Ch. 485 - Saying Goodbye To Si Xuanji

The stars and moon were bright, and the night breeze was slightly cool.

On the Observatory on the Main Peak of the Black Star Sect, Si Xuanji, wearing a black-and-white dress, sat cross-legged as she looked up, thousands of stars reflecting in her yin-and-yang eyes.

The breeze ruffled her hair, but it also made her feel a sense of "coldness".

The night stars and galaxies lasted for thousands of years, and the yin and yang cycle of the world was included in them.

Her star-gazing skill allowed her to peek at the fate of everyone in the world.

And now, she saw in the stars an unsolved catastrophe that regarded her.

The initiator of this catastrophe was Sun Juehu.

The immortal cultivators from the Northern, Western, and Southern Regions, led by the Cold Country, Black Star Sect, and Awareness Sect, were about to cross the boundaries and attack the Eastern Region from three directions respectively, intending to exterminate all the demonic cultivators who were not eradicated a thousand years ago.

The matter of attacking the Eastern Region was proposed by the Cold Country.

On the surface, the reason was that the demonic cultivators had touched the Immortal Family's red line and attacked the Bright Star Sect, causing Zu Yuan to lose his cultivation. The Immortal Family could no longer tolerate this.

However, she knew exactly what Sun Juehu was planning behind the scenes.

Sun Juehu wanted to lure her to the Eastern Region, weaken her with the demonic energy of that land, and then avenge the ancestor of the Sun Family.

In a head-on confrontation with Sun Juehu in the Eastern Region, without considering other variables, she estimated that her chance of winning was only forty percent.

There was no doubt that the Eastern Region event was a trap prepared by Sun Juehu for her.

And since she knew it was a trap, the safest way was not to go.

As long as she didn't go to the Eastern Region, Sun Juehu would have no way to deal with her.

However, if she didn't go, Sun Juehu would definitely do something to Ye Anping.

Even if she kept Ye Anping in the Western Region, Sun Juehu would still find a way to threaten him, just like she had previously appeared suddenly in the Hundred Lotus Sect to give Ye Anping a gift.

That was a show of force meant to warn her:

—"Sister Red Moon, don't think of hiding in the Western Region. I have prepared a surprise for you. Don't let me down."

Thinking of this, Si Xuanji was furious.

This was the first time she met a man she cared about in her life, but this man became a weakness for her, being targeted by her enemies.

Si Xuanji closed her eyes and calmed down, then asked, "Is Anping still accompanying the Pei girl at Heavenly Cloud Peak?"

Si Xuanji asked Qiu Shuirou this question, but the answer was a calm and soothing young man's voice. "Yunluo is accompanying my sister."

!

Hearing Ye Anping's voice, Si Xuanji froze. She turned her head and looked back, only to see that Qiu Shuirou, who was supposed to be standing not far behind her to serve, had gone to stand on the stargazing platform with her eyes downcast. Her original spot was replaced by Ye Anping, dressed in a black brocade robe.

Si Xuanji quickly retracted her gaze, pretending to be a senior who was observing the stars, and asked calmly, "Why are you here instead of accompanying the Pei girl to form her Nascent Soul?"

Ye Anping was going to leave with Feng Yu Die to the Brilliance City tomorrow, so he specially fried a plate of melon seeds and brought it over to say goodbye to her.

When Qiu Shuirou brought him here, he saw that Si Xuanji was concentrating on stargazing, so he didn't speak so as not to disturb her and remained quiet. As a result, he ended up being ignored for a while.

"Xuanji, don't you want me to come?"

"Miss Pei is forming her Nascent Soul. You should accompany her. You make me look like a cat stealing food."

Ye Anping smiled and simply said, "Then... I'm leaving."

Saying that, he turned and walked toward the entrance.

Si Xuanji puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. This kid was getting more and more unruly. He even dared to tease her!

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Anping who had turned his back to her and was walking out. She raised her voice and flew up to grab Ye Anping by the collar. "You're pushing your luck!"

In the Observatory, the parrot, who was standing on Qiu Shuirou's shoulder, immediately croaked."You owe her! You owe her!!"

Ye Anping smiled sheepishly, but in the next moment, he suddenly felt that the world in his vision had turned upside down. By the time he came back to his senses, he was already in front of the couch in the hall beside the Observatory.

Si Xuanji floated to the edge of the bed, sat down with crossed legs, and looked up at Ye Anping. "Do you really think that just because I pamper you, you can do whatever you want? Humph!"

"Just kidding. How could Red Moon, who is the greatest immortal in the universe, bother with a little Nascent Soul cultivator like me?" Ye Anping cupped his hands and smiled. "Xuanji, I came here to say goodbye to you."

"Are you leaving? Miss Pei hasn't formed her Nascent Soul yet."

"Feng Yu Die just passed her third Nascent Soul thunder tribulation yesterday, and I will take her to the Eastern Region first."

Si Xuanji crossed her legs on the other side, looking at him in silence for a while. Then, she raised her right foot, slightly opened and closed her five toes, and replied coldly, "OK..."

"Well, then please help me take care of my sister. And by the way..."

"Go ahead."

"Previously when I was in Brilliance City, I promised Xue Tianqiao something. If she helped me, I would get her another tuft of her master's tail fur. So, Xuanji, when you take Yunluo to Heavenly Gate City in the Central Region, could you..."

Si Xuanji was silent, her face showing a troubled expression. She waved her left hand. "You surely know how to order me around. That big fox cherishes his tail. He combs it for several hours every day from morning to night…"

Ye Anping immediately understood what she meant. Looking at Si Xuanji, he knelt on one knee, holding her swaying white feet in his hands.

Si Xuanji half closed her eyes, her lips pursed like a cat in anticipation. "Hmm?"

Ye Anping slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes. "I know that this matter is a trap set up by Sun Juehu for you. I also know that you have always wanted to unify the four regions, so I promise to hand over the four regions to you."

Si Xuanji nodded. "I believe you."

"Hmm..."

"But more than words, I want something that can be touched and seen..."

Before Ye Anping came here, he had anticipated that he would most likely not be able to escape, so he had taken a shower and changed his clothes.

Looking up, he saw that Si Xuanji had already raised her hand, sliding it down her shoulders. He gently placed his lips on her foot.

Chirp...

Then, he took advantage of the situation and stepped forward. The boy in the Nascent Soul stage, embraced the Void Returning lady in front of him and touched her forehead with his.

"Anping..."

"Yes, Xuanji."

"Don't let me watch the stars alone for the next few thousand years, okay?"

"Okay."

Their lips met, and their long black-and-white hair gradually loosened out and spread on their backs. Then, a wisp of spring breeze blew from the bed in the room, filling that little heart that had finally found a home after being lonely for nearly ten thousand years...

The soft whispers spread outside the room and dispersed into the starry sky.

Unknowingly, the morning bell rang from the top of the Main Peak below, announcing the dawn in the Black Star Sect.

The morning light rose from the horizon, pouring in through the open windows of the Observatory and shining on the two people lying on the couch, hugging each other.

Si Xuanji lay on Ye Anping's chest as she looked at the morning light outside the window, feeling a little resentful that time passed so quickly. However, the uneasiness she had felt when stargazing before had been calmed down by Ye Anping.

"Huh... Are you leaving?"

"Yes."

Ye Anping took out a cloak from his storage bag and wrapped it around her. He moved his legs to the edge of the bed, picked up his clothes, and stood up.

Si Xuanji sat on the bed, her little hands wrapped in the cloak he gave her, and her yin-and-yang eyes revealed endless tenderness. She crawled forward and picked up the comb, helping Ye Anping tidy up his hair that she had messed up last night.

"Anping, be careful."

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing."

After Si Xuanji helped him fix his hair, Ye Anping put on his clothes and stood up, cupping his hands. "I'm leaving now. My sister is in your care."

"Don't worry."

Si Xuanji nodded slightly, wrapped her cloak tightly around herself, and watched Ye Anping walk out of the gate of the Observatory. He looked back and smiled at her before flying away on his sword.

Sun Juehu had been trying to settle the matter with her for thousands of years. She didn't want to pay attention to her before, but now this grudge should be settled.

Si Xuanji pondered about the matter between Sun Juehu and the Eastern Region demonic cultivators.

Not long after, a rush of footsteps was heard.

Coming from the direction of the Heavenly Cloud Peak, Xiao Yunluo landed her sword, and her dragon horns peeked from the door. When she saw her master sitting on the couch without clothes and wearing a cloak, her expression froze.

"..."

Si Xuanji raised her head slightly and looked toward her. "Yunluo."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo shrank her neck in fear and hurriedly walked in with her head down. Swallowing her saliva, she said, "Ah? Ma... Master..."

"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Yunluo had been accompanying Pei Lianxue on the Sword Wind Platform on Heavenly Cloud Peak, waiting for the tribulation cloud to arrive. In the end, the tribulation cloud did not arrive but Qiu Shuirou did, bringing some pastries over.

Although Qiu Shuirou kept saying, "I just came to see you and bring you two some cakes and tea." … 

After all, she had the previous experience. 

Xiao Yunluo understood. Aunt Qiu came to keep an eye on her, which meant her master was probably stealing her husband again. 

So she found an opportunity to sneak over. 

Not that she wanted to join in.

She really just wanted to see with her own eyes how her master moaned when her husband taught her a lesson!

However, Xiao Yunluo didn't dare to say this out loud; otherwise, she would probably be spanked by her master. She pursed her lips shyly and whispered, "Master... I... I was just passing by."

Si Xuanji pursed her lips mischievously, seeing through her thoughts at a glance. She propped up her cheeks. "Unfortunately, it's too late."

"Ah... what... what's late..."

Si Xuanji shook her head slightly, then stood up wrapped in the cloak, and jumped off the bed. "Since you are here, help me comb my hair and change clothes."

"Oh... okay."

Xiao Yunluo nodded weakly and looked at the black and white clothes scattered on the bed before squatting down to pick them up. Then, she carried her master, who was wrapped in the cloak, to the dressing table in the corner of the room and used a jade comb to tidy up her hair...

… … 

The cool breeze made the peach color on Ye Anping's face fade away.

After coming out of the Observatory Hall, Ye Anping flew back to the house on Heavenly Cloud Peak where he and Xiao Yunluo lived. He took off the left hand that was hanging on the window sill as a sunny doll and hung it on his waist. He went back to the house and packed his luggage while thinking about the next plan in his mind.

The first thing he had to do when he went to the Eastern Region this time was to break through the defense line of the demonic cultivators stationed at the boundary from the inside, and cooperate with the Southern Region immortal sects, Black Star Sect, and even the Cold Country, to help the immortals enter the Eastern Region as easily as possible.

Although Sun Juehu wanted to lure Si Xuanji to the Eastern Region and then take revenge on her, she was not a fool. If the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect was alive, a battle between her and Si Xuanji in the Eastern Region would only benefit the enemy.

In other words, before Yu Yan fell, Sun Juehu would not show her claws but would stand on the same side with Si Xuanji to jointly deal with the six demonic cultivator sects led by the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Spirit Ghost Sect.

Ye Anping counted the magic tools and pills that he had bought from the black market, and then he took Gu Mingxin's hand and wrote on her palm with his index finger again:

—See you in Brilliance City in twenty days.

Gu Mingxin seemed to be looking forward to meeting him. She grabbed his fingers and rubbed them as if to say "See you later".

Then, Ye Anping tied the hand back to his waist and opened the gate of the courtyard, preparing to find Feng Yu Die next door.

However, as soon as he walked out, he found Feng Yu Die waiting at the gate. "Young Master Ye~~"

She was wearing a snow-white long dress, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she had a sweet smile on her face. The most obvious thing was her bulging neckline that was being pushed up.

?

Ye Anping stared at her chest speechlessly.

"..."

Seeing him coming out of the yard, Feng Yu Die hurried over with her hands behind her back and looked up at him with a smile, while deliberately pushing her chest forward. "Young Master Ye, are we leaving?"

Ye Anping stared at her chest and nodded slightly. "...Yeah."

"...Can you accompany me to a place first?"

"Where to?"

"To see my master before leaving… Hehe—"

"Jade Void Mountain?"

"No, it's here, in Black Star Sect." Feng Yu Die grinned. "When I came back from the Eastern Wall, the Justice Division wanted to bury their disciples, so I went to the Jade Void Mountain to dig up my master's grave and moved it to Black Star Sect. Hehe…"

?

"So, you spent the budget of the Justice Division to move your master's tomb?"

"I save as much as I can."

Giggling, Feng Yu Die stepped forward and hugged Ye Anping's right arm, clamping it tightly against her chest. "Let's go... it won't take long. I'll light a stick of incense and we'll go."

"..."

Ye Anping knew that she was padded, but it didn't feel like a sandbag, so he thought it was probably made by some kind of magic item. He immediately pulled his hand out of her arms with a speechless look on his face. "Well, okay."

Seeing his reaction, Feng Yu Die was a little disappointed. She had bought these breasts at the market the day before yesterday and had spent several thousand spirit stones. The female shop owner had said that they were genuine.

"Young Master Ye..."

"Put those boobs away. It's an eyesore."

"Oh... okay... hehe..."
