Chapter 544: You Are the Heavenly Way! How Can You Be So Bogus!
“Boost cultivation? What’s it to me… Wait a minute?”
Bai Feng was slow on the uptake at first, but then suddenly it clicked.
He looked over at Chu Chu—who seemed to have shyly looked away—and thought, *Wow, my healing effects must be pretty good. Even Chu Chu dares to bring this up.*
After saying what she did, Chu Chu, either overwhelmed by embarrassment or just realizing she might be stepping into a bit of taboo territory, lowered her head, turning brighter red. “Um… Sorry, forget I said anything.”
“I dunno when you figured this out…” Bai Feng reached out and placed his hand on her back of her hand. “But I’m happy you managed to express your feelings—see? My treatment must be really effective if you’re brave enough to say this.”
“So…” Chu Chu lifted her head again, looking at Bai Feng, her black eyes no longer seeming as dangerous.
“Want to get a bit closer?”
“Mm.”
Chu Chu nodded vigorously and then suddenly ‘pounced’ toward Bai Feng.
…
Now Bai Feng was gearing up to strike the Siku Family, so naturally, stronger was better, more secret cards were better. The simplest way to beef up—besides sheer effort—was to complete system missions…
Forget it, how else do I explain this? I just did it with Chu Chu—who cares!
“Hmm…”
Chu Chu, after practicing, was lying next to him. Maybe she dreamt of something funny because she pressed closer, clutching his arm tightly.
Bai Feng didn’t move; instead, he turned to look at her.
Though Chu Chu looked very similar to Bai Yu Mo, there were big differences—her *certain part* was definitely larger, cough—and Bai Yu Mo’s possessiveness and arrogance were stronger, plus her inner genius pride made her cling to him during practice.
Chu Chu, on the other hand, was the opposite. Her possessiveness wasn’t much less than Bai Yu Mo’s, but her rationality made up for it. Plus, her past experiences meant she wasn’t good at taking the initiative—though her passive side often mixed with some subtle assertiveness… her legs, for example, would *obstinately* move on their own… cough!
“Sure enough… practice really works.”
Suddenly, Chu Chu woke up. She checked her cultivation and muttered softly, but she still clung tightly to his arm.
“Are you regretting saying it a bit late?” Bai Feng teased with a smile.
“Maybe a little…” Chu Chu pulled her red little face into the quilt. “But I wouldn’t have dared bring it up before.”
Although with her revenge-driven mentality, she *should* have voiced it the moment she found out, her feelings for Bai Feng were very special. Fear of being disliked, alienated, or losing her bottom line for revenge… she preferred to take her time cultivating rather than making a move actively.
If Bai Feng hadn’t encouraged her not to suppress herself and responded when she expressed her feelings, she probably would have been as fearful of change as before—slowly practicing and avoiding action.
Bai Feng rubbed her head and asked, “Are you just resting a bit longer on the bed, or…?”
Before he finished, Chu Chu hurriedly slipped out of the quilt. “I’ll keep cultivating.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“I’m fine. Those minor injuries just now… Anyway, I’m in good shape now, since I’ve already entered the Refinement Stage.” Chu Chu’s face blushed even deeper. “And I’m in great condition now—can keep training.”
Seeing this, Bai Feng didn’t press further: “As long as you’re aware, I’ll have to exercise my authority as your doctor.”
“Mm. I won’t push myself.” Chu Chu nodded swiftly.
So Bai Feng didn’t say anything more; Chu Chu was very obedient to him in this matter.
A few minutes later, Bai Feng left the bedroom to prepare his assault on the Siku Family. Just then, the system’s notification finally arrived—finally.
【Ding, detected the host’s malicious acts of deception and wickedness, manipulating the luck of the Child of Destiny for revenge and personal gain, causing Chu Chu to gradually fall. This is profoundly evil. Rewards: Luck Points +, fully mastered version of the Extermination Sword Array (with complete experience, please enter the Trial Space to claim).】
“……“
What do you mean, manipulative deception? Be careful or I’ll sue you for defamation!
You’re the Heavenly Way! How can you be so fabricated in your stories?
Even though the system has lied multiple times, Bai Feng can’t hold back his laughter, especially after learning that it’s the *Heavenly Way* behind this mess.
Isn’t the Heavenly Way just supposed to handle the rules with no feelings involved? Why does this defamation sound so unlike the Heavenly Way?
He composed himself, glanced at the reward—though the Heavenly Way often makes stuff up, the rewards are pretty decent. With the full Extermination Sword Array, he felt more confident tackling the Siku Family.
After all, in a family that’s survived for countless years, there’s probably an old sleeping demon lurking around—he’s pretty sure because the Bai Family has one too.
“Too bad I only have two Immortal Swords right now. Would be even better with a few more.”
Bai Feng muttered, hoping the next system reward would include some more swords. But come to think of it, the system hadn’t handed him real physical items before—the closest was the Immortal Fire Burn Spirit, and that was just the one. Maybe the Heavenly Way system can’t deliver physical stuff?
Anyway, even though he knew the system’s true identity, he still couldn’t figure out the Heavenly Way’s true purpose. Why is it that the Celestial Realm’s Heavenly Way is hunting the Child of Destiny? Why has this world’s Heavenly Way shown no response? And where do all these luck-filled children even come from?
After pondering for a while, he called out his system assistant for answers. Of course, as expected, all it did was spout useless nonsense, like a tiny AI fool.
Looks like the Heavenly Way isn’t planning to have a deeper chat with him anytime soon.
“Ah, fine. Let’s go claim the reward first.”
This time, the system was considerate—knowing he was eager to strike at the Siku Family, it even included full mastery of the Extermination Sword Array experience.
His consciousness entered the system’s Trial Space. After receiving the reward, he appeared in a dense forest—if memory served, this was the place he broke through to the Refinement Stage.
【Ding, before the host learns the Extermination Sword Array, the outside world remains perfectly still—so rest assured while learning. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask the little assistant.】
Bai Feng: “……”
So, Heavenly Way, you’re saying that the fully mastered experience just means I have to learn it myself, right? Who did you learn your nonsense from? Spill it—did you go to some goose or pig school?
After a moment of complaining about the system, Bai Feng finally started learning. After all, the reward *was* pretty useful!
