The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix-Chapter 10: Checking The Bag

Outside the ice trap, Ye Anping was quite nervous until he withdrew the spell and saw Pei Lianxue waving at him and the blackened smoking stuff in front of her.

The plan went smoothly, even far beyond his expectations. If Wu You had dealt with him seriously right after seeing him, maybe he and Pei Lianxue would have been killed, but unfortunately for him, he didn't.

From the beginning to the end, this man didn't take them---two kids in the *Qi Refining* stage---seriously. Until the end, this guy couldn't believe he died at the hands of two small *Qi Refining* cultivators.

In the cultivators' world, it was practically impossible to kill someone who was two levels ahead.

Just like in a hierarchical RPG game, two small ten-levels could fight against a higher fiftieth-level with less health left.

And yet, he and his sister did it.

"Brother! We did it!"

Seeing Pei Lianxue running toward him with her arms open, Ye Anping did not want to be stingy, so he took the initiative to meet her and hugged her around, and then he praised her with a smile, "You were amazing!"

Pei Lianxue put her arms around his neck and said in displeasure, "Brother, don't treat me like a child!"

"Aren't you just a child? You're only fourteen years old."

"I'll be an adult in a few months."

Ye Anping smiled dotingly and reminded her. "Focus your energy to heal your wounds first. Weren't you poisoned by his magic in the ice trap just now? Although you are resistant, you still have to be careful about the after-effects."

"Yes, yes, hmm." Pei Lianxue only felt that her brother was not romantic at all.

According to the novels, after the hero and heroine went through a crisis, weren't they supposed to flirt or kiss? So, now was the best time to show their love.

If he said "Marry me when we get back," she would definitely agree on the spot without any objection.

"Stinky brother. Can't even seize such a good opportunity. Hmph!"

"What opportunity? Isn't this opportunity a good one?" Ye Anping was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Look, neither of us has even a slight injury, wasn't my plan flawless?"

"Well..." Pei Lianxue sighed and stopped talking, then she sat cross-legged and began the *Qi Refining* practice.

Ye Anping took out a pill from the storage bag and gave it to her. Then, he walked over to Wu You's corpse, took out his own sword, and cut off the charred head.

After confirming that he really stopped breathing, he scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense again. Seeing that the toxic parasites were all burned, he dared to reach for the storage bag.

There wasn't much inside it. A jade identification tablet from the ***Magical Poison*** Sect, several cauldrons for storing the toxic parasites, seven or eight good quality magic weapons, about 3,000 spirit stones, and a golden book page.

Sorting through them, Ye Anping recognized all of these items. In the game transcript, these were dropped when Wu You was killed.

Only, in the game, one kill randomly dropped a few of them, whereas in this bag were all the items on the drop list.

But even if those things were good, they weren't something he and Pei Lianxue could handle at their current cultivation level.

They could only take these magic tools to the black market auction and try to exchange them for some spirit stones or magic tools suitable for them.

As for the cauldron and the remaining toxic parasites inside, Ye Anping directly burned them with fire magic.

Last, there was a golden page from a book...

If he remembered right, it should be the fifth fragment of '*Black Moon Routine*.' In the game, this was a mission prop for the central theme.

This page should have been obtained by Feng Yu Die after killing Wu You, but now it was in his hands. This was a great chance that belonged to the protagonist, so he didn't really want to keep it and even thought of throwing it away.

But, thinking about it, Wu You was killed by him and Pei Lianxue, after all. When word got out about this, people would definitely come to them to ask about the page.

"Pfft... it's a problem whether we throw this thing away or not."

Ye Anping pondered for a while, then put the golden page into his storage bag, thinking he might find a chance to get rid of it later.

After sorting Wu You's storage bag, Ye Anping stood up, ready to return with Pei Lianxue.

However, just as he turned his head, he saw the small golden figure that looked like the emergency food that was accompanying Feng Yu Die before, flying toward them.

"..."

Looking at the little golden figure, Ye Anping was a little puzzled.

Wasn't this little thing a companion spirit? A companion spirit should not stray too far away from the master, and they were now at least half a mile away from Feng Yu Die.

How could this little thing get so far, and what was she doing here? Did she come over because she saw the ice spell he just cast?

...

-- *A quarter of an hour ago* --

When the Holy Emperor's dragon disappeared, without the dragon's tail supporting her, Feng Yu Die fell directly to the ground from midair with a "plop."

Panicking, Xiao Tian immediately flew to her. "Yu Die!!!" She quickly checked her injuries, only to find that the meridians in her body were all shattered, and the demonic cultivator's toxic parasite had eaten half of her soul. As a result, her life was about to be extinguished, and she was halfway through the spirit gate.

"Ah?! Yu Die... this... what should I do?"

Looking at her messed up meridians, Xiao Tian stomped anxiously in mid-air, wanting to drag her to the town. But she forgot that she was an artifact spirit and moreover, one that only Feng Yu Die could see.

The artifact spirit was the embodiment of a companion spirit and was something like a ghost. If it touched someone, that person would only feel a breeze blowing over them.

In other words, its strength was like that of a light wind. At best, the force of the wind was to shake the leaves, so how could she drag a grown person back into town?!

"Hey--- ah!" Xiao Tian gritted his teeth and pulled Feng Yu Die's clothes with all her strength, but in the end, she only lifted her collar half an inch.

After several failed attempts, she felt like crying.

If no one came to save Feng Yu Die while they were waiting for that demonic cultivator to return, she would be finished. And she might even die from the current injuries before that man returned.

"What to do? What should I do?!"

She wanted to call the people in the town, but no one could see her except Feng Yu Die, and no one could hear her speak.

She tried to drag her, but she just couldn't. The more Xiao Tian thought about it, the more anxious she became, and finally, she cried in despair, "Wuuuu... Yu Die, if you die, what will I do?!!"

All of a sudden, half a mile to the southeast in the forest, an ice-blue beam of light rose into the sky, and the ground trembled.

Xiao Tian looked toward the pillar of light. "Is that... ice magic?! Could there be a mighty cultivator nearby?" After a moment of stupor, she jumped from behind Feng Yu Die and flew in the direction of that pillar.

"Yu Die, hold on a little longer! I'll get someone to rescue you right away! Hang on!!"
