Chapter 271: Protagonist, Will You Marry Me?
The warm sunlight shone on their faces, comfortably warm.
Feng Yu Die sat on one side of the stone table, her brows furrowed tightly as she stared intently into Ye Anping’s eyes.
Ye Anping was also quietly speaking about Xiao Tian’s matter:
“… At that time, Yun Kunwu was about to snatch the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao from you. Xiao Tian had no choice but to temporarily transfer ownership to me. Otherwise, once Yun Kunwu obtained the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao, everyone would have been in danger.”
After a long explanation, Ye Anping closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh.
Although he didn’t want Feng Yu Die to know that he could see Xiao Tian, or that the ownership of the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao had changed, he had thought it over on the way to Jian Jiu Peak and decided to tell her the truth.
After all, this was something he could hide for a while, but not forever. Feng Yu Die would eventually find out.
Ye Anping had expected Feng Yu Die to have many questions for him and had prepared himself to answer them. However, after he finished speaking, Feng Yu Die simply ended the topic with a single “Oh.”
“Oh.”
“… Don’t you have any questions for me?”
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Tian again, asking:
“How about I marry you?”
?
Ye Anping didn’t understand Feng Yu Die’s train of thought. He was talking about Xiao Tian’s matter, so seriously, why did she suddenly ask, “Marry you?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian’s eyes lit up. It thought Feng Yu Die had finally seen the light:
“Yu Die! Say that again?!”
“I said, I’ll marry Ye Anping,” Feng Yu Die raised her hand to twirl her silver ear hair, then gave Ye Anping a seductive glance, “Ye Anping, will you marry me?”
“Marry you! Of course, I’ll marry you!” Although Xiao Tian didn’t know what was going on, since Feng Yu Die asked, it quickly answered for Ye Anping, “Anping told me yesterday that he wants to marry you~ Right, Anping~”
It quickly winked at Ye Anping, signaling him to nod.
I never said that… Ye Anping glanced at Xiao Tian, frowned, and replied:
“Senior Sister Feng, back when we were at the Hundred Lotus Sect, I told you that I have absolutely no feelings for you. I didn’t in the past, and I certainly won’t in the future. It’s impossible for me to marry you.”
Feng Yu Die lowered her head slightly, staring intently at Ye Anping’s face, and repeated:
“Young Master Ye, think carefully. I won’t say it a second time. If you miss this chance, you won’t get another. If you want to marry me, agree now, and I’ll marry you immediately after.”
Ye Anping didn’t hesitate, rolling his eyes at her:
“I won’t marry you. I’m not interested.”
“Really?”
Ye Anping still couldn’t understand Feng Yu Die’s train of thought. Frowning, he replied:
“I won’t marry you. No matter how many times you ask, my answer will be the same. Don’t you hate men? Why do you suddenly want to marry me? Don’t you consider me a man?”
Hearing this, Feng Yu Die seemed relieved, letting out a breath. She suddenly grinned at Ye Anping:
“Phew— If you had agreed just now, I would have immediately drawn my Spirit Sword and made you bleed from five steps away!”
?
“What the heck?”
Feng Yu Die propped her chin on her hand and smiled, saying:
“Actually, ever since I returned from Qiong Peak, I’ve been thinking about one thing.”
“What thing?”
“Why were you hugging and holding me?” Feng Yu Die tilted her head back to look at the sky. “I felt that you were like the scumbags my Master always talked about, trying to subtly trick me into marrying you. So, I had a sudden idea: if I proposed to marry you, and you agreed or hesitated, it would mean you had something to hide.”
Ye Anping was speechless but understood what she meant. He sighed with relief and said:
“The hugging and holding were irresistible forces.”
“How would I know what you’re thinking? You’re so scheming,” Feng Yu Die twirled her ear hair. “My Master always said that when I grew up, I’d be a stunningly beautiful girl, and many men would covet me, so I needed to be on guard.”
“So narcissistic?”
“What, do you think I’m ugly?”
Hearing this, Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die’s face. Perhaps because she had just finished practicing her sword, there was still a hint of moisture in her hair, making her look radiant. Coupled with her already delicate and exquisite features.
In an instant, Ye Anping’s heart was filled with conflict.
Frankly speaking, Feng Yu Die was no less attractive than anyone else, and she had white hair. In the game, there were many fanfictions featuring her, but…
He looked at Feng Yu Die’s face, but could not muster any thoughts.
He was certain that he was a man and possessed lustful desires.
Whether it was Senior Sister Xiao, Li Longling, Yun Yiyi, or anyone else, if a naked woman stood before him, he would more or less have some primal urges.
However, Feng Yu Die was like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Was she beautiful? Yes.
Did she have a good figure? Yes!
But seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva unclothed would only make one want to go home and pound wooden fish with all their might.
Ye Anping sighed softly and said:
“To be honest, you are quite good-looking.”
However, upon hearing this, the smile on Feng Yu Die’s face suddenly froze.
The next moment—
White light flashed, and the stone table and a roasted chicken on it were split in two.
“Hiss—”
Seeing this, Ye Anping quickly turned his head away. A sword qi flew past his cheek, cutting off a few strands of his hair. Although he dodged this sword qi, he couldn’t avoid Feng Yu Die’s advance.
“Ah?!” Xiao Tian was also startled and quickly reached out to pull Feng Yu Die’s hair, “Yu Die! What are you doing?!”
Unfortunately, it couldn’t grasp her.
Thump—
Swish—
Feng Yu Die pushed Ye Anping, who was sitting on the stone stool, to the ground. She straddled his belly, clamped his waist with her legs, and then held her Spirit Sword at his neck, her brows furrowed. She said:
“Heh! You were still trying to subtly lure me over, weren’t you? Heh, your true colors are showing now…”
Ye Anping looked at the sword blade held at his neck and asked with a frown:
“Do you want me to say you’re ugly?”
Feng Yu Die narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously:
“Stare~~~”
Ye Anping relaxed helplessly, admitting defeat:
“Alright, alright, you’re ugly. Is that enough?”
Perhaps it was because Ye Anping had admitted defeat, or perhaps it was his helpless expression now, but Feng Yu Die suddenly seemed very happy. She smiled, moved off him, and lay down beside Ye Anping with her Spirit Sword, laughing heartily:
“Hee— Hahaha…”
Ye Anping slowly sat up, placed his hands on his knees, and turned his head to look at Feng Yu Die lying on the grass, asking coldly:
“Satisfied?”
“Hehe— You killed Yun Kunwu, which means Yun Kunwu was inferior to you. And now you’re begging for mercy, so doesn’t that mean I’m more powerful than you?”
Ye Anping glanced at her sideways, sighed, and asked:
“You’re not concerned about the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao changing ownership?”
“I’m not concerned. If you can see Xiao Tian, then you can see it. Xiao Tian can have another person to talk to.” Feng Yu Die looked up at the sky and said, “My Master always told me that I was unique and the most powerful. But after seeing Yun Kunwu, I realized I was just a speck in the universe, nothing special. It’s perfectly normal for you to be able to see Xiao Tian.”
“It’s good that you can see it that way.”
Ye Anping stood up, patted the grass off his pants, and said:
“Get up, give me your hand.”
“Huh?” Feng Yu Die’s brows furrowed, and she stood up holding her shoulder. “What for? You want to touch me? I’m warning you, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re smart. I can cut you like cutting tofu.”
“Ah, yes, yes, yes. I’m going to return the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao to you.”
“Oh~~” Feng Yu Die nodded and offered her hand. “How do I do it?”
Ye Anping glanced at the Spirit Sword Feng Yu Die had placed beside her, sighed slightly, then tightly clasped her hand in his. He then turned to Xiao Tian:
“Xiao Tian, do it.”
Xiao Tian tilted its head. It didn’t know if their relationship had improved or worsened, but seeing the two of them holding hands, it felt relieved.
It pursed its lips and smiled, then took out the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao from its four-dimensional skirt pocket and opened the first page.
With a gentle wave of its small hand over the scroll, a golden light slowly swept across it.
Next to the words “Ye Anping” written in cursive on the first page, the name “Feng Yu Die” also appeared.
However, the name “Ye Anping” did not disappear.
It was more like a marriage certificate.
Xiao Tian nodded with satisfaction and put the scroll back into its small skirt pocket:
“Done!”
Ye Anping asked in confusion: “It’s that simple?”
“It’s just changing a name, and since you both wish it, it’s naturally simple,” Xiao Tian explained, “Last time Yun Kunwu tried to snatch it, so it was troublesome. Since you both wish for it, and I like both of you, changing the name is very easy.”
“You both wish for it? Let me see.”
Xiao Tian cowered and, without another word, flew into Feng Yu Die’s head, waving at Ye Anping:
“Anping, I’m tired. I’ll show you another day.”
Seeing its behavior, Ye Anping guessed that this guy had probably added both his and Feng Yu Die’s names together, but since it didn’t have any negative impact, he didn’t bother about it anymore.
He paused, then took out the stone tablet containing the first volume of the Xuan Yin Art, which he had obtained from Chi Long Mansion, from his Storage Bag and handed it to Feng Yu Die.
“Here, one of the promised rewards, the Xuan Yin Art.”
Feng Yu Die looked at the stone tablet and took it with both hands without saying much:
“Mm.”
“What? You don’t dislike it anymore? Didn’t you say you’d prefer Spirit Stones earlier?”
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips, looked at Ye Anping, and replied:
“Although I still really want Spirit Stones or Junior Sister Pei’s kiss, you specifically giving me a cultivation method means that this cultivation method must be very important, right?”
“… It is quite important to you. Take it and practice it well. This is only the first incomplete volume. I’ll give you the new incomplete volumes when I get them.”
Feng Yu Die squinted and smiled: “Okay!”
“Go back to your room and pack. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of Yun Jiu Manor. In a few more days, the Zhenghan of the Southern Domain will arrive, and it will be difficult to travel.”
Ye Anping sighed and turned to walk out of the garden. He felt inexplicably lighter, but when he reached the entrance, Feng Yu Die walked up holding the stone tablet, stopping him:
“Young Master Ye, wait a moment…”
“What?”
“…Do you need ‘que que’ to have children?”
Ye Anping blinked dumbfoundedly. After a long pause, he replied:
“…Yes.”
“Then when I and Junior Sister Pei have children in the future, can you lend us your ‘que que’?”
?
Ye Anping widened his eyes, a rare sight, and sternly reprimanded:
“Get back to your room and pack!!”
Feng Yu Die’s neck straightened from his shout. Seeing Ye Anping turn and leave, she pouted and complained:
“…It’s fine if you don’t lend it, why are you so fierce… Tsk, stingy.”
Ye Anping parted his lips slightly, not saying much, thinking that he should ask Xiao Yunluo to educate Feng Yu Die about what ‘que que’ was later.
“Sigh— Why do I feel like I’ve become her father? Having to worry about such things? Tsk, what did Grand Void True Person teach her?”
…
