“Alright, it’s settled then!” Yu Yao nodded, “It’s a bit boring practicing swordplay alone anyway.”

“Wait, you actually practice swordplay?”

Bai Feng was taken aback. He thought Yu Yao spent her days either sewing or lounging around with snacks.

“Of course! I’m quite diligent. Among the Golden Core disciples on Qingzhu Peak, I’m only a little behind Yu Mo. Otherwise, why would Master let me come along?” Yu Yao said, shaking her small fist.

“Well, I’m really looking forward to seeing your swordsmanship then.”

…

‘That guy Bai Feng should be heading to Tianluo City too, right?’

On the flying boat of Fengling Sect, Yu Ping’an gently rubbed the portable array plate in his hands.

Although there were many rumors about the array master who created the portable array plate, he knew very well that it was the work of Master Liu Meng.

Now, he had nearly cracked the secrets of the portable array plate and could even replicate an array plate with about seventy to eighty percent of the original’s power.

However, it wasn’t as convenient as the portable array plate; he had to work with three plates instead of one, and they couldn’t be moved. This was due to his limited understanding of the Qian Zhen Sect’s legacy.

He believed that once he learned the full inheritance of the Qian Zhen Sect, he could completely replicate it.

As long as he showcased his talent, he was sure he could impress Sister Su and even Master Liu. As for Bai Feng…

He didn’t care about him anymore, especially after learning that Bai Feng had received the precious inheritance of the Qian Zhen Sect but had achieved nothing with it. Instead, he had used it to create a ridiculous item like a recording device—what a waste of talent! It was laughable, sad, and lamentable!

‘I’m sure Sister Su must be quite disappointed in him too!’

Meanwhile.

“I’ll teach you the remaining array patterns bit by bit, but don’t push yourself too hard, Sister Su.”

Bai Feng sat at a table with a ‘stone tablet’ in front of him, speaking to Su Lanqian.

“Thanks, I appreciate it,” Su Lanqian nodded, replying softly, “I want to help you as soon as possible.”

“Can’t you help me right now?” Bai Feng smiled and waved his hand, then picked up a ‘pen’ to start sketching on the stone tablet. “So, the second part goes like this…”

Su Lanqian leaned in closer, her eyes fixed on Bai Feng. After hesitating for a few seconds, she cautiously placed her hand on his shoulder. Seeing that Bai Feng didn’t react, she moved in even closer.

At the same time, her gaze was glued to the celestial patterns on the stone tablet, completely entranced, unaware that half her body was nearly pressed against Bai Feng’s.

Chapter 164: “Come on, let’s get married!”

“You really came at the right time…”

Bai Feng looked at Yun Yueyao standing outside the door. He had just sent the blushing Su Lanqian away when she showed up again.

“Don’t forget, I’m from the Tianyan Sacred Land.” Yun Yueyao grabbed Bai Feng’s arm and hugged him. “It’s not hard to calculate when you’d be free.”

“I feel like I have no privacy left.”

Bai Feng tried to pull his arm away, but she held on tightly.

“Don’t worry, not everything can be calculated.” Yun Yueyao looked up at him, a smile on her face. “Now, let’s hurry inside. No need to linger at the door.”

As she spoke, she tugged Bai Feng into the room and kicked the door shut with her little foot.

Bai Feng: “…”

Isn’t this my place? You really don’t see yourself as an outsider, do you?

“What do you need me for?”

“I do, and it’s very important.” Yun Yueyao nodded, her tone serious.

Bai Feng’s expression turned grave: “What is it?”

“To cultivate our feelings and then get married,” Yun Yueyao replied earnestly.

“…”

Then, Yun Yueyao pulled out a wooden chessboard from her storage bag. “I brought a game, the Big Landlord you taught me. Let’s play together!”

“You said the future is dangerous, right? Is it really okay to be playing around like this?”

Bai Feng couldn’t help but complain.

Isn’t this just Monopoly? Well… the name does fit.

“Since you put it that way…” Yun Yueyao pulled out a book of techniques from her storage bag. “Then let’s cultivate together!”

“...I suddenly want to play Big Landlord!” After a few seconds of silence, Bai Feng reached for the wooden chessboard. “After all, you can’t just keep cultivating; sometimes you need to relax.”

Yun Yueyao smiled a little more, putting the technique book back in her storage bag as she and Bai Feng set up the necessary pieces and cards.

“This isn’t just an ordinary Big Landlord,” she said, picking up an event card and playing with it in her hands. “I’ve recorded many future events on this, and I’ve added settings for life and death, along with some special modifications. Who knows, we might catch a glimpse of the future.”

“Is it really that mystical?” Bai Feng was genuinely intrigued now, picking up a character piece and placing it on the board. “Then I’ll choose this one.”

As he set the piece down, its rounded head suddenly changed, its hairstyle and simple features resembling him closely.

“Then I’ll pick this one.”

Yun Yueyao also placed a piece on the board, which looked just like her, even smaller in size.

“Let the game begin.”

…

Bai Feng rolled the dice. At first, the gameplay was similar to Monopoly, but the events were replaced with cultivation-related incidents, like falling off a cliff and gaining a fortuitous encounter or finding a mysterious technique on the street.

“It’s my turn.”

Yun Yueyao rolled the dice, landing on a mysterious event space, which immediately lit up.

As the light expanded, the board transformed, adorned with many red double happiness characters, while Bai Feng’s piece appeared next to Yun Yueyao’s.

“Lucky you, you triggered a marriage event.” Yun Yueyao smiled, looking up at Bai Feng. “Come on, let’s get married!”

“...I can’t shake the feeling that you’re just using this to stir up jealousy,” Bai Feng couldn’t help but retort. “And after we get married, how do we play? Do I give you my assets, or do your assets belong to me?”

“There are hidden rules, don’t rush.” Yun Yueyao replied with a smile. “Now, let’s start the wedding ceremony.”

“Can I refuse?”

“Sorry, you can’t.” Yun Yueyao shook her head, a triumphant smile on her face. “Since we’ve explored secret realms together, our affection has reached 90. You have no reason to refuse.”

“...I see now why you were so eager to buy a ticket to follow me into the secret realm!”

Bai Feng felt utterly defeated. He thought Yun Yueyao was there to snatch his opportunities, but it turned out she was just there to boost her affection!

I’m playing Monopoly, and you’re playing a dating sim, right?

While he was busy complaining, the pieces on the board underwent a transformation. Yun Yueyao’s character donned a red wedding dress, complete with a red veil, while Bai Feng’s character changed into a groom’s outfit.

“Yay, we’re married!”

Yun Yueyao had somehow moved from across the board to Bai Feng’s side. She wrapped her arms around his, resting her head on his shoulder, watching the little figures on the board perform a simple wedding ceremony.

As the wedding concluded and the couple entered the bridal chamber, the marriage event came to an end.

Bai Feng glanced at his assets, realizing that their combined wealth, both cash and property, had merged into one.

“Does this mean I lost, or is it a tie?”

Bai Feng looked at Yun Yueyao, who was still clinging to him. If a third person were playing, they would be a powerful duo, but with just the two of them, it was clear that after marriage, the game couldn’t continue.

“Don’t worry, a new event is coming!”

Yun Yueyao flipped over the top event card, and in the next moment, the board changed once more.

First, the white mist symbolizing spiritual energy thickened. Next, secret realms began to appear more frequently, and finally, a multitude of NPC pieces emerged on the board, some causing chaos in the secret realms, while others wreaked havoc on Bai Feng and Yun Yueyao’s territory, destroying many high-level buildings.

“The era of the Immortal Path has returned!”

Bai Feng couldn’t help but complain, “This has completely turned from Big Landlord into a tabletop RPG, hasn’t it?”

“Come on, let’s ascend the Immortal Path together as a couple!” Yun Yueyao picked up the dice. “Hubby, remember, the first event is the revival of the spiritual vein.”

“Hubby? Don’t bring game settings into reality!” Bai Feng couldn’t help but retort.
