Chapter 521: Sorry, I Lost Control Without Even Noticing
After Bai Feng successfully cheered up the knocked-out Little Jiu, he turned his gaze to Chu Chu, who had been staring at him intently. Caught in the act, Chu Chu swiftly bowed her head and averted her eyes.
“Take a break first. I’ll be your training coach from now on.”
“Okay!”
Chu Chu nodded eagerly, already beginning to look forward to the upcoming training session.
“I’m good at swordsmanship and illusion art. Even though you have Celestial Eyes, don’t underestimate me—I’m not so easily broken.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Chu Chu nodded seriously, not daring to underestimate Bai Feng, who had just healed her eyes and could be considered her semi-mentor.
…
Crash!
The dull clash of wooden swords echoed through the training ground. Chu Chu panted, glancing up at the three ‘Bai Fengs’ standing before her. Meanwhile, her dark eyes betrayed no hesitation, directly charging at the real Bai Feng.
“Wow, the Celestial Eye really is cheating…”
Bai Feng whispered in admiration, but unfortunately, his illusion art was not so simple.
In the next moment, Chu Chu’s wooden sword pierced right through his chest, causing his body to crack and fracture instantly, shattering into pieces with a loud bang.
The real Bai Feng was positioned behind the debris—she misjudged the distance, and her attack stopped just short of him, exposing a gap in her defense.
“Just a tiny little illusion trick,” Bai Feng chuckled with a smile, raising his wooden sword to slash at her.
Chu Chu could only hurriedly summon her Spirit Power to block him.
Bang!
A swift, muffled sound. Chu Chu’s wooden sword turned to splinters and flew past her, her eyes fixed on Bai Feng, a bit dazed. It wasn’t clear whether these days of brutal training had buried a pile of suppressed negative emotions in her heart—or if the aura of her powerful opponents like Bai Yu Mo made her feel an intense sense of crisis. At the start of the battle, a desire to attack surged from her subconscious.
As the fight progressed, that desire grew harder to control. When her wooden sword shattered, it seemed as if the string of her rationality snapped together with it…
Slowly, she let go of her sword handle and charged again at Bai Feng.
He didn’t seem surprised. Bai Feng also discarded his sword and raised his arm to catch the seemingly effortless punch.
“Hu…”
Chu Chu’s jet-black pupils stared intently, her small mouth exhaling hot gas continuously.
In the next moment, she reached out with her other hand to grab Bai Feng again, but Bai Feng raised his hand to block her.
Unlike Bai Feng, who had observed boxing with Yin Yang Pattern, Chu Chu was just wildly swinging without much rhyme or reason. She wasn’t trying to hit Bai Feng with her fists—she wanted to grab him.
Bai Feng didn’t rush to defeat her. Instead, he focused on defense. As time went on, Chu Chu’s face reflected growing impatience, as if she was about to lose her temper.
When her attack was again thwarted, her frustration finally boiled over. Intense emotions erupted from her body. Bai Feng seemed to be affected—the slow down of his movements by a second—giving her the perfect opportunity to pounce.
She tackled Bai Feng to the ground, grabbing both his wrists. Hot breath brushed against his face as she looked deeply into his black eyes. Then she slowly lowered her face.
“Mm… hmm…”
Half a minute later, Chu Chu lifted her head, panting. Her dark eyes were tinged with a hint of satisfaction. After fulfilling her desire and emotions, she seemed to regain some sanity.
“I…”
She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but suddenly Bai Feng stood up, grabbed her, and pressed his lips to hers.
“Mm…”
Her body gradually grew weaker. Her hands, which had been gripping Bai Feng’s arms tightly, relaxed little by little. She sank into his embrace.
“Are you calm now?”
Bai Feng’s voice whispered into her ear. Chu Chu was momentarily stunned. As her rationality returned, she realized what she had just done. Her face, along with her ears, turned scarlet.
“Sorry… I… I just couldn’t control myself…”
“No need to apologize. That was deliberate on my part,” Bai Feng said with a smile, shaking his head. “Releasing those feelings—feels better, right?”
As the ‘doctor’ who cured Chu Chu’s eyes, he had sensed something unusual in her mood yesterday. But considering her personality—and knowing she wasn’t willing to stop training—forcing her to rest might backfire even more.
So he decided to give her a heavy dose: let her vent her suppressed emotions, with himself as the medication.
“…Mm.”
Chu Chu lowered her head, nodding faintly. She felt a mix of embarrassment and confusion. She didn’t quite know how to face Bai Feng—she had just lost control, attacked him, and now she didn’t know what she had effectively done.
Even though Bai Feng had intentionally encouraged her to release her feelings, she couldn’t forgive herself. What if she had gone too far during her emotional outburst? How would she handle that if it happened again?
“Come on, stop overthinking,” Bai Feng said, tousling her hair with a gentle smile. “Or… do you not want to kiss me?”
“No, no! That’s not it! I… I really want to kiss you, but—this thing…”
Chu Chu panicked, words spilling out incoherently, even she herself didn’t quite know what she was trying to say.
“Remember when I told you before? Don’t suppress your emotions too much. Staying rational and keeping emotions in check isn’t wrong, but sometimes, not being so serious can be more fun.”
…
Chu Chu stared at the ground in silence. She understood that logic, but she knew herself—her emotions were lively, vibrant. She was worried that if she let go of her restraint, she might lose control and end up doing something that Bai Feng would dislike.
Bai Feng watched her closely. He could see that she wasn’t really afraid of losing control, but rather afraid of him disliking her, of losing her current peaceful life, so she preferred to keep everything as it was.
Though Chu Chu was Bai Yu Mo’s sister, she was very different from her. The lively emotions in her heart revealed her not being the cold, aloof type Bai Yu Mo seemed to be. In fact, unless something terrible happened, she’d probably be a very lively person.
But no ‘what ifs.’ The years of fleeing had forced her to stay rational—constantly suppressing her inner emotions, avoiding detection, and unintentionally becoming somewhat insecure and sensitive. This had shaped her into who she was now.
So, more heavy medicine it would be—if she didn’t like to change herself actively, then she’d just have to accept it passively.
He lowered his head slowly, leaning in closer to Chu Chu.
“Why not do this?” he suggested softly. “Hand your emotions over to me. Don’t try to suppress your rationality for a while. How about… just let it out?”
“But…”
Before Chu Chu finished protesting, a soft object suddenly covered her mouth.
Half a minute later, whatever was blocking her lips slowly moved away.
“What do you think?”
“…Mm.”
Chu Chu, almost leaning all her weight on Bai Feng, felt her mind turned into a chaotic mess. Even if Bai Feng hadn’t asked, she found it impossible to stay rational any longer.
