Warm sunshine poured in through the window, and the heat was scorching. Many servants in the *Jiang Mansion* had now brought cold water and dipped their feet in it to relieve the heat.
Ye Anping also felt that there was at least 30% more extreme flaming energy in the land today.
Although neither he nor Pei Lianxue would get sick from the heat entering the body due to their previous hard training, they would still feel irritable, especially with his original Yang energy.
After getting up in the morning, he felt restless.
So, in order to calm his mind, Ye Anping found something to focus on.---Help his sister trim her nails.
Now, he was sitting on the wide sofa in the main hall with Pei Lianxue's two jade feet resting on his thighs, holding a giant file used for carpentry and gently rubbing the toenails on her right foot.
Cha---cha---
"Whew..."
Although this was not quite in line with his image, Ye Anping was sighing, marveling that the slender feet of his sister were really looking better and better. They were as white as snow, the toes were like tender lotus root buds, and there were no calluses, feeling very smooth to the touch.
Besides, with his sister's extreme yin energy, her body temperature was much lower than that of ordinary people. In such a hot summer, holding her small feet was like having two ice gems in his hands.
Seeing that her nails were done, Ye Anping put down the carpentry file in his hand and lightly scratched the soles of her feet with his index finger.!
Because the force was really light, Pei Lianxue, who was leaning on the couch and reading a book, suddenly jerked up and raised her eyes to look at him.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Anping smiled wickedly and asked her, "Does it tickle?"
"Yeah." Pei Lianxue didn't know why he did this, so she nodded in confusion. "It tickles."
Ye Anping raised his eyebrows, and without saying a word, he grabbed her right ankle and tickled the center of her sole.
"Woo!! Wuwuwuwu~~~"
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and then twisted her body. After a while, she couldn't bear it any longer and directly lifted her other foot, kicking him in the face.
"Husband!!!"
"Ah ha ha..."
Ye Anping hurriedly ducked his head and dodged, then pushed himself a little further away, raising his hands to show his surrender.
Seeing him like this, Pei Lianxue quickly withdrew her feet under her skirt and looked at him with her cheeks puffed up.
"Why are you tickling my feet all of a sudden?"
"Just from a whim."
Ye Anping shrugged slightly, secretly pleased with his little prank, then relaxed and leaned back on the couch.
"Wifey, how about you massage your husband's shoulders?"
"..."
Pei Lianxue frowned slightly but didn't refuse. She put down the book in her hand, crawled behind him, and gently pressed his shoulders.
The next moment, her two small hands suddenly slipped down and attacked Ye Anping's armpits.
However, Ye Anping maintained a playful smile on his face, as if he didn't feel anything at all.
He knew this girl was extremely vindictive, and since he tickled her just now, she would definitely find an opportunity to tickle him back.
Unfortunately, he wasn't ticklish.
Pei Lianxue tickled for a while, but when she saw that Ye Anping had no reaction at all, she tilted her head. "Eh? It's not itchy?"
"Your husband is not ticklish."
"..."
Pei Lianxue was silent for a while, then she clenched her hands into fists and dug hard into his armpits with her index fingers.
Ye Anping sucked in a sharp breath and opened his mouth wide. "Ouch!!!"
"Hmph!!!"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!!!"
"Not stopping!"
"Hiss---Brother was wrong!! I was wrong! Ah---"
Ye Anping was in so much pain that he couldn't sit straight, so he fell off the sofa, and the back of his head hit the ground with a thud. Pei Lianxue, who was holding on to him, was naturally pulled off the couch by him and fell on his chest.
"Hiss--"
Ye Anping sucked in a breath. He touched the back of his head and looked at the little sister lying on his chest, helplessly saying, "I told you I was wrong, and you're still not letting go."
"You tickled me first!"
Ye Anping raised his hands in surrender. "Let me get up now, okay?"
Pei Lianxue, who was riding on Ye Anping, wanted to nod in agreement, but when she looked at her 'husband' underneath her, she felt a strange sense of pleasure in her heart. She suddenly frowned. "...No!"
"Ah? Why not?"
"I don't want to!"
"..."
Ye Anping was speechless, but since she wasn't heavy anyway, he just let her ride like this.
At this time, Liang Zhu happened to walk in from the main door.
"Sixth Brother..."
The moment he called out to Ye Anping, Liang Zhu saw the position of the 'couple' in the main hall and immediately regretted not knocking on the door before entering.
"Tsk..."
He clicked his tongue and turned, wanting to leave.
Ye Anping looked up toward the door and greeted him with a smile. "Hey~ Brother Liang, I also wanted to find you."
At this, Liang Zhu felt even more worried, but after hearing Ye Anping's next words, he turned 180 degrees and walked back in.
---"You helped me with that knife slash last time, but I haven't given you the reward yet."
"..."
Ignoring their 'husband and wife' posture, Liang Zhu approached them, looked at Ye Anping lying on the ground, and nodded.
"You can give it now."
Ye Anping closed his eyes, took a deep breath, held it in, then exerted force on his waist and abdomen. He did a carp kip up and stood up from the ground while holding Pei Lianxue in his arms.
Liang Zhu watched him do this with an 'I am so old' expression on his face.
Ye Anping took out a small storage bag of 10,000 spirit stones that he had already prepared and handed it over.
Liang Zhu hastily reached out to take it but found that Ye Anping had no intention of letting go and was looking at him with a smile.
Seeing this, blue veins popped up on his forehead one after another.
"This is what we agreed upon, and it's my due. If you need something else from me, let's renegotiate."
"I'll give it all to you after we discuss it."
Liang Zhu could only nod helplessly and asked, "Well, what is it?"
"Brother Liang, besides the '*Big Dipper suffocating spirit*' spell, do you know any other useful formation spells? You should have a lot in your inventory, right?"
"There's a few I got when I was working before. Why? You want to buy them?"
"Please tell me what you've got."
"*Yin Yang Fierce Evil Formation*, *Heavenly Nine Palaces Formation*, *Spirit Sky Sun Flaming Formation*, *Four Beasts Spirit Control Formation*..."
Liang Zhu left Ye Anping dumbfounded, reporting more than twenty formations at once, just like he was announcing the names of some dishes.
He could feel that there were a lot of things hidden in this storage bag, but he really didn't expect that he could list more than twenty different spells.
"Brother Liang, you wouldn't happen to be a young master who ran away from a wealthy family, would you?"
Liang Zhu rolled his eyes at him. "No."
Ye Anping gave him a thumbs up, praising him. "It's truly impressive for a rogue cultivator to collect so many spells."
"So, which one do you want to buy?"
"A spell that isolates external spiritual energy and a water formation used to deal with demonic cultivators in the *Core Formation* stage. Do you have something like this?"
Hearing it was about dealing with a *Core Formation* demonic cultivator again, Liang Zhu frowned and replied, "The spells are useless. You can't set up formations in the ***Dragon House***. Before you would set it up, the guards will come and send you to the prison."
"Of course, I won't use it inside the ***Dragon House***. I'll use it in the mountains outside **Duchun City**."
Liang Zhu frowned again. "You want to lure the demonic cultivator out?"
"The bait has been set." Ye Anping smiled. "Yao Yuanhua, who died in the hands of the guards, had a female demonic cultivator partner who had a very good relationship with him as a cultivator couple. She is named 'Wu Yue' and is also a member of the ***Demonic*** Sect. That person must be looking for us now."
"How many demonic cultivators are there in total?"
"Five."
"Aren't you afraid of luring the remaining three people here? They must want revenge."
"If we lure too many, we will just slip away. Do you think the eyes I planted in the ***Dragon House*** are in vain?"
Liang Zhu was silent for a while before asking, "I wanted to say it before, can't you ask the big shot behind you to send some more helpers? Do you have to use two cultivators in the *Foundation Building* stage to deal with so many demonic cultivators in the *Core Formation* stage?"
Ye Anping thought about it. Although there was no big shot supporting him, Si Xuanji could probably be counted as the big shot behind him in this matter.
"The big shot behind me... will probably send a parrot with a big mouth to shout at me a few times."
?
Liang Zhu frowned. "You're talking in metaphors?"
"No, she will really send a parrot."
Liang Zhu was silent for a while, then took out from his storage bag a book with the title '*Thousand Formations References*' and handed it to Ye Anping.
"Take this and find it yourself. This was given to me by a cultivator from a sect specializing in spell formations. It contains more than twenty formation ideas and the necessary items."
"How much?"
"One thousand spirit stones. Remember to return it to me after you read it."
"The rent for this book is really expensive, but okay... it's a deal!"
Ye Anping shrugged, handed over the spirit stones bag with one hand, and took the book with the other.
As soon as Liang Zhu got the spirit stones, he was ready to bolt out. However, just as he turned around and took a step, a guard from the *Jiang Mansion* suddenly rushed in.
"Young Master!"
Seeing that the man was in a panic, Ye Anping was a little confused. "What's the matter?"
"Someone who wanted to impersonate you rushed in with a cultivator in the *Foundation Building* stage and injured our guards."
Ye Anping understood that, most likely, the real Jiang Yu had returned.
This was not beyond his expectations. What was beyond his expectation was that Jiang Yu actually brought a *Foundation Building* cultivator?!
Logically speaking, he should be penniless and not able to hire a goon at all.
He didn't know where could he find such idle people, who were actually willing to help him come over and make a ruckus.
Idle people...
Could it be...
A white-haired beauty flashed through Ye Anping's mind.
He paused, then asked with a frown, "What does that *Foundation Building* cultivator look like?"
"A female cultivator with long, white hair."
"Oh."
Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling like a large herd of alpacas was roaring past in his heart. He sighed inwardly: This was probably the law of attraction.
When Pei Lianxue heard the guard say 'white hair', she seemed to realize who it was. She frowned and took out her sword from her storage bag.
---*The white-haired vixen is coming after me*!!!
Swish---
"Husband, I'll go!"
?
A question mark appeared above Ye Anping's head.
However, before he could say something, his sister turned into a black shadow and flew out.
