Chapter 1081: Bidding Farewell to the Gorgeous Mermaid Princess
An Lin sat in a leisurely manner on the sea island as he meditated.
All of the Spirit Fish Clan and Heavenly Turtle Tribe mighty figures had either gone back to their tribes or were standing in the distance with expressions of reverence on their faces. They didn’t dare to disturb An Lin, but they also really wanted to personally bid farewell to An Lin in order to express the veneration in their hearts.
The light of dawn slowly appeared over the sky, and the relentless waves of the ocean crashed gently into the shore of the island.
Tina and the Jade Bone Immortal Bug were both sitting on An Lin’s shoulder, looking into the horizon at the glorious rising sun.
“Giant An Lin, you’re a liar! How could you swindle everyone like this…” Tina grumbled in a quiet voice.
An Lin retorted with a serious expression, “Why are you criticizing me? I didn’t ask them for presents, it was them that insisted on giving me presents. I simply didn’t want to crush their hopes by rejecting them.”
Tina rolled her eyes and turned her head around to ignore An Lin.
An Lin had managed to explain the situation to his two beast pets with great difficulty, telling them how he really wasn’t some manifestation of the Heavenly Dao’s sentient will and that it was only a fabricated story.
The beast pets finally believed him before then turning against him and expressing their dismay at how he had swindled the two tribes into giving him presents…
They were actually just bored. It was pretty fun criticizing their shameless master from time to time.
As the sun began to rise over the horizon, living beings from the Spirit Fish Clan began to travel toward them over the waves.
Lan Xingyang, Yu Feiyu, and a bunch of other mighty figures arrived.
An Lin also saw a very familiar figure among them.
“What a beautiful mermaid!”
Even Tina couldn’t help but let loose a cry of surprise.
An Lin nodded in agreement. Underling Lan has fulfilled all of my fantasies toward mermaids. Perfect!
Lan Xiaoni had already spotted An Lin from the distance.
She was initially planning to fly joyfully toward him, but she managed to catch herself before she did so. She was trying to display another facet of herself to An Lin. She wanted her current image to be unforgettable to him. That was her objective, so she had to act the part as well!
Hence, Lan Xiaoni repressed her impulsive urges.
Instead, she advanced slowly and elegantly toward An Lin before descending by his side like a graceful Celestial Maiden.
Stray strands of her hair danced in the wind, and a refreshing scent wafted from her body.
“Big Boss An Lin,” Lan Xiaoni greeted with a smile.
She was the princess of the Spirit Fish Clan, so it felt a little weird calling someone else Big Boss all the time. However, she didn’t really care about that right now. Furthermore, she was already used to it anyway.
A surprised expression appeared on An Lin’s face. “Underling Lan, you sure are looking beautiful today.”
Lan Xiaoni blushed slightly upon hearing this, and her blue eyes rippled with an enticing light. “Hmm… I spruced myself up a little before coming. I’m here to bid farewell to you after all.”
At this moment, Lan Xingyang laughed heartily. “Sorry to make you wait for so long, Mr. An Lin. I have prepared a small present for you as a gesture of gratitude.”
He passed a storage ring to An Lin as he spoke.
An Lin nodded slightly and accepted the storage ring with a nonchalant expression. He didn’t even take a second look at the storage ring, as if all of the money and treasures of this world were nothing to him.
Lan Xingyang didn’t really take this to heart. Instead, he showed great self-awareness by leading everyone away. “I’ll be taking my leave then. Feel free to have a chat with my daughter.”
In his eyes, this Heavenly Dao representative had to have quite a bit to say to his underling.
Everyone gradually left.
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni sat on the island side by side, looking up at the rising sun on the horizon.
The warm light of the sun fell upon Lan Xiaoni, shining on a beautiful phosphorescent jewel in the shape of a butterfly on her forehead, which glowed with a faint golden light.
She supported her chin in her hands as she looked into the distance. “Big Boss An Lin, was what you said last night about leading the human race to greater heights true?”
An Lin shook his head. “It was just a lie to prevent the human race from coming under attack. I could only lead everyone in the opposite direction in order to avoid suspicions. However… if anyone wants to destroy the human race, I’ll be sure to kill them first! Even the Heavenly Sea God is no exception.”
The light in Lan Xiaoni’s eyes dimmed slightly. “What if that person is me…”
An Lin faltered slightly. “What are you saying? You’re my underling, don’t think about unnecessary stuff like this!”
“I’m really scared. I’m scared that the power within my body would make me a different person, or suddenly influence my personality…”
Lan Xiaoni recoiled as tears began to well up in her eyes. “You know how terrifying that Heavenly Sea God is. Would it really just give me its inheritance without setting up some measures to ensure that I would complete the mission it had assigned to me?”
Lan Xiaoni was not happy at all after receiving the Heavenly Sea God’s inheritance.
On the contrary, that invincible blue figure had been lingering in her mind this entire time, striking her with a sense of horror and powerlessness.
Right at this moment, a warm hand gently caressed Lan Xiaoni’s head.
“If that day really does come, I’ll bash you to your senses. After that, I will kill the Heavenly Sea God. Don’t forget that I’m your big boss! I’ve got your back. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll make them pay the ultimate price!”
Lan Xiaoni turned to the man wearing a firm and confident expression beside her, and the tears in her eyes began to flow down her cheeks, but a vibrant smile appeared on her face, as if she were a gorgeous flower blossoming under the light of the rising sun.
“I believe in you, Big Boss An Lin.
“Alright then, Big Boss An Lin. I’ll rule over the West Sea first, and then, I will become your most powerful ally!”
“Gasp… Those are some domineering words! Underling Lan, you’ve changed.”
“This is my duty as an underling. Don’t forget to make regular visits to the West Sea, Big Boss An Lin.”
“Don’t worry, I promise I’ll make frequent visits.”
“Then it’s a deal. Let’s shake on… no, let’s hug on it!”
Thus, a warm, delectable body fell into An Lin’s arms.
This was the first time An Lin and Lan Xiaoni had exchanged a proper embrace.
The two of them embracing one another on the island under the light of the rising sun was quite a beautiful image. Tina silently captured the moment in a photographic crystal from nearby.
This was not something she wanted to do, but instead, it was something that Xue Zhantian had requested for her to do. She didn’t know why, but since it was just taking a photo, there should be no problems, right?
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni talked for a while longer.
The power of water Lan Xiaoni had inherited was indeed very strange. The power she had received was undeniable, but her mission was really abstract. There weren’t even any measures that had been taken to hold her accountable.
Was the Heavenly Sea God taking a gamble on the integrity of her character?
An Lin didn’t know what to do about this either, so they could only leave it alone for now.
Not long after this, a turtle head crashed through space before descending upon the island.
Gu Yu had also arrived with a present.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. An Lin. I was struggling to find a suitable present for you, and I was delayed as a result.
“If you were a normal cultivator, I would just give you some spirit stones, but Mr. An Lin is clearly beyond that…”
An Lin opened his mouth to say something, but he decided against it in the end.
Spirit stones were what he needed the most right now!
“Seeing as you’re still slowly awakening your power, I thought that it would be best to give you something that will ensure your safety. Hence, I used a divine-rank material of our Heavenly Turtle Tribe, the Heavenly Star Dark Shell, as a foundation in which I injected my most powerful defensive spell technique!
“This Heavenly Star Dark Shell can be activated a total of three times, and each time it is activated, it can defend against a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure’s attacks for ten consecutive minutes…”
Gu Yu spat out a black turtle shell roughly the size of a palm as it spoke.
To a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, this would undoubtedly be the most sought-after life-saving treasure.
However, An Lin’s lips twitched upon seeing this. “Is everyone in your Heavenly Turtle Tribe like this?”
“What do you mean?” Gu Yu was confused.
“No… Nothing. Thank you for your present, Senior Gu Yu.” An Lin accepted the black turtle shell with a smile. The only problem was, Tian Chenji’s inheritance was also something similar to this…
An Lin was probably going to become the most power Soul Formation Stage cultivator in this world in terms of defensive prowess!
