Chapter 153: Junior sister, I want an “Ahting”
The sun was setting in the west, and the Jiang Mansion had a peaceful scene. Everything was normal except for a scream like a pig being killed from time to time in the specially reserved guest room.
Liang Zhu’s work efficiency was relatively fast. In the morning, Ye Anping asked him to help him find a few visually impaired cultivators to conduct clinical trials. At noon, he directly brought back four visually impaired cultivators.
The eye conditions of these four individuals were different from Li Longling. Two of them were “one-eyed dragons” who were blinded during a fight, one managed to save his life by relying on the Shocking Pill because of red snow that had drifted into his eyes earlier, and the other was highly myopic…
Ye Anping spent the entire afternoon with these four people, conducting his clinical trials. Although the first person had his left eye accidentally exploded by Ye Anping, the following three went smoothly, and he understood the distribution of meridians around the cultivators’ eyes.
Squeak——
The guest room door was pushed open by Ye Anping from inside. He took off his mask, removed the blood-stained apron, and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the room.
The four people brought by Liang Zhu also walked out, holding onto the wall for support. Ye Anping looked at the four people apologetically and then took out five bags containing two thousand spirit stones from his storage bag, handing them over politely.
“Thank you for cooperating with me today. Although I can’t cure your eye disease, I have helped unblock the meridians in your body. You can try it. Qi condensation should be smoother now.”
One person immediately raised his hands and saluted, expressing gratitude.
The other two didn’t say much. They weighed the bags of spirit stones in their hands and seemed quite satisfied. However, the highly myopic person among them squinted his eyes and looked at the cultivator next to him, who was holding two bags of spirit stones. He was a little jealous and asked,
“Young Master Jiang, how can you give him two?”
Ye Anping frowned slightly, and his eyes instantly turned cold,
“If I blow out your eyes, I’ll give you twice as much. If I blow out two, I’ll give you four times. What do you think?”
“…”
“Okay, everyone, please leave on your own. If you want to have a meal, that’s fine. The Jiang family will take care of the food. Jiang has something else to do, so he’ll leave first.”
Ye Anping nodded in greeting, then turned and walked towards his and his junior sister’s bedroom. Jiang Mansion was quite quiet now, and most of the servants were already waiting in the dining hall for dinner.
On the way back, Ye Anping took a stroll, glancing at the corners and rooms of Jiang Mansion, feeling quite emotional.
After all, he and his junior sister had lived in Jiang Mansion for several months. To say that there was no emotion was a lie.
But thinking that in a few days, he would set fire to the backyard of Jiang Mansion…
It was pretty cool.
There was a feeling of satisfaction that the destructive desire was satisfied. It was rare to be able to be a naughty kid who set fire to a house in a straightforward manner.
After sighing, he redirected his attention to Li Longling’s eyes. Just as he had thought, he would directly engrave the eye-moving talisman on the meridians and then have Li Longling raise a few birds or pets to serve as her eyes. This was the treatment method he had in mind.
At least, on the four people from earlier, his experiment was successful. However, as a precaution, he didn’t wholly cure those four individuals.
Now, the remaining task was to find a suitable time to meet Li Longling and help her undergo this “operation.”
But this matter wasn’t urgent. It would be better for Li Longling to prioritize handling the affairs of Chilong Mansion, especially since the operation required several days of recovery time.
Ye Anping looked up at the sky, thinking it was time to consolidate his cultivation. Being a dual spiritual root of water and wood, he needed a place with abundant water and wood spiritual energy to settle his cultivation.
If he remembered correctly, after the Chilong Mansion incident, due to the conflict between the Red Refining Five Lotus Formation and the Chilong Mansion Spirit Suppressing Formation, a spiritual spring would emerge in the back mountain.
That spiritual spring contained the water and wood spiritual energy he needed.
“After sunset, I’ll go and soak for a while.”
Just as he was contemplating, he arrived at the bedroom door. He pushed it open and entered.
Squeak——
“Junior sister…”
His words came to an abrupt halt. Upon seeing the situation inside the room, Ye Anping was immediately shocked.
Pei Lianxue was currently doing one-armed push-ups using only her right pinky finger, and on her back sat Liang Ahting, crossed-legged.
Upon hearing the door opening, both looked blankly at Ye Anping.
“….”
After a long gaze between them, Liang Ahting directly jumped off Pei Lianxue’s back and waved.
“Uncle! You’re back!! Play chess with me!! I’m going to beat you this time!!”
“Another day.”
With a puffed-up face, Liang Ahting grabbed Ye Anping’s clothes, saying, “Tomorrow, how many tomorrows? I live waiting for tomorrow. Everything turns into waste!”
Ye Anping was speechless. He glanced at Liang Ahting, grabbed her by the collar, pulled her out of the bedroom, and closed the door with a bang.
Liang Ahting immediately knocked on the door, shouting, “Uncle!! You liar, you always like deceiving young girls like me. Did you deceive Auntie back in the same way? Auntie is so silly…”
At this moment, Liang Zhu seemed to have come over.
“Ahting!! Why did you come over again? Didn’t I tell you not to play with them?”
“Ah… adoptive father… but adoptive father is also terrible at playing chess. It’s not interesting at all.”
“Hiss——” Liang Zhu took a breath, frowned, and said, “Go back! Adoptive father used to let you have your way, but today, let me show you the adoptive father’s true skills. Let’s go!”
…
Listening to the gradually fading footsteps of the father and daughter outside, Ye Anping suddenly had a black line on his face, feeling a hint of fear for such children.
He had fantasized before,
In a sea of flowers, he and Xiao Xi Yue played hide-and-seek while Miss Xi Yue knitted a sweater under an apricot tree, smiling as she watched the father and daughter playfully chasing each other.
But now, after encountering Liang Ahting, the word “child” seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.
Ye Anping pinched his nose, walked to Pei Lianxue, helped her, and asked, “Junior sister, is it not annoying with Ahting bothering you so much?”
“No, it’s not bothersome. Ahting is very cute.” Pei Lianxue shook her head quickly, hesitated momentarily, and then asked, tilting her head, “Senior brother, I want it.”
What does she want?
“Want? Want what?”
“… Ahting.”
?
Did she want an Ahting?
Ye Anping took a while to understand what she meant and immediately took a deep breath, turning the space around him into a vacuum.
“Hiss——”
…
