After saying that, she shot a reproachful glance at Bai Feng, as if to say, "Why did you have to bring this up?"
"So, why are you two so close...?"
Yu Yao blinked and explained, "Of course we’re measuring our bodies! Otherwise, the clothes we make won’t fit."
"Really?"
Bai Yu Mo looked skeptical, but ultimately decided not to dwell on it.
She turned to Yu Yao, whose back was already damp with cold sweat, and said, "Senior Sister, the people from Zixiao Peak are looking for you."
"Oh, I’ll be right there." Yu Yao sighed in relief internally, then turned to Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo, "You should come too! We’ve prepared a lot of delicious food and fun activities."
Bai Feng returned to his lazy demeanor, "Can I skip it?"
"Come on, just think of it as me begging you." Yu Yao clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture.
Seeing Yu Yao’s humble demeanor, Bai Feng couldn’t bear to make it difficult for her; after all, he wasn’t a demon!
So, with a smile, he leaned closer to the window and said softly to Yu Yao, "But about the clothes..."
"I’ll make you another one!"
Yu Yao gritted her teeth and muttered something in a language Bai Yu Mo couldn’t understand.
"Alright." Bai Feng agreed, knowing they still had to collaborate and not wanting to push her too hard. To prevent Bai Yu Mo from catching on, he added, "Just give the new clothes to Bai Yu Mo; I only need one."
"Okay, let’s hurry!"
...
Bai Feng followed closely behind Yu Yao. He was willing to attend the gathering for two reasons: first, after a month of studying formations, he realized that researching formations really costs money, so he needed a steady source of funding.
Second, the luck dog was harmless before awakening; if it were another child of destiny, he wouldn’t have come even for money.
As he expected, upon arriving at the scene, he saw Luo Chen, the luck dog, bustling around, constantly handing out grilled meat to the senior and junior sisters. Not only did he not receive a thank you, but the meat he just handed over was passed to a younger junior brother standing nearby.
If one could overlook the behavior of the luck dog, Luo Chen was surprisingly reassuring.
"Yu Yao, you finally made it."
At that moment, a well-proportioned woman from Zixiao Peak approached with a smile. Given her familiarity with Yu Yao, she must be Senior Sister Ji from Zixiao Peak.
"Make yourselves comfortable, don’t be too stiff."
After saying this to Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo, Yu Yao quickly trotted over, likely to discuss some details about the gathering.
Bai Feng didn’t hold back and found an empty spot to sit down, with Bai Yu Mo following suit.
"There are quite a few people here."
Bai Feng glanced around and noticed many senior brothers and sisters he hadn’t met before. They greeted him with smiles, and he returned their gestures.
"Yu Mo, does Qingzhu Peak often hold events like this?" he asked curiously.
Bai Yu Mo shook her head, "No, this is the first time, so everyone is curious and came to check it out."
"That’s good."
Bai Feng sighed in relief; he didn’t want to be dragged into gatherings like this every so often.
"Brother, is there anything you want to eat? I can go get it for you." Bai Yu Mo noticed some fresh spirit beast meat being brought in and asked.
"Let’s go together."
Seeing the fresh spirit beast meat, various cooking methods flashed through Bai Feng’s mind.
He quickly led Bai Yu Mo toward the meat.
As they passed by Luo Chen’s area, he didn’t greet him but instead walked around.
At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yu, the junior brother from Zixiao Peak, who was being stuffed with grilled meat by several senior sisters, his plate piled high.
He had a sweet tongue but was rather insipid.
Wow, a child of destiny being so easily manipulated by this little guy—no wonder he’s considered one of the most useless luck dogs!
Bai Feng couldn’t help but scoff internally.
However, the child of destiny didn’t cause any trouble, and this little antagonist who had Lin Yu wrapped around his finger seemed a bit unstable.
When Lin Yu spotted Bai Yu Mo, his eyes lit up. Although he was already sixteen or seventeen, he still put on a childish act and called out to Bai Yu Mo, "Senior Sister Bai, wait a moment!"
Bai Yu Mo paused and turned to look, her expression somewhat cold.
She didn’t have a good impression of him, and since he interrupted her meal with Bai Feng, she wouldn’t have bothered to look at him if he weren’t a pampered junior brother from Zixiao Peak. She didn’t want to create conflict with Zixiao Peak, but otherwise, she wouldn’t have given him a second glance.
Seemingly startled by Bai Yu Mo’s indifferent demeanor, Lin Yu quickly lowered his head and said apologetically, "I’m sorry. I heard from the senior sister that it was you who helped deliver the elixir to Senior Sister Yu Yao. That’s how I managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so I wanted to express my gratitude. I was just too excited earlier."
"Oh, I just helped deliver it. You should thank Senior Brother Luo Chen instead."
Bai Yu Mo replied flatly, intending to continue following Bai Feng.
"But it was you who helped deliver it!" Lin Yu’s face turned a bit awkward, but he quickly masked it. He then picked up a plate piled high with grilled meat and, looking somewhat embarrassed, said, "I don’t have much to offer in return, but since you like grilled meat, why don’t you take this? I haven’t touched it, and I can’t eat it all anyway."
Bai Yu Mo frowned slightly; she didn’t appreciate his persistent nature, especially since he interrupted her time with Bai Feng.

Chapter 29: Are You Siblings Playing a Bit Too Hard?
Before Bai Yu Mo could react, Bai Feng stepped forward and stuffed a piece of grilled meat into his mouth.
"Mm, perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy and rich." Bai Feng nodded appreciatively. "Yu Mo, let’s grill some of this spirit beast meat too. I wonder if this junior brother can share how to grill such delicious meat?"
Lin Yu’s expression seemed to falter; he lowered his head and muttered, "It was given to me by a senior sister; I don’t know how to grill it."
"That’s a pity." Bai Feng shook his head and then moved closer to Bai Yu Mo. "Let’s go pick out some meat; grilling is best done ourselves."
He cast a subtle glance at the junior brother from Zixiao Peak. Selling green tea at Zixiao Peak was one thing, but trying to sell it at Qingzhu Peak? Did he think everyone else was as gullible as the luck dog?
"Mm."
Bai Yu Mo’s smile returned as she quickly followed Bai Feng away from Zixiao Peak.
At that moment, Lin Yu raised his head, watching Bai Feng’s retreating figure with a hint of resentment—how dare a talentless waste disturb him?
"Junior brother, stop staring at that cold meat; come try this piece instead."
Instantly, Lin Yu’s face lit up with a shy smile. "Sure, senior sister, you should eat too! This grilled meat is really delicious!"
