Chapter 476 - Feng Yu Die Has A Trusted Advisor
The sun was sinking into the mountains as the sky was darkening.
In front of the Hundred Lotus Sect's main gate, Ye Anping, wearing the sect's Young Master uniform, was exhausted. However, he had no choice but to show a happy smile as he welcomed the sect masters, elders, and clan cultivators who had come from all over the Western Region to attend the wedding ceremony.
Marrying his sister was a good thing, and he was excited about it.
But he didn't expect that preparing for a wedding would be so energy-consuming. He even felt that it was comparable to writing a strategy plan for an event.
"I have been waiting for you to come to our Hundred Lotus Sect. Welcome, fellow cultivators from the Tiger Leap Sect."
"I wish you and your wife a long life of love, Master Ye. Please accept these gifts."
"Thank you..."
... ...
Greet personally - exchange two or three pleasantries - accept the gift - welcome through the gate...
After repeating the process several times, only a sliver of the sun was left in the sky.
Ye Anping crossed out the last line on the list in his hand, wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, and let out a long breath. "Whew... Except for those who couldn't come due to their own reasons, everyone should have arrived."
Liang Zhu, dressed in a golden brocade robe, helped the Hundred Lotus Sect disciples count the gifts sent by the various sects, then walked over.
Looking at Ye Anping's sorry state, he grinned as if he was enjoying the show, and brought him a cup of tea. "Heh, if you're like this now, what should we do in the future? Miss Xiao of the Black Star Sect, Miss Yun of Moon Shadow Sword Sect, Miss Li of the Dragon House, tsk tsk tsk..."
Indeed, he would have to repeat this marriage ceremony three more times, and it would definitely be on an even larger scale. As the groom, it would tire him a lot.
He was just a small cannon fodder. How could he have so many prodigies by his side...
Sigh... it was really distressing.
Ye Anping smiled crookedly. "Hehe- it's really troublesome, sigh--"
?
Liang Zhu looked at Ye Anping's smug look, his eyes twitching slightly, and then he rolled his eyes at him. "I'll arrange the table for your fiancee in the front."
"Don't wait, I didn't prepare a show for you."
Liang Zhu pouted and shook his head. "That's a pity..."
But after thinking for a while, he asked again, "Then, why did you ask me to set up so many restrictions in front of the main hall? Who are you guarding against..."
Ye Anping glanced at Xiao Tian, who was lying on his shoulder and taking a nap in the sun, before replying, "Just in case. My sister is so beautiful, who knows which idiot might suddenly jump out and want to steal my bride. Aren't there a few young sect masters in these four regions who have had their brides snatched away before?"
As soon as he said these words, Xiao Tian, who was dozing on his shoulder, raised her head and hurriedly defended Feng Yu Die. "Anping, although Yu Die is usually stupid, she understands the general situation. How could she do something like stealing a bride?"
Liang Zhu felt that this matter was dealt with in his Sixth Brother's extremely cautious and calculating style. After a moment of silence, he sighed inexplicably. "Sigh..."
"What is it?"
"It's a pity that your Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother didn't live to see the day of their Sixth Brother's wedding."
?
Ye Anping squeezed a smile. "Then, Sixth Brother will accompany Big Brother Liang to burn incense for them another day."
"Well, happy wedding." Liang Zhu shook his head and patted Ye Anping's shoulder gently. "I'm going to see if Ye Waner is slacking off in the gambling house again. You're the groom, go back and rest quickly. Tomorrow night, you will be married."
It was rare to hear Big Brother Liang say such comforting words, and Ye Anping felt touched. "Well... Thank you, Brother Liang."
Liang Zhu smiled, waved his hand, and stepped on his flying sword, heading toward the Hundred Lotus Sect's market.
After watching Liang Zhu fly away, Ye Anping turned to look at Xiao Tian, who was still defending Feng Yu Die. "Anping, how could Yu Die do something like stealing the bride? You and Miss Pei are the people she cares about the most! Yu Die said before that she likes you! She wants to marry you..."
Ye Anping looked calm and completely unconcerned.
Everyone had heard the story of the boy who cried wolf, and he even used it.
This was not the first time that Xiao Tian said that Feng Yu Die wanted to marry him.
Then again, he had originally planned to invite only acquaintances. Therefore, if Feng Yu Die really wanted to snatch the bride, he was confident that he could prevent it and it would not be a big deal in the end.
But now, the Hundred Lotus Sect had thousands of guests coming to pay their respects.
When he and his sister got married, thousands of cultivators would be watching.
If Feng Yu Die rushed out to steal the bride in that situation, even if she didn't succeed, it would definitely make him, Feng Yu Die, and his sister a laughing stock in the Western Region.
"I'd rather she come to steal the bride in secret than in front of so many people..."
"No way! Yu Die understands the big picture!"
"..."
Looking at Xiao Tian earnestly defending Feng Yu Die, Ye Anping pondered in silence for a while and felt that he still had to go and see Feng Yu Die, reassure her, and tell her not to mess around.
So, he summoned the flying sword and flew straight to the back mountain of the Hundred Lotus Sect.
After arriving at the cave that was specially reserved for holding chickens, he picked out ten fat old hens, bled them, and plucked their feathers in one go. Then, he cooked them thoroughly with five spices, spiritual herbs, and spiritual fire. Before the sun completely set, he had cooked ten fragrant roasted chickens.
He then asked Xiao Tian about Feng Yu Die's current location, and she sensed that she was in the waterside courtyard under the Middle Peak. As a result, he wrapped the ten roasted chickens in oilcloth, hung them on Gu Mingxin's fingers at his waist, and headed there.
When he stepped into the waterside courtyard, a crescent moon was already peeking out from the east.
Lights had been hung in the courtyard, and many guests from other sects were chatting and singing in the corridors or rooms.
Ye Anping walked along the corridor, dealt with a few cultivators who came to say hello, then followed Xiao Tian's instructions before arriving at a pavilion door in a corner.
Knock knock-- creak...
He knocked on the door and opened it, then a strong smell of alcohol instantly hit him from the room.
Ye Anping raised his hand to fan his nose and looked up, only to see Yun Jiujiu and Feng Yu Die sitting across from each other at the table, drinking and playing dice.
Xiao Tian stood on Ye Anping's shoulder and shouted. "Yu Die!! Anping is here to bring you roasted chicken!!"
Feng Yu Die was slightly tipsy and her cheeks were red. She was taken by surprise by Xiao Tian's voice, but after smelling the roasted chicken's aroma, she instantly sobered up and looked at the door with bright eyes.
Seeing Ye Anping with ten chickens around his waist, Feng Yu Die was overjoyed and immediately stood up, but then she remembered the 'chicken taboo'.
"Young Master Ye... didn't you say that roasted chicken is taboo?"
Ye Anping didn't expect her to remember this. He shrugged, walked into the room, and put the roasted chicken on the table between her and Yun Jiujiu. "I don't believe in such things."
"Hehehe... Young Master Ye, you're so good to me." Feng Yu Die blinked shyly and twirled her silver hair on her finger with a smile. "Young Master Ye, do you like me... hehehe..."
?
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her. "Are you drunk?"
"Not much. Young Master Ye, why don't you marry me too?"
Xiao Tian immediately started to cheer. "Yes, yes!! Anping! Good things come in pairs, double happiness!!"
?
Double happiness, how is this double happiness?
Ye Anping felt that Feng Yu Die was either drunk and talking nonsense, or she simply gave up when she saw that he and his sister were going to get married.
Glancing at Yun Jiujiu, who was gulping down a jar of wine but keeping her eyes on them, Ye Anping sighed and rolled his eyes at Feng Yu Die. "I'm getting married to my sister tomorrow. These ten roasted chickens are specially prepared for you. If they're not enough, you can ask me for more."
"Okay!"
Feng Yu Die reached out to the roasted chickens, but when she was about to grab it, Ye Anping held her hand and stopped her. "But! There is a condition."
"Um... what?"
"Don't cause trouble for me at the wedding ceremony tomorrow," Ye Anping said very seriously with a frown. "Marriage only happens once in a lifetime. My sister has been looking forward to it for a long time, and now there are thousands of guests at the Hundred Lotus Sect. I won't allow anyone to mess up tomorrow's ceremony."
Seeing how serious Ye Anping was, Feng Yu Die cowered. "I won't cause trouble. Master Ye, who do you think I am..."
"..."
Looking at Feng Yu Die's timid appearance, Ye Anping felt relieved for some reason. He thought that even if Feng Yu Die was impulsive, she would not do such a thing as snatching his bride in front of thousands of people...
The serious expression on Ye Anping's face gradually relaxed.
He released Feng Yu Die's hand, lowered his tone, and looked at Yun Jiujiu. "Second Miss Yun, Sister Feng is not you, don't let her drink so much."
"..."
Yun Jiujiu nodded silently.
"Sister Feng, you too, go to bed early."
"Oh..."
Feng Yu Die looked at the hand that Ye Anping had held and nodded blankly. When she came to her senses and looked at Ye Anping again, he had already left the room.
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips, rubbed her hands somewhat disappointed, and then looked at Yun Jiujiu who was holding a wine jar. "Jiujiu, what if Young Master Ye doesn't believe me?"
"You ask me?! I only know how to fight!"
Yun Jiujiu rolled her eyes at her, then slammed the wine jar on the table and wiped her mouth. "If it weren't for you, a no-bird who had always been thinking about another no-bird person, how could this guy Ye not believe you?"
"Then, what should I do..."
Yun Jiujiu thought for a while and said, "Well... hit first, and you have a 50% chance of winning! Why don't you knock him first?"
?
Confused, Feng Yu Die leaned forward and asked, "How do you knock someone?"
"Tsk... dual cultivation!" Yun Jiujiu turned away as she blushed with shame. "First, cook the rice, then stir-fry the dish, is it different?"
Feng Yu Die blinked. She recalled something, then took out the three books that Xiao Yunluo gave her when she was in the Northern Region from her storage bag.
The covers of the three books read: "Feminine Secrets Sutra", "Jade Room Book", "Immortal Palace Atlas_Hardcover Painted Edition."
"...This kind of dual cultivation?"
"Hiss-- cough cough cough..." Yun Jiujiu looked at the covers of the three books and suddenly choked and blushed to her ears. After coughing for a long time, she asked in disbelief, "Where did you get these books?"
"Sister Xiao gave them to me a while ago. I took a look and put them in my storage bag."
"Hiss-- Xiao Yunluo gave them to you? She is the Young Miss of the Black Star Sect, and she has such books?!! I heard that she is very pure and innocent, right?"
"Anyway, she gave them to me, so is this dual cultivation?"
Yun Jiujiu suppressed the urge to open the book, turned away, and nodded with a blushing face. "Yeah, this is dual cultivation..."
"..."
After this, the room fell silent.
"..."
"..."
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound.
Feng Yu Die slowly opened the cover of the "Immortal Palace Atlas" and looked at the two little figures carefully drawn on it. She silently put herself and Ye Anping into the images.
The ears under the silver locks began to turn a visible red.
She didn't think it was a big deal before, but once she put herself into the picture, it was completely different!
"..."
Xiao Tian, who had been floating above their heads the entire time, was so shocked by Yun Jiujiu and Yu Die that she couldn't utter a word. At this moment, she finally understood the logic of their conversation.
Just now, when she heard Yu Die asking Ye Anping to marry her, she actually had the same idea as Ye Anping-- either her Yu Die was drunk, or she was so upset that she just gave up...
But now, it seemed that...
Her Yu Die had finally completely understood!!
Although she didn't know how it happened, she had indeed gained complete enlightenment! It was different from when she was in the Bright Star Sect, when she was half-aware and half-enlightened. She had completely comprehended now!
"Yu Die..."
Just when Xiao Tian spoke, Feng Yu Die slowly raised her head and asked in a low voice.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Young Master Ye doesn't even like me, how can I practice dual cultivation with him..."
Yun Jiujiu took her eyes off the book and asked back with a frown, "If he really didn't like you, would he break the 'chicken taboo' to send you roasted chicken? Didn't he save you so many times before..."
Feng Yu Die nodded. "...That's right."
"Besides, I just have to ask you, do you want to marry him?"
"Yes."
"Then, that's it! Knock him off! Cook the rice first and then stir the dishes!! I also want to knock someone off but I can't find anyone, damn it..."
When Yun Jiujiu said this, she suddenly remembered that she touched "Feng Yu" that day, and the anger in her heart surged.
"Fuck... ah!!!"
After cursing, Yun Jiujiu picked up the wine jar angrily and walked toward the door, stomping on the wooden floor.
"Ah? Jiujiu, where are you going?"
"To cool off!"
Bang---
Yun Jiujiu slammed the door shut and left the room.
The room was quiet again, and Xiao Tian finally found a chance to speak. She approached Feng Yu Die. "Yu Die, do you want to practice dual cultivation with Anping?"
Feng Yu Die glanced at her, then lay on the table like a deflated ball and reached out to poke the roasted chicken's butt next to her. "I guess so."
Xiao Tian's eyes lit up immediately. "I'll help you! You'll go tomorrow!!"
"Young Master Ye and Sister Pei will be getting married tomorrow. Didn't you hear what he said just now? Don't cause trouble, he will be angry."
"Hmm..." Xiao Tian felt that it was indeed not good. She held her chin and thought, then nodded. "Indeed, it is not good in front of so many people, but... Anping said it himself!! He would rather you come to take the bride secretly than in front of so many people..."
"So what?"
"You can steal the wedding night! Miss Pei has tasted it anyway, so ask her to give her place to you."
Feng Yu Die looked at Xiao Tian like she was a fool, thinking she was talking nonsense. How could she steal the wedding night?
If it was Sister Xiao, she could tie her up...
But, tie up Sister Pei? It would be good if she didn't end up hung from the highest branch by Sister Pei...
"Well, there's no hurry."
How is there no hurry!! I am in a hurry!!! ...Xiao Tian opened her eyes wide, rubbing her temple with her index finger. She floated cross-legged in the air, thought for a while, and suddenly a lightbulb appeared on her head. "I have a way!!"
"Oh?"
"Yep... Let's go!! Let's go to the Hundred Lotus Sect market to prepare." Xiao Tian grabbed Feng Yu Die's sleeve and pulled her arm. "Let's go... Trust me! I can't help you with other things, but I'll definitely help you with this!"
Feng Yu Die looked at her doubtfully and thought it was okay to trust Xiao Tian for once. She stood up, put the roasted chickens that Ye Anping gave her into the storage bag, and asked, "Why are we going to the market?"
"To buy clothes! We'll exchange Yu Die for Lianxue! Hehe..."
"? Exchange?!"
Xiao Tian smiled with her hands akimbo, raised her head confidently, and bent her arm to show her biceps.
"Count on this!"
