“Hmm.” Bai Yumo nodded, “But Father only found out recently.”

“…”

This was exactly how I imagined my father.

“Forget it, it’s not a big deal. Don’t take it to heart.”

Bai Feng waved his hand dismissively. He truly didn’t care. Ever since the villain system appeared, his attitude towards his sister had shifted from clinging to her for support to simply wanting to keep things peaceful.

Especially lately, he noticed that the system seemed a bit anxious due to his lackadaisical attitude, giving him luck points for even the smallest incidents.

If he complained a little, his sister would drop a small pearl of tears, and the system would probably take that opportunity to flood him with luck points.

He didn’t want to step outside only to be surrounded and beaten up by a bunch of luck children.

But the more he tried to reassure Bai Yumo, the more upset she became.

If Bai Feng had scolded her a bit, she might have felt a little better, but instead, he acted as if it didn’t matter at all, as if it was his duty as an older brother, just like when they were kids.

The more he acted this way, the more she felt despicable for distancing herself from Bai Feng due to her doubts and suspicions.

Moreover, Bai Feng didn’t cling to her or seek revenge; he started avoiding her to spare her feelings, even if it meant being misunderstood, he still cared for her.

She felt utterly wretched!

She wanted to slap herself hard when she woke up in the middle of the night.

“I… I’m really sorry…” With that thought, Bai Yumo sniffled, quickly taking a deep breath, turning her head to the side as if she were enduring something, “I’m sorry, I don’t deserve to be your sister.”

“Wait, just calm down for a second.”

Bai Feng was taken aback. Little sister, why aren’t you following the script? I don’t care, so why are you feeling wronged?

He instinctively glanced at the system, and sure enough, a notification popped up:

【Ding! Detected that the host has deeply upset a luck child, luck points +50. As this is the first time the host has actively manipulated the feelings of a luck child, a special reward of the celestial technique—Divine Forging Method has been granted. Hope the host continues to excel.】

‘What the hell!’

What do you mean “deeply upset”? What do you mean “actively manipulated feelings”?

Don’t lie with your eyes wide open! My sister hasn’t even cried yet!

Bai Feng suppressed his urge to complain. Right now, he had something more important to do than venting about the system.

He couldn’t let Bai Yumo go on like this; if she really cried, the system would probably give him even more luck points.

So, Bai Feng reached out and patted Bai Yumo’s back. “Alright, alright, calm down. Don’t overthink it. I didn’t say anything was wrong with you, and I’m not wronged either. I’ve been doing just fine these past few years!”

Bai Yumo glanced at Bai Feng, then looked around at the secluded environment, and finally lowered her head. A single tear slipped down from the corner of her eye: “I’m sorry…”

Bai Feng: “?”

What’s going on with you, little sister? The more I try to comfort you, the more wronged you feel?

While comforting her, he didn’t realize that it was only within Qinghong City that he wasn’t being wronged. At Tianjian Sect, rumors about Bai Feng’s disgrace were everywhere, and he hadn’t even changed out of his clothes since returning home; he still looked like a spoiled rich kid.

Saying such things was like stabbing a needle into Bai Yumo’s heart—quick, precise, and painful.

【Ding! Detected that the host has pressed the advantage, thoroughly crushing the luck child’s mentality, luck points +30, all attributes +3.】

‘…Shut up!’

Chapter 10: Bai Feng, you’re the worst!!

Bai Feng felt a headache coming on. Suddenly, he remembered why Bai Yumo had come to find him in the first place, so he quickly changed the subject. “Alright, alright, weren’t you planning to go out shopping? Let’s hurry up; if we’re late, the shops will close.”

Although he felt that shopping might lead to more trouble, if they didn’t go, something would definitely go wrong right now. He just wanted to get through this situation for the time being.

“Hmm…” Bai Yumo nodded through her sniffles, but her emotions were still too raw to dissipate easily.

She instinctively leaned towards Bai Feng but stopped midway, as if worried about something.

Bai Feng noticed her little gesture. To prevent the system from giving him more luck points, he decided to sacrifice a bit of himself.

So, he shifted from a pat to an embrace, pulling them closer together, and gently placed his hand on her head, stroking it softly.

It had been a long time since he had touched Yumo’s head; it still felt so comforting.

He could feel Bai Yumo’s body stiffen for a moment, but she didn’t stop him; instead, she let him continue.

Eventually, she buried her face in his shoulder, quietly sobbing.

Bai Feng didn’t move. Although the scene looked warm, he just wanted to wrap this up quickly.

It wasn’t until Bai Yumo’s sobs ceased that he lowered his hand from her head. “Feeling better?”

“Hmm…”

“Are we still going shopping?”

“Hmm!” This time, Bai Yumo’s tone was much more resolute. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face slightly flushed as she said, “I… I’ll go wash up first.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you at the door.”

Watching Bai Yumo hurriedly leave, Bai Feng opened the system, his mouth twitching slightly.

He quickly calculated that the luck points he had gained today had already reached a hundred, doubling his total.

At this rate, how could he not be surrounded and beaten up by the luck children?

He felt like Bai Yumo was a walking thunderstorm; one wrong move and the system would send out a notification.

Next, he had to accompany Yumo shopping, hoping nothing else would go awry.

Although he could refuse, he felt that if he did, something even more terrifying might happen, like the system giving him a major setback.

Goodbye to my once worry-free little sister.

…

“Sorry, I took a bit longer to wash up.”

Standing outside the door, Bai Feng turned towards the voice, his movements pausing for a second.

His expression was a bit strange; he opened his mouth to say something but ultimately closed it again.

In front of him, Bai Yumo wasn’t wearing the blue robe of a Tianjian Sect disciple but a purple dress. The ruffled edges of the skirt fluttered slightly in the wind, adding a touch of liveliness, and the purple hue enhanced her charm.

Bai Yumo’s face was slightly flushed, and her shy demeanor didn’t detract from her overall appearance; instead, it made her seem even more endearing, evoking a desire to hold her close and protect her.

But Bai Feng had no such thoughts because this outfit…

He had designed it himself.

What the heck, could Bai Yumo be a fan of his? That would be too strange!

He was now filled with the embarrassment of being discovered drawing inappropriate pictures by family.

Wait!

A sudden thought flashed through Bai Feng’s mind—if Bai Yumo knew his identity or was a fan, she definitely wouldn’t wear this outfit out in public.

This meant she had no idea where this outfit came from.

With that in mind, he cleared his throat and asked, “Ahem, when did you buy this outfit? It’s quite… um, quite a contrast.”

“It was recommended by a friend. They’ve made a lot of clothes, and they’re very popular among the female disciples of Tianjian Sect.”

Bai Yumo spoke softly, her head lowered, feeling that Bai Feng didn’t seem to like her outfit.

“It’s nice, just didn’t expect you to wear this style. I’m a bit taken aback.”

Bai Feng nodded with mixed feelings. Thankfully, this outfit wasn’t revealing; it was designed to be cute and innocent, otherwise, he would really struggle to look his sister in the eye.

“Hmm, I’m a bit unaccustomed to it too.”

“By the way, what made you want to change your outfit? I thought you’d stick with the Tianjian Sect disciple robes.”

Bai Feng didn’t want to delve deeper into this topic, fearing he might accidentally slip up, so he shifted the conversation.

Bai Yumo’s fingers fidgeted together, and after a few seconds of silence, she quietly said, “I just wanted to change my image a bit.”

She had made up her mind to repair her relationship with Bai Feng, but she also knew that the damage done over the years wouldn’t be easy to mend. So, she wanted to start with her appearance, at least to distinguish herself from her former self.

It was a small thought typical of a young girl.

“You’ve changed quite a bit.”

Bai Feng couldn’t help but tease. If he hadn’t known in advance, he wouldn’t even dare to recognize Bai Yumo walking down the street in this outfit.

Hearing Bai Feng’s teasing, Bai Yumo felt a bit happy inside.

She recalled the times they used to go shopping together as kids and reached out towards Bai Feng’s arm. But halfway through, she hesitated, looking at him as if asking for his permission.

“You don’t have to be so cautious. I won’t bite. If you want to hold my hand, just go ahead.”

Bai Feng directly extended his hand.
