The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

It was getting late, and the stars were already shining in the sky which was not yet completely dark.

The west side of Heavenly Gate City was brightly lit, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

After leaving the execution ground, Ye Anping accompanied Feng Yu Die to buy another roasted chicken, and they strolled back toward the inn leisurely, enjoying the bustling night market.

Walking beside him, while eating her chicken, Feng Yu Die looked up at Ye Anping. "Master Ye, are you sure she will agree to help?"

"I'm sure."

Ye Anping glanced at her, sighing. "She had eavesdropped on Liang Zhu and me talking about those past events of the Imperial Sect back then. She is originally a Dao cultivator with integrity, and based on her master's teachings, she will definitely come to negotiate with me."

"A thief with integrity?"

Ye Anping nodded. "Do you know why a thief can still be labeled as an 'Immortal'?"

As Feng Yu Die chewed on the roasted chicken, she thought about it, then shook her head slightly. "I don't know."

"This is also a kind of inheritance, just like your Heavenly Dao Scroll. Immortal thieves will not rob the poor and the suffering, and they have their own moral code. You can check the title of Immortal Thief in the Heavenly Dao Scroll later. Look at who was the first Immortal Thief in the world and what he had done."

As soon as these words fell, Xiao Tian emerged from Feng Yu Die's head and answered, "During the war between the three races of humans, demons, and beasts tens of thousands of years ago, an ancient cultivator named Bai used the Heavenly Picking Technique to steal the treasures of the three races and hide them in an unknown place. This resulted in a truce between the three races for nearly a thousand years, preventing tens of thousands of acres of mountains and rivers from being destroyed in the war."

Xiao Tian stood on Feng Yu Die's head and crossed her arms, with an attitude of "Praise me quickly".

Ye Anping paused for a moment and nodded. "Right. The title of the Immortal Thief started from him, and now it has been passed on to Su Waner. And after today, it will continue to be passed on to other people from Su Waner."

Feng Yu Die also understood when she heard this. "Oh! In the Heavenly Star Mountain right?"

"Well, those who have an affinity with the Immortal Thief Bai can obtain his inheritance in the Western Region's Heavenly Star Mountain."

Speaking of this, Ye Anping couldn't help but think. In the game, the Immortal Thief's legacy was passed on to the one playing the role of the Banished Amnesiac Immortal...

At the end of the game's Imperial Sect mainline, under Feng Yu Die's advice, Su Waner would quit.

After that, the player could receive a side mission from her called "Immortal Thief Heritage", and then go to Heavenly Star Mountain in the Western Region to get the title of "The Immortal Thief" and a fox-masked avatar.

This was one of the game's collection elements, and it completed the Immortal Thief's background.

It's just that in the game, the one who issued the quest was the Immortal Thief, and the one who received the quest was the player.

But now, he had become the one who issued the quest, and those who accepted it were all the rogue cultivators in the world.

Ye Anping's move, in fact, had another purpose, and that was to try and find the Banished Amnesiac Immortal character from the game.

Although it was said that players in the early stage did not have any interaction with Feng Yu Die and basically just followed her path, he also remembered that if the players created a female character, Feng Yu Die might even flirt with them.

However, it had been almost four years since he carried the Mandate of Heaven in this world, and he had yet to see the shadow of the Banished Amnesiac Immortal.

Maybe it wasn't there at all, or maybe, because of what he did, that person turned into a random passerby.

And because Immortal Thief's legacy didn't impact much, Ye Anping wanted to use it as bait.

If there was a character who could get the legacy of the Immortal Thief from Heavenly Star Mountain, then there was a high probability that it was the character played in the game. However, as for the spirit of the character, it had yet to be discovered.

But one thing was certain, that person was definitely not a time traveler like him.

Otherwise, it was impossible not to have interacted with that person until now. After all, if he was also a former player, he must have discovered that he, the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, was still alive at this time.

Ye Anping put away his thoughts and looked at the lights on the street, saying, "Sister Feng, practice the Black Moon Routine diligently and make sure you reach at least the third level before the Demon King comes to the city, got it?"

Seeing Ye Anping urging her again, Feng Yu Die pouted and complained. "Okay, okay! I know! I'm practicing! Why are you like an old lady, urging me every day!"

"When I'll stop urging you..." Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her. "That means the situation is hopeless, and you are about to die."

"Oh!"

Feng Yu Die puffed out her cheeks and looked at Ye Anping's face. Suddenly, a light bulb went on in her head, and she quickly pulled out the rouge she bought this morning from her storage bag.

?

"What?"

"You try it."

Without another word, Feng Yu Die smeared up some rouge on her hands and applied it to Ye Anping's lips.

The fingers smeared with the light red powder lightly touched Ye Anping's lips, and his pale lips were suddenly dyed with a charming and fragrant color.

Feng Yu Die looked at him closely and immediately covered her mouth and snickered: "Hehehe, Young Master Ye, you look pretty good with rouge."

"..."

Ye Anping slightly pursed his rouge-painted lips, then grabbed Feng Yu Die's face and pulled it into a flat pie.

"Sister Feng, you are more and more daring, aren't you?"

"Ay~ Ay ay ay! Ouch, ouch... I was wrong, I was wrong... Stop pulling!!"

Ye Anping, somewhat helplessly let go of Feng Yu Die's face, and wanted to reprimand her a little more, but Feng Yu Die suddenly grabbed a bit of rouge again, reached out, and directly smeared it onto Ye Anping's face. She then turned around and dashed away.

"You~~~"

"..."

Looking at Feng Yu Die running away like a naughty little girl, Ye Anping felt tired. He glanced at Xiao Tian floating by his head and saw her covering her mouth and snickering, then sighed. "Sigh--"

"Anping, in the past, Yu Die often used to draw turtle pictures on her master's face while her master was meditating. This means that she regards you as her master, which is a good thing!"

Ye Anping wiped the rouge from his face with his hand, shook his head, and followed slowly.

Little did he know that, not far behind, Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue, wearing two masks bought on the street, stood at the entrance of a dark alley after following them all the way from the Southern District to here.

Pei Lianxue bit her lip lightly. "Yunluo, I have the feeling that my brother and the second idiot have been very close to each other recently."

"Ah... no way, Ye Anping is so kind to you, how could he be like that to other girls?"

"But..." Pei Lianxue looked down at Xiao Yunluo in front of her. "I have a feeling."

"Eh? What feeling?"

"That someone is seducing my brother."

Xiao Yunluo looked away and, after a moment of silence, asked, "Why do you think so?"

"It's just a feeling..." Pei Lianxue lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly looked into Xiao Yunluo's eyes. "Yunluo, you didn't seduce my brother last night, did you? You two stayed in the same room for a whole night..."

Xiao Yunluo froze for a moment, then said, "I...certainly not. I woke up in the middle of the night... how could I seduce him... and I don't like Ye Anping, so why would I seduce him?"

The parrot, perched on Xiao Yunluo's shoulder, tilted its head slightly. "Jade..."

Only one word got out before Xiao Yunluo stretched out her hand and grabbed its beak, causing it to swallow the rest of the words. Anxiously,  she said, "Parrot, I'll buy you some dried fish later..."

Hearing this, the parrot paused and flapped its wings. "No seduction!! No seduction!!"
