He let out a breath, glancing at the letter that expressed gratitude towards him. It shared how last night, Mama Chen, in a good mood, had gifted some fruit, and even advised him not to send such expensive gifts. To her, it mattered more that he was doing well in life than a plate of fruit.

At this point, warmth suddenly filled his heart.

Chun'er is truly a good girl!

"Don't worry, Chun'er! I will definitely rescue you!"

Li Ming cast a deep look at the flower boat on the river. It seemed as if Chun'er heard his inner call; suddenly, the window of the flower boat swung open, and Chun'er peeked out.

She wasn't wearing the translucent gauze, and under the glow of the lights, her pure and beautiful face, just as he had imagined, came clearly into view.

At the same time, Chun'er noticed Li Ming. A hint of shyness colored her cheeks, and she quickly reached out to close the window.

It took several seconds for Li Ming to regain his senses. He took a deep breath, feeling his heart race a little faster.

At the same time, a flicker of joy blossomed in his heart. Though it was just a small accident, he must be the first person to see Chun'er's true face, right?

"Chun'er, just wait for me!"

Li Ming clenched his fist, no longer lingering, and turned directly towards the materials shop.

Although he wanted to rescue Chun'er from the flower boat immediately, he had heard that the forces behind it were quite powerful, possibly even connected to the city lord.

With his current strength, he couldn't confront such a colossal entity, so he had to take it slow.

For now, he would take care of the letters for the next few days!

...

"Why is this child of destiny still hanging around the west side of the city?"

Could it be that after facing setbacks, he has become infatuated with women? If so, this child of destiny's mindset is really poor!

Bai Feng looked at the icon on the mini-map, feeling that something was off.

Could it be that this child of destiny is plotting something?

No, he absolutely cannot sit idly by!

"I should go to the west side and set up a few eyes."

Bai Feng pinched a talisman, slicing off a thread of his consciousness and hiding it within.

But then he tucked the talisman away and glanced out at the birds flying by the window.

The talisman is too easy to expose; I should use this instead!

He cast a quick glance at Bai Yu Mo, who was washing the dishes, then quietly moved to the window. A flash of black and white light flickered in his eyes, and the next moment, the birds outside landed beside the window.

Chapter 108: Bai Yu Mo's Suspicion

"Mm... hmm."

Su Lan Qian slowly opened her eyes. She looked down at her clothes, then around the unfamiliar room, feeling a bit dazed.

Instantly, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly pulled her clothes up to cover her face.

But the lingering scent on the fabric only made her cheeks burn hotter.

"Oh no, I only meant to take a short nap, but I overslept..."

Her sleep quality had always been poor; even when wrapped in Bai Feng's blanket, she often woke up in the middle of the night.

Yet this time, her sleep had been unusually deep. Not only did she avoid strange nightmares, but she also slept straight through until dawn.

"Su Shijie? Are you awake?"

Bai Feng noticed the sound Su Lan Qian made upon waking. He released the birds and turned to look at her, who was hiding her face under her robe.

What is she doing? Is she still trying to sleep because she hasn't had enough rest?

Hiding beneath the robe, Su Lan Qian trembled slightly. She had intended to keep pretending to sleep, but thinking about how it was already bright outside, she figured Bai Feng might get a bit annoyed if she continued to feign sleep.

So, she quietly pulled down a bit of fabric, revealing just her eyes, and softly replied, "I'm awake."

"It's fine, if you want to sleep, go ahead and sleep a little longer," Bai Feng said with a smile, waving his hand. "I sometimes like to sleep in too. After all, there's nothing better than waking up in the morning and realizing you can sleep a bit longer, especially when the bed is so cozy."

"Mm..."

Su Lan Qian quickly tugged the robe up to cover her face again.

He probably doesn't know that I secretly took his blanket, right?

She felt quite anxious. After all, not only had she taken his used blanket, but she had also... slept in it without clothes, which was a bit creepy.

If Bai Feng found out, he would definitely distance himself from her, thinking she was a weirdo!

Wait, hiding my head in Bai Feng's robe also makes me look like a creep!

Thinking this, she quickly pulled the robe away, revealing most of her flushed face.

"Hm? Aren't you going to sleep? Is the sunlight too strong? Do you need me to block the window?"

Bai Feng looked at Su Lan Qian, who had revealed her head again. Given how hard she worked last night, he felt a bit more concern for this diligent employee.

In response to Bai Feng's inquiry, Su Lan Qian quickly shook her head. "No, no, I'm fine. I've had enough sleep, and today we need to build the grand formation."

"Oh right, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

Bai Feng patted his head. He had been so focused on developing a portable formation plate that he had completely forgotten the purpose of this trip.

After so many days of preparation, it was time to start constructing the grand formation for Xuan Guang City.

"Good thing I finished modifying Gu Shijie's formation plate last night." He took out the modified Jin Jia formation plate and handed it to Su Lan Qian. "Su Shijie, could you please help me test this? I need to grab something."

Although theoretically, the modified Jin Jia formation plate had greatly increased capacity, it still needed testing to prevent any bugs.

So, Bai Feng hurriedly made his way to his bedroom, picked up a soft pillow, and came back out.

Then he tossed the pillow to Su Lan Qian. "Su Shijie, please hold the pillow and activate the formation."

"Ah, okay!" Su Lan Qian quickly caught the pillow.

Bai Feng reminded her, "Remember to hold it against your chest."

"Got it."

Su Lan Qian nodded repeatedly. Following Bai Feng's instructions, she held the pillow against her chest with one hand and activated the formation with the other.

As a gentle golden light flashed, a semi-transparent membrane enveloped her, successfully wrapping the pillow within.

"Not bad, not bad."

Bai Feng examined it closely. This time, there shouldn't be any unexpected issues.

At that moment, Su Lan Qian was intently staring at the pillow in her arms, the rich aura emanating from it making her swallow hard.

I really want to take it with me. If I could hug it while sleeping at night, no, if I could hold it, it would definitely help suppress my inner demons.

"Alright, thank you, Su Shijie." Bai Feng reached out to close and put away the formation plate. "If you ever have any difficulties in the future, just let me know. I'll help you."

"Mm..."

Su Lan Qian nodded, reluctant to put the pillow down.

When Bai Feng was expressing his gratitude, she really wanted to say that she wanted the pillow, but... such words would easily be seen as creepy, and Bai Feng probably wouldn't agree anyway.

"By the way, we saved you some breakfast. Su Shijie, you should eat quickly." Bai Feng pointed to the food set aside on the table. "Once we finish eating, we'll take the formation plate to Gu Shijie, and then go find our master to see what tasks he has for us."

"Mm."

Meanwhile, Bai Yu Mo, who was washing the dishes, also noticed that Su Lan Qian had woken up.

A hint of suspicion crossed her face; she felt that Su Lan Qian's expression seemed a bit off.

Although she knew that Su Lan Qian needed Bai Feng to help suppress her inner demons, from Su Lan Qian's reaction, it felt like there was more to it than just using Bai Feng's belongings to do so.

Indeed, she didn't like this person at all.

...

Bai Feng handed the formation plate to Gu Yueqing. This time, there were no unexpected issues, and he received a generous reward as a result.

However, even with money, he couldn't spend it now; he had to delay the promise he made to Yu Yao about modifying the auction house's formation.

Right now, the most important thing was to construct the grand formation for Xuan Guang City.

As a result, he became quite busy, spending several consecutive days either building formations or being dragged by Liu Meng to observe and learn on-site.

"Su Shijie, could you please help fill in the formation patterns here? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and need to rest for a bit."

"Ah? Sure, you go rest. I'll take care of this."

Su Lan Qian nodded quickly and hurried over to take over the task of filling in the formation patterns.

This part wasn't too difficult; the hardest framework had already been solved by Bai Feng. The remaining work was something she could manage smoothly, as long as Bai Feng didn't stray too far from her.

"Thanks."

Bai Feng pulled out a reclining chair from his storage bag and lay back, closing his eyes.

Although he practiced the Divine Forging Method and had the support of the Yin-Yang Patterns, he was still only at the Golden Core stage. Even as an assistant in construction, he found it a bit taxing, especially since Liu Meng had added many of her self-made small formations, which increased the difficulty.
