The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

After sending Ye Anping back to his inn, Xiao Yunluo rushed back to Long Jade Street to look for her mother, but after searching for a long time along the street, she couldn't find her. As a result, she simply went back alone to the east part of Heavenly Gate City, to an inn that provided accommodation for rich cultivators.

The inn was called the Seven Fragrance Pavilion, and it was the only inn in Heavenly Gate City that was only opened to female cultivators from aristocratic families. Several Nascent Soul stage cultivators patrolled the pavilion every day, and the surroundings were strictly guarded. It could be said that even if one were to run around naked inside the inn, one would never have to worry that someone would see them.

Xiao Yunluo returned to her rented room and happily took a hot bath, then changed into a nightgown and lay down on the bed. She looked up at the ceiling as her mind recalled the scene when she danced for Ye Anping. She felt as if a deer was bouncing around in her heart.

"Woo~~~"

The deer in her chest bumped and bumped, and she couldn't help but roll on the bed. After rolling several times, she turned around and huddled up hugging the feather pillow.

"Does Ye Anping like me too? He even praised me for dancing well, hehehehe... Anping~ Anping~~"

Xiao Yunluo puckered her lips and started kissing her pillow.

Chirp~~~

"Tee-hee--"

Right at this time...

Creak---

The door was pushed open suddenly, revealing Si Xuanji holding a pile of random things in her arms as she crossed the threshold on her short legs.

Hearing the "chirping" sound of kisses in the room, she poked her head out from behind the piles of boxes and cakes in her arms. When she saw her daughter hugging and kissing her pillow, a trace of disdain flashed in those yin and yang eyes.

"..."

Xiao Yunluo froze on the spot with her mouth pouting. She turned around and saw her mother walking in with some stuff in her arms. Her face was immediately filled with embarrassment, and she quickly threw away the pillow and sat up on her knees. "Mom... you are back..."

"You--"

Si Xuanji shook her head as she walked to the side table and threw the things in her arms on it.

Xiao Yunluo awkwardly asked, "Mom, why don't you use a storage bag?"

Si Xuanji glanced at her. "What did you call me?"

"Ah... sister."

"The storage bag doesn't feel like shopping." Si Xuanji shrugged. Seeing her daughter's flustered appearance, she knew that she had probably wasted the opportunity again. "Did Ye Anping say anything to you?"

"He said..." Xiao Yunluo paused, and then continued, "Ye Anping said that he was going to kill a demonic cultivator in a few days and asked us to go and help."

"A demonic cultivator? In Heavenly Gate City?"

"Well, that's what he said... So, are you going?"

Si Xuanji frowned slightly, walked to the window, and stood on tiptoe. However, the window was higher than that of an ordinary inn, and she couldn't reach its latch, so she simply floated up with spiritual power, pushed the window open, and looked up at the stars in the sky.

The starry sky passed like a river in front of her yin and yang eyes, and the last black star shining with white light was reflected in the center of her pupils.

After hesitating for a while, Si Xuanji closed the window and put the latch back.

"Go to bed early and sleep as much as you can as your cultivation level is still low."

"Ah... um." Xiao Yunluo opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask about what happened between her mother and Ye Anping, but seeing her mother taking out a cushion and starting to meditate, she didn't dare to disturb her anymore. She carefully placed the pillow back and lay down on her side. "Mom, good night."

Si Xuanji sat down cross-legged, took off her embroidered shoes, and massaged her little feet that had rarely touched the ground in decades. Then, she glanced at Xiao Yunluo, who had her back turned to her, and smiled. "Good night."

...

Meanwhile, in the Flowing Moon Inn in the Western District.

Ye Anping, who had just finished bathing and changed his clothes, stood at the window, contemplating the stars in the sky. Xiao Tian lay on his head, her little feet up and swaying, accompanying him in his stargazing.

"Anping, the stars are so bright today~ Look at that one!"

Ye Anping let out a sigh. "What about it?"

"Do you know which one I'm talking about?"

"No idea."

Xiao Tian puffed up her cheeks, lowered her head, and brought her face in front of him while hanging upside down. "You're so boring. So, did Miss Xiao dance well today?"

"Pretty good."

"Then, do you want Yu Die to dance for you? Yu Die can dance too, actually, she can dance much better than Miss Xiao..."

"No."

Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her, and then, recalling Xiao Yunluo shyly dancing before him, his heartbeat accelerated a little, and a wave of heat rushed down from his chest.

Of course, he knew this was wrong.

He was now together with his sister but was still attracted to other girls.

But how could he remain indifferent to a pretty girl who mustered up the courage to bare her emotions in front of him?

What's more, he did have lustful feelings toward Xiao Yunluo.

"..."

Feng Yu Die Feng Yu Die Feng Yu Die Feng Yu Die...

After chanting Feng Yu Die's name several times in his mind, Ye Anping forcibly suppressed the slight throbbing, then took a deep breath, came to his senses, and turned his attention to the demonic cultivator that he had just talked to Feng Yu Die about.

Where there was yin in the world, there was also yang; there was black and there was white.

In the Imperial Sect incident in the game, Feng Yu Die, who followed the path of true Yang, met a demonic cultivator named "Gu Mingxin" who was opposite to her in all aspects and followed the true Yin opposite path.

That person was different from Yun Kunwu.

Although Yun Kunwu could be considered Feng Yu Die's great enemy, he had never met her in the game, and they weren't even from the same era.

However, Gu Mingxin was comparable to Feng Yu Die in terms of both cultivation and experience.

Ever since they met in the Imperial Sect, the two seemed to be bound together by fate, and they would run into each other wherever they went.

Feng Yu Die had forced Gu Mingxin to a dead end many times, and likewise, Gu Mingxin had forced her and Xiao Yunluo to a dead end many times. There were winnings and losses on both sides, but no one dared to say that they could win 100% against the other.

Ye Anping's idea was that it would be best to kill her in the Imperial Sect. In this case, everything after that would be smooth sailing. But killing her would be almost as difficult as a demonic cultivator killing Feng Yu Die.

Feng Yu Die had the aura of the protagonist, while Gu Mingxin had the aura of a great villain.

The two of them could only be killed by each other, while others would only deliver the setup.

However, Ye Anping's concern was not about the villain's aura, but...

He looked at Xiao Tian, who was hanging upside down on his forehead.

Seeing him looking over, Xiao Tian blinked and tilted her head, asking, "What is it?"

There was no "Xiao Tian" in the game.

Or better said, there was, but players couldn't see it, only Feng Yu Die could.

And Gu Mingxin also possessed a Heavenly Demonic Scroll.

Thinking about it, she most likely had such an 'emergency food' by her side, and its attributes and appearance were probably exactly the opposite of Xiao Tian.

"Xiao Tian, do you have any siblings?"

"Huh?" Xiao Tian tilted her head in confusion. "What siblings? I have predecessors. The spirits who wrote the Heavenly Dao Scrolls in the past are all my seniors~"

Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose. What worried him the most now was that if he could see Xiao Tian, would he also be able to see the spirit of Gu Mingxin's Heavenly Demonic Scroll?

If he could see it, and Gu Mingxin found that out...

"Nevermind, we'll see later... I'm going to bed."

"Would you like to sleep at Yu Die's place?"

"..."

Ye Anping paused for a moment and looked at Pei Lianxue, who was currently lying on his bed, curled up and sleeping soundly. He went and covered her with a quilt, then took a cushion and sat down cross-legged.

"I'm not going to sleep."
