Chapter 115: Protagonist, Hug Me Twice, Thirty Thousand!
During their conversation, Feng Yu Die quickly gnawed the roasted chicken in front of her down to nothing but a pile of chicken bones. Ye Anping barely touched his chopsticks throughout the meal, only eating a few peanuts and drinking two or three cups of tea.
“I’m done, let’s go!” Feng Yu Die patted her full belly and grinned, asking Ye Anping to settle the bill.
Ye Anping said nothing, called the restaurant’s waiter over, and waved his hand, taking out more than ten spirit stones from his storage bag.
However, just as the waiter was ready to bow and step forward to receive the spirit stones, Ye Anping’s action suddenly froze.
“Little Immortal Master, thank you…”
“…”
Dong—
The waiter watched as Ye Anping, who had just stood up, suddenly frowned, bent his knees, and knelt directly on one knee. His elbow also heavily struck the table beside him.
Ye Anping gritted his teeth and held onto the edge of the table to prevent himself from falling face-first onto the floor.
“Ah?! Little Immortal Master?! What’s wrong?” The restaurant waiter was startled and instinctively wanted to help, but seeing Ye Anping’s pale complexion, he feared taking responsibility and didn’t dare to step forward.
Feng Yu Die, sitting across the table, was also startled. He had been fine just moments ago, so why did this happen so suddenly?
“What’s wrong?!” After a moment of daze, Feng Yu Die immediately overturned the table and went to Ye Anping’s side, helping him back into the chair. She then grabbed Ye Anping’s right hand, rolled up his sleeve, formed a sword finger with her hand, and pressed it onto Ye Anping’s right wrist.
“The left cun pulse is rolling erratically… What kind of pulse is this?!” Feng Yu Die found Ye Anping’s pulse to be extremely chaotic, but she didn’t know much about medical skills, so she looked pleadingly at Xiao Tian, who was floating nearby.
Without a word, Xiao Tian took out the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao and began flipping through it rapidly.
“Yu Die, this is the Yang Fire Attacking the Heart, a grave danger to life. It usually happens when a man overdoes his yang replenishment.”
Upon seeing the solution written on the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao, Xiao Tian’s originally stern and furrowed brow suddenly lifted.
*Pa—*
It closed the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao with one hand, looked at Feng Yu Die, and shouted, “Yu Die!! Kiss him!!”
“…Kiss him?” Feng Yu Die was stunned for a moment before reacting, “…Huh?!”
“Kiss him!! Mouth to mouth!!”
“Kiss… Kiss, kiss, kiss…” Feng Yu Die looked at the currently pale Ye Anping, then glanced around, and finally spotted the equally terrified waiter beside them and said, “You, come and kiss him!! Mouth to mouth!!”
?
The waiter looked bewildered, and Xiao Tian was also bewildered.
Even the extremely uncomfortable Ye Anping, upon hearing this, twisted his brows and glared at her, gritting his teeth and questioning her with his eyes: Are you out of your mind?!
Xiao Tian added, “Yu Die! Only a female cultivator’s kiss will work!”
“Ah? Where do I find a female cultivator?”
“Aren’t you one?!”
“I… I…” Feng Yu Die stammered for a while, then looked blankly at Xiao Tian and asked, “Am I?”
“You…” Xiao Tian was directly petrified in mid-air.
Feeling that he couldn’t hold on any longer, Ye Anping didn’t care about anything else. He grabbed Feng Yu Die’s right hand and pulled her forcefully into his embrace, holding her tightly.
Feng Yu Die was a bit at a loss and straightened her neck, “Ah?!”
“Expand your True Essence!”
“…”
Xiao Tian also quickly urged, “Do as he says!”
Hearing Xiao Tian’s reminder, Feng Yu Die pursed her lips, took a deep breath through her nose, relaxed her body, and mobilized her True Essence, slowly releasing it from her dantian.
Ye Anping quickly mobilized his spiritual power, guiding Feng Yu Die’s True Essence into his body through the meridians and major pathways, while simultaneously sinking his spiritual sense to encompass his entire body.
Only then did Ye Anping discover that his cultivation had increased again. However, this time it wasn’t much, at most equivalent to three to four months of meditation and Qi gathering. He figured it must have been caused by that demonic cultivator named Yao Yuanhua. This was already the third time, and Ye Anping had almost figured out the pattern.
Yao Yuanhua was originally fated to die at the hands of Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo. Now that he had helped Feng Yu Die kill Yao Yuanhua prematurely, the opportunities and destiny had come to him, essentially stealing some destiny from Feng Yu Die.
“Phew—” After a while, Ye Anping felt that the yang energy within him had subsided, so he relaxed and loosened his grip on Feng Yu Die’s waist. He opened his eyes and looked at Feng Yu Die, who was now looking awkward, wanting to push him away but seeming hesitant to do so. He was stunned for a moment, then black lines appeared on his face. He smelled the fragrance on Feng Yu Die’s body. Unlike the scent of his junior sister, she had a faint fragrance of lily of the valley. And the width of her shoulders, the feeling of holding her… Ye Anping didn’t know why, but he was currently marveling: Feng Yu Die is also a girl.
“…” Feng Yu Die saw Ye Anping staring at her face and slowly turned her gaze to the side, pouting and asking, “Are you done? How much longer are you going to hold me?”
Xiao Tian, floating beside them, couldn’t stop laughing. Hearing her question, it suddenly became serious and said solemnly, “Yu Die, to be safe, you’d better let him hold you for a while longer.”
“Phew—” Ye Anping twitched his eyes, exhaled expressionlessly, and quickly let her go. Xiao Tian quickly urged Ye Anping, “Hey? Young Master Ye, hold her for a bit longer!”
Ye Anping ignored him and said to Feng Yu Die, “I owe you one.”
Feng Yu Die stood up and took two steps back, pulling her left shoulder, which had been slightly pulled back by Ye Anping, back into place. She tidied her clothes, then formed a sword finger with one hand, picked up the more than ten spirit stones that Ye Anping had dropped on the ground, and handed them to the waiter who was waiting nearby.
“You can go now.” Seeing that everything was fine, the restaurant waiter took the spirit stones from Feng Yu Die, bowed, and quickly ran out. After he left, Feng Yu Die looked at Ye Anping again and furrowed her brows, asking, “Did you practice some strange cultivation method?”
Ye Anping picked up his teacup and took a sip. “It’s just that two of my cultivation methods are clashing, so my yang energy accumulates quite quickly.”
Hearing this, Xiao Tian quickly circled Ye Anping a few times and asked, “Young Master Ye, this won’t do. Why don’t you abolish your cultivation method and start over? It will cause trouble sooner or later.”
Ye Anping did not answer. He knew that abolishing his cultivation and starting anew was the root solution, but at the Foundation Establishment Stage, abolishing his cultivation would drop him back to Qi Refining levels one or two. It would be too much of a loss to cultivate again. He planned to abolish his cultivation and re-cultivate after reaching Core Formation. At that point, even if he abolished his cultivation, his level wouldn’t drop; at most, he wouldn’t be able to use spiritual energy until he learned a new cultivation method.
Feng Yu Die heard Xiao Tian speak and looked at Ye Anping, asking, “You have it figured out, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then I won’t say any more.” Feng Yu Die poured herself a cup of tea and sat back at the table. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly held up three fingers to Ye Anping. “You owe me this much!”
Ye Anping raised an eyebrow. “Three roasted chickens?”
“Dream on!” Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes at him. “Thirty thousand spirit stones!!”
“A bit expensive.”
“That’s right! I saved your life, and you saved my life before. This way, we’re completely even!” Feng Yu Die tilted her head back and said with her hands on her hips, “If we weren’t friends, I would have kicked you out the window before you even hugged me. You’re the first stinky man to hug me!”
Ye Anping pondered for a moment. Anyway, he could have his junior sister get the money back later, so he agreed. “Alright, thirty thousand spirit stones, I’ll give it to you in a few days.”
“Oh? So straightforward?” Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows and quickly began to bargain with a grin. “Then add another twenty thousand!”
Ye Anping gave her a look. “I can deduct twenty thousand for you.”
“Okay, okay! One price, thirty thousand it is… Hehe.” Feng Yu Die pondered for a moment. If she could exchange a month of True Essence for thirty thousand spirit stones, wouldn’t that be a good deal? She was a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator and could use some methods to quickly accumulate True Essence. As long as she found a place with rich spiritual energy and meditated for a while, it would be fine. Thinking this, she rubbed her chin and looked at Ye Anping again. In the end, she dismissed the idea of making money, sighing in her heart: If only Ye Anping were a girl…
“Are you feeling better now?” Ye Anping took a deep breath and probed his meridians again. The yang energy was only temporarily suppressed by Feng Yu Die’s True Essence. He would still have to find his junior sister later…
“Yes, I just need to recuperate for a while.”
“That’s good.” Feng Yu Die shrugged slightly and suddenly smiled again. “Young Master Ye, do you think I’m qualified now?”
“Qualified for what?”
“To be with Junior Sister Pei? I’m quite reliable, aren’t I?” Feng Yu Die winked and hinted at Ye Anping, “I will definitely take good care of Junior Sister Pei from now on. How about I call you brother-in-law from now on?”
“?”
“Brother-in-law is also fine. I don’t mind.”
Ye Anping said coldly, “No way.”
Feng Yu Die propped her chin with her hand, picked up her teacup, and waved her hand. “Aiyo— Young Master Ye, what will it take for you to agree to me and Junior Sister Pei being together? I’m truly sincere about Junior Sister Pei.”
“The day you stop liking girls is the day I’ll agree to you being with my junior sister.”
“…”
At this moment, Xiao Tian, with a mischievous smile, glided to Ye Anping’s ear and asked with a wicked grin, “Hey, Young Master Ye, how did Yu Die feel in your arms? Was she soft? Delicate? Did she smell nice? Do you want to hug her again?”
“…”
“Aiya, Young Master Ye, if you still want to hug her, just tell me. I’ll go back and help you guide her. If you don’t say anything, I’ll assume you want to hug her, okay?”
“…”
Ye Anping ignored Xiao Tian and looked down, reflecting. The situation just now was like a prank from heaven, it happened too suddenly. Si Xuanji had said that his fate star was tied to Feng Yu Die. Perhaps meeting Feng Yu Die was the reason his “Golden Finger” had suddenly settled its reward. It seemed that in the future, if he did anything related to Feng Yu Die, he should not separate from his junior sister for a while. Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose and stood up. “I’m going back.”
