Chapter 78 - Sister, Be Steady!
Chapter 78 - Sister, Be Steady!
The morning sun fell in the courtyard, illuminating the paper windows, and the sweet chirping of the lark entered the house, accompanied by the sound of a door being opened.
Squeak---
Dum-dum---
"Anping? Why did you go to bed wearing an undershirt?"
A hand gently pushed Ye Anping's shoulder to wake him up from his deep sleep.
Ye Anping frowned and opened his eyes to see the woman who was pushing him.
"Sister?"
"Hey, Anping." Bai Yuexin was crouched next to the bed and asked, "It's almost a quarter to nine, so why are you still sleeping? Don't you usually get up very early?"
Ye Anping sat up in a daze and took a while before recalling what happened last night.
Didn't he hug his sister to sleep last night?
What... where was she?
His brain was still a little sluggish, but he recovered after a while and asked. "Are there customers?"
"The class is over. I made tea and asked them to wait in the main hall." Bai Yuexin looked at his dazed look and said, "Looking at you, did you practice with the sword all night? Why don't you rest? I'll talk to them."
"No, it's fine. I'll change my clothes and go see them."
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"I'm fine."
Bai Yuexin was worried, but seeing that Ye Anping looked quite well, she nodded and went to accompany the disciples she brought for physiotherapy.
Why did his sister leave without even saying hello...
Ye Anping was a little confused, but he didn't think too much of it. He got up, washed quickly, changed his clothes, and began to receive customers.
After making the leap from the fifth level to perfecting the Qi Refining stage, both his mind clarity and physical strength have increased several times.
Normally, he would be exhausted after treating up to thirty clients, but today, he worked continuously from getting up until noon and was still relaxed.
After seeing off the last guest, Ye Anping sat on the recliner in the lobby, resting as he thought about his cultivation enhancement.
"System?"
"Open menu?"
"Hello?"
"Mommy, mommy?"
Ye Anping tried several times to recall the most popular catchwords in the novels of his previous life.
However, just like when he first traveled through time, nothing strange appeared in his field of vision.
Ye Anping was very sure that his cultivation level must have improved so drastically because of the golden finger*. It could be a certain type of constitution, or it could be some kind of luck.
Last night, he speculated that it had something to do with "completing quests", but currently, there was no way to do an experiment to confirm this.
It was indeed a good thing to have such a golden finger that could boost his cultivation, but now, due to his excessive yang energy, he had become a ticking time bomb with an unknown timer.
He had to admit that this time, it was his luck that he happened to ask Feng Yu Die to call his sister over, and his sister was also smart enough to know to suppress his yang excess with her own energy before he even said anything.
But if this golden finger was triggered again in the future when his sister was not around, it would be troublesome.
He couldn't possibly stay with her all the time, right?
Just as Ye Anping was thinking about the solution, Pei Lianxue's soft voice came from outside.
"Brother."
Ye Anping didn't notice last night, but now he realized that Pei Lianxue wore the clothes of a Black Star Sect inner disciple, and he just stared at her for a while.
He didn't know if it was because of the clothes or something else, but now he felt that Pei Lianxue looked more stable and mature than before.
This was a very strange feeling...
In the past, when he looked at his little sister, he honestly felt that she was really cute, but now that she looked a little more mature, it was hard for him to take his eyes off her face.
"Um..."
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me without saying anything?" Pei Lianxue walked over and sat next to him.
"No, I just think... you look better than before."
"Oh... well..."
Pei Lianxue blushed and nodded, and after taking a deep breath, she said, "Brother, yesterday you asked that second... I mean, Feng Yu Die to tell me to come to you after sunset. When I came, I found you lying in the backyard, so I brought you to your bed, and after I used my spiritual energy to remove the impurities in your body, I left immediately."
She left immediately?
Ye Anping was confused.
He remembered that when he woke up just before dawn, she was still sleeping in his arms.
---Didn't you hug me to sleep all night? Is it because you are shy that you found a lie like this?
Pei Lianxue actually lied to him.
At this time, Pei Lianxue asked directly, "Brother, what's the problem with that irregular energy in your meridians? Will it happen again in the future?"
"The reason for what happened was that excess yang turned toxic and I got poisoned. If I had been prepared in advance, I would not have fainted like that."
"Oh..."
Hearing this, Pei Lianxue felt a little disappointed. Although it wasn't a good idea to think that way, she actually wanted her brother to faint a few more times so that she could go to the 'bridal chamber' with him again. Maybe in the future, there will be a baby...
The elder sisters of the Hundred Lotus Sect said that if a man and a woman went to the 'bridal chamber' a few times, the woman could become pregnant and have a child.
She had already been with her brother last night.
If there was a second and a third time...
However, she was still a couple of months away from reaching adulthood.
What if she got pregnant with her brother's child before that?
"..."
Seeing this contemplative look of hers, Ye Anping was slightly puzzled and gently tapped the tip of her nose. "What's going on in your little head right now?"
"Ah?! It's nothing... I was just thinking about your situation."
"Speaking of this, I have something to ask you." Ye Anping gently held her hand, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "From now on, come to my place to sleep every two days, okay?"
"..."
"..."
"Ah?!" Pei Lianxue was stunned, and the hair on her head suddenly stood up straight. "Come to sleep here?"
"Well, I will sleep with you in my arms." Ye Anping nodded and quickly explained. "Although you are not yet an adult, I really have no better way. Your energy can neutralize the yang poison in my body. Until I find a better way, I can only rely on you."
"Ah..." Pei Lianxue slowly lowered her head, pretending to be as calm as possible, and said, "Well, if that's the case, it doesn't matter to me."
Although her answer was extremely bland, Pei Lianxue was actually going crazy with joy. She was so excited that she wanted to go back to Black Star Sect right now and chop down all the bamboos on the Heavenly Cloud Peak.
Steady! Pei Lianxue, be steady!
Seeing that she agreed directly, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief. He gently caressed her head and said, "These clothes suit you very well. You look a lot more mature."
"Ah... um."
"Go inside, I'll give you a foot massage."
