The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 182 - Kissing In Front Of Her

Ye Anping ordered roasted chicken for Feng Yu Die and left her to eat alone while he explained the details of the plan to his sister.

In no time, the inn's waiter brought two quilts, helped them move the tables and chairs, and laid two beddings on the floor. Considering the long journey of several thousand miles, Ye Anping let Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue rest for a while.

Soon, the moon rose above the branches.

Ye Anping opened the window, looked at the sky, and figured it was almost dawn, so he woke them up. He left several spirit stones on the table as payment for their room, then they packed their clothes and luggage and jumped out the room window to go and prepare the place in advance.

...

The sun rose later in winter, and it was not until around the ninth hour that a faint white light appeared on the horizon.

Ye Anping sent Feng Yu Die to catch a demonic beast while he took Pei Lianxue and traveled thirty miles along the road from Oblivion River Town to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

Because of the snow, he estimated that Yun Xi and Zhang Yihe would come down to rest after arriving here with their flying swords, so he decided to set up the ambush site here.

After landing in a clearing, Ye Anping walked along the road and measured the distances with his steps, mentally rehearsing what would happen next. He then said, "Sister, you will hide behind the tree over there. After the beast captured by Feng Yu Die knocks down or injures Yun Xi, you come out to rescue her using your sword technique to kill the monster. Afterward, what will you say if she asks why you're here?"

Pei Lianxue thought about it and replied, "I followed my brother, who was called here to marry the eldest lady of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect."

"Right, that's it. You can tell her the truth about this. There's only one thing you can't say: that you know Feng Yu Die. And I don't know her either. Understood?"

"Understood!!"

Ye Anping nodded, and then he was about to go and find a high place to watch. Seeing that he was leaving, Pei Lianxue hastily reached out and grabbed him. "Brother..."

"Yes? Still have questions?"

Pei Lianxue pointed to her own lips and hinted. "We won't be able to see each other for the next seven days. Won't you have problems with your yang energy?"

"There won't be any problem before we meet again." Ye Anping looked at her, shook his head helplessly, and walked over. "Then, let's kiss now?"

"Mmm..."

Pei Lianxue nodded with pursed lips, then closed her eyes, and put her hands behind her back. Lifting her face, she waited for the last kiss from her brother for the next seven days.

However, suddenly, sounds from two sets of footsteps came from the woods on both sides of the road.

Ye Anping's ears twitched. He stopped his kissing motion and turned his head to look.

Five armed swordsmen wearing white bamboo hats emerged from behind the trees and walked out of the woods on one side of the road.

Ye Anping scanned them with his spiritual sense. Among the five people, two perfected the Qi Refining stage, and two were in the early stage of Foundation Building. He immediately became vigilant. These people were quite skilled. He and his sister didn't notice anyone waiting in ambush there.

One of the swordsmen took two steps forward, pointed his long sword at them, and roared. "If you want to stay alive, hand over your storage..."

"Sister, keep one alive!"

He and Ye Anping spoke almost at the same time, but before the swordsman finished speaking, the figures of Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue disappeared from the place, leaving behind only a flurry of snowflakes stirred up by their footsteps.

The swordsman didn't even get to react and was still speaking as the two people seemed to disappear out of thin air. "...your storage bags."

Overlapping his words, there were four sounds of swords piercing flesh.

Swish swish swish---

By the time he finished speaking, all the other swordsmen around him had fallen to the ground, and he was the only one left standing.

"...?"

The next moment.

Ding--

Out of nowhere, two swords stretched from behind his shoulders on both sides and crossed in front of his neck, stopping with a light sound.

Ye Anping frowned slightly, thinking that there was probably someone else in the woods, but he had no time to deal with that, so he asked, "If you want to live, tell the truth. How long have you been waiting here?"

"..."

Swish---

The two swords crossed in front of the man's neck like a pair of scissors, closed an inch, making him scream in fright. "Two days!!!"

Ye Anping narrowed his eyes. If they had been waiting for two days, it meant that they were targeting someone specific. "Who were you waiting for?"

"We... we weren't waiting for anyone, we just..."

Ye Anping paused and glanced sideways at his sister.

Immediately, the "scissors" on his neck closed with a click, and the swordsman fell down with a 'plop', leaving a streak of red on the snowy road.

Earlier, when he heard Yun Xi say that she encountered so many problems, he felt that it was no coincidence.

Seeing this group of people, he could imagine that the troubles Yun Xi encountered on the way, except for the Dragon House, were most likely related to Yun Yiyi.

This group of people could not kill Yun Xi and Zhang Yihe. Their purpose should be to delay Yun Xi's return to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect as much as possible.

Ye Anping remained silent for a while, then put his sword in the storage bag and said, "...The plan remains unchanged."

"Okay..."

Boom--

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the forest, and a swordsman wearing a white hat flew through the air, drawing a parabola in the sky before finally landing in front of Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue.

"..."

Ye Anping turned to look in the direction he flew from and saw Feng Yu Die walking out with her sword in hand. She smiled. "Young Master Ye, you missed one!"

"This is the last one?"

"Yeah!" Feng Yu Die nodded with her hands on her hips as if she was waiting to be praised. "I just came over and saw him sneaking around in the forest, so I went and beat him up."

The swordsman who was lying in front of Ye Anping raised his hand and begged for mercy. "Master... spare me..."

However, his plea for mercy only earned him a cold face from Ye Anping, a flash of sword light, and a fire talisman.

Feng Yu Die watched dumbfounded and asked, "Don't you want to interrogate him?"

"I have already interrogated another one."

"Oh..."

When almost everything was burnt, Ye Anping used spiritual energy to clean the blood and bury it underneath the snow. Then, he turned to look at Feng Yu Die, and, seeing that her hands were empty, he was a little confused. "Where is the demonic beast you caught?"

"Bundled up in the forest. It's a snow bull and was quite strong; I've put in a lot of effort."

Ye Anping nodded and turned to Pei Lianxue. "Sister, go wait in hiding here. Yun Xi will come over soon, and we will lure the snow bull using a cow's mooing as a calling."

"Okay!"

Pei Lianxue nodded and thought about the kiss that was interrupted by those people just now. When she saw Ye Anping preparing to leave, she walked up to him, tiptoed, and kissed him on the lips.

Feng Yu Die, who was about to walk back into the forest, heard a sound and turned her head to look over, a little confused.

?

Seeing such a scene, she was startled, and the hilt of the sword she held in her right hand slipped from her palm and fell to the ground.

"..."

Ye Anping was taken aback but didn't say anything. Glancing at Feng Yu Die, who was still standing there motionless, he pretended that nothing happened, touched his sister's head, and turned around to leave.

"I'm leaving."

"Ah..."

"..."

Feng Yu Die stared blankly at the two people. After Ye Anping walked into the forest, she shook her head and quickly looked at the sky. She was relieved to see there was no stork flying above. Her master had told her that if a stork saw a couple kissing, it would pick up a child and give it to the two people who had been kissing.

She picked up her sword from the ground, waved goodbye to Pei Lianxue, and chased after Ye Anping. "Sister Pei, be careful. That snow bull is quite fierce!"
