Chapter 561: How Many Do You Think are Good, huh? Three? Or Four?
“Hey, there’s nothing to shy away from, right?” Bai Feng looked down at Hu Yiyi, who looked a bit dazed, “Plus, you already guessed it, so denying it now would just be pointless.”
Especially since Hu Yiyi was the type who wouldn’t give up once she set her mind on something—he guessed she’d keep bothering him even if he denied it.
“So why didn’t you admit it before? And you said you’d help me find a tiger? You must have been just wanting to see the joke, huh?”
“…Not really,” Bai Feng slowly looked away, “First, it’s a bit hard to explain. I didn’t expect you would remember this so vividly, let alone for so long, and since you kept looking for a tiger—I didn’t want to shatter your fantasy.”
Of course, he did have a little laugh at the situation himself…
Hu Yiyi looked thoughtful for a few seconds, then reluctantly nodded: “Hmm, fine, I’ll take your word for it.”
“By the way, how did your brain become so sharp all of a sudden? Was my flaw that obvious?”
“Oh, I thought that the tiger was a disguise of yours, and then I looked for evidence,” Hu Yiyi explained confidently. “Your disguise was pretty convincing, but with my keen eye, I still found quite a few flaws.”
Ah, so it’s like shooting an arrow then drawing the bullseye—drawing conclusions first and then finding evidence… Wait?
“How did you figure it out ahead of time?”
Bai Feng was more puzzled now. He didn’t think he revealed anything in particular… how did Hu Yiyi guess?
Hu Yiyi suddenly puffed up proudly: “Look, you’re good at illusions, right? And at that time, I had no cultivation at all. Wasn’t invading my dreams straightforward for you? Plus, that tiger looked a lot like you, so I figured that tiger was a transformed you.”
A question mark slowly floated over Bai Feng’s mind: “That’s the reason? That’s a stretch…”
Couldn’t it just be that you dreamt it up spinning in your head?
“Hmm, let me put it another way,” Hu Yiyi put her chin on her hand, confidently. “It’s my intuition.”
Bai Feng: “……”
Hmm, very Hu Yiyi-esque—her terrifying intuition really makes no sense at all!
“So…” Hu Yiyi licked her lips, her body gradually rising in height until she was over 1.7 meters tall. She reached out and grabbed Bai Feng’s shoulder. “You should still remember our promise, right?”
“……”
Wait, you’re so direct? No transition at all?
“How many do you think is good to have? Three? Or four? Or…” Hu Yiyi’s breathing grew heavier. “Forget it, let’s just get them conceived first!”
Bai Feng raised his hand and knocked her on the head with a knuckle: “I won’t say whether I agree or not now, this is your dream after all. Even if you do something, it’s useless.”
“No worries, we can practice in the dream first!”
Hu Yiyi was not giving up; she clutched his clothes tightly, as if trying to tear them off.
“……”
d*mn it, does Hu Yiyi feel like a pervert or something?
“Stop!” Bai Feng reached out again to stop her. “Let me ask—do we even know each other for long? Where does your love for me even come from?”
“Lots of reasons, huh!” Hu Yiyi found it a bit baffling. “You helped me chase away enemies in my dreams, affirmed my dream, took care of me when I was seriously injured, and because I’m a monster tribe and you’re human tribe, you couldn’t keep me around to take care of me. Then you used your connections to send me to the Crane Clan in the Southern Region to train and fulfill my wish. Even after that, you didn’t immediately recognize me, but you still feed me delicious meatballs every day. I really can’t think of a reason not to have a litter of little tigers with you.”
“…Is that how it is?”
Seems like, in some sense, that’s exactly how it is…
“Anyway, my love for you is both sudden and seasoned over time.” Hu Yiyi stretched out her wicked hands again. “So, come have a litter of little tigers with me!!”
“I think we should take it slow…”
“That kind of thing can wait until after we have little tigers!”
“…What if I said no? What would you do?”
“I’ll ask you every day until you say yes!”
“……”
In a way, Hu Yiyi actually respects his opinions quite a bit.
“So… you don’t want to have little tigers with me?” Hu Yiyi’s strength was gradually easing, her face showing a bit of worry and nervousness, and her body shrank considerably.
Seeing the pitiful and helpless Hu Yiyi, Bai Feng reached out and placed his hand on her head. Whether it was Hu Yiyi’s accidental guess or her terrible intuition, he was just not very good at handling such situations.
“I just think it’s a bit too sudden.”
“Hmm…” Hu Yiyi tilted her head slightly. “Let’s put the idea of little tigers aside for now. We should first learn how to have little tigers and accumulate experience.”
“……”
So, your sudden understanding just means having little tigers, huh?
“Come on! By the way, do you prefer me to be bigger or smaller?”
“…Smaller, no, bigger.”
Well, after all, he’s not a loli enthusiast. Today, he’s going to prove it himself!
……
Prove what, huh? Whether big or small, he still loves o*al teeth!!
……
Bai Feng let out a breath. He believed that humans shouldn’t be overly concerned with others’ opinions and evaluations. Big or small, can’t he just be a perv who likes both sizes?
The big ones, the small ones—only then can he be considered healthy.
【Ding, detected host engaging in deception and mischief, successfully tricked Hu Yiyi’s innocence into following… cough, that’s quite over the line. Rewarding luck points +, and the protection of Fairy Tian Yan.】
‘Protection?’
Already mentally prepared, Bai Feng ignored the system’s slander and moved directly to the final reward phase.
Next moment, the copper coin given by Holy Master Tian Yan, which had been floating out from her, shimmered with a faint golden glow. He reached out to catch it, and immediately understood what Fairy Tian Yan’s protection was:
The system embedded a strand of Fairy Tian Yan’s divine consciousness into this copper coin crafted by her. When Bai Feng faces danger, her divine consciousness will erupt with the power comparable to that of an immortal to protect him.
‘No wonder the system is reliable—this reward really hits the mark every time!’
With this protection, he’d be more confident handling even divine consciousness from immortals later on.
【Ding, congratulations! The host has accumulated… well, a lot of luck points. To prevent the host from dying suddenly due to confronting the Child of Destiny, a special reward: the “Body Refining Methods,” derived from “Body Refining Technique,” including the “Body Refining Technique—Strengthening and Fitness Edition” and the “Body Refining Technique—Health Preservation Edition.”】
“……”
Thanks for that!
Bai Feng held back the urge to complain, took the system’s extra rewards, and decided to accept them. Previously, he might have confidently said he didn’t need these things, but with Hu Yiyi added to the mix, learning a bit more couldn’t hurt.
