Ch. 184 - The Protagonist Was Born From A Mother

The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Pei Lianxue looked at her torn sleeve with pursed lips, then put the sword back into the storage bag before walking over to Yun Xi and Zhang Yihe.

Zhang Yihe stared blankly at the dismembered snow bull, and he couldn't tell which was scarier, the beast or the harmless-looking girl in front of him.

Yun Xi's whispers behind him pulled him out of his daze. "The Leaf Shadow Sword technique... at the fifth level."

"Ah? Young Lady... what?"

Pei Lianxue walked over to Yun Xi, crouched next to her, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Yun Xi paused and shook her head, ignoring the severe pain in her body. She grabbed her shoulder and asked, "Do you have a father?"

After a moment of silence, Pei Lianxue nodded blankly. "Yes."

"No... I mean..." Yun Xi was a little incoherent. After organizing her thoughts, she asked again, "Have you ever met your father? Is your mother a very beautiful Immortal cultivator?"

Pei Lianxue frowned slightly as if she was unhappy. But thinking that her brother had instructed her to tell the truth as much as possible because she couldn't lie, she replied, "I have seen them. My parents are both ordinary people. My mother is beautiful but not an Immortal."

"Ordinary people..."

Yun Xi looked into Pei Lianxue's eyes and felt that she was telling the truth.

However...

Whether it was the last time in the Dragon House or right now, when Pei Lianxue killed the snow ox, she used the traditional Leaf Shadow Sword technique and even used it at the fifth level.

The Leaf Shadow Sword technique was passed down secretly. Even in her case, it wasn't until she was recognized as a "Young Lady" that her stinky old man passed it on to her. It was impossible for an outsider to learn it.

Rather than Pei Lianxue's story of "coming from a common family", she believed more in another scenario: --Her stinky old man got some girl pregnant, but the girl couldn't find him after that, so she had to send the child to an ordinary couple's home. Then, as the child grew up, her old man disguised himself as a mountain hermit, pretended to run into the child, and passed on the sword skill to her...

But this was just an idea. Could be other things that she hadn't thought of.

Yun Xi shook her head, looked around, and asked again, "Where's the one who was with you last time? The one with purple eyes..."

"He's not with me."

"Then, why are you here?"

"Well..." Pei Lianxue thought for a moment and replied, "My brother was asked by the eldest lady of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect to come here and marry her, so I came after him."

Yun Xi was startled to hear this.

Marry? Yun Yiyi?

This girl was most likely her father's illegitimate daughter, therefore, her brother was also her father's illegitimate son.

So, if that young man married Yun Yiyi, it would be an illegitimate son who married his father's biological daughter.

On the other hand, this girl followed the boy because he went to get married, which meant she also liked him. That is, the illegitimate daughter liked the illegitimate son.

Yun Xi's lips trembled, and her heart suddenly had mixed feelings. If what she thought was right, then this matter would be unprecedented.

"..."

At this time, the pain from her injuries was finally transmitted to the brain along the nerves. Coupled with the emotional shock after thinking about all this, her eyes suddenly rolled up, her head tilted, and she directly fell on the snow.

Pei Lianxue paused, then picked up the fainted Yun Xi and turned to look at Zhang Yihe, who was frozen in place, and asked: "Which way to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect?"

"Ah..." Zhang Yihe looked at Yun Xi and then looked at the sky. He stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Miss, thank you for your help earlier. May I ask what your name is?"

"Pei Lianxue."

"Then, Miss Pei, can I trouble you to escort us? I'll go and set up the tent so that Young Miss can rest inside, and we can continue after her injuries have healed a bit, what do you say?"

"Fine."

Pei Lianxue nodded, then turned her head to look at the woods in the east. Although she couldn't see her brother, who was hidden, she still nodded to indicate her success.

...

Deep in the forest to the east, Ye Anping stood on the branch of a tree and watched his sister nodding to him. Then, he took out a whistle from his storage bag, put it between his lips, and blew several times rhythmically: Chi Chi---Chi Chi Chi---Chi Chi---Chi Chi---

In translation, 'Sister, be more careful. See you in seven days.'

Then, he jumped down from the tree and came to Feng Yu Die, who was waiting below.

Feng Yu Die was holding her sword, leaning against the tree trunk, lost in thought. When she saw him coming down, she asked, "Young Master Ye, why didn't you dodge when Sister Pei kissed you? What if a stork happened to fly over and brought you a child?"

Hearing this question, Ye Anping was speechless for a long time, then suddenly remembered that he had discussed this matter with Feng Yu Die when he first rescued her and brought her to the Hundred Lotus Sect.

At that time, Feng Yu Die said that as a child, she was brought by a stork.

And because he didn't know how to answer, he said, "Little sister came from a ginseng fruit."

After a moment of silence, Ye Anping continued, "Didn't I tell you before that my sister came from a ginseng fruit? You forgot."

"Yeah, I remember."

"Then, why do you think that when two people kiss, a stork will bring a child?"

Feng Yu Die frowned and asked in return, "Could it be that the stork sees two people kissing, goes to the ginseng tree, and brings back a child made from ginseng fruit to give to those two people?"

"...Is this what your master taught you?"

"Yes." Feng Yu Die nodded vigorously. "Otherwise, why would my master lie to me?"

"..."

Ye Anping paused, and after a long silence, he replied: "...My father bought a crane a few months ago and keeps it in the Hundred Lotus Sect. Go find a cultivator couple and let them kiss in front of the crane, then see if it will bring a child.

Feng Yu Die tilted her head and asked, "So, you mean kissing won't result in having children?"

"...That's right."

"Then, where do the children come from?"

"The mother gives birth to them."

"And what if there are two mothers?"

"Two mothers can't give birth."

"Then, why did you say mother gives birth?"

"I..."

Ye Anping took a deep breath through his nose and wanted to slap himself in the face. What made him pick up this topic with Feng Yu Die?

He calmed down, simply ignored her question, and looked up at the sky. "We have to reach Wine Spring Town next to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect before nightfall. After that, I will take you to Yun Jiujiu's place."

"Oh, okay!" Feng Yu Die nodded, but then asked again, "Are you really not going to have children if you kiss?"

Ye Anping summoned his flying sword and stepped on it. "No."

Feng Yu Die stepped on her flying sword as well. "Then, if Sister Pei kisses me in the future, I won't dodge either!"

Ye Anping turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Did my sister want to kiss you?"

"Not yet, but maybe in the future."

Ye Anping's face suddenly twitched when he looked at her. He had lived in this world for so many years, and Feng Yu Die was the only one who could make his emotions a roller coaster with just a few sentences.
