Chapter 389: Senior brother, bear all this alone
In a small room in the corner of the Commander’s Mansion, the soothing medicinal aroma accompanied by the aroma of sauce filled the entire room. On a square mahogany table, there was a steaming plate of sauce-flavored roast chicken with oily skin.
On one side of the square table, Xiao Yunluo crossed her arms across her chest and stared at Feng Yudie across the table with her lavender eyes. Her expression was extremely serious, like an old mother teaching her children a lesson.
How could a mere idiot do something she couldn’t do so calmly?
She’s a fool!
Every time Ye Anping encountered danger, she failed to help and could only watch from the sidelines.
Even in the process of defeating the group of demonic cultivators, she had no special achievements. She just followed Lianxue all the way and restrained the Nascent Soul demonic cultivator with her.
Xiao Yunluo bit her lips lightly, feeling very unbalanced. She couldn’t compare to Pei Lianxue, she admitted. After all, Pei Lianxue practiced sword condensation diligently every day and even cultivated hard with Ye Anping when she was young…
But, couldn’t compare to the Second Idiot?!
I’m sorry I can’t accept it!
——Do you know how hard I worked to get Ye Anping’s love?
——Do you know how many books I have read and how many pills I have taken to cultivate?
——After forming the core, I even ignored the dissuasion of the elders, abolished the Sword Cultivating Heart Technique, and switched to practicing Dharma.
The second idiot kissed Ye Anping in front of so many people, especially in front of Lianxue! Afterward, Lianxue thanked her!
She couldn’t do it!
As for cultivation, she didn’t even see Second Idiot cultivating seriously!
Since forming the core, the Second Idiot had either been eating roast chicken every day, or hanging around Pei Lianxue to make her happy, without doing anything serious at all!
However, the second idiot was better than her!
Woo——
The more Xiao Yunluo thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her face turned into a round piece of bitter melon. Feng Yudie, who was sitting across the table, had no idea what she had done wrong. She could only tell that Senior Sister Xiao seemed very angry.
After being stared at by Xiao Yunluo for a while, Feng Yudie couldn’t help it anymore. She compared her right hand to a villain, with her index and middle fingers, and slowly walked toward the plate of roast chicken on the table.
However, just when she was about to touch the plate.
Snap–
Feng Yudie quickly retracted her hands, straightened her back, blinked her eyes, and said pitifully:
“Senior Sister Xiao, the roast chicken is getting cold. It won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“Eat! You only know how to eat!”
Xiao Yunluo gritted her teeth slightly, reached across the table, pinched her cheek, and pinched hard:
“When did you get along with Anping?”
“Ah…” Feng Yudie grabbed her hand with a confused look on her face, “Why am I getting close to Young Master Ye? I didn’t…”
“It didn’t go well, so why didn’t you hesitate at all when you kissed him just now? Tell me, how many times did you kiss him? Where? When? Tell the truth!”
“Ouch… Senior Sister Xiao, it hurts…” Feng Yudie patted Xiao Yunluo’s little hand and begged for mercy, “Just… just twice.”
“Twice?”
“Just once, when Young Master Ye and I were buried under the mountain, we accidentally kissed each other.”
Xiao Yunluo let go of her face, tilted her head, and asked, “When buried?”
Feng Yudie rubbed her red cheeks and replied softly, “It’s unexpected… and I just kissed him to save him. No matter how good Young Master Ye is to me, I can’t just watch his life in danger and do nothing.”
“…that is it?”
“It’s just like this, otherwise?”
Xiao Yunluo narrowed her eyes and asked, “You don’t want to be his Daoist companion?”
“I am devoted to Junior Sister Pei, and Young Master Ye is… just…” Feng Yudie stuttered, slowly lowering her eyes and thinking for a while, “I don’t know, but Young Master Ye is very good to me…”
“Is that okay if I buy you roast chicken?”
“He also helped me earn spiritual stones, and he also saved me several times. If he hadn’t arrived in time, I would have been killed by Gu Mingxin. Also, Senior Sister Xiao, he bought all your swords. It’s for me!”
My sword…
When Xiao Yunluo heard this, she felt as if an arrow had been shot in her heart, and her heart suddenly throbbed inexplicably. Until now, there were still no clues about the ten thousand-year black stone spirit sword that her mother gave her.
In the past few years, she had asked the elders of the Xuanxing Sect to help her inquire, but the cultivators from the Seven Killing Sect also inexplicably disappeared completely with the destruction of the Seven Killing Sect in the Western Domain.
The next few spiritual swords: one was broken, one was given to Lingxue, and one was in the hands of the second fool.
Years ago, she had just finished her tribulation and went to the Xuanxing Sect sword pavilion. As soon as she entered, Mr. Liu from the sword pavilion stared at her with murderous eyes and asked: “Master Xiao! You gave it to me again! Did you lose the sword when you were fighting?!”
The look in his eyes seemed to be peeling her skin off and deboning her, so much so that she was still worried about it and didn’t dare to take another step into the Xuanxing Sect’s sword pavilion.
Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips slightly and calmed down. Suddenly she saw Feng Yudie’s brows tightening. After thinking for a while, she asked:
“How do you feel about the kiss with Anping?”
“Hmm… It’s like roasted chicken skin, salty and quite slippery.”
“You like it?”
“I quite like it… Hehe.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunluo immediately reached out and grabbed her cheek, pulling her face into a big pie:
“Then you said you are single-mindedly devoted to Junior Sister Pei. What kind of single-mindedness do you call this? Don’t you like kissing Ye Anping?”
“Oops…” Feng Yudie quickly begged for mercy, “I don’t like Young Master Ye, and that’s not right. I agreed with Young Master Ye…”
Speaking of this, Feng Yudie raised her eyebrows, as if she suddenly realized something, and quickly explained:
“I understand!”
“…What do you understand?”
“Because Young Master Ye has kissed Junior Sister Pei, that’s why I like to kiss Young Master Ye on the mouth!”
Xiao Yunluo blinked: “Huh?”
“Yes, yes, I am devoted to Junior Sister Pei. Because Young Master Ye has kissed Junior Sister Pei before, so when I kiss him, it is equivalent to kissing Junior Sister Pei. So I like the feeling of kissing Young Master Ye, that’s it! I just don’t like to kiss Young Master Ye, but I like to kiss Junior Sister Pei!”
When Xiao Yunluo heard this, she felt as if a knot was tied in her head. She was stunned for a long time, then slowly retracted her hand and sat down.
But the more she thought about it, the more she thought the logic of Second Idiot was a little scary.
She covered her face and let out a long sigh, “Oh… That’s all, I don’t care about you anymore. Anping asked me to teach you about men and women, here~”
With that said, Xiao Yunluo took out three books from her storage bag, threw them next to the plate of roast chicken on the table, and said, “Can you even say that? You are not embarrassed, but I am embarrassed. Didn’t you see the expressions on the faces of the old doctor and Commander Xu at that time?”
Feng Yudie shrank her neck slightly and looked at the book covers of the three books. They read: “Xuan Nu Sutra”, “Jade House Secret Book”, and “Immortal Palace Picture Book – Hardcover Colored Edition”…
“Can’t I borrow a sparrow?”
“No!” Xiao Yunluo twisted her eyebrows in denial and explained, “Everything in the world can be divided into yin and yang parts. The sparrow is a yang body with yang fluid inside. If it matches the yin fluid in a woman like you and me, it will be a child.”
“… Yin and Yang.” Feng Yudie nodded, “That means that Junior Sister Pei and I both have yin fluid and need yang fluid to give birth to a child?”
“…Right!”
“Can I borrow Yang’s liquid?”
Xiao Yunluo opened her lips and teeth slightly, it seemed that she could borrow this…
She heard that some men would borrow other people’s children if they couldn’t give birth…
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunluo threw her four ponytails flying left and right, and she was almost led astray by the idiot.
“You cannot!!”
“Oh… Then how will Junior Sister Pei and I have children in the future?”
“You ask me?! Find your way!”
“So there is a way?”
“…No.”
“Then what do you want me to think of…”
“I…” Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and looked at the roast chicken on the table, “Eat your roast chicken. Read these three books yourself. If you don’t understand, ask me again.”
“Oh…”
Feng Yudie nodded aggrievedly, folded the three books neatly, put them aside, brought the roast chicken over, thought for a while, and asked:
“Sister Xiao, do you want to eat?”
“No, just read and recuperate. Your injuries are not serious either… The palm of your left hand is all…”
Xiao Yunluo turned to look at Feng Yudie’s hand, and then a trace of surprise flashed across her face.
When she brought Feng Yudie back, she watched helplessly as the four fingers and palm of Feng Yudie’s left hand were missing, but now the four fingers appeared properly on her palm.
“What’s wrong with your hand?”
“It’s grown… Hehe~”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned. She did know that some rare pills could regenerate severed limbs, but the repair process was quite slow, ranging from months to years…
She shook her head and said quickly, “You idiot… Many people know that your left hand is broken. Don’t tell anyone about it. Then you can wrap it up with a bandage yourself.”
Feng Yudie bared her teeth and said with a smile, “I know!”
Xiao Yunluo frowned: “This is very important, remember it!”
“Oh…”
Leaving Feng Yudie here to eat, Xiao Yunluo slowly stood up and walked out of the room. After Feng Yudie watched her leave, she picked up the roast chicken in front of her, hesitated for a while, and then put her mouth on the chicken’s belly:
Chirp~~
“Um?”
Chirp~~
Chirp~~
“Hmm… No, it’s a bit too salty… Um…”
…
Squeak——
The little hand pulled the door open, and it was already dusk in the sky in the distance, and little bits of fine snow fell quietly. Xiao Yunluo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had become a mother. She raised her eyes and looked into the distance, recalling in her mind Feng Yudie’s left palm that should have been cut off.
She had heard Doctor Zhou mention the word “spring of life” in the Xuanxing Sect before. It was something that all the cultivators in the world who studied medicine pursued throughout their lives.
There were thousands of Daoist cultivators in the world, but each Daoist had a common goal – immortality.
What the Dharma cultivators seek is to allow oneself to live as long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth under the repeated blows of spiritual energy.
What sword cultivators sought was to unite human beings with swords, turning themselves into swords that could withstand thousands of years of wind and frost without breaking.
Ghost cultivation was to transform ghosts, use exercises to reduce the side effects of body snatching, and then use body snatching countless times to extend one’s lifespan. Insect cultivation was to turn oneself into an insect and be able to reproduce hundreds of millions of oneself like an insect.
…
These Daoist methods had been tested by predecessors. In other words, there had been people who had successfully ascended to the immortal world through these common Daoist methods.
Most of the cultivators in the world today were just following the various techniques summed up by their predecessors on their way to immortality, and copying them from cats to tigers.
In the books Xiao Yunluo had read before, no one had ascended to the throne with his medical skills. Those medical cultivators had a very clear goal, which was to rely on their medical skills to achieve immortality, but the road was full of fog.
The idea of “Spring of immortality” was just a guess made by an unknown senior medical practitioner.
According to the book written by that person, the condition for the emergence of the spring phase was that a person’s mind needs to be as clean as a piece of paper like a baby, because the baby’s body grows and recovers the fastest.
Although Xiao Yunluo was quite surprised, she was more worried than surprised. From what she knew, it was like Zu Yuan, the leader of the Taibai Sect.
Although that man was now the cultivator with the highest moral standards among the cultivators in the Void Realm, because he only formed the core when he was seventy years old, his body had remained in the same old state even after he had returned to the Void Realm.
Although he was still a cultivator in the Void Realm, her spiritual consciousness, spiritual sea, and ethereal body were all inferior to her mother and several other Void Realm cultivators.
It was also because of this that Zu Yuan had experienced the Ascension Tribulation several times, but he almost died in the Ascension Tribulation because of a slight difference in these aspects.
She heard this from Mr. Qi. Since then, Zu Yuan had been searching for medical cultivators everywhere, hoping that those medical cultivators could make his body look younger. However, if he was still in the core-formation stage, this would not be difficult. Many elixirs could rejuvenate the body and bones, but these elixirs would have minimal effect on him as a Void Realm Cultivator.
What Xiao Yunluo was worried about now was that if Zu Yuan found out about Feng Yudie’s spring spirit, he would probably abduct Feng Yudie at all costs.
Her mother had never dealt with that old man Zu Yuan, so she would never hand over Feng Yudie.
If your obsession is too deep, you will give birth to inner demons.
What’s more, even if Feng Yudie’s spring spirit could help him, with Feng Yudie’s current cultivation level, she would be sucked dry by that old man Zu Yuan almost instantly.
“Let’s talk to Anping when he wakes up… He should have known about it for a long time, right?”
Xiao Yunluo patted her chest lightly and suppressed the matter for the time being. Even if the old doctor said it, no one would believe it. Moreover, he had saved so many royal guards in the Commander’s Mansion, so silencing him would be too much.
When Ye Anping wakes up, they should return to the Xuanxing Sect as soon as possible. It will be safe if they return to the Xuanxing Sect. After her mother finds out, she will protect Feng Yudie.
“Sigh…”
Xiao Yunluo breathed out lightly, patted her cheeks, lowered her head with red cheeks, and scratched the floor with her toes:
“It’s been almost three years, it should be almost done… um…”
Whispering, she looked around, then quickly ran back to the room Xu Mulan prepared for her, took out the flint and water stones, washed her whole body, and used the fragrant lotion that she was reluctant to use.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, she put on light makeup, rouge, and put on a thin little skirt. She sat in front of the window, looked at the darkening sky, started to pause, and prayed in my mouth:
“Lianxue comes back to sleep today! Lianxue comes back to sleep today!”
Because Pei Lianxue’s room was next to hers, as long as Pei Lianxue went back to the house to sleep, she could secretly go to Ye Anping.
It’s not like she can’t bear it!!
Ye Anping was injured, she could transfer some spiritual energy to Ye Anping so that Ye Anping would recover quickly, and if he recovered quickly, they could return to Xuanxing Sect earlier.
“Um…”
Xiao Yunluo held up her cheeks and listened carefully to the movement outside the house. The sky in her eyes also reflected the stars and the Milky Way.
After a long time, there were two knocks on the door:
Bang bang——
“Yunluo, I haven’t slept for a few days and I need to take a rest. Senior brother just fainted again. Yunluo, if you are free, go and accompany him. In case you wake up in the middle of the night or something…”
God gives me a chance!
Xiao Yunluo’s eyes lit up after hearing this, but she still pretended to be calm and replied, “Just let him sleep. It’s okay. Royal guards are guarding him. I also need to rest for a night.”
“Well… I’ll go to bed first, good night.”
“Good night……”
Whispering rustling——
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Xiao Yunluoan resisted her desire to run to Ye Anping immediately, stood up, and pressed her face against the wall.
Wow…
——”Woo~~”
Lingxue seems to be taking a bath…
Lianxue seems to have finished washing…
Lianxue seems to be lying on the bed…
Lingxue seemed to have fallen asleep…
“!!”
Xiao Yunluo’s eyes lit up. To prevent Lianxue from coming to check the ward, she stuffed a few pillows on the bed in her room, covered it with a quilt, jumped out of the window, and ran toward the main hall where Ye Anping was.
Arriving in front of the palace, just as Pei Lianxue said, two royal guards holding spears stood on both sides in front of the palace door.
When they saw Xiao Yunluo coming over, they slightly twisted their eyebrows quickly cupped their hands, and said, “It’s so late, why hasn’t Young Master Xiao rested yet? We’re here to watch, you still…”
“Ahem…” Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath, “You guys, please step back. You are also tired after suppressing demonic cultivators. I just want to stay with Young Master Ye.”
The two royal guards looked at each other, said nothing, accepted and moved out of the way.
After watching Xiao Yunluo go in, the two of them came together and whispered to each other:
“Should we go?”
“Go ahead. Didn’t Senior Pei tell us to keep an eye on her and call her if Young Master Xiao comes? She also gave us spirit stones and pills.”
“Can…”
“Oh, junior sister, we are just following orders, dealing with other people’s family matters. Young Master Ye is so lucky, he is so handsome, and all his wives are so beautiful, alas…”
The two of them let out a long sigh, then put away their spears and slowly headed toward the bedroom where Pei Lianxue lived.
…
Rustling——
The hall was very warm, and there were several lamps and candles made of flint placed around the bed, blocking out the cold and snowy air outside. Ye Anping noticed something strange underneath him, woke up leisurely, and slowly opened his eyes.
He only remembered that he seemed to have fainted again. He turned to look in the direction of the window and saw that it was already dark outside, thinking that he had probably slept for most of the day.
Just when he wanted to close his eyes and continue sleeping, he suddenly noticed a pair of purple boots that did not belong to him beside his bed, neatly placed side by side with his boots.
In the next breath——
Ziliu…
Along with a strange sound, a strange feeling came from bottom to top.
Ye Anping couldn’t help but widen his eyes, slowly pulled away his quilt, stood up, and looked down. A pair of lavender eyes filled with starlight caught his eye.
“…”
“Um?”
“Yunluo, you…”
Bo~~
“Anping, are you awake? It’s okay. Just lie down and I’ll help you recuperate.” Xiao Yunluo blushed, squinted her eyes, and smiled, “You have to have a good rest. This is your Daoist companion’s duty.”
Ye Anping hesitated to speak. After a long time, he finally managed to say:
“Yunluo, I’m still injured…”
Xiao Yunluo’s eyes were half-closed, revealing a slightly charming look:
“I’ll transfer my spiritual power to you, wouldn’t it be better for you to recover faster? Besides, it’s been almost three years, Anping. In these three years, I’ve been following your instructions and haven’t read the book once…”
“…”
Ye Anping bit his lip slightly. He could control his hands and feet, but he couldn’t…
But at that time, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the hall, and a crashing sound, like the sound of iron sliding on the ground.
Hua Hua Hua——
Ye Anping immediately realized who was coming, closed his eyes, and lay back directly.
Xiao Yunluo was a little confused, but with a “Pop” sound, the palace door was pushed open, and her confusion directly turned into fear.
A voice-like calling for life followed:
“Yunluo!!!”
“Ah?!” Xiao Yunluo was so frightened that she couldn’t help but clamp her legs, sat up, waved, and shouted, “Lianxue, wait, listen to my explanation…”
Bah–
Pei Lianxue stepped onto the threshold with her right foot, dragged the spirit sword Xiao Yunluo had given her before, and slowly walked towards the bed.
“Ah… ah…” Xiao Yunluo hesitated. Seeing Pei Lianxue getting tighter and tighter, she almost cried. She quickly looked at Ye Anping, “Anping, you… say something, help me quickly. Please advise Lianxue… I…”
However, at this time, she realized that Ye Anping, who had just woken up, had his eyes closed at the moment as if it was her hallucination.
Pei Lianxue also walked to the bed at this moment, slowly stretched her neck forward, and put her face in front of Xiao Yunluo:
“Yunluo.”
“Lianxue… I… Wu——”
“You lied to me… You said you wouldn’t fall in love with my senior brother, you clearly said that!!”
“I…” Xiao Yunluo was so frightened that her tears burst out, “Lianxue, this is all your fault!”
Ye Anping:?
Pei Lianxue turned her head thirty degrees: “Huh?”
“Who makes him so good-looking, so reliable, and so gentle to me? I… I can’t control it! Lianxue, no man I have ever met since I was a child is as good as him… I……”
Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and held the future tightly with her two little hands:
“I like your senior brother! I like Ye Anping! I won’t marry someone else!!”
Ye Anping:??
Xiao Yunluo’s little hands squeezed tighter and tighter because of fear, and Ye Anping, who was pretending to be asleep, turned increasingly blue.
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips slightly when she heard this and raised the spirit sword in her hand.
“Ah! Lianxue…”
“I am returning the spirit sword to you, the one you lent me before…”
“Ah?”
Pei Lianxue turned away her eyes and said:
“I am the eldest lady, you know?”
“Ah…”
Xiao Yunluo was a little dazed and didn’t come back to her senses for a long time, but her little hand finally let go of the future, letting Ye Anping, who was lying down, breathe a sigh of relief.
“Lianxue… You…”
“I’m angry! But…” Pei Lianxue looked at Ye Anping and said, “Who made my rotten senior brother, so good?”
Then, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Yunluo’s face:
“I am the eldest lady!”
“Ah… um.”
“Hmph… Senior brother is still injured, you come down first!”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment and said:
“Lianxue, this injury will heal faster, how about… or not… why don’t you come too?”
Hearing this, Ye Anping clenched his fist slightly: Xiao Yunluo, what are you teaching my junior sister? How could my junior sister agree?!
“Um…”
Um???
Seeing Pei Lianxue nodding, Xiao Yunluo’s eyes lit up, and she quickly threw the spirit sword aside, then grabbed Pei Lianxue’s hand and asked her to grab the future:
“Lianxue, let me teach you… just rub here gently like this…”
…
Ye Anping was speechless. He didn’t even know if he wanted to wake up. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to pretend to be asleep. For this reason, he remained silent and endured it all alone with his eyes closed…
…
Lol
