The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C184

Chapter 184: Protagonist, born from mother

Pei Lianxue glanced at her torn cloud sleeves, curled her lips, and then neatly stored the spiritual sword in her storage bag. She walked back towards Yun Xi and Zhang Yihe.

Zhang Yihe stared in bewilderment at the dismembered snow cow before him. For a moment, he couldn’t decide whether the snow cow or the seemingly harmless girl in front of him was more frightening.

Yun Xi’s murmuring behind him snapped him out of his stupor: “Leaves Shadow Sword Art… has reached the fifth level.”

“Ah? Young lady… What?” Zhang Yihe needed clarification.

Pei Lianxue walked up to Yun Xi, knelt, thought for a moment, and asked, “Are you okay?”

Still in a daze, Yun Xi shook her head, ignoring the pain in her body. She grabbed Pei Lianxue’s shoulder and asked, “Do you have a father?”

Pei Lianxue was momentarily puzzled, then nodded blankly, “Yes.”

“No… I mean…” Yun Xi was incoherent. After organizing her thoughts, she asked again, “Have you ever met your father? Is your mother a charming fairy?”

Pei Lianxue frowned slightly, appearing somewhat unhappy. However, considering her senior brother’s instruction to speak the truth, she replied, “I have seen them. My parents are mortals, and my mother is beautiful but not a fairy.”

“Mortal…”

Yun Xi looked into Pei Lianxue’s eyes, finding sincerity in her words. Yet, the Leaves Shadow Sword Technique she used was a closely guarded secret, passed down to her by her stinky father after she became a “young lady.” It seemed unlikely that an outsider could have learned it.

Ignoring Pei Lianxue’s claim of a “mortal family,” Yun Xi was more inclined to believe her theory: that her stinky father impregnated a girl outside, and as the girl couldn’t find him, she sent the child to a mortal couple. As the child grew up, the stinky father disguised himself as a hermit, coincidentally encountering the child and passing on the sword technique.

Yun Xi shook her head, looking around, and asked, “Where’s the person you were with last time? The one with purple eyes…”

“Not here,” Pei Lianxue replied.

“Why are you here then?”

“Well…” Pei Lianxue recalled, “My senior brother was asked by the eldest lady of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect to marry into her family, so I came after him.”

Yun Xi was slightly startled.

Bringing in a wife? Yun Yiyi?

The possibility struck Yun Xi that the girl in front of her might be his father’s illegitimate daughter, and her senior brother might be his father’s illegitimate son. If the young man had married Yun Yiyi, it would mean an illegitimate son marrying his father’s biological daughter.

Yun Xi’s lips trembled, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. If her speculations were correct, this situation was truly unprecedented.

“…”

At that moment, the injuries on Yun Xi’s body finally reached her brain along with the bone marrow. Coupled with the shock she felt after contemplating the situation, her eyes rolled up, her head tilted, and she fell directly onto the snow-covered ground.

Pei Lianxue paused, picked up the unconscious Yun Xi, and turned to look at Zhang Yihe, standing in place. She asked, “Which way is the Moon Shadow Sword Sect?”

“Ah…” Zhang Yihe hesitated momentarily, looked at Yun Xi, then turned his gaze to the sky. He stood up, cupped his hands, and said, “Miss, thank you for your help earlier. May I ask how I should address you?”

“Pei Lianxue.”

“Miss Pei, could you please protect us? I will set up the tent and let the young lady rest inside. After she recovers a bit, we can continue our journey. How about that?”

“Um.”

Pei Lianxue nodded, then turned her head to look at the forest to the east. Although she couldn’t see her senior brother, she nodded to indicate her success. In the deep part of the eastern forest, Ye Anping stood on a tree branch, watching his junior sister nod. He took out a whistle from his storage bag, put it to his lips, and played a rhythmic tune:

Chi Chi—Chi Chi Chi—Chi Chi—Chi Chi—

It meant: “Junior sister, be more careful. See you in seven days.”

Afterward, he jumped down from the tree and approached Feng Yudie, who was waiting below. Feng Yudie was now holding a sword, leaning against the tree trunk, looking thoughtful. When she saw him coming down, she quickly asked, “Young Master Ye, when Junior Sister Pei kissed you just now, why didn’t you avoid it? What if a crane happened to fly by in the sky and brought you a child?”

Hearing this question, Ye Anping was stunned for a while. He suddenly remembered discussing this issue with Feng Yudie the first time he rescued her and returned to the Hundred Lotus Sect.

At that time, Feng Yudie had said, “Celestial cranes bring children.”

Because he didn’t know how to answer, he said, “Junior sister was transformed from a ginseng fruit.”

After silence, Ye Anping replied, “Didn’t I tell you that my junior sister was transformed from a ginseng fruit? You forgot before.”

“Yes, I remember.”

“Then why do you think that if you kiss me, the crane will pick up the child?”

Feng Yudie frowned, tilted her head, and asked, “Isn’t it possible that if the crane sees two people kissing, it goes to the ginseng tree, picks up a child transformed from a ginseng fruit, and gives it to those two people?”

“…Is this what your master taught you?”

“Yes.” Feng Yudie nodded, “Otherwise, would my master still lie to me?”

“…”

Ye Anping hesitated momentarily, remaining silent before responding, “My father bought a crane a few months ago and kept it in the Hundred Lotus Sect. Find a couple of Daoists and kiss it in front of the crane. See if the crane will pick up the child.”

Feng Yudie shrank her head, tilted it, and asked, “So, kissing won’t result in children?”

“…Right.”

“Then where does the child come from?”

“Mother gave birth to it.”

“And the two mothers?”

“Two mothers can’t give birth.”

“Then why did you say your mother gave birth to you?”

“I…”

Ye Anping took a deep breath through his nose, realizing he shouldn’t have brought up this topic with Feng Yudie.

After a moment, he ignored Feng Yudie, looked up at the sky, and said, “We need to reach Jiuquan Town next to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect before nightfall. After that, I’ll take you to Yun Jiujiu.”

“Oh, okay!” Feng Yudie nodded but asked again, “Will we not have children if we kiss each other?”

Ye Anping summoned a flying sword and stepped onto it, saying, “No.”

Feng Yudie stepped onto the flying sword and asked, “So if Junior Sister Pei kisses me in the future, I won’t hide!”

Ye Anping turned around, squinting slightly, “Has Junior Sister Pei wanted to kiss you before?”

“Not before, but maybe in the future.”

Ye Anping looked at her, and her face suddenly twitched. He had lived for many years, and Feng Yudie was the only person whose emotions felt like a roller coaster in just a few chat words. Honestly, she was one of a kind.

Tsk… let’s go!!”

“Okay!”
