"Mr. An Lin, thank you for everything you've done for Bo Lan City. My name is Bei Lian, and I'll be taking over the protection of Bo Lan City from now on. "A woman in a blue dress appeared before An Lin and spoke in a cold voice.
She had the transcendent disposition of a celestial maiden, and her eyes were as clear as water with a hint of coldness. Her skin was as fair as snow with a hint of pink, as if water could be squeezed out of it. Most importantly, she had a pair of intricate dragon horns.
"Mr. Bei Lian is from the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas?" An Lin was a little surprised.
Bei Lian nodded lightly. "I'm the Eleventh Princess of the Dragon Court. I've been traveling around the Pearl Kingdom for the past two days, and after hearing about this from the King, I came to take care of it. The Dragon Court protects the coastal kingdoms, so you don't need to interfere. Just leave it to me. "
"That's fine, I'm here to help as well. I have a mission that requires me to slay the Crimson Demonic Emperor with my own two hands, so please let me take care of that sea monster, "An Lin spoke with a sincere expression.
He was still waiting to kill the Crimson Demonic Emperor, and now that it had come knocking on his door, he couldn't just let it go.
Bei Lian's brows furrowed slightly. "Are you kidding me? You're only a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator, and you want to kill the Crimson Demonic Emperor?"
"Don't worry, I have a trump card that can take care of it," An Lin replied.
"What trump card?"
"Two Soul Formation Stage puppets."
"… I don't believe you."
Bei Lian shook her head.
She had already lost her patience with An Lin. "I'll prioritize the safety of Bo Lan City, and I won't hold back when necessary. You're on your own."
In her heart, An Lin had already been labeled as an arrogant person.
Emperor-level sea monsters were not to be trifled with. A Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator was asking her to let go of a Soul Formation Stage sea monster? Did he really think he was invincible just because he had slain a few Spirit Kings?
If it weren't for the fact that An Lin had saved Bo Lan City once, she wouldn't even bother talking to An Lin.
An Lin sighed helplessly. "Then let's rely on our own abilities."
Bei Lian harrumphed coldly and left without saying anything else.
Dabai shook his head. "They're both peerless prodigies from the Dragon Court, but Shen Yin gives off a better vibe."
It had experienced Shen Yin's experience in the Winter Dragon Tomb, so it couldn't help but compare the two of them.
"She's not wrong to make such a decision. After all, not every cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage is as talented as me and can slay a Spirit Beast Emperor of the Soul Formation Stage, so it's normal for her to be apprehensive. But … the founder of the last hit style is here, why would I be afraid of being killed? "An Lin chuckled, his face full of confidence.
Dabai's lips twitched upon hearing this. "This is the first time I've seen someone who can boast about themselves after being looked down upon. Big Brother An, I'm impressed."
An Lin pursed his lips. "She's no match for Shen Yin either."
Dabai faltered slightly before coming to a sudden realization. "Big Brother An is right!"
In order to welcome Bei Lian's arrival, a lavish banquet was held at the Pearl King's manor. An Lin and the others were also invited to the banquet, and they immediately dug in at the sight of the bountiful seafood.
The Pearl King raised his wine glass. "It is a great honor for Bo Lan City that Xiao Longnu is willing to help us fight the Crimson Demonic Emperor. Let's toast to Xiao Longnu! "
"Pffft … cough cough …" An Lin, who was in the midst of eating and drinking delicacies, instantly choked upon hearing the term 'Dragon Princess'.
An Lin waved his hands apologetically at the sight of everyone's bewildered expressions. "Sorry, I ate too fast and choked …"
Bei Lian's brows furrowed slightly as she labeled An Lin as a "vulgar" person in her mind.
An Lin repressed his urge to laugh as he toasted Xiao Longnu with the Pearl King.
Shen Yin already had the title of Heavenly Dragon Maiden, so Bei Lian had the title of Xiao Longnu …
Hmm, that's right!
But he didn't know where her Yang Guo was, so he better not be bullied by Yin Daozhang …
The banquet concluded, and everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Deep into the night, the Luminous Pearls on the city walls glowed with a dazzling light.
The sea breeze howled in a violent manner.
Many pearl soldiers were patrolling the city gates. The Crimson Demonic Emperor was most likely going to attack in a day or two, so the number of soldiers stationed on the city walls was several times greater than before. There were also many powerful beings who had been transferred from other parts of the Pearl Kingdom.
A woman in a blue robe was standing on the city wall.
The whistling sea breeze made the light muslin stick closely to her body, revealing her graceful and slender curves.
An Lin climbed up the city wall and made his way toward the beautiful figure. "Hi, Dragon Princess, you're out for some fresh air this late at night?"
The woman turned to look at him expressionlessly before turning back to look at the sea in the distance. "Why are you out at this hour? To look at the night scenery?"
An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this. He didn't think that Xiao Longnu would be so sarcastic.
"Hmm … I can't sleep, so I came out for a walk …
"Hehe, the monkey on your shoulder and the white dog behind you also can't sleep?"
"Er …"
An awkward expression appeared on An Lin's face. He couldn't tell her that he was afraid that the Crimson Demonic Emperor would be slain by Xiao Longnu, so he came to kill her …
Bei Lian looked into the distance, and an almost imperceptible smile appeared on her face.
She fell silent for a moment before speaking again, "There's something strange about the flow of the sea, and there's an unsettling aura in the sea breeze … The enemies coming tonight probably won't be easy to deal with. Just do what you can, I won't be able to spare any attention to protect you in battle. "
An Lin nodded with a hint of surprise in his heart. As expected of the Dragon Tribe, he couldn't feel the sea breeze at all. It was just that the wind was a little noisy today.
The waves on the sea grew larger and larger, and dark clouds obscured the moon and stars in the sky. The atmosphere gradually became oppressive.
"They're here …" Bei Lian's expression became grave.
On the surface of the sea, three black figures grew larger and larger, and an extremely powerful aura swept toward them.
Bei Lian's expression instantly shifted drastically upon sensing these three auras. "Not just the Crimson Demonic Emperor … There are three Emperor-level sea monsters! Could they be from the Seven Demons Realm? That doesn't make sense, why would they join forces … "
She felt like things were spiraling out of her control for the first time. She was only a newly advanced Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivator, so she was confident that she could take on one Emperor-level sea monster with ease. Who would have thought that there would be three of them!
A large number of sea monsters surged toward Bo Lan City like a tidal wave.
In the sky, a huge silver falcon flew through the air and circled in the sky.
A white flying cocoon over a thousand feet in length broke through the black clouds and descended upon the world.
"Divine Wind Demon Monarch, Myriad Wave Demon Monarch …" Bei Lian's body swayed slightly, and her face was completely devoid of color as her eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment. "Impossible, how could there be five Emperor-level sea monsters? This lineup is enough to raze half of the Pearl Kingdom to the ground, how could they only use them to attack Bo Lan City …"
She then seemed to have thought of something, and she turned to An Lin in a panicked voice. "Hurry up and run! There's no need for you to participate in this battle, you'll die if you stay here! "
An Lin blinked in confusion. "What about you?"
Bei Lian crushed a jade talisman in her hand and looked up at the five gargantuan creatures in the distance with a determined expression. "I can't leave yet. Once I leave this place, Bo Lan City's defensive line will immediately collapse and all of the living beings in the city will be slaughtered by them. I'll use a mystic technique to stall for as long as possible until the Dragon Court reinforcements arrive! "
An Lin looked deeply into Bei Lian's eyes, as if he was looking at a new Dragon Maiden.
She was most likely well aware of the success rate of using a mystic technique to stall for time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have told An Lin to leave this place as soon as possible.
With this in mind, An Lin smiled in relief. "Let me help you, I can't bear to see so many adorable pearls die. Also, I've said it before, I must obtain the head of the Crimson Demonic Emperor, so don't try to take it from me. "
"You …" Bei Lian didn't know what to say.
When she saw the determination and confidence in An Lin's eyes, she finally heaved a light sigh and nodded as if she had resigned herself to fate. In her heart, she labeled An Lin as a "good person".
"Then, I'll leave the Crimson Demonic Emperor to you, I'll go hold off the other four."
"No, aside from the Crimson Demonic Emperor, I'll take care of two more of them. The other two are yours."
"Are you crazy?!"
"I'm not crazy, let me show you a big treasure!"
