QT Cannon Fodder's Record: Dekachapter 241
🕑 Added 2023-05-21 19:15:05 +0000 UTCChp 2401: Like Entering Another World
Ning Shu lay on the ground and listened to the faint sound of the wind in her ears.
Entering this fog was like entering another world. It was a completely isolated place, yet there was a faint sound of the wind, indicating that this was a formation.
"Then what should we do now?" The woman frowned. "Yinyang Sect is really disgusting."
Ning Shu raised her head and looked at the sky.
If they couldn't walk out, then they should go up.
Ning Shu released the water dragon and said to the crowd, "Come up. Let's go out from above."
Everyone looked at the water-like dragon and stepped on it carefully. It was unexpectedly soft and was solid enough to support everyone.
The water dragon flew higher and higher. The fog progressively became thinner, until the water dragon hit a barrier.
Ning Shu guessed that this was a magic barrier. If they could break this barrier, they’d be able to go out.
The formation above their head was a complicated one. Ning Shu stared at it and studied it.
On the other side, the sect leader of the Yinyang Sect, Xiao Rou’s five senior brothers, and the sect’s supreme elder were also chasing after them.
In just a few moments, they were floating in front of them.
The sect leader’s face was sour. As he stared at Xiao Rou, who was unconscious on Yi Liang’s back, his expression became extremely dark. “Hand Xiao Rou over.”
“Keep dreaming.” Yi Liang readjusted his grip on his sister.
Ning Shu had been staring at the formation above her head. The formation was very complicated. Ning Shu, who only knew a little about formation techniques, stared so hard that she felt like her vision was blurring.
Yi Liang released a four-footed qilin, which looked majestic as it charged toward its opponents.
The qilin that Yi Liang released wasn’t as strong as Ning Shu's dragon. It was scattered after receiving a few blows.
Yi Liang released another qilin and nearly drained the spiritual energy in his body in the process.
He slapped his chest, and his heart’s blood was splattered on the qilin’s body. The qilin’s body suddenly became more solid.
With the qilin buying some time, Ning Shu stepped up her research on the formation. She began to practice visualizing the process of setting up the formation over and over again in her mind.
However, this qilin was still no match for them and dissipated in the end.
Yi Liang gritted his teeth and took out the blood soul banner. It released the black smoke that covered the sky and the sun, and their surroundings became terrifying.
Ning Shu was stunned for a moment. She didn't agree with Yi Liang's use of the blood soul banner.
But now the situation was urgent.
After they got out of here, she had to hurry up and transcend the souls in the blood soul banner. She couldn't give Yi Liang another chance to use the blood soul banner.
"Are you a demonic cultivator?" The female disciple of the Iridescent Sect looked at Yi Liang in surprise, while the other women looked at Yi Liang with wary expressions.
Yi Liang didn't answer her.
Ning Shu closed her eyes, reviewed the details of the formation, and finally found a way to break the formation.
The water dragon slammed its body into a corner of the formation. It also slammed its tail several times but failed to break the formation.
The people standing on the water dragon staggered, trying to stabilize themselves.
"Quickly change the formation! They’re about to break the formation," the sect leader shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the barrier was broken.
Yi Liang quickly took the black smoke back into the blood soul banner, and the female disciple of the Iridescent Sect directly killed the kidnapped disciple of the Yinyang Sect and pushed him off.
"Hang tight." A smile was apparent in Ning Shu’s tone. The water dragon was very fast as it shuttled between the clouds. By the time they looked back, Heaven's Gorge had already turned into a small black spot.
Everyone exhaled heavily.
After running for a while, the water dragon stopped and slowly began to descend.
Everyone jumped off the water dragon, and Ning Shu took the water dragon back into her body.
"Thank you so much," the Iridescent Sect disciple cupped her hands and said.
Ning Shu nodded.
"Let's leave now." The Iridescent Sect disciple thought for a while and took out a waist tablet to hand to Yi Liang. The waist tablet was made of jade.

Chp 2402: Aren’t You a Male Fox?
“If you need any help in the future, you can come to the Iridescent Sect to find me. I’ll try my best to help you.”
Yi Liang took the jade tablet and thanked the Iridescent Sect disciple.
“Also, you don’t seem to be a demonic cultivator. It’d be best for you not to keep that flag by your side. Otherwise, you’d likely be hunted down by some sects,” the female disciple said to Yi Liang.
Yi Liang nodded.
Immediately afterward, the women disappeared into the woods.
“I thought I wouldn’t have been able to escape,” the little fox fearfully said as he sat on the ground.
"If I had known it’d be so dangerous, I wouldn't have come."
Yi Liang put down Yi Rou, who he had been carrying on his back. He took off his clothes, and carefully laid Yi Rou down on top of them.
Ning Shu put her paw on Yi Rou's body to see if there were any tracking marks on her.
"Check if there are any marks on her clothes," Ning Shu said to Yi Liang.
Yi Liang hurriedly checked her outerwear, but he couldn’t really check her inner layers.
Ning Shu checked and found no marks on her body, but she didn’t know if there were any on her clothes.
Yi Liang finished checking Yi Rou’s outer clothes. However, he couldn’t really check her inner clothing, even if he was her brother.
“I’ll do it,” Ning Shu said.
Yi Liang: (┬＿┬)
“Aren’t you a male fox? Men and women can’t touch each other like that,” Yi Liang said.
Because Ning Shu used ventriloquism techniques to speak, her gender wasn’t distinguishable from her voice. However, her voice was indeed very low-pitched and sounded more like a male voice.
Ning Shu said calmly, "In my eyes, I don’t see any difference between men and women."
Yi Liang was suspicious but finally turned around. Ning Shu loosened Yi Rou's belt and checked her carefully.
There were no marks. Ning Shu was instead distracted by Yi Rou’s amazingly white and flawless skin.
Yi Rou was really well-raised by the Yinyang Sect.
Who knew if Yi Rou, who’d been pampered nonstop, would be able to lead a normal life?
“I’m done,” Ning Shu said.
Yi Liang turned around and fastened Yi Rou’s belt.
“Let’s go.” Ning Shu released the water dragon. Yi Liang put Yi Rou on his back and jumped onto the water dragon.
The water dragon moved quickly between the clouds. When the people on the ground inadvertently raised their heads, they saw a dragon flying by among the clouds, but it disappeared within a blink of an eye.
It felt like an illusion.
The water dragon flew for a day and a night and returned to the familiar mountain range.
Stepping on the ground again, Yi Liang laughed. He’d finally found his sister.
"Little fox, go get some food," Ning Shu said to the little red fox.
"My legs are still shaking right now, let me rest first," the little fox said in an annoyed tone.
Ning Shu said to Yi Liang, "Give me the blood soul banner."
Yi Liang hesitated. He thought about how the blood soul banner had blocked the people of the Yinyang Sect before. It was their trump card.
Ning Shu lightly reminded him, “Don’t forget, your parents are still inside that thing. Do you want your parents to suffer in it forever and never be able to reincarnate?”
Yi Liang felt like he was slapped back into reality. Thinking of his parents’ faces that had been twisted in pain, his mind immediately became clear.
“Xiao Hei, I was wrong.” Yi Liang took out the blood soul banner. He only remembered the power of the blood soul banner and forgot that his parents were still inside.
Ning Shu took the blood soul banner and then went to the side to transcend the souls inside.
Ning Shu made a simple yang gathering formation. The sun shone directly on the blood soul banner and black smoke started coming out of it.
Ning Shu closed her eyes and chanted a spell.
She hoped that before she left this world, she’d be able to finish transcending all the souls in the banner.

Chp 2403: We Have Left the Yinyang Sect
Although Ning Shu wasn’t as caring as that young monk Hui Ji, she would still put effort into solving problems that were within the range of her capability.
Not only did she want to save the suffering souls, but she also didn’t want to let Yi Liang indulge in this kind of power.
When she asked Yi Liang to hand over the blood soul banner earlier, Yi Liang had hesitated.
Yi Rou, who had been unconscious, woke up while groaning softly. Yi Liang's eyes were fixed on her.
Yi Rou opened her eyes, blocked the strong light with her hand, and then looked around.
Yi Rou was taken aback by this unfamiliar environment.
"Rourou, are you awake?" Yi Liang quickly supported Yi Rou.
"Where is this?" Yi Rou asked in confusion. She had never been out of the courtyard before, and it was the first time she saw such a big, continuous mountain range.
"Rourou, we have left the Yinyang Sect,” Yi Liang said happily.
Yi Rou’s expression became panicked and even more confused. "I... I want to go back to the Yinyang Sect." Yi Rou stood up but didn't know which direction to go in.
"Rourou, you can’t go back to that devil's lair. You can’t." Yi Liang clung to Yi Rou's arm tightly, "Those people have bad intentions towards you. You really can’t go back."
"Maybe the Yinyang Sect is really like what you said, but my master and senior brothers are very kind to me. I don't care whether they’re good or bad, because they’re always good to me," Yi Rou said.
Yi Liang: (┬＿┬)
What should he do when his sister was behaving like this?
Ning Shu was rendered speechless when she heard Yi Rou’s words.
Yi Rou was currently confused and afraid of the future.
Not everyone would be willing to change their lifestyle.
Yi Rou was used to her life in the Yinyang Sect.
This was the genius of Yi Rou’s master and her senior brothers, who cultivated Yi Rou to be a person without any agency.
She was made comfortable with being dependent and living a life surrounded by other people.
The little fox dragged a rabbit back, put down the rabbit, and said, "Make some food. I'm starving to death."
Yi Liang glanced at Yi Rou carefully. "I'm going to prepare something to eat. Rourou, Brother will take good care of you."
Yi Rou's expression was dull as if she hadn't heard Yi Liang's words.
Yi Liang cleaned up the rabbit and lit a fire to roast it.
After he roasted it, Yi Liang offered two rabbit legs to Yi Rou.
"Little Sister eat something." Yi Rou took the rabbit's legs and ate slowly.
The little fox, seeing that Yi Liang had given the parts with the most meat to someone else, shouted very dissatisfiedly, "What about me? What do I eat? I was the one who caught the rabbit."
Yi Liang split the rabbit in half. He gave half the rabbit to the little fox and the rest to Ning Shu but didn't personally have any.
"I'll go hunt again." Yi Liang stood up.
Yi Rou gave Yi Liang a rabbit leg. "You can eat it."
"Thank you, Sister." Yi Liang immediately smiled brightly and bit the leg.
Either it didn’t suit her taste, or she simply never ate much anyway, but Yi Rou hadn’t even finished eating a small rabbit leg.
Ning Shu just glanced at Yi Rou, then glanced at Yi Liang who was clearly very anxious and didn’t know what to say.
Ning Shu was still working on transcending the souls inside the blood soul banner. As for the rigid relationship between Yi Liang and Yi Rou, Ning Shu didn't want to care.
The blood soul banner was slowly emitting black smoke. Ning Shu asked Yi Liang for some fresh blood to draw a spell, and more intense black smoke came out of the blood soul banner.
After eating a little, Yi Liang took Yi Rou back to the town, where the family used to live.
"Little Sister this is where we used to live," Yi Liang stood at the door and said to Yi Rou.
Yi Rou looked at the somewhat dilapidated door and said directly, "This house is so old."
MTL Editor: Ran
Translator: Kaho
Chp 2404: Why Don’t You Help?
Yi Liang didn’t even know what to say. He just scratched his nose and opened the door.
The door creaked open, revealing no one in the yard.
It seemed like after he killed Yi Xue, no one dared to occupy this house anymore.
The yard was a bit deserted. Since it was summer, the weeds were also overgrown.
The house had been renovated by Yi Xue before, so it wasn’t all that shabby. Otherwise, it would look like a proper haunted house.
Yi Liang drew water from the well and cleaned the house.
Ning Shu looked at Yi Rou who was sitting still in the chair and asked, "Why don't you help?"
Yi Rou bit her lip and whispered, "I don’t know how to. Xiao Cui usually does these things for me."
"It’s okay, I'll clean up," Yi Liang said.
Facing Yi Rou, Yi Liang always seemed timid.
Regardless, Ning Shu didn’t feel that Yi Liang owed anything to Yi Rou.
Since Yi Rou disappeared, Yi Liang had lived a life of starvation as he guarded this house, all while harboring guilt towards her and constantly yearning for their family to reunite.
Although he eventually encountered Ning Shu, he’d suffered and experienced a lot of torment by then.
He’d gone through the trouble of traveling thousands of miles to get to the Yinyang Sect to save his sister, without even stopping for any rest.
Meanwhile, although it came at a price, Yi Rou lived the life of a princess.
Since she left the Yinyang Sect, Yi Rou only wanted to return and didn’t ask about their parents even once.
Sometimes innocence could be cruel.
The people of the Yinyang Sect were still the most hateful ones, though. They were the ones who deliberately made Yi Rou like this so that Yi Rou regarded them as her spiritual pillars.
Now that Yi Rou had left them, she felt at a loss.
“Brother, can you take me back to the Yinyang Sect? I want to bid goodbye to my master and senior brothers.” Yi Rou stared at Yi Liang with watery eyes.
Yi Liang clutched the rag tightly and was speechless for a long time.
"Brother, I beg you. After all, Master had raised me for so long. No matter what, I can’t just leave like this. My senior brothers were all also very kind to me," Yi Rou begged.
The little fox was the one to reply angrily. "We almost died there! We barely managed to escape, and now we’re going back? Are you guys tired of living?"
After taking a trip around in the Yinyang Sect, the little fox was almost frightened to the point he wet his pants. He had finally realized that his illusions were useless against those who were stronger than him, even if they were only stronger by just a little.
The little fox didn’t even want to hear anything about the Yinyang Sect right now.
“Your brother has worked so hard to rescue you, yet you want to go back. What exactly are you thinking?” The little fox nibbled at a candied fruit and stared at Yi Rou.
Yi Rou was flustered and said, “I didn’t ask for Brother to save me. I, I was living well…"
When Yi Liang heard Yi Rou's words, his body trembled from the shock. His expression was complicated and incomprehensible.
"Don't you want to live with me?" Yi Liang asked.
Yi Rou lowered her head and said nothing.
The atmosphere was awkward and tense.
Yi Liang turned around and went out to buy food.
He came back after he bought some vegetables and meat. He then went into the kitchen to cook again without saying a word.
Yi Liang cooked a table full of dishes, put a bowl of rice in front of Yi Rou, and gently said, "Rourou, I know you are just temporarily unused to this life. I know things will get better in the future."
Yi Liang took two bowls, filled them with some food, and put them in front of Ning Shu and the little fox.
Ning Shu and the little fox ate without minding the siblings’ affairs.
Yi Rou had a very small appetite. She didn’t even finish half a bowl of rice. Her mood was also not the greatest right now.
Yi Liang sighed and cleaned the table.
Ning Shu walked up to Yi Rou and asked, “What kind of cultivation method were you cultivating in the Yinyang Sect?”
MTL Editor: Ran

Chp 2405: Alluring Efflorescence Rest
Ning Shu wanted to know about what kind of cultivation methods Yi Rou cultivated in the Yinyang Sect. After pondering about it for some time, she figured it mustn’t be an offensive one.
Although Yi Rou didn’t know why the fox was asking her about her cultivation method, Yi Rou wanted the fox to take her back to the Yinyang Sect, so she honestly answered.
“I cultivated alluring efflorescence rest.”
Ning Shu: →_→
What the hell!!
She’d heard about all kinds of cultivation methods before, like the emotion-severing art and the art of the double-edged sword, but she’d never heard of this type of method before.
“Master said that this cultivation method is suitable for women.” Yi Rou couldn’t see the complicated expression on Ning Shu's furry face.
Rather than for the women, it seemed like this cultivation method was more convenient for the men that’d take the power of the women for themselves.
Ning Shu asked again, “Can you use it to attack?”
Yi Rou shook her head. "Master said that this cultivation method is only for cultivating the body and mind and that it’s not for things like violence. This is also why he and my senior brothers wouldn’t allow me to go outside.”
Ning Shu: Hahaha…
This technique was something, alright.
And Yi Rou still regarded her master and fellow disciples as good people as well.
Yi Rou squatted down and looked at Ning Shu. She began to plead, “Can you send me back to the Yinyang Sect? I’ll bid my master and senior brothers goodbye. Then, I promise I will live a good life with my brother.”
Ning Shu asked, “Do you think if you go back, they’d let you go and live with your brother? They may even kill him.”
"I, I..." Yi Rou was speechless.
“My brother is my family, but so are my master and my senior brothers,” Yi Rou said, covering her face. “I can’t bear to cut them off.”
Ning Shu also felt really exhausted. They’d been rushing around all this time and barely ever took a break.
Moreover, despite this clearly being a cultivation world, Ning Shu had yet to encounter any treasure, except for the two flame fruits, which even then came with those two cultivators that chased after her to kill her.
Every time something happened, she was always the last one to run.
Ning Shu wasn’t complaining. After all, this was what she must do. However, she felt powerless in front of Yi Rou.
Yi Rou’s master and senior brothers had too profound an influence on her.
Ning Shu, as an outsider, felt like she was being kicked in the balls. Yi Liang was also probably feeling like his descendants’ bags were being cut off.
“So I beg you, can you take me back to the Yinyang Sect? I will come back afterward.”
Ning Shu directly refused. “I won’t help you. Your brother is the one who saved me and so I consider his interests in everything. You, however, have nothing to do with me. Why should I help you?”
Yi Rou’s mouth was agape and her eyes were misted with tears. She probably had never been treated like this before, so she was a little stunned for a while.
Yi Liang, who was standing at the door, gritted his teeth and asked, “Why do you want to go back!? They harbor no good intentions toward you! They want to turn you into a cultivation furnace! Cultivation furnace! Do you understand what that means!?”
Yi Liang walked into the room, grabbed Yi Rou's arm, and shook her as if to wake her up.
Yi Rou pushed Yi Liang away. "But my master and senior brothers were very good to me. Even if they don’t harbor good intentions towards me, they never hurt me."
Ning Shu: →_→
Yi Liang grabbed his head frustratedly and angrily yelled, “If you want to leave that much, just leave, then!”
Yi Rou's white teeth bit her lip and then she left. Really... She just left.
Yi Rou opened the courtyard door and left.
Yi Liang: (┬＿┬)
He just said those words because he was angry, but she really left.
Yi Liang hurriedly ran after her.

Chp 2406: If She Wants to Go, Just Let Her
Ning Shu also went out after them. The little fox shouted in frustration, “What does she want to do? Run away? Is there something wrong with her brain?”
The little fox also ran out. With his personality, he was completely unable to get the complex and entangled ways that human beings worked.
Ning Shu caught up with Yi Liang, who was just about to stop Yi Rou, who was desperately running away.
“If she wants to go, just let her. She doesn't want to stay here anyway,” Ning Shu lightly said.
"But, but..." That was so dangerous!
"We just need to follow her. It’s a long way from the Yinyang Sect, and she may not necessarily find the way to the Yinyang Sect," Ning Shu said.
Sometimes, people must experience something by themselves before they would be able to recognize that thing for what it truly was.
Ning Shu asked Yi Liang to buy some rations, and she went to follow Yi Rou unhurriedly.
Yi Rou ran as fast as she could. However, by the time she stopped, she didn’t know where she was.
Yi Liang, who had followed her, wanted to go up to her, but Ning Shu stopped him. “Let’s just follow her from behind to protect her.
“Let your sister see the world for herself. Perhaps this way she won’t long for her master and senior brothers so much. Maybe she’d even be more independent,” Ning Shu said. Yi Rou wasn’t her sister anyway, so she didn’t feel bad for Yi Rou at all.
Yi Rou wasn’t independent in any way, whether it came to her money, thoughts, or even her own soul.
No. Yi Rou didn’t even understand the concept of money. She didn’t have any of the basic knowledge that people needed to survive.
Yi Liang nodded with difficulty.
“My god… am I destined for a life of constant hardships?” The little fox on Yi Liang's shoulder whimpered.
Yi Rou didn’t know where she was, so she could only pick a random path and start walking. Yi Liang and his party followed behind her.
Yi Liang looked at Yi Rou, who was at a loss, with heartache. When Yi Rou encountered a pedestrian, she asked if they knew the way to the Yinyang Sect.
How could ordinary people know where the Yinyang Sect was? Yi Rou asked a few other people and got the same answer each time.
Yi Rou had no choice but to walk forward, clutching her stomach. She’d eaten very little, and after walking for a long time, she was now parched and exhausted.
It wasn’t that cultivators didn’t eat. They would just often use fasting pills to solve the issue of food so that they could prevent their bodies from being polluted by mortal food.
However, considering Yi Rou’s current strength, it was impossible for her not to eat.
Yi Liang wanted to go forward, but Ning Shu blocked Yi Liang. "Let her go."
"But..." How could Yi Liang bear to see his sister suffer like this?
“Is the current situation anywhere close to a worst-case scenario?" Ning Shu asked.
Yi Liang sighed and put the rations in his hand back.
Yi Rou walked on with much difficulty. She had never even been out of her courtyard before, let alone walked this much.
Yi Rou hammered her leg. She encountered a small stream. Her mouth was dry and the sun was hot. Yi Rou felt dizzy and didn't think about anything when she saw the water. She just immediately started scooping it up with her hands and drank it.
After drinking enough water, Yi Rou sat down against the tree.
Yi Rou rested for a while, then started to hurry again. It was dark and she had yet to find a place to rest.
Yi Rou had no chance but to curl up and lean against a tree.
There were sounds of rustling around, as well as strange bird noises. Yi Rou couldn't sleep at all. She was hungry, and she was scared.
Yi Liang watched from nearby. He kept watching her as Ning Shu continued working, as usual, to transcend the souls in the blood soul banner.
Occasionally, she’d also walk around to see if there were any treasures nearby. Since she first entered this world, she’d had to run around every day, and yet she’d found nothing.
What Ning Shu hoped most now was to encounter world origin powers. She wandered around a few times and encountered only a few spirit grass that were mediocre in quality.
It was finally dawn, and Yi Rou hurriedly continued on her journey.
Although she didn’t rest well, she hadn’t been attacked by beasts, either.
MTL Editor: Ran
Translator: Kaho
Chp 2407: No Choice but to Go Forward
All the beasts that were going to attack Yi Rou had actually been dealt with by Yi Liang. Otherwise, how could there not be any beasts attacking her? She was full of human flavor.
Especially considering that since she was a cultivator, she had a special smell and spiritual energy on her body, which were both things that monsters liked.
Yi Rou hadn’t eaten much for nearly a day and a night. If she didn’t have the support of the spiritual energy in her body, she would’ve collapsed.
Yi Rou walked on. Even though she didn't know where to go, she had no choice but to go forward, because she couldn't find the way back.
Luckily, Yi Rou found a small town. She hurried into the town and saw some steaming buns on a bun stall.
Seeing the steamed bun, Yi Rou’s eyes brightened. She grabbed a steamed bun and without a thought, stuffed it into her mouth.
“What are you doing!? Are you a robber? Give me my money!” The bun stall owner grabbed Yi Rou by the collar.
Yi Rou was really hungry. Even with someone grabbing her collar, she stuffed the bun into her mouth.
Yi Liang's entire body was trembling. He couldn't help but walk towards Yi Rou.
The little fox said, "Let your sister handle it herself. From the look of it, your sister is even more ignorant about the ways of the world than me."
Yi Liang closed his eyes, breathed rapidly, and simply refused to look.
"Pay me, pay me!"
Yi Rou swallowed with much difficulty. Her expression clearly showed her confusion. “Pay you what?”
In the Yinyang Sect, she could eat whatever she wanted, and no one ever asked her for money. The bun didn’t even taste that good.
“Pay me! You won’t be able to leave today if you don’t pay me.” The stall owner held Yi Rou tightly.
Yi Rou was dazed and at a loss. She just apologized again and again. "I'm sorry. I’m sorry, please just let me go."
"What do you mean you’re sorry? Pay me!"
At this point, a little ruffian passed by. His eyes lit up as he saw Yi Rou, and he swaggered over.
The young ruffian spat, then asked the shop owner, “How much does she owe? I’ll pay for it.”
"Five copper coins."
“And here I thought it’d be some great sum.” The young ruffian threw five copper coins to the stall owner, pulled Yi Rou with him, then left.
Yi Liang followed them with an ashen face.
Yi Rou thanked the young ruffian repeatedly. Meanwhile, the young ruffian looked her up and down while touching his chin.
His face looked full of malice, and Yi Rou couldn’t help but tightly grip her clothes.
She felt scared and helpless inwardly. She missed her master and senior brothers now more than ever.
She missed her life in Yinyang Sect, where she could play on a swing under the bright sunshine. She missed living in a yard that was full of flowers, and she missed also the breeze that’d carry the fragrance of those flowers.
She missed the times when her life was beautiful.
“Are you hungry? I’ll take you to eat,” the young ruffian said to Yi Rou.
Yi Rou's eyes lit up. "Thank you."
Was it really that easy to trick her?
The young ruffian really wanted to whistle proudly.
The young ruffian took Yi Rou to a brothel, ordered a table of dishes, and went to the side to ask the pimp how much she’d be worth.
The young ruffian sold Yi Rou for twenty taels of silver.
After the young ruffian came out of the brothel, Yi Liang broke the tendons of his hands and feet.
Yi Liang squatted on the courtyard wall of the brothel. Looking at his sister, he really wanted to rush in.
But Yi Liang endured it.
For a moment, he felt really cold.

Chp 2408: Still Determined to Return to the Yinyang Sect
Yi Rou suffered so much, but she was still determined to return to the Yinyang Sect. It made Yi Liang feel so much anger and resentment, yet he still couldn’t bring himself to not care about her.
Due to her ignorance, Yi Rou was locked up by the pimp, who also checked her body. When the pimp found out that Yi Rou was a virgin, the pimp became even happier.
The brothel’s pimp saw that Yi Rou had fair skin and good looks, so she decided to auction her first night with some other women two days later.
On the day of the auction, Yi Rou was dressed up beautifully and pushed onto the stage. She was auctioned off like a commodity.
From the start to finish, Yi Rou was dumbfounded. She looked at the men going crazy under the stage in amazement.
These people were extremely ugly. Even though she didn’t know what was happening, these people made her very sick.
Yi Rou’s ignorant and naive look was a favorite among these men. They bid over her frantically.
This world was really as dangerous as her master and senior brothers told her.
Yi Rou would rather stay in a small yard for the rest of her life, and only occasionally talk to her brothers, instead of facing so many people.
Yi Rou saw the men under the stage, whose faces were full of oil and spittle. The appearance of these people wasn't comparable to that of her elder brother, let alone to her senior brothers.
Even her master was a middle-aged handsome man.
Yi Liang was lying on the roof, where he had taken out some tiles from. As he watched his sister being auctioned off below, his fists creaked.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but tut. This heroine was so ill-fated.
During the auction, someone leaned into the pimp’s ear and told her something. The pimp’s face immediately changed. She directly said that Yi Rou was no longer up for bids, and dragged her away.
The pimp dragged Yi Rou to another room regardless of the protest from the audience.
In the room, stood a man dressed in brocade.
The man turned around and looked at Yi Rou. "Junior Sister!"
"Senior Brother!" Yi Rou's tears immediately came out. She hugged Song Han. The corners of Song Han’s mouth hooked up, and he patted Yi Rou’s back lightly. “Didn’t you go with your brother? Why are you here?”
“I wanted to come back and bid you guys and Master goodbye, so I ran away.” Yi Rou’s voice was shaking as she cried.
“Senior Brother, why are you here?” Yi Rou withdrew from Song Han's arms and asked while she wiped her tears.
“I’m here to find you. This brothel is owned by the Yinyang Sect, so I was resting here. Master and all your other senior brothers went out to find you. I never imagined that I’d encounter you first.”
Yi Liang on the roof: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
Ning Shu: …
The storyline was flying off the rails now.
This place was so far away from the Yinyang Sect, so how could Song Han appear here??
Was this the natural attraction between the male and female leads???
To be able to encounter each other even in this situation!
Ning Shu looked at Yi Liang, whose face was as dark as the night, and silently observed a moment of heartache for Yi Liang.
"Xiao Rou, do you want to go back to the Yinyang Sect with me? Master is very worried about you," Song Han asked. Pinching Yi Rou's face, he continued, "How did you lose so much weight in just a few days?"
Yi Rou's throat was sore, and she felt very aggrieved when she heard her senior brother's words.
"No! Rourou can’t go back to the Yinyang Sect with you." Yi Liang couldn't endure it anymore and jumped into the room through the window.
When he saw Yi Liang, Song Han put Yi Rou behind him, and sneered, "You keep saying that we don't have good intentions for Xiao Rou, then what about you? You saw your sister being sold in the brothel but didn’t show up. What were you doing? How are you, as an older brother, any better?”
“I wouldn’t have let Rourou get hurt,” Yi Liang angrily said.
Song Han sneered and turned his head. “Your brother has been following you this entire time. He’s been watching as you suffer and get bullied, while you were hungry, cold, and scared.”
“You! Don’t twist the truth!” Yi Liang was so angry that he nearly died from it.
Yi Rou asked Yi Liang, “Brother, have you been following me this whole time?”
“He must have. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared in front of us so suddenly,” Song Han said as he smiled and raised his chin to stare at Yi Liang provocatively.

Chp 2409: Many Brothers-In-Laws
This was obviously a meeting between a girl’s brother and his brother-in-law, but it was so tense.
Wait, no. Yi Liang had many brothers-in-law.
Although the atmosphere wasn't right, Ning Shu still wanted to silently light a candle for Yi Liang.
It seemed that Yi Liang was about to embark on the road of a big bad villain, a destroyer of the harmonious and beautiful sexual life of his sister and brothers-in-law.
This storyline!??
Yi Liang was extremely irritated. He was following Yi Rou, but he was by no means like Song Han said. He wasn’t purposefully watching his sister suffer.
But how could he explain himself?
"Xiao Rou is the junior sister we dote on in every possible way. But how did you treat her? You let her trek through mountains and rivers by herself. You let her be scared and deceived into a brothel. Is this how you carry out your responsibility as a brother?"
Dote on in every possible way?
Ning Shu's heart really wasn't pure anymore…
Yi Rou had only walked a couple dozen steps compared to what Yi Liang took. To find Yi Rou, how much bitterness and suffering did he endure?
Yi Liang opened his mouth several times but didn't say a word.
Song Han sneered, grabbed Yi Rou's waist, and flew out of the room. He then released a magic artifact, stepped on it, and flew away.
Ning Shu released a water dragon and said to the stunned Yi Liang, “Come on. They’re getting away.”
Yi Liang quickly jumped on the water dragon.
The evening wind was blowing in his ears. He felt a little cold. Ning Shu heard Yi Liang sighing behind her. “Is it because I can’t give Rourou the life she wants? Is that why Rourou Is like this?”
Ning Shu was silent for a while before she said, "Yi Liang, you are you, and your sister is your sister. Apart from having the same bloodline, you two are completely different individuals. You’re not required to do anything for her.
“Everyone has their own destiny. It’s clear that you’d gotten involved to change your sister’s destiny, and she didn’t like that change,” Ning Shu bluntly said.
“But I can’t just watch as she jumps into a fire pit,” Yi Liang firmly replied.
“Well, she doesn’t think of it as a fire pit,” Ning Shu lightly said. Her indifferent tone went into Yi Liang’s heart like a sharp knife.
Some people’s greatest weakness was that they could not bear to hear the truth.
They always felt like they were right, and would stake everything they had for one thing. They’d completely ignore all opposition and admonitions from those around them.
If they were lucky, they might get to have a good life, but most people who lived like this would only become fuel to a burning tragedy.
Especially when they were already desperate.
This was what the current Yi Rou was like.
The water dragon flew very fast, but it came to a screeching halt in front of Yi Rou and Song Han, who stood still in the air.
"Rourou, come home with me! You can’t be with these people," Yi Liang shouted to Yi Rou. The evening wind carried his voice away, drifting into the forest.
Yi Rou only lowered her head and said nothing.
Yi Liang suddenly let out a long sigh, seemingly defeated. The emotions contained in the sigh were so complicated that Ning Shu almost laughed out loud.
She didn’t know why. She just wanted to laugh.
"Yi Rou, do you really want to go with him?" Yi Liang looked at Yi Rou.
Yi Rou didn't notice the change in how Yi Liang addressed her. It used to be Rourou or Little Sister, but now he called Yi Rou by her full name.
"I, I..." Yi Rou stammered and faltered for a long time. She couldn’t say what she wanted, but she was still grasping Song Han’s clothes tightly, which was a clear enough answer.
Song Han curled his lips into a smile.
Yi Liang said, "Whether you want to go back with me or not, I'll take you away. Our parents didn’t give you heavenly spiritual roots just for you to become a cultivation furnace for others."
"Brother!" Yi Rou couldn't help shouting.

Chp 2410: I Shall Completely Wipe Out the Yinyang Sect!
Yi Liang indifferently said, “Even if you loathe me for it, I won’t allow you to return to the Yinyang Sect.
“You, I’ll definitely kill you!” Yi Liang’s eyes landed on Song Han. "I swear on my life that I shall completely wipe out the Yinyang Sect!"
Ning Shu: Wipe out the Yinyang Sect!?
Yi Liang's villain temperament was getting stronger and stronger.
Song Han’s expression was mocking, but his nervousness was still apparent. Whether it was intentional or not, his eyes swept over Ning Shu, obviously thinking of her water dragon.
"Brother, don't do this, please!" Yi Rou stood in front of Song Han. "They’re not trying to make me into a furnace. They really treat me very well."
Yi Liang didn't say a word and just released the mighty qilin to rush toward Song Han.
Song Han pushed away Yi Rou from in front of him and then fought the qilin.
Yi Rou was pushed to the ground, and she was extremely worried when she saw her brother fighting with Song Han.
Ning Shu walked to Yi Rou's side, and Yi Rou hurriedly said to Ning Shu, "Hurry up and stop them!”
Ning Shu was very curious about Yi Rou’s thoughts, and asked, "Do you like Song Han?"
“I do. I like my master and all my senior brothers,” Yi Rou said. “They’re my family, just like Brother is.”
Ning Shu felt a little stupid. Why was she looking for logic in this np world?? Everything was based on pleasures of the flesh here.
Whether it was martial siblings or master and disciple…
There existed no etiquette, honor, humility, or shame here, only desire.
Ning Shu pictured a hot scene in her mind.
“Your brother’s doing this for your own good. The Yinyang Sect isn’t as beautiful as you think it is. You’ve been able to stay completely fine until now because of your spiritual roots,” Ning Shu lightly said.
Yi Rou didn't reply. She was staring nervously at the two fighting.
Ning Shu suddenly stretched out a paw and slapped it on Yi Rou's belly. A slight crisp sound came from Yi Rou's belly.
Yi Rou frowned. She felt a faint pain in her stomach, but it was within the range she could bear. It also came and went quickly.
Yi Rou didn't pay much attention to her stomach and asked, "What did you do?"
Ning Shu calmly replied, "It was nothing, I wanted to knock you out, but I didn't succeed."
Yi Rou immediately moved away from Ning Shu.
The little fox slowly walked to Ning Shu's side, "If you were going to knock her out, why didn’t you hit her on the head? Why hit her stomach?"
"Just eat your candied fruit." Ning Shu stared at Yi Liang and Song Han, who were fighting.
As a direct disciple of the Yinyang Sect’s sect leader, Song Han naturally possessed a lot of magic artifacts. He had already taken out several magic artifacts.
Meanwhile, Yi Liang fought Song Han only with his bare hands and a qilin made of spiritual energy.
Yi Liang’s expression was flat, but his attacks were extremely vicious. It was almost as if he had thrown any regard he had for his own life out of the window, and now only wished to drag his opponent down to hell with him.
Yi Liang no longer cared whether he’d get hurt or not. This put Song Han at a disadvantage for a while.
Yi Liang’s heart had been holding back so much anger. Since he obviously couldn’t vent it out on Yi Rou, he had no choice but to vent it on Song Han.
Yi Liang hated that the Yinyang Sect had caused the death of his parents. He hated that his younger sister also still believed in them.
His sister didn’t even care about what he had to say.
Yi Liang’s heart was filled with anger and he desperately needed to vent. He had even started to wonder what all his years of effort had been for.
In other words, Yi Liang was starting to inwardly doubt everything.
Ning Shu stared at Yi Liang. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was trembling. His expression was full of pain and hideous. He beat Song Han back and caused him to vomit blood.
