Book 7: Chapter 19: The Flame of Inheritance

“Don’t be nervous.”

Seeing his expression, Jiang Lan couldn’t help but smile.

“I didn’t say that I had an opinion about that. According to your subjective time, I am the one who came later…not to mention, we are still a couple in name only.”

“Yup……”

Speaking of this topic, Bai Qiuran hesitated. After thinking about it, he asked:

“Little Lan, do you really want to be my wife for real now?”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lan answered calmly:

“Of course, I am in love with you now.”

“Oh.”

Wise Immortal exclaimed:

“Is this the power of the gods? This love confession is straight.”

Bai Qiuran was also overwhelmed by Jiang Lan’s straight love confession. The three-thousand-year-old virgin was most afraid of going straight. Now, he almost couldn’t even utter his words.

“But… Little Lan, didn’t you tell me when you got married…”

“I mean I will never fall in love with a god, but are you a god?”

Jiang Lan interrupted Bai Qiuran and said:

“I’m also a descendant of the Yan Emperor bloodline anyway. To admit defeat is to admit defeat. I won’t even have the courage to say something… What about you? Qiuran, have I made you like me in the past few years of marriage?”

Speaking of this, Jiang Lan was also a little nervous, her face was calm, but her feet moved a little nervously.

“I do not know.”

Bai Qiuran sighed.

“To be honest, for more than three thousand years, I have only been close to two women. One is the confidante I told you before, and the other is my apprentice… Well, there was Miss Li who, for a reason I didn’t know, is particularly active, but I am a passive one, and I don’t know much about it. This is considered a liking.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan’s hand tightened the corner of her skirt.

“However, when you are in danger, I feel worried. When you are sick and weak, I feel distressed. When you are missing, I miss you. And when I am separated from you, I feel sad. With good things, I will also want to share with you…”

Bai Qiuran touched his head and said in uncertainty:

“I think this should be love, right?”

“This is love.”

Jiang Lan nodded happily, then slumped on Bai Qiuran’s knees.

“OMG…”

Wise Immortal, who was put aside by Bai Qiuran, looked at the shadows leaning against each other under the firelight, took a breath of cold air, and whispered to himself in a low voice:

“Thank you, Old Bai. You come to this God’s Generation, let me witness that you have created two pieces of history. It is worthy of this life.”

After a while, as if thinking of something, Jiang Lan got up from Bai Qiuran’s knees, then stretched out her hand and took out the jade hairpin behind her head.

“This is for you.”

She put the hairpin in front of Bai Qiuran.

“Little Lan, what do you mean?”

Bai Qiuran took the hairpin and said in amazement:

“Isn’t this the most important thing your mother left for you?”

“So, you take care of it for me, and I can’t spare you if it breaks.”

Jiang Lan looked up at Bai Qiuran and said:

“I know what you mean…you will go back, right?”

Bai Qiuran hesitated but nodded.

“Then, I will wait for you.”

Jiang Lan said firmly:

“When you go back, come to me with this hairpin.”

“But that’s an era in which I don’t know how many thousands of years have passed.”

Bai Qiuran looked at Jiang Lan, feeling distressed.

“It’s okay, I’m a god at any rate, it’s the big deal. I can sleep and practice to kill time, and it will soon pass.”

Jiang Lan smiled and said to Bai Qiuran:

“At that time, you can also introduce me to those girls who were close to you in that era.”

Bai Qiuran was a little guilty when he heard that, but looking at Jiang Lan’s expression, it seemed that she didn’t really care about this matter, she just wanted to get to know it.

After all, different times have different concepts.

Bai Qiuran pondered for a long time, and then put the hairpin in the storage bag.

“I promise.”

“Right, be decisive.”

Jiang Lan pinched Bai Qiuran’s cheek and nodded.

“This is Bai Qiuran I know.”

——————-

Ten years later, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan returned to the valley again.

The valley was still the same. Some maids work on the vegetable fields and flower fields in the valley, which have been added a lot. The houses had become more refined, but the maids still took good care of the several acres of vegetable fields that Jiang Lan opened up in the past. The hut where the two lived was still the same, and it seemed that it was being cleaned every day.

The maids in the valley saw Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan and surrounded them in surprise. Some went to the back of the valley and called Bai Li and the monkey over.

After ten years of absence, Bai Li appeared to be a lot more stable, and the gray monkey, whose body had grown, could no longer squat on Bai Li’s shoulders.

However, their attitude towards Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan remained as respectful as they were ten years ago.

In the evening, in order to celebrate the return of Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan, the maids laid out a table of what seemed to be a very rich feast for the human race in this era.

After eating and drinking, Bai Qiuran sent Jiang Lan back to the hut to rest, and then called Bai Li out alone.

The master and the apprentice strolled under the moon and walked a long distance before they came to the pool in the valley. Bai Qiuran turned his back to Bai Li and whispered:

“My time is coming, and you will have to walk on your own in the future.”

“I understand, Master.”

Bai Li arched his hands to Bai Qiuran:

“After entering the Heavenly Tribulating stage, I can more or less have a foreboding.”

“From the time I took you to the beginning, you haven’t disappointed me in the matter of cultivation. It’s much better than your senior sister. She should still be struggling to grow her body now.”

Bai Qiuran looked at the sky, then turned around, looked at his second disciple, and said softly:

“After I’m gone, you must never let me down.”

“This disciple remembered.”

Bai Li lowered his head and replied.

“Then, before leaving, I have a few things for you.”

As Bai Qiuran spoke, he took out a few things from his storage bag.

He first took out a thick book with “Shan Hai Jing” written on the cover.

“This is your future comrade-in-arms. After I came to this world, all the races in the world that were [annihilated] when rebelled against the Heavenly Palace are in the nested world in this book.”

Bai Li took it with both hands and placed it in his storage necklace-this was a magic tool he himself refined through the space spell taught by Bai Qiuran.

Bai Qiuran took out another bundle of scrolls tied with blue ribbon and put it on Bai Li’s hand.

“This is your people. All the humans that currently exist in the world are in the world in this painting… Lead them well.”

Bai Li bowed deeply, then took it with both hands and put it away.

Finally, Bai Qiuran took out several huge stone slabs and put them on the ground. The stone slabs were inscribed with the techniques of each genre, as well as the cultivation methods from the beginning of cultivation to immortality, from the Body Forging stage to the Guixu stage.

“This is the future of the human race. As long as they are there, there is hope for the human race.”

Before handing them to Bai Li, Bai Qiuran emphasized:

“Even if you die, you must ensure that they are entrusted in the hands of trustworthy humans.”

Bai Li knelt down on a few stone slabs, kneeled three times and knocked nine times, then stood up, and solemnly received the stone slabs and put them into the storage space.

“I have no regrets in this era.”

Bai Qiuran finally patted Bai Li on the shoulder and said to him:

“On the day you cross the Heavenly Tribulation, let us fight together.”
