During the conversation, Feng Yu Die quickly gnawed her roasted chicken until only a plate of chicken bones remained. Ye Anping didn't move his chopsticks much during the whole process. He just ate a few peanuts and drank two or three cups of tea.
"If you have finished, let's go!"
Feng Yu Die patted her full belly and, with a big smile, she waited for Ye Anping to settle the bill.
Ye Anping said nothing. He called the waiter in the room and took out a dozen spirit stones from the storage bag.
However, as the waiter was ready to bow and reach out to receive the spirit stones, Ye Anping's movements suddenly froze.
"Young Immortal Master, thank you..."
"..."
Bang---
Under the waiter's stupefied look, Ye Anping who had just stood up, frowned suddenly. He bent his knees and knelt on one knee on the ground, then hit his elbow heavily on the table next to him.
He gritted his teeth hard and grabbed the edge of the table to prevent himself from hitting the ground directly.
"Ah? Young Master? What happened to you?"
The waiter was startled and subconsciously wanted to help him, but seeing that Ye Anping's face was so pale, he was afraid of taking responsibility. So in the end, he did not dare to step forward.
Across the table, Feng Yu Die was also startled. He was fine just now, how did he suddenly become like this?
"Hey, what's wrong?!"
After being stunned momentarily, Feng Yu Die jumped over the table and came to Ye Anping's side, helping him back to his seat. Then, she took hold of his right hand, pushed up his sleeve, and placed her finger on his wrist.
"The left ulnar pulse is thick and rolling... what kind of pulse is this?!"
Feng Yu Die diagnosed that Ye Anping's pulse was extremely disordered, but she didn't know much about medicine, so she glanced at Xiao Tian, who was floating next to her.
Without saying a word, Xiao Tian took out the *Heavenly Dao Scroll* and quickly flipped through it.
"*Yu Die, this is the double Yang sign. Yang fire attacks the heart, which is life-threatening. This is usually what happens when a man overdoes it*."
When she saw the solution written in the *Heavenly Dao Scroll*, Xiao Tian's frowning brows suddenly shot upwards.
Snap--
She closed the scroll with one hand, looked at Feng Yu Die, and shouted, ''*Yu Die! Kiss him!!!*''
"Kiss..." Feng Yu Die belatedly reacted. "... Huh?!!!"
"*Yes, kiss! Mouth to mouth!!!*"
"Kiss... kiss, kiss, kiss..."
Feng Yu Die looked at the pale-faced Ye Anping, then looked around, and finally saw the frightened waiter. Then, she said, "You come over and kiss him! Mouth to mouth!!"
??
The waiter looked dumbfounded, and so did Xiao Tian.
Even Ye Anping, who was very uncomfortable now, raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and looked at her, questioning with his eyes, '*Are you that stupid?*'
Xiao Tian added: "*Yu Die! It only works with a female cultivator!*"
"Ah? I... where do I find one?"
"*Aren't you one?!*"
"I... I..." Feng Yu Die stuttered, looking blankly at Xiao Tian, and asked, "Am I?"
"*You*..."
Xiao Tian froze in mid-air, speechless.
Feeling that he couldn't hold it any longer, Ye Anping didn't care so much. He grabbed Feng Yu Die's right hand, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
At a complete loss, Feng Yu Die straightened her neck. "Eh?!"
"Expand your true energy!"
"..."
Xiao Tian also urged, "*Do as he says!*"
After Xiao Tian's reminder, Feng Yu Die pursed her lips before taking a deep breath through her nose. She relaxed her body, mobilized her true energy, and slowly released it from her dantian.
Ye Anping also mobilized his own spiritual power to guide Feng Yu Die's true energy into his body through various meridians, and at the same time, he immersed his spiritual sense inside his body.
Ye Anping now realized that his own cultivation level had increased again, but this time, it was not much. At best, a level after he had meditated and concentrated for three to four months.
Thinking about it, it should have been caused by the demonic cultivator named Yao Yuanhua.
This was already the third time, and Ye Anping had almost figured out a pattern.
Yao Yuanhua's original fate was to die at the hands of Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo.
Now that he had killed Yao Yuanhua in her place, the opportunity and luck came to him, and he took some luck from Feng Yu Die again.
"Hoo--"
After a while, Ye Anping felt the yang energy in his body calm down, so he relaxed and loosened his hands around Feng Yu Die's waist.
He opened his eyes and looked at Feng Yu Die, who was now embarrassed and wanted to push him away but seemed to not dare to touch him. He was startled for a moment and then frowned as he caught a whiff of her fragrance.
Different from his sister, she had a faint fragrance of the lily of the valley.
And the width of the shoulders, the feeling of the hug...
Ye Anping didn't know why, but now he was sighing in his heart: *Feng Yu Die was actually a girl too.*
"..."
Feng Yu Die saw Ye Anping staring at her face, slowly turned her eyes to the side, and asked with a flat voice, "Are you done? How long are you going to hold me?"
Xiao Tian, who was hovering next to them, burst out laughing upon hearing her question. Then, she pretended to be serious and said solemnly, "*Yu Die, to be on the safe side, you'd better let him hold you for a while longer.*"
"Hoo..."
Ye Anping exhaled expressionlessly and quickly released her.
Xiao Tian advised Ye Anping again. "*Hey! Ye kid, why don't you hug her a little longer?*"
Ye Anping ignored her and said to Feng Yu Die, "I owe you a favor."
Feng Yu Die stood up and took two steps back, pulling back the left shoulder of her robe that had been a little messed up by Ye Anping. She tidied up her clothes again and, with a gesture, she picked up the dozen spirit stones that Ye Anping had dropped on the ground, sending them to the waiter.
"You can go now."
Seeing that everything was alright, the waiter took the spirit stones from Feng Yu Die, bowed, and ran out.
After he left, Feng Yu Die looked at Ye Anping again and frowned. "Are you practicing some strange technique?"
Ye Anping picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "It's just that the two techniques of cultivation are in conflict with each other, and the yang energy accumulates a bit fast."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian circled around Ye Anping twice and said, "*Hey, kid, you can't do this. Why don't you give up those techniques and start practicing again? Sooner or later something will happen*."
Ye Anping did not answer. He knew that discarding the technique and practicing again was the fundamental solution. But if he did that in the *Foundation Building* period, his cultivation level would drop back to the first or second level of *Qi Refining*. It would be too costly to start the practice again.
He planned to discard his energy and rebuild it after the *Core Formation*. Then, even if he wasted his energy, he would not lose his cultivation level. At most, he would not be able to use his spiritual power until he accumulated the new energy.
After hearing what Xiao Tian said, Feng Yu Die looked at Ye Anping and asked him, "You know what's going on, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, I won't say more."
Feng Yu Die poured herself a cup of tea and sat back across the table, looking at Ye Anping. She thought for a while, then suddenly raised three fingers to him. "You owe me this much!"
Ye Anping raised his eyebrows. "Three roasted chickens?"
"You wish!" Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes at him. "Thirty thousand spirit stones!!"
"A bit expensive."
"That's how it is! I saved your life, and you saved my life before, so now we are completely even!" Feng Yu Die said and stood up with her hands on her hips. "If we hadn't known each other, just now when you hugged me, I would have kicked you out the window. You were the first stinky man to hug me!"
Ye Anping figured that he could ask his sister to go and retrieve the money anyway, so he nodded in agreement. "Okay, thirty thousand spirit stones it is. I'll give it to you in a few days."
"Huh? You agreed so fast?" Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows and sat back down with a smile on her face. "How about twenty thousand more?"
Ye Anping glared at her. "I can give you a discount of twenty thousand."
"Okay, okay! One price, thirty thousand is thirty thousand... hehe."
Feng Yu Die thought for a while. If one month of true energy was exchanged for thirty thousand spirit stones, wouldn't that be quite profitable?
Being a heavenly spiritual root cultivator, she could use some methods to quickly accumulate true energy. She just needed to find some spiritual places to condense the energy for a period of time.
As she was thinking of this, she touched her chin and glanced at Ye Anping before finally rejecting the idea of making money. She could not help sighing in her heart: if only Ye Anping were a girl...
"Are you feeling better now?"
Ye Anping took a deep breath and scanned his own meridians. The yang energy was only temporarily suppressed by Feng Yu Die's true energy. He would still have to find his sister soon...
"Yes, I just need to go back and recuperate."
"That's good." Feng Yu Die suddenly smiled again. "Young Master Ye, now do you think I'm qualified?"
"Qualified for what?"
"To be with Sister Pei? I'm pretty reliable, didn't you see?" Feng Yu Die tried her best to give Ye Anping a hint with a wink. "I will definitely take good care of Sister Pei in the future. How about I call you big brother from now on?"
"?"
"Brother-in-law is fine too, I don't mind."
Ye Anping looked distant. "No way."
Feng Yu Die propped up her cheeks, picked up her teacup, and waved her hand. "Hey-- Young Master Ye, what do I have to do for you to let me be with Sister Pei? I am really sincere to her."
"When you stop liking girls, I'll let you stay with my sister."
"..."
At this time, Xiao Tian slipped up to Ye Anping's ear and asked with a wicked smile, "*Hey kid, how does it feel to hold Yu Die? Is she soft? Isn't she delicate? Does she smell good? Do you want to hug her more?*"
"..."
"*If you still want to hug her, tell me, and I'll help you. If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes*."
"..."
Ye Anping ignored Xiao Tian, lowered his eyes, and began to reflect. The situation just now was like a deliberate prank of the Heavens, and it came so suddenly.
Si Xuanji said that his and Feng Yu Die's fates were tied. Maybe their meeting was the reason why his 'golden finger' suddenly settled the reward.
It seemed that if he did anything related to Feng Yu Die in the future, it would be better for him not to be separated from his sister for too much time.
Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose and stood up. "I'm going back."
