Chapter 514: Senior Brother, Will Not Stop
Fifth Watch, winter cicadas chirping loudly.
After leaving the prison, Ye Anping brought Feng Yu Die back to the sleeping quarters. After a short period of Qi Cultivation, he lit a Spirit Stone Lantern and spread the map of Tian Bei City on the desk by the window, marking it with an ink pen.
It would take about three more days for the Moon Shadow Sword Sect to reach Tian Bei City. For the next three days, he would have to maintain his persona as a lust-crazed “Liang Da Liu”. Naturally, he couldn’t return to the Blood Prison Mansion every day to look after Feng Yu Die and Yun Jiujiu.
Therefore, he also had to explain the upcoming matters clearly to Feng Yu Die.
“Yu Die, you’ll have to go to the city gate alone then and find a way to open it directly, allowing the Sword Sect disciples to enter and slay the demons. As for Yun Jiujiu, have her cause a scene as I told you before.”
“Mm… What about Young Master Ye?”
“Gu Mingxin and I will go directly to find Gong Yimo. If you’re quick, you can come and help. I estimate at least seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators will be guarding him.”
Ye Anping lowered his eyes and pointed to the map, drawing a route. Then he looked at Xiao Tian, who was holding the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao and diligently taking notes, and said,
“Xiao Tian, adapt as needed. This route is just a reference.”
“Okay! I remember…”
Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die, and, just like before, he took out several brocade pouches that he had written long ago from his Storage Bag and placed them on the table, patiently reminding her:
“If anything unexpected happens, look at these brocade pouches. Understand?”
“Okay!”
Feng Yu Die treasured the ten or so brocade pouches as if they were treasures, putting them into her Storage Bag. She planned to take her time to read them one by one later. Then, she looked up at Ye Anping’s face and inexplicably giggled twice:
“Hehe…”
Ye Anping shook his head slightly, preparing to head back to Gu Mingxin’s place from the Blood Prison Mansion. Thinking that Gu Mingxin should have woken up by now given her physique, he turned towards the window:
“If anything comes up, have Xiao Tian tell me. I’ll be going now. I probably won’t be back for a few days. You and Yun Jiujiu just stay put…”
“Ah…”
Hearing Ye Anping say he wouldn’t be back for a few days, the smile on Feng Yu Die’s face instantly froze.
Watching Ye Anping walk towards the window and put on his mask, she hurried over and gently tugged on his hand:
“Young Master Ye…”
“Hmm?”
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips, lowering her head and smiling nervously, asking:
“Can I have a kiss? I won’t be able to see you for the next few days…”
Ye Anping, who had already half-opened the window, fell silent upon hearing this. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Feng Yu Die shrunk her head again and said in a small voice:
“If you don’t want to, then a hug would be fine too…”
“…”
There’s no harm without comparison.
Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die’s shy demeanor, and couldn’t help but compare it to Gu Mingxin’s forceful actions.
Logically speaking, even if Feng Yu Die were to force herself on him, he would still be unable to resist and would have to accept his fate.
But now, as long as he didn’t agree, Feng Yu Die would probably accept it. At most, she would pout with dissatisfaction and then back off.
‘Be a little kinder to her.’
Ye Anping thought to himself, let out a soft sigh, and closed the window he had opened.
Creak—clack.
The friction of the window latch made Feng Yu Die’s eyes light up.
She quickly tilted her head up, closed her eyes, and faced Ye Anping with an expectant expression.
Ye Anping hesitated for a moment, then raised his right hand, brushed aside the silver hair by her ear, leaned down slightly, and closed his eyes.
Their lips met.
Chu—
Three breaths later, they separated.
Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes and asked, “Done?”
“Mm! Done… hehe—” Feng Yu Die squinted and smiled. “Young Master Ye, you be careful too.”
“Mm…”
Ye Anping nodded, then pulled on his black mask, pushed open the window, and climbed onto the roof. He cautiously glanced at the maidservants patrolling and on night duty within the Blood Prison Mansion. Finding an opening, he leaped from one eave to another, escaping the Blood Prison Mansion and rushing back towards the Princess Mansion.
Feng Yu Die watched from the window as Ye Anping leaped away. Only then did she, like a lady of a deep boudoir seeing off her lover who had come for a clandestine rendezvous, reach out and pull the window shut. Acting as if nothing had happened, she walked back to the map he had marked with a serious expression. She opened the brocade pouches Ye Anping had given her one by one and, following the map, reviewed the tasks she had to do in her mind.
Her golden eyes narrowed, as if a sword spirit’s light was flowing within her pupils.
Her silver hair cascaded down, like an immortal descending into the mortal realm, captivating and entrancing.
Seeing this, Xiao Tian was also a little surprised. It had rarely seen its Yu Die adopt such a serious demeanor. It immediately landed on the table and asked:
“Yu Die, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong?” Feng Yu Die turned to look at it.
“It’s just that I feel like you’ve suddenly become a different person, like you’ve grown up~”
“Young Master Ye said I’m cuter when I’m more serious. And…” Feng Yu Die lowered her eyes, revealing a hint of worry. “The matters in the Northern Region… and before in Donghuang Immortal City, Young Master Ye was badly injured. I don’t want him to get hurt again.”
Feng Yu Die raised her hand and gently covered her chest, murmuring softly:
“Perhaps I liked him from the very beginning, not Junior Sister Pei…”
Xiao Tian smiled like an aunt, twisting its body in a cringeworthy way: “Ew~~”
“What are you laughing at? You should use that golden brain of yours and think if there’s anything Young Master Ye hasn’t anticipated.”
…

Meanwhile.
In the back sleeping quarters of the Princess Mansion, Gong Tianchan’s head and body were separated at the bedside, just like before. The blood flowing onto the floor had already solidified in layers.
Gu Mingxin lay naked on the bed. Thanks to her innate Blood Fiend physique, her recovery speed was much faster than ordinary cultivators.
At this moment, her spiritual sense was gradually awakening. Her eyelashes twitched, and she slowly opened her dazed crimson eyes, looking up at the canopy of the four-poster bed with a bit of confusion, her mind a mess.
She remembered Ye Anping telling her to lie down.
Then…
“Mingxin, are you awake?”
As Gu Mingxin was recalling what had just happened, Xue E entered her line of sight, looking helpless and amused. She crossed her arms and watched her, as if saying “you deserve it.”
“Ooooh~~”
Gu Mingxin clutched her forehead and sat up slightly. Only now did she remember the “intimacy” from before, and instantly felt something was very wrong.
When she and Lu Meimei dual cultivated with the male cultivators they captured in the Northern Region, the man would usually either faint or beg for mercy within the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
But Ye Anping…
Xue E shook her head and sighed, pointing to Gong Tianchan’s head, which had been pasted with a preservative talisman, and said:
“Mingxin, Ye Anping told you to peel off this Gong girl’s face and make a mask for yourself.”
“…Where is Ye Anping?”
“He’s returned to the Blood Prison Mansion. He should be back soon.”
“Didn’t he faint?”
“Ye Anping is very energetic! I feel like he stopped because he was afraid you couldn’t handle it.” Xue E floated down, put her hands on her hips, and reprimanded, “Mingxin, aren’t you asking for trouble? See? You made Ye Anping angry… Does it feel good? Ignoring Xue E’s advice, you suffer in the end!”
Gu Mingxin rolled her eyes at it, still somewhat disbelieving.
She was very confident in her own body. If she couldn’t handle it, who in this world could withstand Ye Anping?
It must be that Ye Anping secretly used some pills or magical artifacts to drug her.
Or perhaps, Ye Anping was also just putting on a brave face, like a cultivator fighting a desperate battle, sacrificing their life. Because he didn’t want to be overpowered by her, he had to save face and act energetic, when in reality, he was close to fainting.
“Mingxin, when he comes back later, remember to apologize? Otherwise, who knows how Ye Anping will punish you, hmph!”
Gu Mingxin pouted, ignoring it completely. Hearing Xue E say they were going to make a mask out of Gong Tianchan too, she gritted her teeth and endured the soreness in her body, shuffling to pick up Gong Tianchan’s head.
However, as soon as she moved to the bedside, she lost her strength.
Bang—
Gu Mingxin fell face-first, her butt sticking up in the air.
Seeing her pathetic state, Xue E found it somewhat amusing. She sighed and jumped off the bed, saying:
“You’re just stubborn! I’ll have Ye Anping punish you more later, and then you’ll know true pain.”
“Hmph…”
Gu Mingxin sneered disdainfully, gritting her teeth and using all her strength to barely prop herself up. But halfway through, she lost her strength again, and fell face-first once more.
It was at this moment that tap tap—
Two faint footsteps sounded from the roof.
Hearing that Ye Anping was back, Gu Mingxin’s brow furrowed abruptly. She forcefully crawled back onto the bed, sat on the edge with her legs bent, and put on an air of being completely unbothered, pretending to comb her hair.
“…Sigh—”
Seeing her like this, Xue E felt a headache coming on and shook her head in resignation. Then, she looked towards the window and saw Ye Anping push open the crack in the window from the outside and jump in.
After landing, Ye Anping turned and closed the window. Seeing that Gu Mingxin had also woken up and was sitting at the foot of the bed, like a wealthy woman who had just had her fun, combing her hair, he paused for a moment and then walked over:
“Awake?”
“I woke up long ago.” Gu Mingxin pursed her lips like a cat. “Ye Anping, if you want to punish me, there’s no need to drug me with medicine or magical artifacts, right? I know you’re strong, but you don’t need to pretend. Be careful not to ruin your body.”
?
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment. Looking at her somewhat smug expression, the corners of his eyes twitched. Then, he glanced at Gong Tianchan’s lifeless head, sat on the edge of the bed, and said:
“Now that Gong Yue knows that he and Gong Tianchan were spending a spring night, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared…”
Ye Anping directly unbuckled his belt and took off his deep blue night robe. He turned to look at her:
“Continue?”
Seeing his actions, Gu Mingxin thought he was just trying to scare her. She revealed a sheepish smile and replied:
“Okay… I couldn’t ask for more~ Hehe—”
Ye Anping tilted his head and looked at Xue E by his side, ordering: “Xue E, go outside and keep watch.”
Xue E fell silent for a moment, then suddenly seemed to recall something and asked:
“Ye Anping, can you let me see your Soul Realm? The Tian Mo Book Scroll has your name on it, and I haven’t been inside to see it yet.”
Through the Soul Realm, one could understand a person’s detailed physical condition. Although she had been with Ye Anping for quite some time, to be honest, apart from the Inquiring Sword Art that Ye Anping had performed before, she had no idea about his Golden Core or cultivation method.
Ye Anping pondered for a moment and felt that it was not a big deal, so he agreed.
“Mm.”
Upon his agreement, Xue E didn’t say another word. With a leap, she plunged directly into Ye Anping’s forehead, disappearing without a trace.
Ye Anping ignored it and turned his gaze back to Gu Mingxin. Then, he climbed onto the bed, lifted her chin, and made her look directly into his eyes.
There was not the slightest hint of pity in his deep purple eyes. He opened his mouth slightly:
“A’Gu.”
“Mm~”
“I’m telling you upfront, I won’t stop until the Moon Shadow Sword Sect arrives. You can make the first move.”
“…Mm?”
Plop—
Gu Mingxin’s body tensed visibly. Before she could react, she was pushed onto the bed by a pair of hands. She immediately gripped the somewhat messy bedsheets.
However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the bedsheets slipped from the fingertips of those pale white hands once more. Her small hands lay palm-up on the bed, her fingers trembled, and then she went still…
…
