Chapter 327 - Brother Just Wants To Do The Laundry

As the day dawned, the golden bird spread its wings, circling in the early morning sky above Heavenly Gate City before swooping down into the window of the second floor of an inn in the Western District, coming to rest on the youngster's shoulder.

Ye Anping looked at it, thinking that it was most likely sent over by Si Xuanji to check on the situation. He took out some jerky from his storage pouch and fed it before continuing to scrub the clothes and pants that he had just changed out of with water.

Woosh Woosh Woosh---

The soft sound of water splashing echoed in the room.

Xiao Yunluo, who was still asleep, woke up leisurely as the sound of washing clothes came to her ears. Opening her eyes, she looked at the ceiling, a bit confused.

She turned her head, and when she saw Ye Anping squatting in front of a wooden basin by the window, washing clothes, the events of last night surfaced in her mind.

Under the quilt, her small hands tried to squeeze into fists.

"Oh~~"

So sore...

Her wrist was so sore that she couldn't even clench her fist tightly...

Xiao Yunluo quickly covered her mouth, but then she sniffed a peculiar odor on her palm and froze.

Ye Anping, who was washing his clothes, turned his head when he heard the sound and saw Xiao Yunluo lying on her side on the bed, covering her mouth with her hands. He thought she wanted to smell it on purpose, and suddenly he had some mixed feelings in his heart.

He averted his eyes, and after a while, he spoke. "Sister Xiao?"

Xiao Yunluo's cheeks flushed with shyness, and she quickly moved her little hand away from her nose with a look of embarrassment. However, after taking a deep breath, she forced herself to suppress her shyness.

"Ah... um." Xiao Yunluo nodded, got off the bed, and whispered, "Ye Anping, your yang energy... are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"Good." Xiao Yunluo put on her embroidered shoes, then stood up. She thought about it before saying, "I was afraid that something would happen to you last night, so I helped you as a last resort..."

"Yeah, I know. Thank you."

Ye Anping answered calmly, but he couldn't help but reminisce in his heart.

As expected of Xiao Yunluo, who had read thousands of those books, she was a bit awkward at first, but soon she got the hang of it and got better...

"Sister Xiao, come and wash your hands first, then change your clothes. I just washed them for you. Do you have any spare clothes?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo was stunned. She looked down at the Black Star Sect uniform she wore, then turned to look at the quilt with some embarrassment. She quickly walked forward, washed her hands with the water Ye Anping poured for washing the clothes, and touched her storage bag.

"I didn't bring any other clothes... they were all left in the Seven Fragrance Pavilion in the east of the city."

"..."

Ye Anping silently sized up Xiao Yunluo before standing up. He shook off the water droplets on his hands and, with his sword finger, took out a plain dress that looked like something a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl would wear from his storage bag.

"Try this one. It should fit you nicely."

Looking at the dress Ye Anping handed over, Xiao Yunluo paused.

"Whose dress is this?"

"It's the dress my sister used to wear."

"Aren't you buying her new clothes?"

"Every time I bought her new clothes, she was reluctant to wear them. She basically only wore this one, and if it was torn, she just mended it. In the end, she changed it when she couldn't wear it anymore, so I kept it as a souvenir."

"..."

Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, feeling somewhat bad, but she still wanted to take it.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

---Ye Anping gave me Pei Lianxue's clothes. Is that implying that he already treats me the same as her?

She tucked her hair behind her ear, then took the clothes and said shyly, "I'm changing now. You... you're not allowed to peek..."

"...It's not like I haven't seen you before."

"You're still not allowed to look!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Ye Anping slightly shrugged, shook his head, and then squatted back down to scrub the clothes.

What do you mean, it's not like you haven't seen it before... Xiao Yunluo puffed up her cheeks, and when she saw the parrot standing on Ye Anping's shoulder still staring at her, she suddenly frowned. "Parrot, you too!"

The parrot was taken aback, then turned its head and said, "There's nothing to see!! There's nothing to see!!"

?

Xiao Yunluo lowered her head to look down, and seeing that she could see her feet unobstructed, her face suddenly darkened. Although those words were very irritating, they seemed to be true. She was just like her mother...

However, she still hoped that Ye Anping would secretly peek at her changing her clothes, so she simply stood three feet behind him and started to undress.

"Then, you won't be able to wear the new clothes I bought you anymore."

"He heh heh..."

Ye Anping stepped forward and knocked on her forehead. "There should be nothing going on these days. You can go with Sister Xiao for a walk in the city. I didn't sleep much last night, and I need to take a rest. I'm going to the Justice Division Office later."

"Okay."

Pei Lianxue nodded and looked at Xiao Yunluo, asking, "Yunluo, how are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xiao Yunluo avoided Pei Lianxue's gaze. "I'm pretty good, just my hands are a little... sore."

She said that subconsciously and immediately covered her mouth in an attempt to save the blunder.

Fortunately, Pei Lianxue didn't understand, and she just tilted her head in confusion. "Sore hands?"

"Jade hands caress the hero!! Jade hands caress the hero!!"

Ye Anping turned to look at the parrot: ?

Xiao Yunluo looked at the parrot: !

Pei Lianxue also looked at the parrot and asked blankly, "What was the jade hand caressing?"

"It's nothing. The parrot likes to say strange things," Xiao Yunluo quickly answered. "My sister often teaches it weird things."

The parrot puffed out its chest and retorted. "Self-taught!! What a talent!! Self-taught..."

Before it finished speaking, Xiao Yunluo reached out and flipped it from Ye Anping's shoulder. "Lianxue, let's go and visit the morning market. Ye Anping also needs to rest."

With that, she took hold of Pei Lianxue's wrist and tugged her, half-dragging her out of the room.

Pei Lianxue originally wanted to kiss her brother good morning, so she looked back at Ye Anping, but Ye Anping nodded helplessly and signaled, We'll talk about it when we get back; go have some fun first.

After seeing the two girls leave, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief; he could finally do the laundry in peace.

So he closed the door of the room, silently walked back to the basin, and continued to rub his clothes.

But he only got to rub the clothes a few times, when...

Bang---

Suddenly, the door that he had closed was kicked open again.

A white shadow rushed into the room.

"Young Master Ye!!"

For fuck's sake, can you let me do some laundry here?!!

Irritated, Ye Anping stood up, turned around, and pulled Feng Yu Die's face, making it into a pie.

"Ouch, hey, hey---!"

"Knock before entering the room!! How many times have I told you..."

Feng Yu Die looked at Ye Anping's eyes and saw that he seemed really angry. Suddenly, she was bewildered, and with tears in her eyes, she grabbed his hand in grievance.

"But I'm worried, Sister Pei is missing!"

?

"Missing?"

"Well, I went with Sister Pei to handle paperwork in the Justice Division Office last night, but she disappeared after I fell asleep."

Ye Anping closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let go of Feng Yu Die's red face. He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling quite tired. "Now that you have come back, accompany me to the Justice Division Office. On the way, I have something to tell you about the demonic cultivator from yesterday."

Feng Yu Die rubbed her somewhat swollen face and pouted. "Ah... I just came back from the Justice Division. Where is Sister Pei?"

"She went with Sister Xiao to visit the morning market."

"I want to go too..."

Ye Anping sighed, took his coat from the hanger on the side, and put it on.

"I'll treat you to roasted chicken."

"Roasted chicken..." Feng Yu Die was in a quandary. "But I still want to go to the morning market with Sister Pei."

"Didn't you want to ask me about that demonic cultivator yesterday?"

"Well, yes, but there's no rush."

Ye Anping felt even more tired. "...You'll have enough roasted chicken for today."

Feng Yu Die raised three fingers, "Three days of roasted chicken."

"...So be it!"
