’t lower themselves to cooperate with Northern sects without a compelling reason.
Could it involve other regions?
The troubled Eastern Continent, the demon-tribe-led Southern Region, and the ravaged Western Region weren’t exactly peaceful neighbors. If chaos broke out, Central might really get caught in the crossfire.
‘Forget it, let the Sect Lord fret over these things.’
Bai Feng stretched lazily, then suddenly heard the sound of the window being pried open.
Little Master, there’s more to this chapter! Click to the next page for more exciting bits!
“Xiao Xue, you’ve been coming here way too often lately?”
Bai Feng grinned as he pushed open the window and pulled a few cans of cat food from his storage pouch. Xiao Xue immediately leapt onto his lap, elegantly nibbling away one morsel at a time.
After finishing, it licked Bai Feng’s palm with its spiky tongue, then settled down in a cozy pose, resting on his leg.
But inside, its little heart wasn’t so calm. After eating the cat food, it was hooked — this food was not only delicious but also boosted its power. Bai Feng, the master, was its ticket to greatness.
And its owner was already exhausted; since that day they took photos together, Yao Yao hadn’t dared step close to Bai Feng’s place. Even if she spent the night here, she hadn’t come to see it.
It was so worried it almost wanted to transform and take matters into its own claws.
But today was different. It was prepared. Recently, its owner kept gazing at the imaging device, smiling foolishly. So it stole the imaging device.
Soon, Xiao Xue, lounging on Bai Feng’s leg, heard hesitant knocking. The visitor seemed nervous, even scared.
“Coming.”
Bai Feng gently placed Xiao Xue on the sofa. Judging from the knocking sound, it was probably Yao Yao. But wasn’t she usually knocking more urgently?
He pushed open the door to see Yun Yao Yao standing there, awkwardly, avoiding eye contact.
“Uh, is Little Snow with the Junior Brother?”
“It’s here. It’s sleeping on the sofa!” Bai Feng nodded.
Yun Yao Yao looked at the sleeping Xiao Xue, but unlike usual, she hesitated to reach out and pick it up. “Junior Brother, could you help me get him?”
Bai Feng stroked his chin. “Are you having a disagreement?”
“No, no, it’s just… uh… how should I put this…” Yun Yao Yao gripped her skirt tightly, her brain working overtime.
“Fine, just come in. I don’t bite.”
Bai Feng chuckled. He also guessed the reason Yun Yao Yao hadn’t come to find him these days.
You even posted those photos, yet now you’re afraid to meet? What a twist!
He reached out and grabbed her arm—the motion looked resistant, but he felt no resistance at all. With ease, he pulled her inside.
