The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Ye Anping took Pei Lianxue's small hand, slowed down his pace, and enjoyed with her the magnificent scenery of the streets under the night sky.

The Black Star Sect's marketplace was not small, almost as big as the Hundred Lotus Sect, and many stores were open all night. After all, starting with the Foundation Building stage, cultivators didn't need to sleep anymore, and if they were free, they could go out and stroll around the market at night.

Pei Lianxue was now obediently walking beside him, looking down at the stone tiles on the ground. It made him wonder what was going on in her mind.

Ye Anping observed her for a while before he realized.

The reason she was walking with her head down like this was that she didn't want to step on the lines between the stone tiles, and she wanted her every step to be in the center of the tiles.

When she came across a broken stone tile, she would just take a small jump to cross over it.

Was this a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder?

She was pretty cute, almost like an ordinary little girl.

No one could tell this was a little cultivator who was invulnerable to all poisons, had slaughtered countless monsters, and had excellent sword skills.

Unbeknownst to him, Pei Lianxue was now struggling to divine her own future.

Wasn't it like pulling flower petals for divination, "likes me," "likes me not?"

She was thinking now, if she just walked step by step like this, she would reach the last stone tile in the street.

If the left foot was in front, it meant "Brother loves me", and if the right foot was in front at the end of the street, it meant "Brother does not love me".

After dozens of steps, she finally reached the last tile of the street and was about to turn the corner.

She stopped and realized it was her right foot in front. Pursing her lips, she took a small jump on the spot, switching her feet, and stepped on the last tile with her left foot---It is fate! Brother loves me!

Seeing her actions, Ye Anping was confused. What the hell was she doing?

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"..." Pei Lianxue was silent for a while, then raised her head to look at him and asked. "Brother, do you love me?"

Why was she asking him this all of a sudden?

Ye Anping blinked and said with a smile, "Of course I love you. You are the only little sister I have. How can I not love you?"

"Well..." Pei Lianxue smiled shyly, nodded, and held Ye Anping's hand tighter. "Hehe..."

Ye Anping paused, then suddenly realized something and asked. "Did you see something you liked when you were shopping with Xiao Yunluo, and you want big brother to buy it for you?"

"Ah?! No..."

"You are so stubborn. Can't you just tell me if you want anything? Am I a stranger? Tell me, what do you want?"

Pei Lianxue looked at her brother's face in silence and finally nodded.

"Mm-hmm."

Earlier, when they were shopping, Xiao Yunluo dragged her to a clothing store and wanted to buy her something, but she flatly refused because everything was too expensive---just a tulle shawl would cost a thousand spirit stones.

However, there was a gorgeous fairy-like red wedding dress on display in that store.

The lady owner proudly presented it to them, saying that it was encrusted with eighty-one sacred jewels, and whether a girl was endowed or not, after wearing it, no man could take his eyes off her.

Although she didn't understand much, she thought it was really beautiful and fantasized about wearing that dress at the wedding ceremony with her brother.

Of course, she could never tell her brother that she wanted that wedding dress. It would be too awkward if he couldn't afford it, and it would be too much of a waste if he did. Also, she didn't need all the men not to take their eyes off her, it was enough if her brother wouldn't.

She had just seen a ready-made clothing store down the street that was much cheaper.

So, after a brief hesitation, Pei Lianxue took the initiative to hold her brother's hand and returned to that clothing store.

"There's some clothes here."

"..."

Ye Anping blinked and stared blankly at the sign above the clothing store.

This was the store where he ordered women's clothing before.

At that time, he didn't expect Bai Yuexin to help attract customers, so he wanted to do it himself, dressed in women's clothes. After all, a female technician in a physiotherapy center was more attractive to many people.

But then, unexpectedly, Bai Yuexin started bringing in customers, and he put the women's dressing plan on hold.

As for that dress, he remembered it when Feng Yu Die came to his shop to eat roasted chicken the other day.

Because it was custom-made according to his own body shape, if he gave it to his sister, it would probably constrict her chest if she wore it.

However, Feng Yu Die was about the same size as him, only a little shorter, so he sold her the dress at a 50% discount.

When Feng Yu Die got it, she quite liked it and even praised him for having good taste.

Just when Ye Anping wanted to find an excuse to choose another clothing store, the lady owner saw them and came out to greet them.

"Aren't you the young master from last time?"

"Eh?" Seeing that the lady owner recognized her brother, Pei Lianxue tilted her head and hurriedly pulled him closer to her. "Madame, has my brother bought clothes from here before?"

"It was remarkable." The lady owner covered her mouth and laughed. "The young gentleman came in back then and asked me to make a dress to his size."

"Dre... dress?!"

Pei Lianxue looked at Ye Anping in horror, which made him feel embarrassed as he didn't know how to explain.

And then the lady owner said, "You bought it as a gift, didn't you? How was it? The clothes I make are not bad, right?"

"... A gift?"

Pei Lianxue frowned, clothes made according to her brother's size? As a gift?

Ye Anping could only find a lame explanation and change the subject.

"I just wanted one to display at home. Okay, sister, didn't you want some clothes? Ma'am, make something suitable for my sister. Just ask her about the style and color."

"Great! Sit inside for a while, young master, and I'll bring the little girl to take her measures."

With that, the lady owner enthusiastically pulled Pei Lianxue to the back room, took out her kit, and started taking her body measurements.

As the lady owner measured her body, Pei Lianxue asked. "Madame, what kind of dress did my brother order then?"

"Hmm? It was emerald green, and the style was similar to the one I'm wearing now, but the material was better."

"Ah, so it's like that..." Pei Lianxue nodded.

As for girls who were roughly the same size as her brother, she could only think of Feng Yu Die.

When she returns home, she must check Feng Yu Die's closet to make sure!

But... what if it turned out to be true?

Gifting clothes to someone of the opposite sex is a very intimate act, just like giving handkerchiefs or jade pendants.

Especially if they are not very familiar with each other.

But wasn't her brother thinking of Miss Xiyue?

Why would he give a dress to that white-haired idiot?

What's so good about that idiot?!
