Chapter 45: Open-Minded Sister Bai

Ye Anping couldn't figure it out.

He did Bai Yuexin's "mission" solely for the 20% discount coupon.

Logically speaking, if Bai Yuexin came out of her depression, the task should have been completed, but why didn't the "coupon" come, and instead she became dependent on him?

Could it be that the rewards for quests in the game, set by the game producer, were not the same in the real world?

Ye Anping was a little helpless: if there was no 20% discount coupon, the amount of items and herbs he would buy later would be reduced by a fifth.

Standing at the window, he looked through a gap in the paper at Bai Yuexin who was busy cleaning the yard, and sighed. He then returned to his bed, adjusted his breathing, and began to meditate, refining the excess yang energy into spiritual energy and then expelling it from his body.

In the game, ***Yang River*** Sect's meditation method, paired with the *Nine Elements of Heart* secret technique and the *Interrogation Sword* technique, was one of the best solutions calculated by those experts in strategy.

The combination was accessible, and the cultivation progress was fast. It was easy for players to develop considerable combat power in the early stages, and it was also easy to switch to other methods in the mid-to-late stages. They didn't need decades of work if they limited the cultivation to a small scope.

That was why Ye Anping had initially chosen this combination for himself.

But now it seemed he had made the wrong choice.

This combination of techniques had side effects that were not in the game.

But Ye Anping could understand why the game didn't have this side effect.

"*Heavenly Sword Fantasy*" was a game fit for all ages.

And this side effect required a "debuff" only found in R18 games.

In terms of body sensation, Ye Anping didn't think it was a big problem. He could solve the accumulation of yang energy by adjusting his breathing and condensing it, but this was probably because his current cultivation base was still low.

Thinking of this, Ye Anping couldn't help but feel annoyed. Did this mean he had to find a cultivation partner now?

But Miss Xiyue was in the **Cold Sky Country** now. **Cold Sky Country** was a mid-to-late stage map, won't he court death by going there?!

Was there no other way but to make use of a woman?

There were also other things with extreme yin energy...

How about a spirit cat or a spirit fox or something? But spirit pets were ridiculously expensive, he couldn't afford to keep them even if he bought them...

Or could he go to a graveyard to find some female ghosts and chat with them? But if he was cursed or possessed, it would be more troublesome...

In the end, all he could think of was his sister. His sister's single water extreme spirit root was, in other words, an "extreme yin body".

As long as he hugged his sister to sleep every day, all the yang energy would be neutralized by her physique.

But...

"I don't know if sister is willing to be hugged by me to sleep every day... Never mind, there is no hurry anyway. I'll think about it once I reach the *Foundation Building* stage."

Ye Anping put this matter aside for the time being and returned to the ***Seven Slayers*** Sect affair.

It was time to meet with Feng Yu Die and discuss this with her.

"Hmm..."

After thinking for a while, Ye Anping got off the bed, changed his clothes, and opened the door, intending to ask Bai Yuexin to help him send a message to Feng Yu Die to come over.

Bai Yuexin was sweeping the floor right now, and when she saw Ye Anping coming out, she rushed toward him.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want me to take you to the clinic to see a doctor?"

"No... I adjusted my breathing for a while and relaxed a lot."

"Oh..." Bai Yuexin nodded and pulled him to the main hall, saying, "By the way, I made some porridge for you, try it..."

Ye Anping was pulled to the table by her, and seeing the bowl of colorful rice porridge that was still bubbling like magma, he frowned slightly and looked sideways at Bai Yuexin.

"Sister Bai..."

"Huh?"

"Does this porridge look edible to you?"

"Err..." Bai Yuexin pursed her lips in embarrassment and said with a smile, "Well, it's the first time I made porridge. I thought you were quite sick, so I put a lot of medicinal herbs in it. I didn't expect it to be this color, but I tasted it, and it's not bad."

"..."

Ye Anping was a little speechless. Hearing that medicinal herbs were put in, in line with the spirit of thrift, he picked up a spoon and tasted it.

"How is it?" Bai Yuexin sat beside her, looking at him expectantly.

"Hmm... barely edible."

"Hehe..." Bai Yuexin giggled and unconsciously reached out to touch Ye Anping's head. "That's good, there's more in the pot if it's not enough."

Ye Anping hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "Sister Bai, although this is not very polite, I'll still say it directly. I already have someone I like...So, if you want me to be your cultivation partner, please give up..."

Bai Yuexin smiled awkwardly and tried to knock Ye Anping on the head, but he turned his head away.

She paused and said, "What does your little brain think about all day? So conceited."

"What?"

"I just thought you were a lot like my younger brother, so I wanted to take care of you. Besides, how old are you? I have already lived for almost forty-five years. How could I like a little bean like you?"

"That's it?"

*Maybe it's not that simple*... Bai Yuexin thought to herself and then said, "Anyway, I'm willing to take care of you, so just accept it, I don't want you to give me anything. What, are you afraid I'll blackmail you?"

"Well, yeah, I'm afraid."

"..."

Ye Anping took a mouthful of the porridge and asked, "I heard you talking earlier to that senior about ***Seven Slayers*** Sect. What happened in the ***Black Star*** these days?"

"Well... you can't tell anyone. I'm only telling you because I trust you." Bai Yuexin leaned into Ye Anping's ear and whispered. "Apparently, yesterday, people from the ***Seven Slayers*** Sect attacked some disciples. Elder Lei was very angry about this. He summoned all the elders and they decided to exterminate the ***Seven Slayers*** entirely."

With Bai Yuexin's confirmation, Ye Anping was completely relieved. He shrugged and replied, "Well, it has nothing to do with me."

"It doesn't matter. You have to be careful these days. What if there are still people from the ***Seven Slayers*** Sect hiding in the marketplace? Those are all bad people who would do anything for money! Those villains specialize in catching children!"

"Sister Bai, you don't have to talk to me like I'm a child."

"Okay, okay, obviously you're not very old, this old-fashioned look is not cute at all. Shouldn't a kid your age pounce on an elder sister like me and act cute?

Bai Yuexin looked at him and sighed, but then smiled and opened her arms.

"Come here... Sister's arms are always open for you. If it's too dark at night and you can't sleep, tell Sister, and Sister will accompany you."

Speechlessly, Ye Anping took another mouthful of porridge and asked tentatively, "Can Sister do me a favor?"

"Oh? Tell me! What favor?"

"Could you take a message from me to a disciple of the ***Black Star*** Sect?"

"What message?"

"I'm inviting her to dinner. I hope she'll come to see me one of these days when she's free."

"Um..."

Bai Yuexin pondered for a while and suddenly remembered that Ye Anping had said earlier that he had someone he liked.

Could it be that the person he liked was that particular ***Black Star*** Sect disciple?

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, in the end she agreed. Anyway, Ye Anping said that he was treating her to dinner, which meant they hadn't developed a relationship yet...

Bai Yuexin nodded and asked curiously, "So, who is it?"

"Feng Yu Die."

Hearing this name, the smile on Bai Yuexin's face froze instantly.

"... You know each other?"

"Well, we don't know each other. I just want to meet her and expand the business of my physiotherapy center."

"The business?"

Ye Anping nodded and said, "Yes, I want to ask her to help me promote my physiotherapy center. *'The *Qi Refining* disciple who won the sword test against the *Foundation-Building* stage instructor tried it and said it was good!'* Or something like that?"

Bai Yuexin frowned and reprimanded. ''You little villain! Are you trying to get your big sister angry? Do you believe that I will spank your ass?!"

"Don't worry, I'll help you teach her a lesson then."

"Alright, I'll talk to her for you. But don't use this as publicity, or I'll skin you alive!"

"I was just joking. Sister Bai, don't be so narrow-minded."

Bai Yuexin looked at him with resentment, but then let out a sigh. "If you lose, you lose. I thought about it for a long time. I don't want to compare with her, hmph~"
