Chapter 230: No Doubt About It, It’s Celestial Magic!
In the evening, Bai Feng gazed at the peacefully sleeping Bai Yu Mo in his arms and gently patted her head.
After a night of cultivation, his skills had leaped to the mid-Yuan Ying stage, and he was even on the cusp of the late stage, while Bai Yu Mo had blithely breezed through to the perfect Yuan Ying stage.
“No doubt about it, that’s celestial magic!”
Bai Feng mused to himself, but he figured that since it was their first time, the effect might not be as fantastic in the future.
“Umm…”
Bai Yu Mo slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing Bai Feng in front of her, her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red.
And just thinking about what had happened last night made her blush even more.
“Awake?” Bai Feng chuckled, noticing her shy demeanor.
“Yeah…”
She nodded but didn’t wiggle out of Bai Feng’s warm embrace. Instead, she savored the cozy moment a little longer.
Then she noticed the dimness inside the room and turned to check the curtains. Not seeing any sunlight filtering through, a hint of confusion crossed her face:
Hmm? Is it still not dawn? Or is today just a cloudy day?
Seeing her puzzled expression, Bai Feng chuckled and ruffled her hair: “It’s evening already, sleepyhead.”
“Evening?”
Her face turned crimson. They’d indeed worn themselves out last night, to the point that she couldn’t even remember when she had dozed off…
She slowly climbed out of bed and grabbed a piece of clothing to shield herself: “Um, I’ll go make dinner first.”
Then she spotted the mess on the bed and quickly snatched the sheets: “Uh, hold on, I should clean the sheets first!”
“Then I’ll get dinner ready. Perfect timing for you to taste my culinary skills!”
Seeing her flustered reaction, Bai Feng opted not to tease her more and instead suggested cheerfully.
“Okay, um, sorry for the trouble.”
Bai Yu Mo nodded. Once both of them got dressed, she grabbed the sheets and the blankets in a hurried panic and dashed out of the bedroom.
…
[Beep! Detected host has successfully conquered Bai Yu Mo’s body and mind, discovering a new method for subduing the Child of Destiny. Exemplary for a villain! Special reward: Luck Points +5200, Cultivation Speed Boost (lasting until Transformation God breakthrough), Yin Yang Pattern Fragment *1, Sword Path Fragment *1.]
As Bai Feng cooked, the newly popped-up system notification didn’t spark even a flicker of anger in him; instead, he felt oddly calm about it. Honestly, he found the system pretty considerate.
“Let’s check out the rewards first.”
The sword path fragment was straightforward—it would basically enhance his sword-themed talents.
He glanced at the cultivation speed boost, which would speed up his training significantly.
Then, he channeled his spirit power to give it a whirl, and sure enough, his speed picked up a bit. Although, compared to a genius like Bai Yu Mo, he was still lagging a tad. This boost seemed like it would work well for dual cultivation.
Hmm… let’s take a look at the Yin Yang Pattern fragment.
“I feel like every time the system blesses me with extra luck points, it throws one of these at me.”
Bai Feng grumbled mentally, though he had no complaints since it would enhance his divine consciousness.
But he recalled that merging with a Yin Yang Pattern fragment usually led to a trippy illusion. Best to whip up some food first and then meld after eating.
“Let’s make some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried green peppers with shredded meat.”
Even though he was capable of cooking a few dishes, Bai Feng knew he couldn’t compete with Bai Yu Mo, who specialized in gourmet recipes. Simpler, well-practiced dishes were the way to go.
Soon enough, two tasty dishes were set, and the rice he had started steaming was perfectly cooked.
As he carried the food and rice out of the kitchen, Bai Yu Mo pushed the door open and sauntered in.
Her eyes were glued to the floor, and she quietly muttered, “I-I’ve finished washing.”
“Thanks for your hard work! Come eat and see how my cooking holds up.”
“Mm…”
Bai Yu Mo nodded, rushing to sit beside Bai Feng. Yet, there lingered a sense of unrealness about the whole situation.
“What’s up?”
“N-nothing.”
Bai Yu Mo shook her head quickly. She then picked up her spoon and took a small bite of the food he made, unintentionally grinning as a smile crept into the corners of her mouth.
…
After they finished eating, while Bai Feng hadn’t yet stood up, Bai Yu Mo already quickly jumped up to clear the dishes and dashed toward the kitchen: “You just relax! I’ll handle the washing!”
“Now that I think about it, using some spells should make cleaning a breeze…”
Bai Feng mused in his mind, but seeing how much Bai Yu Mo seemed to enjoy doing all this, he decided not to shatter her joy.
“First, let’s merge that Yin Yang Pattern.”
He settled back on the sofa and took out the system’s reward—a Yin Yang Pattern fragment—to begin the merging process.
This time, instead of finding himself underwater, he appeared in a fragrant, vibrant place filled with birdsong.
He felt incredibly relaxed, with his consciousness drifting along with the wind.
Slowly, he floated in front of a house made of clay. The interior was bare, featuring just a table with some odd-patterned papers strewn across it.
He became captivated by the patterns on the papers, losing track of time as he got lost in their depths.
Suddenly, a gust of wind whipped through, sending the papers fluttering into the air, jolting him awake.
Bai Feng rubbed his head, and upon waking, he realized he had completely forgotten what those patterns looked like.
After pondering for a moment, he gave up and checked on his divine consciousness instead. Just as he suspected, it had significantly increased. Now, his level of awareness could rival even some dedicated Transformation God stage experts.
Plus, he had gained a new ability.
He raised his hand and sketched some symbols in the air, causing a series of array patterns to emerge, followed by a rudimentary array materializing before him.
If a master of arrays had been there, they would’ve been utterly astounded—this was a technique only those who had comprehended the art of arrays could perform, and with such talent, attaining immortality seemed like a sure thing.
“This Yin Yang Pattern granted me quite the nifty ability!”
Bai Feng casually manipulated the array patterns, and the formation before him morphed and evolved, increasing his survival abilities even further.
And the Portable Array Disk wasn’t obsolete yet! Even though he could perform arrays bare-handed, creating complex formations would still take a hefty amount of time. So, it was best to use both methods together.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Region, near the Central Continent, the air around a location began to distort, slowly revealing a scene that glimmered through the ripples.
“Huh? It’s here early?”
Yun Yue Yao opened her eyes, sheathing her sword resting on her lap, a hint of confusion appearing on her face.
Thankfully, she had been prepared; ever since returning to the Holy Land of Tian Yan, she hadn’t wasted a moment.
Though she hadn’t yet reached Transformation God stage, she was already at the perfect Yuan Ying stage, which was more than enough.
But rather than the secret realm, she was looking forward to something else:
“Finally, time for a reunion!”
