At five o'clock in the morning, the winter cicadas were chirping.
After coming out of the prison, Ye Anping took Feng Yu Die back to the bedroom, gathered his energy, and rested for a while. Then, he lit a spirit stone lamp, sat at the desk by the window, and marked the map of Heavenly Sorrow City with an ink pen.
It would take about three days for Moon Shadow Sword Sect to reach the city, so in the next three days, he still had to maintain his lustful "Liang Daliu" persona. Naturally, he couldn't go back to the Blood Prison Mansion every day to take care of Feng Yu Die and Yun Jiujiu.
Therefore, he also had to explain the next actions to Feng Yu Die clearly.
"Yu Die, you have to go to the city gate by yourself and find a way to open it, so that the disciples of the Sword Sect can enter the city and kill the demonic cultivators. As for Yun Jiujiu, just let her do what I said before and cause a ruckus."
"Well… what will you do, Young Master Ye?"
"Gu Mingxin and I will go directly to Gong Yimo. If you are fast, come to help. I estimate that there will be at least seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators to protect him."
Ye Anping lowered his eyes and pointed at the map, drawing a route, and then looked at Xiao Tian who was holding the Heavenly Dao Scroll, taking notes seriously. "Xiao Tian, you will act according to the circumstances when the time comes. This route is only for reference."
"Okay! I understand..."
Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die, and just like before, he took out several brocade treasure bags he had written long ago from the storage bag and put them on the table, patiently reminding her. "If there is a situation that I haven't mentioned, just look at these brocade bags, understand?"
"Okay!"
Feng Yu Die picked up the dozen brocade bags as if they were treasures, and put them in the storage bag, preparing to take time to look at them one by one later. She looked up at Ye Anping's face and giggled twice. "Hehe..."
Ye Anping shook his head slightly and was ready to go out of the Blood Prison Mansion and return to Gu Mingxin. Thinking that she should be awake by now, he turned and walked toward the window. "If you have anything to say, let Xiao Tian come and tell me, I'm going there first, and I probably won't be back in the next few days. You and Yun Jiujiu take care here..."
"Ah..."
Hearing Ye Anping say that he would not be back in the next few days, the smile on Feng Yu Die's face froze.
Seeing Ye Anping walk to the window and put on the mask, she hurried over and gently held Ye Anping's hand. "Master Ye..."
"Hmm?"
Pursing her lips, Feng Yu Die lowered her head and smiled nervously. "Can I kiss you? I won't see you for several days..."
Ye Anping, who had half opened the window, fell silent. Seeing that he didn't speak, Feng Yu Die shrank her neck again and whispered, "If you don't want to, then you can hug me..."
"..."
Without comparison, you can't know the difference.
Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die's shy appearance and unconsciously compared it with Gu Mingxin's domineering behavior.
In theory, if Feng Yu Die forced him, he would still not be able to struggle and would have to resign to his fate.
But now, as long as he didn't agree, Feng Yu Die would probably accept it, at most puffing up her cheeks while backing off.
—Be nicer to her.
Thinking so, Ye Anping exhaled lightly and pulled the window back, closing it.
Creaky——Click.
The friction of the window pin made Feng Yu Die's eyes light up.
She raised her head and closed her eyes, leaning toward Ye Anping with expectation.
Ye Anping hesitated but raised his right hand and tucked her silver locks beside her ear before lowering his body slightly and closing his eyes.
Their lips met.
Chirp——
After three breaths, they separated.
Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Is it okay?"
"Yeah! It's okay... Hehe——" Feng Yu Die narrowed her eyes with a smile. "Young Master Ye, you should be careful too."
"Yeah..."
Ye Anping nodded. He pulled up the black scarf covering his face, pushed open the window, and climbed onto the roof. He carefully looked at the maids patrolling in the night around Blood Prison Mansion until he found an opportunity to jump along the eaves of the buildings, then rushed back to the Princess's Mansion.
After Feng Yu Die watched Ye Anping leaping away, she closed the window like a lady who was sending her lover away after an affair at night. As if nothing had happened, she walked back to the map he had just marked, opened the brocade bags given by Ye Anping one by one with a serious face, and followed the map route to think about what she would do next.
Her golden eyes narrowed slightly as if the light of a sword spirit flowed in her pupils.
Her silver hair was scattered as if she was a fairy in the mortal world.
When Xiao Tian saw this, she was a little surprised. It was rare to see her Yu Die act so seriously. She landed on the table and asked, "Yu Die, what's wrong?"
Feng Yu Die turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"
"It feels like you suddenly became a different person. Yu Die, you've grown up~"
"Master Ye said I'm cuter when I'm serious. And..." Feng Yu Die lowered her eyes and said in a worried tone, "The matter of the Northern Region... and the previous time in Brilliance City, Master Ye was seriously injured. I don't want him to be injured again."
Feng Yu Die raised her hand and placed it on her chest gently. "Maybe I liked him from the beginning, not Sister Pei..."
Xiao Tian smiled like an old mother, twisting her body in a mushy way. "Ah~~"
"What are you laughing at? Use your golden brain and think about whether there is something that Master Ye didn't think of."
...
At the same time.
In the back bedroom of the Princess's Mansion, Gong Tianchan's head and body were lying on the edge of the bed like before. The blood on the ground had already solidified in layers.
Gu Mingxin was lying naked on the bed. Thanks to her natural demonic body, her recovery speed was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.
At this moment, her consciousness gradually awakened. Her eyelashes moved, and she slowly opened her confused red eyes, looking at the ceiling above the eight-step couch in a daze, her mind a mess.
She remembered that Ye Anping asked her to lie down.
Then...
"Mingxin, are you awake?"
While Gu Mingxin was still recalling what happened just now, Xue'e broke into her sight, looking helpless and funny, hugging her chest and looking at her, as if saying "You deserved it".
"Woo~~"
Gu Mingxin covered her forehead and sat up slightly. Only then did she remember the previous "entanglement" and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Before in the Northern Region, when Lu Meimei and the male cultivators she captured practiced dual cultivation, basically within an incense stick of time, the man would either faint or beg for mercy.
But Ye Anping...
Xue'e shook her head and sighed, pointing to Gong Tianchan's head with an antiseptic talisman on it. "Mingxin, Ye Anping asked you to peel off this Gong girl's face and make a mask for you to wear."
"...Where's Ye Anping?"
"He's back in the Blood Prison Mansion. He should be back soon."
"Didn't he faint?"
"Ye Anping is very energetic. I feel like he stopped because he was afraid you couldn't stand it." Xue'e floated down, put her hands on her hips, and scolded her. "Mingxin, you're asking for trouble! See? You made Ye Anping angry... Do you feel good? If you don't listen to me, you'll suffer the consequences!"
Gu Mingxin rolled her eyes at her, still a little bit skeptical.
She was very confident in her body. If she was like this, who in the world could stand Ye Anping?
Ye Anping must have secretly used some pills or a magic tool to knock her out.
In other words, Ye Anping was actually holding on, just like a cultivator fighting a desperate battle. Because he didn't want to be suppressed by her, he had to save face and pretend to be very energetic. In fact, he was probably about to faint.
"Mingxin, when he comes back, remember to apologize, okay? Otherwise, who knows how Ye Anping will teach you a lesson, hum!"
Gu Mingxin grimaced and ignored her. When Xue'e said that she wanted to make Gong Tianchan's face into a mask, she gritted her teeth, endured the soreness in her body, and moved to grab the head.
However, just as she moved onto the bed, she already ran out of strength.
Bang——
Gu Mingxin landed on her face, with her butt in the air.
Xue'e was amused to see her in such a mess. She sighed and jumped off the bed. "You are so stubborn! I will ask Ye Anping to teach you a lesson later. You will know how painful it is."
"Hmph..."
Gu Mingxin looked down on her. She gritted her teeth and, using all her strength, she barely propped up her body. But she ran out of strength halfway and fell on her face again.
At this time, a subtle sound of footsteps came from the roof.
Hearing that Ye Anping was back, Gu Mingxin suddenly frowned and climbed back on the bed with all her strength. She sat on the edge of the bed with her legs bent, pretending to comb her hair casually.
"...Ah–"
Looking at her like this, Xue'e felt helpless. She shook her head and sighed, then turned to look at the window and saw Ye Anping push it open and jump in.
After Ye Anping landed, he turned around and closed the window. He saw that Gu Mingxin had woken up but she was still acting like a rich woman who had just had sex with a man, sitting on the bed and combing her hair. After a moment of silence, he walked over. "Awake?"
"I woke up a long time ago." Gu Mingxin pursed her cat-like lips. "Ye Anping, if you want to teach me a lesson, there is no need to use drugs and magic tools to knock me out, right? I know you are strong, but you don't have to pretend. Be careful not to hurt your body."
?
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment. Looking at her somewhat cheeky appearance, his eyes twitched, and then he turned his head to glance at Gong Tianchan's head which was lying there, and he simply sat down on the bed. "Now Gong Yue knows that Gong Tianchan and I are spending the night together. Anyway, everything is ready..."
Ye Anping directly untied his belt, took off his dark blue night robe, and looked at her. "Should we continue?"
Gu Mingxin looked at his actions and thought that he was probably trying to scare her. With a smirk, she replied, "Sure… can't wait~ Hehe—"
Ye Anping tilted his head to look at Xue'e and ordered. "Xue'e, go out and keep watch."
Xue'e was silent and seemed to think of something. She asked, "Ye Anping, can you let me go into your soul realm to take a look? Your name is written in the Heavenly Demonic Book, and I haven't gone in to see it yet."
Through the soul realm, one could know the detailed physical condition of a person.
Although she had been following Ye Anping for a long time, to be honest, except for the Interrogation Sword tactics that Ye Anping had performed before, she had no idea about his golden core and skills.
Ye Anping pondered for a while and felt that it was no big deal, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay."
After he agreed, Xue'e leaped directly through Ye Anping's forehead without saying a word and disappeared.
Ye Anping didn't care about it as he looked back at Gu Mingxin, then went to the bed, lifted her chin, and let her look directly into his eyes.
There was no trace of pity in his deep purple eyes, and he spoke softly, "Miss Gu."
"Hmm~"
"Let me make it clear first, I won't stop until the Moon Shadow Sword Sect arrives. You started it."
"...Hmm?"
Plop——
Gu Mingxin's body tensed up, and before she could react, she was pushed down on the bed and grabbed the somewhat messy sheets.
But in just a quarter of an hour, the sheets slipped from the pale fingers, and the little hands fell on the bed with the palms facing up, and they trembled, and then there was no movement...
