Chapter 1086

“Wh… what surprise?”

A blush appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face, and her voice softened as An Lin grabbed onto her hands.

She knew that the West Sea had many beautiful things like pearl necklaces and coral rings; all of which were extremely enchanting and enticing…

Just as Xu Xiaolan was getting led astray by her imagination.

An Lin pulled out an inky-black turtle shell.

“This is for you!”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

“The surprise you’re referring to is a turtle shell?” Xu Xiaolan’s skin crawled, and she was struck by the feeling that her dream had been shattered.

A smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “This is no ordinary turtle shell. It’s called the Heavenly Star Dark Shell, and it was given to me by Gu Yu. It can be activated a total of three times. Each time it is activated, it can defend against a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure’s attacks for ten consecutive minutes!”

That’s right, he planned to give this life-saving treasure to Xiaolan!

Xu Xiaolan’s mouth gaped open as an incredulous expression appeared on her face.

She knew that An Lin wouldn’t lie to her about something like this, so it had to be true!

“No! I can’t take a treasure like this. What if you need it in the future?” Xu Xiaolan pushed the turtle shell toward An Lin with an extremely firm expression.

An Lin replied with a justified expression, “I would rather see myself come to harm than to see you get hurt.”

Xu Xiaolan’s heart trembled, and her clear eyes seemed to have transformed into rippling pools of water. “I feel the same way, so you keep this turtle shell. I’m fine with a more mundane present!”

“Heh… You don’t get to call the shots here! I’ll listen to you when your defensive prowess becomes more powerful than mine!” An Lin made a rare show of going against Xu Xiaolan’s wishes and forced her to put on the turtle shell.

Xu Xiaolan struggled for a bit, but she was unable to resist An Lin’s efforts. In the end, she conceded to him…

However, her intricate fair cheeks were flushed bright red, and her heart rate had also accelerated significantly for some reason.

The inky-black turtle shell pressed against her snowy-white skin like a pendant, and there was a sense of beauty to the contrast between the two color tones.

An Lin clapped his hands together contently. “Beautiful!”

Xu Xiaolan couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “This is the first time I’ve seen a boyfriend give a turtle shell to his girlfriend and have the audacity to praise the turtle shell as beautiful!”

“Your beauty disregards any ornamentation. A beautiful turtle shell will only add to your beauty, while an ugly turtle shell will stand in contrast to your beauty. In any case, you’re always extremely beautiful to me!” An Lin stroked Xu Xiaolan’s cheek as he spoke in a gentle voice.

Xu Xiaolan’s eyes glazed over slightly as she stared at An Lin.

Their two pairs of lips met…

One minute later.

An Lin made his way out of the dorm room while humming a happy tune.

The first thing he did after returning to his dorm room was to give Xue Zhantian a massive beating.

After bashing him up, An Lin’s mood lifted even further.

“Waah… Master, you’re demented, unreasonable, and inexplicable!” Xue Zhantian recoiled his round, furry body as he roared at An Lin.

An Lin nodded lightly before beginning round two of Xue Zhantian’s inhumane torture.

“Waah… Master is benevolent, reasonable, and wise…” Xue Zhantian’s tears rolled down his swollen, snowy-white body.

“Nice use of antonyms,” An Lin praised with an elated smile.

Xue Zhantian: “…”

Thus, An Lin forced Xue Zhantian to sleep with him for the night.

Wait, no, he forced Xue Zhantian to act as his pillow, and he enjoyed a beautiful night’s sleep.

The next day.

An Lin finally reappeared in the schoolyard.

His emergence always attracted countless pairs of eyes.

In particular, the lower year level underclassmen were fanatical in their worship of this mysterious and powerful upperclassman.

All of the legends within the school were revolving around An Lin.

Could you imagine the despair of being blocked by an airtight pack of students after every class?

The dorm room’s letterbox was full every single day, and all of the letters were in pink envelopes.

There were always underclassmen who mustered up the courage to engage in conversation with him when he just wanted to have a leisurely stroll at night.

Sword Immortal An Lin was definitely the number one celebrity within the university!

The days flew by quickly, and it was already the end of the term now.

Due to the fact that An Lin had skipped so much school, he had also missed the Immortal Spirit Tower trial.

However, that didn’t matter anyway. All he would’ve done there was wreck some seniors, so there wasn’t much of a challenge.

What was worthy of note was that Tang Ximen had finally progressed to the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage and went all the way to the eighty-third level, thereby earning him a spot in the University Hall of Fame.

Everyone was quite happy for Tang Ximen as it seemed like he had been given a new lease on life.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Su Qianyun progressed to level ninety-seven and ninety-six respectively after progressing to the Soul Formation Stage.

Xu Xiaolan was the most bad*ss of the lot. After reconstructing her dao foundation and absorbing the true blood essence of the vermilion bird, it was as if a jetpack had been attached to her cultivation base. She had already rocketed to the Soul Formation Final Stage when she participated in the trial.

During this trial, she even managed to defeat War God Xing Tian of the ninety-ninth level.

The self-proclaimed invincible War God, Xing Tian, lost to An Lin and Xu Xiaolan in successive years. An Lin wondered what was going through his mind after his most recent loss.

Unfortunately, after defeating Xing Tian and receiving the inheritance of the dao of slaughter, Xiaolan fainted from overexertion and couldn’t progress to the hundredth level, much to the dismay and disappointment of the spectating students.

This was a bit regretful.

Xiaolan told An Lin that next year, she would pummel Emperor Ziwei for sure.

An Lin gave Xiaolan a thumbs-up. “You go, Xiaolan! Avenge me by beating the crap out of Emperor Ziwei! Land one punch on him, and I’ll reward you with one kiss. Land two punches on him, and I’ll reward you with two kisses!”

“Shameless freak!” Xu Xiaolan blushed with embarrassment. “Then what if I defeat him?”

An Lin replied excitedly, “I’ll reward you with a meat sausage!”

Slap!

A thunderous slap erupted, and An Lin hurtled into the distance for several hundred meters!

“Stinky pervert!”

In any case, it looked like they had not come to a consensus.

When An Lin was slapped into the distance by Xu Xiaolan, he suddenly thought of Emperor Ziwei.

That b*stard still owed him an inheritance!

He silently opened his system and checked the mission conditions for the God of War Heaven Blasting Cannon. He found that Emperor Ziwei was still an avid hater of him.

An Lin: “…”

It was only a beating! Did he have to remember it for this long?!

He was an emperor! Couldn’t he be a bit more forgiving?

An Lin was very angry. He decided to find an opportunity to pay a visit to the Ziwei Pavilion and fight for some justice for himself!

The days passed by slowly.

Xiao Chou’s wedding was about to be held, and everyone was busy with the final preparations, trying to invite as many powerful beings as possible.

After all… they were all walking wallets!

The survival of the Four Nine Immortal Sect depended on these presents! This was legitimate work, and they could not afford to get complacent.

After being strongly promoted by the Heavenly Court, the wedding became more and more of a significant event across the entire continent. There were all sorts of different stories going around like how this was a taboo relationship that had shattered social norms, this was a magnificent relationship that ignored what the rest of the world thought, this was an extraordinary relationship that could captivate one’s dao heart, etc.

In any case, this wedding was slowly becoming a grand occasion even in the context of the entire continent.

An Lin was also eagerly anticipating the wedding.

However, the fourth-year end-of-term examinations rolled around before the wedding.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and the others had to head for the Dark Marshlands again!
