Chapter 45 - Open-Minded Sister Bai

Ye Anping couldn't figure it out.

He did Bai Yuexin's "mission" solely for the 20% discount coupon.

Logically speaking, if Bai Yuexin came out of her depression, the task should have been completed, but why didn't the "coupon" come, and instead she became dependent on him?

Could it be that the rewards for quests in the game, set by the game producer, were not the same in the real world?

Ye Anping was a little helpless: if there was no 20% discount coupon, the amount of items and herbs he would buy later would be reduced by a fifth.

Standing at the window, he looked through a gap in the paper at Bai Yuexin who was busy cleaning the yard, and sighed. He then returned to his bed, adjusted his breathing, and began to meditate, refining the excess yang energy into spiritual energy and then expelling it from his body.

In the game, Yang River Sect's meditation method, paired with the Nine Elements of Heart secret technique and the Interrogation Sword technique, was one of the best solutions calculated by those experts in strategy.

The combination was accessible, and the cultivation progress was fast. It was easy for players to develop considerable combat power in the early stages, and it was also easy to switch to other methods in the mid-to-late stages. They didn't need decades of work if they limited the cultivation to a small scope.

That was why Ye Anping had initially chosen this combination for himself.

But now it seemed he had made the wrong choice.

This combination of techniques had side effects that were not in the game.

But Ye Anping could understand why the game didn't have this side effect.

"Heavenly Sword Fantasy" was a game fit for all ages.

And this side effect required a "debuff" only found in R18 games.

In terms of body sensation, Ye Anping didn't think it was a big problem. He could solve the accumulation of yang energy by adjusting his breathing and condensing it, but this was probably because his current cultivation base was still low.

Thinking of this, Ye Anping couldn't help but feel annoyed. Did this mean he had to find a cultivation partner now?

But Miss Xiyue was in the Cold Sky Country now. Cold Sky Country was a mid-to-late stage map, won't he court death by going there?!

Was there no other way but to make use of a woman?

There were also other things with extreme yin energy...

How about a spirit cat or a spirit fox or something? But spirit pets were ridiculously expensive, he couldn't afford to keep them even if he bought them...

Or could he go to a graveyard to find some female ghosts and chat with them? But if he was cursed or possessed, it would be more troublesome...

In the end, all he could think of was his sister. His sister's single water extreme spirit root was, in other words, an "extreme yin body".

As long as he hugged his sister to sleep every day, all the yang energy would be neutralized by her physique.

But...

"I don't know if sister is willing to be hugged by me to sleep every day... Never mind, there is no hurry anyway. I'll think about it once I reach the Foundation Building stage."

Ye Anping put this matter aside for the time being and returned to the Seven Slayers Sect affair.

It was time to meet with Feng Yu Die and discuss this with her.

With Bai Yuexin's confirmation, Ye Anping was completely relieved. He shrugged and replied, "Well, it has nothing to do with me."

"It doesn't matter. You have to be careful these days. What if there are still people from the Seven Slayers Sect hiding in the marketplace? Those are all bad people who would do anything for money! Those villains specialize in catching children!"

"Sister Bai, you don't have to talk to me like I'm a child."

"Okay, okay, obviously you're not very old, this old-fashioned look is not cute at all. Shouldn't a kid your age pounce on an elder sister like me and act cute?

Bai Yuexin looked at him and sighed, but then smiled and opened her arms.

"Come here... Sister's arms are always open for you. If it's too dark at night and you can't sleep, tell Sister, and Sister will accompany you."

Speechlessly, Ye Anping took another mouthful of porridge and asked tentatively, "Can Sister do me a favor?"

"Oh? Tell me! What favor?"

"Could you take a message from me to a disciple of the Black Star Sect?"

"What message?"

"I'm inviting her to dinner. I hope she'll come to see me one of these days when she's free."

"Um..."

Bai Yuexin pondered for a while and suddenly remembered that Ye Anping had said earlier that he had someone he liked.

Could it be that the person he liked was that particular Black Star Sect disciple?

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, in the end she agreed. Anyway, Ye Anping said that he was treating her to dinner, which meant they hadn't developed a relationship yet...

Bai Yuexin nodded and asked curiously, "So, who is it?"

"Feng Yu Die."

Hearing this name, the smile on Bai Yuexin's face froze instantly.

"... You know each other?"

"Well, we don't know each other. I just want to meet her and expand the business of my physiotherapy center."

"The business?"

Ye Anping nodded and said, "Yes, I want to ask her to help me promote my physiotherapy center. 'The Qi Refining disciple who won the sword test against the Foundation-Building stage instructor tried it and said it was good!' Or something like that?"

Bai Yuexin frowned and reprimanded. ''You little villain! Are you trying to get your big sister angry? Do you believe that I will spank your ass?!"

"Don't worry, I'll help you teach her a lesson then."

"Alright, I'll talk to her for you. But don't use this as publicity, or I'll skin you alive!"

"I was just joking. Sister Bai, don't be so narrow-minded."

Bai Yuexin looked at him with resentment, but then let out a sigh. "If you lose, you lose. I thought about it for a long time. I don't want to compare with her, hmph~"
