Gurgle, gurgle...
Ye Anping felt water pouring into his buzzing ears, which was quite uncomfortable, and he couldn't hear clearly what the two girls were talking about on the water's surface.
He could barely hear a chatter of "woo hoo uh uh", and he couldn't detect anything with his spiritual sense either. After all, the layer of spiritual energy floating on the water was a natural barrier to his spiritual sense.
After a while, he calmed down and noticed the flawless white body in front of him.
The water in the spiritual pond was actually very clear. If it weren't for the milky layer of spiritual energy on the surface, you would be able to see the bottom directly.
Therefore, Xiao Yunluo's body was now completely exposed before his eyes.
Under the refraction, the outline of Xiao Yunluo's slender willow waist swayed slightly with the flow of water. There was not even an ounce of fat on her belly, and her body was white, firm, tender, and curvaceous. Everything was highlighted vividly by the spiritual glow of the water.
Ye Anping suddenly realized that the girls around him were almost identical in figure, perfect in every way, except for a slight difference in their belly buttons.
Li Longling's navel hadn't been tied properly and was crescent-shaped, but Xiao Yunluo's navel was symmetrical and full-moon-shaped, very similar to his sister's.
Ye Anping was curious about Feng Yu Die, so he turned his head to take a look. As a result, when he looked over, he unexpectedly noticed a long golden hair sticking out from her navel.
?
What was that?
At first, Ye Anping thought that this was just a mirage-like projection caused by the spiritual energy refraction in the water. However, after looking carefully, he realized something was wrong.
Over Feng Yu Die's belly button was really growing a fuzz with a golden glow.
A toxic parasite? Or was there something in the water?
Just as he was wondering, he saw that the hair began to grow out again.
In the next moment, Ye Anping felt that he could hear a "popping" sound. A head squeezed out from Feng Yu Die's navel and locked eyes with him.
"..."
Hiss -- it turned out to be this weird little guy.
It completely slipped his mind that if Feng Yu Die came, Xiao Tian had to come with her.
Although Ye Anping's expression was still calm, he really couldn't help it anymore when Xiao Tian did this. The air that was originally in his lungs went straight up into his mouth, bulging his cheeks into two balls.
"Grr---"
Sticking out from Feng Yu Die's belly, Xiao Tian looked at Ye Anping expressionlessly, and then its small eyes slowly moved down.
"..."
Xiao Tian stared for a while and raised her eyebrows, her face showing an unusual blush.
"Wow~..."
Gurgle -- Gurgle -- Gurgle---
Finding her expression funny, Ye Anping couldn't hold it in any longer. The air left his nostrils with a gurgle, and he wanted to rise to the surface.
His feet began to exert force, preparing to push him up.
...
At the water's surface, Xiao Yunluo felt Ye Anping trying to rise again, and seeing Feng Yu Die still nearby, she quickly exerted more force on Ye Anping's shoulder and forcibly pressed him down in the water.
-- Ye Anping! What are you doing? Stop moving around! The second idiot is still here!
She didn't believe that Ye Anping couldn't hold his breath. It shouldn't be a problem for a Foundation Building stage cultivator to hold their breath underwater for an hour.
She didn't want the matter of Ye Anping bathing with her to be known by others, but with Ye Anping desperately struggling to push himself up, she also couldn't hold him down anymore and had to shout to Feng Yu Die, "Second idiot! Get out of the water now!!"
"Huh?"
With a baffled look, Feng Yu Die lowered her chin, feeling aggrieved. She had been called here by Sister Xiao, but now Sister Xiao wanted to drive her out.
Why?
"Sister Xiao, what did I do to make you dislike me so much... I don't think I did something to make you angry?"
"You... it doesn't matter! Turn your back first!"
"Why?" Feng Yu Die tilted her head and said, "Sister Xiao, are you hurt? I can help you heal."
"I am not..."
Gurgle...
Suddenly, many bubbles appeared from the water in front of Xiao Yunluo's chest, and her voice abruptly stopped.
The west wind was rustling, and there was only the sound of bubbles in the pool.
Feng Yu Die was stunned and suddenly understood why Xiao Yunluo wanted her to leave.
"Sister Xiao, so you wanted to fart? It's okay... I don't mind. When I was little, I used to take baths with my master, and whenever I ate fried beans, I would keep farting loudly with gurgling bubbles. Every time a bubble popped up, my master would immediately throw me out of the water and send me to cultivate."
?
How can you talk about this so casually?!
Xiao Yunluo was livid, and her lips trembled slightly, but she didn't know what to say.
"..."
With a wistful face, Feng Yu Die leaned back and floated on the pool, looking at the sky and sighing. "But I still miss it. I used to take baths with my master, and she would even help me scrub my back. It's a pity that my master passed away two years ago."
Then, she grinned at Xiao Yunluo and asked again, "Sister Xiao, do you want me to help you scrub your back? My technique is very good, and I can clean it very well, hehe-"
"I..."
Xiao Yunluo was about to refuse, but at this moment, Ye Anping couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed her hand and directly performed a White Dragon Emerging from Water move.
Splash--
A handsome white dragon leaped out of the water, his waist-length black hair drawing a black arc across the surface of the water.
"Haa--"
Ye Anping opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, pushing his hair behind his head. At the same time, Xiao Tian chased after him from underwater, leaned into his ear, and scolded him. "You, kid, you still say you can't see me? You're intimidated by me, hmph~~ Come on admit it, you can see me! You and Yu Die are both the masters of the Heavenly Dao Scroll, you are destined for each other, a match made in heaven!"
"..."
Ye Anping ignored her, took a deep breath, glanced at Feng Yu Die who was a little further away with a shocked expression, and then came up with an excuse -- he couldn't control his breath, not because he was scared by Xiao Tian, but because he saw Xiao Yunluo.
So, he turned to look at Xiao Yunluo and said coldly, "Sister Xiao, don't be fooled by the white fog on the surface of this spiritual pool. It's actually very clear underwater."
"Huh?"
Xiao Yunluo had to process for a while before reacting. She immediately looked at the milky foam-like water covering her chest in disbelief. She quickly pinched her nose and sank her head into the water to take a look.
Seeing how clear and transparent it was below the water's surface, she also remembered her and Ye Anping's previous positions. Her cheeks were instantly on fire.
"Woo---"
But then again, was it because Ye Anping had seen her all, that he was flustered and couldn't hold his breath?
Xiao Yunluo turned her head to look at Ye Anping from the underwater perspective, but by now, he was already walking toward the shore, and she could only see a pair of firm buttocks.
Even though it was just buttocks, but...
Gurgle, gurgle...
Xiao Yunluo suddenly saw a burst of blood mist floating in front of her eyes, and the water in the spiritual pool rushed into her mouth and nostrils with a gurgling sound.
"Cough cough cough---"
Xiao Yunluo desperately waved her hands, trying to float up, but the more she struggled, the more she sank.
"Help... cough cough cough -- gulp gulp gulp --"
Ye Anping glanced at Xiao Yunluo struggling underwater and thought that she wouldn't drown for a while. As it happened, this was a good opportunity to divert Feng Yu Die's attention, so he looked at her and said, "Sister Feng, good evening. Sister Xiao is drowning, aren't you going to save her?"
"..."
Feng Yu Die looked at the upper half of Ye Anping's body that emerged from the water, and could only wonder: Turns out there is such a big difference between Young Master Ye's body and her own.
The abdominal muscles were very well-defined, and the sturdy waist gave a feeling of strength.
For a moment, she felt somewhat strange but still wanted to watch a little longer.
Looking at Feng Yu Die's fixed gaze, Ye Anping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do I look good?"
"Well, Young Master Ye, your body looks pretty good, but not as good as mine." Feng Yu Die grinned, showing her teeth. "Hehe---"
Ye Anping's eyes twitched, and he added, "...Do you want Sister Xiao to drown in this pool, or do you want to continue to look at me?"
!!
"Oops!!"
Feng Yu Die finally reacted and quickly paddled toward Xiao Yunluo, pulling her out from under the water and letting her lean against her body.
"Ah...cough cough cough---"
"Sister Xiao, calm down!! Breathe. Breathe slowly..."
"Cough..."
After Xiao Yunluo was fished out of the water, Feng Yu Die looked at Ye Anping again but found that he had disappeared, and under the starry sky, only a trail of light was left.
After a moment, Feng Yu Die came back to her senses and looked down at Xiao Yunluo, who was leaning on her shoulder and was now very weak and still spurting out water from her mouth. She said weakly, "Sister Xiao, why didn't you tell me that you were having a private meeting with Young Master Ye? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come down here; I would have just left."
"I... cough cough..."
Xiao Yunluo was so angry at her words that her eyes rolled back, and after taking a few breaths, she fainted.
"Ah...Sister Xiao, wake up!"
Floating in the air, Xiao Tian watched as Ye Anping left and floated back with a black face. Seeing that Xiao Yunluo was fine, she said, "Yu Die, do you think that kid Ye's body looks good?"
"Huh? It's pretty good. I've never seen a man's body before."
Xiao Tian nodded with satisfaction and explained, "Hmph~ There is a natural sense of strength in a man's body, which most women are attracted to. Can you imagine what it would be like to be held by him and how safe it would make you feel?"
Feng Yu Die thought for a while before shaking her head. "No, it's just a little wider and thicker. What kind of sense of security do you have? The sense of security still depends on this..."
She smiled and waved her clenched fists. "Young Master Ye can't beat me. To be honest, Sister Pei feels much safer than Young Master Ye."
"..."
Then, Feng Yu Die touched her belly, held her breath, and tightened her abdominal muscles. However, even though she held her breath until her face turned red, she couldn't make the muscles on her abdomen stand out.
After trying for a while, she gave up.
"Forget it... I'm not trying anymore."
"Yu Die, you were seen naked by Young Master Ye just now."
Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows. "Well... should I go and kill him? My master taught me before that if a man sees me naked, I should just cut him down without hesitation."
"No, I mean..."
Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes and sneered disdainfully. "Heh, don't think I can't tell you're just trying to set us up. Xiao Tian, let me say it again, I am wholeheartedly devoted to Sister Pei!! Hmph~ Besides..."
"Besides, what?"
"He has seen me, and I have seen him." Feng Yu Die put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "I didn't lose anything, huh!"
"No, you... you didn't see everything."
"Why didn't I see everything? One belly, two breasts, one head, two hands---I saw it all."
"He also has..."
"What else?"
"There's also..."
Xiao Tian pouted, recalling what she had seen underwater. Her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she jumped into the water.
"Don't ask me!! Silly Yu Die! Stupid Yu Die! Bad Yu Die!!!"
?
"How come everyone calls me names? Only Young Master Ye still calls me Sister Feng. Hey, but Sister Pei also likes to call me Second Idiot, which sounds quite sweet and intimate, hehe..."
...
The silver moon hung high in the sky, and the night wind whispered.
Ye Anping stood on the flying sword, dressing while driving it, feeling a deep resentment in his heart with nowhere to vent.
The reason he came here to take a bath was to settle and consolidate his cultivation. But, not only did he fail to do that, he also consumed some of his own spiritual energy for Xiao Yunluo.
However, there was also an unexpected benefit.
Xiao Yunluo told him that Yun Xi regarded him and Pei Lianxue as her father's illegitimate children.
In the game, the Moon Shadow Sword Sect plot had two prerequisite tasks.
Firstly, in the main storyline of the Emperor Sect, complete Yun Xi's series of quests and reach mid-level Foundation Building stage in cultivation.
Secondly, find a broken sword at the Wuxing Town Inn of the Emperor Sect in the Central Region .
But now, he didn't even get to the two preliminary tasks, and Yun Xi presented at his door on her own initiative.
Without a doubt, if he and Pei Lianxue met Yun Xi now, they would directly skip the two prerequisite tasks and be forced to get involved in the incidents of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
Moon Shadow Sword Sect's mission rewards were very generous. Originally, the two sets of sword techniques that he and Pei Lianxue had learned were also one of the rewards for the quest series. But now, it was still too early; at least they had to wait until they both reached the middle or late Foundation Building stage.
He decided to ignore it for the time being.
He had two things to do now. The first was to cure Li Longling's eyes, and the second was to take Liang Zhu and his daughter back to the Hundred Lotus Sect to settle down.
After that, he could also spend some time in seclusion with his sister while waiting for the plotline of the Emperor Sect to unfold before planning for the matters concerning the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
While contemplating his future plans, Ye Anping unknowingly returned to Duchun City .
Looking down, he saw that the lights in the Jiang Mansion had already dimmed, and the servants guarding the corridors were yawning. He climbed the back wall stealthily, like a scumbag husband who sneaked out for an affair in the middle of the night and then returned quietly. He then tiptoed to the window of his bedroom.
Seeing that there was no light on in the bedroom, he thought that his sister was probably already asleep.
When he reached the door, he saw that it was slightly ajar. It must have been left on purpose because his sister was afraid he wouldn't be able to get into the room when he came back at night.
"Hoo--"
Ye Anping sighed and pushed the door slightly with a creaking sound. He squeezed through sideways, then closed and locked it as quietly as possible.
Creak-- clack--
The moonlight shone into the house through the paper window with a bit of melancholy.
However, when Ye Anping walked to the side of the bed, he discovered that there were actually two people lying on their originally shared bed with one big lump and one small lump under the blanket.
"Hiss--"
He propped himself on the bed and pulled back a corner of the blanket, only to find Liang Ating burrowed in his sister's arms like a maggot.
Although he had previously told his sister to try taking care of Liang Ating, how did it end up with her directly hugging this girl to sleep?
The bed wasn't big, but Ating and his sister slept on it, so where should he sleep?
Ye Anping felt somewhat helpless. He glanced at his sister's face and was startled to find her staring at him with her large eyes.
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and whispered. "Brother, shush. Ating is sleeping."
"..."
It was true that his sister, who had been practicing hard and trained with him since childhood, would not be able to sleep well if he was not around and would wake up immediately if there was any disturbance.
Feeling helpless, Ye Anping asked, "Where do I sleep?"
"Squeeze in?"
"Fine."
He answered softly and then took off his shoes, ready to climb onto the bed and squeeze Ating in the middle. However, just as he got on the bed, Ating, who was still asleep, suddenly raised her hand and punched him in the face.
This little girl also infused some spiritual energy into her punch, causing a burst of fist wind.
Ye Anping reacted quickly, turning his head to avoid it, but his face darkened. He reached out and was about to lift Liang Ating by the collar and throw her out of the room.
However, just as he reached out to pull her, Liang Ating grabbed Pei Lianxue's waist and clung tightly.
"Don't take my mother!! I want to be with my mother... Sniff-- Woo--"
Two teardrops the size of beans seeped from her closed eyes.
Ye Anping's hand paused. It crossed his mind then that this girl, adopted by Liang Zhu, was probably the child of a refugee. Frowning, he let out a sigh and gently lay down beside her.
"This girl..."
Bang--
Liang Ating suddenly turned over and hit Ye Anping with the elbow in the face. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and raised his hand to catch it, otherwise the blow would have landed directly on the bridge of his nose.
Ye Anping's eyes twitched as he glared at Liang Ating. In the end, he couldn't hold back anymore. So, he stood up, grabbed her by the collar, lifted her off the bed, and took her outside the room before forcefully closing the door.
Bang---
The sound of the door closing startled Liang Ating. She rubbed her eyes drowsily and woke up.
She looked at the unfamiliar surroundings for a while, then simply walked back to her yard in a daze.
...
After lying back on the bed, Pei Lianxue didn't say anything. She just squeezed into his arms and said, "Brother, I will begin to teach Ating how to practice tomorrow. I asked her, and she agreed. She looked very happy."
"...Does Brother Liang know?"
"I told Brother Liang too, and he also agreed to leave Ating's cultivation to me in the future."
Brother Liang, I hope you won't regret it ... Ye Anping pursed his mouth but didn't say anything. After all, he would be watching from the side. As long as he would prevent his sister from causing problems with Ating's training, it would be fine.
In any case, if his sister wanted to try, let her do it. It would be beneficial to Ating, even if it might be a little painful.
"Well... let's go to sleep now. I will go and treat Li Longling's eyes after a few days of rest."
"I'll go too."
"Alright..."
Ye Anping nodded without thinking much, unaware that just now Liang Ating had asked about Pei Liangxue's little 'comic' book, which reminded her that her brother had told her to ask Sister Xiao about it.
Just as well, they would go together in a few days.
Hmm...
