Chapter 255 Protagonist, Feng Yu Die Buff Enhanced Version
Feng Yu Die followed Ye Anping, walking slowly along the corridors of Yun Jiu Manor.
Her mind, however, was still replaying Yun Jiujiu’s outrageous remarks from earlier. As if she had suddenly understood something, her gaze involuntarily shifted to Ye Anping’s pants, her face conveying the desire to “touch them.”
“Mmhmm…”
Seeing that no one else was around, Ye Anping stopped and turned to look at her. However, upon noticing Feng Yu Die’s gaze drifting downwards, he followed her line of sight and looked down. His eyes twitched instantly. He reached out, cupped her chin, and forcibly tilted her head up.
“What are you looking at?”
“…Nothing.”
Feng Yu Die averted her eyes but then suddenly realized that Ye Anping was fiddling with her again, using his index finger to lift her chin. She quickly took a step back and said with a frown,
“What are you doing!”
“?”
“What did I do?”
Feng Yu Die rubbed her chin and said with a frown, “Why are you tilting my chin? You pervert, you tricked me again when I wasn’t paying attention! I won’t fall for it! Hmph—”
“……?”
Ye Anping couldn’t understand her train of thought. It was she who had been staring at his crotch first, so why was she accusing him of tricking her? Wasn’t this a case of the guilty party lodging a complaint first?
Just then, two beams of golden light streaked across the sky, causing the wind to whistle overhead.
Ye Anping followed the sound and saw the two golden lights land in the courtyard they had just left. He knew that Elder Tian Xing and Elder Wu had likely arrived.
He pondered for a moment and said,
“Senior Sister Feng, Yun Yiyi will bring the two elders and Yun Jiujiu into the Thousand Sword Pool today or tomorrow. I need you to accompany them. Your objective is to protect those two closely.”
Feng Yu Die frowned and thought for a moment, then asked,
“Can I go in with them? Aren’t there two Nascent Soul elders? If they can’t protect them, I certainly won’t be able to.”
Ye Anping shook his head slightly and explained,
“Elder Tian Xing and Elder Wu will directly confront Zhuang Yan and Yun Kunwu. Although Yun Kunwu has manifested as a body with pure malevolence, his cultivation method itself is incredibly powerful. Even facing a Deity Transformation stage cultivator, he wouldn’t be defeated immediately. The residual energies from the fight between those four would be enough to kill Yun Yiyi and Yun Jiujiu dozens of times over.”
“… …”
“Furthermore, they will have to go all out to deal with Zhuang Yan and Yun Kunwu, and won’t have the energy to protect the two girls.”
“So, I just need to keep them hidden?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure I’m capable? Nascent Soul stage cultivators, you know! Last time, Miss Li’s father dealt with me pretty badly with just a wave of his hand.”
*Like last time, there would be a few more knocks…* Ye Anping smiled and nodded,
“Your Saint Emperor Dragon Body is enough.”
“Ding~~~”
Feng Yu Die immediately narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
Last time at Chi Long Mansion, Ye Anping had said the same thing, yet she had been pierced through the shoulder by that Core Formation stage Demonic cultivator, and it hurt for days.
Seeing her expression, Ye Anping pouted, feeling a little helpless. He suddenly felt like his subordinates were getting smarter, and they wouldn’t work without a raise.
After hesitating for a moment, he said,
“I guarantee you will return unharmed, and this matter will be considered concluded. I will give you a reward that will satisfy you.”
“Mm… Junior Sister Pei?”
“?”
Feng Yu Die blinked her eyes and asked expectantly,
“Let me kiss Junior Sister Pei?”
“No way.” Ye Anping showed a gentle smile and raised his hand to stop her, saying, “It’s even better than Junior Sister Pei.”
“…How can anything be better than Junior Sister Pei? Even Spirit Stones pale in comparison!” Feng Yu Die twisted her brow, tilted her head up, and proudly patted her chest, saying, “Junior Sister Pei is the greatest treasure in the world to me!”
Ye Anping gave her a glare and continued,
“It’s a cultivation method, one that is almost perfectly compatible with you.”
“Tch~~” Feng Yu Die immediately gave Ye Anping a huge eye-roll, as if she wasn’t interested at all, “Then it would be better to give me more Spirit Stones.”
Ye Anping shook his head slightly and then instinctively reached for his Storage Bag, intending to show her the two incomplete scrolls of Xuan Yin Art he had obtained earlier. However, the Storage Bag was with his Junior Sister, so he had to give up.
“I don’t have them on me, but I guarantee you’ll like them when you see them.”
“Oh.”
Feng Yu Die pouted with a lack of interest, but after a moment of thought, she seemed to have hit upon a crucial point, her brow furrowed in confusion, “But, can I go with them? Isn’t that a forbidden area of the Sword Sect? And Jiujiu is still angry with me.”
“She won’t be.”
“How do you know?”
“Yun Jiujiu’s temper flares up quickly and fades just as fast. She’s spent so much time with you, she won’t forget the days of drinking, eating roasted chicken, and sparring. The sunk cost of your feelings is there. Although she won’t acknowledge you on the surface later, she’ll be extremely conflicted inside. As long as you make the first move, she’ll agree to let you go with them.”
Feng Yu Die was stunned for a moment, and her brow twisted. She said sarcastically,
“You’re really skilled at deceiving girls.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Who praised you?! You scoundrel!” Feng Yu Die hugged her arms and turned her head away, but after thinking about it, she asked, “And you? What are you going to do? Don’t tell me you’re just waiting for my good news.”
“I’m going to rescue Yun Xi with my Junior Sister first. I also need to assist the two elders in their fight against Zhuang Yan and Yun Kunwu. When both sides are of similar strength, any slight advantage can determine the outcome.”
“Oh…”
Feng Yu Die waved her hand, cast one last glance at Ye Anping’s crotch, and then turned to go back and find Yun Jiujiu.
“I’ll be going back then.”
“Mm…” Ye Anping nodded but suddenly paused, stopping her. “Wait.”
“What is it…”
“Lend me your flying sword.”
Feng Yu Die narrowed her eyes, raised her hand, and held up five fingers, her eyebrows raised twice.
“Mhm?”
“…Fine. I’ll give you five hundred later.”
“Hmph!”
Feng Yu Die pouted, took out her flying sword from her Storage Bag, and threw it to him. Then, she turned and left along the corridor.
After catching the flying sword, Ye Anping watched her leave, then looked down at the sword and murmured,
“Deceive…”
Ye Anping could tell that Feng Yu Die seemed to have suddenly become hostile towards him. Combined with her earlier remark, “You’re really skilled at deceiving girls,” he suddenly had a suspicion.
Could it be that “deceive” meant Feng Yu Die thought he was flirting with her?
Upon realizing this, Ye Anping frowned and fell silent. If he didn’t think about it specifically, he hadn’t noticed it himself. But recalling his interactions with Feng Yu Die over the past year, there did seem to be some ambiguous, hard-to-explain intimacy.
It was as if it had been a gradual influence…
He suddenly began to doubt if this was a result of the fate-bound connection that Si Xuanji had mentioned, causing him and Feng Yu Die to grow closer without him even realizing it.
As Ye Anping pondered this, he imagined Feng Yu Die without her clothes.
Feng Yu Die had a youthful appearance and a perfectly proportioned figure, but her image evoked a feeling like a gentle breeze blowing through his heart, calm and serene, without a ripple of emotion.
In fact, Ye Anping felt that if he continued to imagine, he could achieve enlightenment.
Therefore, he stopped thinking about it, tossed Feng Yu Die’s flying sword into the air, stepped on it, and flew towards Xi Ri Peak…
