The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C53

Chapter 53: Junior sister, senior brother loves me

Ye Anping held Pei Lianxue’s little hand and purposely slowed down, savouring the enchanting sights of the sky street after nightfall with her. The market of the Mystic Star Sect wasn’t small, about the size of the Hundred Lotus Sect. Many shops operated through the night, as cultivators, especially beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage, didn’t necessarily need to sleep. Even those with leisure time at the Foundation Establishment Stage would explore the market at night.

Pei Lianxue walked obediently beside him, her gaze fixed on the cobblestone ground, lost in her thoughts. After observing for a while, Ye Anping finally realised her behaviour. Her reason for walking with her head down was simply to avoid stepping on the gaps between the cobblestones. She meticulously aimed to place each step in the centre of the cobblestones. When encountering broken ones, she would gracefully jump over them.

What a quirk.

Yet, it was undeniably cute, resembling an ordinary little girl rather than a skilled cultivator who had faced numerous beasts and excelled in swordsmanship, immune to various poisons.

Little did he know, Pei Lianxue was currently conflicted, contemplating her future through divination. It was similar to a petal-pulling divination – did he love me, or did he not?

She was pondering whether, by stepping on each cobblestone in a particular sequence, she could divine her senior brother’s affections. Left foot forward meant “Senior Brother loves me,” and right foot forward at the end of the street told, “Senior Brother doesn’t love me.”

After several steps, she reached the last cobblestone, about to make a turn. She stopped, realising her right foot was forward. With a slight pout, she immediately took a small hop in place, switching her left foot to the last cobblestone – asserting control over her destiny. Senior Brother loves me!

Observing her antics, Ye Anping was perplexed. What was she doing all of a sudden?

“Junior sister, what are you up to?”

“…” Pei Lianxue remained silent for a moment, then looked up at him and asked, “Do you love me, senior brother?”

Why the sudden question?

Ye Anping blinked, smiling, “Of course I do. You’re my only junior sister. How could I not love you?”

“Hmm…” Pei Lianxue shyly smiled, nodding and tightening her grip on Ye Anping’s hand, “Hehe…”

At this moment, Ye Anping paused, suddenly realising, “Could it be that you saw something you wanted when you were shopping with Xiao Yunluo before and now want me to buy it for you?”

“Ah! No…”

“With your personality, just tell senior brother if you want something. Am I an outsider? Come on, what do you want?”

Pei Lianxue looked at her senior brother’s face, remained silent for a while, and finally nodded.

“Um.”

When she and Xiao Yunluo were browsing the market earlier, Xiao Yunluo took her to a clothing store, wanting to gift her some clothes. However, she had firmly declined as the prices were exorbitant. A simple tulle shawl alone cost a thousand spiritual stones.

However, in that store, she spotted an exceptionally beautiful and ethereal red wedding dress. The shopkeeper proudly introduced it, claiming it was adorned with eighty-one spiritual treasures. Regardless of peaks or plains, wearing it would capture every man’s attention.

Though she didn’t fully understand, she genuinely found it beautiful and daydreamed about wearing that wedding dress when she and her senior brother tied the knot.

Of course, Pei Lianxue wouldn’t tell her senior brother she desired that wedding dress. It would be awkward if her older brother couldn’t afford it, and it seemed extravagant. She only wanted her senior brother’s attention, not every man’s.

Coincidentally, she noticed a budget-friendly ready-made clothing store on the roadside. After hesitating for a moment, Pei Lianxue took the initiative to hold her senior brother’s hand, turned around, and walked back to the door of the clothing store.

“Clothes.”

“…”

Ye Anping looked at the signboard above the clothing store, blinking in confusion. This was the store where he had custom-made women’s clothing. Initially, he had thought of having someone dressed in women’s clothing to attract customers to the physical therapy centre, but the plan was set aside when Bai Yuexin helped draw in customers.

As for that woman’s dress, he remembered it when Feng Yudie came to his shop for roast chicken. The dress was custom-made according to his body shape, and due to similarities in body size with Feng Yudie, he sold it to her at a 50% discount, making a good profit.

When Ye Anping thought of finding an excuse to choose a different store, the store’s proprietress, recognising him, approached and greeted them.

“Isn’t this the young master from last time?”

“Hmm?” Pei Lianxue, seeing that the shop owner recognised her senior brother, tilted her head and quickly pulled him towards the shop. “Ma’am, has my senior brother bought clothes here before?”

“It’s so impressive,” the proprietress chuckled, covering her mouth. “The young master asked me to make a skirt based on his body shape when he came in.”

“Skirt…?” Pei Lianxue looked at Ye Anping with a face of horror, causing him to feel awkward and unsure of how to explain.

At that moment, the proprietress continued, “The young master bought it as a gift, right? How is it? The clothes I made are not bad, are they?”

“Give it away?” Pei Lianxue furrowed her brows, realising that the clothes were made based on her senior brother’s body shape. To give it away?

Ye Anping had to come up with a lame excuse and swiftly changed the topic.

“I just made one for home decoration. Well, junior sister, you wanted clothes, right? Boss, help my junior sister make a well-fitting one. Ask her about the style and colour.”

“Sure! Young master, please sit inside for a while. I’ll take the young lady to measure her size,” said the boss enthusiastically.

While the proprietress measured her for the clothes, Pei Lianxue asked, “Boss, what does the dress my senior brother ordered look like?”

“Hmm? It’s emerald green, similar to the clothes I’m wearing now, but with better fabric.”

“Okay…”

Pei Lianxue nodded, keeping her lips sealed. She knew of only one girl with a body similar to her senior brother’s, and that was Feng Yudie. She decided to check Feng Yudie’s wardrobe when she got back to confirm.

But… What if it was true?

Giving intimate clothes to someone of the opposite sex was a very affectionate gesture, similar to providing handkerchiefs or jade pendants, especially when not very familiar with each other. Wasn’t the Senior Brother missing the girl Xi Yue in his heart? Why would he give clothes to that white-haired fool? What’s so good about that idiot?
