Chapter 417: Heaven clashes, the bird returns to its original owner
In the window facing the street on the second floor of Zhuque Pavilion, a steaming roast chicken was carved and arranged by the chef and stood on the plate. Ye Anping and Feng Yudie faced each other, sitting cross-legged on both sides of the table.
“If you have something to do, call me, you two, please use it slowly…”
“Um…”
After watching the waiter close the door and leave, Ye Anping let out a faint breath, glanced at Feng Yudie across the table, picked up the chopsticks, and started to enjoy the roast chicken.
Feng Yudie seemed to have eaten enough, so she didn’t try to grab his roast chicken. Instead, she held her chin in her hands, squinted her eyes, and watched him eat with a smile on her face.
“Whee…”
“What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing.”
…
“Hey-hey…”
“…”
Ye Anping couldn’t be said to be hungry, but this afternoon, he was a little greedy after sitting next to Yun Tianchong, Yue Xuanming, Fu Xuan, and others at a table full of delicacies. Although Feng Yudie kept looking at her, which made him feel strange, he ignored her and just buried his head without saying a word, silently satisfying his craving.
Feng Yudie held her chin and watched him eat for a long time. She seemed a little bored and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
A full moon was hanging high in the starry sky, the streets of Donghuangweare were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there was a constant flow of pedestrians. It was the scene of a prosperous immortal city under the moon. Suddenly, a breeze mixed with sand and dust hit her, causing her to squint her eyes. She raised her hand to tuck her long hair behind her ears, and her golden eyes showed a bit of a woman’s pear blossom color.
Seeing her expression, Ye Anping was afraid that after she suddenly sighed, he rhymed with “miserable, miserable, miserable”. He immediately followed her line of sight and looked out, but he didn’t see anything, so he asked:
“What are you looking at? This expression…”
“Ah?” Feng Yudie seemed to be distracted and startled. She turned back, touched the back of her head, and said with a silly smile, “Nothing, hehe. I just think… the moon is quite beautiful tonight.”
“Moon?”
Ye Anping turned to look at the sky again. The altitude of the place where Donghuang Immortal City was located was indeed quite high. Coupled with the flying sand in the desert, the moon was indeed much larger than that of the Western Domain, so he agreed with the location and nodded:
“Hmm…it’s quite beautiful.”
Feng Yudie bared her teeth and smiled: “Right~ Hehe——”
Just now, Feng Yudie’s attention was focused on Ye Anping’s face. When she came back to her senses, she noticed that Xiao Tian, who was lying on Ye Anping’s head, had a bruised nose and swollen face.
For a moment, she twisted her eyebrows and tilted her head:
“Ah?! Xiao Tian, what’s wrong with you…”
“Ha~” Xiao Tian immediately gave her a big look, raised his foot and kicked Feng Yudie on the head, “Yudie, I’ve been here for a long time, and you didn’t notice it!?”
“Ah…”
Feng Yudie was a little embarrassed and giggled. She also made a sword finger and condensed a little of her spiritual energy, letting it turn into a shape like raindrops and fall on Xiao Tian’s forehead.
The green aura enveloped Xiao Tian. The next moment, the bruised and swollen areas on its face were back to normal. After Xiao Tian returned to his chubby soup dumpling face, he stopped kicking Feng Yudie, turned to look at the two of them, and angrily punched Ye Anping in the head:
“I’m back to lifting weights! Eat slowly~ Huh!”
Ye Anping was a little helpless to complain. He didn’t know if Xiao Tian could practice or learn a boxing technique. Anyway, it knew how to do it, so he didn’t care and explained:
“I met Ah Gu on the way back. Xiao Tian and Xue fought… and that’s what happened.”
Hearing the name “Ah Gu”, Feng Yudie immediately bit her lips, twisted her eyebrows, and asked:
“Ah?! She is also in Donghuang? Why is she insisting on us? We can run into her wherever we go…”
Ye Anping narrowed his eyes slightly: “Are you afraid of her?”
“Why am I afraid of her? Wasn’t she driven away by us last time? I just…”
Feng Yudie looked down at the table, her face clearly showing some nervousness. When she faced Gu Mingxin in a one-on-one fight on the snowy mountains of the Northern Domain, she couldn’t parry. If Ye Anping hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid…
“Anping, Yudie has always been worried about what happened last time. Even though she happily didn’t take it seriously when she came back when she was practicing her sword alone…”
Xiao Tian suddenly held a dumbbell, stretched his upper body out from Ye Anping’s head, and said with a smile on his face. The reward was of course Feng Yudie’s mouth-pushing stare:
“Go back to your house!”
“Hey hey~~.”
Xiao Tian bared his teeth and smiled, twisted his head, and got back in. After Ye Anping looked at each other and watched Xiao Tian go back, he slowly exhaled, put down the chopsticks in his hands, and said solemnly:
“Senior Sister Feng, do you believe me?”
“I still believe it…”
“Then as long as I’m still alive, she can’t kill you.”
“What if you die?”
“…”
Feng Yudie bit her lip slightly, met Ye Anping’s eyes, and asked in a low voice:
“You were so seriously injured last time. The old doctor Royal Guards called at that time and said that you had a narrow escape from death. I don’t believe that getting seriously injured was part of your plan.”
Wasn’t it just to protect you…
There was something he hadn’t expected about the previous plans in the Northern Domain. The first place is that when Jiang Mojiao was about to die, he went crazy and came to seize Gu Mingxin.
The second thing was that Feng Yudie lost her will to fight because of Gu Mingxin’s words.
Ye Anping shrugged slightly, without comment, nodded, and said, “No one is perfect, and I will naturally make mistakes. There is no absolute statement in the world. Even someone as powerful as Yunluo’s mother can never say that something will happen.”
“That’s right… What if you die next time?”
Ye Anping was silent for a moment and replied extremely calmly, “Maybe one day in the future I will die in something, but I can assure you, at least it won’t be this Donghuang incident.”
“…”
Feng Yudie naturally knew this truth, her master taught her this when she was a child.
——”Yu Die, people will eventually die one day. If the master suddenly leaves one day, don’t think too much. Just burn some paper money for the master every few years and let him stay underground. If you are hungry, Master will ask you to spank you in your dream!”
When she heard this, Feng Yudie didn’t feel anything at all. She just felt that Master was right.
But…
It wasn’t until that day that she was trapped in the cave for several days by the wind and snow. When she went back and saw the golden cicada shell of Master Taixu, she realized the meaning of the master’s words.
She had never thought that Master would suddenly fly away to the West, so when she faced Master’s golden cicada shell, her little mind was blank. She was stunned for a while, and then she understood:
“Oh! Master asked me to bury her! She also left something for me! She asked me to go to Xuanxing Sect!”
…
Maybe it’s because Ye Anping had never missed anything before. Whether it was the Chilong Mansion or Sword Sect’s affairs, Ye Anping always had the best chance of success. Even if he met the man named “Yun Kunwu” from the back mountain of Sword Sect, Ye Anping Anping also took everyone out safely.
Therefore, she had never thought about the possibility of Ye Anping’s death before. However, since she came back from the Northern Domain last time, she always remembered what the doctor said at that time:
——”Half of the meridians in his body were broken. He is in danger and may not be able to wake up. If it weren’t for the heavenly golden core and the strong body bones hanging from the body, I am afraid he would have died long ago…”
Feng Yudie felt very scared.
Even–
Even if Ye Anping disappeared from her sight for a short time, she would be inexplicably flustered, worried that the next time she saw Ye Anping, he would be out of breath…
It was like that this afternoon. Ye Anping asked her to eat roast chicken with Junior Sister Pei, Xiao Yunluo, and the fox. However, as soon as Ye Anping walked away before the time of burning the incense had passed, she was worried that something would happen to Ye Anping and wanted to follow him. She also asked Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo if they wanted to follow him.
Junior Sister Pei and Xiao Yunluo both said that it would be better if Ye Anping asked them to wait and not run around…
It was this worry that made Feng Yudie swallow thirty roast chickens in one go. Probably in this world, only roast chicken and Ye Anping could make her feel at ease…
Feng Yudie lowered her head slightly, as if she was about to cry, and whispered, “But if you die, Junior Sister Pei will be sad. If Junior Sister Pei will be sad, I will be sad too…”
“…”
This was the first time Ye Anping saw her expression. Although he always found it strange, he understood her logic after thinking about it and sighed:
“Your mentality is the same as that of mothers who have children for the first time.”
“Um?”
“Most mothers, after giving birth to their first child, wish to have it wrapped in a cloud forever, keeping everything that might hurt the child away from it… They are overly protective.”
“…”
“I won’t die that easily, and neither will my junior sister.”
Ye Anping picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of roast chicken in the small bowl in front of her, and said with a smile:
“Don’t worry, even if Junior sister and I encounter a fatal disaster that we cannot escape, you won’t be able to see it.”
Feng Yudie tilted her head: “Ah? Why?”
“If my junior sister and I are in danger of death, my first step will be to sell you out.”
Feng Yudie blinked blankly, her heart suddenly filled with mixed feelings, and her face covered with black lines, but after thinking about it, it was quite good…
If she encountered that situation and could use her life to save Junior Sister Pei, then she felt that she would not hesitate to choose to save Junior Sister Pei. After all, she was devoted to Junior Sister Pei!
“Hmm… Then if it comes to that, will you let me kiss with Junior Sister Pei before you sell me?”
“…”
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her, sighed, simply closed his mouth, and continued eating the roast chicken with his chopsticks. His life star was tied to Feng Yudie’s. If Feng Yudie died, he would have no way to survive…
Of course, this was unfounded. Seeing that Feng Yudie seemed to have figured it out and a silly smile gradually appeared on her face, Ye Anping also breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more.
Accompanied by the scene of the Dunhuang Night Market outside the window, the two of them ate the roast chicken on the table with chopsticks. After a while, only the chicken bones were left in the whole chicken, which was scattered on the dish. The moon outside the window crossed the sky about twenty degrees, and two knocks on the door broke the silence in the room.
Bang bang——
“Please come in.”
The wooden door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and the waiter of the inn led Yun Tianchong across the threshold and explained:
“Two guests, this senior said he has an appointment with you…”
“Well, thank you.”
Ye Anping nodded, threw a few spiritual stones as tips, and motioned to the waiter to step back with his eyes. After the waiter closed the door, Yun Tianchong took a deep breath, looked at Feng Yudie at the table opposite Ye Anping, swallowed slightly, walked to the table with an embarrassed look, looked at Ye Anping, and asked:
“Um… This is Miss Feng, right? Hahaha…”
Ye Anping met his gaze with the look of a scumbag and said, “Don’t look at me.”
Then, with a sigh, he stood up on his knees and prepared to exit first, but Yun Tianchong raised his hand and held his shoulder:
“It’s okay, it’s okay, no need to avoid it.”
“…”
Ye Anping was speechless. After sighing, he looked at Feng Yudie and introduced:
“Senior Sister Feng, this is Sect Leader Yun of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, your master’s Daoist companion, and the culprit who caused your master to end his path to immortality.”
Hearing this, Feng Yudie rolled her eyes and looked at Yun Tianchong, who had an embarrassed smile on his face. She asked Ye Anping with doubtful eyes: Are you lying to me?
Ye Anping tilted his head: What did I lie to you about?
Feng Yudie frowned: Isn’t he a god-transforming cultivator? This does not have the temperament of a god at all…
Ye Anping was speechless and couldn’t help but look at Yun Tianchong again. There was a saying, if it weren’t for his blond hair, the double plum blossom embroidery between his eyebrows, and the golden feather robe on his body, it would be impossible to tell that he was a god-transformation cultivator based on his appearance alone…
But then again, the model of Yun Tianchong in the game was quite personable and had a stern look on his face. You could tell at a glance that he was a quite powerful figure…
Is it because of the missing balls?
“Sect Master Yun, this matter happened because of you, so it would be better for you to speak up personally.”
“Ah ha ha…”
Yun Tianchong looked embarrassed and took a deep breath as he watched Feng Yudie look him up and down repeatedly, with the word “Disgust” written all over her face.
Dong Dong——
After two muffled sounds, Yun Tianchong dropped to his knees on the edge of the table. Feng Yudie was so frightened that she straightened her head. Even Ye Anping did not expect him to make such a move. Ye Anping didn’t feel very good, so he quickly used his spiritual energy to close the open window next to him to prevent anyone from seeing him.
Feng Yudie was stunned for a long time and asked, “What are you doing?”
Yun Tianchong took a deep breath, lay on the ground with his hands, placed his forehead heavily on the ground, and said, “Miss Feng, I have no way to defend what I did to your master Taixu back then. I know that Miss Feng hated me deeply. If Miss Feng wants to take revenge, I lower my head and petition, and I am willing to let Miss Feng take my head. I just hope that Miss Feng can put an end to the hatred in her heart.”
“…”
Feng Yudie listened, her head was empty for a moment, she turned to look at Ye Anping, and asked slowly, “Are you going to chop him?”
Ye Anping was confused: You ask me? It’s not my master he ruined…
“Oh…”
Feng Yudie shrank her head and seemed a little undecided for a moment. She looked at Yun Tianchong who was lying in front of her with his head buried in hesitation. After hesitating for a while, he asked again:
“Young Master Ye, is he a god-transformation cultivator?”
“…Yes.”
“Then… let’s not cut him down.” Feng Yudie murmured, “I can’t kill him with one or two swords… He has admitted his mistake. Why don’t you kowtow in front of my master’s tomb one day and see if my master can jump out and chop you?”
“…” “…”
Yun Tianchong didn’t understand Feng Yudie’s brain circuit and just stayed where he was. Although Ye Anping didn’t want to intervene, he saw that Feng Yudie was so undecided, and Yun Tianchong seemed to be ready to change his appearance.
Although it was a shame to transform into a god, after all, he was still a cultivator in the late stage of transforming into a god. A cultivator who transformed into a god and kowtowed to a cultivator who was in the core-formation stage was enough to show his sincerity.
Ye Anping almost wanted to take out the Snow Spirit Sword to see if the remnant soul of the Immortal Yunjian would come out, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it and said:
“Senior Sister Feng, do you forgive him?”
Feng Yudie looked at Ye Anping, stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized:
“Um, oh right! I almost forgot!!”
With a flick of her sword, she took out the glass bottle wrapped in oilcloth that Ye Anping had just given her and said, “If you buy this, I will forgive you.”
Although Yun Tianchong was confused, he looked up at the bottle wrapped in oilcloth and nodded without thinking:
“It’s okay… Miss Feng, can you give me a price?”
“Uh… Two million?”
“Hiss–”
It’s so expensive, what the hell…
Yun Tianchong hesitated for a while. He was a little aching for the price, but he thought that he owed Master Feng Yudie half of his life. If two million could end Feng Yudie’s heartache…
“OK!”
He stood up from the ground, took out a gold storage bag from the storage bag without saying a word, and sent it to Feng Yudie:
“There are ten top-grade Five Elements Spiritual Beads here, each worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. If Miss Feng has any difficulties in the future, please let me know at any time. No matter what you want, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse.”
“Oh.”
Feng Yudie took the spirit bead, opened it, and took a look inside. She was almost blinded by the spiritual light in the bag. She quickly sealed it, and put it back into the storage bag, and then threw the glass bottle over.
Yun Tianchong took the bottle and quickly prepared to tear open the oilcloth and take a look.
But to prevent trouble, Ye Anping stepped forward quickly and stopped him:
“Wait a minute, this object is extremely rare. Let’s wait until Immortal Yun returns to take it apart and take a look.”
“Uh… um.”
Yun Tianchong nodded and put the bottle back into his storage bag. He looked at Feng Yudie and seemed to want to sit down and have a chat with her, but Ye Anping interrupted again:
“Immortal Yun should go back early. Now there are demon cultivators in Donghuang Immortal City. Miss Yun and the others are not safe. See you in Heavenly Execution Court in a few days.”
“By the way, the thing just now was given to Miss Feng by Miss Yun Er.”
“That’s it… Then I’ll take my leave first.”
Yun Tianchong hesitated for a while, then bowed his hands to Feng Yudie, then nodded to Ye Anping, and then walked out of the room.
After the door closed, Ye Anping slowly exhaled, opened the window slightly, and looked towards the door of the inn.
He saw Yun Tianchong walking to the street under the courtesy of the waiter, but he took out the bottle again, opened the oilcloth, and looked inside. Ye Anping felt something was not good and quickly closed the window.
Then, a bark like a groundhog resounded throughout the street.
“Ah–!!”
The noisy sounds on the street suddenly became dead silence after the shouting. After a moment of silence, Yun Tianchong seemed to realize what had happened and roared again:
“Jiujiu!!! This stinky girl!! Hiss-ah-!!”
Then he ran back toward Qingsha Pavilion.
Ye Anping sat in his seat, with mixed feelings in his heart, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Anyway, the things were sold…
The next moment, Feng Yudie, who was sitting across the table from him, covered her mouth and laughed out loud:
“Puff–”
“Um?”
“Young Master Ye, it’s rare to see you sweating…”
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment. He didn’t even realize it. He raised his hand and touched his forehead before he realized that he was sweating. He immediately shook his head and smiled:
“You sell birds to others, and you break out in a cold sweat.”
“Hehe…” Feng Yudie put the bag of spirit beads that Yun Tianchong took out on the table, “Let’s divide the spoils. How about you and me?”
“Fifty-fifty.”
“Thirty-Seventy!”
“Um… Ok.”
…
