"You can lie down on my bed and sleep after the massage, but only if you don't plan to do it right away."

Bai Feng could see through her little scheme at a glance.

However, Bai Yu Mo seemed not to understand, quickly nodding her head, "Okay, it's settled then!"

Even if she was turned down, it wouldn't be a loss. After all, she used to give Bai Feng massages on the sofa in the living room, and now they were in the bedroom—this was a significant improvement!

After saying that, she got up from the bed and, with a light step, pushed open the bedroom door. "I'll go prepare breakfast now~"

'How easily satisfied she is!'

Bai Feng lay back down on the bed, wishing Yun Yue Yao could be like that too.

Every time he was with Yun Yue Yao, he felt the system sharpening its knives behind him, ready to strike at any moment (referring to boosting his luck value).

...

Today’s competition was focused on alchemy and artifact forging, so there weren't as many people as yesterday.

However, the holy son and daughter of the Sacred Land had already arrived.

"Good morning!"

Not long after Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo arrived, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared before them.

The holy daughter of the Yaochi Sacred Land waved at them with a smile and quickly walked over. "Bai Shimei, do you remember me?"

"Is there something you need?" Bai Yu Mo asked in a flat tone.

"Didn't we say during the last competition that I wanted to get to know you?" The Yaochi holy daughter smiled, "By the way, even though you both have probably heard my name, let me reintroduce myself. I'm Jiang Ling, the holy daughter of the Yaochi Sacred Land."

Then she turned her head to look at Bai Feng. "This must be your brother, right? I've heard a lot about you, Bai Shidi. The image device was made by you, right?"

"Something like that," Bai Feng replied casually, feeling that this child of destiny was a bit too familiar. Couldn't she be a bit more aloof like the other children of destiny?

For instance, the one wrapped in bandages, standing silently beside him—the holy son of the Taichu Sacred Land...

Wait, why was there another child of destiny?

"Good morning, Lin Xiong! Pei Shixiong is here quite early too!"

At that moment, Lin Yan walked over, smiling as he greeted the holy son of the Taichu Sacred Land. He was also wrapped in some bandages, but he looked much better than the Taichu holy son.

The Taichu holy son looked at Lin Yan, a smile appearing on his face. "Good morning, Lin Shidi. Let's have a match once I'm healed."

"Anytime!"

Then the Taichu holy son turned to Bai Feng, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "How about you have a match with me? It's been a long time since I've wanted to fight someone else."

Bai Feng: "?"

Are you saying I look like I need a beating?

Well, it made sense; after all, his luck value was so high that it practically invited mockery in front of other children of destiny...

Chapter 176: Is Yun Shimei Falling Too Quickly?

Faced with the battle-hungry gaze of the Taichu holy son, Bai Feng quickly waved his hands. "I'm a formation master, not really good at fighting."

"What a pity," the Taichu holy son shook his head and turned back to chat with Lin Yan.

'What a battle maniac...'

Bai Feng silently complained, but thankfully, the other party didn't press further.

At that moment, the Yaochi holy daughter Jiang Ling suddenly asked, "Pei Shixiong, do you feel the same way?"

The Taichu holy son turned around and nodded. "Indeed, the moment I saw Bai Shidi, I felt he would be a formidable opponent. Just one glance ignited my fighting spirit."

"I feel the same way!" Jiang Ling turned to Bai Feng, her pink tongue lightly licking her lips. "It makes me want to bully him a bit."

Bai Feng: "..."

Is it too late to run now?

Meanwhile, Bai Yu Mo suddenly became alert. She took a step toward Bai Feng, almost blocking Jiang Ling's line of sight.

"Haha, Bai Shimei, don’t be so tense. I was just joking," Jiang Ling laughed, waving her hand. "And when I say 'bully,' I mean it in a consensual way. I'm not the type to be inconsiderate."

But Bai Yu Mo didn't relax her guard; instead, she became even more wary. She had a feeling this woman had some 'ill intentions' toward Bai Feng.

"Don't listen to her nonsense; she'll find a way to force you to agree."

At that moment, another voice chimed in. Bai Feng instinctively looked toward the source of the voice, and his heart gave a slight start.

Unlike everyone else present, it was a girl with golden hair. Her indifferent golden eyes looked at him, filled with a hint of confusion.

"You... are quite strange," she said, extending her right hand adorned with a golden bracelet, as if calculating something.

Bai Feng stared at her for a few seconds. More than her words, he was curious about why there was a golden-haired girl here. Was that hair natural?

He glanced at the system and found that she was not a child of destiny.

Seemingly noticing the puzzled looks from Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo, the golden-haired girl came back to her senses. She looked at the two and softly introduced herself. "I'm the holy daughter of the Tianyan Sacred Land. You can call me Tianyan. I just arrived this morning due to some matters."

Bai Feng blinked, wondering if her name was intentional.

Jiang Ling, standing nearby, smiled and explained, "The holy daughter of the Tianyan Sacred Land inherits the name 'Tianyan.' Unlike us, the holy daughter of Tianyan Sacred Land will not change unless she dies or enters a closed-door training."

"Now I see," Bai Feng nodded, beginning to understand why Yun Yue Yao, a child of destiny, hadn't become the holy daughter of the Tianyan Sacred Land.

"And you..." Tianyan seemed not to have heard their conversation. She continued to look at Bai Yu Mo, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You are also quite strange."

Bai Yu Mo frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

"Don't mind her; the holy daughter of Tianyan is always a bit cryptic. She either speaks nonsense or claims that secrets cannot be revealed," Jiang Ling waved her hand, as if the two weren't on good terms.

Tianyan, however, seemed to ignore her and continued speaking to Bai Yu Mo. "I can't see your fate; it's almost completely blurred. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation—no, the second time. I can usually glimpse the fates of other holy sons and daughters from different sacred lands."

"Um, sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your secrets. After I became a holy daughter and gained recognition from the Tianyan realm, I would be able to see the fates of others. It's not something I can control." Then, as if recalling something, she quickly expressed her apologies.

'Fate?'

Bai Feng felt a bit skeptical. So this is what fortune-tellers can see?

But why couldn't Tianyan see his and Bai Yu Mo's fates?

If it was because of the system, then what about Bai Yu Mo?

Was it her celestial bone? Or was it due to her body tempering technique?

He felt it might be a combination of both, as Bai Yu Mo had completely fused her celestial bone after practicing the body tempering technique. Now, she could be considered to possess half a celestial body.

At that moment, Tianyan looked at him again. "Your name is Bai Feng, right? I would like to request something from you."

Although Bai Feng felt a bit wary, he merely asked with a hint of confusion, "What is it, Senior Sister Tianyan?"

"I want to make a deal with you." Tianyan raised her head. Although her face showed little expression, Bai Feng could see the desire deep in her eyes. "If you ever come to Zhongzhou, please be sure to notify me. No matter what it is, I can help."

"Why?"

Bai Feng was puzzled, unable to comprehend Tianyan's request.

"Oh, I see..." Tianyan nodded. "The technique I practice requires me to experience the flow of fate firsthand. Being with you would benefit my cultivation."

"What were you about to say earlier?" Bai Feng continued to ask.

Tianyan shook her head. "You'll find out later."

"…"

Damn riddle-maker! Jiang Ling was right; the holy daughter of Tianyan spoke in such cryptic terms, completely avoiding straightforward conversation!

By comparison, Yun Yue Yao was a bit cuter; at least she wouldn't deliberately speak in riddles.

"Are you not worried that I won't agree?" Bai Feng squinted and asked.

"I'll keep this deal open for you," Tianyan seemed unfazed by Bai Feng's threat. "During this time, you can contact the Tianyan Sacred Land anytime. I can represent the Tianyan Sacred Land to assist you, even if you don't agree to our deal."

"…Let me think about it."

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face. Although Tianyan was full of riddles, her attitude was quite pleasant, and Bai Feng felt it would be rude to press further.
