Chapter 328: Senior Brother, Feng Yu Die would never be so girlish!
In the early morning, shops on both sides of Longyu Street were already removing their door panels to open for business. Male cultivators could be seen everywhere, accompanying girls to buy things.
Ye Anping, wearing a black Daoist robe, walked along one side of the street, looking left and right at the pavilions lining the road.
Before he even entered this street, he had already smelled an extremely strong scent of rouge. Now, seeing for himself, it was indeed as he had imagined: the entire street was filled with shops selling rouge, cosmetics, and immortal clothes. Although he wanted to buy something to give to his junior sister, he knew nothing about these things. He was sure that if he went in to buy something, he would be ripped off, so he decided against it, planning to bring his junior sister here later so she could pick it out herself.
However, Ye Anping failed to notice.
Feng Yu Die, walking beside him and gnawing on a roasted chicken she was holding, had her eyes light up as soon as they entered the street. Her gaze darted between the various shops, her face clearly showing “Like!” and “Want!” and “Buy!”.
When she was little, Grand Void True Person had taken her to wander through the Immortal City and told her: “These mundane things are insignificant. Moreover, you are naturally beautiful, and applying these earthly products would only obscure your own celestial grace.”
Feng Yu Die understood this logic, but she genuinely liked these things. When she was with Grand Void True Person, she was poor and couldn’t afford them. But in the past few years, following Ye Anping, she had earned a lot of spirit stones. With money, she wanted to buy! This was only natural.
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips and glanced at Ye Anping walking beside her. After thinking for a moment, she simply reached out and grabbed Ye Anping’s sleeve, half dragging and half pulling him towards a nearby rouge shop.
“Young Master Ye, come in and browse with me!”
Ye Anping was dragged by her to the shop with the sign “Immortal Rouge House.” He looked up at the shop name, then turned to look at Feng Yu Die, confusion evident in his eyes.
“Just for a little while! We’re already here, and there’s no hurry.” Feng Yu Die said to herself, pulling his sleeve and forcefully dragging him into the shop.
Perhaps because it was still early, there weren’t many customers in the shop. A female cultivator with light makeup was dozing at the counter. Seeing two customers arrive, she quickly sized them up, put on a welcoming smile, and asked, “Oh? You two don’t look like you’re from Tian’an. It’s my first time seeing you. Are you here to buy rouge?”
Seeing the shopkeeper’s gaze, Ye Anping felt a mix of emotions. He knew from that one sentence that the shopkeeper probably saw them as easy targets and would try to overcharge them.
“Ai—” Ye Anping sighed, glancing at Feng Yu Die, who was still holding his sleeve. He assumed she knew as little about rouge as he did, only that it was something applied to the face. So, he reminded her, “Senior Sister Feng, don’t buy things you don’t understand.”
“Hm?” Feng Yu Die looked back with confusion, but then she pursed her lips and smiled, proudly pulling him to the counter. “Boss, I want some Luokui rouge. Can you recommend one for me…”
“Please wait a moment, girl. I’ll get it for you.” The shopkeeper glanced at Feng Yu Die’s face and quickly went to a shelf on the side. She brought back four or five rouge boxes and placed them on the counter. “Take a look, girl. You’re naturally beautiful, so heavy makeup might not suit you. These colors are quite light. Try them on?”
Feng Yu Die smiled, picked up a box, opened it, sniffed it, and then rubbed a bit between her fingers. “Is this Su Ling Wood? Is this the Northern Xue family’s rouge?”
The shopkeeper’s eyebrows shot up when she saw Feng Yu Die’s reaction. “Miss is an expert! You can tell just by touching it.”
“Hehe~” Seeing that Feng Yu Die wasn’t ignorant of these things, the shopkeeper, though regretting not being able to overcharge her, also showed a joyful expression of meeting a kindred spirit. The two began to chat about the rouge boxes on the counter.
Ye Anping, who had been waiting, showed a rare look of surprise. He listened to the two of them speaking in terms he couldn’t understand at all, his gaze shifting between Feng Yu Die, who was seriously selecting rouge, and the half-eaten roasted chicken on the counter. After recalling for a while, he remembered that the game’s description had mentioned something about it. Feng Yu Die, ever since she got together with Xiao Yunluo, had been using Xiao Yunluo’s precious fragrant liquids, face creams, and lip rouges every day… Come to think of it, she really was a girl…
Her silver hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her clear eyes focused on the shopkeeper speaking to her. Her cherry lips moved, sounding very cheerful. Her jade-like fingers lightly smeared the rouge in the box, then touched it to her lips for a taste…
*Slap—!*
Ye Anping suddenly slapped his own forehead, lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then began to ponder life. Just a moment ago, he had felt that Feng Yu Die was beautiful… But after realizing it, he suddenly felt as if he had been turned gay, his heart filled with mixed feelings, and his anus tightened. Speaking of which, the Feng Yu Die in the game did seem to have the setting of “innate charm,” otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to attract so many girls. But…
“Young Master Ye?”
“Young Master?”
Feng Yu Die and the shopkeeper were both startled by Ye Anping’s sudden slap, looking at him with looks of horror. Ye Anping quickly snapped back to reality, looked up at Feng Yu Die again, and thought that this was probably due to the fate linkage, with the Heavenly Dao subtly changing his perception of Feng Yu Die. However, Si Xuanji had said he was someone who defied the heavens. The mere Heavenly Dao…
Ye Anping was silent for a moment, then looked at the half-roasted chicken on the counter. He immediately reached out, pulled off a chicken leg, and thrust it towards Feng Yu Die’s mouth like a sword.
*Puff—*
“Ugh—”
Feng Yu Die stared at Ye Anping stuffing a chicken leg into her mouth, completely bewildered, and remained stunned for a long time.
Seeing Feng Yu Die with a chicken leg in her mouth, Ye Anping finally breathed a sigh of relief – Feng Yu Die eating roasted chicken was more normal.
“It’ll get cold. Eat it while it’s hot.”
Feng Yu Die blinked her eyes, sucked the meat into her mouth, pulled out the chicken bone with a “pop,” cheekily chewing with bulging cheeks, she asked, “I’m trying on rouge…”
“Mm, you can eat it yourself later.” Although slightly confused, Feng Yu Die didn’t say anything else. She swallowed the chicken meat, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then used her fingers to apply some rouge to her face, asking the shopkeeper for a bronze mirror. Under the rouge, her already beautiful face became even more radiant and tender. She turned her face left and right, pursed her lips, and smiled, then turned to look at Ye Anping and asked, “Does it look good?”
Ye Anping averted his gaze and perfunctorily nodded. “…It’s alright.”
“If you say it’s alright, then it looks good. If you think it looks good, then Junior Sister Pei will definitely think it looks good too, hehe…” Feng Yu Die muttered to herself, closed the rouge box, narrowed her eyes at the shopkeeper, and asked, “How much is it?”
“Since Miss is an expert, I’ll give you the real price. 300 spirit stones, and I’m only making a 10% profit. How about it?”
Feng Yu Die felt it was reasonable and nodded. “Then I’ll take it. Please pack it for me.” After saying this, Feng Yu Die bared her teeth and turned to look at Ye Anping. “Hehe…”
Ye Anping blinked slightly and asked, “What for?”
Feng Yu Die smiled and reached out. “Buy it for me.”
Ye Anping glanced at the rouge and asked, “Two hundred… Don’t you have money yourself?”
“Doesn’t something bought by oneself feel less special than something given by another?” Feng Yu Die blinked her eyes and nudged Ye Anping with her elbow. “We’ve known each other for so long, and you haven’t given me anything, hehe~~”
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her and turned to leave. “Buy it yourself.”
Seeing him like this, Feng Yu Die pouted in dissatisfaction. After thinking for a moment, she followed him with a smile. “Young Master Ye, if you don’t buy it for me~~”
“What then?”
“I’ll tell Junior Sister Pei that you asked Senior Sister Xiao to dance for you.”
Ye Anping stopped in his tracks, squinted at Feng Yu Die’s smiling face, then looked back at the shopkeeper’s expression that seemed to say, “Why is this person like this? He’s too stingy to buy something worth two hundred yuan…” He turned back, took two hundred spirit stones from his storage bag, and placed them on the table. Anyway, when they divided the spoils later, he would just give her 200 less spirit stones. It was like an advance payment.
Seeing that he had paid, Feng Yu Die was overjoyed. She quickly leaned in. “Thank you, Young Master Ye, hehe—”
Ye Anping sneered and turned to walk out of the shop.
“Heh…”
“Hey—don’t walk so fast, wait up…” Feng Yu Die quickly told the shopkeeper to pack the rouge, grabbed the half-roasted chicken that was missing a leg from the counter, and chased after him.
Feng Yu Die followed behind Ye Anping, looking left and right at the shops on both sides, wanting to go into every one of them. However, Ye Anping did not oblige her. He didn’t slow down or let her pull his sleeve. So, Feng Yu Die had no choice but to give up on browsing.
“What’s wrong? It’s not like we’re in a hurry. It doesn’t cost much to accompany me for a bit… I also want to go shopping with Junior Sister Pei.”
Ye Anping glanced at her and sighed. “You’re still interested in these girly things?”
Feng Yu Die twisted her eyebrows. “What do you mean? I’m a girl myself.”
“If you’re a girl, why do you like girls?”
“That’s not contradictory,” Feng Yu Die pouted. “Can’t you wear a skirt and still like girls?”
Ye Anping wanted to say something but stopped. He gave up on arguing about her sexual orientation. Seeing that Xiao Tian wasn’t around and there was no one else nearby, he directly asked, “Forget it, where’s Xiao Tian? Why isn’t it out?”
“It got tired a few days ago when that demonic cultivator appeared,” Feng Yu Die shrugged slightly. “That Golden Dragon called ‘Old Nine’ was summoned using its spiritual energy. Every time Old Nine is summoned, it has to sleep for a long time…”
Perhaps hearing Ye Anping call her, Feng Yu Die said this, and a golden light immediately emerged from Feng Yu Die’s brow. Xiao Tian rubbed its eyes and lazily stretched.
“Anping, did you call me?”
“Are you still sleepy? Go back to sleep if you are. There’s no rush.”
“It’s fine…” Xiao Tian shook its head, then looked around. Seeing Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die walking on a street selling rouge and cosmetics, and seeing that its Yu Die was holding a box of rouge, it immediately woke up. “Hm? Yu Die, did Anping give you this rouge?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Oh~~” Xiao Tian’s eyes lit up. It floated onto Ye Anping’s shoulder and poked his face with its small hands. “Anping, have you opened your heart? You’re actually giving Yu Die rouge… Giving rouge is a sign of seeking a romantic connection, isn’t it?”
Hearing this, Feng Yu Die was stunned. She looked at the rouge in her hand and then realized. She quickly interrupted, “Seeking a romantic connection? What are you talking about?”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Xiao Tian covered its mouth and giggled. It then changed the subject, becoming serious. “Anping, did you see that demonic cultivator earlier? That black python, and the artifact spirit.”
“Mm.” Ye Anping nodded slightly, then looked at Feng Yu Die and said, “That person is named Gu Ming Xin, a direct disciple of the Tian Mo Sect Master. She is a person of great misfortune, with Yin opposing your Yang, and your fates are incompatible. She possesses a Tian Mo Book Scroll that looks very similar to your Heavenly Scroll of the Dao. We will definitely meet her again, so you need to be prepared in advance.”
“Yin opposing Yang…”
“Yes, where there is Yin, there is Yang. Like sweet and bitter, flying birds and swimming fish, sun and moon, night and day… You are the destined one, and she is the harbinger of misfortune. In the end, one of you will surely die.”
Feng Yu Die nodded, took a bite of roasted chicken, and said, “No wonder I felt a strange feeling the first time I saw her. Like a fated enemy?”
“More or less.” Ye Anping nodded. After pondering for a while, he asked, “What percentage of confidence do you have in killing her now?”
“Hmm…” Feng Yu Die tilted her head in thought and replied frankly, “One hundred percent!”
“Your cultivation is lower than hers, and you haven’t mastered the Xuan Yin Art yet. One hundred percent? What gives you such confidence?”
Feng Yu Die blinked her eyes and grinned at Ye Anping. “Of course, it’s you, Young Master Ye!”
“… ”
Xiao Tian was also quite happy to hear this, feeling as if its Yu Die had finally awakened. Although it knew that wasn’t the case.
“Anping, that person is alone, but Yu Die and you are two people.”
“What if you encounter her when I’m not around?”
Feng Yu Die thought for a moment and said, “That would probably be within your expectations, right? You’ll definitely help me then, you’re so meticulous with your plans.”
Hearing this, Ye Anping didn’t know what to say. In the game, at this time, his grave would have been overgrown with grass ten feet high. Yet now, not only had he attracted Gu Ming Xin’s attention, but he had also become connected to the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao. He could say with certainty that because of him, this variable, Gu Ming Xin was unlikely to act according to the game’s plot. She would definitely target him. The most crucial issue was that Feng Yu Die had already reached the brink of Core Formation during the Imperial Sect incident, but perhaps because he had taken away some of her destiny, she was still stuck at the threshold of Late Foundation Establishment.
“Senior Sister Feng.”
“Hm?”
“I can’t predict everything. You also need to use your own judgment to deal with her.”
A trace of worry appeared on Ye Anping’s face. Seeing his expression, Feng Yu Die finally understood that the demonic cultivator from before was probably someone even Ye Anping found difficult to deal with. She lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, looked at the roasted chicken in her arms, and then pulled off a chicken wing and stuffed it into Ye Anping’s mouth.
“Have some roasted chicken. After eating it, all your worries will disappear.”
Ye Anping, holding the chicken wing in his mouth, glanced at her, his eye twitching. This girl had chipped his front teeth…
“… ”
“Is it delicious?”
Ye Anping sighed, feeling a little weary, and sucked the chicken wing into his mouth, shaking his head. “It’s alright… Also, don’t offer me roasted chicken that I bought for you.”
“Hey~ Don’t worry about it, as long as it’s delicious, right? Buy me another one later, I haven’t had enough.”
“Let’s go to Tian Ge first. Miss Su has been hanging in the dungeon for over half a month; we need to get her out. We’ll have to put on a show afterward.”
“A show? What kind of show?”
“Breaking the Prison.”
