The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

The silvery moonlight shone on Xiao Yunluo's delicate but somewhat haggard face.

Although she tried her best to hide her reluctance, she couldn't escape Ye Anping's eyes.

She must have cried quite sadly just now.

But Ye Anping understood that it was normal for a teenage girl to cry when she was heartbroken in love.

After a while, it will naturally pass.

So, he ignored that fact and instead used his spiritual sense to check his meridians.

Although the spiritual energy in his meridians was almost overflowing now, his cultivation level had not increased much. At best, he was about to reach the middle stage of the Foundation Building.

This was slightly below his expectations.

After all, only Wu Yu's previous settlement had allowed him to advance to a higher cultivation level.

As for this settlement, even putting Li Feng aside, there were three more demonic cultivators in the Core Formation stage, which should at least bring him to the middle or even late stage of the Foundation Building.

However, he understood the reason after checking deeper with his spiritual sense.

The 'golden finger' settlement was indeed enough for him to directly improve his cultivation level to the middle stage of the Foundation Building.

However, most of the spiritual energy seemed to wander through his body as if it had nowhere to settle.

That being the case, if he understood correctly, he should have encountered a bottleneck.

He originally thought that his 'golden finger' would allow him to forcibly cross the bottleneck and increase his cultivation level straight away. It seemed though that this 'golden finger' was not as heaven-defying as he thought.

He still couldn't avoid the bottleneck that a dual spiritual root cultivator should encounter.

However, on second thought, this could also be a good thing.

His practice progress was still stuck at the Qi Refining Perfection level.

If his cultivation level rose too fast and his skills could not keep up, then he'd be nothing more than a punching bag.

It was just as well that the Dragon House matters had settled, so he could just take his time to fix his cultivation issues and improve his training methods.

Ye Anping opened his eyes, exhaled heavily, then looked at Xiao Yunluo. "Sister Xiao, please help Miss Li handle the internal affairs of the Dragon House in the next few days. She is blind and needs some time to adapt."

Xiao Yunluo glared at him, crossed her arms, and turned her head. "Hmph! I don't need you to tell me this. I would have helped her even if you didn't say anything."

"Oh."

Ye Anping resigned himself that this girl would probably give him the cold shoulder for a long time, but he said nothing and turned to look at Pei Lianxue.

"Sister, are you rested? If you're rested, we'll go back with Brother Liang."

"Uh-huh..."

Go back and kiss... Pei Lianxue nodded like pounding garlic, full of expectation.

However, just as Ye Anping took his hand off Pei Lianxue's shoulder and stepped forward, he suddenly felt his legs go limp, lost his balance, and fell forward.

Startled, Pei Lianxue quickly grabbed Ye Anping's right hand, preventing him from falling directly.

Xiao Yunluo, who was still angry, also looked horrified when she saw this. Unconsciously, she stepped forward, leaned toward him, and placed his left hand on her shoulder to support him.

Worried, she started to ask something but found that Ye Anping seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Ye Anping, why did you...ah, did he just fall asleep?"

At this point, Xiao Yunluo suddenly realized that Pei Lianxue was still there.

If she got so close to Ye Anping, wouldn't it make Lianxue angry?

Xiao Yunluo gulped and weakly turned her head to look at Pei Lianxue. Seeing Pei Lianxue looking at her with an expressionless face, she hurriedly found an excuse. "Lianxue, you are still injured, right? I... I'll help you bring him in. If you don't want to, forget it."

Pei Lianxue hesitated, but eventually pursed her lips and nodded.

Although she really wanted to carry Ye Anping alone, she didn't have much strength and couldn't hold him up right now.

And most importantly, Yunluo was someone 'safe'.

She had promised her that she would never fall for Ye Anping.

"Well, okay. Thanks, Yunluo."

Not expecting Lianxue to agree, Xiao Yunluo's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly replied, "Ah, no... it's okay. He's also my study companion, after all! It's only right to take care of him... hmm."

Saying this, she immediately stepped toward Ye Anping, letting him rest half of his body on her shoulders, and together with Pei Lianxue, she supported him as they walked step by step into the back room.

However, neither Xiao Yunluo nor Pei Lianxue could see that there was a pair of small eyes watching from the beginning.

Xiao Tian was now hanging from the wall, with the upper half of her body outside and the lower half inside the wall.

From when Ye Anping started kissing Pei Lianxue to Xiao Yunluo's sneaky smile from now, she had seen it all.

After looking at the two girls supporting Ye Anping and preparing to enter the room, she put her head back into the wall and stuck it out the other side, glancing at Feng Yu Die.

Seeing that she was completely unaware of what was going on outside, she rushed straight back in a fit of anger, grabbed her messy hair, and kicked her head.

That Ye kid was going to be snatched away by other girls while this idiot was still sitting here without a care!

"Yu Die, you good-for-nothing!"

?

Slowly opening her eyes, Feng Yu Die had no idea why Xiao Tian suddenly scolded her again. "What did I do? Why are you scolding me again?"

"Your cultivation partner is going to be stolen by those girls, Xiao and Pei!"

?

"What?"

Feng Yu Die was confused.

At this time, the trio came in, and upon seeing them, she immediately stood up and limped over.

"Sister Pei, what's wrong with him?"

"He fell asleep."

Feng Yu Die looked at Ye Anping, who was sleeping on their shoulders and suggested, "Then, let Sister Xiao take Young Master Ye to a room to lie down, and you, Sister Pei, meditate for a while. I will transmit some true energy to you. My true energy is particularly good for injuries."

?!

Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo was slightly startled. This second idiot actually came up with such a wonderful proposal.

She nodded hurriedly and answered. "Yes, Lianxue, Ye Anping is very tired. Why don't you stay here tonight to meditate and tend your wounds, and I will carry Ye Anping on my back to find a place to rest first... You need to rest as well."

Pei Lianxue shook her head. "No, my husband said to go back now."

With that, she turned to look at Liang Zhu, who was sitting on the ground meditating, and softly called out his name. "Brother Liang."

"..."

Liang Zhu opened his eyes, glanced at Ye Anping and the three girls beside him, and suddenly saw Xiao Yunluo staring at him with a dark face.

He understood.

Miss Xiao wanted the Sixth Brother to stay here to rest, while his younger sister wanted to take him back to the Jiang Mansion. As for the white-haired one, she was staring at the younger sister for some reason...

In other words, Miss Xiao wanted him to help persuade the younger sister to let Ye Anping rest in the Dragon Mansion.

"..."

--You girls are jealous of each other, what does this have to do with me?

Liang Zhu was a little depressed.

If he said he would take Sixth Brother to Jiang Mansion, Miss Xiao would be displeased with him.

If he said that he would let him stay in the Dragon Mansion, the sister would be unhappy with him.

After a moment of silence, Liang Zhu asked in a low voice, "Have you decided? Will you let him stay here or bring him back?"

Pei Lianxue was motivated to go back for a kiss, so she frowned and replied, "We're going back!"

Xiao Yunluo argued. "Sister Pei, it's a long way from here. Isn't Dragon Mansion pretty good?"

"We'll go back!" Pei Lianxue raised her eyebrows and turned to look at her. "Husband said to go back."

"..."

Liang Zhu watched Xiao Yunluo being dominated by Pei Lianxue and sighed. He stood up and walked over, taking Ye Anping from the two girls and lifting him on his back. Then, he looked at Pei Lianxue. "Can you drive the flying sword?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Good. Miss Xiao and Miss Feng, farewell."

Liang Zhu nodded to them, then brought Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue out of the back room, summoned the flying sword, and they left together for the Jiang Mansion.

After they left, Xiao Yunluo sighed and glanced at Feng Yu Die.

"Second idiot, how is your injury?"

"Hehe, I'm very tough," Feng Yu Die blinked and said with a smile. "Look, the injury on my shoulder has already scabbed over. If I apply some medicine later, it will probably be healed as soon as I wake up.

Xiao Yunluo glanced at the swollen lump on Feng Yu Die's shoulder and poked it.

Feng Yu Die jumped back in pain and covered her shoulder. "Hiss---Sister Xiao, what are you doing~~?"

"Your wound healed so quickly, I was curious." Xiao Yunluo waved her hands. "Forget it, let's go back and rest. Tomorrow, I have to help Sister Li manage the Dragon House."

"Oh~~ Okay!"
