The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix-Chapter 13: Peeling An Apple

Ye Ao watched Kong Yulan carry Feng Yu Die to the back room, then took a look at the magical artifacts and identity tablet brought by Ye Anping and pinched the bridge of his nose as if in distress.

Then, he looked at Pei Lianxue. "Little Pei, follow them and help with that girl."

"Ah... yes." Pei Lianxue nodded fearfully, secretly glanced at her brother, then cupped her hands in salute and walked to the back room.

After she left, Ye Ao pulled Ye Anping to the tea table next to the *Heavenly Pavilion* and took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea. Ye Ao felt that his mind was a little confused at this moment, not to mention why the Grand Master of the ***Magical Poison*** Sect had come to the hidden realm of the Immortal Cultivator Families.

What he couldn't understand the most was Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue. Not only shouldn't they be able to kill a *Core Formation* stage demonic cultivator, but they also shouldn't even have the ability to injure such a person.

"Anping, tell Father the truth. Did you and little Pei really fight a magic cultivator at the *Core Formation* stage, and no one else helped you?"

"Father..."

Ye Ao raised his hand and interrupted, "Anping, I know your ability. Your bragging may make your mother happy, but I won't buy it. Tell me honestly, what's going on?"

"In fact, we just finished the job, that's all."

"You mean, that man was already wounded when you killed him?"

"Well, a golden dragon suddenly appeared in **Wuxi Town**. It seems that the demonic cultivator had a fight with the golden dragon and then ran into us, barely alive. When he saw us, he wanted to heal his wounds using our souls, but Lianxue and I killed him instead."

Ye Ao's eyes narrowed slightly. "A golden dragon?"

"Yeah, a golden dragon." Ye Anping shrugged and nodded. "Father, if you don't believe me, you can go to **Wuxi Town** and ask. There should be quite a few people who have seen that golden dragon."

"Then, who is the girl that you brought back?"

"After the golden dragon disappeared, Lianxue and I went to see where it was, and that's where we found her."

Hearing this, Ye Ao opened his eyes slightly as if he had heard something terrible, then turned his head and glanced at the back room.

After all, he was an old cultivator, so he had to know about the inheritance of the Holy Emperor's bloodline.

And now, the girl who had the bloodline of the Holy Emperor was saved and brought back home by his own son.

Ye Ao had never expected his son to do any great things in his life until now. After all, he was just a dual spiritual root, maybe he could go farther than himself on the Immortality path, but definitely not too far.

But now, he saw an opportunity to further develop the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect and the Ye family.

The descendent of the Holy Emperor, as long as there were no accidents, would definitely become the next Holy Emperor of the Imperial Family.

If Ye Anping could be together with that girl, it would be a great thing for the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, the Ye family, and even Ye Anping himself.

When he introduced that girl, he knew so many details. It certainly must be her who told him everything, and since she was willing to tell Ye Anping about her master, it meant that she probably had a good impression of him.

"Anping, what's the girl's name, Feng something?"

"Feng Yu Die."

"Good." Ye Ao nodded and happily took a sip of his tea. "Since you saved her, take care of her these days, okay?"

"Of course---" Ye Anping nodded promptly. "Not."

"Well... eh?" The smile on Ye Ao's face instantly froze. "What?"

"Let Xiaodie do it." Ye Anping shrugged and smiled. "What if I take care of her, and she takes a fancy to me? After all, I am so outstanding and elegant."

"Cough, cough--" Ye Ao choked on his tea and coughed several times, frowning. "What's wrong with that? That girl looks very pretty to me."

"It's definitely not good."

"...Why not?"

Feng Yu Die was the protagonist while he was just cannon fodder, something he couldn't hide from!

But, of course, he couldn't say that.

"Well." Ye Anping sighed bitterly. "Father, we can't aim too high, can we?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know I'm an ordinary dual-spiritual-root cultivator, so if you want to find me a partner, that person should also be an ordinary dual or triple-spiritual-root cultivator. If the difference in cultivation skills between husband and wife is too much, the couple will lack stability. I don't want to be a henpecked husband like you, Father, after marriage."

"Henpecked? What do you mean, henpecked?"

"I mean, the wife is in control."

"What is a wife in control?"

"It's like this: I fear nothing in Heaven or Earth, I'm only afraid of my wife henpecking."

"..."

Ye Ao froze, and the veins on his face and the back of his hands bulged.

But before he could slap Ye Anping on the head, the latter smiled and quickly poured tea into his cup. "Father, look, your son will serve you tea."

Suddenly feeling helpless and tired, Ye Ao shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to care about you, kid. But, seriously, if you meet the elder of the ***Black Star*** Sect the day after tomorrow, if he asks about it, you can say that you and your sister met a seriously injured demonic cultivator and attacked him while he was off guard. Don't go into too much detail, understand?"

"...The elder of the ***Black Star*** Sect?"

"The Second Elder of *Dragon Star Academy* in the*** Black Star*** Sect."

"Father, you didn't think Lianxue and I could kill the demonic cultivator? Why did you call the elders of the ***Black Star*** Sect?"

Ye Ao rolled his eyes. "I didn't say anything about the demonic cultivator. I asked him to come over to play chess and give you some pointers, and it cost your old man three thousand spirit stones."

His old man turned out to be quite arrogant.

"Okay." Ye Anping drank his tea, then stood up. "Father, I will go to my room now. I am exhausted."

"Alright."

...

In the back room, Kong Yulan treated Feng Yu Die with her true energy stored up for the past year, then moved her to a guest room in the *Heavenly Pavilion*.

Pei Lianxue had been watching over Feng Yu Die until now.

As for why she stayed here, Pei Lianxue was simply worried that her brother would come to visit her. If he came to visit Feng Yu Die, she had to be there.

However, looking at her lying on the bed now, she only felt a throbbing pain in her heart. Brother could have just left her in that town, so why did he bring her back?

And besides, she was a quality heavenly spiritual root...

She was also very pretty...

And about the same age as her brother...

Pei Lianxue became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. Finally, she was so angry that she took a dagger from her storage bag and began to peel an apple.

As if hearing the ominous sound of apples being peeled, Feng Yu Die slowly opened her eyes.

She looked around in a daze. On the way to the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, she had woken up several times while being carried by Pei Lianxue, so she was under the impression that she had been saved by her.

Seeing Pei Lianxue, she called softly. "Miss Pei..."

Coldly, Pei Lianxue stopped her knife and skimmed off the peel. "Are you awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake."

"Well, a girl named Xiaodie will come to take care of you later. Tell her what you need. Don't bother my brother, do you understand?"

"Ah..." Seeing that Pei Lianxue was about to leave, Feng Yu Die quickly reached out to her. "Wait, Miss Pei."

"What is it?"

"Well..." Feng Yu Die pursed her lips shyly. "Thank you for saving me."

"Hmph." Pei Lianxue snorted and threw her the apple she had peeled until the core was the only thing that was left. "Here, I peeled an apple for you."

Then, she left the room without looking back.
