Chapter 154: Junior Sister, Reasoning Doesn't Work

In the room, there was silence for a long time.

Pei Lengxue’s bright orange eyes were full of anticipation, blinking from time to time, which made Ye Anping feel a bit at a loss.

He opened his mouth several times, finally gently pulling Junior Sister to sit at the edge of the bed, holding her small hand in his palm and squeezing it slightly to make sure he hadn’t misheard, confirming, “Junior Sister, do you want Atin?”

Pei Lengxue leaned against Ye Anping’s shoulder, deliberately pressing her body closer to his, nodding in agreement, “Mm…”

Ye Anping swallowed, seeming to deliberately avoid Junior Sister’s gaze, showing a hint of awkwardness, and answered in a roundabout way, “Junior Sister, Atin has always called you aunt, right? She–”

“No.” Pei Lengxue interrupted hastily, furrowing her brows slightly, lowering her head, and touching her own belly, feeling puzzled: They had been sharing the same bed for several months now, why hadn’t she gotten pregnant yet?

During this time, she had actually thought a lot about this issue. Maybe the method was wrong? Was it because they hadn’t kissed? Was it because they hadn’t formally married?

But after considering many reasons, she still couldn’t find the problem. Finally, she decided to ask Ye Anping.

—Her senior brother knew everything, he couldn’t possibly not know why she couldn’t get pregnant, right?

Pei Lengxue raised her head, meeting Ye Anping’s gaze, and said, “I want Senior Brother’s Atin. Mm~ Senior Brother and mine…”

“… …”

Seeing Pei Lengxue touching her belly, Ye Anping suddenly realized that his silly Junior Sister probably thought that by sleeping together in the same bed, she could get pregnant.

He had never thought about Junior Sister’s feelings before.

But after the night a few days ago, even he, as dense as he was, could understand that Junior Sister’s feelings towards him were no longer just “dependence”, “trust”, “tolerance”, “you raised me, I’ll accompany you to grow old”…

Junior Sister’s feelings for him were no longer simple.

Ye Anping used his finger to tuck Junior Sister’s hair behind her ear, looking at her charming eyes, feeling a sudden urge to laugh, and said, “Do you want a child?”

“Mm~”

Ye Anping gently tapped Junior Sister’s nose and explained, “Junior Sister, you’re still too young, not yet at the age to bear children.”

Pei Lengxue pouted, complaining and defending, “I’m not young anymore, I’ve already reached marriageable age.”

“That’s for ordinary people. Ordinary people like you should indeed get married and have children at your age, but cultivators are different from ordinary people.” Ye Anping raised his index finger and said solemnly, “Cultivators usually don’t have their first child until they are in their thirties or even hundreds of years old, like my parents, who had me when they were over three hundred years old.”

Pei Lengxue had nothing to say in response, pouted, and lowered her head.

Then, Ye Anping asked again, “And, Junior Sister, have you thought about it? After having a child, how will you raise it? You’re only at the Foundation Establishment stage, do you have enough strength and Spirit Stones to support a child? Can you provide it with a stable environment to grow up in?”

Pei Lengxue shook her head slightly, “No…”

“That’s right, so stop thinking about it now.” Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief, patted her head, “Anyway, Senior Brother doesn’t want to raise a child now, it’s already hard enough to raise you. Having another child would be exhausting.”

“… …”

Pei Lengxue’s eyes were full of disappointment, she grabbed Ye Anping’s hand and put it on her thigh, lowering her head to rub Ye Anping’s fingers.

She knew she was bad at reasoning, it was simply impossible to win over her senior brother in this matter.

But…

She just wanted a child from her senior brother.

She wanted it!! She wanted it!! She just wanted it!!

Pei Lengxue felt inexplicably irritable and suddenly grabbed her senior brother’s index finger, twisting it upwards, just like her senior brother used to do to her fingers when they were children.

“Hiss—”

Sensing something wrong, Ye Anping took a deep breath and quickly held her hand, saying, “Junior Sister, slow down!”

Pei Lengxue looked at him angrily, her cheeks puffed up like they were stuffed with meat buns.

“Wu—”

“Senior Brother didn’t refuse.” Ye Anping shrugged and hurriedly reassured her, “Senior Brother just said that having a child is something to consider very carefully. Junior Sister, haven’t you reached marriageable age as well? You should learn to think ahead like Senior Brother does, and consider the consequences.”

—Senior Brother is my brain!

—Anyway, what I think about would never be as detailed as what Senior Brother thinks.

Pei Lengxue fell silent for a moment, then exerted a little more force.

Snap—

It seemed his answer wasn’t satisfactory. Ye Anping looked at his broken finger, feeling inexplicably that Junior Sister seemed to be becoming more assertive, somewhat helplessly retracting his hand and resetting his finger.

“Junior Sister, Senior Brother promises you, in the future, Senior Brother will have a child with you.”

Pei Lengxue’s eyes lit up, and the puffiness on her face subsided a bit.

“Mm…”

“But there are conditions. The first condition is that you must cultivate well, so you can protect the child.”

“Is there more?”

“The second condition is that you must learn how to take care of a child. You can’t just spoil her. You don’t know anything now, how can you teach someone else?”

“Mm…” Pei Lengxue lowered her head in thought for a moment, “I’ll teach the child the same way Senior Brother taught me.”

… …

Ye Anping was momentarily stunned, imagining himself and his junior sister standing on the Hundred Lotus Sect martial arts platform under the winter’s cold snow.

—”Spread your legs, straighten your hands! Listen to your mother’s command, throw a right hook!”

… …

He didn’t know if the future child of his and Pei Lenxue would be considered as lucky or  not.

Before, he and Pei Lengxue had no choice but to train their hardest due to the fact that Wu Yue is about to raze the Hundred Lotus Sect to the ground, unlike that of their future child.

But it seemed fine too. With that kind of upbringing, they should be able to raise an exceptional child.

However, at this moment, Ye Anping suddenly realized that raising a child was also a blind spot in his knowledge.

There was no system for raising children in the games he played, and before his transmigration, he had never taken care of a child.

But if Junior Sister wanted a child, then he would find a way to have one with her, but definitely not now. At the very least, it should be after they reached the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage, and had a stable place to live.

“Mm…”

Ye Anping rested his chin on his hand, carefully considering.

When faced with a problem, one must seek solutions.

The only way to find solutions was through experimentation, constantly trying and reflecting, in order to find the optimal path to the answer.

Experiment… experimental subject…

Perfect, there was a child right beside him and his junior sister…

“Mm… Junior Sister, how about this…”

Pei Lengxue tilted her head, “Mm?”

“You can treat Atin as our future child and try to figure out the best way to raise a child through her. When we really have a child in the future, we won’t be at a loss, right?”

“… …”

Pei Lengxue thought about it and felt it made sense, nodding, “Mm, okay.”

“Phew.”

Ye Anping let out a breath, then stood up and walked to the wardrobe, taking out the uniform of the Xuanxing Sect, and then prepared to go bathe in the spiritual spring behind the Chi Dragon Mansion.

Seeing this, Pei Lengxue asked, “Senior Brother, are you going out?”

“Mm~ I’ll be back later, just going to soak in the spiritual spring in the mountains.”

“What about me?”

“You can’t go. The spiritual energy of that spring doesn’t match your spirit roots. If you soak in it, it will generate impure spiritual energy in your meridians, causing more harm than good.”

Pei Lengxue was stunned for a moment, then nodded her head, “Okay.”

Ye Anping put the uniform into his storage bag, then came over and kissed her on the cheek, “Take care of the house, Senior Brother is leaving.”

Pei Lengxue pursed her lips, nodding happily, “Mm~!”
