Chapter 2007: Xiaolan Is Back

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

Vermilion Bird Bing Xin’s cries rang out across Yue Tong City.

One of the six high and mighty Vermilion Bird Sages was now being used like a rooster to announce the arrival of a new day.

The light of the morning sun spilled over the windowsill and shone down upon the meditating An Lin.

The door to his room was gently opened.

Before he had even opened his eyes, a pair of soft lips pressed against his forehead, bringing with them a sense of moist warmth.

An Lin inhaled that familiar, fragrant scent and opened his eyes.

He was greeted by the sight of a woman in a jade dress with her hands folded behind her back. She wore a faint smile on her face, and her hair spilled down to her waist like a black waterfall. She had an ethereal air about her, and her voice was delightful.

“It’s twenty-year-old Xiaolan bidding you good morning today.”

Her impossibly gorgeous features were within An Lin’s reach, and her delectable scent wafted around the tip of his nose.

An Lin stared blankly at the woman before him.

His Xiaolan was finally back!

“How do I look?” Xu Xiaolan was a little smug as she tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear. She was just about to say something when An Lin wound his arm around her waist.

“Hey! What are you doing? Hmm…”

Her luscious lips were sealed.

An Lin gave Xu Xiaolan an enthusiastic good morning kiss.

Their lips only parted after Xu Xiaolan was blushing like a beetroot and her body had gone slightly limp.

Xu Xiaolan quickly took a backward step with an embarrassed blush on her face. “That was, that was way too enthusiastic…”

“I’m celebrating your return!” An Lin was very elated. “Furthermore, I feel like your aura has become even more ethereal and difficult to detect. Is this because you’ve become more badass?”

“Don’t be so crude in your speech.” Xu Xiaolan harrumphed.

“Xiaolan, have you become more powerful?” An Lin amended.

“Hmm… The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence has already completely fused together with me, so my power has indeed increased significantly. As for exactly how powerful I am now, I don’t know,” Xu Xiaolan replied before glaring at An Lin. “Keep your hands to yourself…”

Xu Xiaolan was currently being made to sit on An Lin’s leg.

An Lin’s hands simply couldn’t help but inch toward some forbidden areas, and he only sheepishly halted his advances after seeing Xiaolan’s cold glare.

He asked with a concerned expression, “It’s great that you’re back to normal now, but do you feel like there are any abnormalities with your body? Are you feeling alright?”

“I feel quite good,” Xu Xiaolan replied.

“Really? I’ll be the judge of that!” An Lin’s eyes glowed as he reached toward Xu Xiaolan again.

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Slap slap slap!

An Lin’s perverted paws were slapped away.

“What are you doing? I’m just concerned about you.” An Lin’s expression was filled with genuine concern. “Xiaolan, are you feeling alright?”

Again?!

Xu Xiaolan’s expression darkened as she harrumphed coldly. “I don’t feel that great now.”

“Really? Then I really do need to examine you!” An Lin suddenly became excited as he reached for her body once again.

Slap slap slap!

“Ah… spare me, Xiaolan! No! Not in the face!”

Bam bam bam… slap slap slap… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…

Xu Xiaolan proved with her actions that she was as fit as a horse.

The two of them flirted in the room for a while longer before striding out, hand in hand.

“It feels so good to be young…” Xu Xiaolan took a deep breath and sighed with emotion as she looked up at the morning sky.

She was so beautiful that everything in this world paled in comparison.

“We are going to be thrust in the fiercest battle soon.” An Lin smiled.

Xu Xiaolan nodded. “Indeed…”

After joining the Heaven Crushing Sect, they had to fight for the heaven crushing project. The Heaven Mending Sect could continue to refrain from participating in this war as the Heavenly Human Tribe and Heavenly Gods couldn’t do anything to them. However, the Heaven Crushing Sect wouldn’t be able to do the same thing.

The Heaven Crushing Sect posed a threat to the very core of the Heavenly Dao. As such, the Heavenly Human Tribe and Heavenly Gods could attack the Heaven Crushing Sect all they wanted.

An Lin was the third heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crushing Sect, and he had already identified the path he wanted to follow. If he wanted to live, then he had to fight for the Heaven Crushing Sect!

“The Land of Eternal Light is the core of the heaven crushing formation. If the paramount Heavenly Gods are going to attack, then that must be the first place they attack,” Xu Xiaolan speculated.

An Lin smiled. “We can take some pressure off their shoulders. If the Heavenly Earth God dares to go to the Land of Eternal Light, then we’ll conquer the Central Heavenly Gate, so he won’t be able to go anywhere!”

“But what if the Heavenly Sea God comes to attack us?” Xu Xiaolan was quite concerned about this notion.

“Well…” An Lin hesitated upon hearing this. He couldn’t tell her that that wasn’t a concern as the Heavenly Sea God was on their side!

“If the Heavenly Sea God comes, we’ll just take one paramount Heavenly God each,” An Lin replied.

Xu Xiaolan blushed upon hearing this. “An Lin… you’re overestimating me!”

An Lin smiled. “Every badass man has a powerful woman behind him.”

“As well as a bunch of not very powerful women, right?” Xu Xiaolan asked.

An Lin’s legs trembled upon hearing this. “Xiaolan, my love for you is true!”

“I wasn’t talking about you.” Xu Xiaolan chuckled with amusement.

The two of them conversed joyfully with one another and arrived atop the city wall of Yue Tong City.

Yue Tong City’s city wall was over a kilometer in height, and from that vantage point, one could see an expanse of pure white where the horizon met the earth. That was where the White Nectar Sea was situated. If one was to look even further, they would see a divine tree extending all the way into the heavens with clouds and mist obscuring its tip.

“The Central Heavenly Gate should be at the top of that divine tree.” An Lin narrowed his eyes.

“What will the Heavenly Gods do if we destroy all of the Heavenly Gates?” Xu Xiaolan was curious.

An Lin replied with a smile, “I don’t know, but it will definitely be a very heavy blow to them.”

Xu Xiaolan laid a hand on the hilt of her Dragon Sparrow Sword. “How about we take down the Central Heavenly Gate before the enemy becomes aware of my true power?”

An Lin immediately shook his head upon hearing this. “That’s not a good idea. I can sense that the Heavenly Earth God is not the only thing that poses a threat to me on that divine tree.”

“You mean there are other paramount Heavenly Gods there?!” Xu Xiaolan let loose a cry of surprise.

The only beings in this world that could pose a threat to An Lin were paramount Heavenly Gods!

An Lin stood atop the city wall and looked into the distance. “Let’s wait a while longer. Everything will be revealed when the final battle commences…”
