Everything was blurry and indistinct.
An Lin discovered that he had been trapped in a furnace with boundless scorching flames burning his body, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain from the scorching pain.
A bucket of cold water suddenly poured over him, drenching him from head to toe.
What was it like to have a piece of hot metal suddenly poured over with cold water?
An Lin's body sizzled and spasmed, and he completely fainted from the pain.
Within the darkness.
He gradually regained consciousness, and an extremely warm and refreshing feeling enshrouded his body.
The terrifying scorching pain seemed to have disappeared, and he felt as if he had fallen into a warm embrace. His entire body was so comfortable that he didn't want to get up.
However, An Lin still forced his eyes open. He was not greeted by the blinding fireball. Instead, he was greeted by a faint white light that was cool and gentle.
"This is …" An Lin's heart jolted as he sat up from the water.
He looked around at his surroundings with astonishment. This was far too familiar. Wasn't this the Heart Examining Lake where he had encountered the Vermilion Bird Princess for the second time? And he was lying in the lake where the Vermilion Bird Princess had bathed!
"Shameless An, you're finally awake." A pleasant voice suddenly sounded.
An Lin turned toward the white mist, and an adorable young woman walked out from it before staring intently at An Lin's body with her big, bright eyes.
An Lin only came to his senses now. He was completely nude!
He immediately pulled out a set of clothes from his storage ring and changed into them in the blink of an eye. "Oi, you're the shameless one! You're the first person to look at my body in such a blatant manner! "
The Vermilion Bird Princess pursed her lips upon hearing this. "Yi Li is the first, alright?"
She then continued, "Also, you've seen Yi Li's naked body! Why don't you admit that you're a shameless pervert? You have to take responsibility for her! "
"Gasp …" An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath as his eyes widened. "I've seen a f * cking naked fireball, and that counts as seeing Yi Li's naked body? Responsibility my a * s! Where's the justice in this world?! "
He then realized something, and he exclaimed in shock, "Wait, wasn't I on the ninth level? How did you get me back here? "
The Vermilion Bird Princess harrumphed lightly as she raised her beautiful oval face. "You were blasted half-dead by Yi Li, and Yi Li couldn't think of a way to save you. She knew that this lake on the seventh level had rich yin-type power, which was very effective in treating burns, so she brought you here."
An Lin nodded with a skeptical expression upon hearing this. At the same time, he realized that the dream he had during his unconsciousness really was a reality!
Don't think that you won't feel pain just because you're asleep. That kind of body would still remember the pain.
"Thank you, Vermilion Bird Princess." No matter what, An Lin still expressed his gratitude.
The Vermilion Bird Princess waved a hand with a nonchalant expression. "You've been lying in my lake for five or six days now, and you've basically recovered from your injuries. You're no longer the guardian of the Sun Tree.
An Lin paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Vermilion Bird Princess, aren't you curious about why I'm going to kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree?"
One had to realize that the Vermilion Bird Princess was very excited about this. However, the Vermilion Bird Princess didn't seem to be interested in the slightest. Something was definitely wrong!
"Ehehe …" A dumb smile appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess' face. "I was too busy treating your injuries to ask about it."
She widened her bright eyes and asked curiously, "What happened to you? Did you kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree? How did it feel? "
"I don't have the right to see the guardian of the Sun Tree. She was the one who teleported you into this lake. I was really scared at the time. Did she hit you?"
The Vermilion Bird Princess cocked her head to the side with a curious and innocent expression.
An Lin felt as if a sword had been stabbed into his heart upon hearing her last sentence, and he recalled back to the horror of being dominated by Yi Li's flames.
Yi Li didn't hit him, but it was even more terrifying …
He forced a smile onto his face. "I did, but it didn't feel too bad. I was blasted a few times by accident."
After giving a few more perfunctory replies, he decided to leave.
He had completed his mission, so there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.
"I'm going now, Vermilion Bird Princess. If you ever come to the Kingdom of the Nine States, you can contact me." An Lin waved goodbye.
"You're leaving just like that? You're not going to stay and play around with the Sun Tree? "The Vermilion Bird Princess took a couple of steps forward and looked up at An Lin.
"No, I still have a lot of things to take care of." An Lin shook his head with a smile. "By the way, let's exchange voice transmission talismans first."
"Sure." The Vermilion Bird Princess agreed without hesitation.
The two of them injected their auras into the voice transmission talismans.
An Lin didn't linger any longer, and he bade farewell to the beautiful woman in a colorful dress. "Goodbye, Vermilion Bird Princess."
The woman harrumphed lightly before turning away. "Shameless An, do you know how dangerous it is to force a kiss on a girl now? I hope you'll learn from that! "
An Lin's lips twitched upon hearing this. Was she still trying to stab him in the back?
"Goodbye, Lin An." The extremely pleasant voice sounded again.
"Goodbye, Vermilion Bird Princess." An Lin stepped onto the Heart Examining Lake and began to make his way back.
He turned to look at the woman behind him as he prayed in his heart.
Goodbye, Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird.
The battle at the arena and the inheritance bestowed upon him by the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird had only raised some suspicions in his mind. However, the encounter at the Heart Examining Lake, where he was pummeled without being able to put up any resistance, as well as the fact that he knew about going to the ninth level, had completely verified the Vermilion Bird Princess' identity.
The Vermilion Bird Princess looked on as his figure disappeared into the white mist, and she prayed in her heart.
Goodbye, An Lin.
She had already guessed An Lin's identity after that battle at the arena.
However, the two of them tacitly chose not to expose each other and got along as friends.
…
An Lin walked over the surface of the lake and passed through bursts of white mist before finally arriving at the entrance of the Heart Examining Lake.
"Huh? Have Hei Tengge and Bai Xingge already disappeared? "He looked around.
Unbeknownst to him, the two of them were extremely anxious as they waited for An Lin to return. They had thought that An Lin had already been slapped to death by the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird for trespassing on her territory.
They had already turned themselves in a long time ago, so why would they wait here like idiots?
"Sigh, I remember that Bai Xingge lost to me, and he still owes me three Sun Immortal Fruits from the seventh level. Now that he's gone, who am I going to ask for the fruits from? What a loss … "An Lin heaved a faint sigh before making his way out of the cave.
The Sun Immortal Fruits were actually quite useful, and it would be a good idea to bring one or two for fire-type cultivators like Xiaolan to try.
As soon as he made his way out of the cave, he was greeted by the sight of a huge parrot standing at the entrance.
The parrot spoke in perfect Tai Chu Language, "Excuse me, are you Cultivator An of the Great Sparrow Forest?"
Cultivator An of the Great Sparrow Forest?
What the f * ck was that?!
An Lin's face convulsed slightly, and he nodded with a resigned expression. "I am. What can I do for you?"
