The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 391 - Brother, Second Idiot, One Roasted Chicken To Share

The sun peeked out from behind the western mountains, and Heavenly Wind City welcomed a new day.

Inside the Commander's Mansion, deer trophies hung on the walls and a white tiger carpet lay on the ground, emphasizing the owner's temperament. Xu Mulan, who was wearing black official clothes, had not slept all night.

This time, with the help of Young Lady Xiao and her gang, the Heavenly Wind City Snow Guards had eliminated a total of seventy Foundation Building demonic cultivators, four Core Formation demonic cultivators, and one Nascent Soul demonic cultivator.

This was undoubtedly a great achievement. Not only would it leave a name in history, but it would definitely be personally rewarded by the Empress.

However, the price they had to pay for this was the deaths of twenty Foundation Building and one Core Formation stage Snow Guards, as well as the sixty-nine heavily or lightly injured people in the Commander's Mansion.

Heartache was inevitable. These people were loyal comrades in arms who had been by her side for decades...

However, Xu Mulan knew that no matter how upset she was, she could not show it.

The Snow Guards were the defenders of the Cold Country, and she was their leader in Heavenly Wind City and also the representative of the Snow Guards in the eyes of the ordinary cultivators.

She needed to give the cultivators in the city a reason to feel at ease and trust that as long as she was still alive, Heavenly Wind City would not be occupied by demonic cultivators.

It was also her duty to appease the people and maintain morale.

But after all, she was still a human being, and also a woman.

Ever since becoming the Snow Guards' leader, she had buried her feminine side deep in her heart for decades.

All the things that accumulated in her heart gradually turned into a burden, pressing on her shoulders that were already overburdened by her big watermelons.

She didn't have anyone to talk to now...

"Sigh... If only there would be someone by my side right now... I'm so tired~~"

Xu Mulan felt a little overwhelmed. She leaned on the table and looked out of the window while the scene from eight days ago replayed in her mind.

Just as she was about to be killed by that Physical cultivator's armored fist, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her and protected her.

Although he was a young man who only reached her chin, he was like the Great Wall in the east of the Northern Region, making her feel safe.

After a dazzling fight with the Physical cultivator, he killed the man in just ten breaths, and then walked in front of her calmly, gently helping her up when she couldn't stand up...

"So cool..."

The big watermelons were pressed on the table, and a faint blush appeared on Xu Mulan's cheeks.

However, thinking that the young man who made her lower her eyes was attracted to her sister, Xu Xiyue...

She felt a pang of pain in her chest.

If Ye Anping was just an ordinary Young Master of a small sect, it would be easy to deal with.

She was in the late stage of Core Formation, while Ye Anping was only in the early stage.

As long as she sent an engagement request to the Hundred Lotus Sect, Ye Anping's father would definitely agree after seeing it. Even if she had to force this marriage, she could still marry him.

However, the problem was that the girls on Ye Anping's side were one more outstanding and of higher status than the other...

Pei Lianxue, Li Longling, Xiao Yunluo...

Not to mention that Feng Yu Die. A few days ago, she had asked an old cultivator about the golden dragon and silver hair. That old man said that the Holy Emperor of the Immortal Family had silver hair and was accompanied by a golden dragon.

None of them were to be trifled with...

Unless Ye Anping would fancy her himself, she would have no chance at all.

"Why on earth would such a perfect person like my sister... But if my sister doesn't want him, then... No, no, no."

Feeling that her thoughts were going astray, Xu Mulan sat up and shook her head.

At this time, there were two knocks on the door.

Knock knock---

Xu Mulan took a deep breath, displaying the dignified demeanor of a Snow Guard Commander. She picked up the ink pen beside her and answered coldly, "Come in."

Creak---

"Excuse me." Xu Xiyue's soft voice came from the door.

Xu Mulan looked up, startled.

Holding a basket in her hand, Xu Xiyue bowed properly, closed the door, and came to her side. She placed the basket on the table, saying, "Sister, I heard you were injured, so I brought you some sweet fruits."

"Ah... yeah." Xu Mulan avoided her gaze as she nodded faintly and rubbed her head. "I was that close to not being able to see you anymore, and it was Master Ye who saved me."

Xu Xiyue pursed her lips, nodding. "Well, I'll thank him later. And the two cultivation techniques he gave me earlier, I feel that I've made great progress these days. Maybe when I reach Foundation Building next year, I can join the Snow Guard to help you, sister."

Then, she asked, "Where is Senior Ye?"

"Master Ye was heavily injured and is recuperating in the Guest Hall of the Commander's Mansion."

"Ah... Was he seriously injured to save you?"

"I guess so... The doctor said he almost died, but Miss Feng saved him with... a very special method."

Xu Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she silently gave Ye Anping ten points in her heart.

Risking his life to save her sister was enough to show Senior Ye's sincerity toward her.

She nodded again. "Sister, I think Senior Ye is pretty good. Would you like to consider him? Since he risked his life to save you and gave me such a good technique... Although there are so many girls around him, but..."

It's you he likes! Silly girl!

Xu Mulan really wanted to say this at this moment, but looking at her sister's innocent eyes, somehow, she simply could not say it.

Xu Xiyue was her only relative in this world.

Right now, she was very afraid that she would follow Ye Anping to the Western Region and leave her all alone in Heavenly Wind City.

The Western Region and the Northern Region were thousands of miles apart, and she was the leader of the Snow Guard.

If Xu Xiyue left, the two sisters may not be able to see each other again in the next few years.

Xu Mulan bit her lips and suddenly reached out to pull Xu Xiyue into her arms, hugging her tightly. "Xiyue, sister..."

"Ah... Sister, what are you doing?!"

Xu Mulan hugged her sister and stroked her hair as if it was a final farewell.

In the end, she took a deep breath and mustered her courage.

"Hiss--- Xiyue, listen to me..."

"Uhm... what?"

"..."

Xu Mulan looked at her sister's dazed face, then stood up and took her hand, simply dragging her out. "Xiyue, come with me... I'll take you to Young Master Ye and let him tell you in person."

"Ah? Tell me... what?"

Xu Xiyue was confused, but she couldn't resist her sister's forceful pulling and could only follow her.

The two of them walked along the corridors and soon arrived at the Guest Hall entrance.

Two Snow Guards stood at the door dutifully, and when they saw the sisters, they bowed, but both revealed embarrassed expressions. "Commander Xu..."

"How is Young Master Ye?"

"Well..."

One of them was vague, while the other was frozen. With an embarrassed expression, they hinted, "Senior Pei and Young Miss Xiao are inside."

Xu Mulan obviously didn't understand her hint and nodded, thinking that since Ye Anping's two wives happened to be there, he could confess to her sister in front of them.

"Perfect."

??

What do you mean, perfect? Isn't the table already full, why are you inviting yourself?

The two Snow Guards were shocked to see Xu Mulan already reaching out to open the door. They were so scared that they quickly cupped their hands and lowered their heads, slowly taking two steps back.

"Mr. Ye..."

The words came out, then stopped abruptly.

The cold wind blew into the room through the open wooden door.

Xu Mulan's jaw slowly dropped, gradually approaching her large watermelons.

There was a sword and two girls' dresses scattered beside the bed.

Three pairs of feet, one big and two small, were exposed under the quilt on the bed.

Those two pairs of fair and smooth little feet wrapped around the legs of the person in the middle like vines.

Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue slept soundly on Ye Anping's left and right shoulders. It seemed that because of the cold wind that entered when Xu Mulan opened the door, they shrank toward Ye Anping.

If there was only one person, Xu Mulan could still accept it...

She had heard of the method of healing with the art of dual cultivation, and Ye Anping had a cultivation partner after all.

But...

Two?!!

It was actually a multiple cultivation!

Staying beside her sister, Xu Xiyue was a little shy, but she was also curious. She kept looking to the side, but she couldn't help but look back.

"Sister, this..."

"..."

Xu Mulan was completely stunned. Ye Anping was so severely injured, but he didn't rest all night after waking up. He even called these two to accompany him.

...

Hooo~~

As the cold wind blew in, Ye Anping, who was sleeping lightly, slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling that his shoulders were sore, he looked left and right at the two people who were sleeping soundly, as last night's memories surfaced in his mind.

Ye Anping was a little helpless. Last night, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, letting them torture him for the whole night. The two girls only let him go when it was almost dawn, when they finally leaned against him and fell asleep.

At this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from the door.

"Sister, this..."

Ye Anping's heartbeat instantly became a straight line, and he turned his eyes to look at the door.

Xu Mulan and Xu Xiyue, one big and one small, stood against the light, and their faces seemed to be black as they stood at the door.

Oh shit!!!

Ye Anping exclaimed in his heart. He had spent so much effort to maintain the perfect image in the eyes of Xu Mulan and her sister, but now, he was probably on par with Ye Tianchong.

Getting up now and explaining in a panic was not a good idea.

Let's keep pretending to sleep.

After the two people at the door calmed down in a while, he would explain...

"Woo..."

?!

Pei Lianxue squinted her eyes slightly and opened them, while Ye Anping quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

She looked at her brother's profile in a daze, then suddenly noticed the two people standing at the door and instantly shrunk her neck.

"Commander Xu and..."

Seeing Pei Lianxue wake up, Xu Mulan came back to her senses. She quickly covered Xu Xiyue's eyes and turned her around before walking out.

"Excuse me!"

Bang---

The wooden door slammed shut.

Xiao Yunluo, who was leaning on Ye Anping's left shoulder, was startled and sat up suddenly. Seeing Pei Lianxue looking at her expressionlessly, she lowered her voice and asked, "Lian... Lianxue, what's wrong?"

"Just now Commander Xu came and then left."

"...Ah?"

Xiao Yunluo's face flushed in embarrassment. She lowered her head to look at Ye Anping, who was pretending to be asleep, and whispered, "Then... should we go back? Before Anping wakes up..."

Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, thinking for a while, and shook her head slowly. "Not good."

"It's fine... Let's come back tonight. We'll go cook something for later. Anping is not fasting and he hasn't eaten anything for eight days."

Ye Anping: ?

"Well... I'll do it. I know what Brother likes."

"Okay!"

Ye Anping lay there, feeling powerless. Then, he heard the rustling sounds of the two beside him and felt them crawling over him...

"Lianxue... help me get the clothes, they are near you... my legs are weak..."

"Here..."

"Lianxue, aren't your legs limp?"

"They are..."

Rustle---

The sound of the two getting dressed came to his ears. Ye Anping opened his eyes slightly and took a look. Then, he saw his sister and Xiao Yunluo sitting by the bed and putting on their shoes. They helped each other to stand up and moved toward the door step by step.

Creak---

Slowly opening the door, then carefully closing it.

"..."

The room was quiet again, and the sweet orchid fragrance of the soothing incense was refreshing. Ye Anping exhaled tiredly, moved his numb shoulders a little, and looked at the ceiling thoughtfully.

Ye Anping never actually thought about having a harem.

At least, he hadn't thought about it when he was still that ordinary Hundred Lotus Sect Cannon Fodder Young Master.

At that time, he had planned to bring Xiyue along with his sister and live peacefully in the Hundred Lotus Sect.

But...

"Sigh..."

Could it be that this was also caused by the Reverse Star?

In other words, was the harem an opportunity he had taken from Feng Yu Die?

This explanation made sense. Feng Yu Die's harem in the game had indeed helped her countless times.

So, it seemed that he couldn't abandon the Nine Elements of the Heart technique and re-cultivate another method. Otherwise, considering the physique of Lianxue and Yunluo, how could he take it?!

Ye Anping changed his line of thought. "Hmm... Imperial Advisor should have received the map I drew and should have started to eliminate the demonic cultivators in the Northern Region. If Gu Mingxin could die in his hands... Alas, it's unlikely... It would be too good if she died so easily."

Thinking of this, Ye Anping frowned slightly.

In fact, if Jiang Mojiao hadn't rushed in at the last moment, he would have had a 70% chance of killing Gu Mingxin.

No matter how powerful Gu Mingxin was, a comeback was absolutely impossible when she was besieged by him, Feng Yu Die, Lianxue, and Yunluo---four Core Formation cultivators who were working together.

It could be said that Jiang Mojiao had saved her life, but it could equally be said that the Heavenly Dao had saved her life.

"Was it because she hasn't reached her destiny yet? Or maybe..."

Ye Anping rubbed his forehead and stopped thinking about it. Upon returning to the Black Star Sect, he was going to ask Old Lady Si what were the stars she saw.

And why did she give Gu Mingxin a bell?

But no more thinking for now.

He'd better rest.

Ye Anping let out another long breath and closed his eyes.

However, the next moment, a little golden figure emerged from his forehead and floated into the air, stretching.

"Woo~~~Ha--- Anping, good morning!"

"..."

Xiao Tian spun around in the air and then lay on his chest. She crossed her legs and swung them, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Eh? Anping, why don't you wear clothes when you sleep?"

"..."

Ye Anping opened his eyes, rolled them at her, and then closed them back and continued to 'sleep'.

"Hey! Anping, a day's work begins in the morning, get up quickly~ the sun is shining~"

"I'm injured."

"Didn't Yu Die heal you yesterday?"

"...Internal injuries."

"Huh?"

Xiao Tian didn't quite understand, but at this moment, a sauce fragrance suddenly wafted into the room from outside.

Bang---

"Master Ye! Are you up yet? I roasted a chicken for you."

"..."

Feng Yu Die kicked open the door and walked over, carrying a plate of roasted chicken in both hands. Seeing Ye Anping lying flat on the bed with his eyes wide open, she shrank her neck slightly.

"Young Master Ye, why are you sleeping naked?"

---???

"Hiss-- how many times have I told you to knock before entering?!!!"

"Oh..." Feng Yu Die pulled back her neck in aggravation. "Why are you so fierce..."

"Get out of here!"

A spiritual force emerged from Ye Anping's right hand and snatched the roasted chicken from Feng Yu Die's hand, then threw it out the door.

"Hey? My roasted chicken!!!"

Feng Yu Die dashed out and deftly caught the roasted chicken. Just as she was about to return, the door of the room was closed in her face with a "snap".

Standing outside the door, Feng Yu Die pouted as she frowned at the roasted chicken in her hand. "If you don't want it, I'll eat it myself! Hmph~~~"

Then, she sat cross-legged outside the door, pushed the door open a crack, and started eating heartily.

"Nom nom, slurp~"

The tantalizing sound of chewing as well as the aroma of the sauce drifted in along the doorway and reached Ye Anping's nose, reminding him he had not eaten for eight days.

Gurgle~~

His stomach suddenly growled, and Xiao Tian covered her mouth and snickered. "Anping~~ Are you hungry?"

Ye Anping sighed tiredly and sat up. He picked up his clothes from the ground, put them on, and slowly walked to the door.

Squeak---

When he opened the door, Feng Yu Die turned to look over. Seeing Ye Anping staring at her from head to toe, she squinted and smiled. "Hehe~ Hungry? Here!"

Then, she gave him the roasted chicken she had taken two bites of.

"Thanks."

Ye Anping sighed helplessly. He took the roasted chicken and looked around. "Let's eat in the garden. Help me get a wheelchair. My legs haven't recovered yet."

"Okay~"

Feng Yu Die nodded and quickly ran along the corridor to the clinic next door. She carried a wheelchair back and helped Ye Anping sit on it, then pushed him toward the garden behind the Commander's Mansion.
