Chapter 378: Senior Brother, Eliminate Demons and Defend the Righteous Way
Huhu~~
The doors and windows were closed, and the sound of wind and snow outside could be heard, but it was very warm inside.
“Hey… Roast chicken…”
An inarticulate voice sounded from his ears.
Xu Xiyue woke up leisurely and opened her eyes with some depression. Next to her were the two little girls from Baiyue Town who were kidnapped with her yesterday. They were all frightened a lot yesterday and were still awake.
Xu Xiyue thought about it for a while and then remembered what happened last night – she was taken to the forest by the poisoned female shopkeeper, met a demon cultivator, and was rescued by Senior Ye and his wives…
She slowly sat up, rubbed her head, and looked at the window. Seeing that it was already dawn outside, she probably slept until noon the next day.
Just when Xu Xiyue was about to get out of bed cautiously, she noticed that a girl with silver hair was lying beside the bed, lying on her arms, squinting and falling asleep, drooling all over her.
“Young Master Ye’s roast chicken… hehe…”
The first time she saw Feng Yudie, Xu Xiyue twisted her eyebrows.
This senior should also be Senior Ye’s wife, right?
This was the first time she saw a cultivator in the alchemy stage drooling while sleeping.
She doesn’t look very smart…
But then again, in her previous impression, cultivators in the alchemy stage were like her sister, living in high-rise pavilions, like princes, and looking majestic. But yesterday, Immortal Pei would take the initiative to coax little girls like them in the Qi refining stage to sleep, and even let them hug her…
Senior Ye and his wives seemed to be very approachable…
Xu Xiyue stared at Feng Yudie’s sleeping face for a while, then carefully climbed out of the bed, ready to change her clothes and go to see how the shopkeeper and the others were doing. However, at that time, a rush of footsteps came from the corridor outside the house, and then the door was pushed open with a “Snap”.
“Xi Yue?!”
The person who rushed into the room was Xu Mulan, with a look of anxiety written all over her face at this moment.
She heard Xiao Yunluo mention yesterday that Ye Anping was there to tease her sister, so after finishing the day’s business this morning, she hurried over to ask Ye Anping about it. But when she arrived at the Tourist Pavilion, she found that it was already noon and the outer door of the Tourist Pavilion was still boarded up. She thought something had happened.
Xu Mulan’s hands were very strong and the sound of breaking the door was also loud. Feng Yudie, who was sleeping soundly next to the bed, suddenly became frightened and stood up when she heard this:
“What’s wrong?!”
“…” “…”
Feng Yudie and Xu Mulan had never met before, and they stared at each other for a long time. Xu Xiyue noticed the embarrassing scene and quickly introduced:
“Sister, this is Senior Ye’s wife…”
“?”
Feng Yudie just woke up, still a little confused, and tilted her head. Xu Xiyue hesitated for a while. She didn’t have time to ask for their names yesterday. She only knew that the other two fairies were named Pei and Xiao…
However, she vaguely remembered that Fairy Pei and Fairy Xiao called her “Second something” before…
“Surname Second.”
“??”
Then, she introduced Feng Yudie: “Second senior, this is my sister, the commander of the Royal Guard of Tianfeng Immortal City, and her surname is Xu.”
Xu Mulan twisted her eyebrows when she heard this, not to mention that the surname “Second” is a bit strange, what’s going on with Wife?
Didn’t she hear from Young Master Xiao yesterday that Ye Anping was her husband?
There’s more than one?
Xu Mulan squinted her eyes and looked at Feng Yudie’s face. There were three fairy-like girls beside her, so Ye Anping still missed her sister?
Ha… I can’t tell, Mr. Ye…
But at that time, Feng Yudie finally came back to her senses from her hazy sleep and quickly twisted her eyebrows and defended:
“My surname is Feng, and I am not the wife of Young Master Ye, I am the wife of Junior Sister Pei!”
Who is Junior Sister Pei?… Xu Mulan was immediately stunned.
Xu Xiyue also froze on the spot, what’s going on…
The three of them just looked at each other for a while. Xu Mulan was the first to come back to her senses, shook her head, smiled awkwardly, then cupped her hands and said:
“Good afternoon, fellow Daoist Feng, may I ask Ye… Wu?!”
Halfway through her words, Xu Xiyue quickly stood up on tiptoes and covered her sister’s mouth, winking at her and gesturing for her to go out and speak.
Sisters knew each other well. When Xu Mulan saw it, she immediately understood the reason and nodded:
“I won’t disturb Fellow Daoist Feng’s rest. I’ll take my sister out.”
“…Oh.”
Feng Yudie nodded blankly and watched the two sisters leave the house. Then she started counting with her fingers with a dull look on her face:
“Well… if I am Junior Sister Pei’s wife? Then I am Young Master Ye’s… sister-in-law? Isn’t that right… um… a sister? That’s not right. Young Master Ye is older than me, so I am a younger sister. But?… Young Master Ye is my brother-in-law. No, no, what is the relationship between Young Master Ye and me?”
After thinking for a while, Feng Yudie simply stopped thinking about it. She looked at the two little girls still sleeping on the bed, then got up and washed her face, preparing to order roast chicken later.
…
After coming out of the house, Xu Xiyue looked at the room next door. Seeing that Fairy Pei and Fairy Xiao were also resting, she didn’t bother them. Instead, she pulled her sister to the lobby on the first floor.
“Sister, Senior Ye said before, don’t reveal his presence to his wives. Yesterday he and Master Li moved to the Inn across the street.”
Xu Mulan frowned slightly as she listened. Ye Anping was still hiding from his wife?
She suddenly remembered a story she had heard from the Storytelling Library before. It was said that Yun Tianchong of the Southern Domain Sword Sect met a girl outside one time. But on the night when he wanted another girl, and his wife suddenly broke in…
“Heh…” Xu Mulan sneered, looked at the deserted lobby again, and asked, “Xi Yue, why didn’t the shop in the Tourist Pavilion open at noon today? I remember on weekdays…”
“Because a demon cultivator came to Baiyue Town yesterday, I was almost arrested. If it weren’t for Senior Ye and his wives, I am afraid that I and two girls from other towns would have been…”
“Demonic Cultivator?! Then you are not injured, are you?”
“I didn’t. Senior Ye took action in time. I and the other two are fine, but the demon cultivator seems to have escaped.”
After hearing these words, Xu Mulan suddenly raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose with some distress.
How can so many things happen in just two days…
However, she began to rejoice in her heart. Fortunately, Ye Anping fell in love with her sister. He and his wife came over and stayed by her sister’s side, otherwise, the demonic cultivator would have captured her sister…
“Sigh…”
Xu Mulan let out a sigh of relief and looked at the second floor. It was one thing after another. She came here to ask Ye Anping about her sister.
“I’ll go talk to Young Master Ye, and you go get some hot water for Young Master Xiao.”
“Oh…”
Xu Mulan patted Xu Xiyue on the head, then turned around and walked out of the door, heading towards the Inn across the street.
…
In the room on the second floor of the inn——
Li Longling fell asleep at dawn and was still lying on the bed, while Ye Anping was sitting by the window, sipping tea and meditating, thinking about his backup plan to encircle and suppress Jiang Mojiao.
Thinking that Feng Yudie would probably come to eat his roasted chicken soon, he also went to the small bamboo forest at the back in the morning, roasted one, and put it on the table.
“Inn~.”
After taking a sip of tea, suddenly a gust of wind passed by, and there was a knocking on the window…
Bang bang——
Ye Anping was speechless and reached out to pull off the latch on the window, thinking it was Feng Yudie. When he wanted to ask her why she didn’t leave the door, he saw Xu Mulan jumping in from the window carrying her spear.
“Master Ye… Are you in a leisurely mood?”
Hearing this tone and glancing at the spear behind Xu Mulan’s back, Ye Anping always felt that the person coming was unkind, so he smiled slightly awkwardly, cupped his hands, and said:
“Commander Xu, please take a seat. I happen to have something to discuss with you.”
“Oh?”
Xu Mulan raised her eyebrows slightly, placed the spear behind her against the window as a deterrent, then lifted her long skirt, sat down, hugged her chest, and said:
“All ears.”
“…”
Seeing how she didn’t look good to him, Ye Anping immediately guessed that Xiao Yunluo and the others had probably told her about Xi Yue after they found her yesterday.
However, it was not a bad thing. He would have to say it sooner or later, and he had planned to explain it frankly after a while…
“Commander Xu, have you met Young Master Xiao and the others just now?”
“Not yet.”
“A demon cultivator appeared in Baiyue Town yesterday…”
“Xi Yue told me, and said you saved her life.”
“That’s right.” Ye Anping shrugged slightly and said, “Then I won’t talk nonsense. Young Master Xiao and the others used the Insect method to spy on the location of the Demonic Cultivation Cave yesterday. It is one hundred and seventy meters north of Tianfeng Immortal City. It’s a demonic cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul.”
After hearing this, Xu Mulan slowly loosened her arms around the big watermelon. There was a slight serious look on her face, and she held her chin and thought:
“Is this true?”
“The truth.”
“In this case… I’m afraid it will be difficult for the Royal Guards of Tianfeng Immortal City to handle it alone. I have to report this matter to Han Yue City and ask Han Yue City to send help.”
“I’m afraid it’s too late.” Ye Anping shook his head slightly and poured her a cup of tea, “Now that demon cultivators are all over the Northern Domain, Han Yue City can’t spare much manpower to transfer to you. Linghe Immortal City, Yueluo Immortal City… These Immortal cities are what the Empress and the Imperial Master want to defend.”
“…What’s the meaning?”
“That is to say, we can only rely on ourselves to solve the problem of the Nascent Soul demonic cultivator.”
Ye Anping sighed slightly, took out the map he had made last night, and spread it on the table.
He needed to explain to Xu Mulan the purpose of the demon cultivator’s invasion of the Northern Domain, but he needed convincing evidence, so he made this map.
There were countless routes drawn on the map, recording the marching routes of various teams of demon cultivators in the Northern Domain, and the five most conspicuous locations had been selected.
“This map records the places where demon cultivators are suspected to appear, such as Huilong Town, which I found out from the Black Market.”
“What happened to Huilong Town?”
“Seven men disappeared overnight. At first glance, it seems to be just a case of monsters causing chaos, but if you look at it from a demonic perspective, it is more reasonable.”
“…”
Xu Mulan frowned slightly when she looked at the expression on the map. When she noticed a few points marked above, her eyes widened, but she quickly regained her composure.
The Han Tian Protective Formation in the Northern Domain has a total of six main formation eyes and twelve secondary formation eyes…
As the commander of the Royal Guards of Tianfeng Immortal City, she knew the location of the main formation eye closest to Tianfeng Immortal City.
And the mark of Ye Anping fell on the position of the formation eye.
Xu Mulan naturally would not reveal it, and asked calmly:
“What are these triangular red marks?”
“This is the location of something I deduced from the demon cultivator’s action route.” Ye Anping smiled and said, “As for what it is, I don’t know… I’m afraid it should be their purpose this time. ”
“…”
Ye Anping looked at the slight panic on Xu Mulan’s face and said:
“Commander Xu, although it is said that the demon cultivators entering this time do not have major cultivation in the god transformation stage, the area involves almost the entire territory of Han Tian Kingdom… Han Yue City cannot divert so many people to Tianfeng Immortal City.”
“So… What does Young Master Ye mean?”
“I will work with Master Li, Young Master Xiao, and the others to help you wipe out all the demonic cultivators near Tianfeng Immortal City. What do you think?”
“But if what you said is true, then it’s a demon cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul… There is a huge difference between core formation and Nascent Soul. It’s not that I don’t believe you, Mr. Ye, it’s just that…”
There was a little hesitation in Xu Mulan’s eyes, but at this moment, Li Longling’s voice came from the bed next to her.
“Commander Xu, why don’t you trust Anping? He killed a demon cultivator in the late stage of the core formation while refining his Qi, and then relied on his cultivation in the early stage of foundation construction in the Chilong Mansion to kill five core formation, demonic cultivators…”
“?!”
“…”
Ye Anping didn’t know why, but he always felt a little embarrassed. It would be better if it was him. Hearing Li Longling help him say this, he felt weird…
“It’s just a false name, not worth mentioning.”
“What a false reputation! Can ordinary cultivators do it?”
Li Longling stood up, followed the sound, walked to Ye Anping’s side, looked at Xu Mulan, and said:
“Commander Xu before my father died, I wanted to pass the sword to him… He is just more introverted and doesn’t like to show his holiness in front of others.”
“…”
Xu Mulan had admired Ye Anping for getting the Heavenly Dao Golden Core at such a young age, but now hearing these words, her heart was filled with turmoil…
But at the same time, she was even more confused as to why such a genius from the fairy family would fall in love with a girl like her who was ordinary except for her face…
“Then why did Young Master Ye help? As a cultivator from the Western Domain, could it be that you were doing it for my sister?”
Ye Anping looked embarrassed. On the one hand, it was indeed for Xu Xiyue. If this matter came to pass, Xu Mulan would have made great achievements in the Han Tian Kingdom and would receive many rewards in the future.
On the other hand, this was also the cause and effect of Heavenly Dao and Demonly Scroll. He was entangled by Feng Yudie and there was no way he could avoid it…
In the end, it could be regarded as a way to eliminate demons and protect the Dao.
“…Immortal cultivators eliminate demons and protect the Dao, why do they need a reason?”
Xu Mulan narrowed her eyes at him and asked, “I have another question, why do you like my girl?”
When Li Longling heard this question, she also pricked up her ears and turned to face Ye Anping.
Ye Anping looked at the two of them, sighed helplessly, and said:
“I dreamed about her, that’s all.”
Xu Mulan was silent for a while and asked:
“…Then have you dreamed of me?”
“…”
“That’s all, there are so many people who want to marry my sister, and you are not the least of them.” Xu Mulan sighed a little sadly, “But I have one condition, you are not allowed to force her to make a choice!”
“Of course…”
“Can this map…”
“Of course, you can just take it.”
“I will ask Trust Eagle to send this map to Han Yue City.”
Xu Mulan looked at Ye Anping’s face, then at Li Longling beside her, thinking back to Fairy Feng just now, and sighed softly:
“Anything else?”
“Please also ask Commander Xu to see Young Master Xiao later. They should also ask the Royal Guards to surround and kill this Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator. You can just agree.”
“I see.”
Xu Mulan nodded, raised her sword with her hand, put the map into her storage bag, then picked up the spear leaning against the wall, put it on her back, and jumped out of the window.
After watching Xu Mulan leave, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up and close the window, he saw Feng Yudie hanging upside down on the eaves and sticking his head in from the window:
“…”
“Hehe~ Master Ye, where is my roast chicken? Zi Liu~”
Ye Anping pressed her face with one hand and pushed her out. He held the window with the other hand and said with a black line on his face:
“Come through the door.”
Snap–!
Click…
The windows were closed and bolted.
…
Alchemy stage? God transformation stage? Please stick to the already used naming convention.
Get use to it. Probably golden core and the one after Necent soul
