The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Junior Sister, Did You Steal Senior Brother’s Purity?

Outside the window, the silver moon rose slowly above the bustling marketplace, and the Heavenly Street was lively as usual.

Pei Lianxue held onto her Senior Brother and had been doing so from sunset until now, finally managing to remove the ‘stagnant energy’ from his meridians that she didn’t know about. After checking twice and confirming her Senior Brother’s condition was stable, she gradually released him and laid him flat on the bed.

“Phew—finally done…”

Pei Lianxue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then reached down to adjust Senior Brother’s pants, leaning over to peek at his chest.

“The swelling here has gone down too… Hmm.”

After nearly three consecutive hours of focusing on delivering spiritual energy to Ye Anping, Pei Lianxue now felt completely exhausted and was tempted to lie down and close her eyes for a nap right here.

A nap… Sleeping… Sleeping together with Senior Brother…

!!

A flood of thoughts hit Pei Lianxue like a startled little rabbit, causing her to jump on the bed, her cheeks instantly turning crimson.

In her eagerness to save her Senior Brother, she hadn’t realized that she had been holding him for three hours. Moreover, it appeared that he had simply fallen asleep…

Glancing at Ye Anping’s tightly closed eyes, she bit her lips nervously, her small hands rubbing back and forth.

When they were about three or four years old, they had bathed and slept together, but that had stopped after she turned six. An elder from the Hundred Lotus Sect had told her about gender distinction, emphasizing that after six years old, they should sleep in separate rooms. It was then that she developed a sense of modesty and learned that men and women shouldn’t just be together without clothes.

It was only after death that she learned that only cultivation partners could sleep on the same bed together—a process referred to as the wedding chamber.

Besides that, she also recalled that the elder had mentioned how the first experience of such a chamber was extremely precious for women, advising them to choose their partners carefully and not to hastily agree to any proposals based solely on a man’s good looks.

“The wedding chamber…”

Pei Lianxue gazed at her Senior Brother’s sleeping face, a strange fluttering feeling filling her chest, as if a warm current was stuck in her lungs—congested yet incredibly comforting.

“Hmm… Senior Brother?”

Pei Lianxue leaned down to whisper in his ear, waiting for a moment. Seeing he showed no response, she gently pushed him a bit further in, lay down next to him, resting her shoulder against his and holding his hand tightly.

“If that’s the case… then I’ve already shared a wedding chamber with Senior Brother, right? Hehe…”

Pei Lianxue giggled softly, intending to leave this way, but glanced again at Ye Anping’s calm sleeping face and suddenly felt reluctant to go.

Battling her guilt, she gently bit her lip.

“Since Senior Brother is sleeping so soundly, a little longer in the wedding chamber… Hmm… I can leave before he wakes up…”

“Just before he wakes up…”

With that thought, she turned the sleeping Ye Anping to face her, carefully snuggled into his embrace, placing her small hands on his chest and nudging her nose against his collarbone, peering up at his face.

At that moment, she suddenly realized…

“Did I just take away Senior Brother’s purity? Has he been defiled by me…? He will surely be angry when he wakes up.”

It was as if her inner voice urged her: “Hurry up and leave. If you don’t, Senior Brother will definitely be furious when he wakes up and sees you like this!” Pei Lianxue felt a little scared and wanted to leave.

But she also felt as if Ye Anping was a magnet, continuously drawing her closer.

After hesitating for a while, she took a deep breath and made up her mind:

“Just a little longer… just a bit… I’ll count to fifty and then go…”

One…

Two…

Three…

…

Forty-nine…

Fifty.

“Just a bit longer… count to fifty again… no, forty sounds, just forty then I’ll go…”

One…

Two…

Three…

…

Thirty-nine…

Forty…

“Then I’ll count to thirty last…” Pei Lianxue squinted her eyes and snuggled into Ye Anping’s embrace, “Last thirty… Hmm…”

One…

Two…

Three…

Four…

Five…

“Five… Wuw…”

“Phew—Phew—”

“Zzz…”

————————————-

Ye Anping had a dream.

In the dream, he felt as if he had been thrown into the volcano at the sixteenth level of the eighteen levels of hell, his whole body enveloped in lava.

The unbearable burning sensation compelled him to open his mouth to scream, but doing so caused lava to pour into his mouth, scorching his tongue, throat, and even his organs.

Just as he could no longer bear it and was urging the lava to put him out of his misery, suddenly, the pitch-black void of his vision was pierced by a stream of azure blue water.

A clear, cold stream flowed toward him from the distance.

The intense pain began to slowly fade.

Moreover, after coming into contact with that stream of water, his once-charred skin and organs miraculously started to revive.

And so, he fell asleep again in his dream.

……

Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes, recalling the dream that had just passed, and frowned involuntarily.

The pain he had felt in the dream was etched deeply into his memory; he felt he would remember it clearly even decades later.

It took him a while to realize that a fragrant, soft girl was in his embrace, and he nodded toward the lovely creature in his arms.

Seeing it was his Junior Sister brought a rare sense of reassurance to Ye Anping. He quickly released his spiritual sense to check his own meridians and noticed that the excess yang energy that had previously blocked them was gone. This helped him understand what had happened.

It seemed that his Junior Sister had arrived just in time, sensed his excessive yang energy, and then used her extremely yin spiritual energy to help him neutralize and suppress it.

Looking at his Junior Sister, now peacefully sleeping in his arms, Ye Anping couldn’t help but smile affectionately.

“She’s grown into a big girl now… in just over two months, she’ll come of age.”

He gently poked Pei Lianxue’s cheek, but she merely murmured a few times and snuggled closer into his arms.

“Hmm… Senior Brother, don’t tease…”

“…”

Feeling a bit helpless, Ye Anping didn’t plan to wake her up. He rested his chin on the top of her head, shifted to a more comfortable position, and pulled Pei Lianxue closer into his embrace.

At the same time, he began contemplating a question that he hadn’t had the chance to think through earlier.

Why had he suddenly increased from the fifth level to full mastery of the Qi Refining Stage?

It was clear that this was not due to favorable circumstances.

In this world, it was impossible for anyone to achieve such a feat.

This was essentially no different from “defying the heavens.”

In his previous world, it would have been comparable to ignoring the laws of physics.

And the only thing that could cause such an event was…

—Feng Lingyue Ying.

He didn’t know the reason, but suddenly, he had hit F1, and with a ding sound, he had activated a cheat.

After returning from the back mountain of the Xuan Xing Sect, he had also jumped from the third level of the Qi Refining Stage to the fifth.

From this, Ye Anping couldn’t help but form a hypothesis in his mind.

In the game world, players typically had four ways to gain cultivation: defeating monsters, AFK meditation, consuming experience potions, and completing quests.

He had no way to test whether defeating monsters in this world would yield experience.

In the game, defeating a monster would yield only a tiny bit of experience, and it would take at least over a thousand monsters of the same level to level up.

However, in this world, killing monsters was frowned upon as destroying the natural environment.

As for AFK meditation, that should work, but it would definitely not allow him to jump five levels to full mastery of the Qi Refining Stage.

As for consuming experience potions, in the game, such potions were usually sold in the RMB shop later on and were called “Nine-turn Five Elements Spirit Refining Golden Body Immortal Pill,” which could allow players to ascend directly from the Qi Refining Stage to the Returning Void Stage.

He had investigated before, but even among legends, there was no indication that such things existed here.

Thus, the only possibility left was quest rewards.

The last time was the day after he returned from the back mountain of the Xuan Xing Sect…

This time happened shortly after Feng Yu Die returned…

“Thinking about it this way, it really could be that.”

Ye Anping had been pondering this issue.

Because of his dual spiritual roots, the gap between him and his Junior Sister would likely only widen in the future. He was worried that in ten or twenty years, when his Junior Sister was already at the Nascent Soul Stage, he would still be in the mid to late stages of Foundation Establishment and thus began searching for rapid cultivation methods.

In that case, he wouldn’t be able to continue to protect her.

Rather, he’d probably become a burden.

However, if his hypothesis was correct, and completing quests could indeed grant cultivation, then he might still be able to protect his dear Junior Sister along the way.

After thinking this through, Ye Anping started to feel a bit tired.

“Forget it… I’ll take care of it tomorrow morning.”

With that, he gently nodded and kisse Pei Lianxue on the forehead.

“Good night, Junior Sister.”

Then, like in their early childhood, the two siblings embraced and fell into a deep sleep.
