The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C121

Chapter 121: Senior brother, Attack!

Two days later, in the afternoon, Feng Yudie sat at the dressing table in Xiao Yunluo’s bedroom, allowing Xiao Yunluo to handle her face and hair.

“Senior Sister Xiao, make me look a bit haggard, so no one can figure it out.”

“I understand!”

Xiao Yunluo, feeling a bit helpless, used a pale makeup powder on the back of her hand and applied it gently to Feng Yudie’s cheeks with a brush. With Xiao Yunluo’s makeup skills, Feng Yudie quickly transformed into a worn-out appearance, as if her entire being had been drained. She had sunken eye sockets, and distinct cheekbones, as if she had been battling a severe illness for many years.

Feng Yudie picked up a bronze mirror, turned her head left and right, and quickly praised, “Senior Sister Xiao, you’re amazing…”

“It’s nothing. Just a tired makeup look. Use some black and white powder on the face.” Xiao Yunluo put down the brush and asked, “Why do you want me to do this to you?”

“Hehe… This is called the Arrogant Soldier Strategy!”

“Arrogant soldier’s plan?”

Feng Yudie rubbed her nose and explained, “The day before yesterday, didn’t I help you consume the soul? It’s been two days, and I should look haggard. When I go to pick up Junior Sister Li later, that demonic cultivator will see me like this and think her soul is still attached to me. After we fight, she won’t pay attention to me, and I can sneak attack her, hehe…”

Xiao Yunluo raised her eyebrows, understanding her intentions, and asked, “Did Ye Anping instruct you to do this?”

“Ah?”

“Why are you paying attention to such details?” Xiao Yunluo smirked, hands on hips, and said, “It must have been Ye Anping who reminded you.”

“…”

Feng Yudie blinked, wondering if Xiao Yunluo considered her that naive. As it turned out, Xiao Tian reminded her about this.

“Yudie, after letting Xiao girl put on your makeup, go find Li girl.”

“Huh? Makeup? Why makeup?”

“That Wu Yue will be suspicious if she sees you looking unharmed after being hit by a soul. She’s a core formation stage demon cultivator. If you can’t surprise attack her, it’ll be troublesome.”

Feng Yudie didn’t say much, shrugged, stood up, and checked her storage bag.

“Pills… Talismans… Well, everything’s ready. Senior Sister Xiao, be careful while I’m away. Don’t let other demon cultivators take advantage of you.”

“I know!”

Xiao Yunluo frowned, then pointed her sword finger, took out a bottle of elixir from her storage bag, and handed it over.

“Give.”

“What elixir is this?” Feng Yudie twisted her eyebrows, took it, uncorked the bottle, and sniffed, “It’s dark… and smells bad.”

“It’s the Shocking Pill, particularly effective against the souls nurtured by demon cultivators. I bought it from Chilong Mansion’s outer mansion. Quite expensive.”

“How much?”

“I bought two hundred, for a total of ten thousand spirit stones. Here are twenty.”

“Fifty spirit stones for one?!” Feng Yudie’s eyes widened as she stared at the elixir in her hand in disbelief.

“You can buy a top-quality spirit-gathering elixir at this price. Is this elixir really that expensive?”

“Normally, not many people would buy it, and besides, this elixir is challenging to preserve,” Xiao Yunluo explained, spreading her hands. “But indeed, it’s quite overpriced. I remember in the Xuanxing Sect’s alchemy room, you could get a bottle of this elixir for fifty spirit stones.”

Roar… unscrupulous merchant..,” Feng Yudie muttered, rolling her eyes. She stored the elixir in her spatial pouch and then arched her hand, saying, “Well then, I’ll be going. Senior Sister Xiao, see you in the evening.”

“Be careful,” Xiao Yunluo warned.

“Hehe… Senior Sister Xiao, you’re showing concern for me,” Feng Yudie teased.

Xiao Yunluo shot her a glance, crossed her arms, and said, “I told you to convey the message to Ye Anping and ask him to be careful. Who cares about you two fools? Hmph!

“Hehe…” Feng Yudie chuckled ambiguously, not saying much. She picked up her sword and pushed open the door, heading towards Li Longling’s residence.

After walking along the paths of the Chilong Mansion for a while and passing through three small courtyards, Feng Yudie arrived at the attic where Li Longling lived. She informed the maid at the entrance, and in no time, Li Longling emerged wearing a dark-colored robe.

Wu Yue accompanied her. Approaching Feng Yudie, Wu Yue glanced at her complexion and asked concernedly, “Miss Feng, why do you look so pale?”

“Ah…” Feng Yudie instantly acted weak, covering her mouth and coughing twice. “Ahem… it seems I’ve caught the summer heat. Didn’t sleep well the past two nights, feeling a bit dizzy.”

Hearing this, Li Longling’s expression changed. She quickly said, “Senior Sister Feng, why don’t you go back to rest? I’ll have our mansion’s physician check on you later.”

“Cough… it’s okay. My junior brother doesn’t know you, so I have to go,” Feng Yudie replied.

Feng Yudie took a deep breath and moved closer, hugging Li Longling’s waist. Summoning her flying sword, she stepped on it.

“Junior Sister Li, is it inconvenient for you to hold the sword while I carry you?” She asked.

“Ah… Senior Sister Feng, your voice sounds hoarse. I can let Wu Yue..,” Li Longling started to say.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll hold you,” Feng Yudie grinned. “Holding a beautiful woman might make me feel better later.”

Li Longling was unsure how to respond but didn’t say anything. After a soft acknowledgment, she let Feng Yudie pick her up like a princess.

“Wu Yue, follow us,” Feng Yudie instructed.

“Yes, Miss,” Wu Yue replied, bowing, and summoned her flying sword to join them.

The three of them, with two swords, ascended into the air and headed towards Sanhe Lake outside Duchun City in a straight line. Xiao Tian emerged, sitting silently on Feng Yudie’s shoulder, watching Wu Yue closely to prevent any attacks during their flight.

After flying for about fifteen minutes, they landed by the calm lakeside. Li Longling, not used to being in the woods, felt a bit nervous after stepping down from Feng Yudie’s arms. She instinctively grabbed Feng Yudie’s sleeve and asked, “Senior Sister Feng, are we here?”

“In the pavilion in front, my junior brother is waiting there,” Feng Yudie guided.

“Got it,” Li Longling responded with a nod.

Li Longling pursed her lips, nodded slowly, and then, with Feng Yudie’s support, she slowly walked to a lakeside pavilion not far ahead.

Ye Anping was sitting alone in the pavilion at this time. When he saw Feng Yudie and the others approaching, he stood up with a smile and bowed his hands.

“Young Master Li, I am Ye Anping. Please come into the pavilion and chat,” Ye Anping welcomed.

Li Longling, still expecting a mature man’s voice, was momentarily surprised to hear a young voice. Nevertheless, she bowed back and said, “Senior Ye, you’re welcome.”

While the two conversed, Feng Yudie, standing beside Wu Yue, desperately tried to signal Ye Anping: Can I attack? When should I shoot? Now?

Observing Feng Yudie’s haggard appearance, Ye Anping was initially puzzled about her makeup but quickly speculated that she and Wu Yue had already clashed.

Smart move, no-nonsense… Ye Anping sighed softly and shook his head slightly.

Wait!

Feng Yudie blinked in response, indicating she understood.

Once Wu Yue and Li Longling entered the pavilion, Ye Anping took the initiative to pour tea for Li Longling and said, “Young Master Li, I won’t beat around the bush.”

Li Longling, expecting a severe conversation, responded, “Well, Senior Ye, please tell me why you invited me here.”

“Just to treat you to a cup of tea,” Ye Anping replied casually.

Li Longling was momentarily confused, tilting her head, “Tea? But… Senior Sister Feng said to you…”

“Young Master Li, my apologies,” Ye Anping interrupted.

“Hmm?” Li Longling questioned.

Suddenly, Ye Anping reached out, crossed the stone table, grabbed her shoulders, and forcefully pulled her up from the stone bench, shouting, “Attack!”

Almost instantly, Feng Yudie gripped her spirit sword and approached Wu Yue’s side.

“I’ve been waiting for that word from you!” Feng Yudie exclaimed.

Wu Yue, entirely unprepared for the turn of events, didn’t react immediately.

“What?!” She exclaimed.

In that instant, a swift sword wind rose in the pavilion, resembling an evil dragon awakening.
