Chapter 768: An Lin’s Major Obstacle

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Four Nine Immortal Sect.

Bai Ling, Liu Qianhuan, Xiao Ze, and Little Lang were all busy with recruiting disciples.

As sect leader, An Lin roamed around the sect leisurely and indulged himself in the beautiful mountains and waterscape.

Generally speaking, bad*ss sect leaders didn’t need to busy themselves with all the trivial matters of the sect.

Much like how they were portrayed in movies and novels, sect leaders would only appear when earth-shattering events occurred. They would turn the tide with their impressive powers, and they would also seize the opportunity to flex in front of others.

As for the remaining times, god knows what these sect leaders were doing!

They could simply tell others that they were cultivating in seclusion!

If they were caught partying outside, then they could simply say that they were training themselves in the mortal world. Others wouldn’t doubt their words. In fact, they would think them even more profound and enigmatic.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan held hands as they wandered around, and they eventually arrived atop the Full Moon Mountain.

An Lin could see the entire sect from the mountaintop, and he could also see the endless stretch of green grassland far off in the distance.

A feeling of pride instantly welled up inside him. He pointed at the vast stretch of palaces and buildings below and turned toward the beautiful female beside him. “Xiaolan, look down the mountain. What do you see?”

Xu Xiaolan blinked hesitantly and answered, “The… territory of our Four Nine Immortal Sect?”

“Wrong! My Queen, that’s the land that this Emperor has conquered for you!” An Lin chortled.

Xu Xiaolan pursed her dainty pink lips. “You’re becoming naughtier by the day!” she said in exasperation.

“My Queen, don’t you like it?” A look of grief emerged across An Lin’s face.

Xu Xiaolan tried her best to contain her laughter. Her mesmerizing eyes had already squinted into adorable crescents.

She cooperated with An Lin’s act and spoke in a pleasant and gentle voice, “This concubine doesn’t care how much land Your Majesty can conquer. She only wishes for Your Majesty to know that regardless of rain, hail, or shine, there will always be an unwavering heart that stays warm for Your Majesty.”

An Lin was dazed to the spot. He never expected for Xu Xiaolan to provide him with such a perfect answer.

Although Xiaolan’s answer was teasing in nature, An Lin could hear the sincerity behind her words.

He recalled that day; he recalled everything that Xu Xiaolan did for him as he was wavering on the brink of life and death.

Regardless of rain, hail, or shine, there will always be an unwavering heart that stayed warm for him…

An Lin was stuck in a trance as he gazed at the female before him. There were all kinds of feelings and emotions in this world, yet which of them could compare to the radiant and enchanting smile of the female before him?

“Are you in awe of my quick-wittedness?” Xu Xiaolan found An Lin’s dazed expression hilarious.

“Don’t speak! Kiss me!” An Lin shuffled over.

It was Xu Xiaolan’s turn to be dazed.

Their lips met at this moment.

This kiss was sweeter than the sweetest nectar, and it was an experience that surpassed countless matters of the world…

After a moment, the two of them sat down on a boulder that stretched over the clifftop and gazed at the vast and pleasant scenery in the distance.

The clear blue sky, the pure white clouds, the rolling green hills… These were all monotonous in color, yet as a whole, they appeared especially pleasing and attractive to the eye.

“The scenery is so beautiful.” Xu Xiaolan sighed.

She sat leaning back with her hands supporting her from behind, and she was facing toward the sky. Her long hair billowed in the gentle breeze, making her appear graceful and otherworldly.

An Lin stared at her for a few seconds before remarking, “Even the beautiful spring scenery pales in comparison to your smile.”

Xu Xiaolan shot a sideways glance at An Lin. “Would you cut it out already?”

“Honest people all speak this frankly,” An Lin said seriously.

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

The two of them continued to chit-chat.

Xu Xiaolan’s rank had already reached the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage, and her speed of ranking up was phenomenal.

Perhaps this had to do with her Vermilion Bird Bloodline. After all, that was the essence bloodline of a holy beast. Combined with Xiaolan’s supreme talent, it was only normal that she was so bad*ss.

Xu Xiaolan’s rank was the same as An Lin’s now, and she could also overtake him at any moment.

This put An Lin under a lot of pressure. He felt that he needed to rediscover his masculine might. After all, he, An Ritian, couldn’t be reduced to be Xiaolan’s b*tch, right?

How should I rediscover it?

An Lin focused his attention on his sea of vital energy.

All this had to do with An Kirin.

He remembered that the closest he came to success was when he formed a magnificent cloak using Liu Qianhuan’s lightning tribulation.

An Kirin was like his small electric motor. Any ability that he could use, An Lin would also be able to use. For example, the Golden Void Lightning and the White Lightning that possessed that devastating sword intent.

He could occasionally borrow the power of the White Flame Vermilion Bird as well. However, that vermilion bird was insanely haughty, and he would often be unable to draw on its power.

As for the miniature whale, which An Kirin treated as his mount, this was a freeloader who didn’t pay its rent. An Lin couldn’t do anything about it, and he could only allow it to swim freely around his sea of vital energy.

“Xiaolan, do you still remember the golden child that I spat out when I was facing lightning tribulations that day?” An Lin suddenly asked.

“Sure do. An Kirin, yeah? I was the one who named him. Wasn’t he eaten by you?” Xu Xiaolan blinked in curiosity.

An Lin’s face twitched. “I didn’t eat him,” he corrected solemnly. “I swallowed him into my sea of vital energy!”

Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips. “Same thing.”

“I want to give him an item of clothing right now because he’s been running around my sea of vital energy naked this entire time. I can’t get used to it! Do you have any ideas?”

Xu Xiaolan: “…

“At that time, we all saw An Kirin naked. I don’t recall you saying that you were uncomfortable with it.

“What, so you’ve suddenly become uncomfortable after seeing him run naked around your sea of vital energy by himself?”

Xu Xiaolan was slightly amused.

An Lin was speechless. In all honesty, he didn’t feel any sense of oddity seeing An Kirin run around his sea of vital energy naked. After all, he was just a little kid. Running around naked was called innocence! It was called authenticity!

An Lin could only tell Xu Xiaolan the truth. “Fine, I need to give An Kirin an item of clothing to teach him the virtue of shame and humility. By doing so, I’ll be able to rank up to the Soul Formation Final Stage.”

Xu Xiaolan was stunned. “An Lin, I’ve realized that your method of cultivation is straying further and further from the correct path!”

An Lin had a look of despair. “I don’t want to do this either. I can’t think of any other method, and I’ve already been stuck at this rank for almost a year. What else can I do…”

“Chill… It’s only been a year. Some cultivators are stuck at the rank of the Soul Formation Stage for thousands of years. Rushing yourself might prove to be detrimental instead. Take it slowly…” Xu Xiaolan waved her hands and gestured that this was nothing unusual.

An Lin shook his head. “No can do! If I can’t find a way to rank up, then I’ll feel uncomfortable all over. If I can’t rank up a stage a year, then what’s the point of cultivating?”

Xu Xiaolan: “…

“Sometimes I feel like the students at our university are really cultured and inclusive.”

An Lin understood the meaning behind her words. “Hehe, if one isn’t powerful enough, they’ll be beaten if they try to flex. If a supremely powerful individual tries to flex, however, they’ll attract a large group of fans instead!”

Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. “Even if we fight, I won’t be able to defeat you!”

“Correct!” An Lin chuckled. “So, Xiaolan, what ideas do you have to help me break through this obstacle?”

“None! I’ve never raised a kid before, much less raise one in my sea of vital energy,” Xu Xiaolan snapped. “Investigate it yourself!”

An Lin grabbed onto Xu Xiaolan’s hand. “Come on, don’t be like this. Help me, please?”

Xu Xiaolan was stunned. She looked An Lin up and down with her pretty eyes and exclaimed, “An Lin, you’re wheedling up to me?”

An Lin: “…”

Yeh… Why was he wheedling up to Xu Xiaolan?

Gasp… This… Was this still how An Ritian should behave?

Was it because Xu Xiaolan’s aura was too strong, or was it because his might was too weak?

An Lin suddenly turned toward Xu Xiaolan and used his fingers to tilt up her slender chin. He put on a sinister smile and said, “Woman, you must come up with an idea for me. Otherwise, this Sect Leader will be unhappy!”

Xu Xiaolan: “???”
