After an emotional embrace, the two of them bowed toward the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue again.
"I will definitely do my best to repay your kindness, Senior!" Xu Xiaolan replied with a determined expression.
"Alright, how can I ask you juniors to repay me for something so trivial? I didn't do much anyway. The perfect bloodline transplant technique, the hidden True Dragon bloodline, and the Vermilion Bird true blood are the key to reconstructing your Dao foundation. "The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue stroked his white beard with a smile.
The Purple Golden Bell's voice sounded again, and the space around them began to warp.
Everyone returned to the Lan Lin Courtyard, but the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue was nowhere to be seen.
"An Lin, I really do have something I need your help with next time we meet. I hope you won't turn me down."
The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue's voice reverberated through the air.
An Lin bowed again. "I will do my best to help you when the time comes!"
Xu Xiaolan, the beast pets, and the four maids all bowed respectfully toward the sky to express their gratitude.
The White-Scaled Wolf God didn't think that even a legendary figure like the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue would need An Lin's help with something, and he was instantly struck by a sense of incredulity. Before he knew it, he had become even more respectful toward his master, and he became even more obedient.
"Xiaolan, you're already at the Soul Formation Initial Stage?" An Lin asked.
Xu Xiaolan nodded with a smile. "That's right. After absorbing the Vermilion Bird true blood essence, my domain has been perfected. During the reconstruction of my Dao foundation, I borrowed the power of the Holy Beast's bloodline to allow my spirit root to disperse, my consciousness to solidify, and my meridians to reach the Soul Formation Initial Stage. I didn't even have to face a Minor Lightning Tribulation. "
An Lin didn't understand what Xu Xiaolan was saying, but he felt like it was quite impressive.
A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he began to hold onto Xu Xiaolan's slender hand.
"What do you want to do?" A light blush appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face as she stared at An Lin.
A gentle smile appeared on An Lin's face as he pulled out a storage ring from his storage ring and slowly slipped it onto his finger. "Now, this storage ring shall be returned to its rightful owner."
Xu Xiaolan smiled sweetly, her eyes curved into cute crescent moons. "Nothing else?"
An Lin blinked. "What else?"
Xu Xiaolan curled her lips. "Nothing, let's continue playing mahjong."
Just like that, The Clown, Dabai, Xu Xiaolan, and An Lin continued to play mahjong, as if the previous incident had passed.
Dabai was enraged, and he transmitted his voice to An Lin. "Big Brother An, are you an idiot? Why didn't you express your gratitude earlier?!"
An Lin was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Dabai slapped his forehead. "It's such a joyous occasion, how can you not take the initiative? Give Celestial Maiden Xiaolan a present, give her a kiss, or take her to the heavens … Aren't you recovering your cultivation base? What can't you do then?! What's the point of continuing to play mahjong with her?! "
An Lin thought about it for a moment before coming to a sudden realization.
He extended an invitation with a nervous expression. "Xiaolan, the moon is so beautiful tonight. How about we go for a walk outside?"
Xu Xiaolan shook her head with a disinterested expression. "Forget it, we're already playing mahjong … Besides, it's getting late. Maybe next time."
Bam! She ate the three tiles that The Clown had tossed to her with two tiles of threes before placing them on the side of the table.
An Lin: "…"
An Lin felt like he had missed out on some precious opportunity, and a forlorn expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, the four maids were also discussing excitedly among themselves.
Little Qiu was the youngest among them. "Big Sister, that breeze-like thing is vital energy? It feels so special … "
Little Chun clenched her fists with excitement. "It must be vital energy! We're cultivators now! "
Little Dong nodded. "So that's what it means to be able to ascend to the heavens … The energy fluctuations caused by Master's recovery have allowed us to all become cultivators?"
Little Xia had an excited expression on her face. "We must follow Master! It's time for us to reach the pinnacle of our lives!"
Little Qiu gripped the hem of her clothes with a nervous expression. "But … will Master really take us with her?"
All of the maids fell silent upon hearing Little Qiu's words.
They could more or less guess what was going on from the conversation between An Lin and the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue.
Master had come to Xixia City because she had lost her power.
Now that she had recovered her power, it was very likely that she would leave.
They were only maids who had only interacted with Xu Xiaolan for a short period of time. It could even be said that they had only met by chance, so it was very normal for her to leave.
Right at this moment, Xu Xiaolan, who had been playing mahjong this entire time, turned to the maids who were whispering among themselves with a smile. "What are you all thinking? How could I abandon such an adorable girl? Tell your families tomorrow if they want to become in-name disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect with me, or if they want to stay in the Lan Lin Courtyard. "
The mouths of the four seasons all gaped open in shock. They didn't think that Xu Xiaolan would hear their whispers, nor did they think that Xu Xiaolan would allow them to make their own decisions.
All of the maids' eyes reddened, and they expressed their determination to follow Xu Xiaolan no matter what.
Setting aside the fact that their master was an extremely powerful figure, just her personality alone was enough to make them very fond of her.
Even though she didn't feed them frying pan food and often abused them … Aside from these flaws, she was still a perfect goddess!
They played mahjong until midnight, and An Lin and Xu Xiaolan bade goodnight before returning to their respective rooms to rest.
Even though An Lin was a little regretful tonight, he was still very blissful overall. After all, he had resolved an important matter in his life, and all of the knots in his heart had been untied. Hence, he slept with a smile on his face.
Xu Xiaolan returned to her room, and a sweet smile appeared on her face as she looked at her own beautiful features in the bronze mirror.
A thought then seemed to have occurred to her, and she grumbled under her breath, "Idiot" before going to bed.
Things were always so unpredictable. In just one night, she had reconstructed her dao foundation and regained her power. Not only that, but her cultivation base had also progressed to the Soul Formation Initial Stage.
Now that she thought about it, even though there were many coincidental factors, none of this would have happened if it weren't for a certain someone who chased after her with no regard for his own life …
It was a certain idiot's determination that saved her …
Xu Xiaolan covered half of her head with a blanket, revealing her exquisite nose and bright eyes. A hint of remorse suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Hmm … Would it have been better if I had accepted Beautiful Moonlight's invitation to go out with him …"
"No, I can't progress too quickly. There's still a probation period, and I'm not that easy to woo …
"But won't he be unhappy?"
"Who cares about him? There's still a long way to go …
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm still young. That's right, I'm still young … "
The night was as tranquil as water.
An Lin was fast asleep with a blissful expression on his face, but a certain woman was still daydreaming …
