The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

?

Ye Anping blinked in confusion, but he still said, "When you have problems, you have to solve them. To solve them, you have to talk about it first..."

Thud---

Feng Yu Die frowned and slammed the pure jade chicken-killing knife that Yun Jiujiu had given her on the wooden table as if warning Ye Anping that if he spoke again, she would cut him to pieces!

"Hmph!"

"..."

Ye Anping felt helpless. It seemed that he had really pissed her off with something.

But thinking back to recent days, Ye Anping didn't feel anything wrong. Wasn't his interaction with Feng Yu Die as usual? Why did she get angry now when she wasn't before?

Normally, he wouldn't bother at all, the tantrums would be gone in a few days anyway.

But now it was the final stage of the Sword Sect incident, and there was no room for mistakes.

Let's coax her then...

With this in mind, Ye Anping pushed the roasted chicken on the table toward her and sincerely said, "No matter what I did to upset you, I apologize. How about I treat you to some roasted chicken later?"

At this, Feng Yu Die, who had turned her head away, not wanting to look at Ye Anping, turned back with her eyes half closed, raised her head, and pouted as if hesitating but still did not answer.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Anping knew he had to add more fuel to the fire. He simply took out ten bags containing ten thousand spirit stones from his storage bag and held them in front of her with his spiritual power. "The reward for the Jade Snow Peak incident a few days ago, plus the ten thousand you mentioned for hugging you once."

Seeing the bags of spirit stones, the anger in Feng Yu Die's eyes dissipated. After looking at Ye Anping's face for a moment, she reached out to take the bags.

But when she grabbed the bag of spirit stones, Ye Anping also reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Wait."

"What?"

"No matter what I did before, taking these spirit stones will settle things between us. Don't be angry anymore; there should be no mistakes in our future dealings."

"..."

Feng Yu Die pursed her lips, thinking that she was already on guard anyway. As long as she paid attention, Ye Anping would never be able to deceive her again, not to mention that following him, she could earn spirit stones and eat roasted chicken.

As long as she was smarter, and didn't get deceived by Ye Anping subtly, it would be a profitable business.

"Well... okay!"

Ye Anping let go of her hand and sighed lightly, then reached out to grab a drumstick to eat. However, just as he touched it, Feng Yu Die immediately puffed up her cheeks and hugged the roasted chicken to her chest.

"It's mine!"

"..."

Ye Anping awkwardly withdrew his hand. He only wanted to satisfy his craving for food, but actually, when reaching the Foundation Building stage, one no longer needed food; eating was purely for tasting flavors.

"Fine, it's yours."

Feng Yu Die smiled but then thought it over and felt it wasn't quite right, so she said, "You can have the chicken butt."

"I'm not eating chicken butt..."

"If you don't eat it, I'm eating everything."

"As you wish..."

Ye Anping sighed again, shook his head, picked up the teacup, and drank tea, silently watching Feng Yu Die wolfing down a chicken leg in one gulp.

"Slow down, no one is taking your food."

"Mind your own business... cough---cough---" Feng Yu Die desperately patted her chest as if something was stuck in her throat.

"I told you to eat slowly... a Foundation Building cultivator choked by a chicken bone... pfft---"

Seeing her choking, Ye Anping poured a cup of tea and pushed it over...

"Ah... gulp-gulp -- thanks..."

Feng Yu Die reluctantly thanked him, then suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Young Master Ye."

"Yes..."

"What's a 'birdie'?"

?

Ye Anping was speechless before reprimanding her with a frown. "... Eat your chicken quietly!!!"

"Oh..."

...

Meanwhile, in the next room.

Yun Yiyi and Yun Jiujiu also sat on both sides of a square table, just like the two people next door. Yun Jiujiu stared firmly with a menacing glare as if she wanted to beat someone up, making Yun Yiyi hesitant to speak.

The two sisters hadn't sat at the same table to talk for decades, and now Yun Yiyi didn't know how to start a conversation.

She came today for three reasons: one was to visit Yun Jiujiu and check her condition because that night she did risk her life to save her.

The second reason was to discuss with her about Zhuang Yan and Yun Kunwu.

Zhuang Yan had not been caught. Obviously, this matter was not over yet, but the Sword Sect disciples who were on the Jade Snow Peak at that time were still under investigation, and so far, no clear explanation had been given.

The Elders from the Middle Peak were searching for Zhuang Yan's whereabouts, but he was an old Nascent Soul cultivator after all. If he really wanted to hide, it would be difficult to find him even if Yun Tianchong himself came out of seclusion.

All the clues to the incident were cut off, and since she didn't know what Zhuang Yan was planning to do next, she could only wait patiently.

The third reason was to talk to Yun Jiujiu about Feng Yu's identity.

That night, the spirit of spring displayed by 'Feng Yu' showed that his nature was innocent, like a baby, without any evil thoughts, but it also showed that he was by no means as simple as a casual cultivator.

The timing of his arrival was too coincidental. Be it a little earlier or a little later, it would have produced a different result.

What's more, Yun Yiyi had a vague feeling that there was a third-party force other than the Sword Sect and Zhuang Yan, lurking in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, secretly fueling the flames.

This force seemed to be on her side at the moment, but whether it was foe or friend remained yet to be seen.

As Yun Yiyi organized her thoughts, Yun Jiujiu suddenly raised her eyebrows and slapped the table. "What on earth are you here for? Didn't you have something to say to me? Are you just going to sit here all day without saying anything? Are you playing dumb?"

Yun Yiyi pouted in embarrassment, then took out a bottle of top-grade healing pills from her storage bag and sent it to her with spiritual power. "... How's your injury?"

Looking at the pill bottle vigilantly, Yun Jiujiu narrowed her eyes and asked back, "Did you poison it?"

"No..."

"Oh~ If you poisoned it, of course you'd say no. Do you think I'm stupid? How would I dare accept something from you?"

"Second Sister..." Yun Yiyi took a deep breath and solemnly said, "I really came here because I was worried about you. If it weren't for you that night, I probably would have been refined into an evil pill by Zhuang Yan. I'm here to thank you."

"Well, you're welcome. Are we done talking? If so, you can go."

"You resent me that much?"

Yun Jiujiu pointed at her face, widened her eyes, and asked, "Look at this face, does it look like I welcome you?"

"No."

"Isn't that so? Please see yourself out. I still have to accompany Brother Yu to eat roasted chicken."

"There are other matters as well." Yun Yiyi frowned. "It's about Yun Kunwu. Zhuang Yan said that his soul was imprisoned by the old man within the Sword Sect's Thousand Sword Pool."

"Then, you can talk to Dad after he comes out of seclusion. Anyway, I will take Brother Yu and go far away. Who cares about this Sword Sect mess? If you like to be the sect leader, that's your business."

"Second Sister, I don't think this matter is over yet. Even if you want to leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape. Unless Zhuang Yan dies, you will never be safe no matter where you go."

Yun Jiujiu fell silent, feeling that it made sense. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Then, why don't we go to the Thousand Sword Pool and just cut that Yun Kunwu into pieces?"

"Go to the Thousand Sword Pool?"

"Yes, why not? Isn't he imprisoned there by our father? Then, let's destroy his soul first. Since Zhuang Yan wants him released, we should take action first."

Yun Yiyi said, "But there are restrictions on the Sword Sect forbidden area. How can we get in?"

Yun Jiujiu shrugged indifferently and spread her hands. "Why not just break the restriction? We can have the Middle Peak Elders join forces to create a breach, then bring one or two Elders with us inside."
