Xixia City. Dusk gradually deepened.
Red and purple lights intertwined, creating a scene that seemed both real and illusory, like a painting yet not a painting.
The dusk that was gradually losing its splendor enveloped the two people gazing at each other on the street, like an ancient and meaningful painting.
An Lin looked at the green-clothed woman before him. Her lithe and exquisite figure, her elegant and refined features, her bright and clear eyes, and her delicate lips that were as pink as peach blossoms. Everything was so beautiful …
However, there was a kind of pride that had seeped into her bones that had already disappeared. In order to save him, this woman had already become a mortal. She no longer had the right to be proud. She had already completely become a mortal who could not cultivate.
Even though An Lin had already deduced all of this using the Divine Simulation Technique, his mind still went completely blank when he saw Xu Xiaolan's appearance with his own eyes. He felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
He moved his lips and discovered that something was stuck in his throat.
Xu Xiaolan stared blankly at the man in front of her. His white hair was reflected in her eyes. Even though she no longer had any power, even though she was just a mortal, there was one thing that hadn't changed, and that was her heart.
She couldn't help but ask, "An Lin, what happened to your hair? Is it okay? "
An Lin shook his head and gazed deeply at Xu Xiaolan. However, his voice was trembling slightly as he said, "After you left me, I couldn't care about anything else. My only thought was to catch up to you and find you. I was really scared at the time. I was scared that you would disappear from my life just like that. I used the Divine Simulation Technique to track you down, but you ran too fast. I was scared that your trail would disappear. I didn't have time, so I could only use the Divine Simulation Technique again and again …
"I crossed countless snowy mountains and chased you from the Holy Glacial Lands to the Kingdom of the Nine States. I passed by the True Dragon Lightning Pit, the Myriad Star Heavenly Lake, the Thousand Autumns Lofty Mountain, the Green Immortal Sea, the Demonic Flower Garden … I walked through all of the scenery that you had been to.
"But in the end, I discovered that I couldn't use the Divine Simulation Technique anymore … Every time I used the Divine Simulation Technique, I would vomit blood, my heart would spasm, and I would almost faint … At that time, I was really panicked and scared. I followed your trail like a madman and searched every city. I never thought that I would miss you like this in this life. I won't allow it!
"If you run into trouble and no one can help you, what will you do? What would you do if you were lonely and had no one to accompany you? You're so pretty. What would you do if some blind villain bullied you? I just want to be by your side as soon as possible. I can't wait for even a second! "
"Fortunately, the heavens have mercy on us. We met each other so soon …"
Although An Lin's white hair fluttered in the wind and he had the demeanor of an expert, his eyes were now red. Like a stubborn child, he continued to speak to the green-clothed woman in front of him.
"Xu Xiaolan, I can't live without you. In my heart, you are my Dao companion for life! "
On the street at dusk, the frail green-clothed woman's face was already covered in tears.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew past.
Xu Xiaolan's delicate and soft body was embraced by An Lin, who hugged her tightly.
"Xiaolan, I like you. I've liked you since a very, very long time ago … So promise me, be my Dao companion," An Lin said in a gentle voice.
Xu Xiaolan's body trembled slightly as she shook her head with tears in her eyes. "No, I'm a mortal now. The path of immortals and mortals are different … I'll soon grow old, and my face will be covered in wrinkles. My body will become weaker and weaker. In the end, I'll turn into dust in front of you. I … I'm not worthy of you. "
An Lin's heart softened as he inhaled the faint fragrance of the woman in his arms. "You're so silly. The path of immortals and mortals are all bullsh * t. If we really want to compare age … I've expended so much of my lifespan, and there's a possibility that my lifespan will be even shorter than yours. Also, if we're comparing whose hair turns white first, I've already won."
Xu Xiaolan's heart shuddered upon hearing this, and she buried her head into An Lin's shoulder with a guilty and reproachful expression. "You shouldn't have come … You shouldn't have paid such a heavy price to come here! I've already planned to forget about you and start a new life … I don't know anything now, and I'm nothing. Why did you come to find me? It's not worth it.
"Can you stop saying things like you're not worthy of me or not worthy of me? If it weren't for you, I'd already be dead by now. I've seen many beautiful women, such as Chang 'e and Su Qianyun. Even though they're prettier than you … "
An Lin suddenly felt that his back was a little tight, and he immediately sped up. "But if they fall into the river at the same time as you, I'll definitely save you first! Because in my heart, they can't even compare to a single strand of your hair. Furthermore, your disposition is many times better than theirs! M-hm, that's the disposition of An Lin's Dao companion. "
Xu Xiaolan sniffled. "You're still not being serious even at a time like this …"
"We can talk about being serious, but when are we getting married?" An Lin asked.
Xu Xiaolan: "…"
She gently pushed An Lin away and wiped away the tears on her face. Her eyes were still shimmering with tears, making her appear even more alluring. Her frail body stood in the light of the setting sun, making her appear even more pitiful.
"So what if you're a mortal? I'll live with you, grow old with you, and take you wherever you want to go. We'll eat all of the delicious food in the world …" An Lin was a little scared and panicked, but he was trying his best to convince An Lin.
"Furthermore, it's not like there's no hope for your Dao foundation to recover …" He continued.
Xu Xiaolan shook her head with a forlorn expression. "That's impossible. I've never heard of anyone being able to recover a collapsed Dao foundation. Even if one's spirit root withered and their sea of vital energy dried up, it wouldn't be as severe as a collapsed Dao foundation."
"There's nothing that's impossible in this world. Don't you believe me?" An Lin looked deeply into Xu Xiaolan's eyes with an extremely determined expression. "When we were surrounded by the five Return to Void Stage snow maidens, did you think there was a chance that we could survive? When you left me alone, did you think there was a chance that I could find you again? "
Xu Xiaolan looked up at An Lin and moved her lips, but she didn't say anything.
An Lin continued, "That's why I say … I'm a man who can create miracles!"
Xu Xiaolan was a little speechless. She discovered that An Lin was indeed a man who could create many miracles. He was an incredible man. If there really was a chance for her to soar through the sky again, how could she be willing to give up on it?
An Lin was a little uneasy upon seeing the change in Xu Xiaolan's expression, but he had already seen a glimmer of hope.
"So … speaking of which, there's still something that we haven't taken care of," An Lin suddenly said.
Xu Xiaolan raised her head with a perplexed and curious expression on her face.
An Lin looked at the woman before him with a serious expression. "Xu Xiaolan, are you willing to become my Dao partner? I want to walk down this path with you. "
The two of them looked at each other in silence again. The afterglow of the setting sun, the drifting clouds, the streets of the ancient city, and the occasional cry of a falcon … None of this could conceal the thumping of their hearts.
A vibrant smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face. In that instant, even the colorful clouds in the sky paled in comparison. She was the epitome of all the beauty and beauty in this world.
An Lin stared at the woman before him in a daze. He felt like he would never forget this smile no matter how many tens of thousands of years passed.
The woman in the jade dress approached An Lin and stood on her toes. She raised her beautiful face and closed her eyes before kissing him lovingly.
Their soft lips touched, and the two of them embraced once again.
In that instant, the scene became eternal.
