Since Bai Shidi has given him a chance for a fresh start today, he will take it upon himself to eliminate all those who harbor ill intentions toward Bai Shidi.

...

"Achoo!"

Bai Feng suddenly sneezed, feeling a chill in the air around him.

Has the temperature dropped again recently?

He tightened his clothes and glanced at the system.

Hmm, all good—no abnormalities. Even after he vented his frustrations on the luck-sucking dog, he didn’t gain any luck points. It seems that the luck-sucking dog isn’t so easily rattled.

With that, Bai Feng finally relaxed. He continued to admire his creation, feeling quite satisfied.

This was meant to promote the Liuying Stone—no, it should now be called the Animation Stone.

To promote the Animation Stone, Bai Feng had specifically chosen a widely circulated short animation from his past life—Rabbit Hole.

Though nothing was revealed, it was still quite risqué!

Perfect for him, the risqué artist.

He was already looking forward to the day when the Animation Stone would sell like hotcakes.

Alright, back to work!

**Chapter 33: The Orphanage at the End**

"Finally done!" Bai Feng stretched lazily, playing with the Animation Stone in his hand. "Too bad it’s just instrumental."

But he didn’t have the skill to translate the lyrics elegantly anyway.

And just getting this piece of music took quite a bit of effort.

Although his memory had improved after cultivating, and he could still recall the melody, it was impossible for someone who had never studied music to write it down.

So, he had Bai Yu Mo help him find a senior sister who was proficient in music theory. He hummed the melody for her, and she helped him play it on the guqin.

Thus, he ended up with a guqin version of Rabbit Hole that was about eighty to ninety percent similar to the original. It might be a bit monotonous, but for the entertainment standards of this world, it was more than enough!

Next, he needed someone to help him send the Animation Stone and the next issue of Chunqiu back to the Bai family.

Time was running out.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Bai Feng quickly got up and opened it. A girl with long white hair and an expressionless face stood quietly at his door.

Upon seeing Bai Feng, her calm demeanor finally showed a hint of emotion. Her lips moved as if she had a lot to say, but in the end, she simply called out, "Young Master."

"…Xiao Qi, don’t call me that." Bai Feng couldn’t help but complain, then he looked around and didn’t see anyone else. "By the way, what are you doing here? Are you also cultivating at Tianjian Sect? Where’s the messenger?"

What’s going on with the person in charge? Why send a little girl to deliver risqué art?

Seemingly sensing Bai Feng’s confusion, Xiao Qi replied in a tone that was almost flat, "I applied to come myself."

"You… never mind, let’s talk inside."

Bai Feng waved his hand, deciding not to dwell on the matter.

He was well aware that a demoness was lurking outside, so he certainly wouldn’t take the risk of personally delivering Chunqiu.

That’s why he had asked the Bai family disciples who were cultivating at Tianjian Sect to help deliver a message, but he hadn’t expected it to be Xiao Qi who showed up.

"Young Master, are you doing well at Tianjian Sect?"

Xiao Qi followed closely behind him, asking softly.

"Not bad, it’s pretty much the same as being at home."

Except that the cook from the Bai family had turned into his sister.

"And don’t call me Young Master. You can call me Brother or Sir like before."

"Is it… Brother?"

Xiao Qi cautiously lifted her head to look at Bai Feng.

"Yeah." Bai Feng smiled and ruffled Xiao Qi’s hair, then curiously asked, "When did you pass the Tianjian Sect’s assessment and start cultivating there?"

Xiao Qi tilted her head in thought. "I’ve been cultivating for quite a while now. Didn’t you know before, Brother?"

Though her tone was flat and her face expressionless, Bai Feng could still sense a hint of reproach in her voice for him just now finding out.

Bai Feng felt a bit awkward about it. He couldn’t exactly say that he had been too absorbed in drawing risqué art and, with the Bai family taking over, he had put the orphanage matters aside.

"That was indeed my oversight." Bai Feng didn’t argue. He casually sat down in a chair and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qi. "After all, you’ve all grown up and have your own ideas. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to meddle."

This was something from many years ago. Not long after he acquired the villain system, he had been considering how to avoid the Child of Destiny.

Given that orphans were often the targets of such fate, he built an orphanage called the End Orphanage.

If he ever discovered a Child of Destiny, he could easily find an excuse to relocate them to another city.

The process of building the orphanage went quite smoothly. Although the Bai family didn’t pay much attention to his endeavor, he was still the young master of the Bai family. Even a little support from them was enough.

With that, he successfully opened the orphanage and took in all the orphans from Qinghong City.

And Xiao Qi was one of them.

At the time, since the Bai family didn’t care much, he was the one running around taking care of the orphans’ needs, so they developed a good bond.

Later, when talents like Xiao Qi emerged, the Bai family began to take notice, and Bai Feng didn’t have to be so hands-on anymore. He would only check in on them every few days.

In fact, after Xiao Qi and the others grew up and left, he visited the orphanage even less.

Especially since he was playing the role of a spoiled rich kid, listening to music, and he felt a bit of an image burden in front of those orphans, so he naturally didn’t want to see them.

But Xiao Qi shook her head. "Xiao Qi is very willing to listen to Brother."

"Then you need to practice hard so you can protect me in the future!" Bai Feng said with a smile. He then pulled out the sealed Chunqiu and Animation Stone from his storage bag. "Alright, since you’ve taken on this task, you need to complete it well. Just deliver it to the academy at home."

After all, the printing of Chunqiu was done at the Bai family academy; otherwise, how could he hide his identity so well?

"Okay."

Xiao Qi nodded, accepting the items to be delivered. However, she didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she leaned in closer, her big eyes blinking at him.

"…Alright, thank you for your hard work."

Bai Feng helplessly reached out to gently stroke her head.

Though Xiao Qi’s face still bore little expression, the slight upturn of her lips and her squinting eyes showed that she was enjoying Bai Feng’s touch.

Like a little cat.

Bai Feng’s hand glided through her silvery long hair, which felt like silk—very smooth and well-kept.

It was clear that Xiao Qi took good care of herself.

‘Looks like Xiao Qi has finally accepted her hair.’

Bai Feng felt a pang of nostalgia. He remembered that Xiao Qi had become an orphan because of her white hair, and she had suffered a lot of bullying because of it.

He recalled how, when Xiao Qi first entered the orphanage, he often saw her pulling out her own hair or using scissors to chop it into a mess.

He had to come up with many ways to stop her from harming herself.

Petting her head became a habit he formed during that time—because back then, neither encouragement nor scary stories worked, so Bai Feng had no choice but to resort to this method.

He remembered gently stroking her messy white hair and saying with a slightly regretful expression, "I really like your hair, Xiao Qi. Even if it’s just for me, could you please take good care of it?"

From that day on, he would pet her hair every day, even helping her wash, comb, and trim it.

Eventually, Xiao Qi stopped her self-destructive behavior. Although she still didn’t like her hair much, she began to treat it with more seriousness.

And because Bai Feng was the head of the orphanage and the most respected figure among the orphans, his words also influenced others. At least, there were far fewer people mocking Xiao Qi for her white hair in the orphanage.

"Xiao Qi’s hair is well taken care of; I really like it!"

After receiving Bai Feng’s praise, Xiao Qi’s lips curled up just a bit.

She had always put effort into caring for her hair for this moment, and her heart was filled with satisfaction.

Just then, the door suddenly swung open:

"Brother, I bought some fresh green beef! Let’s make… huh?"

Bai Yu Mo froze, staring at Xiao Qi, who was almost nestled in Bai Feng’s arms, her expression frozen in shock.

"Brother, who is she…?"

Bai Yu Mo asked, forcing a smile as she pointed at Xiao Qi in Bai Feng’s embrace.

"Oh, let me introduce you!" Bai Feng gently patted Xiao Qi’s head and smiled as he introduced, "This is Xiao Qi, an outstanding student from the orphanage I established!"
