Another nauseating rush of dizziness ensued.
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni appeared within a forest.
They began searching through the forest for the treasure of this world.
The forest was very big, and there were all types of ferocious beasts and poisonous plants that attacked them, but all of them were vanquished by underling Lan Xiaoni.
An Lin couldn’t be bothered to take care of pieces of trash like these. Hence, Lan Xiaoni took on the job to try and demonstrate her value in the hope that An Lin would see how much she was contributing and give the treasure of this world to her as a gift.
Of course, this was just her delusion.
An Lin continued onward with a buoyant grin as he enjoyed the fruits of Lan Xiaoni’s labors.
It was pretty enjoyable having an underling to take care of all the small fry.
Lan Xiaoni could deal with most of the hazards here, so he didn’t need to worry.
The two of them continued deeper and deeper into the forest.
All of a sudden, an inky-black vine shot forth like a sharp sword, piercing through Lan Xiaoni’s water barrier and binding around her body.
“Ah…!”
Lan Xiaoni screamed as her body was bound by the vine, thereby temporarily immobilizing her.
The inky-black vine bound her smooth, long fishtail, her slender waist, her snowy white arms, and her voluptuous breasts. Her white ball almost tore through the blue strip of silk around her waist as it burst forth.
During her struggles, Lan Xiaoni had exposed every glorious inch of her body!
An Lin was in shock as he stared blankly at this marvelous spectacle.
Rope play?
Awesome!
“Hahaha… Don’t even think about approaching the king of the forest! I’ll end you both right here, right now!” A massive black tree walking on its tree roots made its way toward them with a sinister smile.
Another inky-black vine flew at extreme speed toward where An Lin was standing!
An Lin was just about to make a move when a powerful aura exploded forth from nearby.
“Filthy pervert, I’ll kill you!”
Lan Xiaoni was enraged beyond belief.
Water burst forth from her body, and the vine around her instantly torn apart as she escaped from the range of the vine like a nimble fish. At the same time, her little blue fish pierced through the air and punctured the huge tree monster’s head.
“Die die die die!”
Lan Xiaoni continued to vent her rage and used her little blue fish to reduce the huge tree to a giant piece of holey cork before dicing its vines into tiny cubes of wood.
In short, the tree monster had suffered an extremely gruesome fate!
An Lin felt like his horizons had been broadened significantly. He had witnessed Lan Xiaoni’s transformation from a little kitten to a vicious tigress.
The huge tree monster was as dead as dead could be, and Lan Xiaoni finally ceased her attacks.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she panted heavily as the snowy-white peaks on her chest rose and fell, providing more marvelous scenery for An Lin’s viewing pleasure.
“You… you didn’t see anything… right?” Lan Xiaoni bit down on her lower lip as she spoke with a pitiable expression.
Getting bound by that tree monster had been far too embarrassing, so she wanted nothing better than to have An Lin forget what he had seen.
A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “How could I have not seen anything? I’m not blind!”
“You!” Lan Xiaoni’s eyes widened with rage, and her chest wobbled with rage again as she clenched her fists.
“What? I’m telling you the truth.” An Lin’s expression darkened as an overwhelming might erupted from his body.
“You’re right, I’m sorry!” Lan Xiaoni hung her head and apologized with an aggrieved expression.
After that, the two of them forged on ahead.
Lan Xiaoni was still struggling to recover from her embarrassment, and a residual blush remained on her face.
As they dwelled deeper and deeper into the forest, monsters as powerful as the tree monster began to appear with increasing regularity. She didn’t dare to let her guard down and could only constantly keep her little blue fish by her side to protect her.
“Hahaha… You want to kill the king of the forest? You’ll have to defeat me first!
“Pwah… Ah…”
Lan Xiaoni slew a huge ape expressionlessly.
“I swear to protect the king of the forest with my life! Eat this! Flying Lethal Poison String!
“Pwah… Long live the king of the forest…”
Lan Xiaoni slew a huge red spider with a tranquil expression.
“I am the Demonic Frog Guardian! Your path ends here!”
Boom boom boom…
Thus, Lan Xiaoni engaged in a fierce battle with a frog that was wielding twin swords. Sword intent surged and huge waves swept through the forest as their spell techniques clashed, razing the forest within a radius of over a kilometer to the ground.
In the end, Lan Xiaoni defeated the Demonic Frog Guardian by slicing its body in half with a blade of water.
She turned to An Lin with a smug expression, as if to say “am I bad*ss or what?”.
An Lin gave his underling the praise she was seeking. “Bad*ss!”
They then encountered the most powerful boss of the forest, the Green Wood Forest Dragon.
An Lin immediately unleashed a sword strike that almost sliced the entire forest in half!
The Green Wood Forest Dragon had been insta-killed…
Lan Xiaoni was frightened by the Green Wood Forest Dragon’s terrifying aura and didn’t even have a chance to unleash her trump cards before the battle ended.
An Lin grabbed the Green Jade Tree Root with an expression of contentment.
He had insta-killed the final boss and picked up another spectacular treasure. Life was good.
Lan Xiaoni: “…”
Tears finally began to flow from her eyes again.
What had all her prior efforts come to?
She initially thought that she would have an opportunity to compete for the treasure in this forest. However, she didn’t even get a chance to attack before An Lin insta-killed the boss. F*ck that!
Lan Xiaoni had been plunged into complete despair by An Lin’s unfathomable power.
She didn’t even have the courage to compete with An Lin for the treasures anymore.
A burst of dizziness ensued.
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni appeared once again in that extremely cavernous chamber.
An Lin activated his Divine Inspection Technique on the Green Jade Tree Root again.
[Sea Essence Vital Wood: This is the essence of a wood that is a result of a wilted Sea God Tree in the Lethal Storm Realm of the West Sea that has been struck by falling lightning for ten thousand years without being charred. It is imbued with the essence of life and lightning and is a divine-rank material.]
An Lin was ecstatic. Another divine-rank material!
Divine-rank materials were even more valuable than immortal tools.
This tomb was a massive piggy bank for him!
However, it made sense. After all, this was a tomb where two Dao Integration Stage High Priests had been buried together. It would be a bit strange if there weren’t any divine rank treasures.
Furthermore, this tomb was designed for the Soul Formation Stage prodigies of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe and the Spirit Fish Clan. They couldn’t just set up Return to Void Stage trials as those would be suicide missions for their adorable Soul Formation Stage successors!
Hence, these trials would only be extremely difficult for normal Soul Formation Stage prodigies.
Unfortunately, a living hack like An Lin who could even abuse Return to Void Stage mighty figures had found his way into the sect.
As such, An Lin could only reluctantly accept these treasures.
With this in mind, he turned to Lan Xiaoni before heaving a forlorn sigh. “Sigh, these trials are so boring. They’re just giving me treasures for free! All of them are only suitable for weak cultivators like you.”
Lan Xiaoni was dumbstruck. She didn’t think that An Lin was going to pile more salt onto her wounds!
She stared blankly at An Lin as tears flowed from her eyes again.
The mermaid princess sobbed. “If you think these trials are only suitable for weak cultivators like me, then why don’t you let me have a go?”
An Lin nodded. “Sure. You’ll be responsible for killing the monsters and having all the fun. I’ll just pick up the treasures after you’re done.”
“Pfff…” Lan Xiaoni threw up three liters of blood.
