Chapter 128: Junior Sister, You Can Actually Teleport
The sound of rain hitting the eaves grew denser.
It was almost midnight, and the noise in Jiang Mansion had gradually subsided. Most of the maidservants and guards had returned to their rooms to rest.
Ye Anping stood alone under the eaves of the courtyard, his gaze piercing through the dense night rain to the lights on the distant peak of Chi Long Mountain.
He prayed in his heart that Feng Yu Die would not arrive at Jiang Mansion riding a flying sword.
If Feng Yu Die didn’t come to find him today, it would mean that Li Longling had successfully persuaded Li Feng.
In that case, the Chi Long Mansion incident could conclude perfectly, the blood sacrifice formation would not be activated, and the Chi Long Convention would proceed as usual…
Seeing that it was almost the next day, Ye Anping let out a sigh of relief, assuming Li Longling had succeeded. He then let out a long breath, preparing to return to his room to wait for his junior sister to finish bathing so they could sleep together.
However, just as Ye Anping took two steps in the direction of his bedroom, a sound of air being torn apart echoed from the sky.
Soaked to the bone by the rain, Feng Yu Die landed beside the courtyard on her flying sword. Upon seeing Ye Anping, she rushed over.
“Young Master Ye, Junior Sister Li is…”
Before Feng Yu Die could finish, Ye Anping interrupted her, “Young Master Li has been locked up by Li Feng, and Li Feng is preparing to make his move?”
“Ah…” Feng Yu Die flinched, nodding in surprise. “…Yes! How did you know?”
“The fact that you came to find me means something has happened.”
Ye Anping sighed. With a sword finger, he summoned a towel from his storage bag and tossed it to Feng Yu Die.
“Dry your hair.”
Feng Yu Die dazedly took the towel and began rubbing her hair vigorously while asking, “Then what do we do?”
“We charge in head-on.”
Hearing this, Feng Yu Die’s head shrunk back. She had expected Ye Anping to have some clever plan, but his plan was to charge in head-on?
“Ah?!”
“What are you ah-ing about?”
“No… you mean we’re going to confront Li Feng directly?”
“Mm.”
Feng Yu Die quickly shook her head. “Can we even beat him?”
“We can’t.”
“Then how will we charge in?”
“What we need to do is bury those three demonic cultivators and destroy the Crimson Refining Five Lotus Formation used for the blood sacrifice.”
“But that still means we have to fight Li Feng, doesn’t it?”
Ye Anping shook his head, calmly stating, “We’ll just exchange a few blows. Once the formation is broken, Li Feng loses.”
Feng Yu Die lowered her eyes in thought for a moment, then nodded blankly and asked, “Then how do we break the formation?”
Ye Anping wore a strange expression. He had told her it was the “Crimson Refining Five Lotus Formation,” yet she was asking him instead of Xiao Tian? Did she consider him an upgraded version of Xiao Tian?
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her. “Why do you have to ask me everything? Can’t you think for yourself?”
Feng Yu Die paused, then shyly pursed her lips and grinned foolishly. “Oh, leave the thinking to you. Anyway, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.”
“Then will you promise to never think about my junior sister again? Will you do that?”
“Ahaha…”
Feng Yu Die scratched the back of her head and laughed. However, a sly glint flickered in her eyes. She stepped closer, placed a hand on Ye Anping’s shoulder, leaned in, and grinned, “Young Master Ye, since you mentioned Junior Sister Pei, let’s discuss something.”
Ye Anping removed her hand from his shoulder, disdainfully patted his sleeve, and asked with a frown, “Discuss what?”
“How about we become Junior Sister Pei’s harem together?”
?
???
Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die with a peculiar expression.
“…”
Feng Yu Die blinked and gestured with her hands, explaining, “Young Master Ye, what I mean is… later, I can be Junior Sister Pei’s first husband, and you can be her second husband. We can be with Junior Sister Pei together from now on. Wouldn’t that be great?”
“…”
Ye Anping was utterly silenced by Feng Yu Die’s erratic train of thought.
He had been in this world for nearly seventeen years, and he had never felt so speechless.
Seeing his expression, Feng Yu Die flinched and asked, “Or, you be the first husband, and I’ll be the second? This is something we can negotiate…”
“…”
Ye Anping took a deep breath and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He regretted bringing up his junior sister with this girl. He immediately steered the conversation back. “Where is Senior Sister Xiao?”
“She’s with Junior Sister Li.”
“Mm…”
“Oh, and this too…” Feng Yu Die made a sword finger and summoned a jade pendant from her storage bag, handing it to Ye Anping. “Junior Sister Li gave this to us. She said we can use this jade talisman to mobilize the guards of Chi Long Mansion.”
Ye Anping looked slightly surprised and flipped the jade talisman over.
The jade was clear and transparent, likely made from the extremely fiery spirit jade from the side of Chi Long Mountain. It was carved with a bas-relief of a Chi Dragon, undoubtedly the same one from the game.
Honestly, he never expected Li Longling to hand this jade talisman over to Feng Yu Die.
Li Longling must have known that if Li Feng failed, he would surely perish. Then she would be left all alone, with no one to rely on.
It was truly ironic that Li Feng taught Li Longling what the righteous path was, yet he himself betrayed it.
Ye Anping put the jade talisman into his storage bag.
“Mm, I understand. Rest tonight. You can find a room to stay in; there are plenty of empty rooms in Jiang Mansion.”
“But Li Feng is already preparing to make his move, shouldn’t we also…”
Ye Anping shook his head, interrupting her. “The time isn’t right yet. We have to wait for Li Feng to make the first move.”
“…I’ll listen to you.” Feng Yu Die nodded and asked shyly, blinking her eyes, “By the way, where is Junior Sister Pei?”
“My junior sister, she…”
*Boom—*
Thunder interrupted Ye Anping’s words.
Accompanied by the thunder, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. A flash of white light instantly illuminated the entire courtyard.
In that instant, Ye Anping suddenly saw a elongated shadow cast on the pillar beside him and turned around to look behind him.
A woman in a pure white long gown stood like an assassin at the end of the courtyard.
Her disheveled hair covered her entire face, and water droplets hung from the tips, falling to the ground, exuding a chilling aura of dread.
Feng Yu Die was also startled by the figure and flinched, instinctively drawing her spirit sword and hiding behind Ye Anping, clutching his shoulder.
“Eek! What is that?!”
“…”
Ye Anping didn’t reply and didn’t dare to blink, silently observing the woman in front of him.
After an unknown period of time, another flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
*Szzzzz—*
The white light from the lightning, which illuminated the night sky, made Ye Anping involuntarily blink.
However, in that instant of blinking, the figure that had been ten feet away seemed to have teleported directly in front of him.
Ye Anping’s composure finally broke. His face turned pale, and he gasped.
“Hiss—”
Despite his shock, he quickly calmed down and slowly raised his hand, pushing aside the hair covering the woman’s cheeks.
Upon seeing the woman’s face, Ye Anping finally exhaled the cool air he had inhaled. It turned out that this creature, which resembled a combination of Sadako and SCP-173, was his junior sister.
Ye Anping pouted and couldn’t help but pinch Pei Lianxue’s face and scold her with a frown, “Girl, how did you learn to scare people?”
“…Scare people?”
“Yes.”
Pei Lianxue puffed out her cheeks, took his hand off her face, tilted her head, and peeked at Feng Yu Die behind Ye Anping. “Senior Sister Feng… why are you here?”
“Hm?”
Hearing Pei Lianxue’s voice, Feng Yu Die’s eyebrows shot up. She quickly poked her head out from behind Ye Anping and replied with a grin, “Oh, it’s Junior Sister Pei? You scared me, I thought it was a ghost. Junior Sister Pei, why are you dressed like that?”
