Chapter 206: Shui Miao Miao: I Didn’t Mean to Go to Senior Brother Bai’s Bedroom
“Finally, this is the last part of the array pattern.”
Bai Feng carefully carved the final segment of the Fairy Pattern onto the ‘stone tablet’, which was placed among several others on the table. Each stone tablet bore part of the pattern, and assembling all of them would form the complete Fairy Pattern.
Next to him, Su Lan Qian was attentively watching the pattern. She had suspected early on that this array was not ordinary—absolutely not just an auxiliary piece of the ‘Thousand Array’. Now, with the last part revealed, her suspicion was even stronger.
‘Is it really okay to learn such a priceless array pattern from him?’
Her heart was filled with doubt. Her suppressed Heart Demon took this moment to stir, fueling her doubts even more.
Suddenly, her consciousness was shaken by a ripple in her sea of awareness, clearing her muddled mind.
She instinctively looked at Bai Feng, clutching the corner of his sleeve, her heart gradually calming down.
Although anxiety and doubts kept creeping in her mind, she chose to ignore them—just like Bai Feng had said before—if she didn’t believe in herself, then she would believe in Bai Feng instead.
Su Lan Qian thought to herself.
“Bai Feng…”
“Hmm?”
Bai Feng turned his head to look at Su Lan Qian sitting next to him, who was practically pressing her body against him in her desire to see the pattern better.
“Thank you.”
Su Lan Qian kept her eyes fixed on the pattern, whispering softly.
“No need to thank me. I’m not teaching you for free,” Bai Feng joked with a smile. “In the future, I’ll need Sister Su to keep assisting me in making the array, you know.”
Su Lan Qian nodded gently. “Hmm… I’ll try my best to keep up with you and always be your helper.”
“……No need to be so serious; that’s a bit too heavy,” Bai Feng said with a slight smirk, unable to resist teasing her.
Su Lan Qian didn’t reply; she lowered her head and continued examining the Fairy Pattern on the stone tablet.
After studying for a while, she looked up again at Bai Feng, somewhat nervous, and asked, “Um, could I trouble you with something?”
“Of course, Sister Su. As long as I can do it, I’ll try to help.”
She averted her gaze slightly, softly saying, “I want to break through to Yuan Ying. Could you help me suppress my Heart Demon for these next few days?”
“This is no problem,” Bai Feng nodded. But he also wondered inwardly—”Haven’t I already helped suppress her Heart Demon before? Has the effectiveness worsened recently?”
“No!” Su Lan Qian hurriedly shook her head, then looked down, seeming a bit shy. “Maybe because of the previous influence of the Heart Demon, I feel calmer when I’m near you. So… I’d like to invite you over to my place as a guest. It doesn’t need to be long—just a little time each day.”
“That’s naturally no problem. When do you plan to start the Yuan Ying breakthrough?” Bai Feng asked.
Judging from their recent collaboration on building the array, Su Lan Qian indeed wasn’t lying—her efficiency significantly improved when she was beside him.
A look of happiness appeared on Su Lan Qian’s face as she quickly replied, “Starting tomorrow. Thank you so much.”
……
‘Huh, did Sister Su experience something joyful?’
Water Miao Miao saw Su Lan Qian pushing open the door and leaving. Compared to her usual expressionless, bowed-head demeanor, Su Lan Qian’s face was now noticeably more cheerful.
She scratched her head, guessing it was related to the array work.
Without paying much mind, she hurried to Bai Feng’s door and knocked:
“Senior Brother Bai, I came to train with you.”
“Water Sister Miao, what a coincidence!” Bai Feng had just sent Su Lan Qian away when Water Miao Miao arrived again. “Didn’t I say we’d train tonight? Why are you here so early?”
“Hahaha… There’s nothing much at home, so I thought I’d come early just in case.”
Water Miao Miao averted her gaze slightly—she couldn’t quite say out loud that she kept wanting to read books when she was alone at home!
To conquer her own temptations, she arrived early at Bai Feng’s place. With others around, she figured she wouldn’t be tempted to read.
“Yeah, sometimes being alone at home can be quite boring,” Bai Feng nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a new idea struck him: “By the way, since you’re here, I’ll make something fun for you.”
“Ooh, what kind of fun thing?” Water Miao Miao’s curiosity was piqued instantly.
“Just you wait and see,” Bai Feng said with a little tease. “Alright, Water Sister Miao, come inside.”
Entering the room, Water Miao Miao looked around curiously. She had been here before when Bai Feng invited her to a barbecue, but back then she was too nervous, and their relationship still unfamiliar—so she didn’t pay much attention to her surroundings.
Bai Feng set out fruits and snacks on the table and poured her a cup of tea.
Watching Bai Feng pour water for her, Water Miao Miao instinctively hugged her arms, shrinking her body slightly. “Senior Brother Bai, please tell me what to do quickly, or I’ll get a little scared.”
“Just a game,” Bai Feng said casually, taking out a Shadow Remembrancer. “I plan to add a fun extension to the Shadow Remembrancer—something entertainment-related.”
“Entertainment?”
Water Miao Miao’s curiosity deepened. How could a Shadow Remembrancer be fun?
Could it be taking pictures of scenery or selfies? But that’s not related to games at all!
Wait—could it be for taking those kinds of photos……
“Wait a moment, I’ll create a cartridge for it.”
Bai Feng didn’t explain further. Instead, he took the Shadow Remembrancer into his usual Array room to work on the extension.
Water Miao Miao watched as Bai Feng entered the room, then she also stopped her train of thought, feeling a bit guilty and looking around nervously.
‘Hmm, with Bai Feng present, I don’t feel anything unusual… but now that I’m alone, I start to feel tense.’
She sneakily observed the items in the living room. Since it was her first time visiting Bai Feng’s home, she didn’t dare to make any reckless moves—just observing quietly.
‘His home is really simple, just some daily items, but Bai Feng doesn’t seem like someone with a harsh cultivation lifestyle!’ she mused. ‘Could the interesting stuff be hidden in the bedroom?’
From books she had read, many boys kept little secrets in their rooms—books, toys, or other hidden treasures. Could Bai Feng be the same?
She really wanted to peek into Bai Feng’s bedroom.
“Water Sister Miao…”
Suddenly, Water Miao Miao startled:
“Ahhh! I didn’t mean to go to Senior Brother Bai’s bedroom…”
She immediately reacted, covering her mouth with her hands and stiffly turning to Bai Feng, who now wore an expression that was half-smile, half-mischief.
“Water Sister Miao, what do you want to do in my bedroom?”
