Chapter 390: Senior Brother, After back and forth, a roasted chicken
Cackle~~ Cackle cackle~~
The sun’s bright scalp peeked out from beyond the western mountains, and Tianfeng Immortal City welcomed a new day.
In the main pavilion of the Commander’s Mansion, the deer beast weapons hanging on the wall and the white tiger carpet on the floor showcased the owner’s demeanor. Xu Mulan, dressed in a black python robe, had not slept all night.
With the help of Young Master Xiao and others, the Snow-clothed Guard of Tianfeng Immortal City had exterminated a total of seventy Foundation Establishment Stage demonic cultivators, four Core Formation Stage demonic cultivators, and one Nascent Soul Stage demonic cultivator.
This was undoubtedly a great achievement, not to mention leaving a name in history, it was definitely enough to be summoned and rewarded by the Empress.
However, the price paid for this was the fall of twenty Foundation Establishment Stage Snow-clothed Guards and one Core Formation Stage Snow-clothed Guard, as well as the sixty-nine people in the Commander’s Mansion who were either seriously or lightly injured.
Therefore, heartache was inevitable. These people had been loyal warriors by her side for decades…
However, Xu Mulan knew that no matter how upset she was, she absolutely could not show it.
The Snow-clothed Guard were also the guardians of the Hantian Kingdom, and she was the Commander of the Snow-clothed Guard of Tianfeng Immortal City, also representing the Snow-clothed Guard in the eyes of ordinary cultivators around Tianfeng Immortal City.
She needed to give the cultivators in the city a reason to feel at ease – as long as she was still alive, Tianfeng Immortal City would never be occupied by demonic cultivators.
Calming the people and maintaining morale were also her responsibilities.
But in the end, she was also a person, and a woman at that.
Since becoming the Commander of the Snow-clothed Guard, for decades, her feminine side had been buried deep in her heart.
The things accumulated in her heart gradually turned into pressure, pressing down on her shoulders, which were already burdened by the great watermelon.
She couldn’t even find someone to confide in now…
“Sigh… If only someone could be by my side at this moment… I’m so tired~~”
Xu Mulan, seemingly overwhelmed, slumped onto the table, turned her face to look out the window, and the scene from eight days ago suddenly replayed in her mind:
Just as she was about to die under the fist armor of the body cultivator, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her.
Although he was a youth who barely reached her chin, he was like the Great Wall to the east of the Northern Region, making her feel incredibly safe.
In a dazzling exchange of blows with that body cultivator, in just ten breaths, the opponent was directly killed. Then, he calmly walked up to her and gently helped her up, as she couldn’t stand…
“So handsome…”
The great watermelon on the table was deformed, and a faint blush appeared on Xu Mulan’s cheeks.
However, when she thought about the young man who could make her lower her head, he was looking at her sister, Xu Xiyue…
She felt waves of bitterness in her chest.
If Ye Anping were just the young master of an ordinary small sect, it would be fine.
She was at the late Core Formation Stage, and Ye Anping was only at the early Core Formation Stage.
As long as she sent her proposal to the Hundred Lotus Sect, Ye Anping’s father would definitely not refuse. Even if she had to force the marriage, she could marry him.
But the problem was, the women beside Ye Anping were all of high status…
Pei Lianxue, Li Longling, Xiao Yunluo…
Not to mention Feng Yu Die. A few days ago, she asked an old gentleman from the Commander’s Mansion about the golden dragon and silver hair. The old gentleman said that the former Saint Emperor of the immortal families also had silver hair and a companion golden dragon.
She couldn’t afford to offend any of them…
Unless Ye Anping actively took a liking to her, she had no chance.
“Such a perfect person, why would he like my sister… If my sister doesn’t want him, then maybe… No, no.”
Xu Mulan felt herself having wicked thoughts and quickly sat up, shaking her head.
It was at this moment that two knocks came from outside the door.
Bang bang—
Xu Mulan took a deep breath, assumed the majestic demeanor of a Snow-clothed Guard Commander, picked up the ink brush beside her, and replied coldly:
“Please come in.”
Creak—
“Excuse me.” Xu Xiyue’s soft voice came from the doorway.
Xu Mulan was slightly stunned and looked up.
She saw Xu Xiyue holding a basket, bowing obediently, closing the door, and walking to her side. She placed the basket on the table:
“Sister, I heard you were injured, so I brought you some sweet fruits.”
“Ah… yes.” Xu Mulan avoided her gaze, nodded faintly, and rubbed her head. “I almost didn’t get to see you. It was Young Master Ye who saved me.”
Xu Xiyue pursed her lips and nodded:
“Yes, I’ll go thank him later. I’ve been practicing the two cultivation methods he gave me, and I feel like I’m making rapid progress. Perhaps by next year, when I reach Foundation Establishment, I can join the Snow-clothed Guard and help you, Sister.”
Then she asked:
“Where is Senior Ye?”
“Young Master Ye is seriously injured and is recuperating in the main hall of the Commander’s Mansion.”
“Oh… Was he seriously injured saving you?”
“You could say that… The doctor said he almost lost his life, and it was Fairy Feng who saved him using… a very special method.”
Xu Xiyue’s eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She silently added ten points to Ye Anping in her heart.
Dying to save her sister was enough to show Senior Ye’s sincerity towards her sister.
Xu Xiyue nodded and said:
“Sister, I think Senior Ye is quite good. Would you consider him? Since he saved your life and gave me such good cultivation methods. Although there are many girls around him, but…”
He likes you, you silly girl!
Xu Mulan wanted to say this sentence very much at this moment, but looking at her sister’s innocent eyes, for some reason, she couldn’t say it at all.
Xu Xiyue was her only family member in this world.
She was very scared now, afraid that after saying this, Xu Xiyue would follow Ye Anping to the Western Regions and leave her alone in Tianfeng Immortal City.
The Western Regions and the Northern Regions were thousands of miles apart, and she was the Commander of the Snow-clothed Guard.
If Xu Xiyue left, her sisters might not even see each other once in several years.
Xu Mulan bit her lip and suddenly reached out to pull Xu Xiyue into her arms, hugging her tightly:
“Xiyue, my sister…”
“Ah… Sister, what are you doing?!”
It was like a deathbed farewell. Xu Mulan hugged her sister as if for the last time, caressing her sister’s hair one last time.
But in the end, she took a deep breath and mustered up her courage:
“Hiss—Xiyue, listen to me…”
“Um… what?”
“…”
Xu Mulan’s lips parted slightly, and looking at her sister’s dazed face, she simply stood up, took her little hand, and dragged her out:
“Xiyue, come with me… I’ll take you to find Young Master Ye, and let him tell you in person.”
“Ah? Tell… tell what?”
Xu Xiyue was completely confused, but she couldn’t resist her sister’s forceful pull, so she followed her out of the pavilion.
The two of them walked along the corridor in the Commander’s Mansion and soon arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
Two Snow-clothed Guards stood at the door, fulfilling their duties. Seeing the two sisters arrive, they showed embarrassed expressions and bowed:
“Commander Xu…”
“How is Young Master Ye?”
“Uh…”
One answered vaguely, while the other hesitated for a long time and awkwardly hinted:
“Senior Pei and Young Master Xiao are inside.”
Xu Mulan clearly didn’t understand the hint. She nodded and thought that since Ye Anping’s two wives were both present, she would let Ye Anping confess to her sister in front of his wives.
“Just right.”
“???”
What did she mean by “just right”? Was she going to add more chopsticks?
The two Snow-clothed Guards were slightly stunned, but Xu Mulan had already reached out and pushed open the door. Startled, they quickly cupped their hands, lowered their heads, and slowly retreated two steps.
“Ye…”
As the word left her lips, it abruptly stopped.
A cold wind slowly blew into the hall through the open wooden door.
Xu Mulan’s jaw slowly dropped, gradually approaching her great watermelon.
By the bed that had been temporarily moved into the main hall, a Spirit Sword and the clothes of two young women were scattered.
Three pairs of feet, one large and two small, were exposed under the quilt on the bed.
The two fair and smooth small feet were like two hands, wrapping around the feet of the person in the middle.
Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue slept soundly with their eyes closed, leaning on Ye Anping’s shoulders. As if disturbed by the cold wind that blew in when Xu Mulan opened the door, they instinctively snuggled closer to Ye Anping.
If there was only one person, Xu Mulan could still accept it…
She had heard of healing methods using dual cultivation, and Ye Anping was, after all, a person with cultivation partners.
But…
Two?!!
They were actually intertwined!
Xu Xiyue was also stunned beside her sister, feeling a little shy but also very curious. She kept glancing to the side, but couldn’t help but look back.
“Sister, this…”
“…”
Xu Mulan was completely stunned. Ye Anping was so seriously injured, yet he didn’t rest well on the night he woke up, but called two people over to be with him.
…
————
Whoosh~~
The cold wind blew in, and Ye Anping, who hadn’t slept well to begin with, slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the soreness in his shoulders, he looked left and right at the two sleeping figures.
The memories of last night surfaced in his mind.
Ye Anping was a little helpless. He had pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed all night, letting them do as they pleased until dawn before they finally fell asleep beside him.
It was at this moment that a delicate voice came from the doorway.
“Sister, this…”
Ye Anping’s heart rate instantly returned to normal. He turned his eyes towards the doorway.
He saw Xu Xiyue and Xu Mulan, one tall and one small, standing against the light, their faces as dark as if they were about to leave.
Oh my god!
Ye Anping exclaimed in his heart. The perfect image he had worked so hard to maintain in the hearts of the Xu Mulan sisters had probably flown away towards Ye Tianchong at this moment.
Explaining hastily now would undoubtedly be the worst option…
It was better to continue pretending to be asleep.
He would explain after the two at the door calmed down…
“Wuwu…”
“?! ”
Pei Lianxue squeezed her eyes slightly and opened them. Ye Anping quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.
She groggily glanced at her senior brother’s profile, then suddenly noticed the two people standing at the door and immediately shrunk her neck.
“Commander Xu and…”
Seeing that Pei Lianxue had woken up, Xu Mulan also came back to her senses. She quickly covered Xu Xiyue’s eyes and, turning her head, walked outside.
“Excuse me!”
Bang—
The wooden door was closed with force.
Xiao Yunluo, leaning on Ye Anping’s left shoulder, was startled and quickly sat up. Seeing Pei Lianxue looking at her with a blank expression, she asked in a low voice, full of confusion:
“Lian… Lianxue, what’s wrong?”
“Commander Xu came in just now, and then left.”
“…Ah?”
Xiao Yunluo’s face immediately turned embarrassed. She pursed her lips with a blush and looked down at Ye Anping, who was pretending to sleep, then lowered her voice:
“Then… shall we go back first? While Anping is still asleep…”
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and slowly shook her head:
“No.”
“It’s okay… we’ll come back tonight. We’ll make something to eat later. Anping doesn’t have the ability to abstain from grains, and he hasn’t eaten anything after sleeping for eight days.”
Ye Anping:?
“Um… I’ll cook. I know Senior Brother’s preferences.”
“Okay!”
Ye Anping lay there, feeling a sense of powerlessness, then heard rustling sounds beside him and felt two people crawling on him…
“Lianxue… help me get my clothes, they’re by you… my legs are weak…”
“Here…”
“Lianxue, aren’t your legs weak?”
“Weak…”
Rustling—
The sound of two people dressing came from his ears. Ye Anping slightly opened his eyes to look, and then saw his junior sister and Xiao Yunluo sitting by the bed, putting on their shoes, and helping each other stand up. They slowly moved towards the door.
Creak—
They carefully pushed the door open and then carefully closed it.
“…”
The room returned to silence. The rich fragrance of the tranquilizing incense was refreshing. Ye Anping sighed with a tired heart, slightly moved his numb shoulders, and gazed thoughtfully at the ceiling of the hall.
Ye Anping had never actually thought of starting a harem.
At least, when he was still just an ordinary cannon fodder young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, he hadn’t thought of it.
He had planned to live a peaceful life with Xiyue and his junior sister in the Hundred Lotus Sect in the future.
But…
“Alas…”
Could this also be due to “Reverse Star”?
In other words, the harem was a fortuitous encounter he had snatched from Feng Yu Die?
This interpretation seemed plausible. Feng Yu Die’s harem in the game had indeed helped her countless times.
In this case, he couldn’t abolish his Nine Yuan Heart Method and re-cultivate another one. Otherwise, given the physiques of his junior sister and Yunluo, how could he withstand it?!
Ye Anping quickly shook his head:
“Hoo… The Grand Tutor of Hantian Kingdom should have received the map I drew and should have started cleansing the demonic cultivators in the Northern Region. If Gu Mingxin could die at the hands of the Grand Tutor of Hantian Kingdom… Alas, it’s unlikely, isn’t it? If she could die so easily, that would be great.”
Thinking of this, Ye Anping frowned slightly.
In fact, if Jiang Mojiao hadn’t charged in at the last moment, he would have had a seventy percent chance of killing Gu Mingxin.
No matter how powerful Gu Mingxin was, she would have had no chance of turning the tables if she were besieged by four Golden Core cultivators who already worked well together: him, Feng Yu Die, his junior sister, and Yunluo.
It could be said that Jiang Mojiao saved her life, but it could also be said that the Heavenly Dao saved her life.
“Hasn’t it been her fated time yet? Or perhaps…”
Ye Anping rubbed his forehead and stopped thinking about it. He decided to find Madam Si upon returning to the Xuan Xing Sect and ask her carefully about what celestial phenomena she had seen.
And why did she give Gu Mingxin a bell?
He stopped thinking.
It was better to rest now.
Ye Anping sighed again and closed his eyes.
However, the next moment, a dazzling golden little person drilled out of his forehead, floated into the air, and stretched lazily.
“Wuwu~~~ Haa—Anping, good morning!”
“…”
Xiao Tian circled in the air, then lay on his chest, swinging its legs. But suddenly it realized something was wrong:
“Hmm? Anping, why aren’t you wearing clothes when you sleep?”
“…”
Ye Anping opened his eyes, gave it a glare, and then closed his eyes to continue sleeping.
“Aiya! Anping, the early bird catches the worm! Get up quickly~ The sun is shining on your butt~”
“I’m injured.”
“Didn’t Yu Die heal you yesterday?”
“…Internal injuries.”
“Hmm?”
Xiao Tian didn’t quite understand. Just then, a soy sauce-like aroma wafted in from outside the room.
*Pa—*
“Young Master Ye! Are you awake? I baked you a roasted chicken.”
“…”
Feng Yu Die kicked open the door, holding a plate of roasted chicken. Seeing Ye Anping with his eyes wide open, lying flat on the bed, she shrunk her neck slightly:
“Young Master Ye, why are you sleeping naked?”
—
“Hiss—How many times have I told you, knock before entering?!!!”
“Oh…” Feng Yu Die cowered her neck aggrievedly. “Why are you so fierce…”
“Get out!!”
A surge of spiritual power leaped from Ye Anping’s right hand. He snatched the roasted chicken from Feng Yu Die’s hand and flicked it out the door.
“Hey?! My roasted chicken!!”
Seeing this, Feng Yu Die quickly rushed out and caught the roasted chicken steadily. Just as she turned to come back, she saw the hall door close with a “bang” driven by a surge of spiritual power.
Standing outside the door, Feng Yu Die pouted aggrievedly, looked at the roasted chicken in her hand, then furrowed her brow:
“If you don’t eat it, I’ll eat it myself! Hmph~~~”
She then sat cross-legged outside the door, pushed the door open a crack, and began to devour it with great gusto.
“Slurp slurp~”
The enticing sound of saliva and the aroma of soy sauce drifted through the crack in the door, reaching Ye Anping’s nose. He didn’t have the ability to abstain from grains and had slept for seven days.
Gulp~~
His stomach growled loudly, and Xiao Tian chuckled, covering its mouth with its paw:
“Anping~~ Hungry?”
Ye Anping sighed wearily, then sat up, picked up his clothes from the floor, put them on, and slowly walked to the door.
Creak—
He pushed the door open, and Feng Yu Die turned her head to look. Seeing Ye Anping staring at her from top to bottom, she narrowed her eyes and smiled:
“Hee hee~~ Hungry, right? Here!”
Then she handed him the roasted chicken she had already taken two bites of.
“Thank you.”
Ye Anping sighed helplessly, took the roasted chicken, looked around, and said:
“Let’s go eat in the garden. Help me get a wheelchair, my legs haven’t recovered yet.”
“Okay~”
Feng Yu Die nodded. With a gust of wind, she quickly ran along the corridor to the adjacent medical clinic, brought back a wheelchair, helped Ye Anping sit in it, and then pushed him towards the garden behind the Commander’s Mansion.

Ps: This volume is also coming to an end.
The title of this volume is “Cold Sky Ice and Snow Accompanied by Fire Phoenix, Golden Dragon Hunts the Northern Blood Python.”
There should be about one more chapter for daily life. I need to temporarily conclude the long-term character Xu Xiyue. Then, the male protagonist will meet the Empress, and upon returning, Madam Si will mention “not enough tickles.”
As for Agu, her situation is quite tragic. She was the only one among the demonic cultivators who came to the Northern Region to return alive, and then…
The next volume is tentatively scheduled for the plot of the Eastern Great Wall in the Central Domain. The three Yun family children and a eunuch will all appear, and the secondary Golden Core can also be sold.
