Chapter 311: Old Loli's Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal
The *Long Jade Street* in the *Western District* was the busiest section of **Heavenly Gate City**, and most of the mile-long street was filled with luxury shops selling jewelry and small artifacts, as well as restaurants and teahouses used for entertainment. Therefore, many rogue cultivator couples who came to visit the city also came here for dates and strolls.
Ye Anping held his umbrella and walked beside Si Xuanji, accompanying her as she wandered aimlessly on the streets.
To outsiders, they looked like a young cultivator couple who had traveled from afar, the man gentle and handsome, the woman smart and adorable; a perfect match.
The two of them stopped in front of a stall selling hairpins, and after sweeping a glance, Si Xuanji picked a hairpin and placed it on the black and white bun on her head. "Master Ye, how is it? Does it look good?"
"...It's nice."
Si Xuanji pouted as she put the hairpin back in place and complained. "So perfunctory."
Helpless, Ye Anping had no choice but to coax her. He glanced at the hairpins on the stall, took out another one, stepped forward, and inserted it into Si Xuanji's bun. Looking at it, he said, "I think this hairpin suits you better. There is a yin and yang fish engraved on it, which complements your yin and yang eyes."
"That's more like it."
Si Xuanji fiddled with the hairpin that Ye Anping put on her bun but did not buy it. She put it back in its place and moved on.
Ye Anping sighed slightly and asked the stall owner for the price. Hearing it was not expensive, he simply bought it, then caught up with Si Xuanji and inserted the hairpin back into her bun.
"Eh?"
"When you go shopping with a girl, how can you not buy her some gifts?"
Si Xuanji fiddled with the hairpin in her bun and smiled wickedly. "Master Ye, did you give me the hairpin because you wanted to woo this little girl?"
Ye Anping hurriedly smiled and replied, "It's just a thank-you gift. Miss Xuanji, you helped me a lot by lending me the *Illusory Pendant*. Without it, the consequences would have been disastrous back in the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect."
Si Xuanji cocked her head. "Is this the truth?"
"Of course it's the truth. It's just a thank-you gift."
"Huh... I thought you were attracted to me. In that case, wouldn't I involuntarily steal my sister's man? When she finds out, she will definitely hate me as her younger sister."
*If you know, why are you still asking me to accompany you shopping like this, eh?*
Ye Anping was speechless, but if Si Xuanji wanted him to go shopping with her, he could only comply. He had no choice but to follow her; otherwise, she would feel aggrieved, and then it wouldn't end well for him.
But then again.
Why did Si Xuanji act like this every time she approached him?
He remembered that the last time this old woman came over, she even made a special effort to pad her breasts.
In the game, although she pretended to be a simple ***Black Star*** Sect disciple to approach Feng Yu Die, her purpose was just to entrust Xiao Yunluo to her. She did not have any designs on Feng Yu Die.
But now...
Ye Anping thought about it for a while before finally asking, "Miss Xuanji, when we first met, you told me that I could ask you to help me relieve my yang energy..."
"Hmm?"
Si Xuanji's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned around, facing Ye Anping. "So, you want me to help you relieve your yang energy now?"
"No..." Ye Anping paused for a moment, then continued, "I am just a bit puzzled that when we first met, you actually proposed to me such a thing. And if I understand correctly, the so-called matter of dispelling yang energy refers to dual cultivation, right?"
Si Xuanji nodded. After a moment of silence, she asked, "So... you're wondering why I would be willing to go to that extent for you, even disregarding my own innocence?"
"Well..."
"Master Ye, due to my cultivation method, I cannot give birth to an heir, and it is naturally impossible for me to marry and form a cultivation couple in the future. Since I am a woman who will be celibate forever, what is the value of so-called innocence? It would be better to use this innocence to help people like you."
Although Ye Anping already knew this, he quickly showed a surprised look. "You can't give birth to an heir?"
"That's right." Si Xuanji nodded, her yin and yang eyes showing some helplessness, but she still pursed her lips and smiled. "Young Master Ye, you are a person who defies destiny, just think of it as owing me a favor. I just hope that when I'm in trouble in the future, you won't forget about me, that's all."
"..."
"Is this reason acceptable to you, Master Ye?"
Ye Anping hesitated, then nodded and replied, "Miss Xuanji, there is no need to make me owe you a favor deliberately. If you have any difficulties, please ask directly. If I can help you, of course, I will not refuse."
"Is that so?" Si Xuanji slightly shook her head. "It's not that I don't believe in you, but you're not a naive person, and you should know that a promise can become irrelevant, considering a cultivator's age scale."
Ye Anping smiled wryly. "Miss Xuanji, you're a bit too pessimistic."
"It's fine if I am a bit pessimistic. It's not surprising for a girl to be more sentimental."
Si Xuanji narrowed her eyes, smiling. She thought for a while, then simply put her arm on Ye Anping's shoulders, tilted her head, and asked, "By the way, what is it between you and my sister? Did you show my sister the Yin-Yang jade pendant that I gave you when we first met three years ago?"
"...Not yet."
"Huh? So Young Master Ye doesn't like my sister?" Si Xuanji hesitated for a while, then helpfully said, "Although my sister is usually a bit childish, she is simple and kind at heart, and her family background is also very good. Among the young heirs of various sects in the Immortal Family, she is a nice girl. I don't know why you dislike her."
Ye Anping was silent for a moment, then found an excuse. "It's not that I don't like her. Of course, Sister Xiao is a very good girl, but I'm only in the middle stage of the *Foundation Building*, and I'm still young. It's not the time to think about marriage yet."
"But do you like her?"
"Miss Xuanji, the world is not black and white like that, is it?"
Si Xuanji smiled wickedly. "Then, do you like me, or do you like my sister more?"
"..."
"Just kidding. I know this question is troublesome for you."
Ye Anping exhaled lightly. "Phew--"
Si Xuanji shrugged. She then took out a painting from the storage bag and handed it to Ye Anping. "My sister and I came to the ***Imperial*** Sect for this thing. I hope you can also help us look for it."
Finally, the topic became serious. Breathing a sigh of relief, Ye Anping lowered his head to look at the painting and saw there was the *Nine Dragons Jade Seal* drawn on it. The famous work '*Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal*' was an ancient artifact related to Xiao Yunluo's life.
Si Xuanji had been searching for this item for a hundred years, and in the game, it was for this jade seal that she lured Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo to the **Central Region** ***Imperial*** Sect.
However, Si Xuanji in the game did not tell Feng Yu Die that she was looking for this thing as straightforwardly as she did now.
After a short hesitation, Ye Anping asked, "Miss Xuanji, is this a jade seal?"
"Well, this is an ancient treasure known as the '*Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal*'. I only know that this object should be in the **Heavenly Gate City**, but I don't know exactly where it is."
"Since even you don't know where this item is, how am I supposed to look for it?"
"I heard that the '*Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal*' is attracted by destiny, and since you have the ability to go against Heaven's destiny, maybe this object will attract you to it?"
"I see..."
