Chapter 388 - Brother, The Sleeping Prince

Tap tap~~

The doors and windows were closed, and noisy footsteps could be heard outside, but the room was very warm and filled with a faint soothing fragrance, which made people relax physically and mentally.

Feng Yu Die slowly opened her eyes, and what came into her view was the wooden ceiling.

Her head was buzzing and intermittent memories began to replay from the depths of her consciousness.

The taste of roasted chicken skin, salty, and a little slippery...

She really liked that taste, and after tasting Master Ye's lips, she also felt an unprecedented sense of security.

At that time, she and Young Master Ye were both buried in the mountain, and they could be crushed into mincemeat by the rocks above them at any moment.

But after that unexpected kiss, she seemed to be relieved, as if she didn't have to worry about anything with Master Ye around.

Her heart felt warm...

Could it be that she was indeed attracted to Young Master Ye just like Xiao Tian said?

Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows slightly, trying to find a reason to refute, but she found nothing. Conflicted emotions filled her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Her master told her to stay away from men!

But now she was attracted to a man.

This was treason and heresy. It was deceiving her master and destroying her ancestors! She couldn't let her master down, nor could she let Sister Pei down. She was devoted to Sister Pei...

Feng Yu Die bit her lips and called out. "Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian!!"

However, Xiao Tian didn't seem to be with her.

An unfamiliar female voice replied instead. "Xiao Tian?"

Feng Yu Die looked toward the voice.

The morning light outside poured into the house through the paper window. There were some tables, chairs, and vases with relief carvings, and it looked like a guest house in a mansion.

A Snow Guard whom Feng Yu Die did not recognize was guarding her room, with a spear by her side.

Confused, Feng Yu Die frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

The Snow Guard suddenly showed a trace of nervousness on her face. She hurried to the bedside, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply. "Senior Feng, if it weren't for you and the golden dragon helping us, my sister and I would probably have turned into food for the black python. Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"

"Oh..."

Feng Yu Die thought about it and remembered that she had saved two Snow Guards when she met Gu Mingxin. For a moment, she felt embarrassed. She sat up and touched the back of her head, blushing. "Hehehe... You're welcome."

The Snow Guard was surprised to see her so shy. She hastily took out a roasted chicken from her storage bag.

When she returned, she specifically asked Miss Xiao about Feng Yu Die's preferences.

Xiao Yunluo's original words were: "What does she like? Buy her a roasted chicken and give her some spirit stones, and she'll smile like a flower."

Just as Xiao Yunluo said, seeing the roasted chicken, Feng Yu Die's eyes instantly glowed.

The Snow Guard also relaxed her stance slightly. "Senior Feng, I heard from Young Miss Xiao that you like to eat roasted chicken, so..."

But in the next moment, Feng Yu Die seemed to have remembered something. She looked around, picked up the storage bag by the pillow, and poured out seven or eight roasted chickens sealed in oilcloth.

All of this had been given to her by Ye Anping before, but the roasted chicken was not a spiritual thing, and it would still rot if it was put in the storage bag.

A foul smell immediately hit her in the face.

Feng Yu Die frowned, feeling a little regret, but she immediately realized that she must have slept for a long time, so she asked, "How long have I slept? Where's Master Ye?"

The Snow Guard looked nervous and hesitated for a moment before slowly answering, "Ah... you've been sleeping for seven days. Senior Ye... he..."

The Snow Guard's hesitant expression had already made Ye Anping's situation clear. Feng Yu Die widened her eyes, and she quickly pulled open the quilt and got off the bed.

Feng Yu Die's face was full of worry, but she had no strength. Plus, her left hand was wrapped in bandages, and her right leg and waist were swollen with two lumps bigger than her boobs.

However, she ignored all this, gritted her teeth, and stood up from the bed.

"Ah..." The Snow Guard hurried over to support her. "Senior Feng, the doctor said you need to rest..."

Feng Yu Die frowned and asked seriously, "Hiss-- I'm fine, where is Young Master Ye? What happened to him?"

"Senior Ye... the doctor said that half of his meridians were broken and he might not wake up. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao Golden Core and the strengthened bones and body, he would have already died..."

"..."

Feng Yu Die was shocked. She didn't have the mood to care about her injuries as she quickly pulled the Snow Guard out of the room.

"Take me there."

"Ah... Senior Feng, you..."

"Take me there!!"

The Snow Guard, frightened by the roar, shrank her neck and didn't try to persuade her anymore. She hurriedly supported Feng Yu Die and walked out of the room, leading her toward another courtyard of the Commander's Mansion.

In the corridor, a little medicine boy was running back and forth between the rooms, carrying hot water. Most rooms were filled with injured Snow Guards, and the smell of blood filled the entire mansion.

Feng Yu Die felt a little distressed after seeing this, but she didn't have time to care too much as she rushed to a slightly larger guest room in a courtyard behind the Commander's Mansion.

As soon as she reached the door of the guest room, Feng Yu Die heard Sister Xiao's voice inside.

"Lianxue, don't worry. Ye Anping is so strong. If it doesn't work, we'll bring him back to the Black Star Sect. My mother will definitely save him. You haven't closed your eyes for seven days. Go back to the room and rest for a while. I'll watch over him..."

" Woo ←→, no need..."

...

Feng Yu Die felt a sudden pang in her heart when she heard this. Without saying a word, she pushed the door open, causing everyone in the room to look at her.

In addition to Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo, Xu Mulan and an old man with a long beard who looked to be in his sixties were also there.

She glanced at everyone's expressions and noticed that Pei Lianxue's eyes were red as if she had cried. She gritted her teeth, shook off the Snow Guard who was supporting her and limped to the bedside.

"Young Master Ye..."

Ye Anping lay on the bed with his eyes tightly closed, his face as pale as a corpse. Even Feng Yu Die held her breath after seeing him.

Xiao Yunluo hurriedly came up to support her, in case she lost her balance and fell over Ye Anping, causing him another injury.

However, seeing Xiao Tian floating next to him, he got his answer.

Ye Anping's eyes twitched. Xiao Tian...

"Ah..." Xiao Tian avoided his glare fearfully and knocked her head, sticking out her tongue. "Hey."

Then, she plunged into his forehead and escaped.

"..."

The next moment, Pei Lianxue jumped into his embrace and sniffed.

"Sob-sob- brother!! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's all my fault!! It's all my fault!! If I hadn't let that Gu cultivator go... sniff--"

With a helpless look, Ye Anping raised his hand and patted her head.

"It's not your fault. It happened so suddenly. Who could have thought... Wooo---"

"Sniff--"

Pei Lianxue raised her head tearfully and looked at her brother's lips. Without saying a word, she stretched her neck forward and bit him.

Imitating Feng Yu Die, she tried to pass her spiritual energy to him.

However, feeling the water spiritual energy rushing into his meridians like a tide, a cold sweat broke out on Ye Anping's back, and he hurriedly held her by the shoulders and gently pushed her away.

"Sister, that's enough~ You want me to explode?"

"..."

Pei Lianxue realized that she had done something wrong again, and immediately lowered her head with a guilty look.

She slowly moved away from Ye Anping, stood up, and turned to look at Feng Yu Die who was standing aside.

"Second... Sister Feng."

Feng Yu Die came back to her senses, shrank her neck, and nodded slowly. "Hmm? What... what?"

Pei Lianxue took a deep breath, lowered her head, and bowed solemnly.

"Thank you."

Thank you...

Thank you...

Thank you...

Pei Lianxue's delicate voice reverberated in Feng Yu Die's mind. Her heart was filled with joy, and her chest suddenly felt warm.

This was the first time Sister Pei had thanked her!

"Ah... No...You're welcome. If you really want to express your gratitude, how about... how about..."

Feng Yu Die pursed her lips, then asked tentatively, "Why don't you ask Young Master Ye to lend you his bird and I'll give you a child?"

? ? ? ? ? ?

Six question marks popped on the heads of the six people present, except for Feng Yu Die.

Seeing their reaction, Feng Yu Die pressed her chin awkwardly. "Then... could he lend it to me?"

Six question marks doubled and became twelve.

Ye Anping sighed weakly. "Yunluo..."

"...Eh?"

"Take her back and give her some tutoring."

Xiao Yunluo looked blankly as if asking: Why don't you tell her? But when she turned and saw the expressions of Xu Mulan and the old doctor, she felt really awkward.

She didn't know why.

Although it had nothing to do with her, she felt that Feng Yu Die was embarrassing her. She went and grabbed her shoulder.

"Let's go!"

"Huh?" Feng Yu Die was dumbfounded. "Where are we going?"

"To class! Who told you this nonsense, didn't your master... the Great Taixu teach you as a child?"

"...Teach me what?"

"Teach you the difference between men and women, teach you where children come from..."

Their voices gradually faded away as they walked out of the room.

Ye Anping looked at them, feeling a little tired. He sighed, then turned to look at Xu Mulan and the others with a nod. "Commander Xu, I still need to rest for a few days. Sorry to trouble you..."

"...You're welcome." Xu Mulan nodded with a blushing face. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Mr. Ye, Miss Li is recuperating next door, and the servants in the mansion are taking care of her. You don't have to worry about her. I have official business to deal with later, so I won't stay."

Ye Anping was also quite relieved to hear this, and he cupped his hands in return. "Well, many thanks..."

After bowing, Xu Mulan pulled the old doctor along and went after Xiao Yunluo and Feng Yu Die.

After watching them leave, Pei Lianxue walked over and closed the door of the guest room. She then walked back to the bed and gently pulled Ye Anping's hand.

"Brother, I'll be watching over you. Just tell me if you need anything."

"Hmm..."

Ye Anping slowly lay down, pulled the quilt up to his neck, and relaxed his body and mind.

However, after just one breath...

Pei Lianxue bit her lip slightly and raised her head, looking straight into his eyes. "Brother."

"Huh?"

"When did you start calling Yunluo 'Yunluo'?"

Thump...thump...bang!!!

The heart that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again.

Ye Anping looked at Pei Lianxue's expressionless face and her clear eyes. He pondered for a while before simply telling the truth. "It started at the time we returned to the Hundred Lotus Sect on the Justice Division ship..."
