A warm drizzle arrived unexpectedly, covering the peaks of theSect with a layer of ethereal mist like a white veil.
The raindrops hit the wooden window with thesymbol on it, causing Ye Anping to open his eyes slowly. As he woke up, he felt half of his body tingling.
Looking down, his sister lay quietly on his chest, smiling sweetly in her dream. Her body rose and fell slightly with her calm breathing.
Ye Anping looked at her lovingly and brushed away her sweat-drenched hair that had stuck to her cheeks last night. This seemed to wake up the sleeping little beauty, and Pei Lianxue opened her eyes in a daze.
"...Brother, hehe---"
"Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"Uhm..."
Pei Lianxue nodded slightly, her clear eyes shifting left and right, and she wriggled upward on her brother's chest to offer him a morning kiss.
"Hee hee..."
"Silly girl."
"Silly girl belongs to brother, hee hee---"
Ye Anping gently pinched her cheek, and then lay down, looking at the ceiling of the bridal chamber decorated with pearl powder and red jade. He slowly cleared his mind, letting his sister rub her cheek on his chest.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled the first time with her.
She simply buried him in the ground at that time...
Since then, dual cultivation with his sister has gradually become a habit. So many years had passed, but he never got tired of this good feeling.
The two stayed in bed. Although they didn't want to sleep anymore, they didn't want to get up and separate. They wished they could hug like this forever.
Of course, this was unrealistic...
There were still many things waiting for them to do: serve tea to Ye Ao and Kong Yulan, go to the ancestral hall to burn incense and pay respects to the ancestors of the Ye family, add Pei Lianxue to the Ye family's genealogy, receive congratulations from all the guests...
After a while, a creaking sound reached their ears.
Xiaodie gently pushed open the door and smiled as she peered in. Seeing that the two of them had finally woken up, she brought in new clothes, bedding, and bed sheets from outside and urged, "Young Master, Madam Pei, it's already afternoon! Patriarch Ye and the others have been waiting for you to serve tea for a whole morning. Get up quickly~~"
Ye Anping smiled helplessly. "Ordinary people only offer tea on the second day. As for cultivators, it is normal to stay in the bridal chamber for seven or eight days, not to mention that I'm acultivator..."
"One night is enough after the wedding ceremony." Xiaodie pursed her lips and reached out to pull the quilt draped behind Pei Lianxue. "From now on, you can be in the bridal chamber every day, but today is different! Go and serve tea quickly. Commander Fu Xuan, Elder Tong, and the others are waiting for you, the newlyweds, in the."
Xiaodie lifted the quilt with one hand, and when she saw the situation underneath, she raised her eyebrows, and her eyes widened slightly.
Ye Anping was a little embarrassed, and he quickly sat up with his sister in his arms, using her to cover himself. "What are you looking at?"
Xiaodie covered her mouth and smiled evilly, using her fingers to compare. "When you were a child, and I helped you and little Pei take a bath, you were only that small, but now you are so big..."
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her. "Go away!"
Xiaodie grinned before picking up a rag from the side and wetting it with hot water. "Okay! Come on, I'll help you wipe your body, then change your clothes and comb your hair..."
"We can do it ourselves."
"Young Master has grown up and doesn't let me help him wipe his body and change clothes. I'm so sad..."
"Hiss-- you girl."
"Okay, just kidding. I've been with you since you were a child, I know your temper. I'll wait outside~"
Xiaodie narrowed her eyes, nodding and saluting the two, then skipped to the door of the bridal chamber and closed it.
"Take your time..."
Ye Anping shook his head. When he was a child, he never ordered Xiaodie around like a maid. Moreover, although he was a Young Master of a sect, he only had Xiaodie as a maid.
In the past, the territory of theSect was very small, and his house was not big either. It was not a big deal for Xiaodie alone to help him and Pei Lianxue clean up, but now there were many pavilions on the.
It seemed that he would have to spend some spirit stones in the future to hire some kids practicing Alchemy and Talisman cultivation to help her clean this place. Furthermore, Xiao Yunluo and Yun Yiyi would most likely stay here from time to time in the future.
Ye Anping sighed lightly and glanced at his sister, who was sitting on his lap and staring at him blankly, and he asked, "Let's change our clothes?"
"Uhm..."
The two smiled at each other, stood up naked, and went behind the screen on one side of the room while holding hands. They helped each other wipe their bodies with hot water, change clothes, and comb their hair.
Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue put on theSect Young Master's uniform and the Young Master's wife's long dress that Ye Ao and Kong Yulan specially prepared for them before walking out of the bridal chamber hand in hand.
Under the light rain, the golden early-autumn scenery on the peaks of theSect greeted them. The faint musty smell of the vegetation and the rain beads made them both feel like they were reborn.
When they walked down the stairs from the pavilion and came to the lobby on the first floor, Mr. Qi, Elder Lei, Bai Yuexin, Elder Wang, and other disciples and Elders of theSect were already sitting there chatting and playing chess.
Because Pei Lianxue and Ye Anping were newly married, Mr. Qi and the others didn't say too much, and basically just wished them well.
But after chatting for a while, Ye Anping understood what they had not said directly.
Now that theSect's Patriarch had reversed to ordinary world status, the Immortal Family had lost acultivator, and although thedemonic cultivators also suffered a heavy loss, time wouldn't stop because of their marriage.
As a major sect of the Immortal Family, theSect had to be even more vigilant than usual at this time.
Mr. Qi and his companions also took a day out of their busy schedule to attend the banquet. After greeting Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue, Bai Yuexin came over to hug them, and then they left thes Sect to rush back to theSect.
Ye Anping and his sister stood at the door of the pavilion with an umbrella, and they looked at the people flying away. He thought of the "Bai Yue" spiritual sword.
In the past, he was only in thestage, and to kill acultivator, he had to rely on the. However, now he was also acultivator.
Thecould not fully unleash in his hands.
So, he took it out of the storage bag and handed it to Pei Lianxue. "Sister, this sword will stay with you from now on."
"Eh? But what about you?"
"Sister Bai forged a good spiritual sword for me, I can use that. You can use Master's sword much better than me."
"Okay!"
Ye Anping and his sister shared a red paper umbrella, and Xiaodie followed them with a smile. The three of them leisurely walked along themountain road in the light rain, crossed the iron chain wooden bridge connecting the peaks, and walked hand in hand to theof theSect.
The couple had tea and chatted with the leaders of the various sects in the pavilion, as well as Ye Ao and Kong Yulan before heading to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ye family...
There were a lot of miscellaneous things, and Pei Lianxue was kept by Kong Yulan, who wanted to ask about some of her and Ye Anping's previous experiences so that they could be compiled into a book and recorded in the family tree, such as where and under what circumstances the first time was...
Ye Anping wanted to wait by the side but was shooed away by his mother, who said that these things were discussed privately by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...
He didn't know much about these customs, so he didn't comment.
When he came out of the pavilion, it was already dusk, and the unexpected drizzle had stopped, leaving only clear water puddles in front of the temple.
Ye Anping looked into the distance and pulled his thoughts away from his marriage, contemplating the future.
At present, his sister's cultivation was about to enter thestage, and he had to start preparing for the process with formations, spiritual land, natural materials, and treasures...
If there was anything missing, he could also go to Xuanji to ask for it. It was not a difficult thing.
Then, there was the matter of theand Gu Mingxin.
Because a severed hand was not very auspicious, he hung it in the cave where chickens were kept in the back mountain before the wedding and let it play with them.
Gu Mingxin was a bridge he prepared for himself and Mo Chi Ling, who was the secret weapon he wanted to use to fight against Yu Yan.
Originally, according to the game plot, Feng Yu Die would come into contact with Mo Chi Ling a long time after going to the, but Gu Mingxin met with Mo Chi Ling in advance, so he could shorten this time using this fact.
In any case, he had to focus on forming his sister'snow.
He had plenty of time to write the strategy plan for the demonic sects.
Ye Anping scratched the back of his head as his thoughts shifted to Feng Yu Die from yesterday. Thinking back to that "surprise", he felt angry and restless.
Feng Yu Die wanted to marry him? And to practice dual cultivation with him?
Thinking of her appearance from yesterday, it seemed to be true.
Pinching his nose bridge, he stepped on his flying sword and went straight to the guest hall on the hillside of the. After exchanging a few pleasantries with some guests he met, he landed in a courtyard of a separate house.
At a window of the house, Feng Yu Die leaned on the window sill, looking at the dim sky in a daze. Her silver hair was scattered on her back, and she was changed back into the white dress she usually liked to wear.
Seeing Ye Anping coming down on his sword, Feng Yu Die's eyes lit up, and she jumped out of the window in one step, running over to him. "Young Master Ye!!!"
Ye Anping frowned. Seeing that he seemed quite angry, Feng Yu Die's originally happy smile slowly disappeared, and she stopped in front of him, shrinking her neck.
"Young Master Ye... are you angry?"
"You failed to live up to the roasted chicken I prepared for you."
"..."
Ye Anping poked Feng Yu Die's forehead with his finger, closed his eyes, and exhaled a long breath, then looked around with a frown. "Where is Xiao Tian?"
Feng Yu Die tilted her head. "Isn't she with you? She didn't come back to me last night..."
Ye Anping took a deep breath and called out, "Xiao Tian!!"
"..."
"Xiao Tian, come out!!"
"..."
However, after calling a few times, Xiao Tian did not flash from his or Feng Yu Die's head in a golden light as she used to when she stood above their heads with her arms crossed.
Ye Anping narrowed his eyes and looked at Feng Yu Die. "Is she hiding?"
Feng Yu Die quickly shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. "Woo ←→←→..."
Ye Anping stared at Feng Yu Die for a while, thinking that she would not hide the culprit. He lowered his eyes in thought for a while, and he suddenly remembered the ice-blue spiritual energy that streaked across the starry sky like a ray last night.
Although it was unlikely, but...
Without a word, Ye Anping stepped on his flying sword again, turned around, and flew upward in the sky.
"Hey? Young Master Ye... where are you going?... Hey, I... I'm coming too!"
Feng Yu Die quickly summoned her flying sword, chasing after him. She broke through the air with Ye Anping, flew across the, and continued to head east.
Because his sister cut off half of the mountain with one sword yesterday, Ye Waner and Liang Zhu took a few disciples to investigate the cause of this incident.
Seeing Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die coming, Liang Zhu hurriedly flew over with his sword and called him. "Sixth Brother."
"No casualties?"
Liang Zhu shrugged slightly. "There are only barren mountains around here, and the terrain is very dangerous. There are no villages or towns of ordinary people or cultivators, only a few low-level spirit beasts living there."
"That's good... Call the disciples back, no need to search."
Ye Anping looked at the disciples wandering in the mountains and forests, then glanced at Feng Yu Die who followed behind him, and he found an excuse. "My sister was too happy yesterday, so she split the mountain with one sword to liven up the atmosphere."
"..."
Feng Yu Die lowered her head with some guilt, not daring to speak.
?
Liang Zhu was stunned, a huge question mark appearing on his head, and he raised his eyebrows. "Ye Tianchong and Pei Crack-Stone?"
"..."
"What did you two do? Created the world?"
?
Ye Anping choked but didn't say anything.
Liang Zhu laughed, then waved his hand to call the disciples back before leaving with them and Ye Waner to the.
After watching them fly away, Ye Anping glanced at Feng Yu Die, who was beside him.
Feng Yu Die lowered her head when she saw his gaze, and after a long time, she whispered. "I'm sorry... but I really want to marry you..."
Ye Anping didn't respond, but he lowered his eyes to look at the surrounding peaks and the ten thousand acres of maple forest thousands of feet below them, which was as bright red as the.
After looking for a while, he suddenly caught sight of a small golden dot in a gap between the maple leaves and rushed over on his sword.
After the two flew about a thousand feet, they gently landed on the ground covered with maple leaves.
Their footsteps sounded on the leaves.
After walking a few steps, they finally saw Xiao Tian, who was now lying in a pile of maple leaves, with two red marks from tears at the corners of her eyes. Her small chest and abdomen heaved up and down with her rapid breathing.
The weak panting made Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die widen their eyes involuntarily.
The two hurriedly approached and saw an ice-blue sword mark, extending vertically from under her left eye to the cheek.
Two golden eyes opened wide. Although her eyes were not injured, they showed a lot of pain...
The wound glowed with golden light, which seemed to be the origin ofspiritual energy.
The completely unexpected situation shocked Ye Anping.
His sister slashed Xiao Tian, whom ordinary people couldn't touch or even feel, with one blow?!
Sister definitely can't see her...
Not even Si Xuanji could feel her existence; otherwise, with her temperament, she would have taken her home to play with her...
Ye Anping frowned as he slowly squatted down and took Xiao Tian in his palm from the maple leaves. "What happened?"
Xiao Tian was the spirit of the, and it could almost be said to be an extension of theitself.
Since his sister slashed Xiao Tian, did it also mean that she could split thewith the sword?
With only her late-stagecultivation?
This had nothing to do with cultivation. There should be other reasons...
Ye Anping lowered his eyes and thought, then looked at Feng Yu Die who was standing there. "Give your spiritual energy to Xiao Tian."
"Ah... Oh!"
Feng Yu Die quickly reached out and covered Xiao Tian with both hands. A golden spiritual energy flowing from her palms wrapped around Xiao Tian, and after a while, the weak expression on her face improved.
Seeming to be frightened, she slowly sat up from Ye Anping's hands, knelt down, and lowered her head.
"Who told you to provoke my sister?"
"Don't make excuses."
Xiao Tian pursed her lips and lowered her head guiltily.
Ye Anping calmly watched Feng Yu Die's energy pour into Xiao Tian's body, the vertical scar under her right eyebrow slowly healing and finally forming a dark scar. Then, he let out a long breath. "Heh--- how good would it be if you used your little tricks in the right way?"
"..."
"Reflect on yourself for a few months, and don't even think about living in my mind for now."
With her head lowered, Xiao Tian nodded, seemingly scared by Pei Lianxue.
After a long pause, she asked,
"Maybe I trained her well?"
"You should be glad that thewas not with her at that time. My sister only had a few spare swords in her bag at that time. Otherwise, it's hard to say what could have happened..."
"..."
Xiao Tian imagined it, and she couldn't stop a shiver running down her spine.
Pei Lianxue was so scary...
But the next moment, she seemed to sense something, and her eyes slightly widened. She turned her head to look into the distance and raised her finger to point over.
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Ye Anping immediately looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Tian.
The sky had just cleared up at dusk, but a dark snow cloud suddenly appeared, pressing straight toward theSect.
A plump woman in a golden robe was flying fast in the air.
Although Ye Anping could not see her face clearly, he recognized her identity after the snow cloud and the golden robe.
"Sun Juehu..."
At this moment, Ye Anping frowned tightly.
Sun Juehu was now close to theSect, so Si Xuanji should have noticed her.
This was the, Si Xuanji's home.
In the, even if all the livingcultivators were added together, they might not be able to defeat Si Xuanji.
He wasn't worried that Sun Juehu would do something audacious unless she wanted to trade her life for theSect, but she didn't have such a reason now.
Ye Anping closed his eyes and rubbed his brow, watching Sun Juehu pass over his head. She also saw him and Feng Yu Die, narrowed her eyes, and smiled faintly at them, then continued to head toward theof theSect.
"Tsk, a dagger hidden behind the smile..."
