Chapter 375 - The Protagonist: Ye Roasted Chicken!



He had used Si Xuanji\'s jade pendant to hide his aura, so how did Feng Yu Die notice him?

It didn\'t make sense...

It seemed that they would have to move again soon. Otherwise, if Feng Yu Die told his sister, the three of them would come to look for him immediately.

Ye Anping exhaled lightly and pulled at the edge of the paper window, wanting to sneak a peek at the Traveler\'s Pavilion\'s situation.

However, before he could open the window, a small golden figure pierced through it.

Xiao Tian poked her upper body through the paper window.

"..."

Ye Anping was about to put down his teacup when he saw Xiao Tian suddenly poking in. His hand froze in mid-air, and he became speechless.

Xiao Tian blinked in surprise, turned around, and shouted to Feng Yu Die on the street below. "Yu Die!! Get up here quickly!!"

---"Huh? Who is it?"

"The roasted chicken you\'ve been longing for day and night!!"

?

Ye Anping\'s eyes twitched slightly, but before he could say anything, Feng Yu Die jumped up from the street, clung to the window sill, and pushed open the half-closed window, flipping into the room.

When Feng Yu Die heard Xiao Tian, she was still wondering what the "roasted chicken she\'s been longing for" was, and when she saw Ye Anping who was holding a cup of tea at the table, perhaps she was too excited. Her eyes widened slightly, and she came up with a sentence.

"Ye Roasted Chicken?!"

?

""

A row of veins popped out uncontrollably on Ye Anping\'s forehead, and his eyes twitched. He asked in a menacing tone, "What?"

"Oops..." Feng Yu Die touched the back of her head and smiled foolishly. "Hehehe... It was a slip of the tongue. Master Ye, why didn\'t you come to greet us just now?"

"It\'s not convenient."

"Sister Pei and Sister Xiao are here. Oh yeah, you just saw them right? I\'ll call them over!!"

Feng Yu Die blinked, turned around, and leaned on the window, shouting toward the Traveler\'s Pavilion. "Sis... Woo-woo--"

At this point, Ye Anping could no longer sit still. He got up, covered her mouth with his left hand, and grabbed her neck before dragging her away from the window.

Then, he used his spiritual power to close the window with a "snap" and lowered his head, glaring at Feng Yu Die who was leaning on his chest. "Don\'t scream."

Looking at Ye Anping\'s fierce gaze, Feng Yu Die nodded with some grievance. "Woo..."

Only then did Ye Anping let go of her mouth, sat back on the chair, and raised his hand to wipe the saliva on it with a look of disgust.

---"Don\'t tell the others I\'m here."

"Oh..."

Feng Yu Die sat across the table, propped up her cheeks, and looked at Ye Anping\'s face with a squint and a giggle. "Hee hehehe..."

Hearing her giggle, Ye Anping looked up at her and couldn\'t help but sigh in his heart. It had been nearly three years since he last saw her, but Feng Yu Die was still as silly as before. She really hadn\'t changed at all. 

"What are you laughing at?"

"After seeing Young Master Ye, I feel at ease, hehe..."

Feng Yu Die thought for a while and said, "I just thought I ran into the demonic cultivator in this town, but it turned out to be you, Young Master Ye. Oh, by the way, Young Master Ye, you don\'t know yet, right? We ran into a demonic cultivator who played with poison in Yulu Town in the north. Sister Pei said that he reminded her of the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect in that Wuxi Town..."

"Oh? Sister said so?"

"Yes."

Ye Anping was surprised. Even if Feng Yu Die\'s intuition was accurate, he didn\'t expect his sister\'s intuition to be quite sharp as well. If that was the case, he could rest assured.

"Well, that\'s a relief."

"A relief? Why are you hiding from Sister Pei and Sister Xiao? They really miss you, you know."

Ye Anping took a sip of tea, ignored Xiao Tian who was sitting on the table with a smirk on her face, and replied calmly, "There is no rush to meet them. Being always by my side, they won\'t grow up. This demonic cultivator\'s matter is good practice. You guys go and take care of that by yourselves."

"Ah..."

"Ah what? It\'s just a demonic cultivator. Can\'t the three of you handle it?"

"It\'s not that I can\'t handle it... It\'s just that I feel something is missing when you\'re not around, and I don\'t feel safe."

Feng Yu Die looked away, twirled her silver hair between her fingers, pursed her lips, and glanced at Ye Anping\'s face again as if she was relieved.

She felt that Ye Anping was only saying that he would not help, but in fact, if they encountered any difficulties, he would definitely step in as well.

So she didn\'t say anything, and her gaze shifted to the roasted chicken on the table that Ye Anping had taken a few bites of. Her eyes lit up as she hastily reached out, tore off half of it, and began to feast on it.

"As expected, Master Ye\'s roasted chicken is the best..."

"Don\'t talk with your mouth full, swallow first."

"Gulp---" Feng Yu Die swallowed and licked her lips. "Your roasted chicken is still the best. I always feel that the roasted chicken on the street stalls lacks some flavor..."

"This was made by the inn."

Feng Yu Die looked puzzled, and she tilted her head. "But... it tastes different. This one is better."

"..."

Ye Anping didn\'t react for a moment, only raising his eyebrows. However, looking at Xiao Tian who was covering her mouth and laughing silently at him and Feng Yu Die, a guess appeared in his mind...

Could it be another effect caused by binding fate to the Heavenly Dao Scroll?

Ye Anping felt a chill on his back. He raised his head slightly and looked at Feng Yu Die\'s face as she ate her roasted chicken. Her cherry lips were shiny with oil, and her eyes were beautiful, just like a picture of a willow swaying and a flower smiling.

Snap---

He suddenly felt his cheeks getting hot, and realizing what was happening, he raised his hand and slapped his forehead, then quickly opened the window and breathed in the cold snowy air outside.

"Hiss--"

?

Feng Yu Die looked up with a confused face. "Master Ye, why are you hitting yourself?"

"...To sober up."

Ye Anping\'s face darkened, but Xiao Tian\'s smile became even bigger.

Glaring at Xiao Tian, he hastily changed the topic. "Say, what did the girls say to Xiyue?"

"Oh...well, Sister Pei spoke ill of you."

?

Ye Anping was slightly stunned, but he immediately guessed what it was about, and a doting smile appeared on his face.

Every time Sister protected her \'food\', she always used this trick.

When she first arrived at the Black Star Sect, she protected her \'food\' from Xiao Yunluo like this.

After that, when they went to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, she also protected her \'food\' from Yun Yiyi.

Six years had passed, and she was still using the same method to protect her \'food\'. Couldn\'t she think of a better way?

"Forget it... I\'ll explain it to Xiyue later."

Ye Anping shrugged and, seeing that Feng Yu Die had almost finished the chicken, he said, "Go back quickly after you finish eating. Remember, don\'t tell the girls I\'m here."

"Uhm..."

Feng Yu Die nodded, but she had no intention of getting up and leaving. She squirmed and rubbed her hands hesitantly.

Ye Anping frowned. "What? You don\'t want to leave?"

Feng Yu Die blinked. "Well... It\'s not that I don\'t want to go. This roasted chicken really tastes better. Are you going to live here? Then, I\'ll come every day to eat your roasted chicken..."

"That way you\'ll expose this place to the others..."

"It\'s okay! I\'ll sneak over! I won\'t be discovered..."

"...Alright."

"Hee hee -- then, prepare a roasted chicken for me every day at noon."

"Fine."

Feng Yu Die grinned and cleaned up the chicken bones, then stood up, wanting to jump out of the window. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something as stopped and turned to look at him.

?

"What\'s wrong now?"

"Hmm... Congratulations on your Core Formation~"

Ye Anping was surprised, but he gave a small nod. "...Thank you, you too..."

"Hmm..."

Feng Yu Die smiled and jumped out the window in one step.

But somehow, when she jumped out, her shoes hooked on the window sill, and she lost her balance.

---"Ouch!"

Following a cry of surprise, a dull sound came from the street.

"..."

Ye Anping pursed his lips wordlessly, then let out a long sigh. He didn\'t even bother to look outside as he disdainfully said, "Tsk, there was a door, but you refused to use it... and even fell down. What an embarrassment of a Core Formation cultivator."

However, he couldn\'t help but smile, thinking that it was somewhat cute...

The next moment, he quickly picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.

In his heart, he added, in the official language of the Southern Region, Cute my ass, just an idiot.

Ye Anping took a deep breath and, seeing Xiao Tian still slumped on the table looking at him with a smile, he frowned. "Why are you still here?"

"Hehe--- It\'s not far anyway, I\'ll just live here with you~"

Xiao Tian then narrowed her eyes, smiling. "Anping, do you think Yu Die has changed a lot?"

"What\'s changed?"

"Hey, think about the first time you met Yu Die, what was she like? And what\'s she like now?"

"...Well, she\'s changed from a small cultivator at the Qi Refining stage to a big cultivator at the Core Formation stage."

"I\'m not talking about that~ I\'m talking about... You see, Yu Die used to hate you, but now she relies on you."

"I know what you want to say." Ye Anping rolled his eyes. "But, it\'s impossible."

"Oh~ Why not... You already have so many girls, one more Yu Die is not a big deal... stingy!~~"

Xiao Tian stuck out her tongue, jumped up, and disappeared into his head, leaving Ye Anping alone in the room with a frown on his face.

?

Was this a matter of being stingy?

Lianxue, Yunluo, Yun Yiyi, Li Longling...

Who knew, was his rice bowl enough to feed them all?...

"...Whatever."

Ye Anping shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He went down to find the innkeeper and got a pot of rice wine, then sat alone by the window to pass the time.

The sun was slowly setting on the horizon, and dark clouds drifted over White Moon Town

, engulfing the shadows of the people on the streets.

A light snow arrived as expected, sprinkling a layer of icing sugar over the town.

The rice wine in Ye Anping\'s pot had almost reached the bottom when suddenly, a flying sword arrived from the direction of Heavenly Wind City.

Li Longling, with the Fire Phoenix in her arms, jumped in from the window. She took off the bamboo hat on her head and sat down at the table. "Anping."

"Well, how\'s our bounty going?"

Li Longling shook her head slightly as she put the Fire Phoenix on the table. "It\'s just as you said. Those bounty hunters failed to deal with them. In the past month, many famous assassins in the Northern Region have disappeared; most of them are dead. The shop owner told me that most probably no one in the Northern Region would dare to touch our bounty now."

As she spoke, Li Longling took out a piece of paper with the names of the missing killers written on it.

Ye Anping took it and looked at the top.

Black Yang and White Yin, Seven Mysteries Sect\'s Sword Master, and Ghost Hunting Sect\'s Broken Sky... a total of thirteen people.

He knew most of the names. In the game, these people were all wild Bosses in the Northern Region\'s Cold Country map. Their strength could not be underestimated. One of them was even a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although Ye Anping had a premonition that this would happen, he still felt a little surprised when he saw the name list Li Longling brought over, and he sighed in his heart. ---As expected of her. She actually managed to annihilate the huge bounty that Li Longling and he had set up.

"She is worthy of being the bearer of the Heavenly Demonic Scroll, sigh..."

Li Longling tilted her head slightly, smiling. "You know her so well. Is it because she\'s a girl? Anping, you really don\'t reject anyone, not even demonic cultivators are spared."

?

Ye Anping was speechless, then joked, "She\'s the only demonic cultivator who can escape from my hands. There\'s nothing wrong with praising her."

"...So what should we do now?"

"To be honest, I don\'t want to confront her head-on," Ye Anping said calmly before looking at the Traveler\'s Pavilion out the window. "But unfortunately... we will probably run into each other."

"You\'re saying it can\'t be avoided?"

"Yeah..."

In a sense, Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin were mortal enemies. Ever since their first encounter in the game, they would always meet in strange ways.

Moreover, the theory of fate had been proven by Yun Kunwu of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

Ye Anping concluded that Gu Mingxin would inevitably come around Heavenly Wind City by chance and meet them.

Rationally speaking, a head-on confrontation would result in a fierce battle that would not benefit either side, but it was probably unavoidable.

If Gu Mingxin was bound to meet Feng Yu Die, then if he took Li Longling and Feng Yu Die away now, they might have to face each other later.

At least around Heavenly Wind City, they still had Xu Mulan and her Snow Guards to help...

No matter how he thought, he still had to deal with that demonic cultivator that acted like Wu You as soon as possible.

"Longling, you don\'t have to worry too much. Although Gu Mingxin is powerful, she must have suffered a lot of injuries after encountering so many assassins. I don\'t believe she can still be in good shape..."

"I\'m not worried." Li Longling propped up her cheeks and tilted her head as she smiled." At most, I\'ll die with Young Master Ye in the Northern Region. Isn\'t that romantic?"

Ye Anping tapped her forehead. "...I won\'t die so easily, and neither will you."

"Then, after we return to the Western Region, Anping will marry me..."

When Ye Anping heard the sentence, he quickly reached out to cover Li Longling\'s mouth and frowned. "...You can\'t say that."

"Hehe~"

"You\'re still laughing... Well, go and gather your energy and rest. We may not be able to sleep tonight."

"Okay, I\'ll do as you say."

Ye Anping drank the remaining rice wine in his cup in one gulp, then stood up and put on the bamboo hat that Li Longling had placed on the table. He looked at the window and pondered for a while before finally turning around and walking out the door.
