The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

About four thousand miles northwest of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The Star Palace, built on top of a giant moonstone, rode on the wind and currents of the inky sea of ​​clouds, moving leisurely at an altitude of nearly fifty thousand feet like an immortal mountain in the sky or an isolated island in the sea.

The relaxing Moon Pool in the backyard of the Star Palace was Si Xuanji's exclusive bathing pool. However, she didn't use it very often, especially since dust didn't touch Void Returning cultivators, so there was no need to bathe. Therefore, this exquisite pool was usually left unused.

Nevertheless, at this moment, the Moon Pool was filled with mist, and the dragon head sculptures beside it, which had not moved for nearly ten years, continuously sprayed spiritual water into the pool as if trying to please their master.

Splash...

Si Xuanji floated at the edge of the pool, holding a jar of wine in her hand. Under her wet bangs, her yin-yang eyes revealed a little drunkenness. As usual, she missed her lover. 

On the side, Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo leaned against the poolside shoulder to shoulder.

Both of them looked a little resentful.

At that time, on the immortal ship, the two woke up in a daze and found that Ye Anping was missing. They hurriedly searched all over the ship until Brother Liang ran over, threw them a letter, and said, "Sixth Brother eloped with that demonic cultivator and Miss Feng."

Although Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo saw the letter left by him and understood that the overall situation was important, he still ran away without saying a word to them. They had been showing bitter faces since that day.

Si Xuanji looked at their two puffed-up faces, and she was even more resentful.

These two girls at least found a chance to spend six days with Ye Anping to relieve their loneliness.

But what about her?

She hadn't seen a hair of Ye Anping for half a year, but did she say anything?

Si Xuanji shook her head, nibbled on the wine jar lightly, and sipped the wine, putting her hopes on this "Spring Calling Jade Wine" that was rumored to let people see their loved ones in dreams or hallucinations.

Unfortunately, her cultivation was too high.

A normal cultivator would get drunk with a jar of this immortal wine, but she drank three jars and didn't feel anything at all.

These three jars of immortal wine were from Lei Wanjun. When he gave them to her, he cried as if he were parting with his lover.

Gurgle gurgle...

The wine stimulated her soft throat. Si Xuanji squinted her eyes, mulled over for a while, and opened her mouth slightly. "Hiccup~~~"

Then, she looked at the two people who were silently staring at the water next to her, took out two glasses of wine, and pushed them over.

"Yunluo, Miss Pei, drink with me~" 

Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo looked at the wine glasses floating over, hesitated for a while, then slowly picked them up, raised their heads, and drank to the bottom. After finishing the wine, Pei Lianxue pouted and asked, "Master Si, how long are we going to stay here, at the Heavenly Demon Sect? I want to find my brother."

"You can't leave your brother? Didn't you just meet not long ago?"

Pei Lianxue puffed her cheeks, expressing dissatisfaction. "Woo~~~"

Si Xuanji pondered for a moment before saying, "Anping didn't take you with him because he wanted you to stay in a safe place."

"I'm not afraid of danger...Since it's dangerous, brother should take me with him, I can protect him..." Pei Lianxue looked at Si Xuanji with a frown. "And it's not safe here either."

Si Xuanji raised her eyebrows, a little unhappy, and asked back, "Is it not safe to be with me?"

"I can't beat you, what if you want to bite me... Ouch..."

Before she finished speaking, Si Xuanji's figure flashed in front of Pei Lianxue, stretched out her hand, and knocked on her head, causing Pei Lianxue to shrink into the pool and cover her head.

At this time, Xiao Yunluo suddenly burped, her eyes blurred, as she stretched out her hands toward the empty water, hugging a ball of air and puckering her lips as if she were practicing kissing alone.

"Anping~~ Woo~~ Kiss... Woo—"

"..."  "..."

??

Pei Lianxue and Si Xuanji turned their heads to look, both with blank expressions on their faces.

"No hope for the future... Alas... No wonder there is only one Black Dragon left in the world now..."

Si Xuanji sighed but didn't bother with her. When she heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the Moon Pool, she slowly turned her head to look.

Qiu Shuirou turned from the entrance screen wall and froze for a moment when she saw Xiao Yunluo kissing and hugging the air, but she quickly came to her senses and nodded. "Little Miss, we are only four thousand miles away from the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Hmm..."

Si Xuanji closed her eyes, let out a breath, and lowered her shoulders slightly. She stopped toying with the two girls and turned around, then walked up the stairs of the pool step by step. 

Qiu Shuirou hurriedly took out a set of official clothes from her storage bag and walked to her side, kneeling. When Si Xuanji raised her hand, she helped her put them on.

"Where is the big fox?"

"The Fox King is already waiting in the guest hall."

Pei Lianxue soaked in the pool and looked at Si Xuanji's clothes carefully. It was not the purple sect uniform of the Black Star Sect leader that she had seen before, but a yin-and-yang Daoist uniform with the aura of the heavenly spirit. The shawl around her neck was almost transparent, but it revealed bursts of pure spiritual light.

Although Si Xuanji didn't say anything, she could see that she was going out, so she quickly said, "Matriarch Si, I want to go too!!"

"..."

Si Xuanji turned around and straightly refused. "No."

Pei Lianxue frowned in dissatisfaction. "Why…"

Seeing her like this, Si Xuanji no longer showed her usual playful look, but her eyes were serious, and she even released a little spiritual power to suppress Pei Lianxue as she narrowed her eyes. "Your cultivation is too low. You'll be a burden if you follow me."

"..."

"The shockwaves of a fight between Void Returning cultivators can reach thousands of miles away. Even Deification cultivators can barely protect themselves, not to mention that if a Nascent Soul cultivator is even slightly touched, not even a speck of dust will be left."

Si Xuanji looked at Pei Lianxue, who was forcing herself to resist her spiritual power, and admired her for a while, but there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Although the reason she had stated was real, Si Xuanji actually thought that, with Pei Lianxue's strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to come with her...

Furthermore, it would be a great opportunity for her to witness the great power of the hero Xuanji.

But after all, it was Ye Anping who left Pei Lianxue in her care.

This time, she was not sure that she could escape unscathed from the confrontation with Yu Yan, and naturally, she had no spare energy to protect Pei Lianxue. If Pei Lianxue got hurt, Ye Anping would definitely blame her...

Si Xuanji could let anyone down but not Ye Anping.

"Miss Pei, you and Shuirou will go north of the Heavenly Demon Sect and meet with Elder Qin of Heavenly Cloud Peak."

"..."

"Aren't you going to answer?"

Pei Lianxue resisted Si Xuanji's spiritual power for a while, but she finally nodded reluctantly. "Hmm…"

"Good."

After seeing her nod, Si Xuanji withdrew her spiritual power and then turned to look at Xiao Yunluo.

She hadn't noticed just now, but Xiao Yunluo's face was now flushed, her hands were holding the air, and her neck was moving forward and backward, nodding like a chicken with antlers...

"Slurp~~ Suck—~"

Seeing her like this, Si Xuanji was tired and helpless and felt somewhat regretful. 

She should have listened to Qiu Shuirou and accompanied Xiao Yunluo more often. Then, maybe, this girl wouldn't be so useless...

"Shuirou, please take care of these two girls..."

Qiu Shuirou looked at Xiao Yunluo's actions and couldn't help but blush a little, but still, she didn't lose her professionalism as a maid. Pretending she didn't see anything, she folded her hands on her belly, closed her eyes, and nodded. "Yes, Little Miss."

After getting her response, Si Xuanji took a step forward, but it was as if she walked into the void. Her figure gradually turned into stars and dispersed as she walked forward.

Qiu Shuirou breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss Pei, what happened to Young Miss Xiao..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Pei Lianxue looked at Xiao Yunluo and answered. "Well... I don't know... She suddenly became like this after drinking Matriarch Si's wine just now..."

"I see… Well, can you please carry her out first..."

… … 

Inside the Star Palace Guest Hall.

The Demon King Hu Mu, dressed in a black robe, sat on a chair with a serious face. He rested his hand on the tea table beside him and tapped rhythmically on it.

Unlike his calm expression, his big black tail was twitching uncontrollably at times, showing his uneasiness.

From Feng Yu Die, he learned that Patriarch Yu Yan was the man he had been looking for for so many years: his wife's murderer.

Now that his revenge was about to happen, he should have been excited about it, but he was still uncontrollably flustered because of fear.

From his perspective, fighting Yu Yan in the Eastern Region was like fighting Red Moon Matriarch in the Western Region. It was not impossible to win, but it was at least as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Moreover, if his cultivation was counted, he would still be one level lower than Yu Yan, only in the middle Void Returning stage.

However, Hu Mu was not afraid of death, he was afraid of...

"Master, your tail is exposed~~"

Xue Tianqiao, who was sitting on the other side of the tea table, had been staring at her master's tail for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say something.

Naturally, Hu Mu immediately glared at her with a menacing look, but then he let out a rare sigh.

"Sigh..."

Xue Tianqiao was the reason for his fear.

If he died in Yu Yan's hands, what would she do in the future?

The current Demon Clan was temporarily unified because of him, but once he died, the hundreds of tribes in it would inevitably fight like before.

Xue Tianqiao loved to play too much, and maybe he was overprotective. Until now, she still thought that there were beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere in the world, and she had not seen the meanness of human cultivators and the bloodthirst of the Demon Clan itself.

So much so that someone easily kidnapped her by using his tail fur as bait…

"Master, you sighed~~"

"Shut up, female fox."

"Okay! Male fox!!"

"...💢💢💢💢"

Just as Hu Mu's eyelids twitched and a row of blue veins appeared on his forehead, an ankle bell rang lightly, causing his fox ears to turn slightly toward the back.

Whoosh—

Hu Mu stood up immediately, turned around, and took three steps back.

Si Xuanji stood there with her fingers stretched as if she were ready to pull off his tail fur. Seeing that he had reacted, she was quite surprised. Smiling, she took a few steps to the side. 

Ding-ling-ling...

Hu Mu's expression remained the same, but he hid his tail behind him and turned to Xuanji.

"Red Moon, are you ready?"

"Big fox, your tail fur grows so fast, I won't kill you if I pull it a little. Why are you so defensive? I also want to make a fox fur cape for Tianqiao~~"

Xue Tianqiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately replied, "Thank you, Granny Si!!!"

Si Xuanji walked up to Xue Tianqiao and patted her head, but then her face turned cold as she said, "Don't worry. If you..."

She paused deliberately before continuing, "I will take care of Tianqiao. My parrot also needs a companion."

Hu Mu frowned. "Red Moon, do you treat her as a pet? "

"Heh... If it were a pet, I would have thrown the parrot into the soup."

Si Xuanji glanced at the bird rack beside her and saw the parrot staring at her intently, croaking, "So vicious!! So vicious!! "

Si Xuanji smiled and ignored it, but the parrot added, "Ye Tianchong, please save me!! Ye Tianchong, please save me!! Bang her to death!! Bang her to death!!"

Si Xuanji twitched her eyes, but shrugged again and spread her hands. "Big fox, take this as a favor I owe you."

"..."

This was the first time Hu Mu heard the word "favor" from her. In the past, when this woman came over, she would always pull out his tail fur and give him orders.

Seeing that Si Xuanji had actually conceded, he was a little uncomfortable.

"Heh, who wants your favor?"

"Well, then you owe me one." Si Xuanji smiled. "I gave you the opportunity to get revenge for Hu Yulan..."

Hu Mu looked away with an indifferent look. "Heh..."

"Okay, stop showing off. It's time to settle accounts with Yu Yan."

"Yeah." Hu Mu nodded, then looked at Xue Tianqiao. "Female fox, you stay here, see if you dare to run around. When I come back, I will peel off your skin..."

Xue Tianqiao nodded and raised her paw in response. "Okay! Male fox!!"

"...💢"
