Chapter 443: What Are You Doing?

Seeing that Feng Hao hadn’t refused, Xi Yueyao sensed an opening. She pressed her advantage, calling him “Brother Feng” over and over again in a voice so sweet it made him tingle all over.

“Brother Feng, please just say yes! Yaoyao promises to be good from now on,” Xi Yueyao said, her eyes full of tenderness.

Faced with such an offensive, Feng Hao quickly surrendered. ‘What can I do?’ he thought. ‘She’s my wife, after all.’

“Alright, alright, I’ll agree, okay? But the source of the blood for the grafting is a problem. Your sister is different from us. She’s on the Power Path, so our talents aren’t suitable for her,” Feng Hao said exasperatedly, pinching Xi Yueyao’s nose.

But Xi Yueyao let out a joyful cheer, her eyes sparkling mischievously. “Hehe, I’ve already prepared for that.”

As she spoke, she pulled four exquisite potion vials from her Spatial Ring, each filled with fresh, red blood.

“…” Feng Hao was instantly dumbfounded. His mouth twitched as he said, “You little troublemaker, fess up. How long have you been planning this?!”

Xi Yueyao’s face flushed red. She leaned obediently into Feng Hao’s arms and said softly, “Actually, I started planning this ever since the first time you performed the grafting for me.”

“Whoa, you two sisters are really close, huh!” Feng Hao said, still exasperated.

“Of course. My sister dotes on me the most. Ever since we were little, no matter how much she liked something, if I wanted it, she’d always give it to me.” Xi Yueyao rested quietly in Feng Hao’s arms, appearing unusually docile.

Feng Hao could understand the bond between the Yao Girl and her sister, Xiyue Frost. After all, he had a sister of his own.

But there were still some differences between brothers and sisters. If he remembered correctly, he had stolen his little sister Feng Ran’s snacks more than a few times when they were kids.

Each time, Feng Ran would burst into tears, and then he would get a “mixed doubles” beating from his mom and dad.

In the end, his little sister would still wipe her tears and follow him around like his little shadow…

A warm feeling washed over Feng Hao at the thought. He looked down, patted the Yao Girl’s shoulder, and said softly, “Looks like my girl has really grown up. We’ll go see your sister together tomorrow.”

“No, you should go by yourself. Don’t let my sister know I was the one who sent you,” Xi Yueyao said quietly.

Feng Hao gave a wry smile, naturally understanding what she meant. “Alright. I’ll go see her myself tomorrow.”

It couldn’t be helped. His sister-in-law was great in every way, except she was too proud. If she knew the idea came from the Yao Girl, she would probably die before accepting Feng Hao’s grafting.

The night passed without a word, and the young couple slept especially soundly.

The next day, after dropping Xi Yueyao off at the Array Department, Feng Hao turned his car around and headed for Xiyue Frost’s dormitory.

Xiyue Frost was as cold as ever. Upon seeing Feng Hao, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes before she calmly invited him into her dorm. “Out with it. What do you want?”

“What a thing to say. We’re all family. Can’t I just come by to visit?” Feng Hao teased with a smile, looking around the empty dorm and asking curiously, “Huh? Is Man Tiaotiao not here?”

Xiyue Frost watched Feng Hao with a puzzled expression for a few moments, then pursed her lips and answered, “Yun Jiansong picked her up early this morning.”

“Right, those two are in the honeymoon phase,” Feng Hao said with a wry smile, then asked again, “Wait, aren’t Chief Black Cat and Xiaohai supposed to be with you? Where did they go?”

“Miaomiao is in the back mountains, teaching Xiaohai how to hunt,” Xiyue Frost replied calmly.

Feng Hao nodded in understanding, a wicked smile playing on his lips. “So, you’re all alone right now?”

Xiyue Frost’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. “If you have something to say, say it. I need to cultivate.”

“Hey now, it’s just cultivation. I’m not in a hurry, so why are you?” Feng Hao teased.

“What is it you really want?” Xiyue Frost asked, growing impatient.

“Nothing much. I was just bored and wanted to bond with you a little,” Feng Hao said with a wide grin. He casually walked to the door, locked it tight, then put on a villainous expression and slowly advanced on Xiyue Frost.

Seeing Feng Hao suddenly lock the door, Xiyue Frost’s expression changed. A trace of panic rippled through her calm eyes.

“What are you doing? I’m your wife’s sister!” Xiyue Frost’s face went pale as she nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes.

In just a few seconds, countless past scenes flashed through Xiyue Frost’s mind, and she thought of all sorts of strange things…

Seeing that Xiyue Frost was truly flustered, Feng Hao immediately knew when to quit. After all, a joke could only be taken so far.

“Hehe, just kidding. Don’t overthink it.” Feng Hao’s expression turned serious. He took the opportunity to sit down next to Xiyue Frost and said with a solemn face, “I came to find you today for something very important.”

Hearing this, Xiyue Frost finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still pounding wildly. Seeing Feng Hao sit next to her, she subconsciously shuffled a short distance away.

“What important matter? Did Yaoyao get into trouble again?” Xiyue Frost asked seriously, forcing down her inner turmoil.

“Not at all.” Feng Hao shook his head in surprise, then casually took out the four vials of blood the Yao Girl had prepared. He took a deep breath and said gravely, “I came this time to help you improve your strength.”

Xiyue Frost stared at the four vials of blood, her eyes filled with bewilderment. “Improve my strength?”

“That’s right.” Feng Hao’s expression was grave. “Don’t you find my strength strange? My aptitude is clearly terrible, yet my combat power far exceeds that of other Mages at the same level.”

Xiyue Frost paused, knitting her brows before nodding. “It is indeed a bit strange.”

“So? Do you want to become strange like me?” Feng Hao asked with a slight smile.

Xiyue Frost was slightly taken aback. Her beautiful eyes stared at Feng Hao for a long time before she finally spoke slowly, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“…” Feng Hao was speechless. ‘After all that, this woman still doesn’t get it.’

Since she didn’t understand, Feng Hao couldn’t be bothered to explain. He directly opened a vial of blood and got to work. “Relax your mind. Let my Divine Sense enter your sea of consciousness. I’m going to use a bloodline ability to modify your Genetic Tree.”

“Modify my Genetic Tree?” Xiyue Frost exclaimed in shock and doubt. She was about to say something more, but she found that Feng Hao’s finger, dipped in fresh blood, was already pressing against the spot between her eyebrows.

“Don’t talk. Close your eyes,” Feng Hao said coldly.

Xiyue Frost opened her mouth, her beautiful eyes fixed on Feng Hao for a moment. In the end, she closed them and slowly relaxed her mind.

The rest of the process was relatively simple. Following the steps for grafting a Genetic Tree, Feng Hao began the meticulous modification.

At the same time, Feng Hao got his first up-close look at Xiyue Frost’s Genetic Tree. The four existing Talent Branches were all typical Warrior talents:

[Physique: +1 Vitality Growth]

[Explosive Power (Each point of Strength increases max power output by 0.5%)]

[Heavy Weapon Specialization (Each point of weapon weight increases lethality by 1)]

[Bloodbath: For every 100 points of Qi Blood lost, Power increases by 1]

In Feng Hao’s opinion, the direction of Xiyue Frost’s talents was a bit like a Berserker from certain games on Earth. This was especially true for [Explosive Power] and [Bloodbath]; they were practically cut from the same cloth.

And for these four talents, the Yao Girl had already prepared corresponding talents from the same source.

What he had to do now was extract their genetic structures from the four vials of blood, sever the corresponding Talent Branches, and graft them onto Xiyue Frost’s Genetic Tree.
