Chapter 451: Bai Feng: I think your behavior is more dangerous.
“Big Brother, can you help me restart the virtual training again?”
Little Qi tilted her head slightly, whispering to Bai Feng.
“Restart?”
Bai Feng paused first, then realized Little Qi was talking about rebooting the world.
He had indeed helped her restart once before, but that time was because she had assassinated a boastful granddaughter of a major sect elder during virtual training. However, her methods were still a bit immature, exposing her identity as a killer, which led to her being hunted by the sect forever. Basically, it was a bad take, so he rebooted everything to help her out.
Now, what’s the deal this time? Did she once again off a descendant of some major sect elder in the virtual world?
Seeing Bai Feng’s puzzled look, Little Qi continued whispering, “There are no suitable targets left on the assassination list. The remaining ones are either too weak or I can’t beat them.”
…
Wow. Turns out, she’s already taken out all the suitable opponents on the list.
But Bai Feng didn’t refuse. If Little Qi was coming to him to restart the world, it meant she still remembered their promise.
“Alright, no problem. Hang on a moment.”
“Thanks, Big Brother.”
Little Qi buried her face in Bai Feng’s embrace, pressing closer and clutching his clothes with even more force.
If she could see her eyes, she’d notice her normally light-colored pupils were glowing faintly red right now.
‘Big Brother…’
A powerful urge suddenly surged in her heart—she wanted to hold Bai Feng tighter, to possess him, even to… tie him down by her side.
‘Ugh…’
Little Qi shook her head softly, slowly releasing her grip and taking a step back, unaffected by the emotions welling up inside.
At the same time, her little face grew more puzzled. Recently, this intense emotion had become more frequent—like the impulse to keep killing after solving a target in virtual training. Though she was able to suppress her feelings, she still felt a little scared inside.
“Little Qi, what’s wrong?”
Bai Feng watched as the Little Girl stepped back, leaving his arms. Noticing her unusual behavior, he felt something was off—remember, she’d never acted like that before.
“I think I feel a bit off…”
Little Qi lowered her head, softly explaining like a guilty little girl.
Hearing her words, Bai Feng pondered deeply. He didn’t blame her impulses entirely on destiny, nor did he think her emotions were influenced by some so-called fate.
He slowly reached out, placing a hand on her head. “Don’t worry. You’re probably just tired. Don’t enter virtual training for a few days. Come help me with a game, and relax, alright?”
“Mm.” Little Qi nodded, resisting her inner urge, taking another step back.
But this time, Bai Feng didn’t let her go. Instead, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. “Stop always stepping back. Running away all the time might do more harm than good.”
“But…” Little Qi instinctively grabbed Bai Feng’s arm, lowering her head and closing her eyes.
“Since you said you want to relax, let’s start now,” Bai Feng rubbed her little head. “The first step to relaxation is to loosen up your tension—stop holding onto those strict rules you set for yourself. Just let go a little, okay?”
“What do you mean?”
Little Qi lifted her head slightly, her face full of confusion.
Bai Feng looked into her eyes, which shimmered with a faint red glow, and smiled as he gently rubbed her small face. “Exactly what it says—don’t worry about me, don’t think about being the good girl in my eyes.”
This was also something he only recently realized: after the virtual training incident, he hadn’t ignored her. Instead, he’d been observing and pondering. That’s when he noticed that Little Qi seemed to be constantly tensing and restricting herself—not for himself, but for him. Or rather, she wanted to be the obedient little sister he saw.
It was one of the reasons he guessed her emotional outbursts weren’t just due to fate. Probably, she was suppressing her own thoughts deep inside. Even with Bai Family’s protection, others wouldn’t dare attack openly, but they’d give dirty looks or show contempt behind her back—obvious enough to cause discomfort.
“But…” Little Qi shook her head, resisting Bai Feng’s suggestion strongly.
Seeing this, Bai Feng didn’t force her. He knew he was getting a little impatient: “Alright, alright. If you don’t want to, fine. But I still hope you can loosen up a bit. Don’t be so tense all the time. Just a small request from big brother, okay?”
“…Mm.” Little Qi didn’t refuse this time, simply nodding softly.
“Good. Then let’s relax properly,” Bai Feng’s face returned a faint smile. “Is there anything you want to do?”
Little Qi shook her head. “I’ll follow Big Brother’s lead.”
“Remember our little promise?” Bai Feng slightly leaned forward. “Don’t be so tense all the time. Tell me if there’s something you want to play—we can do anything you wish.”
Little Qi silently pondered for a few seconds, then voiced her small wish: “…I just want to lie beside Big Brother and sleep for a while.”
“Okay, then let’s go sleep.”
After speaking, Bai Feng reached out and lifted Little Qi.
…
“I think your actions are a bit dangerous,” Tian Yan appeared beside Bai Feng, watching the sleeping Little Qi and speaking.
“…I think your actions are even more dangerous,” Bai Feng said helplessly.
Tian Yan, lying on his side and supporting her cheek with one hand, said, “But you’re right about one thing—her being so repressed is definitely a recipe for trouble.”
“So, what do you suggest?”
“Nothing.” Tian Yan shook her head. “I’m just a fortune-teller—I can tell you there might be danger, but I can’t give you plans or strategies.”
“So, you just showed up to remind me?”
Tian Yan shook her head. “Nope. I’ve finished my cake. Remember to make me a few more later.”
“…You really should eat less—you’ll worry about your weight if you keep going like that.”
“Never! Cultivators like us don’t get fat just from a few small cakes.” Tian Yan scoffed and waved her hand dismissively. “But if you’re that concerned, I’ll work out a little more. Next time I ascend…”
“Ugh…”
At that moment, Little Qi suddenly made a sound, gripping Bai Feng’s sleeve even more tightly.
Bai Feng turned his head to look at Tian Yan, who was already gone—what was she even talking about just now?
“Big Brother…”
“Little Qi, what’s wrong?”
Bai Feng turned to see her staring at him with wide eyes.
“I think I just dreamt about other people, and she seemed to want to steal something…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but her small hands clutching his sleeve tightly gave it away—the last part she didn’t say aloud.
‘Just now, a golden twin-tailed girl appeared.’
Bai Feng internally rolled his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he reached out and gently tousled her hair.
As he stroked her head, Little Qi’s unease seemed to gradually fade. She shifted slightly closer to Bai Feng and closed her eyes, breathing evenly.
