The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 154 - Can't Reason With Little Sister

There was no sound in the room for a long time.

Pei Lianxue's watery amber eyes were full of expectation, blinking from time to time, and Ye Anping felt at a loss.

He opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally, gently pulled his sister to sit on the edge of the bed. He held her little hand in his palm, squeezed it lightly, and confirmed in case he had misheard. "Sister, do you want Ating?"

Pei Lianxue put her head on Ye Anping's shoulder, pressed her body against him, and nodded. "Uhm..."

Ye Anping gulped, avoiding his sister's eyes. Although his expression was a little unnatural, he answered nonchalantly. "Hasn't Ating always called you aunt? She..."

"No..."

Pei Lianxue frowned and interrupted quickly. She lowered her head and touched her belly, with some doubts in her mind: She and her brother had been sharing a bed for so many months, why had she not yet conceived a child?

All this time, she actually thought a lot about this issue.

Maybe the method was wrong?

Could it be because there was not enough kissing?

Could it be because they did not fulfill the religious rites?

But after thinking about a variety of reasons, she still couldn't find the problem.

In the end, she wanted to ask Ye Anping.

---Brother knew everything. It was impossible that he wouldn't know why she couldn't conceive a child.

Pei Lianxue raised her head, met Ye Anping's gaze, and said, "I want your Ating... well, yours and mine..."

"..."

Seeing Pei Lianxue touching her belly, Ye Anping suddenly realized that his silly little sister had probably always thought that she could get pregnant by sleeping with him in the same bed.

He had never thought about his sister's feelings for him.

But after that night a few days ago, no matter how stupid he was, he could understand that the sister's love for her brother was no longer just "dependence", "trust", "tolerance", "You raised me up, I will accompany you to grow old"...

Sister's love for him was no longer simple.

Ye Anping tucked her hair behind her ears, looked at her charming eyes, and suddenly wanted to laugh as he asked, "You want a baby?"

"Well..."

Ye Anping gently tapped his sister's nose and explained. "Sister, you are too young to have a baby."

Pei Lianxue puffed out her cheeks and complained defensively. "I'm not too young. I'm already mature."

"That's for ordinary people. When ordinary people are as old as you are, it's indeed time to marry and have children, but cultivators are different." Ye Anping raised his index finger and said solemnly, "Cultivators usually give birth to their first child after decades or even hundreds of years, like my parents, who gave birth to me when they were more than three hundred years old."

Pei Lianxue, having no way to refute, grimaced and lowered her head.

Then, Ye Anping asked again, "Also, have you ever thought about it? After you have a child, how are you going to raise it? Being at the Foundation Building stage, do you have enough strength and spirit stones to support a child? Can you give the child a stable environment to grow up in?

Pei Lianxue shook her head slightly. "No..."

"Right, so don't think about it now." Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief and patted her head. "Anyway, I don't want to have a baby now. It's already hard enough to raise you. If you add another baby, I'll be exhausted."

"..."

Pei Lianxue's eyes were filled with disappointment. She grabbed Ye Anping's hand and placed it on her thigh, then lowered her head and stroked his fingers.

She knew she was stupid, and it was simply a fantasy that she could defeat her brother in reasoning.

But...

She just wanted to have his child.

I want!! I want!! I just want it!!

Pei Lianxue felt inexplicably irritable. She suddenly grabbed her brother's index finger and wrenched it upwards, just like he did to her when she was a child.

"Hiss--"

Sensing something was wrong, Ye Anping took a deep breath and held her hand. "Sister, wait!"

Pei Lianxue squinted at him angrily, her cheeks bulging like steamed dumplings.

"Woo---"

"I didn't say I don't agree." Ye Anping quickly comforted her. "I just said that the matter of having children should be carefully considered. Didn't you say you're already mature? Learn from playing chess, like me: think three moves in advance and plan carefully."

---Brother, you are my brain!

---Anyway, my thoughts are not as detailed as yours.

Pei Lianxue was silent for a while, and then she increased her strength.

Click---

It seemed that she was not satisfied with his answer. Ye Anping looked at his crooked finger and felt that his sister was getting stronger and stronger. He took back his hand helplessly and snapped his finger back.

"Sister, I promise that in the future, we will have children together."

Pei Lianxue's eyes lit up, and the 'steamed dumplings' on her face deflated a little.

"Um..."

"But there are prerequisites. The first is that you have to practice well so you can protect the children."

"What else?"

"Second, you have to learn to take care of a child. You can't just spoil them. You don't know anything now, so how can you teach others?"

"Well..." Pei Lianxue lowered her eyes and thought for a while. "I will teach my children the way you taught me."

"..."

Startled, Ye Anping pictured the scene.

Pei Lianxue and little Lianxue stood on the Hundred Lotus Sect's martial arts training platform in the winter's cold snow. "Legs apart, hands straight! At Mom's command, launch a right-hand uppercut!"

...

He couldn't know whether this would be right or wrong for the bunch of souls that would reincarnate into his and his sister's children.

In the past, he and Pei Lianxue had no choice in order to prevent a deadly danger.

But it should be pretty good. According to that training method, one should be able to raise a child into an outstanding person.

However, when thinking about this, Ye Anping suddenly realized that raising children was also a blind spot for him.

There was no system for raising children in the game, and he had never taken care of children before transmigrating.

However, if his sister wanted to have a child, then he would try his best to have one with her, but certainly not now. At least not until they reached the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage and had a stable place to live.

"Hmm..."

Propping his chin, Ye Anping thought carefully.

When you encounter a problem, you need to find a solution.

There was simply only one way to find a solution, and that was to experiment continuously and then synthesize and revise the continuous attempts until the best answer was found.

Experiment... experimental subject...

It just so happened that there was a child around them...

"Well... Sister, I'll tell you what..."

Pei Lianxue tilted her head. "Huh?"

"Start treating Liang Ating as our future child, then summarize and reflect on the best way to raise a child. Then, when you have a baby in the future, you'll know what to do, right?"

"..."

Pei Lianxue thought it made sense and nodded. "Okay."

"Phew--"

Ye Anping exhaled, then stood up, walked to the closet, and took out the Black Star Sect's uniform. Then, he prepared to go for a dip in the spiritual spring on the back mountain.

Seeing this, Pei Lianxue asked, "Brother, are you going somewhere?"

"Well... I'm going to the mountains to soak in the spiritual spring. I'll be back later."

"What about me?"

"You can't go. The energy in that spiritual spring does not match your spiritual roots. If you bathe in it, miscellaneous energy will be generated in your meridians, which will do more harm than good."

Pei Lianxue was taken aback. "Oh..."

Ye Anping put the sect uniform into his storage bag and leaned over to kiss her. "The house is in your care. I'm leaving now."

Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and nodded happily. "Yeah... okay."
