Chapter 349: Tian Yan: I Protest!
Bai Feng was watching the endless stream of guests entering Yu Ling Long and couldn’t help but murmur inside: No wonder Yu Yao keeps saying she should open a few more assembly lines, and just added a few quick-training classes for new employees.
Once these buyers of communicators go back, they’ll definitely help promote, and then more people will buy—probably in droves.
Just then, a sudden noise sounded not far ahead:
“Someone’s still over there! Don’t let him run away!”
“This bunch of Demon Path scoundrels dares to sneak in? Totally clueless about d*ath!”
A figure was swooping toward them, flying through the air. Behind him, three cultivators dressed in Heavenly Sword Sect robes were chasing on their swords, while more disciples from other sects gathered around, watching the chaos.
Bai Feng took a glance at the person being chased. His cultivation was probably Yuan Ying Full Circle—looks like a Demon Path spy out exploring the intel.
When this Demon Path spy saw Bai Feng, he didn’t foolishly rush over but instead made a quick turn to dash in another direction.
Next to him, Little Jiu raised her paw, seemingly eager to jump in. But in the next second, the Demon Path cultivator suddenly stopped in his tracks, though his expression was still frantic, occasionally glancing back.
“Senior Brother Bai!”
“As expected of Senior Brother Bai! Just one look and that d*mn Demon Path scoundrel is done for!”
The three Heavenly Sword Sect disciples chasing after the spy also saw Bai Feng. Two of them seized the stunned Demon Path spy and the other came over to thank Bai Feng: “Thanks a lot, Senior Brother Bai!”
“Not a big deal.” Bai Feng waved dismissively, then curiously asked, “This guy sent by the Demon Path?”
“Yes.” The Heavenly Sword Sect disciple nodded. “We managed to catch them largely thanks to you, Senior Brother Bai. These spies all bought communicators—they often post wrong and malicious info on the forums to ruin the atmosphere, even almost causing two rival sects to fight each other. They’re brazen enough to exchange combat tactics via pigeon messages. That’s how we found out—they’re definitely Demonic Path spies.”
“…”
Bai Feng felt a bit speechless. These Demon Path spies are pretty dumb, huh? They knew to buy communicators and stir up trouble on the forum, but then—wait—they *were* the ones stirring trouble on the forum after buying the communicator? Wow.
After sending off the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples who had caught the spy, Bai Feng didn’t linger. He found a inn to rest and regroup.
“Let’s get three rooms—me and my dear stay in one, and you guys get your own.”
Yun Yue Yao suggested with her hand raised.
Bai Yu Mo flatly objected: “Why not me and my brother in one, and you and Tian Yan in another?”
Seeing the two arguing, Tian Yan also tentatively proposed: “Why don’t we all stay in one? Just give me the little bed you guys bought for me.”
“…Shut up.” Bai Feng reached out and pressed her raised little paw. Tian Yan, what are you meddling for?
Meanwhile, inside, he was feeling somewhat speechless—Tian Yan was almost like a floating accessory now. Wherever he went, Tian Yan was sneaking right behind.
He then looked over at Yun Yue Yao and Bai Yu Mo, still bickering, and decisively said: “Four rooms—one for each of us.”
“No way! What if she barges in during the middle of the night?”
“Yeah, what if she stays in your room overnight?”
Bai Yu Mo and Yun Yue Yao pointed fingers at each other.
At his feet, Little Jiu raised her paw and asked: “What about me?”
“…You two stay with me, and Tian Yan can have her own room,” Bai Feng said. Then he reached down to grab Little Jiu: “You’re a spiritual pet—thinking you still want your own room? Stay with me!”
“Bah! I am a noble Nine-Tailed Fox, I am not a pet…”
Little Jiu protested a few words, but Yun Yue Yao shot her a look, and suddenly, she fell silent.
Next, Tian Yan slowly raised her little hand: “I protest.”
“Protest invalid,” Bai Feng ignored her protest. Honestly, the more Tian Yan mingled around, the more shameless she seemed.
And what are you sneaking in for? Trying to snatch some cream in the middle of the night?
Finally, Tian Yan exposed her true purpose: “Then give me a cake, and I’ll be willing to stay in my own room.”
“…Fine.” Bai Feng rubbed his forehead. Given how he knew Tian Yan, if he didn’t give her a cake, she’d keep pestering, so just give her the cake to shut her up.
……
“d*mn, was I discovered?”
A woman halted her steps, glancing around before five black-clad figures emerged from the dark forest and completely surrounded her.
“Come quietly—you can’t escape.”
“There’s an old saying among the righteous: ‘Recognize the trends and be a hero,’ if you give up resisting and come back with us, maybe Lady Black Lotus will spare your life.”
“Hundred Faced Saintess, I thought you were pretty clever before. Why the sudden dumbness? Did you get so infatuated with a man that you let Dou Dou think for you?”
In face of the black-clad taunts, the Hundred Faced Saintess just looked down at the Black Lotus pattern on her arm—one reason they could find her so quickly.
Then she suddenly smiled: “I have no interest in being a disposable firecracker, and with you guys thinking you can leave me behind?”
“Hah, I admit you used to be strong, but now I’ve already reached Transformation God Stage, and we’re five on one!”
The Hundred Faced Saintess was completely unafraid, laughing softly: “Just a bunch of useless trash packed with gunpowder.”
After saying that, she charged at the nearest one, unleashing her powerful Spirit Power, ripping the forest apart in a display of chaos.
……
Bai Feng slowly opened his eyes, seeing two people hugging his arms on either side and Little Jiu curled up under a blanket on top of him. No wonder it always felt like something was pressing down on him while sleeping. Should have just let Little Jiu have her own room.
He struggled to lift his arm from one person’s embrace, sat up, then reached out to pick up Little Jiu and fondle her head.
Then he casually opened his system to see a chart of a Child of Destiny moving around in the city.
‘Huh, there are really a lot of Child of Destiny here.’
He sighed, but he’d already guessed this—after all, they’re close to Demonic Path territory, so it’s normal for Child of Destiny to return for rest after battles. He just didn’t expect *so* many so fast.
Fortunately, only one so far. Easy enough to dodge—just keep an eye on her.
“Brother?” This time, Bai Yu Mo rubbed her eyes and sat up: “Is it already morning?”
Meanwhile, Yun Yue Yao also sat up from the bed: “Darling, why are you waking up so early today? Do you want to—”
“Hey, we’re outside! Could you please be a little more alert?” Bai Feng gently tapped Yun Yue Yao’s head full of discarded materials, then glanced at all the rooms—why pick the one with only a single bed?
Last night, he barely slept, especially because Yun Yue Yao kept fidgeting and trying to get into his clothes while sleeping.
“It’s called ending conflicts early,” Yun Yue Yao smirked, “And since everyone’s sleeping on the same bed, you don’t have to worry about someone sneaking into your bed in the middle of the night.”
Bai Feng: “…?”
