The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

As the sky was getting dark, the lights on the Flowing Water Peak gradually lit up.

The room, foggy with water vapors, was lit by several stone lanterns.

On the screen at the door, the silhouette of a young man taking a bath was outlined.

Ye Anping was soaking in the tub holding the Heavenly Dao Scroll in his left hand and resting his right hand on his knee in a relaxed manner.

Xiao Tian leaned her back against his chest with a blush on her cheeks.

From time to time, she raised her head to glance at Ye Anping's chin with wide eyes.

Because there were pills like the Face Shaping pill, which weren't very expensive, basically any regular Qi Refining stage cultivator who saved up for a month or two could buy one.

So, there was this saying amongst the cultivators: ---Appearance is the least important information about a cultivator.

If a cultivator isn't beautiful, it's just because he doesn't want to.

But having said that, a beautiful skin was pleasing to the eye, not to mention someone as naturally beautiful as Ye Anping, winning even Xiao Tian's heart.

His black hair, hanging naturally after being wetted by hot water, his eyes focused while reading, and that interesting thing under the water...

Xiao Tian couldn't resist and buried her head under the water, only to find that Ye Anping was actually wearing a pair of shorts in the bath.

She immediately raised her head and asked blankly, "Anping, why are you wearing pants in the bath?

" Ye Anping turned his eyes from the Heavenly Dao Scroll back to her with an indifferent expression.

"Aren't you also taking a bath with your clothes on?

" "...

" Xiao Tian was silenced for a long time by this boomerang answer.

After a short inner struggle, she pulled down the shoulder straps of her clothes made of an unknown material and said in a small voice, "Anping, if you want to see it, just say it~ There's no need to be so tactful~~" ?

Ye Anping had no idea that her clothes could really be taken off.

For a moment, he was surprised but was also curious about her unclothed appearance, so he pretended not to be interested and turned his eyes back to the scroll.

In fact, he was peeking with his peripheral vision.

However, Xiao Tian just pulled her clothes down a bit.

When she was about to flash him, she quickly pulled her clothes back and grinned.

"I won't show you~ You didn't even give me a place to live, hmph!

" A little disappointed, Ye Anping said flatly, "I'm not interested in what's underneath your clothes.

" "Then, why are you still peeking out of the corner of your eye?

" Xiao Tian half closed her eyes.

"When you pretended you couldn't see me, you would peek at me from the corner of your eyes every time.

I saw through it a long time ago.

You were definitely watching just now, little rascal!

" "...

" Ye Anping didn't know what to say, so he simply stopped talking and continued reading.

Xiao Tian covered her mouth and chuckled, then leaned back, rubbing his chest with her hair.

"Anping, why did you pretend not to see me before?

" "You're annoying.

" Xiao Tian frowned and looked up at him.

"I'm asking you seriously.

Stop trying to fool me...

What's so annoying about me?

" "You talk too much.

" "If I talk a lot, that's because I don't have anyone to talk to except for Yu Die.

" Xiao Tian poked her fingers and said pitifully, "Yu Die and I were born together, it could be said that since she was born, I've always been with her.

But until she was two and a half years old and her spiritual root and bloodline started to manifest, she couldn't see me.

During those two and a half years, no matter how much I shouted, no one paid any attention to me.

It was as if I didn't exist.

I don't want to experience that again.

" "...

" "Anping, you are the second person I can talk to in my life, so talk to me more.

I also want to know more about you.

After all, you are now my...

" Xiao Tian seemed a little flustered, hesitated for a while, then blurted out a whisper, "Master...

" Ye Anping put down the Heavenly Dao Scroll with a sigh.

"I ignored you because I didn't want to be involved with you.

" "Why?

" "I am a cultivator with two spiritual roots and no outstanding talent in cultivation.

Although I am not too bad, I am still a mediocre person who blends in the crowd and no one can find me.

I am just a small cannon fodder, while you are the Heavenly Dao spirit.

Feng Yu Die, same as Yun Kunwu, is an outstanding person, and even the Heavens are jealous of their talent.

I don't want to be involved in these geniuses' affairs.

" Ye Anping closed the Heavenly Dao Scroll and returned it to Xiao Tian.

"One should know his place, be neither humble nor arrogant, and know how to settle down.

That's what I was taught as a child.

" "Anping, but you are awesome!

You are underestimating yourself!

If you can see me, it means that Heaven is also favoring you.

" "I don't believe in Heaven.

I only believe in myself.

" Ye Anping wanted to knock her head with his finger but accidentally got his finger inside Xiao Tian's head and instantly had a ghostly feeling.

With a black face, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and sighed.

"Originally, I thought I would cultivate thoroughly with my sister and then go to the Cold Country to marry a girl and live out my old age.

Unfortunately, I think that is no longer possible.

" "Cold Country?

" "I heard the scenery there is nice and suitable for a simple life.

" "But it's written in the scroll that the beasts there are very ferocious.

They cause disasters every year.

It seems they planted something there at one point, which made the beasts much more aggressive than those in other places.

" "Really?

This is the first time I've heard of it.

" Ye Anping made a perfunctory remark before relaxing, closing his eyes, and sinking his face into the water.

Just now, he casually flipped through the Heavenly Dao Scroll, which was indeed like an encyclopedia, recording the deeds that had happened in the Immortal Realm, as well as the lives of some capable people.

There were also quite a few traces of later revisions, like the initial map of that Seven Slayers Sect's Secret Fort.

It seemed that Xiao Tian had helped to update the contents on it and pasted the map he originally drew.

As an artifact spirit, Xiao Tian was both the custodian and the compiler of the Heavenly Dao Scroll.

For thousands of years, the Heavenly Dao spirits had followed the life experiences of each "Feng Yu Die", and everything they saw and heard was recorded in this book, which seemed to be only a thick encyclopedia.

This was not so much the Heavenly Dao as it was a history book.

As history books were compiled for future generations, this Heavenly Dao Scroll was also compiled for the future "Feng Yu Die".

After one "Feng Yu Die" died, her experience would be passed on to the next one to prevent them from making the same mistakes again.

In this way, the cycle of life was turning.

This was what Feng Yu Die was carrying.

Thousands of years of changes in mountains and rivers, sunsets and moonrises, all were contained in this small scroll of the Heavenly Dao.

And now, such a heavy thing fell on his shoulders.

"Sigh--" Ye Anping sighed, then stood up and got out of the tub.

"Anping, aren't you going to bathe?

" "Uh-huh.

" Knock knock--- Suddenly there were two knocks on the door, followed by Huang Quan's voice.

"Master, haven't you finished your bath yet?

" "Just finished.

" Ye Anping replied.

"What is it?

" "Eldest Young Lady just returned and asked me to convey to you that she would like to invite you over for a cup of tea and a chat.

" "...

" Ye Anping paused for a moment.

Thinking that it was time to put the cards on the table, he felt some pressure for no reason.

He patted his face and replied, "I see.

I'll go there as soon as I get dressed.

" Seeing his actions, Xiao Tian was slightly confused, and she lay down on his head, asking, "Anping, what's wrong?

You seem so helpless.

" "It's time to repay a debt.

" Ye Anping shrugged, took out a set of clothes from his storage bag, and put them on directly without taking off his wet shorts.

Xiao Tian was taken aback.

"Anping, aren't your pants wet?!

Isn't it uncomfortable?

" "It's better than being called a rascal by you.

"
