Chapter 512: Senior Brother, Flipping the Ground
The sun sets on the western mountains, and lights flicker back to life on the street, illuminating a small area amidst
the Rift Valley and Chasm.
Although most of the Demonic cultivator in Tian Bei City had heard that the Moon Shadow Sword Sect was less than Three Thousand Li away, they still continued their revelries. Not a single person took the matter to heart, believing that Tian Bei City could not possibly be breached by an Immortal Family.
Gu Mingxin, wearing a mask and walking with small, pigeon-toed steps, strolled alone on the Heavenly Street. She suddenly spotted a figure on the second floor of a red-light district, a man supporting a woman by the window. She couldn’t help but stop and watch for a moment, a hint of longing in her eyes.
She recalled when she was in the Northern Region, Lu Meimei, who often accompanied her, would often be behind a screen with a man she had abducted from who-knows-where, engaging in worldly pleasures.
At the time, she found it rather dull and had never been interested in such matters.
But now, every time she thought about the intimate night she shared with Ye Anping, she couldn’t help but giggle:
“Hee hee hee… hee hee…”
Then—
*Bang*—
Xue E delivered a flying kick directly to her forehead, shattering her thoughts. She crossed her arms and reprimanded her,
“Mingxin! Remember to apologize to Ye Anping when you see him later. Do you understand?!”
Gu Mingxin pursed her lips, waving Xue E away. Pouting, she replied grumpily,
“Apologize for what? He wasn’t proactive, so I had to be.”
“Apologize! Ye Anping is really angry. He’s a Sword Sect disciple, after all. Immortal families’ Dual Cultivation emphasizes love between a man and a woman, with mutual affection. It’s not like demonic cultivation, where you just take whoever you want… You’ll be with Anping in the future, and if you continue like this, Ye Anping will definitely hate you!”
“Why make it so complicated? I love him, he loves me, and we’ll Dual Cultivate. It’s such a simple matter, why overcomplicate it?”
“Ah… no, this… in any case, apologize later and say you’ll never do it again! Do you understand?!”
“I won’t!”
Gu Mingxin pouted and hmph-ed, her cheeks gradually flushing. Full of anticipation, she said,
“Tonight, I’ll climb into his bed too, hee hee… If you and that dumb idiot hadn’t interrupted last night, I could have been with him until dawn.”
Xue E was speechless. She glanced at Gu Mingxin’s still somewhat awkward gait and scoffed,
“Mingxin, you can barely walk steadily, and you’re talking about dawn? Ye Anping’s Yang Energy is already stronger than average due to his cultivation method, and you’re a first-time recipient of his… bloom.”
Gu Mingxin pouted and quickly pretended to be fine, resuming her normal posture. She said,
“Are you annoying or what? You chatter all day, useless person.”
Xue E could only helplessly remind her,
“Mingxin, you must remember to apologize later.”
Gu Mingxin simply ignored her, continuing to scan the sides of the street, searching for Ye Anping’s figure.
Earlier, she saw Feng Yu Die return with three Sword Sect disciples, but Ye Anping wasn’t with them. This meant it was the perfect time to approach Ye Anping without anyone else interfering.
She planned to steal Ye Anping a few times behind the dumbass’s back. Then, when the time was right, she would confess to the dumbass, “Your Ye Anping has long belonged to me.” At that moment, the dumbass would surely show an expression that would excite her.
Gu Mingxin felt happy just thinking about it. Nothing brought her more joy than seeing someone she disliked show a look of despair. And she truly loved Ye Anping.
He was the only man in this world who had caused her so much trouble.
The only man before whom she would willingly kneel and beg.
The thought of the pain Ye Anping had brought her last night made it impossible for her to control the corners of her mouth…
“Hee hee… Hee hee hee…”
Gu Mingxin’s exquisite laughter at this moment sent a shiver down the spines of some Demonic cultivator walking beside her. They quickly skirted around her, burying their heads.
Seeing her like this, Xue E felt a sense of powerlessness. All she could think about now was discussing Gu Mingxin’s psychological issues with Ye Anping later.
Gu Mingxin continued her small, pigeon-toed steps down the street, searching for Ye Anping. Just as she turned a corner, she saw a man and woman embracing.
Ye Anping, wearing Kong Huayuan’s human-skin mask, leered at Gong Tianchan, who was holding his arm. His restless left hand had already reached beneath her ample bosom, and they were chatting and laughing.
“Heh heh… Senior Gong, your ‘moon’ is truly magnificent…”
“Does Lord Liang like it? I heard the two people Lord Liang brought before were flat as pancakes. I thought Lord Liang preferred that kind.”
“Heh heh… How could that be? Senior Gong is Lord Liang’s current favorite. Shall we return to the mansion soon? Lord Liang is becoming impatient…”
Hearing this, Gu Mingxin’s initially calm crimson eyes widened slightly.
Seeing that her Mingxin seemed about to rush forward and attack, Xue E quickly blocked her view with her body, spreading her hands and saying,
“Mingxin, Ye Anping is just acting.”
“I know…”
Gu Mingxin gave Gong Tianchan a cold look. Seeing that the two had walked far away, she quickly increased the frequency of her small steps and chased after them like a female ghost.
“Ah? Mingxin, don’t be rash! Ye Anping must have his own plan…”
“…I know.”
… …
Playing the role of his “lecherous Elder Liang,” Ye Anping accompanied Gong Tianchan as they strolled along the Heavenly Street towards her mansion. His heart was truly filled with impatience.
Ye Anping wanted to quickly get to a place where no one else was around with Gong Tianchan, and then—
—strangle her to death.
The bewitching techniques of a Bewitching cultivator did indeed stir a person’s emotions to a great extent.
He admitted that his emotions had been stirred by her.
Now, every time he looked at Gong Tianchan, Ye Anping felt as though he was desecrating the memory of his cute and sensible Junior Sister. His heart pounded, and he felt like a pressure cooker, on the verge of exploding.
Gong Tianchan heard Ye Anping’s heartbeat thumping wildly and, believing he was completely captivated by her bewitching technique, no longer held back. She asked,
“Lord Liang… do you want to possess the entire Tian Bei Mansion…”
“Tian Bei Mansion? What use do I have for it…” Ye Anping understood her scheme and played along with a smile, saying, “I only want Senior Gong now…”
Gong Tianchan was quite satisfied with his answer. She said,
“But I want it. This Tian Bei Mansion was originally mine. Who knew my father would suddenly pick up a wild colt from the mountains and give him the Young Master’s position… I had no choice but to accept, but ultimately, I am still a descendant of the Gong family. It pains me to pass on the family business to an outsider…”
Ye Anping put on a troubled expression:
“Young Master Gong? But how could I possibly compete with the Young Master Gong…”
“Father dotes on you,” Gong Tianchan smiled, deliberately pulling his hand towards her clothes and fawningly asking, “If I help you become the Young Master of Tian Bei City, will you give Tian Bei Mansion to me?”
“If that were the case, Lord Liang would gladly hand it over. Lord Liang only seeks to be with you…”
“Lord Liang is so good to me~ I like you more and more…”
“Heh heh…”
As they chatted and laughed, Ye Anping and Gong Tianchan arrived at a mansion bearing the sign “Princess’s Mansion.” The servants and maidservants waiting at the door immediately stepped forward to greet them upon seeing them embrace.
“Young Miss, the sleeping quarters are ready.”
Gong Tianchan narrowed her eyes and smiled, holding Ye Anping’s arm as she waved them away, saying,
“From now on, you will call Lord Liang ‘Son-in-law,’ understand? When Lord Liang and I are occupied later, you all better be attentive. If you disturb us… I’ll peel all your skins off.”
“““Yes.”””
After dismissing the maids and servants, Gong Tianchan seemed impatient. She pulled Ye Anping into the mansion and quickly walked along the corridor towards the sleeping quarters at the back.
After pushing open the double doors adorned with carvings of flowers and birds, Gong Tianchan released Ye Anping’s shoulder. She unbuckled her belt, pulled down her shoulder, and shed her clothes one by one, walking with a cat-like gait to the bed. She crossed her legs and beckoned Ye Anping to undress and join her.
Ye Anping smiled, turned around, and closed the double doors. He then took out four talismans for soundproofing and spiritual sense concealment from his Storage Bag and, with a wave of his hand, affixed them around the sleeping quarters.
?
Gong Tianchan blinked in surprise but paid it no mind. She spread her legs apart and said,
“Lord Liang~~”
Ye Anping smiled and slowly unbuckled his belt, turning around and walking towards Gong Tianchan. Just as he reached her and was about to summon his Spirit Sword—
*Whoosh*—
A breeze blew open the window on the opposite side.
Along with the breeze came a black figure and a blood-red Spirit Sword.
Gong Tianchan turned her head in confusion, but the red light had already swept past her neck.
Gu Mingxin stood to one side, gritting her teeth. She flicked the blood from her Spirit Sword onto the ground, then glared at Gong Tianchan with bloodshot eyes and asked ferociously,
“Who gave you the guts to seduce my Ye Anping?! Hmm?!”
Gong Tianchan clearly tried to say something, and her eyes darted towards Gu Mingxin. But before her lips even parted, her head fell from her shoulders, landing beside Ye Anping’s boots.
Gu Mingxin stepped forward and stomped on her head. Just then, Xue E phased through the wall and into the room. Seeing the scene inside the sleeping quarters, she was immediately startled. She quickly ran to Ye Anping, bowed, and apologized,
“Ye Anping, I’m sorry! I tried to advise Mingxin… she…”
“Hoo…” Ye Anping let out a soft breath. “It’s fine. I was planning to kill her anyway. Were you seen by anyone when you came in?”
“No, I was watching…”
“Mm.”
Ye Anping nodded. He then looked at Gu Mingxin, who was already stomping Gong Tianchan’s head into an olive shape, and decided to find her to discuss last night’s events. He called out,
“Agu…”
Hearing Ye Anping call her name, Gu Mingxin quickly withdrew her foot, her eyes sparkling as she turned around with a smile,
“Ye Anping~ Hee hee…”
She walked closer, yanked Gong Tianchan’s limp body away from the bedside, and tossed it aside. Then, she grabbed Ye Anping’s hands, brought her face close to his, and said,
“We were interrupted last night, let’s continue… hee hee…”
“Hiss—Agu.” Ye Anping frowned immediately. “You… mmph—”
Before he could finish, Gu Mingxin kissed him, then flipped him onto the blood-stained bed.
Ye Anping paused for a moment, then immediately took out a chain from his Storage Bag. However, before he could use it, Gu Mingxin quickly pinned his hands down again.
“Ye Anping~ Ye Anping… hee hee hee—”
Xue E, watching from the side, was stunned. She quickly flew over and tugged Gu Mingxin’s hair, trying to pull her away,
“Mingxin!! Calm down!!!”
But how could Gu Mingxin endure it? She hadn’t had enough last night. Even though Xue E was stronger than Xiao Tian, she couldn’t hold back a determined Gu Mingxin.
*Hmm?*
Xiao Tian, who had been sleeping in Ye Anping’s Soul Realm, seemed to sense what was happening outside. She poked her head out and saw Gu Mingxin pinning his Anping on the bed, with a Demonic cultivator cut in half nearby. Her face turned completely blank.
“Dumb Guy!! Come help me pull Mingxin! She’s… going into heat!! Eek…”
*Ah?*
Xiao Tian blinked in surprise and quickly ran over. Without a word, she joined Xue E in pulling Gu Mingxin’s hair, but the effect was negligible.
It wasn’t until Ye Anping seized an opportunity while Gu Mingxin was tearing at his clothes that he hooked her waist with his foot and twisted her to the side, managing to reverse their positions.
“Hee hee…”
“… …”
Ye Anping was now breathing a little heavily from exertion. Looking down at Gu Mingxin, whom he had finally managed to subdue, he furrowed his brows slightly and said,
“Agu, if you continue like this, I will get truly angry.”
“Get angry~ I want to see you angry too, hee hee… How about whipping me? Or strangling me? Or chopping off my hands and feet…” Gu Mingxin’s crimson eyes revealed endless affection. “Hee hee… Ye Anping, I’ll love whatever you do to me…”
Ye Anping glanced at Xue E and the bewildered Xiao Tian beside him, then shifted his gaze back to Gu Mingxin’s face. He said,
“Xiao Tian, Xue E, you two go and stand guard outside.”
“Ah? Ye Anping…” “Anping…”
Ye Anping raised his voice in rare anger, “I told you to go stand guard outside!!”
“Oh…” “…”
The two little creatures flinched in fear, not daring to say anything further. They turned and phased through the wall, flying outside.
After they left, Ye Anping released Gu Mingxin’s hands and tilted his head, looking down at her.
“Turn around and get on your hands and knees.”
!!
“Mm? Okay… hee hee…”
Gu Mingxin’s eyes lit up. She giggled and turned halfway, assuming a cat-like stretching pose…
Hearing the rustling of clothes behind her, she turned her head to look but was immediately hit by a sudden impact, causing her to straighten her back involuntarily. She looked up at the ceiling, sticking out her tongue.
“Eeeek!!”
… …
Meow~~ Meow meow~~
Inside the Princess’s Mansion, two or three stray cats cried out in the spring moonlight.
Due to Gong Tianchan’s orders, the mansion guards patrolling the sleeping quarters had disappeared. Only two unseen figures, one golden and one black, sat beneath the eaves, staring blankly at the crescent moon, which had already formed a sharp angle across the horizon.
To be honest, they both wanted to go inside and see what was happening.
But thinking of Ye Anping’s angry expression just now, neither Xiao Tian nor Xue E wanted to court disaster, so they waited outside.
Xiao Tian had considered calling Feng Yu Die over, but this was the Princess’s Mansion. If Feng Yu Die were discovered sneaking in, it would undoubtedly cause huge problems. So, for now, she could only dutifully wait here.
Xue E glanced at Xiao Tian and decided not to speak.
Given Mingxin’s personality, she was also worried about how she would apologize to Ye Anping later, fearing that her Mingxin would anger him and he would kick them both out.
“Sigh…”
“Why are you sighing, you blackie!! I want to sigh too!! Hmph!!” Hearing Xue E’s sigh, Xiao Tian’s annoyance only increased. She immediately stood up, clenched her fists, “Damn it, blackie!”
Seeing that they were about to fight again, Xue E held the hilt of the wooden sword on her back, preparing to defend herself.
But just as they were about to clash, Ye Anping’s voice came from inside the house:
“Xue E, Xiao Tian…”
The two little creatures paused slightly. They quickly dropped their fighting stances, turned, and dove headfirst through the roof tiles, rushing into the house.
However, upon entering and seeing the scene inside, both of them immediately froze.
Ye Anping was now dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed, while Gu Mingxin’s eyes were rolled back, frothing at the mouth and convulsing on the bed, as if she had consumed ten pounds of arsenic.
“… …” “…”
After a moment of stunned silence, Xue E quickly flew to Gu Mingxin’s side, peered at her with a shocked expression, and then looked at Ye Anping with disbelief, asking,
“Ye Anping, how could you…”
“All show and no substance…” Ye Anping shrugged slightly. “Xue E, stay with her. When she wakes up, tell her to peel Gong Tianchan’s face off and make a mask for herself to wear.”
“…Okay.”
Ye Anping took a moment to recover, stood up from the bed, took out two talismans, threw them at Gong Tianchan’s head at the foot of the bed to preserve it, and then raised his hand, letting Xiao Tian land on his hand.
“We’re going back. Keep an eye on the city guards patrolling outside the mansion.”
“Oh…”
Xiao Tian glanced at Gu Mingxin again, swallowed, seeming to want to ask something but not daring to. She then settled back onto Ye Anping’s shoulder, and together they climbed out of the window and onto the roof.
Once on the roof of the sleeping quarters, Ye Anping surveyed the surroundings of the Princess’s Mansion and asked,
“Which side has fewer guards?”
Xiao Tian blinked, looking around to the left and right, and pointed to the southeast.
“Over there… Anping, what did you do to that Gu woman…”
“Elder Wang of Xuan Xing Sect once said that unless it’s a female cultivator a whole major realm higher than me, they almost always want to hide themselves away. Can’t the land be ploughed? Heh, I’ll just flip the whole field over for her.”
Ye Anping explained with a cold smile, causing Xiao Tian to swallow hard.
Xiao Tian looked back at the sleeping quarters behind them and, without thinking too much, quickly guided him along a less guarded route, out of the Princess’s Mansion, and back towards the Blood Hell Mansion.
