The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 521

Chapter 520: Senior Brother, I’m the Flowers and Grass

Boom…

Hum…

Several Sword Sect Immortal Ships crossed the towering city walls of Tian Bei City, hovering a hundred feet above the street.

Nearly a thousand Moon Shadow Sword Sect disciples descended from the decks of the Immortal Ships like divine soldiers, followed by elders and senior brothers, clearing out the Demonic cultivators who had come seeking refuge, street by street.

Although many Demonic cultivators still chose to resist, with the city gates breached and Gong Yue fallen, the remaining city guards and their Nascent Soul stage elders were bound to be helpless.

It was only a matter of time before the Sword Sect’s banner would fly above the walls of Tian Bei City.

The sleeping quarters behind the Blood Prison Manor were tightly shut, doors and windows closed. Tables, chairs, and screens lay strewn across the floor, and books from the shelves were scattered in the corners, as if looted by someone.

Ye Anping sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, concentrating his Qi.

Gu Mingxin and Feng Yu Die sat on either side of him, legs spread apart. One used spirit medicine to help Ye Anping clean his bruises and wounds, while the other slowly channeled Spring Aspect spirit Qi into his body. Each focused on their task, remarkably refraining from glaring at each other or arguing.

Sensing the heavy Killing Aura within Ye Anping, Feng Yu Die glared at Gu Mingxin with dissatisfaction.

“Dark one! Weren’t you always by Young Master Ye’s side? How did he get such a heavy Killing Aura… Useless! You used to say Young Master Ye always protected me, and if it were you, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt at all?! What do you say now?”

?

Gu Mingxin, who was applying medicine, paused slightly. She looked at Ye Anping’s abdomen, already blackened with bruises, and retorted, “White one! Ye Anping’s abdominal wounds are so severe, what do you say about that? He was with you at the time, and he was punched by a body cultivator. Why didn’t you block it for him?

Besides, it’s his own fault for being reckless. If he hadn’t intervened, it would have been easy for me to deal with Gong Yimo…”

Hearing them bicker again, Ye Anping, with a face full of fatigue, slowly opened his eyes and glanced at them.

“Can you let me concentrate my Qi in peace?”

“Oh…” “Mm…”

“Sigh…”

Ye Anping sighed helplessly and was about to close his eyes again to continue clearing the wounds and Killing Aura in his meridians.

However, just as he half-closed his eyes…

“Waaah!!!”

Xiao Tian, who had previously entered Ye Anping’s soul realm to help him clear his meridians, suddenly let out a yell and rushed out. With an angry look, she glanced around, rolled up her sleeves, and flew to Gu Mingxin’s forehead, repeatedly knocking on it.

Dong dong dong…

Gu Mingxin stared at Xiao Tian, unable to swat it away due to holding the medicine bottle, and could only look at it as if it were an idiot.

“Darkie! You come out!!! You trashed my room, didn’t you? Huh?!!”

Xue E’s annoyed head popped out from Gu Mingxin’s forehead. Seeing Xiao Tian kick towards her face, she immediately crossed her arms to block.

Bang—

“Are you crazy, you golden idiot! What is ‘my room’? Ye Anping gave it to me, so it’s my room now. Can’t I redecorate it myself?”

“Your room, my foot! I’ve always lived there!! I planted every tree in there myself. How is it your room?!”

“Ye Anping promised I could enter, so his soul realm is my home now. You go back and live in your own idiotic brain!”

Hearing this, Xiao Tian turned to look at Ye Anping, looking wronged. But she didn’t care. With a yell, she kicked Xue E again, but Xue E, as expected, blocked it all with her wooden sword.

“Darkie! Let’s go!! Let’s have a one-on-one match!!”

“Am I afraid of you?! Hmph!”

Watching the two little ones start fighting again, Ye Anping shook his head with a sense of despair. He had no intention of interfering now and forcibly ignored them, closing his eyes to concentrate his Qi.

But it was at this moment that the door to the sleeping quarters was pushed open from the outside.

Yun Jiujiu, with her long, slightly curly golden hair, entered with a wooden basin. Seeing Ye Anping attended by two women, a gloomy expression flashed across her face. She then approached.

“Brother-in-law, sis… I brought a basin of hot water. Should I help you wash up? You’re covered in blood…”

Ye Anping, somewhat helplessly, stopped concentrating his Qi and asked, “Jiujiu, how are the three Sword Sect disciples you brought?”

“One lost an arm. It’s not a big problem. I went to see them earlier and told them to meet up with the other Sword Sect disciples…”

Seeing that Ye Anping didn’t refuse, Yun Jiujiu immediately took off her small wooden clogs, knelt behind Ye Anping, and used a clean handkerchief dipped in hot water to wipe away the bloodstains on his face and body.

“The servants of the Blood Prison Manor must have sensed something was wrong and moved all the valuables in the manor to try and escape the city. I caught two and cut them down…”

“Mm…”

Ye Anping didn’t say anything. The “Blood Prison Elder” was a minor official, and there wasn’t much to gain from the manor. Although there was a storage vault in the back, he had already checked it. Most of the contents were Heavenly Treasures used by Demonic cultivators, which he couldn’t sell. Moreover, keeping them in his storage bag would contaminate the spirit treasures.

While the Tian Bei City Lord’s mansion should have some good things, Tian Bei City had already fallen into the hands of the Sword Sect anyway.

Once he recovered, he could go and take some things.

However, what disappointed him slightly was Shen Xin’s spirit sword, “Corrosive Demon.”

Ye Anping originally planned to give “Corrosive Demon” to Feng Yu Die after obtaining it.

But he didn’t know before that the sword had a spiritual possession effect, allowing “Shen Xin” to descend upon the holder.

Although there was a complete side quest in the game regarding this sword, players who obtained it didn’t have “Shen Xin” possess them.

Now that he knew, let alone giving it to Feng Yu Die, he himself didn’t dare to touch that spirit sword directly.

Ye Anping glanced at the dark spirit sword wrapped in cloth on the wall, its hilt and blade covered, and sighed softly.

“Mm, it’s fine.”

“…”

After his words, Yun Jiujiu said nothing more. Xiao Tian and Xue E had also gone outside to fight, so the room fell silent again.

However, while the surface was calm, the interior was not.

The three people surrounding Ye Anping seemed lost in thought, but fearing they would disturb his recovery, they remained silent.

But in the next moment…

A powerful spirit pressure surged in from outside, followed by a “boom,” as if someone had fallen from the sky and crashed to the ground.

Ye Anping’s injuries had not yet healed, and the spirit pressure pressing down on him was quite uncomfortable, causing him to frown slightly.

But before he could speak, dozens of golden spirit arcs flashed across the door of the sleeping quarters, which then shattered into wood chips with a roar.

Yun Tianchong, clad in blood-stained golden robes, his eyes wide with anger, stepped over the threshold with his sword and entered the room.

“You… surnamed Liang!!!”

He stopped mid-sentence after uttering the fourth word.

Seeing Ye Anping sitting cross-legged on the bed, with three women attending to him, Yun Tianchong’s expression slowly turned confused, and his jaw dropped.

“You…”

“Mm?”

“No. Young Master Ye, why are you here?”

Ye Anping hesitated to speak, and in the end, remained silent.

“…”

“Hiss—” Yun Tianchong took a deep breath, placed his spirit sword aside, and asked, ” That surname Liang guy?”

“Alas… Sect Master Yun, I am the newly appointed Elder Liang of Tian Bei City. Did you not realize when I used the Blood Sea Sorrow Array to help you kill Gong Yue?”

“Realize… No, where’s Jiujiu?”

??

At this question, two question marks appeared above the heads of Ye Anping and Yun Jiujiu.

Ye Anping looked at Yun Jiujiu behind him with confusion and replied with a furrowed brow, “Isn’t this…”

“…”

Yun Tianchong stared at Yun Jiujiu’s face behind Ye Anping for a long time before connecting her with his second daughter. He always felt his second daughter wasn’t this well-behaved and hadn’t recognized her at first glance when she entered the room.

“Jiu’er?! You…”

*Crack—*

Yun Jiujiu gritted her teeth, threw the handkerchief into the wooden basin, stood up, leaped, and punched him directly in the abdomen, folding him in half and sending him flying out of the sleeping quarters.

“F*** your ass, old man!! Didn’t you see brother-in-law is injured? Why aren’t you quickly retracting that damn spirit technique of yours!! Can brother-in-law take it?”

Yun Tianchong slid all the way into the garden outside the hall. He sat up, looking incredulous, and asked, “This… Jiu’er? You… you’re okay.”

“I’m perfectly fine, old man!!”

Yun Jiujiu cursed, then instantly suppressed her agitated expression, turned around obediently, and said, “Brother-in-law, you rest well. I’ll talk to him.”

“…Mm.”

Ye Anping didn’t know what expression to wear. After nodding, he decided to tune out everything and resolutely closed his eyes again to concentrate his Qi, determined not to open them no matter what happened.

Yun Jiujiu nodded apologetically at Ye Anping, then quickly rushed out, grabbed her father by the back of his collar, and dragged him out of the courtyard into the garden outside.

“Jiu’er, weren’t you captured by the new Elder Liang of Tian Bei City and… became his cultivation cauldron?”

Yun Jiujiu rolled her eyes at him. Hands on her hips, she stood on her tiptoes and said, “The new Elder Liang is my brother-in-law. He impersonated a Demonic cultivator to help the Sword Sect break the city.”

“I see…”

Yun Tianchong rubbed his nose bridge and pondered for a moment before piecing things together. If “the surname Liang guy” was Ye Anping, then Yun Jiujiu was fine.

However, at this moment, he noticed the red mark on Yun Jiujiu’s neck from the collar she was previously wearing and asked, “Then what’s this red mark? Could it be that surnamed Ye really…?”

“He’s my brother-in-law!!!”

“Then you’re not…”

“What about me?”

“Now all the Sword Sect disciples think you’re dead, and what happened before has spread. Many disciples heard that you were tortured to death by the new Elder Liang of Tian Bei City…”

Yun Jiujiu frowned in confusion and retorted, “So what? Just say it’s not true?”

“How to say it? Say you impersonated Young Master Ye’s cultivation cauldron and infiltrated Tian Bei City with him?!” Yun Tianchong frowned, hesitating to speak. “If this gets out, what will happen? You’re already hard to marry off, and if this spreads, won’t it be even harder?”

?

Yun Jiujiu’s eyes widened in confusion.

“Ah?!”

Yun Tianchong seemed confused as well, holding his forehead and shaking his head.

Perhaps because so many bewildering things had happened today, he didn’t know why he said that.

But he quickly regained his composure.

In the end…

Yun Tianchong suddenly gripped Yun Jiujiu’s shoulders tightly, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, his hands gripping her back.

“—It’s good that you’re alright.”

“Ah! What are you doing!! Annoying!! Let go of me!! Damn it!! What are you being crazy about? Hey… Huh?!”

Just as Yun Jiujiu struggled to push her father’s arms away, Yun Tianchong suddenly seemed to faint, his entire body’s weight pressing down on her forehead.

“Hey!! Dad?!! Dad!!”

It was only then that Yun Jiujiu noticed the wound on her father’s waist. She spat with some helplessness and turned, carrying Yun Tianchong on her head, preparing to find a room to put him in.

But at this moment, two flying swords descended from above.

Yun Yiyi and True Person Tian Xing descended from the sky on their swords, landing steadily in front of her. They removed their bamboo hats.

Upon seeing her older sister, Yun Jiujiu’s unhappy expression intensified. She turned to leave, but seeing her like this, Yun Yiyi looked puzzled and quickly grabbed her shoulder.

“Second Sister, why aren’t you talking to me?”

“…I don’t want to talk to you!”

“?”

“I’ll take this unlucky guy to the room next door. Brother-in-law is in the sleeping quarters, and Feng Yu Die and a dark-haired Demonic cultivator are with him. If you want to find him, go yourself.”

“…”

Seeing that Yun Jiujiu seemed to be in a bad mood, Yun Yiyi felt a little strange, but decided she would talk to Yun Jiujiu privately later. She said no more for now.

“Elder Tian Xing, please accompany Jiu’er. My father was just stabbed in the waist again, likely due to Killing Aura entering his body. I’m going to see my husband.”

“…Yes.”

Elder Tian Xing nodded in response and quickly followed Yun Jiujiu.

After watching them leave, Yun Yiyi clutched her chest, gently adjusted her bangs, tidied her silk scarf, and then, holding her head high and chest puffed out, slowly walked towards the largest pavilion nearby.

Upon reaching the entrance, she saw Ye Anping meditating with his eyes closed on the bed, and Feng Yu Die and a woman she didn’t recognize attending to him on either side.

Yun Yiyi couldn’t help but take a closer look at Gu Mingxin. Although she felt the woman was dangerous, she didn’t hesitate and walked directly into the hall.

“Anping~~”

Hearing Yun Yiyi’s voice, Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes, sighed, and replied, “Yiyi, you’re here so quickly?”

“I heard that a newly appointed elder surnamed ‘Liang’ had captured Yun Jiujiu, so I guessed it was you. That’s why I’ve been waiting outside.”

“I see…”

Ye Anping lowered his gaze, a hint of a helpless smile on his face. He wasn’t surprised anymore. After a moment of silence, he said, “Feather Die, Ah Gu, you can go out for a while. Yiyi and I have something to discuss.”

Feng Yu Die slowly nodded. “Mm… Okay! Call me if you need anything! I’ll be waiting outside…”

But Gu Mingxin was clearly displeased. She squinted at Yun Yiyi, and seeing that her cultivation was not great and her aptitude seemed mediocre, she frowned.

“Who are you again…”

Ye Anping glared at her and frowned. “Ah Gu.”

Gu Mingxin pouted and stopped talking. She got up and jumped off the bed, brushing past Yun Yiyi’s shoulder. As she passed, she shot Yun Yiyi a look of mockery and Killing Intent.

This Killing Intent caused Yun Yiyi to instinctively step aside.

Gu Mingxin pursed her lips and giggled, “Hee hee~”

Then, she cheerfully hopped out of the sleeping quarters.

Ye Anping felt quite weary about this. After she and Feng Yu Die left, he finally said, “Yiyi, her temperament is just like that…”

“Mm…” Yun Yiyi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Seeing Ye Anping’s injuries, she picked up the spirit medicine Gu Mingxin had left and began to apply it to his wounds, asking, “So, Anping, you’ve been courting trouble and bringing women from the Eastern Domain?”

“…I’m the one who was courted.”

“Mhm~” Yun Yiyi scoffed, then replied gently, “Anping, thank you for saving Jiu’er’s life.”

“She’s your sister, I should naturally take care of her.”

“Then I should thank you too.”

Ye Anping lowered his gaze and nodded, feeling that he could finally enjoy a moment of peace. He let out a long breath and asked, “Tell me about the current situation of the Immortal Families in the Southern Domain, and if my Junior Sister and Yunluo have encountered any trouble?”
