Chapter 390 - Brother, Bear All This Alone

In a small room, in a corner of the Commander's Mansion, the aroma of soothing medicine wafted in the air, mixed with the aroma of soy sauce. On a square mahogany table, there was a plate of steaming, oily, fragrant roasted chicken.

On one side of the square table, Xiao Yunluo sat with her arms over her chest, her lavender eyes fixed on Feng Yu Die across the table. Her expression was extremely serious, like a stern mother lecturing her child.

How could a mere idiot do things that she couldn't do, and so calmly?!

She was clearly an idiot!

Every time Ye Anping encountered danger, she failed to help.

Each time she could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Even in this crusade against the group of demonic cultivators, she did not have any special achievements. She just followed Lianxue all the way and restrained the Nascent Soul demonic cultivator with her.

Xiao Yunluo bit her lips lightly, feeling very unbalanced in her heart.

She admitted that she couldn't compare to Pei Lianxue.

After all, Pei Lianxue diligently practiced sword and energy condensation every day, and even trained with Ye Anping since she was little...

But, not to be as good as the second idiot?!

She couldn't accept that, sorry!

---Do you know how much effort she put into getting Ye Anping's love?

---Do you know how many books she read and how many pills she took to enhance her cultivation?

---After forming the core, she even ignored the Elders' advice, abandoned her Sword cultivation skills, and changed to Dharma cultivation.

But the second idiot even kissed Ye Anping in front of so many people, especially in front of Lianxue! And afterward, Lianxue even thanked her!

However, she couldn't do that!

What's more, she had never seen the second idiot cultivate seriously!

Since the Core Formation completion, the second idiot either ate roasted chicken or just hung around Pei Lianxue, trying to please her every day, and did not do any serious work!

And yet, the second idiot was still better than her!

Woo---

The more Xiao Yunluo thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her face turned into a round bitter gourd.

On the other hand, Feng Yu Die didn't know what she had done wrong. She could only see that Sister Xiao seemed very angry.

After being stared at by Xiao Yunluo for a long time, Feng Yu Die couldn't help herself. She made a little figure with her right hand and slowly moved with her index and middle fingers toward the plate of roasted chicken on the table.

Alas, just as she was about to touch the plate...

Clap---

Feng Yu Die quickly retracted her hand and straightened her back, blinking. Then, she said pitifully, "Sister Xiao, the roasted chicken is getting cold. It won't taste good if it's cold."

"Eat! All you know is to eat!"

Xiao Yunluo gritted her teeth and reached across the table to grab her cheek, pulling hard.

"When did you get together with Anping?"

"Ah..." Feng Yu Die grabbed her hand, looking confused. "What do you mean I got together with Master Ye? I didn't..."

"If you didn't get together, then why didn't you hesitate when you kissed him? Tell me, how many times have you kissed him? Where? When? Tell me the truth!"

"Ouch... Sister Xiao, it hurts..." Feng Yu Die patted Xiao Yunluo's little hand, asking for mercy. "Just... just twice."

"Twice?"

"Once, when Master Ye and I were buried under the mountain, we kissed each other accidentally."

Xiao Yunluo let go of her face and tilted her head, asking. "When you were buried?"

Feng Yu Die rubbed her red cheeks and replied in a small voice, "It was an accident... and I kissed him just now to save him. Young Master Ye treats me well too. I can't just watch helplessly as his life is in danger and do nothing."

"...Is that all?"

"That's it, what else?"

Xiao Yunluo narrowed her eyes. "Don't you want to be his cultivation partner?"

"I'm devoted to Sister Pei. Young Master Ye is... is..." Feng Yu Die stuttered. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a while. "I don't know exactly, but Young Master Ye is very good to me..."

"Just because he's buying you roasted chicken, is he good?"

"He also helped me earn spirit stones and saved me several times. If he hadn't arrived in time, I would have probably been killed by Gu Mingxin. Also, Sister Xiao, he bought your sword for me!"

Her sword...

When Xiao Yunluo heard these words, her heart suddenly throbbed as if an arrow had been shot into it.

Until now, there was still no clue about the ten-thousand-year-old black stone spirit sword her mother gave her.

Over the past few years, she had actually asked the Elders of the Black Star Sect to help her find it. However, that cultivator from the Seven Slayers Sect had mysteriously disappeared along with the destruction of the Seven Slayers Sect in the Western Region.

The swords that followed: one broken, one given to Lianxue, one in the hands of the second idiot.

A year ago, when she had just completed her tribulation, she went to the Sword Pavilion of the Black Star Sect, and as soon as she entered, Mr. Liu, the Sword Master, stared at her with murderous eyes and asked, "Young Miss Xiao! Did you lose the sword I gave you again?"

The look in his eyes, as if he wanted to flay her alive, was so terrifying that even now, she still did not dare to step into the Sword Pavilion again.

Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips slightly and relaxed. Seeing Feng Yu Die frowning, she asked, "So, how does it feel to kiss Anping?"

"Well... feels like roasted chicken skin, salty and smooth."

"You like it?"

"I like it very much... hehe."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo immediately reached out and grabbed her cheeks, pulling her face into a big pie.

"Then, why are you saying that you are devoted to Sister Pei? What kind of devotion is this, if you like to kiss Ye Anping?"

"Ay ay ay..." Feng Yu Die begged for mercy hurriedly. "I don't like Young Master Ye. That's not right either. Young Master Ye and I have an agreement..."

Suddenly, Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows, as if she had realized something, and hurried to explain. "I got it!"

"...You got what?"

"It's because Young Master Ye kissed Sister Pei that I like to kiss Young Master Ye on the mouth!"

?

Xiao Yunluo blinked. "Huh?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I am devoted to Sister Pei. Because Young Master Ye has kissed Sister Pei before, kissing him is equivalent to kissing Sister Pei. Therefore, I like the feeling of kissing Young Master Ye. That's it! I don't like kissing Young Master Ye. I like kissing Sister Pei!"

Hearing this reasoning, Xiao Yunluo felt as if a knot had formed in her brain. She was frozen for a long time before she slowly withdrew her hand and sat down.

However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the second idiot's logic was a little scary.

She covered her face and let out a long sigh. "Sigh... Forget it, I don't care about you. Anping asked me to teach you about men and women, here~"

As she spoke, Xiao Yunluo took out three books from her storage bag and threw them next to the plate of roasted chicken on the table. "You can even say you want to borrow a bird? You are not ashamed, but I am. Didn't you see the expressions on the faces of the old doctor and Commander Xu at that time?"

Feng Yu Die slightly shrank her neck and looked at the covers of the three books, which respectively read: 'Mysterious Girl Sutra', 'Jade Room Secret Book', 'Immortal Palace Erotic Pictures-- Hardcover Painted Edition'...

"Can't I just borrow the bird?"

"No!" Xiao Yunluo frowned and denied, explaining, "Everything in the world can be divided into yin and yang. The bird is a yang body part with yang fluid inside. When it is combined with the yin fluid in women like you and me, it becomes a child."

"...Yin and yang." Feng Yu Die nodded. "That means Sister Pei and I both have yin fluid, and we need yang fluid to give birth to a child?"

"...Yes!"

"Then, can we borrow the yang fluid?"

?

Xiao Yunluo opened her mouth slightly... Come to think of it, it seemed that this could indeed be borrowed...

She heard that some men who couldn't give birth to a child would go and borrow others'...

Realizing what she was thinking, Xiao Yunluo shook her head like a rattle, throwing her four ponytails left and right. She was almost led astray by the second idiot.

"No!!"

Lianxue seemed to have finished showering...

Lianxue seemed to lie on the bed...

Lianxue seemed to have fallen asleep...

"!!"

Xiao Yunluo's eyes lit up. To prevent Lianxue from suspecting something, she stuffed a few pillows on her bed and covered the arrangement with a blanket. Then, she jumped out the window and hopped toward Ye Anping's room.

Just as Pei Lianxue had said, two Snow Guards with spears stood guard in the front of the room.

When they saw Xiao Yunluo approaching, they slightly raised their eyebrows and hurriedly cupped their hands.

"Miss Xiao, it's so late, why aren't you resting? We're standing guard here. You'd better..."

"Ahem..." Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath. "You guys can leave now. You're also tired from fighting the demonic cultivators before. I will stay with Young Master Ye myself."

The two Snow Guards looked at each other and didn't say anything. They cupped their hands and made way.

After seeing Xiao Yunluo enter, the two whispered together. "Should we go?

"Let's go. Didn't Senior Pei tell us to keep an eye on Young Miss Xiao and call her if she comes? She even gave us spirit stones and pills."

"But..."

"Well, sister, we are just following orders. This is someone else's family matter. Young Master Ye is so lucky. He is handsome and his wives are all so beautiful. Alas..."

The two sighed, then put away their spears and slowly headed toward Pei Lianxue's bedroom.

...

Rustle---

The room was very warm, and there were several lamps made of flint around the bed, blocking out the snowy and cold air outside the house.

Ye Anping felt something strange moving beneath his cover. He slowly woke up and opened his eyes.

He only remembered that he had fainted once again. Turning to look at the window, he saw that it was already dark outside and thought that he had probably slept for most of the day.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and continue sleeping, he suddenly noticed a pair of purple boots that did not belong to him, neatly placed side by side with his own boots.

?

The next moment---

Slurp...

Along with a strange sound, a strange feeling came from the bottom up.

Ye Anping's eyes widened. He slowly pulled open his quilt, propped himself up, and looked down.

A pair of starry lavander eyes reflected in his eyes.

"..."

"Hmm?"

"Yunluo, you..."

Boo~~

"Anping, are you awake? It's okay, just lie down, I'll help you recuperate." Xiao Yunluo smiled, blushing. "You need to have a good rest. This is the duty of your cultivation partner."

Ye Anping hesitated to speak, and after a long time, he managed to utter a sentence. "Yunluo, I am still injured..."

Xiao Yun Luo narrowed her eyes and revealed a charming expression.

"I'm giving you my spiritual energy so you can recover faster, wouldn't that be better? Besides, it's been almost three years, Anping. I've been following your instructions for three years and I haven't read those books once..."

"..."

Ye Anping bit his lips slightly. He could control his hands and feet, but he couldn't control...

However, it was also at this moment that the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. There was also a clattering sound, like iron sliding on the ground.

Clatter---

Ye Anping realized who was coming, closed his eyes, and lay back down.

Xiao Yunluo was a little confused when, with a "bang", the door was opened, and her confusion turned into fear.

A voice that sounded like it was demanding her life followed.

"Yunluo!!!"

"Ah?!" Xiao Yunluo was scared silly. She could only clench her legs, sit up, and wave her hand as she shouted, "Lianxue, wait, listen to my explanation..."

Clatter---

Pei Lianxue stepped over the threshold with her right foot and slowly walked toward the bed, dragging the sword Xiao Yunluo had given her before.

"Ah... oh..." Xiao Yunluo didn't know what to say as she nervously watched Pei Lianxue getting closer and closer. Almost crying, she hurriedly looked at Ye Anping. "Anping, you... say something, help me persuade Lianxue... I..."

However, at this moment, she realized that Ye Anping, who was awake a moment ago, had his eyes closed tightly as if she had just imagined it.

Pei Lianxue came to the bedside and slowly brought her face to Xiao Yunluo's.

"Yunluo."

"Lianxue... I... Woo------"

"You lied to me...You said you wouldn't fall in love with my brother. You clearly said so!"

"I..." Xiao Yunluo was so scared that tears flowed out. "Lianxue, this is all your brother's fault!"

Ye Anping: ?

Pei Lianxue turned her head thirty degrees. "Eh?"

"Why was he so handsome, so reliable, and so gentle to me?! I... I couldn't control myself! Lianxue, no man I have ever met since I was a child was as good as him... I..."

Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and clenched the 'future' in her small hands. "I like your brother! I like Ye Anping! I will only marry him!"

Ye Anping: ??

Xiao Yunluo's little hands squeezed tighter and tighter because of fear, and Ye Anping, who was pretending to sleep, looked more and more blue.

Pei Lianxue pouted slightly as she heard this and raised the sword in her hand.

"Ah! Lianxue..."

"Take your sword back, the one you lent me before..."

"Ah?"

Pei Lianxue looked away. "I'm the First Lady, you understand?"

"Oh..."

Xiao Yunluo was a little dazed, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, but her hand finally released the 'future'. Ye Anping, who was playing dead, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lianxue... you..."

"I'm angry! But..." Pei Lianxue looked at Ye Anping and continued, "What to do if my rotten brother is so outstanding?"

Then, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Yunluo's face. "I'm the First Lady!"

"Ah... um."

"Humph... Brother is still injured. Get off him first!"

Xiao Yunluo froze slightly. "Lianxue, this way his injury heals faster. Why don't... why don't... why don't you come too?"

Ye Anping clenched his fists when he heard this. Xiao Yunluo, what are you teaching my sister?! How could my sister agree?

"Hmm..."

Hmm???

Seeing Pei Lianxue nod, Xiao Yunluo's eyes lit up. She quickly threw the sword to the side and pulled Pei Lianxue's hand, letting her grab the 'future' as well. "Lianxue, I'll teach you... You rub gently like this..."

...

Ye Anping was speechless. He didn't even know if he should 'wake up'. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to pretend to be asleep. Therefore, he kept silent and closed his eyes, bearing all this alone...
