The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

The night stars in the sky above brightly illuminated the western side of the city.

Most of the tea and wine drinkers in the street were talking about the dragon and the python that appeared in the Eastern District this afternoon. The storytellers frightened them, making the incident even more mysterious.

In order to not cause a great commotion, the Justice Division did not make the appearance of the demonic cultivator public. As for the black python that appeared on the street, they said that it was only the city guard's fault for accidentally letting in an elite Demon Clan soldier.

Although the entry of a top Demon Clan soldier into the city would also worry many people, fortunately, due to Ye Anping's careful planning, there were no casualties and the issue did not escalate; it only added a little flame to the already serious atmosphere.

...

On the second floor of the Flowing Moon Inn in the Western District, inside room number two of the Heavenly Character wing.

At this moment, a spiritual stone lamp was lit on the desk. Ye Anping sat on a round stool next to the bed and quietly looked at Xiao Yunluo, who was lying on the bed and had not woken up yet. He felt a little guilty as he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Yunluo's current situation was very strange.

After he brought Xiao Yunluo back to the house, he stayed by her side, and every time he lit another incense stick, he would check her pulse and use his spiritual sense to explore her meridians.

However, judging from the results of his probing, Xiao Yunluo was not injured or poisoned. Her neck was only scratched by Gu Mingxin's sword, and there was no toxic energy in her body. The spiritual energy depleted by the protective spell had now been replenished by the recovery pills.

Logically speaking, Xiao Yunluo should have woken up around dusk.

But...

Ye Anping turned to look out the window. The moon was almost overhead, but Xiao Yunluo was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and there was no movement at all.

This worried him a little.

The protection spell that Si Xuanji placed on Xiao Yunluo was indeed a very powerful spiritual spell.

In the mid to late stages of the game, Feng Yu Die's carelessness caused Xiao Yunluo to face a demonic cultivator in the Deification stage. This protective spell helped her to block the demonic cultivator's several spiritual treasure attacks without any injury and also attracted her mother, who slapped the demonic cultivator into oblivion.

However, there was no detailed description of this protective spell in the game.

Ye Anping only knew that it was very powerful and that it was like a tool for summoning the old loli.

But now, looking at Xiao Yunluo, who had not woken up yet, he was wondering if there could be any side effects. After all, the most powerful spiritual techniques had some similar prices.

If there really were side effects and Xiao Yunluo wouldn't wake up in the future, how should he explain to Si Xuanji later?

It would be strange if Si Xuanji didn't whip his ass.

Yunluo was the daughter she had worked hard to hatch for a whole year in the back mountain of the Black Star Sect.

"Sigh--"

Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little helpless. He couldn't find anything wrong, but he was still afraid that there might be something.

Could she be...

Faking it?

At this thought, he slightly narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he simply stood up, came to the side of the bed, and bent down, bringing his face close.

With his index finger and thumb, he opened Xiao Yunluo's eyelids and asked softly, "Sister Xiao? You're not pretending to sleep, are you?"

"..."

There was a glimmer in those lavender eyes, but they were not focused on his face, nor did she look like she was pretending.

Ye Anping had the absurd idea to find something to keep her eyelids open. If she could hold on for half an hour without blinking, then she must really be still asleep...

However, he quickly gave up this mischievous idea.

Xiao Yunluo had helped him so much today, and he had to make up for it no matter what.

Knock knock---

"Brother."

Pei Lianxue's voice came from outside the door. Ye Anping quickly closed Yunluo's eyelids and stood up. "Come in."

Pei Lianxue seemed to have just come back from the Justice Division Office. She was still wearing the clothes she had in the afternoon, and there was still blood on them from the black python.

"How is it going on Brother Liang's side?"

"Well, it's nothing particularly important. Just repairing the streets and city gates, writing reports, and so on. I helped him with some of it, and then he said he could do the rest himself."

Ye Anping nodded in understanding. At that time, the whole street was destroyed by Gu Mingxin's black python, and there were many chores such as reporting and giving out compensation, so he asked Pei Lianxue to go over and help.

Although Pei Lianxue didn't seem too bright, she was actually very skilled at paperwork. In the past, she would occasionally be asked by Ye Ao to help with the documents.

Ye Anping looked behind her and was surprised to see that Feng Yu Die was not following her. "Well, where is Sister Feng?"

"She accompanied me to deal with the paperwork but fell asleep in the middle of it."

"Then..."

"Well, I didn't wake her. She is still sleeping in Brother Liang's study."

"She was indeed tired today." Ye Anping felt a little helpless, feeling that his sister had always been abusing Feng Yu Die. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Sister, you should rest early too. You must have consumed a lot of spiritual energy."

"I'm okay..."

Pei Lianxue shook her head, glanced at Xiao Yunluo, who was lying on her brother's bed, and asked, "Yunluo hasn't woken up yet?"

"Yeah, I'm not sure of the situation... She has been sleeping since I brought her back. I checked several times and couldn't find out the reason."

"In that case... do you want to go to my room to rest?" Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and leaned forward as she gently grabbed his hand. "That... Second Id-... Sister Feng is not here today, and besides, what if your yang energy suddenly acts up again..."

"Huh?" Ye Anping was surprised. "Why do you think there will be a sudden problem with my yang energy?"

"Because every time you finish something, there's always something wrong with your yang energy. I'm not stupid. I've always noticed." Pei Lianxue took out a small notebook from her storage bag and continued, "The first time was at the back mountain of the Black Star Sect. Then, a few times at the Dragon House, every time you fought with someone, your yang energy got out of control..."

Ye Anping did not expect her to remember everything in detail. He glanced at the notebook and found that she seemed to have figured out the patterns of his yang energy problems a long time ago. She even drew diagrams and wrote a lot of annotations in her notebook.

"When did you start noticing?"

"Right from the start. I was worried about you..." Pei Lianxue smiled. "Since you don't tell me when you have difficulties, that's all I can do. Brother, you can also rely on me more. Don't keep everything in your heart."

Ye Anping returned the notebook to her and scratched her nose. "Don't worry about it. Anyway, forget it for today, I'll stay with Sister Xiao, okay? She was frightened. If she wakes up in the middle of the night, it won't be good if there's no one around."

Pei Lianxue turned to look at Xiao Yunluo on the bed. "Shall I stay with you too? Yunluo is also my friend, and I want to accompany her."

"No need. You are also tired, go to bed early."

Ye Anping declined softly, then gently held her face, bringing her cheek forward. Pei Lianxue moistened her lips knowingly, closed her eyes, and stood on tiptoes.

Chirp~~

Their lips touched.

Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Yunluo, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes a slit and looked toward them. Her slightly dry lips opened, but when the two separated, she hurriedly closed her eyes again, pretending that nothing had happened.

Pei Lianxue landed on her heels, blushing as she tasted the fragrance left by her brother on her lips with the tip of her tongue. Then, she turned and walked out. "Good night, brother."

"Sleep well."

After watching his sister leave, Ye Anping sighed slightly, then walked back to the round stool beside the bed and sat down. He glanced at Xiao Yunluo, then took out some books from the storage bag and started reading.
