Chapter 271: Protagonist, will you marry me?
“I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re so sneaky,” Feng Yudie ran her fingers through her hair and said, “My master always said that when I grow up, I’ll definitely be a stunning girl, and there are plenty of men eyeing me, so I need to be cautious.”
“Is that so full of yourself?”
“Why do you think I’m unattractive?”
Ye Anping heard her and glanced at Feng Yudie’s face. It seemed moist, perhaps from just finishing sword practice. She had a fresh look about her, combined with her naturally delicate features.
Instantly, Ye Anping felt conflicted. Objectively speaking, Feng Yudie’s looks were comparable with anyone else’s. She still had that pristine white hair and plenty of admirers in the game. He looked at her face and couldn’t muster any thoughts. He could admit to himself that he was a man with desires.
Whether it was Senior Sister Xiao, Li Longling, Yun Yiyi, or anyone else, seeing a woman standing before him unclothed would inevitably stir some primal urges. However, Feng Yudie was different, almost like a goddess.
Was she pretty? Was her figure appealing? Absolutely.
But seeing her unclothed would make one feel more like repenting than indulging. Ye Anping sighed softly and said, “Honestly, you’re quite attractive.”
However, Feng Yudie’s smile froze upon hearing this.
In the next moment, a white light flashed, and even the stone table and the roast chicken atop it were cleaved in two.
“Whoa!” Xiao Tian was startled and quickly grabbed Feng Yudie’s hair. “Yudie! What are you doing?”
Unfortunately, he couldn’t catch her. Feng Yudie pushed Ye Anping off the stone bench, straddling his belly, clasping his waist with her legs, and holding her spiritual sword against his neck, frowning as she said, “Ha! So you do want to subtly manipulate me, huh? The fox’s tail is showing, isn’t it?…”
Ye Anping glanced at the sword pressed against his neck and asked, furrowing his brows, “Are you going to make me call you ugly?”
Feng Yudie narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him. “Stare~~~”
Ye Anping sighed in resignation. “Alright,
“Alright, alright, you’re ugly. Let’s leave it at that.”
Whether it was because Ye Anping conceded or because of his current demeanor, Feng Yudie suddenly seemed quite cheerful. She chuckled as she moved away from him, laying down beside Ye Anping with the spirit sword, laughing heartily.
“Heh, you killed Yun Kunwu, which means he’s inferior to you, and now you’re pleading with me. Does that mean I’m better than you?”
Ye Anping glanced at her, sighed, and asked coldly, “Are you comfortable?”
“Hehe, since you can see Xiao Tian, that’s it. Usually, Xiao Tian could use one more person to talk to,” Feng Yudie replied, looking up at the sky. “My master always told me I was unique and powerful. But after encountering Yun Kunwu, I realized I’m just one among many. Seeing Xiao Tian through your eyes is normal.”
“As long as you’re okay with it.”
Ye Anping stood up, brushed off the grass from his pants, and said, “Get up, give me your hand.”
“Huh!” Feng Yudie furrowed her brows, covered her shoulders, and stood up. “What for? Do you want to drag me somewhere? Let me make it clear, just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you can do as you please. I’ll cut you like slicing tofu.”
“Ah, yes, yes, I want to return the Scroll of Heavenly Dao to you.”
“Oh!” Feng Yudie nodded and extended her hand. “How do we do that?”
Ye Anping looked at the spirit sword beside Feng Yudie, sighed slightly, tightly wrapped her hand in his, and then turned to Xiao Tian.
“Xiao Tian, do it.”
Xiao Tian tilted its head, unsure if the relationship between the two had improved or worsened, but seeing them holding hands made it feel reassured.
It smiled, retrieved the Scroll of Heavenly Dao from its dimensional skirt, and opened it. With a gentle wave of its hand, a golden light brushed over the scroll.
Next to Ye Anping, the characters were still there, but now Feng Yudie was added. However, Ye Anping’s name remained. It was more like a marriage contract.
Xiao Tian nodded satisfactorily and tucked the scroll back into its skirt.
“Alright!”
Ye Anping was puzzled. “Is it really that simple?”
“Changing a name is simple, especially with mutual consent,” Xiao Tian explained. “Last time with Yun Kunwu was forced, so it was complicated. But since you both agree and I like you both, changing names is easy.”
“Mutual consent! Let me see it,” Ye Anping requested.
Xiao Tian hesitated momentarily, then flew into Feng Yudie’s mind without a word. It waved to Ye Anping and said, “Anping, I’m tired. I’ll show you another day.”
Looking at it like this, Ye Anping also guessed that this guy probably put his name and Feng Yudie’s name together, but it had no impact anyway, so he didn’t care about it anymore.
He paused, took out the stone tablet from Chilong Mansion that recorded the first volume of Xuanyin Jue, handed it to Feng Yudie, and said, “Here, one of the promised rewards is Xuanyin Jue.”
Feng Yudie looked at the stone tablet, took it with both hands, and said nothing more, simply responding with an “Um.”
“What? Don’t you dislike it? Didn’t I say before that I might as well give you a spiritual stone?” Ye Anping inquired.
Feng Yudie pursed her lips, looked at Ye Anping, and replied, “Although in my heart I still want a kiss from Junior Sister Pei, if you specifically gave me a skill, it must mean that this skill is very important.”
“It’s very important to you. Take it and practice hard. This is just the first fragment. I will give it to you after I get the new fragment,” Ye Anping explained.
Feng Yudie narrowed her eyes and smiled, “Great!”
“Go back to the house and tidy up. I’ll wait for you at the door of Yunjiu Mansion. Zhenghan from the Southern Territory will come in a few days, and it will be difficult to rush,” Ye Anping instructed.
Ye Anping sighed, turned around, and exited the garden, feeling inexplicably relaxed. But when he reached the door, Feng Yudie came up with the stone tablet in his arms and stayed with him for a moment.
“Young Master Ye, wait a moment…” Feng Yudie hesitated.
“What?” Ye Anping asked.
“…Is it necessary to have a sparrow to have a baby?” Feng Yudie asked.
Ye Anping blinked blankly and stayed for a while before replying, “…Yes.”
“Then, when Junior Sister Pei and I have a baby, can you lend us your sparrow?” Feng Yudie continued.
Ye Anping’s eyes widened in a rare sight, and he scolded sternly, “Go back and pack your things!!”
Feng Yudie’s neck stretched out due to his roar. When she saw Ye Anping turned around and left, she immediately curled her lips and complained, “…If you don’t want to borrow it, then you can’t borrow it. Why are you so mean… Hey, you stingy guy.”
Ye Anping opened his lips slightly and didn’t say much. He thought it would be better to return and let Xiao Yunluo teach Feng Yudie about the sparrow.
“Hey – why does it feel like I’m her father? Do you still have to worry about this kind of thing? Tsk, how did Master Taixu teach you?” Ye Anping mumbled as he walked away.
