Chapter 311 Old Loli, Nine Dragon Celestial Seal
Changyu Street in the West District is the most prosperous area of Tianan City. The several-mile-long street is mostly lined with luxury shops selling jewelry and small trinkets, as well as inns and teahouses for hospitality. Therefore, many rogue cultivators traveling to Tianan City, and their cultivation partners, would come here for dates and strolls.
Ye Anping held an umbrella and walked beside Si Xuanji, accompanying her as she wandered aimlessly on the street.
To outsiders, they looked like a young cultivation couple who had Arrived From Afar, the man gentle and handsome, the woman lively and cute, and extremely well-matched.
The two stopped at a small stall selling hairpins. Si Xuanji glanced at them and then picked up a hairpin, placing it against her black and white braided hair to try it on.
“Young Master Ye, what do you think? Is it pretty?”
“…It’s pretty.”
Si Xuanji pouted and put the hairpin back. She complained, “That’s perfunctory.”
Ye Anping was a little helpless and could only coax her. He scanned the hairpins on the stall and picked out another one. He walked up and inserted it into Si Xuanji’s hair bun. After a closer look, he said, “I think this hairpin matches Miss Xuanji better. It’s carved with a Yin-yang fish, which complements Miss Xuanji’s Yin-yang heteromorphic eyes.”
“That’s more like it.”
Si Xuanji fiddled with the hairpin Ye Anping had placed on her head, but she didn’t buy it and put it back. Then she continued to walk forward.
Seeing this, Ye Anping sighed slightly. He directly asked the stall owner for the price. It wasn’t expensive, so he bought the hairpin. Then he caught up and reinserted it into Si Xuanji’s hair bun.
“Hm?”
“When shopping with a young lady, how can I not buy her a gift?”
Si Xuanji fiddled with the hairpin on her head and asked back with a sly smile, “Does Young Master Ye giving me a hairpin mean you want to pursue this young lady?”
Ye Anping quickly smiled and replied, “It’s just a thank-you gift. Miss Xuanji’s illusion pendant that you lent me before was of great help. If not for that pendant when I was at Moon Shadow Sword Sect, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
Si Xuanji tilted her head, “Is that the truth?”
“Of course it’s the truth, it’s just a thank-you gift.”
“Sigh… This young lady thought you fancied me. If that were the case, wouldn’t this young lady have unknowingly snatched your sister’s partner? Then she would definitely resent me, her sister.”
*You know that, and you still asked me to accompany you shopping?* Ye Anping felt speechless inside, but since Si Xuanji wanted him to accompany her shopping, he could only oblige. He had to go along with her, otherwise, she would be upset, and if she was upset, he would get spanked.
However, come to think of it.
Why did Si Xuanji always act like this when she approached him? He remembered the last time this old woman came, she even padded her chest specifically. In the game, although she pretended to be a Xuan Xing Sect Disciple to approach Feng Yu Die, her goal was only to entrust Xiao Yunluo to Feng Yu Die, not to flirt with Feng Yu Die. But now…
Ye Anping pondered for a moment and finally asked, “Miss Xuanji, when we first met, you told me I could ask you for help to resolve my Yang Energy…”
“Hm?”
Hearing this, Si Xuanji’s eyes immediately lit up. She stopped and turned to face Ye Anping. “So, Young Master Ye wants this young lady to help you resolve your Yang Energy now?”
“No…” Ye Anping paused and said, “I’m just a little confused. When we first met, you promised me such a thing. And if I understood correctly, resolving Yang Energy refers to Dual Cultivation, right?”
Si Xuanji pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then asked, “Mm… Young Master Ye wants to know why I am willing to go that far for you, even disregarding my own purity?”
“Mm.”
“Young Master Ye, due to my cultivation method, I cannot have children, and naturally, I won’t have a marriage partner in the future. As a woman who will forever be alone, what value does purity have? It’s better to use this purity to help someone like you.”
Although Ye Anping already knew this, he quickly showed a surprised expression. “Miss Xuanji cannot have children?”
“Mm,” Si Xuanji nodded. A hint of helplessness appeared in her Yin-yang eyes, but she still smiled with pursed lips. “Young Master Ye, you are someone who defies fate. Consider this young lady wanting to curry favor with you. I only hope that when I am in trouble in the future, Young Master Ye won’t forget about this young lady. That’s all.”
“… …”
“Young Master Ye, do you accept this reason?”
Ye Anping hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, “Miss Xuanji doesn’t need to intentionally make me owe you a favor. If Miss Xuanji has any difficulties, just say it directly. If I can do it, I naturally won’t refuse.”
“Is that so?” Si Xuanji shook her head slightly and said, “It’s not that I don’t believe Young Master Ye, but Young Master Ye is not an innocent child either. You should understand that the word ‘promise’ is worthless on the scale of a cultivator’s lifespan.”
Ye Anping gave a wry smile. “Miss Xuanji is perhaps too pessimistic.”
“If I am pessimistic, then it’s a good thing. A daughter being sentimental is not unusual.”
Si Xuanji squinted and smiled. After pondering for a moment, she directly put her arm around Ye Anping’s shoulder and tilted her head, asking, “Speaking of which, how are you and my sister getting along? Three years ago, when I first met Young Master Ye, the Yin-yang jade pendant I gave you, did you show it to my sister?”
“…Not yet.”
“Hm? So Young Master Ye doesn’t like my sister?” Si Xuanji hesitated for a moment and helped him out. “Although my sister can be a bit childish at times, she has a simple and kind heart, and her family background is also very good. Among the young lords of the various Immortal Family sects, she is quite a good girl. Where does Young Master Ye find fault with my sister?”
Ye Anping was silent for a moment and made an excuse. “It’s not that I dislike her. Senior Sister Xiao is naturally a very good girl, but I am only at Mid Foundation Establishment and still young. It’s not yet time to discuss marriage.”
“So, you like her?”
“Miss Xuanji, is there such a thing as black and white in this world?”
Si Xuanji pursed her lips and smirked. “Then do you like me more, or my sister more?”
“… …”
“Just kidding. This question will definitely put Young Master Ye in a difficult position.”
Ye Anping let out a soft sigh. “Hoo—”
Si Xuanji shrugged slightly, then took out a drawing from her Storage Bag and handed it to Ye Anping. “My sister and I came to the Imperial Sect for this item. I hope Young Master Ye can help us find it as well.”
The topic finally became serious, and Ye Anping was slightly relieved. He looked down at the drawing. It depicted a Nine Dragon Jade Seal, named “Nine Dragon Celestial Seal,” an ancient artifact related to Xiao Yunluo’s background.
Si Xuanji had been searching for this item for a hundred years. In the game, she had also lured Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo to the Imperial Sect in the Central Domain because of this jade seal. However, in the game, Si Xuanji didn’t tell Feng Yu Die straightforwardly that she was looking for this item.
Ye Anping hesitated for a moment and asked, “Miss Xuanji, is this a jade seal?”
“Mm, this is an ancient treasure called the ‘Nine Dragon Celestial Seal.’ I only know that it should be within Tianan City, but I don’t know its exact location.”
“If even Miss Xuanji doesn’t know where this item is, how can I possibly find it?”
“It is said that the ‘Nine Dragon Celestial Seal’ is guided by destiny. Since Young Master Ye can defy fate, perhaps this item will be drawn to you?”
“This way…”
