A blush appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face upon hearing this. "Sister Lan Yan, what are you talking about? Are you itching for a beating?"
"Sister Xiaolan wants to bully me for a man … Sigh, our relationship has really strayed too far …" Lan Yan shook her head with an aggrieved expression.
An Lin descended from the sky on Dabai's back and pulled out a steamer of stuffed buns from his storage ring before tossing them to Lan Yan.
Lan Yan instinctively caught the steamer of stuffed buns before turning to An Lin with a perplexed expression. "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say I didn't bring a betrothal gift? This is my betrothal gift, "An Lin replied.
Lan Yan was dumbstruck for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha … Stuffed buns as a betrothal gift? I didn't think you'd be so funny, An Lin, hahaha … "
She had a low threshold for laughter to begin with, and now that she saw An Lin using stuffed buns as a betrothal gift, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Can you eat one first before you laugh?" An Lin asked with a resigned expression.
"Alright, alright, then I won't let down the groom's good intentions." Lan Yan repressed the urge to laugh as she removed the lid and took a bite of the soft and fragrant stuffed bun. The taste of the bun exploded forth.
Lan Yan was completely dumbstruck, and she continued to take a few more bites.
"My God … I'm eating stuffed buns?" She exclaimed in disbelief.
"They're stuffed buns. The ingredients are the flour, beef, pork, and spirit vegetables from the Celestial Court," An Lin confirmed.
"You … you made this?" Lan Yan had only just finished her first stuffed bun before picking up a second one. She completely disregarded the fact that her mouth was stuffed to the brim as she asked in a slurred voice.
An Lin chuckled. "Of course! This is called Dabai Ignores Stuffed Buns, and it's very famous in the Celestial Court! "
Lan Yan looked at Dabai upon hearing this name, and she suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha … Hmm …"
She was already eating her bun when she suddenly burst into laughter. Her face turned green and her eyes widened.
Rolling her eyes, Xu Xiaolan walked over and patted Lan Yan's back. "I told you not to laugh when you're eating, but you didn't listen. You choked again, didn't you?"
An Lin: "…"
Lan Yan, who had finally calmed down, continued to laugh. "Hahaha … But the name 'Dabai Ignores Buns' is too funny. Speaking of which, is this Dabai an idiot? How could he ignore such delicious buns, hahaha …"
"Pfft …" This time, not to mention Lan Yan, even An Lin and Xu Xiaolan burst into laughter.
Dabai's eyes widened. "Big Brother An, she's bullying dogs! Woof! "
An Lin stroked the dog's head and rewarded a steamer of Dabai Ignores Buns to Dabai to appease its rage.
Lan Yan and Xu Xiaolan chatted and laughed as they made their way toward the sect while An Lin followed behind them on Dabai's back.
Along the way, many sect disciples turned to look at them.
Most of them were looking at the two beauties, but some of them were saying that An Lin looked a little familiar, and that dog was even more so. In the end, they came to a sudden realization when they saw the adorably ugly monkey.
Holy f * ck! Isn't this the Bully An who stole our Goddess Xu Xiaolan?!
Immediately afterward, An Lin drew a few hostile glares from time to time, which he enjoyed very much. He was thinking about when a villain would jump out to provoke him.
After all, he hadn't had a chance to flex after progressing to the Soul Formation Stage, so he needed some blind disciples to farm experience for him. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any sense of accomplishment in cultivating.
However, things didn't go as planned. Aside from some hostile glares from the disciples, nothing else happened.
An Lin followed Xu Xiaolan into the inner courtyard of the sect.
A wave of extremely comfortable flame energy rushed toward him, making his entire body feel at ease.
On both sides of the path were maple leaves that were as red as fire, making them appear as dazzling as the clouds. A cool breeze blew past, and a few maple leaves could be seen dancing in the wind. They were like blazing fire fairies, slowly circling and dancing in the air.
At the end of this path, there was a white pavilion that was over a hundred feet tall. It was ancient and majestic, and a faint aura of energy revolved around it, making it appear as if a huge beast was crouching in the air.
"Junior Sister, I'll wait for you at the dao platform." Lan Yan waved her hand in farewell.
An Lin knew that there was a Dao Enlightenment Fire God Rock at the dao platform of the Vermilion Bird Sect. If Xu Xiaolan wanted to awaken her domain, that place would be very helpful.
"Elder Zhu Yuanzhou will be in charge of your matters later. His temper isn't very good, so remember to be polite to him." Xu Xiaolan turned to An Lin and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, there's nothing that can't be solved with a steamer of stuffed buns. If there are, then I'll make ten steamers! "An Lin replied with a confident expression.
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. "If you really piss off Elder Zhu, then even a hundred steamers of stuffed buns won't be enough!"
Soon, the two of them arrived at the pavilion and stood outside the door on the top floor.
Two red-robed sect disciples stood outside the door with solemn expressions and powerful auras emanating from their bodies. They didn't even take a second glance at An Lin and the others.
Xu Xiaolan bowed respectfully outside the door. "Vermilion Bird Sect disciple Xu Xiaolan requests to see Elder Zhu."
"Haha, so it's you, Xiaolan. I've heard about you, come in." A hearty and coarse voice sounded from within the door.
The door opened on its own, and An Lin was greeted by the sight of a middle-aged man with crimson hair and a bright smile on his face.
"You must be Xu Xiaolan's good friend, An Lin, am I right?" Elder Zhu asked with a smile.
An Lin immediately bowed respectfully. "Junior An Lin pays his respects to Elder Zhu."
Elder Zhu chuckled and stroked his long beard with a hint of a smile on his face. "I heard that you want to obtain the holy flame of our sect? Why don't you officially join our Vermilion Bird Sect and become a core disciple? That way, you'll be able to get close to us, hmm? "
An Lin faltered upon hearing this. Why did this make him feel … as if he had been caught red-handed? He was feeling a little panicked.
Before he could recover from his shock, Xu Xiaolan immediately flared up with rage. "Elder Zhu! I've already arranged for him to become an in-name disciple of the sect, don't go back on your word! "
Elder Zhu didn't get angry in the face of Xu Xiaolan's rebuke. Instead, a smug expression appeared on his face. "See, An Lin hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already siding with him?"
Xu Xiaolan blushed upon hearing this, and she opened her mouth to say something. In the end, she decided not to waste her breath on him and brought out twenty steamers of stuffed buns from her storage ring.
Slap!
The twenty steamers of stuffed buns were stacked neatly on the ground, reaching all the way to the ceiling.
Elder Zhu blinked with confusion at the sight of the tall pile of stuffed buns. "Xiaolan, what are you …"
"These are gifts that An Lin brought for you. Ten steamers are for you, and the other ten are for the Sect Leader!" Xu Xiaolan snapped.
Elder Zhu laughed heartily upon hearing this. "An Lin sure is an interesting person. This is the first time I've seen someone give stuffed buns as a gift. Alright, I'll give it a try. "
He shook his head. He couldn't blame his junior for being inconsiderate, so he just treated it as a joke.
Elder Zhu took a bite of most of the stuffed buns and was just about to compliment them on how delicious they were when his body suddenly shuddered and he began to chew like crazy …
He looked at An Lin in shock before turning to look at the calm and collected Xu Xiaolan before continuing to eat his stuffed buns!
One minute later, the entire steamer of stuffed buns had been devoured.
"My dear niece, my big brother isn't at the sect, so I'll be taking all of these stuffed buns in case they go bad." Elder Zhu chuckled as his eyes lit up, and he instantly stowed all nineteen steamers of stuffed buns into his storage ring.
Xu Xiaolan shot a glance at Elder Zhu and harrumphed lightly. "This is the first time I've heard that food can go bad after being stored in a storage ring …"
"Hmm …" Elder Zhu blushed as he waved his sleeve. "I'll take care of Mr. An Lin, so there's no need for you to give the stuffed buns to the Sect Leader!"
An Lin suddenly felt like there was a lot of information to take in as he listened to this conversation.
Niece? Big brother?
No wonder he felt like the conversation between Xu Xiaolan and Elder Zhu was a little strange. So the two of them were f * cking relatives! Even the Sect Leader was Xu Xiaolan's uncle!
An Lin couldn't help but look up into the sky as he heaved a forlorn sigh.
In this materialistic society, no matter where he went, he would meet a group of people who came from connections. Pure geniuses like him were rare.
