Above the snowy forest on the lonely mountain, the sound of a flying sword pierced the air and stirred up gusts of wind, scattering the snow as it flew at low altitude over the treetops.
Ye Anping was concentrating on directing his sword, while Feng Yu Die, lying on his back, took the opportunity to concentrate on regulating her breath and using her energy to repair the affected meridians faster.
Hidden inside Feng Yu Die's cloak was Xiao Tian, wiping tears of joy from her face.
---Finally, her dear Yu Die was together with Young Master Ye.
When Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die were talking just now, she was floating above their heads the entire time.
The fact that Ye Anping unconsciously hugged Feng Yu Die from behind to fasten her cloak or that he carried her on his back, controlling the sword while allowing her to heal her injuries...
She saw everything and engraved it in her mind.
As the saying goes, those involved don't see the big picture, but onlookers see clearly.
There was a time when, not to mention being carried by a man, even getting close to a man was something that Yu Die wouldn't do. But now she obediently and quietly lay on that Ye kid's back.
As for that kid, although he kept pretending not to see her and always had a sour and cold face toward Yu Die, he immediately came forward to help her and take care of her when she was injured or in danger.
If that wasn't a perfect match, then what was it?
A few days ago, when she was chatting with the Old Golden Dragon, they also reached the topic of Ye Anping and Yu Die's relationship.
Now, she was different from the Old Dragon.
She was born with Feng Yu Die, so she was the same age. Just because she had inherited the previous spirit of the Heavenly Dao Scroll, she was slightly more mature than Feng Yu Die.
As for the dragon, it was an immortal being that had followed the descendants of countless Holy Emperors and had witnessed almost all of the great events recorded in the Heavenly Dao Scrolls.
Its few words sobered up Xiao Tian:
...
---"Little one, you can't rush this matter."
"What do you mean?"
"The path of Immortality requires understanding the principles, and love requires understanding the emotions." The dragon shook its head and said, "Yu Die is currently at the most rebellious age, sixteen or seventeen years old. The more you push her, the more she will reject it. The more you urge her, the less likely she will do it."
"So what should I do?"
"Just pretend that nothing happens. You said this kid can see you, then it must be destiny. After going through twists and turns and dangers, he and Yu Die will definitely become a couple in the end. In my opinion, Yu Die doesn't understand love yet. Understanding emotions is like enlightenment; it requires the right timing, conditions, and people. Just be patient..." --
...
Naturally, Xiao Tian could understand what the Old Dragon said. Since it's fate, we should let fate decide.
The Old Dragon wanted her to learn to delay gratification.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the mindset of an old dragon who had lived for thousands of years.
She couldn't control her anxiety.
She wanted now, immediately, right away, for the two to be together!!
She wanted to see Yu Die's cute and shy appearance, to see her blush and rely on Ye kid's caring behavior, to see the two of them kissing and hugging each other affectionately!
Fantasizing about these scenes, Xiao Tian couldn't help but poke her head out of Feng Yu Die's collar with a "chirping" sound, "Yu Die, quickly give him a kiss!!"
?
?
Both Ye Anping, who was seriously focused on flying his sword, and Feng Yu Die, who was lying on his back with her eyes closed, concentrating, instantly had a question mark popping above their heads when they heard this.
---Is she nuts?!
Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes, but after a pause, she suddenly realized that holding Ye Anping's neck was not a good idea.
Although she couldn't tell what was wrong, she just felt it wasn't right.
So, she thought for a while and said, "Young Master Ye, I have almost recovered from my injury. I can fly by myself."
Ye Anping agreed without hesitation and let go of her thighs. "Hmm."
Stepping lightly on the hilt of his sword, Feng Yu Die summoned her own flying sword and jumped on it. She spread her arms to find her balance, then stabilized her body and followed Ye Anping, accelerating toward the Jade Snow Peak.
"Ah?"
Seeing this, Xiao Tian felt aggrieved and wanted to slap herself. "Oh, no, stupid Xiao Tian! Why did you come out? If you hadn't come out, Yu Die would probably still be on Ye kid's back. Woo---stinky Yu Die!"
Xiao Tian pouted and sniffed, then cursed before diving into Feng Yu Die's mind to find the old dragon and cry on its shoulder.
Feng Yu Die ignored her and turned her head to look at Ye Anping, who was staring ahead. "Young Master Ye?"
"Yeah."
"That beautiful girl just now, why did you give her a choice? I thought you would just cut her down without saying a word."
Ye Anping glanced sideways, replying, "If you hadn't interfered, she would have joined the five people in front of the pavilion."
Feng Yu Die smiled. "The thing is... I don't think she's a bad person. She seems like someone who was tricked into joining the gang."
"How do you know she's not bad?"
"My intuition told me!" Feng Yu Die blinked. "I'm particularly good at judging people. Whether they're good or bad, I can tell at a glance."
Ye Anping glanced at her as if to tell her that people should not be judged by their appearance, but after thinking about it, Feng Yu Die did seem to have a magical power similar to 'eagle eyes' when it came to reading people.
Anyway, her intuition in the game plot was quite sharp, and she could often detect in all kinds of strange situations that something was not right. Such was the case in the Sword Pavilion investigation when she noticed that each of the twenty-seven people had an organ removed.
A normal person wouldn't think to check the organ count first, right?
Ye Anping replied coldly, "I gave her a chance to choose because I saw that she wrapped Yun Yiyi in a quilt when she got her out, and also, she didn't try to stop me when I killed that late-stage Foundation Building cultivator. Whether I kill her or not doesn't make much difference; it's just a matter of one more sword strike or one less."
Feng Yu Die suddenly covered her mouth and snickered. "Hehehe..."
"What are you laughing at?"
"Having said all that, didn't you show her mercy just because she was a girl?"
"No."
"Oh, it's okay~ I understand, I understand." Feng Yu Die seemed to ask for a spanking as she waved her hands. "Young Master Ye also has times when he is soft-hearted~ Hehe, I have caught Young Master Ye's weakness."
?
"..."
Although Ye Anping didn't care about what others thought of him, he felt extremely annoyed when he heard such a disrespectful tone. "Weakness?"
Feng Yu Die smirked mischievously and winked. "Well?"
As she provocatively turned her head, Ye Anping reached out and grabbed her cheek, forcefully twisting it 180 degrees.
"Ouch-ouch-ouch, it hurts, it hurts~~"
"Weakness, you said?"
"Young Master Ye, you're too angry! That means... Ouch-ouch-ouch~"
"..."
Ye Anping turned his hand another thirty degrees.
Feng Yu Die felt like her mouth was going to be ripped apart by him and quickly shouted, "I was wrong!! I admit defeat!!~"
Ye Anping glanced at her and let her go.
After her cheek was freed, Feng Yu Die rubbed her red face with resentment. She grimaced at him. "It hurts~"
"Stop playing around. Keep your mouth shut and pull your hood lower, especially your hair; hide it well."
"Oh~ okay."
Feng Yu Die quickly became serious but in exchange, she only got Ye Anping's suspicious glare. She flinched and immediately made an X on her mouth, lowering her head to indicate that she wouldn't speak anymore.
Feeling tired, Ye Anping sighed. "Sigh--- let's go down."
