The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix-Chapter 454 - Brother, Stretch The Line, Cast The Bait

"Don't be anxious. The bait has already been cast. Something will eventually bite it."

"Why don't we go find a town and buy fish?"

"How can the bought fish taste better than the fish I caught myself?"

It was rare for Pei Lianxue to see something that her brother was not good at. She smiled mischievously, but she did not say anything. Looking down at the river water beside the boat, she saw a few fish coming up. She put her right foot into the water and gently stirred it.

Ye Anping glanced at her. "Sister, your feet chased my fish away..."

Woosh--!

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Lianxue suddenly lifted her right foot out of the water.

With her foot movement, a black-scaled fat fish about twelve inches long, biting her toe, came out of the water.

Pei Lianxue lightly shook her foot, and the big fat fish drew out a parabola in the air before landing in the fish basket beside Ye Anping.

Ye Anping looked at the fish in the basket that was fished out by biting his sister's toes. He was silent for a moment, then looked back at Pei Lianxue, seeing her squinting and smiling smugly at him. "Hee~"

"Sigh... Alright, I admit defeat."

Ye Anping shook his head and sighed, deciding to stew the fish later. Then, he looked at the fish swimming a little further away and counted the days on his fingers.

It had already been fifteen days since he left the Black Star Sect with his sister.

During these fifteen days, they had traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, going to almost all the small towns and villages on the way.

Although he did see a lot of local customs and his sister had a lot of fun along the way, sightseeing was secondary. His main purpose was to "spread bait".

Countless eyes were staring at him in the four regions now.

Previously, he had holed up in the Black Star Sect, and those who stalked him did not dare to make any moves against him. Now, he had come out, and he even went to a mountain forest far away from the jurisdiction of the Black Star Sect.

The rogue cultivators, demonic cultivators, Bright Star Sect, and many other sects, plus the black market forces would definitely send people to approach him once they learned of this.

And it was just as Ye Anping thought.

In the past few days, his sister had already sent about seven or eight cultivators who approached him with malicious intentions to feed the fish at the bottom of the river.

However, the person he was waiting for was like a fish that hadn't bitten his hook for a long time, and he didn't know where it was now...

"So slow, that girl from the Bright Star Sect..."

Hearing the word "girl", Pei Lianxue stared at him and nervously asked, "What girl?"

"The main disciple of the Bright Star Sect, who is also the great-grandaughter of that old man Zu Yuan, Zu Lingzhi."

---In the game, this was a girl who was pestered by Feng Yu Die.

Ye Anping added this in his mind. Looking at his sister's serious and seemingly angry face, he smiled and pinched her nose. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in her. I just need her to be a go-between."

"You also said before that you were not interested in Yunluo... Ye Tianchong!"

"Hiss---" Ye Anping inhaled sharply when he heard this word. "Sister, where did you hear this?"

"I heard it from Ating, who heard it from Brother Liang."

"..."

Ye Anping was silent for a while, then shook his head, smiling. "I swear that I won't hit on her."

"Well..." Pei Lianxue rolled her eyes and crossed her arms as she replied, "Okay, I'll trust you this once! Humph~"

Ye Anping raised his hand and gently scratched her nose, then rested his elbow on his thigh, propped up his cheek, and looked back at the river.

The green waves trembled slightly.

Suddenly a breeze blew, generating rippling circles.

Puff~~

The bobbing fish float was suddenly pulled into the water, and a force came from the fishing line, pulling the long bamboo fishing rod into a curved moon.

"Oh~ It's hooked."

As Ye Anping rose up, a fifteen-foot-long white-scaled fish jumped through the dragon gate and drilled under the sun in the sky. Then, it came back from above and accurately fell into the bamboo basket on the boat.

Plop, plop...

Ye Anping joyfully looked down into the fish basket and saw the two river fish, one black and one white, struggling and wagging their tails, fanning each other's mouths with their tails.

After a moment of silence, he sighed. "It seems that there is more than one fish caught..."

As he muttered, Ye Anping removed Gu Mingxin's right hand, full of bulging veins, from the front of the fishing line. He patted the back of the hand to comfort it before hanging it back on his waist...

...

The sun was setting.

On the streets of a small town built along the river, there were crowds of people and incessant shouts.

"Top-grade magic weapons, fair-trade for all..."

"Freshly roasted chicken..."

A woman in a black-and-white robe strolled on one side of the street, looking at the vendors on both sides with a condescending arrogance in her light-brown eyes.

The woman looked like an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenager, with long black hair tied into a horizontal "8" by a jade hairpin, rising and falling on her head in sync with her footsteps.

Zu Lingzhi looked at this small town where cultivators mixed with ordinary people, her face full of reluctance. Then, she looked at a big-breasted woman beside her, a head taller than her, and complained. "Elder Cao, do you think that this Hundred Lotus Sect's Young Master doesn't know what kind of situation he's in right now?"

Elder Cao looked at her with a smile and asked, "Hmm? Miss Zu, why do you ask that?"

"Doesn't he know that he's being watched by many people in the four regions? He actually dared to strut into the mountains to enjoy the scenery. The Great-grandfather actually asked you and me to come and guard him so that he wouldn't meet with any mishaps."

"Hehe... Who knows? But playfulness is in human's nature." Elder Cao teased and waved the horsetail whisk in her hand slightly, laughing. "If he dares to come out and enjoy himself in such a situation, it means that he has the confidence and is not afraid of being targeted."

"Confidence? From what I see, this is just a matter of ignorance, and he won't regret it until something happens."

"Miss Zu, you can't say that. I heard that Young Master Ye of the Hundred Lotus Sect had already reached the late stage of the Core Formation at the age of twenty, and he had formed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Now, it's even rumored that he has Spring Phase energy..."

Zu Lingzhi frowned in disdain and interrupted. "I was already in the late stage of the Core Formation when I was seventeen. Moreover, didn't I hear that he has dual spiritual roots? Humph~ What's so great about it?"

"He's also handsome."

"So what if he's handsome? Are there any ugly cultivators in the Immortal Family? The Face Shaping pill is useless."
