An Lin was meditating on the island in a leisurely manner.
Some of the Spirit Fish Clan and Heavenly Turtle Tribe mighty figures had gone back to take care of business, while others continued to stand respectfully in the distance. They didn't dare to disturb An Lin, but they also wanted to personally see him off as a gesture of respect.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and waves crashed relentlessly against the reefs of the island.
Tina and the Jade Bone Immortal Bug were both lying on An Lin's shoulder as they looked up at the horizon, where a sun that resembled an egg yolk was slowly appearing.
"Giant An Lin, you big swindler! How dare you swindle food and drinks out of me …" Tina grumbled in a low voice.
An Lin retorted with a serious expression, "Who are you calling a swindler? I didn't want any presents at all. They offered to give me presents, and I didn't want to embarrass them, so I didn't refuse them. "
Tina rolled her eyes and harrumphed before ignoring An Lin.
An Lin finally managed to explain to his two beast pets that he really wasn't the Heavenly Dao and that his survival instincts had forced him to fabricate a fake identity.
The beast pets finally believed him, but they then began to point their fingers at him for swindling presents out of him …
They were actually quite bored, so it was quite fun to criticize their shameless masters from time to time.
As the sun rose over the horizon, a group of Spirit Fish Clan cultivators arrived.
Lan Xingyang, Yu Feiyu, and the other mighty figures had arrived.
An Lin also saw a very familiar figure.
"What a beautiful mermaid!" Even Tina couldn't help but exclaim.
An Lin nodded in agreement. "Underling Lan has fulfilled all of my fantasies about mermaids! Perfect!"
Lan Xiaoni spotted An Lin from afar.
She had initially wanted to happily fly over to the reef, but after thinking about it, she realized that she had to show the other side of herself to An Lin. Her goal was to make sure that he would never forget her current appearance. She couldn't allow her image to be ruined!
Hence, Lan Xiaoni repressed her urge.
She slowly and gracefully made her way forward before landing beside An Lin like a Celestial Maiden.
Her hair danced in the wind, and a fragrant scent wafted toward him.
"Big Boss An Lin," Lan Xiaoni greeted with a smile.
She was the princess of the Spirit Fish Clan, so it was a little strange for her to refer to someone else as Big Boss. However, she couldn't care less anymore. She had already gotten used to it.
An Lin had a look of admiration in his eyes as he praised, "Little Brother Lan, your beauty has reached a whole new level."
A light blush appeared on Lan Xiaoni's face upon hearing this, and she replied in a seductive voice, "Hmm … I dressed up a little before I left. After all, I had to see you off."
At this moment, Lan Xingyang also walked over with a hearty laugh. "Little Friend An Lin, I've kept you waiting. I've prepared a small gift for you to express my gratitude."
With that said, he handed a storage ring to An Lin.
An Lin nodded slightly and accepted it with a carefree expression. He didn't even take another look at it as if money was like dirt to him.
Lan Xingyang didn't mind. Instead, he issued a command for everyone to leave with a smile on his face. "I'll be taking my leave now. You can have a chat with my daughter."
In his eyes, this representative of the Heavenly Dao definitely had a lot to say to his underling.
Thus, everyone else left.
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni sat on a rock and looked up at the rising sun.
The warm rays of the sun fell upon Lan Xiaoni's body and intertwined with the beautiful butterfly carved into the shape of a luminous pearl on her forehead, exuding a faint golden light.
She rested her chin in her hands, and her eyes reflected the rising sun. "Big Boss An Lin, you said last night that you're going to revive the human race. Is that true?"
An Lin shook his head. "It was just a casual remark. In order to prevent the destruction of the human race, I can only lead them in the opposite direction in order to avoid arousing suspicion. However … if anyone tries to invade the human race, I'll be sure to kill them! Even the Heavenly Sea God is no exception. "
Lan Xiaoni's eyes dimmed slightly. "What if that person is me …"
An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this. "What are you talking about? You're my underling! Don't overthink things!
"I'm very scared. I'm scared that the power within my body will slowly transform me into a different person, or I'll suddenly go berserk and devour my mind …"
Tears welled up in Lan Xiaoni's eyes, and she pursed her lips. "You know how terrifying that Heavenly Sea God is. Would it really give me a Heavenly Dao power without any backup plans to force me to do something … "
Lan Xiaoni was not happy after obtaining the Heavenly Dao power.
On the contrary, the irresistible blue figure was constantly haunting her heart, striking her with fear and helplessness.
Right at this moment, a warm hand landed on Lan Xiaoni's head before gently rubbing her head.
"If that day really comes and you lose yourself, I'll beat you awake, then kill the Heavenly Sea God. Don't forget, I'm your big boss, and I'll protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll make them pay the most painful price! "
Lan Xiaoni turned to look at the extremely determined man beside her, and two streaks of tears had appeared on her face. However, a vibrant smile appeared on her face, and she was like a vibrant flower blooming under the morning sun.
"Hmm! I believe in you, Big Boss An Lin.
"Then, Big Boss An Lin, I'll rule over the West Sea for now and become your most reliable shield!"
"Gasp … What a domineering statement. Underling Lan, you've changed."
"This is all part of my self-cultivation. Don't forget, you have to come to the West Sea often to patrol, Big Boss An Lin.
"Don't worry, I'll come often, I promise."
"Then it's a promise. Let's pinky swear … no, let's hug."
Thus, a warm and fragrant body fell into his arms.
This was the first time An Lin had hugged Lan Xiaoni in a proper manner.
The image of the two of them hugging on the rocks of the small island was very beautiful, and Tina, who was standing nearby, silently snapped a photographic crystal.
This was not an act of her own volition. Instead, this was something that Xue Zhantian had asked her to do. She didn't know why, but it was fine to take a picture, right?
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni chatted for a while longer.
Lan Xiaoni's power of the Heavenly Dao of Water was indeed very strange. Its power was very real, but its mission was far too insubstantial.
Could it be that whether or not she fulfilled her promise was entirely dependent on her character?
An Lin didn't know what was going on, so he could only set this aside for now.
Not long after that, a turtle head crashed through space and descended upon the island.
Gu Yu also returned with a present.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. An Lin. I struggled for a long time before deciding on a present, but I couldn't think of what to give you.
"If only you were a normal cultivator, I could just give you some spirit stones. However, Mr. An Lin is clearly not such a vulgar person …"
An Lin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
What he needed the most right now were spirit stones!
"I think that Mr. An Lin is at a critical juncture in his recovery, so his safety is of the utmost importance. Hence, I used the divine-rank material of our Heavenly Turtle Tribe, the Heavenly Star Dark Shell, and injected my most powerful defensive spell technique into it!
"The Heavenly Star Dark Shell can be activated a total of three times, and each time, it can keep a Dao Integration Stage mighty figure's attacks at bay for ten minutes …"
Gu Yu spat out a palm-sized black turtle shell from its mouth as it spoke.
This was undoubtedly the most powerful life-saving treasure for a Soul Formation Stage cultivator.
However, An Lin's lips twitched upon seeing this. "Is everyone in your Heavenly Turtle Tribe like this?"
"What?" Gu Yu was perplexed.
"No … Nothing. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Gu Yu." An Lin accepted the black turtle shell with a smile on his face. There was no way he was going to tell him that Tian Chenji's inheritance was something similar to this …
An Lin was most likely going to become the most powerful being in the world in terms of defensive prowess among all Soul Formation Stage cultivators!
