Chapter 518: Do you have anything in your brain besides “sexy” stuff?
Suddenly, Shui Miao Miao posted a picture. In the photo, she’s munching on a snack, looking innocent enough, but if you look closely, it seems she’s leaning on someone’s shoulder. Shui Xi Yu immediately recognized that she was leaning on Bai Feng’s shoulder.
Shui Miao Miao!!!
When did things get so fast between them?
If she hadn’t promised Master Sister Yu Yao to be the Eastern Continent Empress, then could the person beside Bai Feng be her?
d*mn it! Shui Miao Miao was supposed to be the future Empress of the Eastern Continent, now she’s flaunting her riches in the Northern Region, whispering sweet nothings with her most beloved teacher, while she can only spend her days dealing with official documents and looking at Shui Miao Miao’s pics…
Thinking of this, her mood instantly shattered. Her body trembled uncontrollably—she was practically dying to storm over to the Northern Region and wrest Bai Feng away from Shui Miao Miao!
Although she had already guessed that with Teacher’s charm, Shui Miao Miao might… but seeing this photo still hit her hard and was hard to swallow.
She took a deep breath, restraining her rebellious thoughts—Shui Miao Miao, just wait. When I finish dealing with all this nonsense, I’m coming to the Northern Region to find you!!
Meanwhile, Shui Miao Miao, who was happily nibbling on the baked snacks baked by Bai Feng, suddenly shivered. She quickly pulled her clothes tighter around her.
Weird, why do I feel cold all of a sudden?
She reached out to touch her clothes. She was sure she had dressed properly before leaving—could someone be muttering about her?
She paused for a few seconds, then looked at the photo she just posted. Her friends were few—mainly Bai Feng, little sister, and others. And when she posted these casual life pics, she deliberately avoided Master Sister Yu Yao and the others.
Could it be that little sister has feelings for Bai Feng, saw her post, recognized her beside Bai Feng, and decided to rush to the Northern Region to find her? Impossible!
Shui Miao Miao chuckled at her own vivid imagination, but after a moment, she still deleted the photo.
“Um, Senior Brother Bai…” After deleting the photo, she quietly tilted her head towards Bai Feng, her tone shy, “When will you teach me painting techniques again?”
“Are you sure you want to learn painting techniques?”
Bai Feng shot her a sidelong glance. Ever since they confirmed their feelings, Shui Miao Miao stopped pretending. His rich theoretical knowledge finally found an outlet—luckily, his theory and practical experience far outmatched hers, which helped keep her in check.
“Hehe… I still don’t quite get the things you taught before,” Shui Miao Miao grinned, scratching her cheek.
“…If you just focused during lessons instead of daydreaming… with your talent, you would’ve learned already,” Bai Feng said.
“This time, I’ll definitely learn it!”
“Forget it. Maybe my teaching method isn’t good enough, your brain just isn’t turning the right way,” Bai Feng shook his head. “This time, I’ll try a different way, and I guarantee it’ll stick with you.”
“Oh! What is it?”
Shui Miao Miao’s curiosity skyrocketed.
“Very simple. Since you always daydream and can’t concentrate, we’ll start with practical exercises. At least get you focused on learning. If you still can’t learn… then…”
She instinctively interrupted, “Ai Cao?”
Bai Feng blinked, confused.
You’ve got nothing else in your brain besides “sexy,” huh?
…
“Ha! The Siku Family has the nerve to send me letters,” Chu Chu snatched a sealed envelope. She casually opened it and took a quick glance, then unleashed her overwhelming spirit power, turning the letter into dust.
She simply couldn’t understand—how dare those fools who caused her to lose her Celestial Eye and saw her parents d*e miserably, come and talk about reconciliation?
Just then, she heard knocking on her door. She quickly calmed herself down, put on her eye mask to cover her eyes, and went to open the door.
“Bai Feng? Why are you here? Is something the matter?”
Chu Chu shifted aside, ready to invite Bai Feng inside.
“I received a letter and a gift today.” Bai Feng didn’t rush in but glanced at Bai Yu Mo beside him. “Yu Mo received one too. I guess you have one as well?”
Hearing Bai Feng’s words, Chu Chu’s fingers instinctively clenched—these sc*m from the Siku Family bothering her was one thing, but daring to disturb Bai Feng was another. Were they planning to start with someone close to her?
Bai Feng sensed Chu Chu’s emotional wave, even under the influence of her Celestial Eye, and felt a tiny bit annoyed.
He extended a hand to her shoulder. “Calm down first.”
“Sorry…,” Chu Chu hastily took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.
“It’s understandable. If my enemies suddenly showed up like that, I’d be really mad too,” Bai Feng comforted her. “Think positively—they’re sending you a letter because they’re starting to fear you. They even went all out for this, sending such a precious thing.”
He then took a small box from his ring: a rare Nine-Turn Spirit Bamboo, carved with half a line of celestial rune markings. “Not sure where they got this, but it’s quite valuable.”
“Is it really that precious?” Chu Chu, with her eyes covered, looked at the gift box Bai Feng held. She murmured softly, as if questioning not him but herself.
Bai Feng didn’t seem to notice her hesitation and continued explaining, “For ordinary Array Masters, the Nine-Turn Spirit Bamboo is one of the best materials for illusion arrays. And with half a line of Array rune, its appeal to normal Array Masters is enormous.”
“So… should we keep it?”
“Don’t ask me. Ask yourself,” Bai Feng chuckled, handing her the box. “I’m not the one with a grudge against the Siku Family. I have no right to decide for you. Whatever decision you make, I support you.”
Chu Chu stared at the box for a few seconds, conflicted.
“Ugh~!”
She quickly reached out to cover her forehead, while Bai Feng, standing opposite her, slowly retracted his finger from her forehead.
“Don’t always think so much about other people. Think about yourself more,” Bai Feng said softly.
Chu Chu lowered her head slightly, whispering, “But… you’ve helped me so much…”
Without meeting Bai Feng’s eyes, she felt she might have already died without him.
“So, if someone innocently sends you a gift without my knowing, you’re going to let go of your hatred just like that?” Bai Feng felt she was a bit of a problematic child. She seemed to place her own status far below him—willing to suffer big losses first, just to prioritize his interests. Maybe it’s related to her past experiences; she’s afraid of him hating her, of losing her current life.
He gently removed her eye mask and gazed into her pitch-black pupils, serious as ever. “Stop overthinking. Just tell me what’s in your heart—what do you really want?”
Chu Chu instinctively wanted to dodge, but her body and even her head were firmly held in place by Bai Feng, unable to look away.
Under his gaze, she clenched her teeth and voiced her deepest desire:
“…I want revenge.”
