The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

The shouts of the shop assistants on the street outside came into the room through the half-opened window.

Si Xuanji closed her eyes tightly and immersed herself in the bathtub covered with petals. She leaned on the side, her little head resting against the bathtub edge, with an unusually relaxed expression.

Behind her, Ye Anping was sitting on a small bench, wearing a thin and simple shirt. Although his whole body was extremely sore, he endured and applied the balm on her soft black-and-white strands of hair, massaging with his fingers.

Si Xuanji\'s back gave him a feeling of a weak and helpless maid, which made him feel itchy.

Thinking back to the two and a half years when he formed his core and had a conversation with \'Immortal Tianji\' every twelve days, he had the urge to expose Si Xuanji\'s identity.

However, Si Xuanji\'s pettiness was well-known to everyone.

If he exposed her, she would definitely think that he had been teasing her all these years.

With her temperament, it might not be as simple as not being able to get out of bed...

Ye Anping was silent for a while, then spoke softly, "Miss Xuanji, actually, after I formed the core, I wanted to ask you about something but I was in a hurry to go to the Northern Region, so I didn\'t come to you."

"Yes, what is it?"

"Well, have you ever heard of a cultivator known as \'Master Tianji\'?"

?

Si Xuanji\'s expression stiffened. After a while, she pretended to recall and shook her head slightly.

"I might have heard something. What\'s the deal with it?"

Ye Anping pretended to be a little regretful and sighed.

"See, Master Tianji took care of me when during my Core Formation. I would have died in the heavenly lightning tribulation if she hadn\'t been there. Therefore, since I transcended the tribulation, I have always wanted to see her and thank her in person."

Si Xuanji feigned ignorance and continued to ask. "So... is it a girl?"

"Yes."

"You have so many girls around you, and you are still not satisfied? My sister and your sister plus the Lady of the Dragon House, isn\'t that enough?"

"Miss Xuanji, don\'t tease me..." Ye Anping smiled helplessly. "I just want to thank her in person. Master Tianji has done me a favor, and I naturally need to repay her kindness."

Si Xuanji smiled with her cat lips and felt like laughing for some reason. She reached out and pinched his face, complaining as if she was throwing a tantrum.

"We just practiced dual cultivation together, but now that you\'ve put on your pants, you\'re already mentioning other women to me. Young Master Ye is really a playboy. Could it be that when Young Master Ye went to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, he was possessed by the Sword Sect Master?"

Weren\'t you that other woman?!

Ye Anping pursed his lips awkwardly and apologized quickly. "Ah... my bad. Please don\'t take it to heart, Miss Xuanji."

"Hmph~"

Si Xuanji smiled as she leaned back on the edge of the bathtub. After a while, she asked, "What does... that Master Tianji look like?"

Ye Anping looked at the back of Si Xuanji\'s head with a smile and answered bluntly. "She has something of a knight from the ordinary world, like a hero in a book."

Si Xuanji nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm... what else?"

"She was straightforward but gentle... She had a sense of aloofness, looking at the world with arrogance, and she was not the kind of woman with tender feelings.

"Hmm..."

Si Xuanji was very happy. She loved it when people praised her aliases.

Every time she heard someone praise her fake identity, she would have a feeling of chivalry, like a knight who "did his duty and left, not expecting to receive merits and fame".

When she was young, she dreamed of being a hero, but then, at a young age, she happened to enter the Immortal path, and her dream of being a hero ended.

Meanwhile, Ye Anping glanced at Si Xuanji\'s flat chest and continued. "As for her appearance, she must be a mature woman, tall as a seedling, with breasts like the full moon. She should be very beautiful."

?

The smile on Si Xuanji\'s face froze, and she had the urge to pull Ye Anping\'s mouth, but in the end, she held back.

If she got angry, wouldn\'t that expose her?

"In that case... I\'ll ask around for you."

Ye Anping had wanted to provoke her. If she got angry, then naturally, he could continue asking, "Why is Miss Xuanji angry? Could it be that you are the real Tianji?"

Unfortunately, Si Xuanji didn\'t take the bait...

He stopped talking, and after washing Si Xuanji\'s hair, he moved his stool and washed his hands with Xuanji soup. Then, he picked up a soft cloth and dipped it into the water to help her wash her body.

The sound of splashing water echoed in the room.

Ye Anping helped her wipe her body, but at the same time, he diverted a part of his attention and sent his spiritual sense into his meridians to investigate.

There was no yang excess left in the meridians, and even some kidney yang was lost...

As expected, his cultivation had increased a lot, but now it was stuck in a small bottleneck in the middle stage of the Core Formation. He needed to take some time to settle down and make a breakthrough.

The increase in his cultivation level was undoubtedly a good thing.

But Ye Anping was thinking about his \'family\'s rice bowls\' at the moment.

With this cultivation pace, he could indeed become stronger, but his spiritual root determined some of his upper limits.

Even with the same cultivation level and in similar conditions, he would definitely not be as good as Feng Yu Die and his sister.

If he could decide who to give the \'golden finger\' to... who would that be?

His sister and Xiao Yunluo could get benefits through dual cultivation, but what about Feng Yu Die?

Feng Yu Die\'s qualifications were indeed heaven-defying, and her cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary heavenly spiritual root cultivators, but his golden finger was obviously hindering her progress.

Thus, Feng Yu Die\'s cultivation speed was much slower than in the game.

In this case, the gap between her and Gu Mingxin would widen more and more.

Could it be that the only way to increase her cultivation was to practice dual cultivation with her?

In Ye Anping\'s mind, suddenly popped a very controversial scene: ---Behind the light yellow curtain, he and Feng Yu Die embraced each other naked. She lay motionless on the bed, and while he was doing his work, she kept urging him, "Young Master Ye, finish quickly. I have to go play with Sister Pei later."

...

Thinking of this scene, Ye Anping\'s face darkened, but then he suddenly remembered the bell attached to Gu Mingxin. He looked at Si Xuanji, who was squinting and enjoying her belly rub. "Miss Xuanji..."

"Yes."

"In the Northern Region, I met a demonic cultivator named Gu Mingxin. She also had a Star Returning Bell like the one Sister Qiu gave me. Do you know about this?"

Si Xuanji half-opened her right eye and smiled. "The Star Returning Bell belongs to my mother, but I don\'t know who she gave it to. I only know that my sister and I each have one."

Ye Anping fell silent and nodded.

Seeing the uneasiness in his expression, Si Xuanji tried to comfort him. "My sister told me before that you set up a trap to kill that girl in the Imperial Sect, but in the end, she escaped. It\'s pretty difficult to deal with her, right?"

"It is..."

"Well, then it\'s a good thing that if you meet her in the future, you can know that she is there in advance and make preparations."

"Hmm..."

Seeing Si Xuanji smiling at him, Ye Anping felt a little relieved. He said nothing more and looked down at the body swaying in the water. "Uh... Miss Xuanji, why don\'t you do the rest yourself?"

Si Xuanji sweetly replied, "I don\'t have the strength."

Ye Anping smiled helplessly and could only dip the handkerchief into the water. He reached out and rubbed it gently...

...

At dusk, the evening bell had already rung. The disciples who were practicing swords on the martial arts stage and the disciples of the Academy, all packed up their things and flew toward their residences.

After Ye Anping helped Si Xuanji take a bath and change her clothes, he dragged his tired body and carried her to Moon Spring Peak on his flying sword.

After handing Si Xuanji back to Qiu Shuirou in the bamboo forest cave-dwelling, he cupped his hands and bid farewell, ready to return to his and Xiao Yunluo\'s courtyard to recuperate.

The sun had already set by the time he arrived in front of his courtyard on the hillside of Heavenly Cloud Peak.

As soon as he landed, two Foundation Building disciples of the Black Star Sect, a man and a woman, who had just returned from the martial platform and were passing by, hurried forward to salute him.

"Hello, Senior Brother!"

Ye Anping was still a little confused, and after taking a quick look, he realized that these people were disciples who entered the sect at the same time as his sister and Feng Yu Die, and their original selection ranking was right behind Lianxue and the others.

However, their cultivation had only reached the middle stage of the Foundation Building.

He froze for a moment, then cupped his hands and smiled. "In terms of seniority, I should address you as Senior Brother and Senior Sister. I am Ye Anping, Young Miss Xiao\'s companion."

"Ah..."

The two were stunned in place when they heard this.

Ye Anping smiled at them and, without saying anything else, walked past them, down the path filled with stone lamps, toward Xiao Yunluo\'s house.

The two waited for him to walk away, then immediately started to discuss. "Sister, so the rumors are true. Did the Hundred Lotus Sect Young Master really form a Heavenly Dao Golden Core with his dual spiritual roots? When I heard about it a year ago, I thought he was bragging."

"Hmm... and he\'s just like the rumors said. He\'s handsome and polite, and he\'s also the Young Master of a sect. He\'s young but his cultivation level is so high..."

"Ah? This, this, this... Sister, this person shows one thing in front and something else behind. Who knows what he is really like? Maybe it\'s like the Moon Shadow Sword Sect\'s Master... If you\'re looking for a partner, you\'ll have to find someone more considerate, like me..."

"Brother, it\'s not good to speak ill of someone behind their back. Besides, he\'s our Senior now..."

...

Listening to the idle chatter of the two disciples behind him, Ye Anping felt like laughing.

To be honest, six years ago, he would never have thought that one day, a cannon fodder like him would be able to put on such a show.

Swish-swish---

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Ye Anping finally arrived at the courtyard\'s gate.

Just as he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, he heard Xiao Yunluo and his sister chatting in the courtyard.

"Lianxue, aren\'t you worried? What if Anping follows Sister Li to the Dragon House... then what should we do?"

"Eh? What should we do?"

"That\'s right. Look at how powerful Ye Anping is. Sister Li is so frail. How could she bear his roughness? Last time in the Commander\'s Mansion, we were both weak in the knees..."

"Well, Brother knows his limits."

"Ah... then you don\'t like it?"

"Yes, I do but... Yunluo, have you been thinking about him for the past few days? No wonder you\'ve been acting like a fool in class. You were even scolded by Mr. Qi a few times."

"Ah? I didn\'t... I just..."

"Yunluo, we have to train well. Only by increasing our cultivation level can we protect our brother in the future. He was so badly injured this time. If we were stronger, would this have happened?"

...

Ye Anping\'s hand stopped half an inch away from the door, his heart filled with emotions.

Xiao Yunluo, this naughty girl, always wanted to lead his sister astray.

His sister was a dedicated cultivator, how could she be misled by something like "Immortal Palace Erotic Pictures"?

Unfortunately, Xiao Yunluo\'s head was full of this nonsense all day long, which was a problem.

Let\'s give her a good lecture later...

With this thought in mind, Ye Anping reached out to open the door and enter.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Turning his head to look, he was poked in the cheek by an index finger.

"Hehehe, Young Master Ye~~You\'re back..."

Feng Yu Die, who had appeared behind him at some point, stared at him with a silly grin, making Ye Anping feel embarrassed.

But after thinking for a while, he signaled Feng Yu Die with his eyes: Let\'s go to the nearby forest, I have something to talk to you about, and then turned and walked toward the bamboo forest next to the compound.

Feng Yu Die blinked, confused, but still followed him.

The two of them walked along the path into the night before coming to an open space in front of the pavilion deep in the bamboo forest.

"Young Master Ye, what is it?"

Ye Anping walked ten steps forward, turned around, took out two wooden swords from the storage bag, and threw one over.

The wooden sword spun and stuck a foot into the mud in front of Feng Yu Die\'s embroidered shoes.

"Teach me the Nine Heavens Sword technique."

"..."

Feng Yu Die was stunned for a moment, looked down at the sword, and her lips slowly turned into cat lips. She hugged her chest, saying in a bratty tone, "Beg me~~ Humph~"

Ye Anping replied blankly, "Heh... one roasted chicken every day."

"Hmm..." Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes. She pondered for a while before adding in a small voice, "And you let me kiss Sister Pei two times?"

"Then, forget it."

Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her and turned around to go back.

Seeing him like this, Feng Yu Die puffed up her cheeks and cursed. "Tsk~ how petty, you\'ve kissed her so many times, what if I kiss her twice... Or you can kiss her first, and then kiss me."

Ye Anping glanced at her and quickened his pace.

Then Feng Yu Die stepped forward and held him back. "Hey, okay, okay. I\'ll teach you. One roasted chicken a day. I want you to roast it yourself. Make it delicious."

Ye Anping\'s lips curled up slightly. "Deal."

Feng Yu Die walked back, picked up the wooden sword stuck in the ground, and with a flourish, put it behind her back.

Then, her expression changed, and she said seriously, "But Young Master Ye, I can\'t guarantee that you\'ll learn it. It\'s very difficult."

Ye Anping already had a mental expectation that he might not be able to learn it, but he had nothing better to do anyway.

What\'s more, if he and Feng Yu Die were to practice the sword together, they would be able to cooperate better if they needed to deal with Gu Mingxin at some point.

"Let\'s try... if I can\'t learn it, then that\'s it."

"Then, be careful~ I won\'t show mercy."

Feng Yu Die took a deep breath, and her eyes focused. She then stepped forward and waved her sword to sweep away the bamboo leaves on the ground. Under the bamboo forest in the night, she turned into a silver shadow, attacking Ye Anping.

Ye Anping\'s eyes were determined as he swung the wooden sword, meeting the attack with his Interrogation Sword technique.

Ta---

Ta Ta--

The sound of wooden swords colliding echoed through the forest...
