The sun shone down upon the lush forest, creating a mottled halo of light.
A light breeze blew past, and the trees rustled as birds chirped joyfully.
A white figure trod over the soft soil, humming an ancient folk song as she strolled through the tranquil mountains.
"Big Sister Bai, we're going in the wrong direction. We're going to the Buddhist Kingdom, not the Kingdom of the Nine States!" An Lin couldn't help but say as he rode on Dabai's back.
The woman turned to look at An Lin with a hint of a smile in her eyes. "I go wherever I want to go. Why do you insist on following me?" Her voice was as gentle as cotton wool.
"I'm just worried that you might encounter some danger or become acclimatized to the environment after staying at home for too long." An Lin patted Dabai's backside and sped up to walk alongside Bai Ling.
Bai Ling raised her chin slightly and took a deep breath of fresh air. As she basked in the warm sunlight shining down from between the trees, a vibrant smile gradually appeared on her face. It was as if all the snow and ice had melted and a spring breeze had descended upon them.
Dabai couldn't help but transmit his voice, "Big Brother An, I'm starting to believe that Bai Ling is a beautiful princess now."
An Lin transmitted his voice in reply, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"It's been a long time, but this world is still so beautiful. I like it!" Bai Ling looked at the plants, smelled the fragrance of the soil, listened to the chirping of the birds, and basked in the warmth of the sun. All of this intoxicated her, and she couldn't help but praise it.
An Lin could tell that Bai Ling wasn't acclimatized to the environment.
"Roar!" A mutant beast with the head of a tiger and the tail of a snake suddenly leaped out from the forest and pounced toward Bai Ling like lightning.
Lightning was already flashing on An Lin's fingertips upon seeing this.
Following a loud noise, the exotic beast with a strong head and a weak tail crashed into an invisible barrier.
An Lin stared at Bai Ling with shock on his face. He had only detected an extremely faint vital energy fluctuation before this invisible barrier appeared.
He knew that this barrier wasn't some low-level spell technique like a wall of air. Instead, it was an extremely advanced spatial technique!
From this alone, An Lin knew that as long as Bai Ling didn't court death, no one on this continent could bully her.
Hmm … As long as she wasn't acclimatized, he wouldn't be the one to protect her if she encountered any danger, so he could leave her to her own devices.
"I don't have the habit of killing small animals. Hurry up and scram." Bai Ling glanced at the Tiger Head Snake Tail Beast, which had crashed into the spatial barrier too quickly, and was already dizzy and dizzy.
The tiger-headed, snake-tailed beast felt relieved and hurriedly ran away.
"I heard that the meat from the Tiger Head Snake Tail Beast's waist is especially delicious!" An Lin suddenly said.
The space began to distort silently.
The tiger-headed snake-tailed beast was dead.
The flames began to rise. The barbecue rack was one meter wide, and the white and tender meat was skewered on steel wires.
An Lin continued to sprinkle ingredients on the meat. The flames crackled, and the sparkling meat slowly warmed up. A rich fragrance began to waft in the air.
Bai Ling sat on the little stool that An Lin had pulled out from his storage ring. She rested her chin on her hand as she gazed at the delicious and alluring roast meat with a dazed look in her eyes.
"I've seen this dish in a restaurant in the Stone Dragon State. It's called Salt and Pepper God's Waist, and it's made from the waist of a Tiger Head Snake Tail Beast. Hence, when I saw this Tiger Head Snake Tail Beast, I knew that I couldn't miss it! "An Lin couldn't help but smack his lips as he gazed at the roast meat.
He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Bai Ling's entranced expression. "How long has it been since you last ate?"
"Hmm … I haven't eaten for ten thousand seven hundred and twenty-six years," Bai Ling replied honestly.
An Lin: "…"
"Aren't you hungry after not eating for so long?" An Lin asked after a moment of thought.
"After reaching the Return to Void Stage, everything in this world can be used as energy, so why would I be hungry?" Bai Ling replied with a smile.
An Lin also smiled. "But eating is the most joyful thing in life. It would be a shame not to eat for ten thousand years."
He used his energy sword to slice the fragrant roast meat into a mesh before sprinkling some spirit ingredients onto it before handing it to the woman beside him. "Have a taste!"
Bai Ling accepted the roast meat from An Lin, and a dazed expression flashed through her eyes as she inhaled the fragrant aroma wafting through the air.
She brought the meat to her mouth and bit off a small piece of hot and fragrant meat before slowly chewing on it.
The flavor of the roast meat was superb, and it instantly flowed through her taste buds. Her eyes narrowed slightly as a slight smile appeared on her face.
"Looks like my roast meat is pretty good."
An Lin smiled as he handed the second portion of roast meat to the drooling Dabai.
Bai Ling looked at An Lin and nodded. "This is the best roast meat I've eaten in ten thousand seven hundred and twenty-six years."
An Lin's lips twitched. "Can't you be more sincere with your praise?"
Bai Ling's brows perked up slightly. "Heh, I haven't eaten meat in ten thousand seven hundred and twenty-six years, but I'm making an exception for your roast meat. Isn't that enough to make you happy?"
An Lin pondered this for a moment. From a different perspective, this really did seem to give him a sense of accomplishment!
Bai Ling bit off another piece of roast meat and nodded. "You're right. Eating is the most joyful thing in life!"
A smile appeared on her face as she spoke. Her eyes were clear, and a few strands of hair brushed against her rosy cheeks. She didn't even bother to lift them up as she continued to nibble on the roast meat.
An Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the sight of the eccentric Bai Ling smiling like a pure little girl. As expected, one should go out more often after staying in the house for too long!
"Where are you going next? I'm preparing to return to the Celestial Court," An Lin suddenly said.
"I'm not telling you," Bai Ling replied.
An Lin: "…"
"Then leave me a voice transmission talisman. You can come find me if you need anything," An Lin continued.
"I won't. We'll meet again if we're fated to," Bai Ling replied calmly.
An Lin: "…"
She was so gentle and adorable just a few minutes ago. Why was she suddenly so cold and aloof now?
Or could it be that she's doing something that I can't interfere with? Is that why she's keeping her mouth shut?
An Lin couldn't figure this out, so he didn't think too much about it.
After a while, two people and a dog finally finished eating the waist of the Tiger Head Snake Tail Beast.
"There's no need to send me off now. Let's part ways here." Bai Ling glanced at An Lin with an expressionless face, as if she had repressed all of her emotions.
An Lin thought about it for a moment. There probably wasn't enough time to get back to the Celestial Court, so it was indeed time to part ways.
"Take care, Ms. Bai Ling. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me at the Celestial Court." He waved a hand.
Bai Ling nodded before transforming into a streak of white light and disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
The two of them fell silent as they looked at Bai Ling's departing figure.
"Big Brother An, your princess ran away. Woof! "Dabai suddenly exclaimed.
An Lin couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Dabai. Instead, he turned to look at his system.
The special mission tab had already indicated that he had completed the mission and could now receive his reward.
This was a lucky draw, and it was a special spell technique lucky draw at that.
Thinking back, the last lucky draw was a magic treasure lucky draw, and this time, he finally had a spell technique lucky draw!
An Lin first used the Water Condensation Technique to wash his hands. Then, he prayed to Senior White for his blessings in his heart before getting down to business.
He looked at the system's lucky draw wheel. There were over a hundred spell techniques on it, all of which were densely distributed within the grids of the wheel. All of them were enshrouded by a thin layer of mist, making it impossible to see what kind of spell techniques they were.
So be it. It was already good enough that he had obtained a special spell technique. He didn't really mind.
"Let the lucky draw begin!"
An Lin yelled in his mind.
Immediately afterward, the big lucky draw wheel in his mind began to spin at high speed.
"Stop!"
The speed of the lucky draw wheel became slower and slower. In the end, it stopped at a certain grid, upon which a brilliant light erupted!
