The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Wide-minded Senior Sister Bai

Ye Anping couldn’t understand.

He had taken on Bai Yuexin’s “mission” entirely for her “20% off coupon.”

Logically, once Bai Yuexin came out of her self-imposed isolation, the mission should have been completed. But why hadn’t the “coupon” appeared, and why had she latched onto him instead?

Could it be that game rewards were set by game designers and were different from those in the real world?

Ye Anping felt somewhat helpless. Without the “20% off coupon,” he would have to purchase Heavenly Treasures in smaller quantities, being short by one-fifth.

He hid by the window, peeking through a gap in the paper window at Bai Yuexin, who was busily cleaning his courtyard. He sighed suddenly, then returned to his bed to regulate his breathing and meditate, refining the Yang Energy in his body into Spiritual Energy and expelling it.

In the game, the cultivation method of Si Yang Sect, combined with the Nine Yuan Heart Method and the Inquiring Sword Art, was one of the optimal combinations calculated by expert players.

The acquisition methods weren’t too difficult, and the cultivation speed was fast, easily allowing players to form considerable combat power in the early stages. It was also easy to switch to other cultivation methods in the mid to late stages; there was no need for decades of dispelling cultivation, only the active effort to lower one’s cultivation by a minor realm.

Therefore, Ye Anping had initially chosen this trio for himself.

But now, it seemed he had made the wrong choice.

Cultivating this combination of methods had resulted in side effects not present in the game.

However, Ye Anping could understand why these side effects weren’t in the game.

“Heaven Sword Wonder Tale” was a healthy game for all ages.

These side effects, however, felt like “debuffs” typically found in R18 games.

From his current experience, Ye Anping felt it wasn’t a major issue. He could resolve the accumulation of Yang Energy through meditation and condensation, but this was likely because his current cultivation was very low.

Thinking of this, a line of sweat broke out on Ye Anping’s forehead.

Did this mean he absolutely had to find a Cultivation Partner right now?

But Miss Xiyue was in Hantian Kingdom.

Hantian Kingdom was a mid to late-game map; going there now would be seeking death!

Should he use something with Yin Energy to suppress it and make do?

But Yin-attributed things…

What about spirit cats or spirit foxes? But spirit pets were ridiculously expensive, and even if he could afford one, he couldn’t afford to raise it…

What if he went to the mass grave and chatted with the female ghosts? But what if he was cursed or possessed, which would be even more troublesome…

The only option he could think of in the end was his Junior Sister.

His Junior Sister’s Single Water Extreme Spiritual Root was, in other words, a “Pure Yin Body.”

As long as he hugged his Junior Sister to sleep every day from now on, all his Yang Energy would be neutralized by her constitution.

But…

“I wonder if Junior Sister would be willing to sleep hugging me, her Senior Brother… Never mind, no need to think about it. There’s no rush anyway. I’ll think about it after I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Ye Anping temporarily put the matter aside and returned to the issue of Seven Kill Gate.

He needed to find an opportunity to meet Feng Yu Die and discuss it with her.

“Hmm…”

After thinking for a while, Ye Anping got off the bed, put on his clothes, and opened the door to go out. He intended to ask Bai Yuexin to help him send a message to Feng Yu Die, asking her to come over.

Bai Yuexin was sweeping the floor at the moment. Seeing Ye Anping come out, she quickly approached him.

“Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to a Medical Clinic for a doctor to check you?”

“No need… I felt much better after meditating for a while.”

“I see…” Bai Yuexin nodded, then pulled him into the Main hall, saying, “By the way, I made you some porridge. Try it…”

Ye Anping was pulled to the table. He looked at the bowl of colorful, bubbling rice porridge that resembled lava. He frowned slightly and glanced at Bai Yuexin.

“Senior Bai…”

“Hmm?”

“Do you think this porridge looks edible?”

“Ah…” Bai Yuexin pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly and smiled, “It’s my first time making porridge. I thought you were quite weak, so I put a lot of medicinal ingredients in it. I didn’t expect it to turn out this color, but I tasted it, and it’s quite good.”

“…”

Ye Anping was speechless. Hearing that medicinal ingredients were added, and adhering to the principle of frugality, he still picked up the spoon and took a sip.

“How is it?” Bai Yuexin sat beside him, looking at him with anticipation.

“Hmm… It’s barely drinkable.”

“Heh heh…” Bai Yuexin giggled foolishly and unconsciously reached out to touch the back of Ye Anping’s head. “That’s good. If it’s not enough, there’s more in the pot.”

Seeing this, Ye Anping hesitated for a moment before speaking frankly, “Senior Bai, although this may not be polite, I’ll say it directly. I already have someone I like… So, Senior Bai, if you were thinking of me becoming your Cultivation Partner, please give up…”

Bai Yuexin gave an awkward smile and quickly tried to hit Ye Anping’s head with her hand, but he dodged by turning his head.

She paused for a moment and said, “What are you thinking about all day with that little brain of yours? So narcissistic.”

“Huh?”

“I simply thought you were quite similar to my younger brother when he was your age, so I wanted to take care of you. Besides, how old are you? Your ‘Sister Bai’ here has lived for almost forty-five years. How could I like a little sprout like you?”

“It’s purely that?”

*Maybe not purely…* Bai Yuexin thought to herself, then said, “Anyway, I’m willing to take care of you, so just accept it. I’m not asking you for anything, are you afraid I’ll cheat you?”

“Yes, I am.”

“…”

After taking a sip of the porridge, Ye Anping asked, “I heard you and that Senior just now talking about Seven Kill Gate. Has anything happened in Xuan Xing Sect these past few days?”

“That… Don’t tell anyone outside, okay? Sister trusts you, so I’m telling you.” Bai Yuexin pondered for a moment, then leaned close to Ye Anping’s ear and whispered, “Yesterday, people from Seven Kill Gate seemed to have attacked some disciples. Elder Lei was furious about it, so he summoned all the Sect Elders. In the end, they decided to eliminate Seven Kill Gate.”

With Bai Yuexin’s confirmation, Ye Anping was completely put at ease. He shrugged and replied, “Hmm, it has nothing to do with me.”

“Well, it’s not entirely unrelated. You should be careful too. What if there are still people from Seven Kill Gate hiding in the Marketplace? Those people only value money and not their lives. They are very wicked, all bad guys! They specifically catch children!”

“Senior Bai, you don’t need to speak to me in such a tone as if I were a child.”

“Okay, okay. You’re not old at all, but you act so mature. You’re not cute at all. Children your age should rush up and act spoiled when they see a big sister like me, right?”

Bai Yuexin looked at him and sighed, then smiled and opened her arms.

“Come… My arms are always open for you. If you can’t sleep because it’s too dark at night, tell Sister, and Sister will keep you company.”

Ye Anping, speechless, took another sip of porridge. After a pause, he hesitantly asked, “Can Senior Bai do me a favor?”

“Hmm? Tell me! What favor?”

“Can you help me deliver a message to a disciple of Xuan Xing Sect?”

“What message?”

“I’m inviting her to a meal. I hope she can come see me when she has time in the next few days.”

“Hmm…”

Bai Yuexin rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment. She suddenly remembered that Ye Anping had just said he had someone he liked…

Could it be that this person he liked was a disciple of Xuan Xing Sect?

Instantly, she felt a little disheartened. But since she had already agreed, and Ye Anping said he was inviting her to a meal, it meant their relationship hadn’t developed yet…

Bai Yuexin nodded and asked out of curiosity, “Who is it?”

“Feng Yu Die.”

Upon hearing the name, the smile on Bai Yuexin’s face instantly froze.

“…You know her?”

“Yes. I don’t know her, I just want to get to know her to expand my Physiotherapy Center’s business.”

“Business?”

Ye Anping nodded. “Yes, I just want to ask her to help promote my Physiotherapy Center. Something like, ‘Qi Refining Stage disciples who tested against Foundation Establishment Stage disciples praised it!!’?”

Bai Yuexin raised her eyebrows and reprimanded, “You little scamp! Are you deliberately trying to anger your Sister? Believe it or not, I’ll spank your bottom!”

“It’s alright, I’ll help Sister teach her a lesson then.”

“Fine, I’ll go tell her for you. Don’t you dare use this as an advertisement! Otherwise, Sister will skin you alive!”

“Just kidding, Senior Bai, your mind is truly narrow.”

Bai Yuexin looked at him resentfully, but then let out a sigh. “I lost, so I lost. I’ve come to terms with it long ago. I’m not going to compete with her, humph~”
