“Not at all, I just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage and still can’t control it very well,” Lin Yu said, his face slightly flushed with embarrassment. “I’m sorry for worrying you, Senior Sister. I feel so useless for not being able to control it after all this time.”

“Don’t say that about yourself. You’re a genius from Zixiao Peak,” the Senior Sister said, picking up her chopsticks and holding a piece of grilled meat up to his mouth. “Come on, open up and eat a piece of grilled meat.”

“No, it’s fine. I can do it myself.”

Despite his words, Lin Yu still opened his mouth.

Not far away, Bai Feng watched this scene and felt a bit nauseated.

What a fine tea! Truly excellent green tea!

If he remembered correctly, the one feeding Lin Yu should be Luo Chen’s junior sister, right?

He glanced back at Luo Chen. Oh, he was still grilling meat.

No wonder I consider him the luckiest child of destiny!

Bai Feng quickly averted his gaze and hurriedly walked away from this nauseating scene.

…

After that, Bai Feng and Bai Yumo were not disturbed while grilling meat; at most, they exchanged greetings with passersby.

It seemed that the influence of Chu Ningyan, the master of Qingzhu Peak, had made the disciples there quite easygoing, and there was no crowd of seniors bombarding him with questions.

After all, his reputation in the Tianjian Sect, whether good or bad, was quite significant.

At this moment, Bai Yumo quietly picked up a piece of grilled meat and sent it over to Bai Feng’s bowl.

“I still have some here; don’t keep sending it my way.”

Bai Feng looked at the few pieces of grilled meat that had mysteriously appeared in his bowl, then glanced at Bai Yumo, who quickly retracted her chopsticks and pretended to be busy flipping the meat. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

You really came here just to grill meat!

No wonder the grilled meat in my bowl keeps increasing; I thought the Tianjian Sect’s grilled meat could replicate itself!

“Brother, you just reached the Foundation Establishment stage; you should eat more,” Bai Yumo said, unbothered by being caught. Instead, she replied confidently, “This spirit beast meat is packed with nutrients and is good for cultivation.”

“Stop trying to change the subject.” Bai Feng flicked her forehead with his fingers. “I want to grill it myself. If you’re full, just sit back and relax, or go back and cultivate.”

“Okay, I will.”

Bai Yumo covered her forehead, looking a bit displeased, but she obediently sat beside him, watching Bai Feng eat the grilled meat.

Bai Feng said, “If you have nothing to do, go back and cultivate. Don’t just stare at me while I eat.”

He couldn’t shake the feeling that Bai Yumo was starting to look down on him as her brother. Was it because he had been too easygoing lately, causing him to lose his authority as an older brother?

Oh, wait, it seems he never had much authority to begin with, so that’s not a problem.

While Bai Feng ate the grilled meat, he glanced around and noticed that the seniors were all discussing cultivation issues or upcoming tasks. It seemed he was the only one truly enjoying the food.

He felt a bit out of place.

Though he thought this, his hands didn’t stop moving.

As Bai Yumo had said, the spirit beast meat was indeed rich in nutrients. The quality of the meat transported here was quite high, and after eating a few pieces, he could feel warmth spreading through his body, and the flow of spiritual energy quickened.

Since that was the case, he had to eat even more.

“Ah, I’m exhausted! Finally done!” Yu Yao plopped down onto a chair, unceremoniously grabbing her chopsticks and snatching a piece of freshly grilled meat from the iron plate, stuffing it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up. “Mmm, you grill pretty well!”

Bai Feng glanced at Yu Yao, who acted as if she didn’t consider him an outsider. “Why are you here stealing my grilled meat?”

“Of course, I came to see little Yumo sitting all alone, not eating any meat,” Yu Yao said, unabashedly grabbing another piece of grilled meat. “Someone doesn’t even know to take care of her; what kind of brother are you?”

“I tried, but she wouldn’t listen.” Before Yu Yao could grab another piece, Bai Feng quickly snatched a third piece of grilled meat and held it out to Bai Yumo. “See, Yumo, want some grilled meat?”

Bai Yumo first glanced at Yu Yao sitting across from Bai Feng, then looked at the chopsticks he extended. She nodded gently and then lowered her head to take a bite of the grilled meat.

Yu Yao blinked in surprise. “Aren’t you two… getting a bit too close for siblings?”

Chapter 30: Don’t You Think You’re Acting Like a Dog?

Bai Feng looked at his chopsticks, then at Bai Yumo, who was blushing slightly as she chewed on the grilled meat. For a moment, even his brain seemed to freeze.

Was it his action of extending the chopsticks that caused the misunderstanding?

“Little sis, if you want to eat grilled meat, just tell me. No need to be so… eager.”

Bai Feng quietly retracted his chopsticks, glancing at the tips, unsure whether to continue using them.

If he didn’t, it would seem like he was rejecting Bai Yumo, and if she got hurt, it would be bad if the system decided to shove luck points down his throat. But if he continued using them, it felt strange.

“Yeah, brother, you’re right,” Bai Yumo said, straightening her posture, looking like a student being lectured.

“Forget it, let’s just keep grilling meat.”

Bai Feng didn’t put down his chopsticks; instead, he continued to pick up grilled meat and send it to Bai Yumo’s bowl.

Since it was awkward to switch chopsticks, he might as well use the grease from the grilled meat to cleanse them!

With Yu Yao joining in, Bai Feng was enjoying the gathering immensely.

After all, eating alone was one thing, but sharing food with someone made it taste even better.

Even Bai Yumo was encouraged to eat a few more pieces of grilled meat.

Though he felt her gaze was a bit off, when he looked closely, Bai Yumo seemed just like her usual self.

Hopefully, it was just his imagination. He really couldn’t handle being bombarded with luck points by the system again.

“This meal was so satisfying! Thanks for the treat, little junior brother.” Yu Yao patted her little belly. “I need to get back to work now. Next time, I’ll treat you both to grilled meat again.”

With that, she quickly left. The gathering was nearing its end, and she needed to tidy up; otherwise, if the elders saw the mountain in disarray the next day, she would be in trouble.

Bai Feng also felt a bit stuffed. He stood up and stretched. “Let’s head back and rest.”

“Okay.”

“Ugh, I smell like grilled meat all over. I’ll have to shower and do laundry when I get back.”

Upon hearing Bai Feng’s grumbling, Bai Yumo’s eyes seemed to light up. “How about I help you wash your clothes, brother?”

Bai Feng waved his hand. “No need. I’m not some spoiled rich kid who relies on others for everything. I can handle this myself.”

“It’s fine! Brother, if you have time to wash clothes, you might as well cultivate more and strive to reach the Golden Core stage sooner.”

“Washing clothes doesn’t take that much time, does it?”

But Bai Yumo remained persistent. “It’s fine! Just leave it to me. I promise to wash them until they look brand new.”

“Let’s talk about it later. You should hurry back and rest.”

Bai Feng felt that Bai Yumo was being a bit too enthusiastic. Now that she had taken over his meals, if she started taking over laundry too, she would really evolve into a mother figure.

A few minutes later…

---

Bai Feng stepped out of the steamy bathroom and noticed that his clothes left outside were gone, replaced by a note.

With a blank expression, he picked up the note and glanced at it:

[Brother, I took your clothes back to wash. Make sure to cultivate hard!]

Bai Feng: “…”

In the end, he couldn’t stop his sister from evolving down the path of becoming a mother, could he?

Zixiao Peak.

A somewhat sharp voice came from inside a house:

“Senior Brother, haven’t you thanked Sister Bai yet?” It was a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen, but her pretty face was clouded with frost. “If it weren’t for the little junior brother asking me to deliver the necklace as a thank-you gift, I wouldn’t even know about this. Isn’t this embarrassing for Zixiao Peak?”

Although Luo Chen was the eldest senior brother of Zixiao Peak, he lowered his head and remained silent in front of the girl. Only after she finished speaking did he quietly explain a few things:

“I did thank her, but Sister Bai refused.”

After his explanation, the girl seemed even angrier. Her voice rose again, “Can’t you send it a few more times? Even if Sister Bai doesn’t need these things, her talentless brother surely does! Can’t you just give it to him? Can’t you think clearly about such a small matter?”

At this moment, Lin Yu, standing nearby, felt guilty and defended Luo Chen, saying, “Sister, don’t blame Senior Brother. This isn’t his fault; it’s all because I accidentally lost the elixir…”
