Chapter 445: Yu Yao: Elbow, follow me into the house!
Bai Feng labored for half a day to drag the wild-eyed Yu Yao back to Yu Ling Long, feeling like tomorrow’s rumors about him will just pile up higher and higher.
“Senior Sister, are you done being so excited?” he asked while cradling Yu Yao’s armpits and lifting her up.
“No!” Yu Yao broke free and lunged back at him, her soft little mouth launching a fierce attack on his face. “Little Junior Brother, I really, really like you’s teeth!”
“……”
Forget it. Think positive—at least when Yu Yao went berserk, she didn’t strip him n*ked.
“Alright, Senior Sister, let’s go check out the other array modifications,” Bai Feng once again scooped Yu Yao up, this time sandwiching her under his arms.
“Little Junior Brother, let go! I haven’t kissed enough yet!”
“……Hopefully, after you finish your tantrum, you won’t be shy and hide away.”
Bai Feng rolled his eyes as he ‘carried’ Yu Yao towards the interior of Yu Ling Long.
“I’ve upgraded a few Image Retainers, entered their products online so customers can see detailed descriptions,” he said. “Once Yu Ling Long sets up its own website, people can even place orders directly from there.”
“I didn’t do much to the auction house, mainly added a connection to a Communication Device, so customers can check items and bid right from their own devices.”
After walking around Yu Ling Long, Bai Feng finally set Yu Yao down, ‘still holding’ her.
“That’s roughly it. Due to time constraints and most of my attention devoted outside on the screens, internal improvements aren’t that many,” he summarized.
“Little Junior Brother……”
“What’s up, Senior Sister? Got some good advice?”
“No.” Yu Yao shook her head, looking surprisingly calm. Then she extended her hand and grabbed Bai Feng’s wrist. “Senior Sister’s a little too excited right now. I want to let it all out.”
“So?”
“Elbow, follow me into the house!”
……
Did Yu Yao’s madness finally reach this point?
……
“All done here, time to head back to the sect.”
Bai Feng sat on the windowsill, tossing some millet and popping some popcorn for a pigeon nearby.
He thought that after massaging Ling Lan once, she’d steer clear of him for a while. But no, this pigeon acted like nothing had happened, the next day fluttering right back, even squeezing into his hand.
‘Could it be that this guy likes being massaged?’
Bai Feng gently scratched the pigeon’s head with his finger. The pigeon squinted happily, leaning into his touch as if he were having the time of his life.
A few more gentle massages later, he set the content pigeon on the sofa and pushed open the door. He was about to leave to report back to his Old Man.
Just a few steps out, he saw Yu Yao sitting in the yard, staring off into space. So Bai Feng wandered over to her.
“Senior Sister, good morning!”
“Morning, morning! Little Junior Brother!”
At the moment Yu Yao saw Bai Feng, her face instantly turned beet red.
She remembered that day when she finished the array and got so excited she went berserk, then deliberately pulled Bai Feng into her room…
Ugh, so embarrassing!
Seeing her bashful look, Bai Feng couldn’t help but chuckle — she was so forward during her freak-out, but now her face was all shy and she was stammering.
But he didn’t tease her. Instead, he grinned and said, “Senior Sister, we should prepare to head back to the sect. If there’s anything you still need to do, better do it quickly!”
“Uh, okay.”
Yu Yao nodded hurriedly. The two exchanged a few more words before Bai Feng left. Only then did she release a small breath of relief and touch her cheeks, which still felt hot and flushed.
Really, now—even after all that, she still blushes so easily…
She couldn’t help but think to herself, recalling the wild day, and her face deepened red once again.
……
“Dad, I suppose it’s about time I head back to the sect.”
Bai Feng entered the house, sat at the other side of the table, and poured himself some tea.
“Hmm, as a Peak Lord, you’ve been gone quite a while,” Bai Tian You put down his Communication Device and nodded. “Go back and focus on cultivating. Though you’ve already reached Refinement Stage…”
He paused, eyes flickering with disbelief. He still couldn’t quite believe that annoying kid had actually advanced to Refinement Stage.
Could it be that his son was secretly a genius, only held back by some blow to his confidence in the past?
Thinking about it, Bai Tian You realized that Bai Feng’s talent seemed to really shine only after he and Bai Yu Mo became close.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh. d*mn it, Third Elder—you’re dead meat! Though Yu Mo spared your life out of kindness and only ruined your cultivation, don’t think you’ll get to live peacefully thereafter!
Bai Feng blinked, confused.
What was his Old Man so worked up about?
“*Cough!*” Bai Tian You cleared his throat, forcing himself to stop rambling. Then he continued, “You’re already at Refinement Stage, but don’t be prideful. The world isn’t what it used to be. Even your old dad wouldn’t dare to trip outside now.”
“Got it,” Bai Feng nodded, though as for pride—
As long as the system keeps feeding him Luck Points, and as long as there’s a Child of Destiny in this world, he wasn’t about to get too cocky.
“By the way,” Bai Tian You suddenly seemed to recall something, eyeing Bai Feng with a strange expression. “What’s your relationship with the daughter of the Yu Ling Long family? I’ve heard you were hugging and cuddling her on the street for days now—what’s going on?”
“Uh, well, we get along pretty well.”
“Even if so, you shouldn’t be that intimate in public, right?” Bai Tian You frowned slightly.
“We’re that close,” Bai Feng nodded.
……
Suddenly, Bai Tian You fell silent. He looked at Bai Feng, hesitating as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t quite bring himself to.
After a long moment, he finally managed to utter, “Does Yu Mo know about this?”
Bai Feng nodded. “Knows.”
“And Yun Yue Yao?”
“Also knows.” Bai Feng nodded again.
Bai Tian You sighed deeply, leaning back slightly, eyes flickering with subtle change.
Thought he was just a pig gobbling his own cabbage and his neighbor’s cabbage, but turns out he was a wild boar sneaking into the village’s big vegetable garden, rooting around for multiple cabbages.
Finally, he waved his hand. “Fine, I won’t interfere with your young folks’ affairs. Handle it yourselves.”
d*mn it. Only Yu Mo’s part was manageable—her father was a good friend of him and Old Yun, after all. But with the addition of Yu Ling Long’s daughter, that was another story. Now, he was even more afraid of what Old Yun would do once he found out.
He didn’t really want to get involved anymore.
