The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Pei Lianxue suddenly remembered the "Xiyue" mentioned by her brother in Wuxi Town and felt a little uneasy again.

What if it turned out to be, "I often envied the Hundred Lotus Sect's Young Master, who was as as a leaf, and even the heavens liked him and gifted him with the company of a sunset moon?"

And it's not just Miss Xiyue.

Now, there was also... Miss Yu Die...

Thinking of this, Pei Lianxue's eyes suddenly became cold.

Xiyue was fine, but the main issue was that Feng Yu Die...

"Tsk..."

She didn't know if her brother had thought about marriage yet. Although he turned fifteen last year, there was still no sign of marriage. All day long, he was only interested in cultivating and practicing with the sword! Oh, and beating his little sister! Although he couldn't do that anymore.

Thinking of all this, Pei Lianxue remembered that it would be her birthday in a little while.

Her fifteenth birthday, the age of maturity.

A girl could marry at the age of fifteen, and this rule applied to both commoners and cultivators.

In the past, on her birthday, her brother would come early in the morning to wish her happy birthday and give her presents. Last year, he gave her a beautiful potted plant.

She wondered what he would give her for her coming-of-age birthday this year.

Maybe he would give himself to her as a present~~

Maybe her brother made up that "Xiyue" name to surprise her. In fact, he wanted to wait for her birthday and show up wearing a festive red robe, stepping into her room, and saying, "Sister, you've finally reached maturity. I've been waiting for this day for more than ten years! Quickly, let's go get married!"

But... what if that "Xiyue" was not made up by her brother?

In a short time, Pei Lianxue's expression changed seven or eight times; first, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, then she became disappointed, her eyes turned cold, then she smiled again, then was lost again.

Xiao Yunluo was puzzled as she watched her expression change.

"Sister Pei, what are you thinking?"

"Ah...it's nothing." Pei Lianxue quickly lowered her head, throwing away the sweet and sour fantasies in her mind. After a pause, she suddenly asked, "Sister Xiao, what was it like when you reached maturity?"

"When I reached maturity?" Xiao Yunluo paused, but suddenly her eyes widened.

She always thought that Pei Lianxue was about the same age as her, maybe even a bit older. After all, she was so powerful.

"You're not yet of age?"

"I still have three months until then."

"..."

Xiao Yunluo was shocked again and fell silent. After thinking for a while, she said, "On the day I reached maturity, the Black Star Sect held a big banquet, and the Shadow Moon Sword Sect Young Master, the Young Master of the Wind and Rain Island, and the princes of the Cold Sky Country, all came and gave me lots of presents."

"Wow, so awesome!" Pei Lianxue looked envious.

Seeing her impressed, Xiao Yunluo put her hands on her hips and puffed her chest out. "I am the young lady of the Black Star Sect, of course my coming-of-age day would be grand."

Looking at Pei Lianxue's expression, Xiao Yunluo couldn't help but raise the stakes and said, "But it was actually quite annoying."

"What was annoying?"

"I had to talk to a lot of people, and I received a lot of love letters that day. Many Patriarchs wanted to marry their sons to me, it really was troublesome. Those people were clinging to me, pretending in front of me."

Pei Lianxue tilted her head. "Pretending?"

"Like, they were showing off reciting some poems in front of me, or deliberately going to a place where I could see them and practicing with the sword, trying to get my attention. They were all especially good at pretending."

"Ah, so it's like that."

Xiao Yunluo's expression said, "Come on! Worship your Sister Xiao!" but after a moment of silence, she suddenly bowed her head shyly and asked in a mosquito-like voice. "Sister Pei, we... are friends, right?"

Pei Lianxue nodded half-heartedly. "Well, yeah."

"... Then can I call you Lianxue? And you call me Yunluo."

"Well... If you don't mind, Sister Xiao, I'm fine with it."

Hearing that Pei Lianxue agreed, Xiao Yunluo was overjoyed and pointed her finger at her.

"Lianxue..."

Then, she pointed at her own face. "Yunluo..."

"Lianxue, Yunluo, Lianxue, Yunluo... my friend... hehehe---"

After laughing for a while, Xiao Yunluo felt that she had pretty much rested her legs and feet and stood up.

"Come on, let's go back. When you get home, call that idiot, and I'll take you guys to the Black Star Sect's town square."

"Ah. Okay."

With that, they went their separate ways back to the compounds where they lived.

Pei Lianxue went into the house, changed into clean clothes, and then went to Feng Yu Die's bedroom to tell her about Xiao Yunluo's treat.

However, in the bedroom, there was no Feng Yu Die, only a few unfinished roasted chickens on the table.

"Where is this girl? Where did she go instead of recuperating in bed?"

She didn't think much of it and simply went back to her room to meditate and rest.

After a while, Xiao Yunluo, who had also changed her clothes, came to get her. Hearing that Feng Yu Die was not there, she did not care, and the two of them went to the market alone on their flying swords.

...

Black Star marketplace was bustling with activity as usual.

There were many things on the streets that Pei Lianxue had never seen before, like the granny who entered the Grand View Garden.*

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yunluo took it upon herself to act as a tour guide and introduced to her the special products of the Black Star market with a complacent face.

Whenever they entered a shop, the owner would respectfully address Xiao Yunluo as "Young Miss", and she also assumed the posture of a very wealthy person, asking Pei Lianxue to tell her what she liked and she would gift it to her.

Pei Lianxue was too embarrassed to say everything she wanted, but since Xiao Yunluo kept asking, she said that she wanted to eat the candied cranberries sold on the street.

She thought it would be cheap, but when Xiao Yunluo checked out and saw that a piece was twelve spirit stones, she didn't want it anymore. However, Xiao Yunluo still bought it.

Over the past ten years, she had saved a lot of spirit stones.

When she left for the Black Star Sect, her brother mentioned that things were more expensive there and told her to bring everything she had in her little piggy bank.

Pei Lianxue always thought that the spirit stones she had saved for ten years should be enough for a long time, but now, after wandering around the market for a while, she felt that if she didn't save some money, her little piggy bank might not be able to last a month.

She held the candied cranberries in her hand but couldn't bring herself to eat it.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yunluo asked. "What is it? Didn't you want to eat it? Why aren't you eating?"

"Ah... Why are the things here so expensive? In the Hundred Lotus Sect, this bunch of candied cranberries only costs two spirit stones. Why are they selling it for twelve?"

"Huh? Two spirit stones? That cheap?" Xiao Yunluo looked at the candied cranberries in her hand, dumbfounded. "I remember this thing has always been sold for twelve."
