The next morning.
A touch of sunshine swept through the clear fog, illuminating the Black Star town market.
As usual, Ye Anping opened the door of the physiotherapy center early in the morning, and when the morning classes were over, Bai Yuexin came to help with the bookkeeping. With her came over thirty disciples of the Black Star Sect, all of whom had come to help his business.
So, all morning, Ye Anping was so busy that he didn't even get to sit down for a bit, just like yesterday. By noon, he was already tired to the point of exhaustion. But since he agreed to teach physiotherapy to Bai Yuexin, he went to the eastern market to buy two live chickens for her to practice.
Just as he expected, Bai Yuexin couldn't control the spiritual energy as finely as he did, so she just poked, and the two chickens exploded.
Since they literally exploded, they couldn't even be made into roasted chicken.
Now the walls and the ground in the backyard of the physiotherapy center were littered with chicken blood and feathers everywhere.
Ye Anping had dodged in time and was not affected, but Bai Yuexin had become a bloodied mess now. So, she had to borrow his bedroom, boil a basin of hot water, and take a bath.
Meanwhile, Ye Anping cleaned up the mess in the backyard and was ready to take a nap in the recliner and think about how he was going to talk to his little sister about the 'excess yang' so that it wouldn't sound awkward.
The parrot went back with Si Xuanji, so there should be no one to disturb him today...
"Young Master Ye! We are back!!"
"..."
Ye Anping had just laid down not long ago when a voice came to his ears.
He almost got up subconsciously, but immediately reacted and pretended not to hear, continuing to sleep.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Tian's voice suddenly became aggrieved.
"Young Master Ye~ Even if you can see me, I won't do anything to you. Why are you so stubborn? Can you really not hear me? I really want to have one more person to talk to, woo woo woo..."
"..."
Ye Anping thought it was a trick for gaining his sympathy and ignored it.
However, one could infer from her tone that Feng Yu Die had earned a hefty reward.
Who knew how many spirit stones she brought back from the Fort of Secrets...
Ye Anping opened his eyes only after hearing footsteps and then watched Xiao Tian floating in front of him, pretending to cry with a smile on her face.
He ignored her, stood up, and his head passed through her body.
It was the first time he had passed through Xiao Tian's body. Normally, she would avoid other people's heads and rarely took the initiative to pass through other people's bodies.
When his eyes entered Xiao Tian's belly, a golden light enveloped him at once, almost burning his retinas. But even so, he still vaguely saw a golden dragon holding the Heavenly Dao Scroll and perusing it.
The golden dragon was completely out of proportion to the scroll in its hand. The scroll was not even as big as its eye.
Did this little thing carry Feng Yu Die's Holy Emperor Dragon Body inside her?
Of course, the image only remained in Ye Anping's field of vision for a second. After his head passed through Xiao Tian, the scene disappeared.
Xiao Tian's reaction was a little slow. After he had passed through, she covered her chest with a shy face. "Oops! It's all been seen!"
"..."
Ye Anping still ignored her and looked toward the entrance of the physiotherapy center. Feng Yu Die, wearing a snow-white cotton garment, stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Seeing Ye Anping, she raised her eyebrows slightly and greeted with a cheerful smile. "Young Master Ye, how have you been lately? Did you miss me?"
"..."
Ye Anping stared at her quietly, motioned with his chin to the back room, and then led her inside. He latched the door and sealed the corners with talismans, as usual, to prevent others from eavesdropping.
"Did it go well?"
"Of course! It was basically exactly as you said. I was blindfolded and brought to the Fort of Secrets. Then, I followed the map and route you gave me and smoothly reached the door operating mechanism. When I heard thunder outside, I opened the door to the outer passage of the fort. Then, a fierce Black Star Sect elder rushed in with a group of people, and all hell broke loose inside. It was very exciting."
Feng Yu Die seemed to want to give Ye Anping an account from beginning to end of all the great deeds she had done in the Seven Slayers Sect, but Ye Anping wasn't interested. What he could think of for her, he had already thought of.
Ye Anping nodded lightly. "Well, thank you for your hard work."
"It wasn't hard." Feng Yu Die shrugged and said, "By the way, there's also your share of spirit stones..."
Then, with a gesture, Feng Yu Die took out another dirty storage bag and a wooden box from her storage bag and placed them on the table.
"Cold Sky Sand."
Ye Anping picked up the storage bag, scanned it briefly with his spiritual sense, and raised his eyebrows. "A little over 40,000 spirit stones? Is this the total, or have you already divided it?"
Feng Yu Die frowned and said, "Forty-three thousand and twenty-one spirit stones, I've already divided it. It's the promised fifty-fifty split, yes? I do keep my word; are you afraid I'll give you less than your share?"
"No, I believe you."
"Actually, there were really a lot of spirit stones there. If they hadn't confiscated my own storage bag, I would have filled it with all of them. The storage bag I stole was too small."
"It's good that you got to grab at least that much. The rest was probably taken by the Black Star Sect."
"Ah... it was obvious that I was the hero, but that fierce elder didn't give me any reward or magic weapon." Feng Yu Die complained with a bulging face.
Ye Anping shrugged, then picked up the box she brought, opened it, and looked inside.
Inside was a pearl-like piece of jade sand, about the size of a thumb.
Feng Yu Die explained. "Young Master Ye, after I came back this morning, the Black Star Sect's elder asked me to choose. I chose the box with the word 'Empty' as you said. This is... Is it the right thing?"
"Yeah."
Ye Anping nodded, raised his sword fingers, and the cold sand flew into the storage bag at his waist.
Feng Yu Die asked a little curiously. "Say, what did you want this for? When the elder saw what I got, he looked a little helpless. I asked about it, and he said that it was an extremely cold thing. You have two spiritual roots of water and wood, and Sister Pei has three spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth. It seems that this thing can be used when you practice the extremely cold spirit technique."
Of course, it's for Sister's Foundation Building practice... Ye Anping shrugged. "You can't use it, so don't ask."
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back now. I haven't seen Sister Pei and Sister Xiao for half a month. It's strange, but I miss them."
With that, Feng Yu Die stood up and prepared to leave.
Ye Anping thought for a moment and stopped her. "Help me send a message to my sister."
"Eh? What is it?"
"Tell her to come here after sunset tonight. I have something very important to say to her."
"Like what?"
"It's personal."
"I see."
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips after hearing this and didn't insist.
After watching her leave, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief...
