The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 71 - The Heroine Wants To Become Stronger

After Ye Anping had enjoyed a few days of attentive treatment in the Black Star Sect's medical clinic, he finally returned to his physiotherapy center in the marketplace.

At first, he thought that Si Xuanji would come to him while he was in the clinic, but that Old Loli woman seemed to want to keep the suspense. She only sent the parrot over and never showed up in front of him.

As he remembered, the Heavenly Vault Spring Return Pavilion's annual winter sale would begin soon, and at that time, he was going to take Pei Lianxue there for shopping. Therefore, taking advantage of this period of time to save up some more money was the right thing to do.

So, he stopped thinking about Si Xuanji for the time being and hurried to reopen the shop for business.

Maybe it was because Bai Yuexin spread the news about disciple Xu achieving a breakthrough, but on his first day back, as soon as he opened, a lot of cultivators arrived at the physiotherapy center.

"Young Master Ye, I haven't come to your physiotherapy for the past few days, and I can't even condense my energy smoothly."

"Brother, you're joking, how can my physiotherapy skills be so miraculous?"

"But it really is quite effective, even more so than the Spirit Gathering pill."

Another female disciple also came forward, asking him. "By the way, are you okay? I heard you were bandaged up like a mummy by Dr. Zhou. Did your wounds heal? If not, I still have some healing pills here."

"No need, no need..."

...

This group of people was now considered acquaintances. Ever since he opened the shop, almost every disciple who came in said a few polite words to him and also brought some small gifts.

There were homemade cakes, medium and low-grade pills, and other stuff like that...

Although they were not expensive, he still accepted them.

However, there really were too many people today, and he couldn't sit down to rest all morning.

It was during lunchtime that Ye Anping finally had a chance to catch his breath.

"Hoo-"

Ye Anping stretched his neck and then lay on the lounge chair in the lobby, preparing to take a nap or rest with his eyes closed.

As a result, as soon as he closed his eyes, the noise of one person and one bird cursing each other came from the back room.

"Silly ninny! Silly ninny!!!"

"Who are you talking about?! You idiot bird!! Do you believe me or not... I'll take you down!! If you have the guts, don't stand on the beam!!"

"Take me down!! Take me down!!"

...

Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose, stood up with a sigh, and went into the back room.

Just as he opened the door, a feather duster shot straight toward his forehead like an arrow.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and ducked in time.

Otherwise, he would have a bump growing on his forehead.

"Sister..."

"Ah~ Anping." Bai Yuexin instantly behaved herself. She came forward with a silly smile on her face and apologized. "Sorry! This bird just kept pricking me and annoyed me as hell."

"Silly girl!! Silly girl!!"

Perched on the beam, the parrot watched Ye Anping enter and cursed twice more before spreading its wings. It landed on his shoulder and then rubbed its crest against his face.

Feeling helpless, Ye Anping glanced at it and reprimanded it. "You too, don't mess with Sister Bai."

"Congratulations on your fortune!! Congratulations on your fortune!!"

"..."

With that, he looked at Bai Yuexin and said, "And you, why are you arguing with a parrot?"

"It's not like that..." Bai Yuexin felt aggrieved.

On that day, Bai Yuexin caught the parrot, brought it over, and scolded it a few times before going back to her morning class. During class, Mr. Qi suddenly called her name and arranged for her to clean the aviary for five days.

Ye Anping didn't need to think about it to know that this was probably caused by her words, "What kind of incompetent disciple raised this damn thing and taught it to curse?"

Although Bai Yuexin did not know that this was Si Xuanji's pet, when she came back, she blamed the parrot for her assignment to clean the aviary.

Now, they were at odds and scolded each other whenever they met.

Ye Anping shrugged helplessly and walked to the table. He saw that it was covered with spirit stones of various sizes and asked, "How was the profit today?"

"It's good." Bai Yuexin quickly came to her senses, took out the account book, made some calculations, and said, "There were thirty guests this morning, and a total of nearly two thousand spirit stones were recorded in the ledger."

"What about after deducting rent, medicinal herbs costs, and taxes?"

Snap-snap-snap.

Bai Yuexin calculated on an abacus and said, "It's more than five hundred."

"Good."

A daily income of over 500 spirit stones was actually quite considerable for an ordinary shop, and this was just the income from one morning.

However, after this one morning, Ye Anping was exhausted.

Physiotherapy involved an extremely delicate manipulation of spiritual energy as if inserting needle and thread into the meridians. Although he didn't go too deep with ordinary customers, he still needed to explore the customer's meridians and control his aura, and these two things were extremely energy-consuming.

If an average cultivator did this, they would run out of energy within half an hour.

Seeing the fatigue on Ye Anping's face, Bai Yuexin asked, "Anping, are you tired?"

"To be honest, a little bit." Ye Anping exhaled heavily and said, "Let's do this. Help me put a sign at the door later saying that I can only receive thirty guests a day. I can't go on like this anymore."

"I told you to teach me. I can share the burden with you."

Ye Anping thought for a while and said, "Then, go buy some live chickens later to practice, and if they die, we will eat roast chicken tonight."

"Okay!!" Bai Yuexin nodded in agreement.

Ye Anping then placed the parrot sitting on his shoulder back on the bird stand and turned around, preparing to go and take a nap.

But just as he came out of the back room, he suddenly saw a suspicious person appear in the lobby.

The man's facial features were very asymmetrical.

One eye was large and one small, the nose was thirty degrees askew, and there was a pair of flaming red lips.

It looked like a Picasso piece of art.

Ye Anping looked at the man for two breaths and realized that it was probably some kind of face-changing magic mask. He quickly expanded his spiritual sense and scanned the man warily.

The next moment, his frowning eyebrows relaxed, and he called out. "Sister Xiao?"

"Ah?!" Xiao Yunluo was stunned, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes. She touched her face and asked, "Young Master Ye, how did you know it was me?"

"..."

With a sigh, Ye Anping walked up to her, reached out, and gently twisted her nose.

Click---

The nose, which was originally crooked at 30 degrees, was straightened.

"Sister Xiao, now you look like a human being."

"..."

Xiao Yunluo touched her nose, looking embarrassed. Finally, she reached out and tore off her mask, revealing her original beautiful face.

She looked at Ye Anping and whispered. "Young Master Ye, can you not tell Lianxue that I secretly came to find you?"

"What happened? Did you quarrel with my sister?"

"No, no!! There was no quarrel." Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, don't tell her. She will definitely be angry with me if you do. I just want to ask you some questions, if possible..."

Ye Anping mulled it over and roughly guessed her intentions.

In the game, after Feng Yu Die gained her trust, she started following her to practice together.

Now that his sister was the one to gain her trust, Xiao Yunluo definitely wanted to practice with her.

However, his sister could practice but not teach.

To be precise, her brain was not stupid, but her mouth was. She couldn't put what she understood into words and tell others.

Now that he chose to contact Si Xuanji, he was the only one who could do this since his sister had nothing to do with it.

Ye Anping nodded and motioned. "Let's go inside and talk."

"Oh, alright."
