Chapter 346 - Feng Yu Die Dreaming About Her Bride Named Ye

A silver butterfly fluttered its wings and landed on the willow branches in the small courtyard.

Inside the ancient cave on the side of the Jade Void Mountain, the scent of chicken was overflowing. On a large round table, there were about ten roasted chickens hot and smoking, and people were sitting around the table, chatting among themselves.

Feng Yu Die stood blankly on the stage, looking at the people below. She felt her head spinning and didn't know why she was standing there, and why she was wearing a big red robe.

Suddenly, Master Taixu's voice came from behind. "Yu Die, what are you still standing there for? Go and bring the bride to the hall for the ceremony."

Feng Yu Die turned around and saw her master sitting on the high seat. Her eyes widened, but she soon came to her senses and asked in a low voice, "Ma...Master?! Haven't you... already... passed away?"

Hearing this, Master Taixu frowned. She grabbed a red date from the table next to her and smashed it on her forehead. "You brat, are you cursing me to die? I should have sold you for wine money."

"Ah..." Feng Yu Die rubbed her forehead, pursed her lips, and lowered her head timidly. "But, I remember you..."

"Forget it." Master Taixu waved her hand as she shook her head helplessly, and then pointed behind her with her chin. "The bride is still waiting for you there, go and pick her up. The stork will come to deliver the baby soon."

"..."

Feng Yu Die was silent for a moment, then slowly turned her head toward where Master Taixu was pointing, only to see a silhouette wearing a red veil standing in front of the courtyard gate.

After a pause, she looked back at the other person sitting next to Master Taixu on the high seat.

Seeing that it was Patriarch Ye of the Hundred Lotus Sect, she realized that the one in the red veil was...

"Sister... Sister Pei?"

"..."

Feng Yu Die's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she no longer wondered about the current scene. She immediately ran over, gently pulled the sleeves of the woman in the wedding dress, and took her to the stage.

Master Taixu nodded to them with a smile, flicked the horsetail whisk in her hand, and suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky.

A stork, holding a basket in its beak, landed from the sky in front of the two.

In the basket, the baby, with only a few silver strands of hair on his head, was sucking his right thumb, sleeping sweetly.

Master Taixu stood up with a smile and spread her hands. "Yu Die, this is your baby... Hurry and pick him up."

"Pick... Pick him up? Oh..."

Feng Yu Die paused shortly after hearing this and glanced at the bride beside her. She pursed her lips shyly, but finally mustered up her courage, took a deep breath, and gently held the bride's shoulders.

"Sister Pei... I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

She licked her lips, moistening them with saliva, grabbed a corner of the red veil, lifted it, and then saw Ye Anping's face behind it.

Ye Anping, with light rouge applied on his face, was looking at her calmly with his deep purple eyes.

Looking at her calmly.

Looking at her calmly.

Calmly...

...

"Ha---!"

An inhaling sound broke the tranquility in the pavilion.

Feng Yu Die sat up suddenly, gasping for breath. After realizing it was a dream, she felt slightly more at ease, covering her chest and sighing.

"...Hoo--"

She closed her eyes for a while, then turned her head and looked at the window, watching the moonlight shine through. She was at a loss for a while before remembering what happened before.

"I seem to have fought with the Demon King..."

Feng Yu Die murmured, slowly lowering her head to look at her collar. It seemed that Sister Pei or Sister Xiao had changed her clothes while she was asleep. She was now wearing a loose snow-white robe.

Pulling open the collar, she could see a bandage stained with a bit of blood wrapped around her chest.

Underneath the bandage, the words "Blessed by Heaven" and "Ye Anping" were imprinted.

These words looked like some kind of seal, but more like the branding iron type of print, not on the skin, but underneath it.

Feng Yu Die tried to rub it off with her fingers but found that it couldn't be removed. With a dark face, she looked around and called out.

"Xiao Tian."

"..."

"Xiao Tian!!"

"..."

Ye Anping looked at her flustered appearance in silence. After all, it wasn't the first time that she acted crazy. He simply held his breath, raised his hand, and straightened his crooked nose with a 'click'.

Then, he reached out and twisted Feng Yu Die's right cheek.

Feng Yu Die hastily begged for mercy, her cheeks slightly flushed, and lowered her head. "Ay, ay, ouch... I'm sorry, I just... I felt like you were seducing me again... so..."

?

Ye Anping stared at her for a while before slowly withdrawing his hand. "The Demon King wants the Heavenly Dao Scroll and will inevitably come after both of us. This matter can't be resolved without a fight. I have no chance of surviving in front of him, but you can at least stay alive. Through the Black Moon Routine, one can use the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal to draw energy from the spiritual veins under the Heavenly Gate City. As long as the person is not dead, they can be saved."

"Why on earth does he want the Heavenly Dao Scroll?"

Ye Anping answered with a shrug. "That fox used to be quite infatuated. Thousands of years ago, his cultivation partner died, but her body was never found. He didn't even know where she died or at whose hands. For thousands of years, he had searched for the answer to this question, but, unfortunately, he found nothing. In the end, he had to put his hopes on the Heavenly Dao Scroll."

Feng Yu Die was slightly surprised, and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Well, can't he just ask? What's the big deal? I can help him check. He doesn't have to just draw his sword without saying anything..."

"You are a human cultivator. Do you think he will believe your side of the story?"

"Well... There's that."

Ye Anping shook his head with a sigh. "Over the past thousands of years, Hu Mu has asked many people, but most of these people only wanted to use him to help them get rid of someone."

Feng Yu Die held her chin, thought for a while, then nodded. "Driving the tiger to devour the wolf?"

"Hu Mu's cultivation partner has been dead for so many years, and the clues and evidence are long gone. If he wants to track down the murderer now, he can only rely on the Heavenly Dao Scroll that records the events from ten thousand years ago that took place in the Immortal Realm."

Feng Yu Die turned to look at Xiao Tian and found that she was hiding far away. A little confused, she asked, "Xiao Tian, why are you so far away?"

"Ah... hehe." Xiao Tian wanted to give the two of them some space to be alone, but when she heard Feng Yu Die calling her, she flew over and asked, "No, it's nothing. Yu Die, what do you want me to do?"

"Check the matter of Hu Mu's cultivation partner."

"I already checked when Anping told me earlier. His partner died at the hands of the Heavenly Demonic Sect's Patriarch, and that fox demon's name was Hu Yulan. She sacrificed her life in order to save Bai Yurou, a cultivator she had followed to the Eastern Region."

"Bai Yurou? Who is that?"

Ye Anping picked up the conversation. "The last person who owned the Heavenly Dao Scroll; a disciple of the Bright Star Sect and a close friend of Hu Mu. It's a pity that although Hu Yulan helped her stop the leader of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, she still didn't escape from the East Region alive and died from the demonic poison."

"So..."

As Feng Yu Die listened, she could not hide the pity in her eyes, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Then, how do we tell the Demon King this?"

"We'll tell it as it is. I guess he will find us with that sly little vixen soon."

"Sly vixen?"

"The little fox demon following him, have you forgotten? Her name is Xue Tianqiao. She was born with a very sensitive nose and can smell the scent of the Heavenly Dao Scroll. Moreover, because she looks very similar to Hu Yulan, Hu Mu can't get angry with her."

"Oh..."

Feng Yu Die nodded and then followed Ye Anping's example and lay down on the roof tiles.

She once again turned her head to look at Ye Anping's face and squinted, smiling. "Young Master Ye."

"What?"

"You're much more useful than Xiao Tian, hehehe--"

?

Ye Anping glanced at her. "Are you praising me or mocking me?"

"Of course I'm praising you." Feng Yu Die relaxed as she stretched her body lazily. "Every time I encounter something, Xiao Tian just cries and makes a fuss in my ear, which is not useful at all."

Xiao Tian puffed up her cheeks, rushed forward, and grabbed Feng Yu Die, kicking her and then biting her head. "Yu Die! Who are you calling useless?! Waa~~!!"

Feng Yu Die laughed helplessly, sat up, and looked at Ye Anping with narrowed eyes.

At this time, the sun peeked out from behind the mountains in the east, dyeing the horizon red. The morning light sprinkled on Feng Yu Die's smooth face, somehow replacing her silliness with sweetness.

Ye Anping was a little dazed by her charming and heartfelt smile.

Feng Yu Die lowered her eyes, avoiding Ye Anping's gaze, and her cheeks flushed slightly as she said daintily, "Young Master Ye..."

Feng Yu Die squirmed for a while, pursed her lips, and brewed for a while before saying, "Can I sleep with Sister Pei tonight? I want to repay her by giving her a child... Sister Pei saved me, and... Young Master Ye, can you lend us your bird?"

Ye Anping, who was lost in thought, came back to his senses instantly after hearing these words. He gently raised his foot and kicked her in the ass with no expression.

"Ah?!"

Feng Yu Die directly slid down the roof on her butt, and before she could react, she crashed from the third floor of the inn into the chicken coop below, stirring up a flurry of chicken feathers.

Cluck, cluck, cluck---

Ye Anping sat up, looked down at her, and raised his eyebrows. "Out of the question."

He then lay down on his back again, relaxed, and greeted the new day.
