The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Junior Sister, I Want an “Ating”

The sun was setting in the west, and the Jiang Mansion was filled with a peaceful scene. Apart from the occasional pig-like screams coming from the specially designated guest room, everything was normal.

Liang Zhu was quite efficient. Ye Anping had asked him to find some blind cultivators for clinical trials that morning, and he brought back four blind cultivators by noon.

The eye conditions of these four were different from Li Longling’s. Two of them had been blinded in fights, the “one-eyed monsters”; one had fallen Scarlet Snow into his eyes and barely survived by taking a Soul Shocking Pill; and the last one was severely nearsighted…

Ye Anping spent the entire afternoon with the four people, conducting his clinical trials. Although he accidentally ruptured the eyeball of the first person, the remaining three were relatively smooth, and he basically grasped the distribution of meridians around the eyes of cultivators.

Creak—

The guest room door was pushed open from the inside by Ye Anping. He removed his mask and his blood-stained apron, taking a deep breath of the fresh air outside. The four people brought by Liang Zhu also walked out step by step, supporting themselves on the wall.

Ye Anping looked at the four with an apologetic expression. Then, he took out five storage bags, each containing two thousand Spirit Stones, from his Storage Bag and politely handed them over.

“Thank you all for your cooperation today. Although I couldn’t cure your eye diseases, I have helped clear the meridians in your bodies. You can try it; your Qi Cultivation should be smoother now.”

The four looked at each other, startled, and then tried to mobilize their spiritual energy, indeed finding that the flow of spiritual energy in their bodies had become much smoother. One of them immediately cupped his hands and bowed:

“Thank you, Young Master Jiang. I didn’t have high hopes for curing my eye disease anyway. Eldest Miss Li of Chi Long Mansion hasn’t been able to cure it for so many years, ahaha… I just came to earn some Spirit Stones. I still have one eye anyway.”

The other two didn’t say much, weighing the Spirit Stone bags in their hands, seemingly satisfied. However, the one who was severely nearsighted squinted his eyes and looked at the cultivator beside him, who had a ruptured eyeball, holding two Spirit Stone bags. He was a little jealous and asked with a frown:

“Young Master Jiang, why did you give him two?”

Ye Anping’s brow furrowed, and his eyes instantly turned cold:

“If I make your eye burst, I’ll give you double. If I make both burst, I’ll give you quadruple. What do you think?”

“…”

“Alright, you can all leave now. If you want to have a meal, that’s fine too. The Jiang Mansion provides meals. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”

Ye Anping nodded in greeting and then turned towards his and his junior sister’s bedroom. The Jiang Mansion was quiet now; most of the servants were already waiting in the dining hall for the meal.

On the way back, Ye Anping strolled leisurely, scanning the various corners and rooms of the Jiang Mansion, feeling quite emotional. After all, he and his junior sister had been living in the Jiang Mansion for several months. It would be a lie to say he had no feelings for it.

But thinking that in a few more days, he would set fire to the backyard of the Jiang Mansion… it felt quite satisfying. It was a sense of satisfaction from fulfilling a destructive urge, a rare chance to be a delinquent arsonist for once.

After a moment of reflection, he shifted his attention back to Li Longling’s eyes. Just as he had thought, engraving the Eye Shifting Talisman directly onto the meridians and letting Li Longling raise some birds or pets to act as her eyes was the treatment method he had come up with. At least, his experiment had been successful on the four people just now. However, to be safe, he hadn’t fully healed the four.

The remaining task was to find a time to meet Li Longling and perform this “surgery” for her. But there was no hurry; it was better to let Li Longling prioritize the affairs of Chi Long Mansion, as this surgery would require several days of recovery time.

Ye Anping looked up at the sky, thinking it was about time for him to consolidate his cultivation. He had a Water and Wood Spiritual Root, so he needed a place rich in Water and Wood Spiritual Energy to do so. If he remembered correctly, after the Chi Long Mansion incident, due to the conflict between the Crimson Refining Five Lotus Formation and the Chi Long Mansion’s spirit suppression formation, a spirit spring would emerge in the back mountain. That spirit spring was precisely a spirit spring of Water and Wood Spiritual Energy.

“After sunset, I’ll go soak for a while.”

Just then, he arrived at the bedroom door and pushed it open.

Creak—

“Junior Sister…”

His voice abruptly stopped. Upon seeing the scene inside the room, Ye Anping froze. Pei Lianxue was currently on the ground, doing push-ups with only her right little finger, while Liang Acting, with her legs crossed, sat on her back. Hearing the sound of the door opening, both of them looked at Ye Anping with dumbfounded expressions.

“…”

After a long moment of eye contact, Liang Acting jumped off Pei Lianxue’s back and waved, saying, “Uncle! You’re back!! Hurry up and play chess with me!! I’ll definitely beat you this time!!”

“Another day.”

Liang Acting puffed out her cheeks and tugged at Ye Anping’s clothes, saying, “Tomorrow begets tomorrow, tomorrow is infinitely many. I live waiting for tomorrow, and all things become wasted!”

Ye Anping was speechless. He glanced at Liang Acting, grabbed her by the back of her collar, and dragged her out of the bedroom before shutting the door with a bang. Liang Acting immediately started banging on the door, shouting from outside:

“Uncle!! You liar, you just like tricking innocent girls like me, did you trick Auntie back like this too!! Auntie is so stupid…”

At this moment, Liang Zhu seemed to have found her:

—”Ating!! Why are you here again? Didn’t I tell you not to play with them?”

—”Ah… Foster Father… But Foster Father’s chess playing is so bad, there’s no fun at all.”

—”Hiss—” Liang Zhu took a breath, frowned, and said, “Go back to your room! Foster Father used to let you win. Today, I’ll show you my true skills. Let’s go!”

…

Listening to the receding footsteps of the father and daughter outside, Ye Anping’s expression became a complete black line. He felt a trace of fear towards children like her again. He used to have fantasies: in a sea of flowers, he and Little Xiyue would play hide-and-seek, while Miss Xiyue would knit under an apricot tree, watching their father and daughter chase each other with a smile. A scene like that. But now, after meeting Liang Acting, the word “child” seemed to be cast in a shadow.

Ye Anping rubbed his nose and walked up to Pei Lianxue, helping her up. He asked, “Junior Sister, Ating bothers you so much, aren’t you annoyed?”

“Not at all, Ating is very cute.” Pei Lianxue quickly shook her head. After a moment of hesitation, she tilted her head and asked, “Senior Brother, I want one.”

?

Ye Anping felt a little confused:

“Want? Want what?”

“…Ating.”

?

Want an Ating? It took Ye Anping a moment to understand what she meant. He immediately gasped, creating a vacuum within a three-foot radius around him.

“Hiss—————”
