In the Wen Valley Immortal Sect's camp, Liu Susu stared blankly at the white desert in the distance.
There was a white bandage wrapped around her abdomen and a certain part of the bandage was dyed red like a blossoming plum blossom. She had been accidentally stabbed by a giant ant when she stepped onto the white desert in pursuit of the Ant Tribe.
Now that the Black Mist Bridge had been destroyed, the Celestial Court had sent word that the battle was over.
She and her father would probably have to leave this place soon.
Maple City was already a dead city and they probably wouldn't be going back anytime soon. Where should they go?
After successfully defeating the Ant Tribe army, she and her father had avenged their family. Their hearts were at peace but they didn't know what to do next.
She gripped the longsword in her hand tightly and her pale little face was filled with melancholy and bewilderment.
After a long while, a figure flew over from the sky.
Liu Susu looked up and her entire body trembled. The melancholy on her face suddenly disappeared as she exclaimed, "Senior An Lin!"
"Hi, Liu Susu." An Lin's expression was still as easygoing as ever.
Liu Susu saw that there was an extremely beautiful woman standing beside him.
This woman had a refined and noble air about her that inspired awe and veneration.
"Haha, An Lin, you're a senior now?" The woman poked An Lin's back with a smile that was as affectionate as a girl next door.
"Ahem … I'll give you some face …" An Lin said in a low voice. "This is my friend Xu Xiaolan and this is Liu Susu, whom I met in Maple City."
"Hello, Senior Xu Xiaolan," Liu Susu greeted with an obedient and respectful expression.
Xu Xiaolan didn't think she would become a senior too. She was taken aback for a moment before nodding in greeting. "Hello, Liu Susu."
An Lin noticed that Liu Susu's abdomen was injured and immediately handed a Spirit Blood Pill to her.
"Take this and eat it."
"It's alright, Senior An Lin. My wound has been bandaged and I'll be fine in a few days …"
"If I tell you to eat, just eat!"
"Hmm …"
Liu Susu held the pill in her hands as she gazed at the man in front of her. Seeing the serious expression on the man's face, she bit her lip and swallowed the pill as she was told.
"Where is your father?"
"He's in the refining room of the camp. He said that he's going to forge a set of armor."
"Oh …" An Lin nodded and smiled. "The battle is over. What do you plan to do next?"
Liu Susu lowered her head and shook her head. "I haven't decided yet."
"Your family and sect are gone. Why don't you join the Wen Valley Immortal Sect?" An Lin suggested while stroking his chin.
Liu Susu's eyes widened. But my father's and my aptitude … "
"It's fine, we'll go through the back door!" An Lin interrupted.
Liu Susu: "…"
Xu Xiaolan: "…"
Thus, they found Elder Ji Yanling of the Wen Valley Immortal Sect.
Meeting again after a year, Ji Yanling had matured quite a bit. Although her body was still a bit frail, the determination and clarity in her eyes gave one a sense of security.
She was ecstatic to see An Lin and Xu Xiaolan again.
They were comrades who had gone through thick and thin together in the Abyss of Evil, so they chatted about recent events with one another.
An Lin suggested that Liu Susu and Liu Hu join the Wen Valley Immortal Sect, and Ji Yanling agreed without even thinking about it. She had opened the back door without any hesitation. Liu Susu was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes, and she immediately bowed to express her gratitude. She didn't know who to thank, but she just had to thank each of the seniors.
Ji Yanling was still wearing the crystal that had already dimmed. She had chosen to remember some things, and this was actually quite a good thing. An Lin could tell from their conversation that she had already pulled herself together, which was exactly what Wang Lu wanted to see.
After staying together for a while, An Lin and the others set off to leave.
"Cultivate hard and improve every day." An Lin waved goodbye.
"Yes! Senior An Lin, I'll do my best, we'll meet again! "Liu Susu nodded earnestly.
After flying into the sky, Xu Xiaolan couldn't help but ask An Lin, "Tell me the truth, why are you so nice to Liu Susu?"
"Because Big Brother An wants to have a harem." Dabai interjected.
Bam! Dabai's head was immediately hammered by An Lin.
An Lin thought for a moment before replying, "Hmm … probably because … she's the first person in this world to call me 'Senior' …"
On the ground below, Liu Susu stared blankly at An Lin's departing figure until it disappeared from her field of vision.
…
…
The end-of-year examinations had concluded, and An Lin had ten days to recuperate before returning to the Celestial Court. After that was a month of vacation, so he had a lot of free time.
The prefectural city of the Heavenly River State was bustling with activity.
An Lin rode Dabai and strolled leisurely through the streets with Xu Xiaolan.
Riding dogs was a habit of An Lin's, but he was a little embarrassed to see Xu Xiaolan with him. He already had a mount, but she was still walking …
"Xiaolan, why don't you ride on as well?" An Lin patted Dabai's back.
"Hmm? Is it really possible? "Xu Xiaolan's eyes flashed with anticipation.
An Lin laughed heartily. "Of course!"
Dabai also wagged its tail to indicate that it had no objections.
Xu Xiaolan leaped onto Dabai's back with a smile and teased, "Dabai, I've wanted to ride you for a long time!"
A sly smile appeared on Dabai's face. "Celestial Maiden Xiaolan, I've wanted to be ridden by you for a long time, woof!"
An Lin: "…"
Xu Xiaolan: "… I just feel like Dabai is a perverted dog. How about I get off?"
"Don't, Dabai is very pure, I promise!" An Lin defended Dabai's innocence.
"I only like Qing Hua, woof!" Dabai tried to prove his innocence.
Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips. She was naturally not going to believe An Lin and Dabai's bullsh * t, but she didn't choose to get off either. Instead, she followed along with Dabai.
Just like that, the two of them rode on the giant dog and traveled slowly through the market.
Xu Xiaolan first pulled on Dabai's fur with both of her hands. Later, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she pulled on the corner of An Lin's shirt with her jade-like hands.
An Lin was in high spirits as he said, "I used to love reading martial arts novels. I yearned for those heroes who could ride on horses with beautiful women and travel the world. I also dreamed that one day, I could do such things too.
"Now, my dream has come true … Although it's riding on a dog, which is a bit low-class. But the beautiful woman has become a fairy, and the level has returned! "
Dabai was immediately displeased upon hearing that. He scolded angrily, "Woof! That's too much. You're abandoning your brothers just to chase after girls? "
Xu Xiaolan didn't respond. She only smiled lightly. Her beautiful face was slightly raised, and her eyes were slightly closed. She seemed to be enjoying the warm sunlight and this leisurely feeling.
The little hand that was holding on to the corner of An Lin's shirt tightened unknowingly.
The mighty and cute giant dog, as well as the handsome man and beautiful woman riding on it, became a unique scenery on the bustling street.
For An Lin and Xu Xiaolan who were riding on the dog, this beautiful and bustling city was also a unique scenery worthy of commemoration. It wouldn't disappear with the passage of time.
