The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 401 - Brother's Wives Return At Night

Filled with uncertainty, Feng Yu Die thought for a long time, and she finally remembered a golden-haired girl who was always looking for her to fight, holding a wine gourd in her hand, and calling her "Brother Yu".

She pouted and retorted with a frown. "That's not my wife..."

Xiao Tian, who was standing by, became serious. "Anping, what happened? What does the jade slip say?"

"The three girls from the Moon Shadow Sword Sect followed their father to the Eastern Great Wall at the Central Region border."

"The Great Wall? Let me see."

Xiao Tian pulled out the Heavenly Dao Scroll from under her skirt and opened it. She followed the densely packed words with her finger and read out loud.

"So... In the 372nd year of the Ten Thousand Years Demonic Calendar, the Hundred Immortal City was built by the Great Ancestor Xu. It was originally intended to prevent the invasion of demonic beasts east of Brilliance Mountain. But since Immortal Matriarch Red Moon drove the demonic cultivators to the Eastern Region, the Great Wall was left to the Imperial Sect and used as the first line of defense against the demonic cultivators... There are countless ancient spell formations and passages inside. After the Imperial Sect was established, the demonic cultivators attacked hundreds of times but failed..."

Ye Anping bluntly interrupted. "This time, it will be broken."

"Ah?"

"The previous invasion of the demonic cultivator into the Cold Country actually cut off a retreat route for the Eastern Great Wall, leaving the Cold Country unable to bring reinforcements. The Emperor of the Central Region is dead and the Demon Clan does not like human cultivators. The demonic cultivators not only will not provoke the Demon Clan but will instead win them over. Naturally, there is no reason for them to help the Justice Division resist the demonic cultivators."

Ye Anping let out a long breath and concluded. "In a nutshell, the demonic cultivators have seized a good opportunity to take down the Eastern Great Wall."

Although Ye Anping's tone was very calm and his expression was cool as usual, in fact, he was very anxious at the moment and couldn't think of any response plan.

The life and death of the Justice Division had nothing to do with him.

Although Tong Zilan had asked him to help, he was not the kind of fool who would put himself, his sister, Yunluo, and the others in danger in order to save a stranger.

He had no intention of participating in the Eastern Great Wall incident. He wanted to work hard and prepare together with his sisters and the others, in anticipation of the next fight with Gu Mingxin.

However...

Why did the Moon Shadow Sword Sect suddenly contact the Justice Division?

Ye Anping tried to guess the reason for the Yun family's actions. He finally realized that this might have something to do with him changing the plot line in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

In the game, the leader of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, Yun Tianchong, decided to continue his seclusion to break through to the Void Returning stage after the death of one or more of his daughters.

But after he and Feng Yu Die paid them a visit, not only did Yun Yiyi and her sisters survive, but Yun Tianchong's 'bird' was also finished off by the three of them...

This might have caused Yun Tianchong to choose not to continue to break through to the Void Returning stage. Instead, he reconsidered and did his best to take care of his three daughters while also rebuilding the declining Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

Gathering what remained of the Justice Division was indeed a good way to revive the Sword Sect, but who proposed this method?

Yun Yiyi? Or rather... Yun Xi...

Ye Anping felt that it was most likely Yun Xi. He felt quite tired, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Tian and Feng Yu Die looking at him expectantly.

He asked in confusion, "Why are you staring at me?"

Feng Yu Die nodded with a blink. "Well? Master Ye, shouldn't you be telling us what to do? We're going to help them, right?"

"..."

Xiao Tian seemed to think the same and asked, "Yes, Anping, you must have planned it long ago. What should we do?"

?

Ye Anping gave them a strange look.

---Forget about Feng Yu Die, why are you, a self-proclaimed Heavenly Dao Scroll spirit, staring at me so eagerly?

---Obviously, in the game, many things were planned by you, the golden fool, together with the silvery fool next to you.

"Sigh..."

Ye Anping sighed bitterly.

To be honest, this matter didn't look too good.

If the demonic cultivators were one or two Deification stage cultivators or the leader of the Hedonistic Sect, he would have a way. However, the person who attacked the Great Wall was the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, Seven Ghost Tomb.

Not to mention that he was at the Void Returning stage, he was also practicing Ghost cultivation, which was very difficult to deal with. Moreover, there were dozens of Deification and Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators with him.

Those Deification and Nascent Souls cultivators were by no means comparable to fake powers like Jiang Mojiao. They were all thousand-year-old veterans like Lei Wanjun and Elder Feng.

It could be said that unless the hero Xuanji was willing to help, he alone wouldn't stand a chance.

However, at noon today, when Si Xuanji was playing with her feet in the lake water, she made her position clear.

---"Her 'mother' won't do anything in the matter, so don't meddle."

Right now, he had to find another way; otherwise, Yun Yiyi and the others would be in danger.

Killing Seven Ghost Tomb was currently unrealistic, and so was repelling them.

Then, he would settle for the next best thing, trying to save as many people as possible...

Ye Anping's eyes were fixed as he expanded his train of thought. He searched for chess pieces that he could use and thought about the strategies that the demonic cultivators might adopt...

Seeing Ye Anping's rare gloomy look, Xiao Tian realized that this matter was not as simple as she thought. "Anping, you also don't know?"

"Well, I have to think about it."

"Do you want me to accompany you? I'll show you the Heavenly Dao Scroll."

"No need, I know everything in it."

Ye Anping took a deep breath, temporarily put aside his thoughts, and turned around, continuing to walk toward his own courtyard.

Feng Yu Die hurriedly called out. "Young Master Ye."

Ye Anping looked back. "What?"

"I believe you can definitely come up with a good solution, just like before!"

"..."

Ye Anping stared at her blankly.

After being stared at by him for a while, Feng Yu Die suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She just wanted to encourage Ye Anping because she saw that he looked anxious...

With a blush on her cheeks, Feng Yu Die turned and ran toward her own courtyard holding the roasted chicken that Ye Anping gave her.

With her silver hair fluttering slightly as she ran, Feng Yu Die disappeared from Ye Anping's sight in a short while.

Not long after Feng Yu Die left, two faint blushing spots appeared under Ye Anping's purple eyes.

"Eh? Anping, are you blushing? How cute~"

Ye Anping came back to his senses, and his eyes twitched slightly.

---Damn it, Heavenly Dao!

Then, he answered casually. "I just finished sparring, that's why I'm feeling a little hot."

Xiao Tian pursed her cat-like lips and snickered.

"Heehee~~"

"...?"

"Ehehe~ Anping, see you tomorrow!"

Seeing a vein pop up on Ye Anping's forehead, Xiao Tian waved her hand knowingly, and after spinning around in the sky, she chased after Feng Yu Die, even whistling happily.

"Shh~? Shhh?..."

...

At night, the bamboo forest returned to silence, leaving only the chirping of summer cicadas in his ears.

Ye Anping let out a soft breath as he strolled along the bamboo forest path to the building where he and Xiao Yunluo lived.

The courtyard was deserted, not a soul in sight.

Xiao Yunluo was probably dragged by Mr. Qi to mark the test papers with Elder Wang, and his sister was probably asked by Elder Qin to teach the new disciples.

In the past few months since returning to Black Star Sect, they had lived a leisurely and comfortable life. Sister Bai also came to visit from time to time, played cards, chatted with his sister and Xiao Yunluo, and helped him clean the house.

Just last month, Mr. Liu of the Sword Pavilion officially accepted her as his personal disciple, and then she was locked in the workshop. Now she was probably hammering away and keeping the flames burning in the furnace.

The names of the female sword masters in the four regions could be counted on one hand.

He wondered how far Sister Bai could reach...

With a sigh, Ye Anping went to the utility room, picked up a broom, and swept the fallen leaves in the yard. After that, he returned to his bedroom, lit a lamp, took out a piece of paper, and started writing down names one by one.

Seven Ghost Tomb, Gu Mingxin, Si Xuanji, Yun Tianchong, Yun Yiyi, Yun Jiujiu, Fu Xuan...

Thinking about each of those people's personalities and their possible actions, he wrote them down on paper and then searched for a way out of the situation. However, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

No matter how he thought about it, if he wanted to break through the situation, he needed a Void Returning stage fighter.

If Si Xuanji didn't agree, the only one left was the Demon King.

However, the Demon King did not trust him, nor did he like him.

If it wasn't for his noble character, the Demon King probably wouldn't have protected the ordinary cultivators in Heavenly Gate City when Si Xuanji and Nangong Cheng were fighting.

How about using Si Xuanji's name to scare him?

But to successfully scare him, he had to bring Si Xuanji over...

And if he could bring Si Xuanji to the Central Region, why would he still need to look for the fierce Demon King?

It would be superfluous...

"What to do..."

Thinking and writing.

On the desk, which was not too big to begin with, mounds of wasted papers gradually piled up. The corners of the desk and the chair were covered with large and small paper balls as if he had been reading the "Immortal Palace Erotic Pictures" alone for several hours.

Half of the brand-new ink stick was used up by now.

The silver-white moonlight shone on Ye Anping through the window, adding a bit of color to his face.

Ye Anping was so engrossed that he didn't notice when a woman quietly opened his bedroom door while he was working on his plan.

Creak---

It was only when a thin blanket was placed over his back that Ye Anping came back to his senses and turned to look.

Pei Lianxue saw him raise his head, and she was quite apologetic for a moment as she asked in a low voice, "Brother, did I disturb you?"

Ye Anping relaxed and replied with a doting smile, "No... I was too focused and didn't notice you coming."

Pei Lianxue looked at the paper balls on the floor and nodded slightly before bringing a small stool from the side. She sat next to him and picked up the ink stick. "I won't speak. I'll just help you grind the ink."

"It's so late, why don't you go to rest? Don't you have to continue the sword test for new disciples tomorrow?"

"It's okay. I just came back from Elder Qin. When I passed by here, I saw that your room was still lit so late, so I came."

Ye Anping looked at the moonlight outside the window, and only then realized that so much time had passed. He put the ink pen back on the pen holder.

"How was the sword test today?"

"Well, pretty good..." Pei Lianxue thought for a while and suddenly remembered. "Oh, by the way, Ating came to participate in the selection, and I gave her the sword test."

Ye Anping laughed. "Uh... how is she now?"

"She is in the sect's Clinic, and Hongyu is with her. She is not seriously injured. She just twisted her waist and broke an arm. Elder Qin, who was watching, gave her a high score. She was the only new disciple who lasted three moves in front of me before I sent her flying."

Ye Anping didn't know what expression to make. "Great! Ating is awesome."

"Hehe... Ating has grown up, do you know?" Pei Lianxue raised her palm and compared it up and down before landing on her lips. "So tall! I remember when I first met her in the Dragon House, she only reached up to my chest."

"Sister, you used to be up to my chin too, and now you're still up to my chin."

"We've both grown taller." Pei Lianxue tilted her head, pouting. "Do you like shorter ones? Yunluo and Longling are both quite short, and Yunluo looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl."

Looking at her like this, Ye Anping suddenly felt the passage of time from a young girl turning to a married woman.

The little girl who was once pulled by her sleeve and cried with snot and saliva seemed to be gone forever.

He scratched her nose, saying, "You are more womanly now and much calmer than when you were little."

"Hmm... After experiencing so much with you, it's time to grow up. When will you give me a little Ating?"

"...Let's talk about it after we settle down."

"Hmm..."

Ye Anping let out a breath and looked at the papers on the desk filled with annotations. After a while, he asked, "Sister, let me ask you, if you wanted the Demon King to help you with something he doesn't want to do, how would you convince him?"

"Demon King..." Pei Lianxue lowered her eyes slightly. "Since you want him to do something he doesn't want to do, then you have to... coerce him, coerce and bribe him."

"He is a cultivator in the Void Returning stage, how can he be coerced?"

"Brother, you told me before that all living creatures in the world have weaknesses." Pei Lianxue looked very serious and nodded lightly. "And you told me that story when we were kids."

Ye Anping didn't remember it, and asked in confusion, "Hmm? What story?"

"What should I do if I have an arrow, but then two bad guys come charging at me with swords?"

"Oh..."

Ye Anping recalled telling Pei Lianxue this when he was about four years old. He nodded and continued, "Don't shoot the arrow, but say to the two people: "Whoever doesn't obey will be shot."

"Yes! Hold the emperor hostage to control the princes. We just have to find Hu Mu's 'emperor'."

Ye Anping's eyes widened slightly. He slowly turned and looked back at the name list he had written. His thoughts were all on Si Xuanji, so he didn't notice the name that was not on the list.

If it weren't for Pei Lianxue's words, it might have taken him several hours or even days to realize it.

Holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, and Hu Mu's 'emperor' was...

Ye Anping picked up the ink pen and wrote the name of a fox in one of the few blank spaces on the paper.

---Xue Tianqiao.

As long as he kidnapped Xue Tianqiao and framed the demonic cultivators, Hu Mu would definitely run to the Great Wall in anger to confront them.

Of course, upon his arrival, he would find out that he was used as a pawn and track down the people who took Xue Tianqiao away.

But as long as Xue Tianqiao was safe and sound, Hu Mu would not do anything to him. At most, he would curse at him.

Ye Anping let out a sigh of relief, and his frown relaxed.

After he roughly thought about it and confirmed that it was feasible, he turned around and pinched Pei Lianxue's face, praising her. "Sister, I owe you."

"Did I help?"

"Yes."

Pei Lianxue's clear eyes lit up as she smiled shyly. She looked away and said in a low voice, "Then... can I ask for a reward?"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Dual cultivation..." Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, gently tugging Ye Anping's sleeve. "The last time was ten days ago..."

"..."

Pei Lianxue braced herself and brought her lips to Ye Anping's ear with a blush. "Brother, come and eat me."

?

"Ehh~~" Ye Anping got goosebumps all over his back, and he shuddered. He looked at her in disbelief. "Sister, who taught you this..."

Pei Lianxue thought she had done something wrong. Her head drooped like a little rabbit, and she answered in a small voice, "Yunluo taught me. She said that this will get you aroused."

"..."

Xiao Yunluo, ah, Xiao Yunluo... What the hell are you teaching my sister?

Ye Anping hesitated, then stood up, suddenly hugged Pei Lianxue's waist, and picked her up before walking toward the bed.

"Hey?"

"You are so tempting, I can't help it."

"Heh... hee hee..."

"Still laughing. See how I'll teach you a lesson..."

"Hehe..."

Looking at Pei Lianxue lying in front of him, Ye Anping smiled, then moved his hand to pull down the curtain and started to teach his sister a lesson...

...

The moon in the sky slowly swept across a sharp angle.

The cicadas in the night were tired and went to sleep.

A flying sword with purple light slowly came from the direction of the Middle Peak through the clouds. Xiao Yunluo landed in the courtyard with a tired face. She turned her head to look at Ye Anping's bedroom and, seeing that the lights were off, she reluctantly walked toward her bedroom.

But after taking a few steps, she stopped again: "No, I need to make up for it... I've been busy with the selection of candidates these days, and Mr. Qi went fishing by himself, leaving all the papers to me and Elder Wang..."

Finding a reason to convince herself, Xiao Yunluo turned around and walked toward Ye Anping's bedroom. She opened the door with a creak and unbuckled her belt while walking toward the bed covered by the curtain.

"Anping~ are you asleep?"

It was only when she reached the bedside that she noticed that Pei Lianxue's embroidered shoes lay crookedly next to Ye Anping's boots.

"..."

She slightly parted the curtains and saw Lianxue had fallen asleep with Ye Anping in her arms. For a moment, she felt a little awkward. Seeing that the quilt had reached their stomachs, she covered them again.

Then, she noticed a large pile of paper balls around the desk and thought that Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue had played some new tricks, so she walked over and leaned over to look at the contents on the desk...

"Hmm... Eastern Great Wall..."

She carefully picked it up and looked at it under the moonlight. When she noticed the name "Si Xuanji" on it, she turned to look at Ye Anping in surprise.

"Why did my mother tell him her surname..."

After hesitating for a while, she felt that there shouldn't be a problem, so she carefully read Ye Anping's roughly written plan...
