Chapter 263: Xiao Tian, Joint Property
The sun peeked over the horizon, and dawn pulled back the curtain on a new day.
After an unknown amount of time, the window brightened, and a ray of sunlight fell upon Ye Anping’s tightly closed eyes.
Ye Anping’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at the ceiling of his room. He had slept exceptionally soundly, likely due to the previous day’s exertion and his intimacy with his junior sister.
However, he immediately felt a suffocating pressure on his chest, as if a cat were lying on him, making it difficult to breathe.
His deep purple eyes slowly shifted towards his chest, only to see Xiao Tian lying on his bedding, squinting and looking at him with a playful smile.
Her tiny feet, no bigger than fingertips, swayed back and forth behind her.
“Anping, good morning~~ You were sleeping so soundly, were you tired yesterday? Heh heh~~”
“…”
A clear voice with a slight echo entered his ears. Ye Anping gritted his teeth slightly, slowly shifted his gaze back to the ceiling, then held his breath and sat up from the bed.
Xiao Tian quickly floated up from the quilt, circled him, and then sat on his shoulder.
“It’s quite cold today, wear more layers. The day’s plan is made in the morning! What are you preparing to do? Morning practice? Or breakfast? Hmm?”
“…”
What intelligent assistant?
Ye Anping continued to look straight ahead, pretending not to see it.
Although he knew it was a futile attempt, he truly didn’t want to acknowledge it.
He felt that if he responded even once, this little thing would chatter in his ear endlessly for the whole day without stopping.
Just like the parrot Si Xuanji kept…
Si Xuanji kept a parrot mainly because she was an old loli living alone, and a parrot could keep her company, relieve her boredom, pass the time, and ease her loneliness.
He wasn’t some old man, nor did he have depression or autism, so why would he need a little creature chattering in his ear day in and day out?
Ye Anping slipped his feet into his boots and walked to the dressing table in the room, picking up a comb to style his hair.
Xiao Tian circled him, looking closely:
“Anping, you have a white hair here~”
“…”
Then she moved closer to Ye Anping’s ear and looked inside his ear canal:
“Wow~ there’s a big piece of earwax…”
“…”
Ye Anping’s eye twitched. He quickly finished styling his hair, walked to the full-length mirror, and took out a clean set of clothes from his storage bag.
“Anping, why are all your clothes the same? You’re not short on spirit stones, you can buy more nice clothes! You look good in dark colors, you could even buy a forehead band to wear, you’d look really handsome.”
“…”
Fine!
Even if he ignored it, it would still chatter on and on.
Ye Anping let out a sigh, inexplicably regretting that he didn’t let Xiao Tian get taken by Yun Kunwu yesterday. He turned to Xiao Tian with a helpless expression and said, “Can you stop talking?”
Seeing that her persistent nagging finally had an effect, Xiao Tian pursed her lips tightly, took a deep breath, and then clung to Ye Anping’s face like an alien, with her arms spread.
“You’re finally willing to talk to me!! Do you know how long I’ve waited for this moment?!”
“You’re overdoing it,” Ye Anping saw through her exaggerated act at a glance, his expression cold. “Get off my face. Go on.”
“No, no~ Let me hug you for a while~~”
Ye Anping narrowed his eyes slightly, gritting his teeth. “Get—off—”
Sensing that Ye Anping was truly angry, Xiao Tian dared not act rashly. She quickly moved away from his face and shyly gave him seductive glances in mid-air.
“I was just excited~”
“Go out, I need to change.”
“Oh, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before, and besides…” Xiao Tian suddenly blushed and whispered, “It’s quite cute too…”
?
Ye Anping narrowed his eyes slightly, not wanting to engage in that topic. He changed the subject: “The Heavenly Scroll of the Dao has been changed to my name. Can you still return to Senior Sister Feng’s soul realm?”
Xiao Tian sat on his shoulder, crossing her legs and spreading her hands. She shook her head and said, “I can’t go back. All my half-finished renovation work is wasted. Anping, you have to find me a place to live! Hurry, hurry, let me enter your soul realm to take a look.”
?
Renovation?
Ye Anping furrowed his brows and replied: “Impossible.”
“Ah?” Xiao Tian shrunk her head and asked pitifully, “Then where will I live in the future? Do you know? I flew for a long time from Yu Die last night. I was so happy thinking I was moving to a new home… but you’re not giving me the key…”
“She knows about the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao changing owners?”
“No, I didn’t have time to tell her. After Yun Kunwu escaped yesterday, Yu Die, along with that female elder from the Sword Sect, captured the chubby old man who was trying to flee. After that, she was exhausted and fell asleep directly. By the way, where is Yun Kunwu?”
“He’s dead,” Ye Anping replied blandly, then asked, “Then what do you think she would do if she knew you came to me?”
“Hmm…” Xiao Tian pondered for a moment. “Don’t worry, I’ll explain when the time comes. I’ll say I’m Anping’s Xiao Tian now, not your Xiao Tian anymore. Yu Die will surely bless us.”
?
Ye Anping’s brow furrowed. He glanced at her. “Be serious!”
“Just kidding,” Xiao Tian floated to the top of Ye Anping’s head and sat cross-legged, holding onto his bangs and looking down. “Anping, actually, isn’t it the same whether you have me or Yu Die has me? You can see me, which means you and Yu Die are both fated. Two fated people are bound to be connected, like a destined couple. I am the joint property of you two as a couple! It doesn’t matter if my name is recorded under yours or Yu Die’s, it’s the same! It’s just that my place of residence is different.”
“Yun Kunwu could also see you, so what does that say?”
“Then it also means he and you are a destined couple,” Xiao Tian tilted her head and smiled. “Although being gay is not common, since he could see me, it means he is connected to us by fate.”
“?”
“Fortunately, he’s dead. I got goosebumps when I first saw him yesterday!” Xiao Tian shrugged slightly, then frowned and said, “But then again, his destiny is a bit…”
“Yun Kunwu was favored by heaven, but he was born into the wrong family,” Ye Anping finished his sentence, sighing. “If he had been born into a different family, he wouldn’t have become that kind of person, but there are no ifs.”
“Let’s not talk about him, he’s dead anyway.”
Xiao Tian floated down from Ye Anping’s head, flew in front of him, and bowed respectfully:
“Yu Die is not talented, I hope Anping will treat her well.”
?
“I didn’t agree.”
“Didn’t you agree yesterday?” Xiao Tian blinked her eyes, then flipped out the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao and moved the first page in front of him. “Look, your names are written on it, and it’s acknowledged by heaven!”
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment and squinted to look. Beside the bold calligraphy of “Ye Anping” on the first page of the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao, there were the worm-like characters of “Feng Yu Die”. Above them were the worm-like characters “Marriage Certificate”.
“Aren’t you going to bring heavenly punishment upon yourself by scribbling on this book?”
“…” Xiao Tian blinked, then tapped her forehead. “Heh~”
She then quickly erased the two lines of worm-like writing.
Ye Anping sighed and said, “A few days later, when Feng Yu Die has rested, I’ll return you. And don’t tell her you changed owners and came to me, otherwise she’ll definitely draw her sword and chop me. I can’t defeat her.”
“Oh~ I’ll explain, it’s fine!”
“Did you hear me?!” Ye Anping’s brows furrowed, and he said sternly.
“Ah…”
“Your response?”
“Oh…” Xiao Tian said dejectedly, pouting. “Then I’ll stay with you these few days. Let me move in first, please.”
“Dream on.”
Ye Anping gave it a roll of his eyes, turned around, unbuckled his pajama belt, and let his clothes fall to the ground, preparing to change.
“Oh my~” Xiao Tian quickly covered her eyes, peeking through her fingers. “Anping, you pervert~~”
“…”
