Chapter 393: Old Loli, tense
In the Northern Domain, the silver moon was like a hook, and the vast white snow swept across thousands of miles of territory. The snow-capped mountains and deep forests were deserted, and there were no immortal towns or villages around this place. Occasionally, you could hear the cries of wolves and foxes in the mountains and fields.
There was no bonfire lit in the hidden cave, only the silvery white moonlight shining through the cave entrance as illumination.
Ye Anping was wearing a snow-white velvet coat, sitting cross-legged on a grass cattail, closing his eyes and concentrating on recuperating. The fatigue on his face gradually dissipated as his injuries recovered.
Pei Lianxue, who was guarding beside him, noticed that his senior brother’s breath had calmed down a lot, so she also asked in a low voice:
“Senior brother, where will we go next?”
Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yunluo and Li Longling, who were holding their thighs and wrapped in blankets, and then at Feng Yudie, who was holding a roasted chicken, and finally looked at his junior sister, with a smile on his face. A little helpless, he asked with a smile, “Junior sister, what were you and Yun Luo planning to do when you came to the Northern Domain?”
Pei Lianxue lowered her head guiltily for a moment and replied in a low voice:
“Collect… Medicine…”
“Anything else?”
“Besides…”
Xiao Yunluo next to her spoke quickly and helped Pei Lianxue defend herself, “Anping, we are here to collect medicine. Didn’t Lianxue send you a jade slip before?”
Ye Anping turned to look at her and asked, “Where is the medicine?”
“Medicine…” Xiao Yunluo shrank her neck and quickly turned to look at Feng Yudie, “You idiot, where is the medicine?”
“Um?”
Feng Yudie looked confused, then nodded in realization, and took out a few spiritual herbs with a faint blue light from her storage bag:
“Yes, yes, I dug a lot! Enough for us to go back and hand in the mission. What is this… Snow Spirit Grass?”
She went digging…
Ye Anping was speechless, shook his head, then raised his hand and knocked Pei Lianxue on the forehead, asking, “Other than that?”
Xiao Yunluo quickly replied, “No~ I’m just here to dig for spiritual grass. This snow spiritual grass is only found in the Northern Domain and is not sold in the Han Tian Kingdom. Isn’t that right, Lianxue?”
Ye Anping shook his head slightly and looked at Pei Lianxue:
“Huh? Right? Junior sister…”
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, glanced at her senior brother with a fearful expression, and said, “Brother, I’m sorry…”
Seeing that she apologized, Ye Anping also breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her little head lovingly:
“Well… don’t lie to senior brother next time. After Senior Brother passed through the Heavenly Tribulation, he learned that you had come to the Northern Domain. He took Long Ling and chased you here without rest, for fear that you would encounter a demon cultivator.”
Pei Lianxue gently held her clothes:
“Sorry…”
“Forget it, senior brother is also responsible for this.” Ye Anping shook his head slightly, “I didn’t expect that you could remember the name ‘Xi Yue’ so clearly that you would come here to look for it.”
“I’m just afraid that senior brother won’t want me anymore after he finds Xi Yue.”
“…Silly girl.”
“Senior brother, are you going to find Xi Yue in the future?”
“Hasn’t it been found already? Xu Xiyue, Xu Mulan’s sister.”
Hearing this, Pei Lianxue was stunned, and Xiao Yunluo also raised her eyebrows. They both thought that Xu Xiyue just had the same name.
Xiao Yunluo asked in disbelief, “Ah? Anping, isn’t she only twelve years old? Lianxue said that you missed her when you were a child, but when you were a child…”
“It’s hard to explain, but it is indeed her.”
“Then… You take her back to the Western Domain?”
“It’s not necessary.” Ye Anping shook his head, “After traveling to the Northern Domain for more than half a year, I have figured out one thing. For me in the past, she and my junior sister were the two most important people to me, but now…”
Halfway through, the words stopped abruptly.
Ye Anping felt that what he was about to say was a bit disgusting, so he just glanced at the girls around him again, but when he saw Feng Yudie, who was now full of oil, he quickly lowered his head and let out a long sigh.
Cultivators often say, to live up to your original intention. His original intention was Xi Yue. She originally planned to get a second- or third-grade golden core after surviving the “unexpected” death disaster, come to the Northern Domain to find Xi Yue, and take her back to the Hundred Lotus Sect to be at peace with her.
Hundreds of years later, when he and Xi Yue’s longevity comes to an end, his junior sister would most likely have become a Nascent Soul monk. She might even have transformed into a god taken over as the Grandmaster of the Hundred Lotus Sect, or gone out on her own to found a sect.
This was his initial thought.
But who could have imagined it?
When he originally rescued Feng Yudie, his original intention was to correct the world line.
However, in the process of correcting the world line again and again, the world line turned around and headed in another direction.
As the saying goes, those who enter the game are confused, but those who watch are clear.
After experiencing this trip to the Northern Domain, Ye Anping understood such a simple and obvious truth:
——Ever since he took his junior sister to kill “Wu You” in Longxi Town, this world is no longer the game world of “Sword of Heavenly Sword”.
It was also after that incident that Ye Anping, the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, was no longer a cannon fodder.
And since that incident, his original intention no longer suited him.
Ye Anping’s eyes once again swept across Pei Lianxue, Xiao Yunluo, and Li Longling. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind:
——Protect them well and keep the promise I made to them.
Xu Xiyue was the original intention set by him in the past. But now, his original intention was already his junior sisters and the others.
If after the death, we can meet again by chance…
If Xu Xiyue was willing, then he would keep his promise and take good care of her for the rest of his life. He didn’t want to, so he ended this fate, which was an explanation for himself who was once a cannon fodder.
“That’s good… That’s good…”
Ye Anping seemed to be relieved and in an unusually relaxed mood, saying,”Have a good rest today. We will continue our journey at dawn tomorrow and return to the Western Domain as soon as possible. The winter in the Northern Domain is not pleasant.”
…
————
The cold wind blew thousands of miles, passing over the prominent peaks in the southwest border of the Northern Domain. The Western Domain, which was originally spring-like all year round, had become a lot cooler because of the cold wind blowing from the Northern Domain.
The disciples in the Xuanxing Sect were now wrapped in slightly thicker autumn clothes, and the spiritual plants on each mountain peak had also entered a mature stage.
In the courtyard of Shuitian Lake in the bamboo forest on the mountainside of Danquan Peak——
Buzz buzz…
A mountain mosquito smelled the delicious smell of food, flapped its wings, and landed on the back of a girl with fair skin and a bare upper body lying on a mat, enjoying a sunbath.
Just as he was about to pierce his mouthpart into the girl’s fair skin, a golden-crowned parrot descended from the sky, lowered its head, and pecked it, turning the mountain mosquito into its dessert.
Si Xuanji lay down on the mat boredly shaking her bare feet, and asked,”How long has Ye kid been gone?”
Qiu Shuirou, who was massaging her back with fragrant lotion, sighed helplessly, drove Ah Ying away, and replied, “Young Master, you have asked this question for the seventh time today. Young Master Ye has been gone for a total of one hundred and seventy-three days since he last returned to the Xuanxing Sect.”
“That’s it…”
Si Xuanji was stunned for a moment and then stopped talking. In fact, for someone like her who had lived for thousands of years, the concept of time had long ceased to exist. She had not seen a calendar for at least hundreds of years.
Sometimes in the spring, she would go back to her cave and squint for a while. After she woke up naturally, when she walked out of the cave door, the Xuanxing Sect was already covered in snow. Then she would quickly close the door and go back to put on some clothes.
One hundred and seventy-three days, to Si Xuanji, was just the blink of an eye.
But why?
She had blinked so many times, why hadn’t Ye kid come back yet?
That’s all… sleep a little longer.
Si Xuanji relaxed, closed her eyes, and shut down all her thoughts.
When she felt it was about the same, she opened her eyes and found that Qiu Shuirou had moved her back into the house. Judging from the reflection in the window, it was already night.
Si Xuanji was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up and shouted, “Shuirou!”
After the voice fell, about five breaths later, Qiu Shuirou escaped from the bed next door, nodded politely, and asked:
“Young Master, what’s the matter?”
“How long has Ye kid been gone?”
“…One hundred and seventy-four days, you just asked me yesterday.”
“Why has it only been a day…”
Si Xuanji twisted her eyebrows, a little dissatisfied, and even wanted to move the time forward a little faster, but even a cultivator like her in the Void Return Stage could not interfere with the laws of heaven and earth.
She curled her lips, closed her eyes, and fell again. Qiu Shuirou stepped forward with a look of helplessness, covered her with the quilt, and then quietly left the room.
When Si Xuanji opened her eyes again, it was already dawn outside the house.
She felt that more than ten days had passed, so she quickly shouted again, “Shuirou!!”
Tap tap tap——
Qiu Shuirou, who was pruning the saplings outside, quickly put down the scissors in her hand, escaped, and rushed in, asking:
“Little Master, what are your orders?”
“Ye…”
Qiu Shuirou rushed to answer: “One hundred and seventy-nine days.”
“Huh? Why has it only been five days?”
Thump–
Si Xuanji curled her lips, showing some dissatisfaction, then closed her eyes again and fell.
Qiu Shuirou seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she held back and silently retreated from the room again.
When she came outside the house, Qiu Shuirou couldn’t help but sigh. The Qiu family had been with Si Xuanji for more than two thousand years. Because they have to serve Si Xuanji well, every one of them who becomes Si Xuanji’s maid will inherit a scroll.
This scroll was passed down from ancient times to the first person in the Qiu family who served Si Xuanji. Later, after Shouyuan left, she passed it on to the next one.
She was already the eleventh generation, and the book had now become a tome with more than 2,000 pages that could be used as a weapon.
It recorded Si Xuanji’s preferences and hobbies in different periods. For example, Si Xuanji liked mung bean cakes a thousand years ago, but after the owner of the mung bean cake shop in Xuanxing City died, Si Xuanji began to hate mung bean cakes.
Therefore, Qiu Shuirou was quite confused now about how to record Ye Anping…
There was no doubt that Ye Anping was a very outstanding young cultivator. However, after all, he only had the qualifications of dual spiritual roots. From now on, let alone entering the void, even transforming into a god would be very difficult.
Maybe Si Xuanji fell asleep and Ye Anping died somewhere…
However, Ye Anping was Si Xuanji’s favorite junior since ancient times, and he seemed to be the first person to sleep with her. There had never been anyone who could make her little master miss her so much as Ye Anping…
“Should I remember a few strokes, or should I remember it in detail? Alas…”
Qiu Shuirou sighed softly and continued to pick up the scissors to prune the spiritual trees in the courtyard. But she had just arrived in the garden of the cave and was about to start working…
——”Disciple Lei Wanjun, I have something important to ask to see the sect master!!”
Elder Lei’s voice came from outside the cave. Qiu Shuirou twisted her eyebrows after hearing it and was so frightened that she quickly glanced at the room where Si Xuanji was sleeping.
Lei Wanjun only returned to the Xuanxing Sect two months ago. If he disturbed the young master again, he might have to be sent somewhere again. However, seeing that there was nothing unusual in Si Xuanji’s house, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put down her scissors, and escaped outside the cave.
Just when Lei Wanjun was about to roar again, Qiu Shuirou ran to him and quickly raised her index finger in front of her lips:
“Shh – Elder Lei, the young master is sleeping. If you want anything, please write a jade slip and send it over. I will give it to the little master when he wakes up. Do you want to breed the dragons again? ?”
Lei Wanjun had a dark look on his face, took a deep breath quickly, and said, “Ah… I don’t want to come either, but Aunt Qiu… The empress of Han Tian Kingdom has already arrived outside the Xuanxing Sect’s mountain gate.”
Qiu Shuirou looked shocked: “What? Who?”
“Sun Juehu, her original words were that the sect leader invited her to be a guest of Xuanxing Sect.”
“Young master and she are not compatible, so how could you invite her here? And it’s not like you don’t know what happened in the past. The moon that the young master spat on before…”
“Of course, I know, but… she is a cultivator in the Void Realm, and he insists on seeing the sect master. How can we rush? Mr. Qi has already passed…”
Qiu Shuirou felt a little bad. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, “Elder Lei, go over first, I’ll call the sect leader…”
Lei Wanjun cupped his hands and said, “Thank you.”
Qiu Shuirou nodded, then escaped back to the cave, gently pushed open the bedroom door, walked to the bed knelt, gently held Si Xuanji’s shoulders, and shook her.
“Young Master… Young Master…”
Si Xuanji’s closed eyes opened instantly, and a trace of joy flashed in her yin and yang eyes:
“Ye…”
“No… No.”
The joy in Si Xuanji’s eyes disappeared, and the corners of her mouth curved down slightly. Now she was staring at Qiu Shuirou’s face like a college gentleman who saw his disciples deserting in class.
Qiu Shuirou was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, “Little Master, Senior Sun has arrived at the gate of Xuanxing Sect.”
“Which grandson?”
“Han Tian Kingdom, Sun Juehu.”
“Oh…”
Si Xuanji rolled her eyes at her, closed her eyes immediately, fell, turned over, put the quilt around her waist, and waved:
“Kick her out.”
Qiu Shuirou was about to cry but had no tears, so she advised:
“Young Master…”
Si Xuanji curled her lips, hearing the helplessness in Qiu Shuirou’s mouth, and turned around:
“Where is Lei Wanjun? He usually has such a loud voice. If he yells at her, won’t he scare her back?”
Qiu Shuirou pursed her lips and shook her head, not daring to answer the question. She just quickly took out a set of immortal clothes from her storage bag, and let Si Xuanji lie on the bed like she was dressing those little girls who stayed in bed, turned her over, and helped her put on her dress.
Si Xuanji, who was dressed in purple immortal clothes, looked at the ceiling with resentment, took a deep breath, sat up, jumped off the bed, and then turned into a purple aura and jumped out of the door.
When her bare feet landed on the jade bricks in front of the Xuanxing Sect’s main hall, Lei Wanjun on both sides and all the elders above the Nascent Soul stage in the Xuanxing Sect immediately raised their hands and saluted:
” Disciple pays homage to the sect master!!”
Her yin and yang eyes swept over the crowd, and her childlike voice carried a bit of coercion:
“…What about the old woman?”
Mr. Qi took a step forward: “Already in the hall.”
Si Xuanji nodded and then raised her feet.
Boom!!
The nearly thirty-foot-high solid double iron doors of the main hall were kicked open by her.
Sun Juehu, who was sitting in the guest seat, heard the sound, turned her head, narrowed her eyes, and smiled:
“Sister Danyue, are you here? Didn’t you say before that you invited your sister to come to the Western Domain as a guest? My sister happened to be free, so she came over on the way.”
“Oh.”
“Huh? Sister Danyue is so unhappy?” Sun Juehu took out a picture scroll from his sleeve, “Come and see, my sister brought a gift to my sister, and Sister Danyue will like it. ”
…
Immortal cougar cat fight incoming. Hopefully they’ll keep it passive aggressive for now
