“Come on, this is role-playing! You have to get into character! The more you immerse yourself, the more accurate the predictions for the future will be, so…” Yun Yueyao lifted her head, “You should just call me ‘wife’!”

Bai Feng replied with a straight face, “No way.”

“Just say it!”

“Not happening!” Bai Feng pushed Yun Yueyao, who was leaning in closer, away and quickly changed the subject. “Why don’t you tell me what the revival of the spiritual veins is all about?”

Seeing that Bai Feng wouldn’t agree, Yun Yueyao didn’t press the issue further and began to explain, “Originally dried-up spiritual veins will start to flow with spiritual energy again, and under the influence of these veins, many spiritual herbs will grow. At the same time, the nearby spiritual beasts will undergo mutations.”

**Chapter 165: I Obtained a Superior Dual Cultivation Technique in the Secret Realm**

“That sounds pretty good.”

Bai Feng glanced at the game board, where many areas had transformed from ordinary land into resource zones, but there was now a cultivation level restriction—only those who had reached the Transformation stage could occupy them.

“Exactly! This is one of the few stages where we can develop safely and quickly,” Yun Yueyao nodded. “What we need to do next is to work hard to gather resources and improve our strength.”

“Let me see if there’s a quick way to buy resources.”

Bai Feng had adapted to the game’s shift from a Monopoly-style play to a tabletop RPG. He stared at the board, deep in thought.

“No, with our current strength, it’s not enough.” Yun Yueyao shook her head, a proud smile appearing on her face as she pulled out a card from her inventory. “But I obtained a superior dual cultivation technique in the secret realm that can rapidly enhance our cultivation.”

Bai Feng: “…”

Are you seriously playing a galgame? Is this where the benefits start after the攻略 (攻略,攻略, or “攻略” refers to game strategies or guides)?

“Can I refuse?”

“Nope.”

Yun Yueyao slapped the card onto the game board, and Bai Feng watched as their little figures once again entered a room.

“How long will this take?”

Bai Feng observed the tumultuous changes on the board, and suddenly, he saw a figure rushing straight toward their residence.

And then the dual cultivation was interrupted.

“Ugh, just as I thought, it got interrupted!” Yun Yueyao’s expression turned serious, clearly a bit displeased.

Bai Feng checked the information of the intruding piece, and the words ‘Owner of Celestial Bones’ jumped out at him.

“…”

This game board really seems to have a knack for predicting the future!

“Forget it, let’s call it a day for now!” Yun Yueyao put away the game board. “And with my current strength, I can’t reveal too much about the future anyway.”

“No wonder you’ve been so vague.”

“But the game events are real,” Yun Yueyao leaned against Bai Feng, “You can start preparing now.”

“The revival of the spiritual veins?”

Bai Feng stroked his chin, contemplating. This was indeed something that could use some advance preparation.

Especially after seeing the scene on the board where a large group of fated children were battling each other, he felt a chill run down his spine.

With his current luck value, if he got caught up in that, he might not last a day.

I need to prepare more!

As he pondered, Yun Yueyao suddenly leaned in closer and whispered, “It might also include a marriage event.”

“...Are you just taking advantage of the fact that I don’t understand the game mechanics to force a marriage on me?” Bai Feng retorted.

“Don’t sweat the details.”

At that moment, Bai Yumo suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. “Bro, we’re having…”

She caught sight of Yun Yueyao practically glued to Bai Feng and frowned. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m Bai Feng’s fiancée. Isn’t it normal for me to be here?”

Yun Yueyao smiled, then, under Bai Yumo’s watchful gaze, she gently pecked the corner of Bai Feng’s mouth. “Alright, I’ll take my leave now. See you tomorrow.”

With that, she walked out slowly, under Bai Yumo’s murderous glare.

“Why is she so annoying!”

Bai Yumo clenched her fists, furious that she would do such a thing right in front of her, as if she didn’t care about her at all!

She hurried to Bai Feng’s side, but before she could lean in, she suddenly remembered the kiss they had shared earlier, and a blush crept onto her face, her body softening.

At that moment, Bai Feng suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

Feeling the warmth radiating from him, Bai Yumo’s anger dissipated instantly. She lowered her head and said softly, “Um, I haven’t cooked yet…”

“Do it later. Let me hold you a little longer.”

“...Okay.” Bai Yumo placed her hands on Bai Feng’s arms that were wrapped around her. “It feels like it’s been ages since we just sat here and chatted like this.”

“Back then, you’d only come to me when it was stormy, right?”

“After all, your arms feel so safe…” Bai Yumo mumbled.

After enjoying a moment of warmth, she reluctantly wriggled out of Bai Feng’s embrace.

She quickly tied her hair up and put on an apron. “I’m going to cook now. Just wait here!”

With that, she hurried off to the kitchen.

Bai Feng watched her retreating figure, a smile creeping onto his face—Bai Yumo was still easy to please.

But when it came to Yun Yueyao, he felt a bit helpless; she seemed to know him too well.

“By the way, all the major sects should be gathering today, right?”

Bai Feng sat on the bed, deep in thought.

Traditionally, today was when the disciples of the major sects would hold a competition, showcasing the strength of their younger generation.

If all went as expected, he would also have to participate, likely facing off against the Feng Ling Sect in a formation battle.

Speaking of which, he had some conflicts with the fated child of the Feng Ling Sect. Was there a way to avoid him?

While he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a commotion by the window.

Turning his head, he saw a small white cat pawing at his window.

“Xiao Xue?”

Bai Feng raised his hand and gently pushed, and the window opened easily. Xiao Xue took the opportunity to leap inside and landed on his bed.

“What are you doing here? Where’s Yuyao?”

He reached out to scratch Xiao Xue’s chin, and the cat looked quite pleased.

Just then, he heard Yuyao’s voice from outside.

“Xiao Xue? Where have you run off to? If you keep wandering around, I’ll send you back!”

Bai Feng looked down at Xiao Xue, who seemed a bit scared, and patted its head. “Yuyao’s right; you shouldn’t wander off. This isn’t the Yu family, so be careful not to get caught by someone else.”

“Meow~~”

“Xiao Xue!” At that moment, Yuyao poked her head through the window. “So you’re here with Junior Brother!”

“Good morning, Senior Sister… Wait, don’t climb through the window! I’ll go open the door for you!”

But before Bai Feng could stop her, Yuyao had already climbed in through the window.

She quickly made her way to Bai Feng’s bed and grabbed Xiao Xue, playfully ‘torturing’ it with both hands. “Xiao Xue, let’s see if you dare to run away again!”

“Meow meow meow!!”

Xiao Xue felt wronged; it was just trying to help its owner get closer to Bai Feng. Why was it being bullied instead?

“Alright, alright, Senior Sister, don’t be too hard on it,” Bai Feng laughed, stepping in to intervene. “How about this: I’ll leave a small door for Xiao Xue at the entrance. If it wants to come over, it can just come through the small door.”

Yuyao pouted as she rubbed Xiao Xue. “Hmph… I raised Xiao Xue with so much effort, and now it’s been taken away by you in just one day.”

**Chapter 166: “How about we each take care of Xiao Xue for a day?”**

“With me taking care of Xiao Xue, Senior Sister, you’ll have it easier, right?”

Bai Feng smiled as he took Xiao Xue from Yuyao’s arms.

“Hmm… you do have a point.” Yuyao thought about the pile of clothes and fabrics at home, which weren’t suitable for raising a cat, and nodded. “Then I’ll leave Xiao Xue in your care. I’ll come to check on it when I have time.”

“Wait a minute, I’m just helping out. Why does all the responsibility for taking care of Xiao Xue fall on me?” Bai Feng’s lips twitched. “I’m not a pet store!”

“Because you took away my precious Xiao Xue!” Yuyao said, still a bit miffed. “Don’t worry, I’ll visit often. I won’t leave you to take care of it all alone.”

“Something about what you just said feels a bit off,” Bai Feng remarked. “Fine, if you’re willing, I’ll take care of Xiao Xue from now on.”

After all, he quite liked this little dancing cat.
