Chapter 568 - Post-Scriptum
The Heavenly Immortal Realm celebrated the Spring Festival in the fourth year of the Immortal Calendar.
Rumble...
The lightning flashed like a raging python, sprinkling raindrops over the entire Hundred Lotus Sect.
On the martial arts platform, a seven-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy fought with blunt swords in the sound of metal clashing.
Ding Ding...
The girl had long black and white hair and one purple and one golden eye, which looked very strange, but her sword dance was very graceful, like a poem or a painting. Her nimble footwork and elegant swordplay complemented each other, and these two points alone were comparable to those of many cultivators in the Hundred Lotus Sect who had practiced swordplay for more than ten years.
Her name was Ye Hanyin, and she was the eldest daughter of the Hundred Lotus Sect Master.
It was rumored that she was born with the ability to speak.
While other children her age were still learning to speak, she had already become a disciple of Master Qi of the Black Star Sect and had memorized the Seven Books and the Twelve Classics; when other kids of her age were still learning to walk, she was already training with a wooden sword, following the brothers and sisters in the sect to practice swordsmanship on the martial arts stage.
She was born with a sword body and a heavenly spiritual root.
On her birthday, all the sects from the five regions came to pay their respects to her, and after seeing her, all the sect leaders wanted to take her in as their personal disciple.
Ye Anping didn't care who she chose as her master, but after Si Xuanji hugged her, the little one grabbed her hair and wouldn't let go, and continued to call Si Xuanji her master all the time. Thus, Ye Hanyin became Concubine Xiao's younger sister, causing Xiao Yunluo to stare in depression at little Ye Hanyin.
Whoosh—
Just when Ye Hanyin and the five-year-old boy in front of her were about to decide the winner, a clear bell sound came through the thunderstorm.
Ding ling ling—
Ye Hanyin, who was fighting with the five-year-old boy, twitched her ears and blocked the boy's sword. She took five steps back and turned to look.
A small oiled-paper umbrella emerged from under the martial arts platform, and then a barefoot girl with long black and white hair appeared.
Si Xuanji held up her umbrella and walked up the steps of the martial arts platform with her bare feet. She squinted her yin and yang eyes at the two kids on the stage and smiled.
Seeing that it was her master, Ye Hanyin's originally cold face was filled with surprise. She ignored her sparring partner and pounced toward her master: "Master, why are you here?"
"She's hungry!! She's hungry!!"
"?"
Ye Hanyin looked toward the sound and found that there was a parrot on Si Xuanji's head, hiding under the oiled paper umbrella to avoid the rain.
"The parrot is here too..." Ye Hanyin pursed her lips and asked, "Master, you are already a Void Returning cultivator, are you still hungry?"
"Void Returning cultivators are also human beings, but they are not hungry." Si Xuanji lifted the parrot and placed it on Ye Hanyin's head, smiling like a mischievous cat, "It's just that I haven't tasted meat for a long time, so I'm a little craving."
"Then Master, can't you ask Aunt Qiu to make you something to eat? You have come all the way to the Hundred Lotus Sect... There is nothing particularly delicious here."
Si Xuanji smiled softly: "There's your dad."
"Eh? My dad..."
Ye Hanyin froze for a moment, and then suddenly understood, and asked: "So, Master, you like my father's roast chicken too? I thought it was just my mother..."
"Well, it's not quite the roasted chicken..."
Bang---!
Before Si Xuanji could finish her words, her head dropped as if she had received a hit.
"You old girl! What are you saying in front of my little Hanyin?!"
The parrot was startled, and hastily flicked its tongue, saying: "You deserved it! You deserved it!!"
It was only then that Ye Hanyin saw that Xiao Tian had somehow gotten onto Si Xuanji's shoulder, and was now angrily poking her with her wooden sword, causing her face to bulge.
"Ugh?"
Ye Hanyin shrank her neck, hurriedly pulled Xiao Tian off Si Xuanji's shoulder, and held her in her hand.
"Master, I'm sorry... Xiao Tian suddenly..."
Si Xuanji couldn't see Xiao Tian and Xue'e and couldn't even sense them, so she had no way to deal with them. She pouted in dissatisfaction and looked at Ye Hanyin's clenched hands: "Is that little guy here?"
"Hmph~~"
Xiao Tian made a face at Si Xuanji, but Ye Hanyin quickly pinched her face and scolded her: "Xiao Tian, don't be disrespectful to Master."
Si Xuanji smiled without saying anything, patted her head, and wrapped her up with a rain-proof spell, then looked at the expressionless little boy standing aside.
Seeing Si Xuanji looking at him, the boy respectfully bowed to her and said in a mature tone but childish voice: "Greetings, Matriarch Si."
After he reminded her, Ye Hanyin finally reacted and immediately stepped back to salute Si Xuanji: "Greetings, Master!"
Looking at the two little kids bowing to her, Si Xuanji shook her head and sighed: "I am not a stranger, why are you so polite? Also, I have told you so many times, call me Sister Si."
The boy looked away and complained in a small voice: "Master Si, you are thousands of years older than our parents. When I call you sister, my father becomes my son."
Bang—
Si Xuanji raised her hand and flicked his head, with a helpless look.
This kid had a big mouth. Who knew who he learned that from?
"Forget it. Qinghe, where is your sister? Didn't she accompany you to practice swordplay?"
Ye Qinghe shrugged slightly, spread his hands, and said: "At my mother's. Mother is free today, so she is personally teaching her sword techniques. Senior sister Liang is probably there too...Daddy asked me to practice swordsmanship with sister Hanyin, and that's how I escaped death."
"Is that so..."
Si Xuanji nodded, thought for a while, and asked: "Pei girl has that kind of personality. She was trained through beatings when she was a child."
"I've heard that my father beat my mother every day when they were children... The Elders of the Hundred Lotus Sect all said so. He must like my mother very much. After all, she is very powerful..." Ye Qinghe glanced at Ye Hanyin and added: "And she can even deal with Auntie Feng and beat her..."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Hanyin frowned and quickly retorted: "That's because my mother wasn't serious! If my mother had been serious, how could your mother have won?! Humph~~"
"Ah, yes, yes..." Ye Ying nodded condescendingly, "Auntie Feng is pretty capable, just a little silly. Daddy convinced her to marry him with just a few roasted chickens."@@@@
Ye Hanyin frowned, looked at her brother, tightened the hilt of the sword, and threatened: "If you call my mother stupid again, I will beat you up! Do you believe me?!"
Seeing the two siblings at loggerheads, Si Xuanji shook her head, raised her hand, and gave each of them a slap on the head, making them both frown.
"Ouch!" "Hiss--"
"Why are you two so much like your mothers back then; making a fuss over nothing?"
"Oh..." "..."
Si Xuanji waved her hand and cast a spell to help the two kids avoid the rain. She said: "It's raining so hard, stop practicing. Go back to change your clothes, and..."
With another wave of her black sleeve, three shorter spiritual swords flew out of her waist pouch and landed in front of the two kids.
"These are the swords your Aunt Bai made for you. Qinghe, you have one for your sister too. Remember to give it to her later."
"Yes, Master Si."
Si Xuanji frowned slightly: "Hmm?"
Ye Qinghe immediately changed his words: "...Sister Si."
"Hmm~~"
Si Xuanji smiled, looked around, and then floated up, flying slowly toward the back mountain of the Hundred Lotus Sect.
After watching Si Xuanji fly away, Ye Hanyin pursed her lips and asked: "Do you think Master has a crush on our father?"
As long as he could find it, it meant that those heaven-defying pills that could only be obtained by paying real money in "Heavenly Sword Fantasy", did exist.
Aside from the 'Nine Transformations Pill', what Ye Anping wanted most was a full-level ascension pill, which could reach the Void Returning stage with just one pill, and was called the 'Nine-star Heaven-reaching Pill'.
He, his sister, Feng Yu Die, Gu Mingxin, and Xiao Yunluo didn't need it, but Yun Yiyi and Li Longling didn't have outstanding spiritual roots.
He did not want to gamble with their lives.
Yun Yiyi and Li Longling were also his wives, so it was his duty to protect them.
And the best solution was the Nine-star Heaven-reaching Pill.
However, Ye Anping had already made up his mind. If he still couldn't find it within sixty years, and there was no other good way, he would find a few cultivators with natural spiritual roots and dig out their spiritual roots for Li Longling and Yun Yiyi...
Of course, this was the final solution that would be used only when there was really no other way.
Si Xuanji saw that Ye Anping's eyes had become serious, and was somewhat puzzled. She asked: "Why are you looking for the Nine Transformations Pill?"
"Of course, it's for you, Xuanji." Ye Anping smiled, "Isn't it because of your cultivation technique that you can't have children?"
"..."
Si Xuanji widened her eyes slightly. She had never expected that Ye Anping would actually think about this. After hesitating for a while, she shook her head and said: "Anping, there's no need... I can treat Hanyin and the others as my own children."
"Then why don't you want to tell Hanyin and the others about us?"
"..."
"Besides, when you hatched Yunluo in the back mountain of the Black Star Sect, didn't you also tell the four regions that she was your biological child? Xuanji, you..."
At this point, Si Xuanji frowned, turned around, grabbed Ye Anping's collar, and blocked his mouth with hers.
"Anping, rather than having your child, I hope you can live up to your name, Anping, Anping (calm and peaceful)."
"Well, don't worry. I'm a good young man, I would never gamble with that."
Si Xuanji lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Ye Anping's thin shirt that showed his well-defined muscles. A faint blush gradually appeared on her cheeks and she whispered: "Anping, I'm hungry..."
"Eh? You mean..."
Si Xuanji kissed Ye Anping again, and then she poked his collarbone with her finger and drew circles: "Anping, Xiao Tian beat me earlier."
Listening to this little girl in the Void Returning stage complaining to a young Nascent Soul cultivator like a spoiled child, Ye Anping felt a little amused and replied: "...I'll teach her a lesson later."
Then he gently cupped Si Xuanji's cheeks, lifting her head, and took the initiative to kiss her moist cherry lips.
Standing on a tree branch, the parrot watched the two people rolling in the water pool like two dragons playing with a pearl. It immediately spread its wings and flew up, croaking:
"Nothing to do today!! Nothing to do today!!"
"Hundred Lotus' playboy An Ping!! Hundred Lotus' playboy An Ping!!"
Bang—
Then it slammed headfirst into Si Xuanji's restriction and fell to the ground...
... ...
The Hundred Lotus Sect, Eastern Peak.
Clatter—
Rain crackled against the windowsill and occasionally, thunder rumbled.
Under the eaves, a silver-haired girl was lying down on a recliner, with her face covered by a book, sleeping like a white-haired dead pig with her legs crossed. She didn't even notice if anyone was approaching her.
At this time, Ye Hanyin came back from the martial arts arena. After wiping the water off her hair, she changed her clothes and went to look for her mother. However, she did not expect that her mother could actually fall asleep on the recliner in such a thunderstorm.
Standing next to Feng Yu Die, looking at her mother, Ye Hanyin asked in a somewhat depressed tone: "Xiao Tian, Daddy really convinced my mom to marry him with a few roasted chickens?"
"Well..." Xiao Tian thought for a while holding her chin and replied, "There were more than a few roasted chickens, at least a thousand. You Die can eat a lot..."
At this, Ye Hanyin looked at her mother as if she were a fool.
To be honest, she had never seen her mother compete with others in swordplay. Most of her knowledge of her mother's "power" came from what Auntie Yun and Auntie Li had told her.
But did she really kill a Core Formation mid-stage cultivator when she was in the Foundation Building stage?
What else did they say... she fought against the Demon King, led the Justice Division to break through the encirclement of the Ghost Spirit Sect in the Central Region, and fought against the Great Elder of the former Heavenly Demon Sect together with Auntie Gu...
Anyway, Auntie Yun and the others all said that her mother was a rare genius cultivator in the world.
But...
Ye Hanyin thought about how she usually saw her mother.
一Always with a silly smile on her face.
一She only thinks of the roasted chickens made by her dad.
一She usually either sleeps or wanders around.
It's like a...
"Second idiot...?"
Ye Hanyin didn't know why, but she murmured this title.
Feng Yu Die, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly shuddered, drowsily raised her hand to lift the book on her face, and looked toward her.
"Huh? Hanyin...did you finish your sword practice?"
"Yes, mother. Master just came and asked me to come back..."
"Oh~~"
Feng Yu Die sat up and put her hands around Ye Hanyin's waist, then lay back down holding her in her arms. She yawned and said: "Then we can have dinner when your father comes back from the Spirit Pond.
"Roasted chicken again, eh..."
"Well...I want to eat roast chicken anyway. If you want to eat something else, let Anping make it for you. Hee-hee"
Feng Yu Die grinned, patted her recliner, and then hugged her daughter tightly like a pillow, turned sideways, and prepared to continue sleeping.
But perhaps because she saw her daughter looking at her as if she were a fool, Feng Yu Die was dazed for a moment and asked: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Mom... who is more powerful in a fight, you or Auntie Pei?"
"Of course it's your mother! When I fought with Sister Pei before, I always gave in to her, but that was because I liked..."
Bang—
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Tian kicked Feng Yu Die on the head, fearing that she would lead little Hanyin astray.
Ye Hanyin tilted her head: "Eh?"
"Anyway, I was the one who gave in to Sister Pei! If I get serious, I can beat ten Pei sisters!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!! Hanyin, you see, every time your father comes to my place, he always supports his waist when he leaves, but when he goes to Sister Pei's place, it's always Sister Pei..."
Bang—
"Yu Die!!! Shut up!!!"
"Why are you so fierce... sigh~~"
