As the Young Master of the Western Demon Cult, Yubao had never been short of women around him since he grew up. He had all kinds of beautiful women, from noble ladies to martial arts heroines and demonic enchantresses. Each one was as beautiful as a flower. Although Wu Xuemei was not bad-looking, she still paled in comparison to those women. Moreover, their personalities varied—some were gentle, some were willful, some were steady, some were cheerful, and some were virtuous. Even if these women had good personalities and excellent backgrounds, deep down they all shared the same nature (there's no helping it; most women in ancient tales are like this), and he only regarded them as playthings. Wu Xuemei was different; he saw too many virtues in her and the warmth he had always sought. The rice noodles made by Wu Xuemei were delicious. He liked going to the Rice Noodle Shop not because the food was novel or tasty, but because the food made by Wu Xuemei carried the taste of home. From the moment he started paying attention to her because he liked her cooking, every quality she displayed made his heart flutter, and he eventually fell for her.
"I didn't expect someone in Luozhen to recognize my identity. I'm worried if another person appears; if Yuluocha finds out, it will implicate you all. So I must leave."
"Don't go!" Wu Xuemei grabbed Yubao's hand. "Aren't we together? With Bai Tang here, Yuluocha is no problem at all!"
Yubao stared wide-eyed. "You don't know how terrifying Yuluocha is."
"No matter how terrifying, she can't compare to Tang Tang. Even if Tang Tang doesn't take action, Karen Adrian can handle Yuluocha." Wu Xuemei said confidently.
Yubao still didn't believe it. Bai Tang spoke straightforwardly: "Karen Adrian, throw him into the formation outside Zhuangzi."
Karen Adrian suddenly appeared behind Yubao like a ghost, grabbed his collar, and dragged him out. Wu Xuemei and Yubao didn't even have time to protest.
"Tang Tang... there won't be any problems, right?" Wu Xuemei asked with concern.
"Don't worry; he won't die. Even if he does, I'll bring him back for you." Bai Tang activated the formation but only unleashed one-tenth of its power. The protective formation outside the Manor hadn't been activated since Bai Tang upgraded it—no one else liked to climb over the Main Gate like Lu Feng did—if it remained inactive any longer, it would gather dust; now was just the right time to stretch its legs.
Wu Xuemei no longer worried; her Tang Tang was amazing! She simply went to the Kitchen to cook delicious food with Bai Ma since her Ah Yu loved eating her cooking.
Bai Dad sipped tea and enjoyed the show with great delight. He couldn't believe he could become related by marriage to the most powerful and mysterious BSS in "Lu Feng." Although it was fake, it was still quite impressive; too bad he couldn't boast about it to his old chess buddies. Sighing, Bai Dad missed those chess friends and wondered how they were doing now. What about that world? Had the zombies been wiped out? Once this Mei Mei matter was settled, he would let Tang Tang hurry back to that world for a visit! He had collected quite a few fresh vegetables for Tang Tang to take back.
After finishing a cup of tea, Bai Dad saw Karen Adrian returning with a disheveled Yubao. Bai Tang pointed: "That room is Mei Mei's; inside are new clothes she made for you. Go tidy yourself up before coming out."
Yubao nodded without saying a word and quickly entered Wu Xuemei's bedroom. After a while, the refreshed Young Master appeared before Bai Tang once again. At this point, he seemed much calmer.
"You just experienced only one-tenth of the formation's power," Bai Tang said. "Do you think Yuluocha can break through?"
"No!" Yubao shook his head. No wonder Wu Xuemei trusted Bai Tang so much. Just this formation alone could trap Yuluocha; moreover, Karen Adrian kindly reminded him that his master had only activated this trapping function while there were still two other capabilities—illusion and killing formations—that hadn't been triggered yet. Even activating just one of them could wear down Yuluocha.
"Then are you still leaving now?" Bai Tang tilted his head and asked with a smile, looking very much like a sister-in-law acting cute towards her brother-in-law.
Yubao smiled and said, "I'm very reassured that Amei and Kang are together!"
Bai Tang replied, "Once you marry Mei Mei, you become my family, and I will protect you."
"Thank you!" Yubao said sincerely.
"No need to thank me. It's because of your genuine feelings for Mei Mei that I accept you. If you ever wrong her, I will make your life a living hell," Bai Tang warned.
Yubao solemnly said, "Don't worry, I will only have Amei in this lifetime. I will never let her down!"
"It's time to eat!" Wu Xuemei cheerfully appeared at the door. She had heard everything Yubao said, and her eyes sparkled with happiness and joy.
Yubao walked over and took her hand. The two exchanged smiles, their gazes filled with deep affection.
"I can't take it anymore," Bai Tang said, rubbing his arms covered in goosebumps. He muttered, "Showing off love makes it go by quickly!"
"Stop it!" Bai Dad gave his daughter a light slap. "Go bring the three kids out; it's time to eat."
Bai Ma and Wu Xuemei prepared a lavish feast with a large spread of dishes, several of which were not available in ancient times, such as beer duck, cola chicken wings, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and Dry Pot Ribs. Bai Tang held Xun Huan, who had grown two little teeth and could eat meat and other foods now, but they needed to be cooked very soft. Bai Tang picked up a piece of fish, carefully removed the bones, and placed it in the child's mouth. The child eagerly chewed, his round dumpling-like face moving adorably.
Yubao watched the dumpling for a while before turning to Wu Xuemei and saying, "Let's have a cute child like this in the future!"
Wu Xuemei's face turned bright red as she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xing Xiaokang put down the half-eaten chicken leg and asked seriously, "Uncle Tian, are you going to be my stepfather?"
"Yes," Yubao replied. "Do you want me to be your father?"
Xing Xiaokang nodded: "I do, but I won't call you Dad."
Xing Xiaokang had a deep relationship with his biological father and would not forget him just because he had passed away.
“Dad?” Yubao asked, puzzled.
“It means father,” Wu Xuemei clarified for him.
“Oh, I see,” Yubao said, somewhat disappointed. “Then you can call me Uncle Yu; I don’t have the surname Tian.”
“Huh? Uncle Tian? Why don’t you have the surname Tian?” Xing Xiaokang blinked in confusion.
“Why ask so much? You just need to call him Uncle Yu after you know,” Wu Xuemei tapped her son’s bowl. “Eat your chicken leg.”
“Actually—” Bai Tang slowly spoke up, “Kang doesn’t want to call Young Master Yu dad; he can call him father!”
“Ah, right!” Bai Ma clapped her hands. “That way of addressing is good; it distinguishes Xing’s dad and is suitable for this era.”
Hearing Grandma Bai agree, Xing Xiaokang immediately sweetly called out, “Father!”
“Good boy!” Yubao ruffled Xing Xiaokang’s hair, happily agreeing.
The meal ended in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere. After dinner, Yubao did not return home but was invited to stay at the Manor by Bai Dad and Bai Ma. Yubao accompanied Bai Dad to play chess; Yubao was very skilled at chess, while Bai Dad was quite poor at it. For Yubao to lose a game without leaving any traces would be quite difficult. Bai Tang watched from the side and felt sorry for him.
By the time dinner was served, the two had just finished their chess game, and at that moment, Young Master Yu's back was soaked with sweat.
“This person has a good temperament,” Bai Dad whispered to his daughter. He certainly knew how poor his chess skills were; for Yubao to accompany him for so long showed both patience and character. One could discern a person's character through their moves in chess.
In the evening, Yubao still stayed at the villa as requested by Bai Tang. The others had already accepted Yubao, so there was no further thought about this decision. As night fell and everyone drifted into sleep, Bai Tang stepped out of the house.
Karen Adrian quietly came out of her room and walked up behind Bai Tang.
"You should go back and rest; I can handle it myself," Bai Tang said lightly.
Karen Adrian silently returned to his room. He had long noticed that Bai Tang's attitude toward him had changed. Many matters were now handled by her personally rather than being entrusted to him. He had a premonition that the time for their master-servant contract to end was not far off.
"Jade Master, your esteemed presence graces us; why not come in for a chat? Let me treat you well as a host," Bai Tang called out toward the empty front.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the darkness ahead. "Are you inviting me to my death?"
Although he did not understand formations, he instinctively felt that there were formidable traps set around this villa. Even with his mastery, he could still fall victim to them.
"How could that be! As long as Jade Master enters through the Main Gate and visits openly, it will definitely not be dangerous," Bai Tang replied with a smile.
Mist began to rise in the night, and a faint silhouette appeared within it, seeming lighter than the mist itself, more ethereal and elusive. The mist was grayish-white, and so was the figure, shrouded in smoke. Even if one saw this person appear with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe they truly emerged from the earth. Even knowing he was neither a ghost nor a spirit, it was difficult to accept he was indeed a person.
The figure in the mist looked at Bai Tang from afar, and she looked back at him. The first thing she noticed were his eyes. No one could describe what kind of eyes they were. His eyes were certainly on his face, but his face seemed to dissolve into the mist. Although his eyes shone with light, even that light appeared to merge with the fog.
The man stepped out of the mist, yet the haze on his face did not dissipate. It was ordinarily impossible to see his features clearly through the mist, but Bai Tang could see him distinctly. He had an exceptionally handsome face; apart from a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he looked very young. This face was extremely familiar to Bai Tang. No wonder Yu Luocha concealed his face in mist; it was because he bore a striking resemblance to Ximen Chui Xue. If he revealed his true appearance, others would definitely guess his connection to Ximen Chui Xue. (To be continued)
