Chapter 279: Brothers and sisters, heaven knows, earth knows, mother knows
The rising sun cast its morning light upon Ye Anping’s small courtyard while the sounds of spring birds echoed from the surrounding woods,
“Chirp~~chirp~~~”
Xiaodie had heard that Ye Anping returned yesterday, so she woke up before dawn today, tidied her clothes and hair, and hurried over to wake him up. She was originally a medicine apprentice in the Hundred Lotus Sect’s alchemy room, responsible for assisting the elders in organizing medicinal herbs and learning alchemy techniques on the side. Perhaps because she looked quite clever and was only six years older than Ye Anping, she was assigned the duties of a personal maid to the young master by Ye Ao after Ye Anping was one and a half years old. Whether changing diapers or coaxing him to sleep and playing with him, she was responsible for most of it.
However, these duties were not the main responsibilities of a personal maid. There was a difference of two words between personal maid and maid. Those tasks belonged to the responsibilities of an ordinary maid, but a personal maid had an additional duty.
When the master reached the age of coronation, the personal maid needed to personally teach the master about the affairs of men and women, step by step. After all, those matters would not be openly written in books.
Walking into Ye Anping’s yard, Xiaodie couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward thinking about this. The young master was already seventeen years old. According to reason, she should have taught him those things two years ago. But the young master hadn’t mentioned it, and Sect Leader Ye hadn’t told her either. So she pretended not to know and thought she could delay it for one more day.
But now, the young master only returned to the Hundred Lotus Sect once in a long time, and she could only see him twice a year. She couldn’t help but worry. What if the young master, in his twenties, didn’t know about the affairs between men and women? What if he encountered a bad woman while adventuring outside and was led astray?
“Sigh…”
Xiaodie sighed softly, her face showing a hint of worry. She didn’t dislike Ye Anping. On the contrary, she quite liked him. The young master was handsome, and his personality had become very good as he grew older. He would surely become a renowned immortal cultivator in the future. But whenever she thought of the silly little boy with a runny nose who used to throw himself on the bed, she couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss. There was an indescribable awkwardness in her heart.
“The young master also has Junior Sister Pei by his side. The Sect Leader will definitely not arrange for me to go,” Xiaodie reassured herself. With that in mind, she patted her cheek, slowly pushed open the bedroom door, and walked in.
“Young Master, it’s time to wake up…”
Her words came to a halt halfway. Xiaodie stood frozen in place as soon as she saw the bed. Outside the canopy, there were two pairs of shoes on the ground – one embroidered and one leather. Nearby laid a white silk skirt, a belly band, and the lewd clothes and pants that the young master often wore.
Inside the canopy, Pei Lianxue lay naked on Ye Anping’s chest, sound asleep. Her bare shoulders were covered by a slightly thicker quilt, revealing only her snowy-smooth skin and the brown-black hair scattered over Ye Anping’s body.
“…?”
Xiaodie retracted her right foot that had entered the room, pulled the door closed with a squeak, and stared blankly at the door, pursing her lips,
“Young Master and Junior Sister Pei, what’s going on… No! I have to tell Mrs. Kong…”
She shook her head, turned around, took out her flying sword, and flew towards the main peak.
Squeak—
The sudden sound of the door left rubbing against each other made Ye Anping furrow his brow. He woke up slowly, feeling unusually heavy all over. At first, he thought he was experiencing sleep paralysis, but then he felt the hair on his chest being stroked and the warm sensation on his belly, and he remembered what happened last night. It seemed like his junior sister had bullied him.
But for a man, being teased by a girl was nothing to be ashamed of, and Ye Anping enjoyed it. Junior sister was playful and easily tired. After just fifteen minutes, she fell asleep on top of him.
But that was alright. Junior sister could control the pace, so she wouldn’t have trouble getting out of bed the next day. It was only he who felt a bit uncomfortable. His vigorous energy hadn’t been released, and his head felt foggy.
Ye Anping used Feng Yudie to calm himself down. Seeing his junior sister sleeping soundly with her face on his chest, he didn’t move. Instead, he closed his eyes and delved into his body with his spiritual consciousness to check his condition.
After being bullied by his junior sister, although there was no trace of the Yang Qi accumulated in his body, the corresponding spiritual energy in the Qi Sea was also mostly depleted.
The “Seven Elements of Tianzhu Flower” Yun Yiyi used before had obviously brought his cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, but after this night, his cultivation seemed to have regressed.
Every loss must be compensated. Ye Anping checked his junior sister’s body again and found that after bullying her senior brother last night, her cultivation had broken through the mid-to-late stage bottleneck and entered the ranks of late-stage foundation-building cultivators.
Ye Anping let out a sigh of relief and gently stroked the back of his junior sister’s head with his hand, showing a hint of indulgence in his eyes,
“That’s fine… Although my junior sister has excellent qualifications, she doesn’t have any special advantages. This saves her the trouble of slowly condensing her Qi. It’s not a bad thing to share her cultivation.”
However, this was by no means a long-term solution. If he continued like this, even if he had some advantages, he would not be able to continue to improve his cultivation unless he avoided his junior sister for a year.
It seemed that the matter of seeking advice from Si Xuanji on the method of dual cultivation had to be put on the agenda. But how could he avoid being bullied by Si Xuanji and still get her to teach him the dual cultivation method?
Thinking of this, Ye Anping couldn’t help but feel a little troubled.
Perhaps sensing Ye Anping’s slight movements, Pei Lianxue’s eyelashes fluttered, and then she opened her orange apricot eyes.
Ye Anping gave a slight smile as he glanced at the faint red marks on his junior sister’s face,
“Waking up!”
Swoosh—
Pei Lianxue took her time to regain composure, and then a blush suddenly spread across her face. She sat up, and the quilt slid down her back, revealing her snow-white figure.
With her hands in front of her, her arms and palms conveniently blocking Ye Anping’s view, he couldn’t help but feel flustered.
Ye Anping couldn’t help but feel flustered, sensing a warmth on his cheeks. This wasn’t quite the composed demeanor he aimed for in front of his junior sister. He should exude a sense of security…
Taking a deep breath, he frowned and admonished, “Quick, put on your clothes!”
Pei Lianxue chuckled softly, covering her mouth, then moved to pull open the curtain and reach for her clothes.
But just then…
Boom—
The door was forcefully pushed open, startling Pei Lianxue with a look of fear as Kong Yulan stormed in, visibly angry.
Approaching the bed and seeing the two exposed, Kong Yulan’s anger shifted to a more resigned expression as she said, “Pei, my dear…”
“Ah…” Pei Lianxue quickly lowered her head at the address, “Madam Kong, what…”
Kong Yulan hesitated, then glanced at her son, who remained relatively composed. With a sigh, she said, “Anping, get dressed first. You and Pei will come to the pavilion later. I’ll be waiting.”
“…Understood.”
With a raised eyebrow and another glance at Pei Lianxue, as if her prized possession had been tarnished, Kong Yulan didn’t look pleased. After tossing the clothes to them, she left the room.
Once Kong Yulan was gone, Pei Lianxue nervously bit her lip, her hand clenched over her chest,
“Senior brother, is Madam Kong angry?”
Ye Anping gently pinched her cheek, reassuring her, “Don’t worry, senior brother’s here for you.”
“Yeah…”
…
