They arrived at the room where Feng Yudie was staying.

As they entered, Ye Anping was immediately dumbfounded.

Feng Yudie is now dressed in a black-patterned silk robe. She was originally good-looking, and this silk robe, along with her hair tied up in a phoenix bun and her silver hair, is simply ethereal.

But the shock isn’t because she’s beautiful, it’s…

He glanced at the black-patterned sleeves that Xiao Die had asked him to wear earlier.

Both the embroidery and the color, whether it’s the patterns or the colors, matched Feng Yudie’s outfit perfectly, almost like “couple’s attire.” Moreover, Xiao Die managed to find a golden tassel with jades hanging from it and attached it to his belt. Feng Yudie also had one hanging from her waist now.

“… …”

Ye Anping fell silent, looking somewhat speechless as he glanced at his mother, Kong Yulan, who was in the room. He wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start.

Kong Yulan noticed him looking over and immediately blinked at him, a happy expression on her face, as if saying, “Dear, I know you like this girl. I specially prepared clothes for you and Feng Yudie.”

“Mother, I really appreciate it.”

At this moment, Feng Yudie also noticed his attire and stared at Kong Yulan’s handpicked outfit on him. Dark lines appeared on her forehead.

She gave Ye Anping a questioning look with her eyes, asking, “What’s going on?”

Ye Anping shook his head slightly, sighed, and answered with his expression and gaze, “It’s not my business.”

Xiaotian was currently enjoying this, floating in the air and stifling a laugh while covering it mouth: 『Yudie, you and that kid Ye are a perfect match now.』

Afterward, there was a round of greetings. Elder Wang inquired about Feng Yudie’s knowledge of True Immortal Tai Xu, verified the authenticity of the letter and token she carried, and then discussed matters regarding demon cultivators in Martial Creek Town.

While Feng Yudie was speaking, Kong Yulan quietly walked over to Ye Anping’s side and sought praise for herself, “Anping, how is it? Doesn’t Miss Feng look beautiful today? These clothes were specially prepared by me for you and Miss Feng yesterday.”

“Mother…”

Ye Anping wanted to say that she was going overboard, but he felt that if he did, his mother would cry pitifully on the spot.

Kong Yulan had a soft spot for children, and because she only had one son, she doted on him excessively, giving off a somewhat overbearing and motherly vibe.

To this day, Ye Anping still remembered that when he was three years old, he accidentally tripped over an old brick and injured his knee.

After learning about it, his mother immediately brought him to the place where he tripped, scolded the brick, and then used magic to blast the brick into pieces. She even replaced all the tiles in that area.

It could be described as a somewhat unhealthy level of doting.

Ye Anping thought for a moment. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he simply nodded and said, “Thank you, mother. I… really like it.”

“It’s good that you like it. Why don’t you take someone to the Sect’s Flowery Sea later? I asked Miss Feng earlier, and she also has a favorable impression of you. I inquired beforehand, and the Profound Star Sect allows disciples to bring companions inside. You can have Miss Feng take you there, and you two can stay together as a couple.”

“Ah…”

“Or, why don’t you two exchange vows today and come back in a few years? I can organize a big wedding feast for you.”

“I…”

Fortunately, Ye Ao and Elder Wang also brought up the matter of the demonic cultivator, diverting her attention.

“Anping, come and talk about the matter with the demonic cultivator.”

“Ah, Mother, I have a plan for this matter. Please don’t trouble yourself.”

“Are you looking down on your mother?”

“No, no, I’m not looking down on you.”

Ye Anping quickly stepped away and walked up to Elder Wang, taking out the useless magical items and identity tokens from his storage pouch.

“Elder Wang, these are the items from that demonic cultivator.”

Elder Wang glanced at them, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, “Young Master Ye, your father told me earlier that when you and your junior sister encountered the demonic cultivator, he was seriously injured. However, it’s not something a Qi Refining cultivator could kill, given that he was at the Core Formation stage. Could you please tell me in detail how you and your junior sister managed to kill him?”

“My junior sister and I were practicing formations in the woods at the time. The demonic cultivator happened to pass by and seemed to want to use our blood for healing. So, I used a formation to trap him.”

“What kind of formation could trap a Core Formation cultivator?”

“A formation from the Kingdom of Frigid Heaven. I don’t know its name, but I came across it by chance.”

Ye Ao was left scratching his head—those cultivation techniques were one thing, you could buy most of them at the market for some spirit stones, but this formation sounds like it’s from the Kingdom of Frigid Heaven. Where did this kid learn it from?

Elder Wang nodded, seemingly convinced. He patted Ye Anping on the shoulder and said, “Killing a demonic cultivator is worthy of a reward from the Profound Star Sect. Furthermore, he was a Grandmaster from the Poison Gu Sect. If you have the time later, you can take this identity token to Profound Star Sect. You should be able to obtain some valuable items.”

“Thank you, Elder Wang.”

“Alright.” Elder Wang nodded, then turned to Feng Yudie. “I will inform the Sect Master about your situation when I return. The Sect’s selection will take place in two months. Please be sure to arrive on time. Although you have a letter of recommendation from True Immortal Tai Xu, being late could result in losing your qualification for entry. You would have to wait another five years.”

“Understood.”

“Well, then I won’t stay much longer. The appearance of Poison Gu Sect members in the immortal realm’s territory is a serious matter. I need to return to Profound Star Sect immediately to report to the Sect Master and the other elders.”

He bowed to Ye Ao and Kong Yulan, who was beside him, and quickly turned to leave, looking indeed quite urgent.

Ye Ao also hurriedly caught up, intending to see him off.

After he left, Ye Anping was also planning to go back to his room, but suddenly he saw Kong Yulan continuously using her eyes to hint at him: Anping! Quick! Invite Miss Feng for a walk!

He opened his mouth and sighed in the end, looking at Feng Yudie, and extended his hand:

“Miss Feng, do you have some free time now?”

Feng Yudie was taken aback for a moment, noticed Kong Yulan beside her, whose eyes were shining, and sighed just like Ye Anping did. She lightly placed her hand on his.

“I do.”

So, the two of them walked hand in hand from the Heavenly Pavilion, until they felt Kong Yulan’s gaze behind them disappear, then they released their hands.

Feng Yudie pursed her lips and said, “Young Master Ye, Lady Kong insisted that I wear this outfit just now. I’m in her care right now, so it’s not very good to refuse.”

“I can see that.” Ye Anping glanced at her with a wry smile and said helplessly, “Is my mother constantly praising me in front of you and asking you what you think of me?”

Feng Yudie nodded and then answered him with a sigh.

“Sigh…”

“Sigh…” Ye Anping sighed in response, then continued, “Rest assured, I have no intentions toward you, and I know you can’t possibly have any feelings for me either.”

“… …”

“In any case, let’s go sit in the Flowery Sea. You can head back directly. I’m pretty sure my mother will come asking me again if she sees you.”

Seeing Ye Anping’s helpless expression, Feng Yudie couldn’t help but laugh.

“Snort—”

“Why are you laughing?”

“I originally thought your parents would be the kind of… very traditional and rigid people. You gave me the impression of one of those stoic young masters from a prestigious family. But I never expected your mother to be so cute.”

As Ye Anping listened to Feng Yudie saying his mother was cute, he paused, suddenly feeling something was off. He immediately leaned in closer to her, his eyes widening in anger.

“Feng Yudie…”

“Huh?”

“Could it be that you want to fuck my mother besides wanting to fuck my junior sister?!”

“Fuck your younger sister? What does ‘Fuck’ mean?” Feng Yudie quickly backed away.

Upon hearing this question, Ye Anping hesitated for a moment and suddenly wasn’t angry anymore.

“Oh, right. You don’t even know how you were born.”

“Huh?” A series of question marks appeared above Feng Yudie’s head as she asked in response, “What do you mean I don’t know how I was born? Why wouldn’t I know? I was made by an immortal who sculpted me from clay and then sent me to my parents as a gift with a divine Crane.”

“Correct.” Ye Anping smiled, “You’re right. You were brought by a divine Crane to your parents as a gift.”

Atop Feng Yudie’s head, Xiaotian let out a sigh and looked at her, shaking it’s head with it;s tongue out.

『Tsk tsk tsk… sigh—』

“What’s wrong?” Feng Yudie, seeing Xiaotian’s expression, grew even more puzzled and asked Ye Anping, “What? Weren’t you brought by a divine Crane? Could it be that you were grown from the ground?”

Ye Anping was a bit speechless. “I wasn’t brought by a divine Crane, I turned into a ginseng fruit that fell from a tree.”

“A ginseng fruit?!” Feng Yudie was stunned. “What kind of tree grows ginseng fruit?”

“A ginseng tree.”

“Oh… Then what about Miss Pei? Did she also born from a ginseng fruit?”

“Yes, you’re right!”
