**Chapter 61: Child of Destiny: Don’t Mess with My Mind, Wake Up!**
“Right! I noticed the two monster beasts outside have stopped moving. Is someone controlling them?” Yu Yao suddenly had a thought and asked Bai Feng, “Were you fighting with the one controlling the monster beasts before?”
“Sort of,” Bai Feng nodded, “It’s a complicated story.”
Yu Yao pondered for a few seconds, her face showing a hint of danger for the first time: “Who’s controlling those monster beasts?”
“You wouldn’t want to know. Let’s talk after we leave or when we see Bai Yu Mo,” Bai Feng replied, shaking his head. After all, Ye Tang still had a reliable big brother image in the eyes of ordinary disciples, and it’s hard to believe that something this wild could be true.
It’s better to let the sect announce this after they leave; it will save a lot of explanation headaches.
He wasn’t hiding anything per se, since Ye Tang had collaborated with the Spirit Sealing Sect. There’s no way to keep that under wraps.
But he was curious, why did Ye Tang dare to collaborate with the Spirit Sealing Sect? Using his own disciples for his selfish desires and not treating them as fellow disciples? Any righteous sect would kick him out for such behavior, except for the Demon Path.
Or maybe he had some means to ensure the Spirit Sealing Sect’s disciples kept this under wraps?
And about the monster beasts he controlled—clearly not normal…
Anyway, thanks to Ye Tang choosing to screw over his own disciples in his collaboration with the Spirit Sealing Sect, Bai Feng felt free to take action against him. Such immoral behavior wouldn’t be given a free pass even if the sect found out.
Yu Yao thought for a moment but didn’t press further. She smiled and reached out to pat Bai Feng’s head: “Alright, little junior brother, you take a good rest. I won’t disturb you.”
“…”
Don’t take advantage of me when I can’t see clearly!
After patting his head, Yu Yao happily skipped out of the room, even closing the door behind her.
So, in the makeshift room, it was just Bai Feng lying down and Su Lan Qian, who was frozen in place.
“Forget it, I’ll rest for a bit.”
The array of the Spirit Sealing Sect had been utterly transformed by him. After losing control over the formation, the disciples of the Spirit Sealing Sect found themselves trapped in the array he made. Getting out would take considerable effort, but for now, it was still safe here.
As he closed his eyes, the fatigue of both body and mind swiftly whisked him into dreamland.
Bai Feng’s breathing became steady, and at that moment, Su Lan Qian, sitting nearby, slightly turned her head to look at him.
She reached up and gently sniffed the fabric on her shoulder. She had supported Bai Feng all the way, and it seemed his scent had lingered on her.
She could even feel it: her Heart Demon was the least active it had ever been now, much better than just standing next to Bai Feng.
‘This scent is so comforting.’
Su Lan Qian watched Bai Feng as he slept, swallowing hard. But then, she quickly shook her head, turning her face away and forcing herself to close her eyes to stop her racing thoughts.
……
“d*mn it, why has our array turned into this? Who did this?”
“Stop thinking and figure out how to break the array!”
“What about the big brother? Quickly ask the big brother to come help!”
“The big brother is still mumbling about illusions; what did he encounter?”
Inside the Spirit Sealing Sect’s formation, the place was in total chaos.
Long before Bai Feng and Ye Tang fought, they had already noticed someone had messed with the array. They had nearly lost all control—even the escape routes had been deleted.
Right now, the only way out was to break the array.
“What a disgrace, this is simply a shame for the Spirit Sealing Sect!”
“Don’t let me find out who it was!!”
Meanwhile, while the disciples of the Spirit Sealing Sect were in a fit of rage, the sect’s big brother, Yu Ping An, stood on a tree, muttering to himself.
“Big brother, come help us!”
Ignoring the cries of his disciples, he pretended not to hear:
“An illusion, it must be an illusion! How could anyone alter an array mid-way? Even if it were possible, not a Golden Core Stage disciple could do it! Don’t mess with my mind, wake up!”
On the other side, the man himself, Bai Feng, yawned while sitting on his bed.
He had slept comfortably, with the fatigue of body and mind eased significantly. Even his vision had improved slightly, though it was still far from clear.
“Um… do you want some porridge? I added a lot of spirit beast meat and herbs; it’ll help you recover faster.”
At that moment, a timid voice rang in his ear.
He instinctively turned his head, but could only see the outline of a person, as if covered in a layer of mist.
But even without seeing clearly, Bai Feng recognized the voice was Su Lan Qian’s.
“You can cook porridge too!” he nodded. “Just put it here; I’ll drink it myself later.”
Yet this time, Su Lan Qian didn’t act as obediently as before; instead, she mustered the courage to softly reply, “Your eyes… still aren’t clear, um… let me feed you…”
As she spoke, her face turned beet red, and even her hands trembled as she held the bowl.
Even though Bai Feng couldn’t see clearly, he could tell the person before him had flushed.
“If you don’t want to, don’t force yourself,” he said, shaking his head. He found this scene quite amusing as he gazed at the reddening figure.
“I don’t!” Su Lan Qian quickly shook her head, scooping up a spoonful of porridge mixed with spirit beast meat and holding it up to her lips, gently blowing on it. “Um, please open your mouth.”
Bai Feng didn’t think too much about it, immediately opening his mouth to drink the spoonful of porridge.
After finishing, he suddenly recalled something—wasn’t the Child of Destiny of the Spirit Sealing Sect pursuing Su Lan Qian? Would being fed porridge by Su Lan Qian give him Luck Points?
But when he opened the system, everything was as clear as ever, not clouded by any ‘white mist’, and there were no new notifications.
Odd, has the system turned a new leaf?
Or does it have to be in front of the Child of Destiny for him to know before it gives him Luck Points?
“Um, please open your mouth.”
“Ah…”
Forget it, I’ve eaten it now; what’s another spoonful?
Just as long as the Child of Destiny doesn’t find out, it’ll be fine.
Wait, am I thinking this is a bad idea? Am I getting a bit too big for my britches?
Bai Feng fell into deep thought.
No, this isn’t good. This time I’ve only crossed paths with one Child of Destiny. What if next time I encounter two? After all, this world is never short of Children of Destiny!
I need to stay focused and grounded!
“You keep resting. I’ll go wash the bowl.”
Su Lan Qian kept her head down, quickly walking out of the room while holding the empty bowl.
She discreetly glanced around, then picked a direction that had no one and walked away.
“Got it… finally.”
In an empty corner, Su Lan Qian picked up the spoon used by Bai Feng and subconsciously swallowed hard.
She gently touched the spoon with her fingertip, bringing her finger up to her face.
Just as she had assumed, even after being away from Bai Feng, her Heart Demon still didn’t appear.
‘What if it wasn’t finger contact but…’
Su Lan Qian instinctively thought, but then quickly shook her head, her ears turning bright red.
“No, no, I can’t do that! For now, let’s just put this away!”
She hurriedly pulled out a wooden box from her storage bag, carefully placing the spoon inside.
After doing all this, she walked out of the empty corner, though the flush on her face hadn’t faded.
