To be honest, this situation was undoubtedly quite tricky. If not handled properly, the system would be overwhelmed with luck points, which was why he had been hesitant to take action.

However, he also understood that dragging it out would lead to problems, which was why he had subtly probed Bai Yu Mo's attitude while cooking.

Just as he was grappling with what to do, a gentle knock echoed from outside the door.

“Who is it?”

From the sound of the knock, it didn’t seem like Su Lan Qian; it felt more like Yu Yao, but Yu Yao wouldn’t knock so softly and gently.

With a hint of curiosity, Bai Feng opened the door. Standing outside was a girl with twin ponytails. She was a bit petite and frail, but still taller than Yu Yao. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, fixed intently on him.

The problem was, he didn’t recognize her.

“Who are you?”

The girl didn’t rush to answer; she just kept staring at him.

‘It’s the real Bai Feng!’

‘Finally meeting in reality!’

‘Phew… Calm down, don’t act impulsively. I must hold back and not make any outrageous moves.’

‘No, this isn’t the time to think about that. I need to say something; I can’t keep Bai Feng waiting too long.’

‘Should I introduce myself first, or should I start with our parents’ stories?’

‘Hmm, Bai Feng must have heard my name from Uncle Bai. My dad even came to propose before, so it should be fine to just say my name, right?’

“Um… hello?” Bai Feng noticed she hadn’t spoken and slowly waved his hand in front of her, “Are you lost?”

The girl’s expression gradually turned resolute. She reached out and hugged Bai Feng, tilting her head slightly to gaze directly into his eyes:

“Hello, let’s get married.”

Bai Feng: “?”

Chapter 158: Yun Yue Yao: Let’s Go on a Date!

Bai Feng stared at the girl who was hugging him, doubting his hearing: “What did you just say?”

“Let’s get married!”

The girl’s voice was firm and clear, and this time he was sure he hadn’t misheard.

Confusion washed over his face—whose child was this?

“Um, we don’t seem to know each other at all, do we?”

“We do know each other!” The girl shook her head, answering with conviction.

Seeing her so sure made Bai Feng a bit uncertain, so he asked, “But I don’t have any impression of you. Can you tell me when we met?”

The girl pondered for a few seconds: “A long time ago.”

“…”

Bai Feng fell silent. Was this girl’s mind okay?

“Do you have a more specific time?”

She thought for a few more seconds: “Well, if we’re being technical, we knew each other before we were even born.”

“…”

What? Is this about past lives?

Bai Feng felt a bit helpless, but fortunately, the girl seemed to have finally come to a realization. She continued explaining: “Before I was born, my father and your father arranged our marriage.”

At this point, Bai Feng finally connected the dots: “You’re Yun Yue Yao? The daughter of Uncle Yun?”

Yun Yue Yao nodded: “Mm.”

‘Wait, wait, wait, why is Yun Yue Yao here? What’s going on? And why did she start with marriage? Is she the type to strictly adhere to the marriage arrangements made by our parents?’

Bai Feng’s mind was in a whirl.

Then he suddenly remembered something and quickly opened the system to take a look.

He then painfully closed his eyes.

Sure enough, another… child of destiny!

“Bai Feng, let’s get married!”

Yun Yue Yao grabbed Bai Feng’s shirt and said earnestly once more.

In that brief moment, she had figured it out: rather than pretending not to know Bai Feng and slowly getting acquainted, it was better to just get married first!

“Wait a minute!” Bai Feng quickly interrupted, “We barely even know each other’s names! Isn’t this too fast?”

Yun Yue Yao tilted her head.

Bai Feng pressed on, “By the way, didn’t Uncle Yun tell you? If we’re going to get married, I’d prefer to marry someone I know well. We’ve never even met before; we can’t say we know each other at all. Let’s at least get familiar before discussing marriage!”

“Hmm…” Yun Yue Yao continued to think, then seemed to come up with a good idea. She grabbed Bai Feng’s arm and pulled him outside, “I got it.”

Bai Feng was a bit confused: “What are you pulling me for?”

Yun Yue Yao turned back, speaking in a calm tone: “To go on a date!”

“…”

No, you don’t know anything!

Finally, Bai Feng sighed. Faced with the child of destiny, he could only continue to patiently persuade her: “Dates are something you do after establishing a relationship. Right now, aside from our names, we’re practically strangers.”

“No.” Yun Yue Yao shook her head, “We’re not strangers; I know you.”

“If it’s just because you’ve heard of me, that doesn’t count as knowing each other.”

“No, I know you very well.” Yun Yue Yao shook her head again, countering, “I know your preferences and tastes. Even though you often say you’re not into younger girls, your favorite thing to do is to hold me while reading, and also…”

As Bai Feng listened to Yun Yue Yao mumble on, a terrifying thought began to form in his mind: ‘A reincarnated child of destiny?’

“Hmm, are you guessing that I’m a reincarnator?” Yun Yue Yao looked up, seemingly seeing right through his thoughts, “You’re not wrong, but strictly speaking, I don’t consider myself one. However, the answer is quite close.”

Bai Feng fell silent, unsure of what to say:

“…Is it really okay to just tell me such a secret so easily?”

“No problem, I trust you.” Yun Yue Yao nodded, “And pretending not to know you is too exhausting.”

“Brother, what are you doing standing at the door?”

At that moment, Bai Yu Mo hurried over and immediately spotted Yun Yue Yao hugging Bai Feng. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion crossed her face—who was this girl? Was she perhaps a sister of Senior Sister Yu Yao?

Bai Feng immediately sensed a hint of danger, but before he could explain, Yun Yue Yao stepped forward and introduced herself: “Hello, I’m Yun Yue Yao. You must be Bai Feng’s sister.”

“Yun Yue Yao? You’re Uncle Yun’s daughter?”

Bai Yu Mo paused for a moment, and an inexplicable sense of crisis rose within her.

Why was Yun Yue Yao here? Was it for the marriage arrangement?

“I joined the Tian Yan Sacred Land and came here with them. I heard Bai Feng was here, so I thought I’d drop by for a visit.”

Yun Yue Yao replied calmly.

‘What a normal response; it’s like she’s a completely different person from just now!’

Bai Feng couldn’t help but mentally complain.

Bai Yu Mo didn’t let her guard down, her face showing a hint of confusion: “Then why were you hugging him just now?”

Yun Yue Yao tilted her head, looking puzzled as she replied: “What’s wrong with hugging my fiancé?”

“Wh… what fiancé? You two aren’t even engaged!” Bai Yu Mo’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to hold back her retort, “And didn’t my brother say he doesn’t plan to marry someone he doesn’t know?”

“That’s why I’m here to get to know him~” Yun Yue Yao’s face broke into a smile as she reached out to wrap her arms around Bai Feng’s, “And you’re just his sister, right? Why are you so anxious about our marriage?”

Bai Yu Mo was instantly caught off guard, her face turning red as she flustered to defend herself: “I’m not! I’m just… just concerned…”

‘I was wrong; this is anything but normal!’

Bai Feng sighed and quickly intervened to cut off the escalating tension between the two, looking down at Yun Yue Yao and warning her: “Stop! If you keep saying things like that, I might just have to kick you out!”

“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything more.”

Yun Yue Yao raised her hand, mimicking a zipper motion across her mouth, but she didn’t let go of Bai Feng’s arm.

He tried to pull his arm away, but it was no use; instead, Yun Yue Yao tightened her grip, and he could even feel a soft sensation against his arm.

Yun Yue Yao might be short, but she was quite… well-endowed?

He looked down at her, and she tilted her head, smiling.

“Let go of me first; we can talk inside.”

“Mm, as you wish.”

Yun Yue Yao nodded and finally released Bai Feng’s arm.

Inside the room.
