At the house where Feng Yu Die was staying, Ye Anping was stunned once he entered the door.
Feng Yu Die was actually wearing a silk dress with black cloud patterns, and, as she was born good-looking, this outfit and her silver hair tied into a bun made her look surreal.
However, he was dumbfounded, not because she was beautiful, but because... He looked at the black cloud pattern sleeves of the outfit that Xiaodie made him wear.
Whether it was the embroidery pattern or the color, his and Feng Yu Die's clothes were simply a 'couple's outfit'. And there were also the gold and jade tassels that Xiaodie brought from somewhere to hang on his belt. Feng Yu Die also had them hanging at her waist now.
"..."Speechless, Ye Anping looked at Kong Yulan who was also in the room, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.
When Kong Yulan saw him looking over, she happily winked at him, as if asking for credit---*Mother loves you, knowing that you like this girl, she specially brought you these clothes. * ---*Gee, thanks, Mother.*
At this moment, Feng Yu Die also noticed his outfit, then stared blankly at the clothes that Kong Yulan insisted she should wear, and a look of shock showed in her eyes.
She signaled Ye Anping with her eyes and asked, *What's going on?*
Ye Anping shook his head slightly, sighed, and replied through his eyes and mimic, *I had nothing to do with it.*
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian floated in mid-air gloatingly and covered her mouth, snickering, "Yu Die, look how well you match with that Ye boy now."
After that, there was another exchange of pleasantries, and Elder Wang asked Feng Yu Die about her master Taixu and verified the authenticity of the letter and the token she was carrying. Then, he asked about the matter of the demonic cultivator in **Wuxi Town**.While Feng Yu Die was talking, Kong Yulan quietly walked to Ye Anping's side and started to brag. "Anping, how is it? Doesn't Miss Feng look good in her dress today? These are the clothes that Mother especially found for you and Miss Feng yesterday."
"Mother..."
Ye Anping wanted to say that what she did was unnecessary but felt that if he said this, his mother would cry in sadness right there and then.
Kong Yulan was a control freak when it came to her child, and because he was her only son, she spoiled him a bit too much and was the type of overbearing mother.
Ye Anping still remembered that when he was three years old, he accidentally tripped over an old stone brick and injured his knee.
As a result, when his mother found out, she immediately brought him to the stone brick, pointed at it, and cursed it severely. Then, she used magic to blast the stone brick that tripped him into slag and even refurbished all the floor tiles there in the end.
It could be said that he was spoiled rotten.
Ye Anping thought for a while, and in order to avoid trouble, he simply nodded and said, "Thank you, Mother, I... like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it. You can take Miss Feng for a walk in the blooming garden later. I asked her just now, and she also has a favorable impression of you. Also, from what I inquired before, ***Black Star*** Sect allows disciples to bring a companion, so when the time comes, you ask Miss Feng to take you there with her. It will be very good for you to live together as a small cultivator couple."
"Ah..."
"Or, just pay a simple visit for a few days and come back in a few years. Mother will help you host a big wedding banquet."
"I..."
Fortunately, Ye Ao and Elder Wang, who were still talking about the demonic cultivator, called him over. "Anping, come and tell us about that demonic cultivator."
"Mother, I have my own plan for this, so don't trouble yourself."
"Are you disregarding your mother?"
"No, no, I don't dare."
Ye Anping immediately retreated, walked over to Elder Wang, and took out the magical artifacts and Wu You's identity tablet from the storage bag.
"Elder Wang, this is what that demonic cultivator had on him."
Elder Wang glanced at it with narrowed eyes and asked, "Mr. Ye, your father told me earlier that when you and your sister met the demonic cultivator, he was seriously injured. But even seriously injured, a *Core Formation* cultivator is definitely not someone a *Qi Refining* cultivator can kill. Can you tell me how you and your little sister killed him?"
"At that moment, we were practicing our spells in the forest, and the demonic cultivator happened to run into our path. He seemed to want to heal his wounds with our blood, so I trapped him with an ice magic trap."
"What kind of magic trap could bind a *Core Formation* cultivator?"
"A magic trap from the **Cold Sky Country**. I don't know the name, I just got it by chance."
Listening from the side, Ye Ao was full of questions---forget about those techniques mentioned before, that he could buy with a few more spirit stones in the market, but this ice magic trap sounded like something from the **Cold Sky Country**. Where did this kid learn it from?
Elder Wang nodded. "Cultivators who use poisonous insects are indeed afraid of the cold, so I can understand how you and your sister killed him. Besides these things in his bag, was there anything else?"
There was also a fragment of the '*Black Moon Practice*', but of course, that could not be said...
Ye Anping pretended to think carefully and said, "There were also two cauldrons of toxic parasites that I burned with fire talismans, and they should be gone for good. I sealed his body with earth magic in the woods near **Wuxi Town**. It should be easy to find since the ice magic froze all the trees in that area."
Elder Wang seemed convinced, and he patted Ye Anping on the shoulder. "As the one who killed the demonic cultivator, you can go to the ***Black Star*** Sect to receive the reward, especially since he is the Grand Master of the ***Magical Poison*** Sect. When you have time, bring this identity jade tablet to the ***Black Star*** and you should get a lot of good stuff."
"Thank you, Elder Wang."
"Okay." Elder Wang nodded and turned to Feng Yu Die. "I will inform our Matriarch about your matter when I return, and please, come on time for the sect election in two months. Even though you have a letter of recommendation from Master Taixu, if you are late, you will still lose your eligibility to enter the sect and have to wait another five years."
"Understood."
"Then, I won't stay any longer. It is a very serious matter that people from the ***Magical Poison*** Sect have come into the hidden realm of the Immortal Families. I must immediately return to the ***Black Star*** and report to the Matriarch and the other Elders."
He cupped his hands toward Ye Ao and Kong Yulan, then turned and left, looking really anxious.
Ye Ao quickly chased after him to send him off.
After they left, Ye Anping was also ready to go back to the house, but suddenly saw Kong Yulan hinting at him with her eyes. *Ping! Hurry up! Invite Miss Feng for a walk!*
With a sigh, he looked at Feng Yu Die and reached out to her. "Miss Feng, do you want to go for a walk?"
Feng Yu Die was stunned, then noticed Kong Yulan looking at her with shining eyes, so she also sighed like Ye Anping and gently took his hand. "With great pleasure."
So, just like that, hand in hand, the two walked out of the Pavilion and didn't let go of their hands until the feeling of Kong Yulan's gaze following them disappeared.
Feng Yu Die grimaced and said, "Young Master Ye, Madam Kong insisted that I wear this outfit. I live under their roof now, so it's hard to refuse."
"I figured that much." Ye Anping looked at her with squinted eyes and said helplessly, "Did she praise me before you and ask what you think of me?"
Feng Yu Die nodded, answering with a sigh, "Eh..."
"Eh..." Ye Anping also sighed. "Don't worry, I don't mean anything to you, and I know you can't mean anything to me."
"..."
"Anyway, let's stay in the garden for a while. If you go straight back, my mother will probably come to ask me about it."
Seeing Ye Anping's helpless look, Feng Yu Die couldn't help but snort with laughter.
"Poof---"
"What are you laughing at?"
"I originally thought your parents would be the kind... of people who are very old-fashioned and rigid. You also gave me the feeling of a stiff and inexpressive noble son from a big family, but I didn't expect your mother to be so cute."
When Ye Anping heard Feng Yu Die say his mother was cute, he suddenly felt something was wrong and glared at her angrily.
"Feng Yu Die..."
"What?"
"You wouldn't want to screw my mother in addition to my sister, would you?!"
"Screw your sister? What does 'screw' mean?" Feng Yu Die hastily shrank back her neck.
Hearing this question, Ye Anping was taken aback, and suddenly his anger dissipated.
"Oh, right, you don't even know how you were born."
"Huh?" Feng Yu Die had a series of question marks above her head. "What? I don't know how I was born? Why wouldn't I know? A god made me from soil and then sent me with a stork to my parents as a gift."
"Yes." Ye Anping smiled. "You are right, you are a gift brought by the stork to your parents."
Xiao Tian, who was floating above Feng Yu Die's head, sighed and looked at her while shaking her head and clicking her tongue.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"What happened?" Seeing Xiao Tian like this, Feng Yu Die became even more puzzled and asked Ye Anping, "What? Didn't you come with the stork? Could it be that you grew out of the soil?"
Ye Anping was speechless. "I didn't come with a stork. I came from a ginseng fruit that fell from a tree."
"Ginseng fruit?!" Feng Yu Die was dumbfounded. "What kind of tree grows ginseng fruit?"
"A ginseng tree."
"Oh... what about Miss Pei? Is she also from a ginseng fruit?"
"Yes, that's right!"
