Qing Hu City was a city that never slept, and tonight was certainly no exception. The representatives from the Creation Realm and the rest of the Tai Chu Continent celebrated to their hearts’ content until the crack of dawn.
An Lin and the others also enjoyed themselves till the crack of dawn.
Bai Yao and Xiao Chou also enjoyed themselves till the crack of dawn.
But none of that was important.
The important thing was that An Lin managed to open that mysterious puzzle box and successfully proved that he was a man with an IQ!
After opening the box, he discovered a blue piece of paper with a diagram on it.
The diagram consisted of a series of white dots and complex lines that had An Lin completely dumbstruck.
“Is this a spell formation? It doesn’t look like it…” He was confused.
He had no choice but to use his “ask a friend” lifeline.
“This… looks like a map,” Xuanyuan Cheng suggested.
Liu Qianhuan nodded. “This should be the star coordinate map of a certain place!”
A star coordinate map?
This was the first time An Lin had heard about something like this. “What is a star coordinate map?”
As a knowledgeable and experienced disciple, Xiao Ze provided a patient answer to his master’s question. “A star coordinate map is a map which is drawn from setting coordinates, which are determined by looking up at the stars from a certain location.
“Look here, Master, these white dots indicate the location of the stars, while the white lines represent the orbital paths of these stars. If we look up at the night sky from different locations, there will be minute differences.
“A star coordinate map is essentially a map of the starry night sky captured at midnight on the dot from a certain location.”
An Lin was dumbstruck. “What… How are you supposed to discern the location? The Tai Chu Continent is absolutely massive! Are we supposed to travel across the entire continent and look up at the stars to see if it matches this map? That’s absurd!”
“An Lin, have you forgotten that there is an occupation known as stargazing?” Liu Qianhuan’s eyes flashed with a mysterious light. “There are certain living beings who are born with a particular sensitivity to the stars in the sky. They can use the stars to predict fortunes and use the eyes of the stars to see everything in this world.
“In other words, they can draw on the power of the stars to project themselves onto this map and perhaps ascertain the indicated location!”
Liu Qianhuan’s explanation was quite abstract.
However, An Lin was used to all sorts of weird and wacky things now, and he quickly accepted this explanation.
This world was massive, and there were living beings with all sorts of different gifts and abilities.
As such, he didn’t think that it was implausible for these stargazers to exist.
“Then who do you think will be able to decipher this map?” An Lin asked.
Liu Qianhuan thought for a moment before replying, “The Spirit Fish Clan and the Heavenly Turtle Tribe are renowned for their stargazing and divination abilities. Most of their mighty figures are quite proficient at deciphering star coordinate maps like this. Perhaps living beings from those two tribes can help us.”
An Lin’s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
However, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
This was something Spirit Fish Clan mighty figures were into, but it was in Chen Hao’s possession for some reason.
Spirit Fish Clan, Chen Hao, Black Fox Tribe, marriage…
Could all of this have something to do with the map in the box?
An Lin’s interest had been piqued.
Could it be that the map pointed to the location of a treasure left behind by a man who possessed wealth, status, power, and everything in this world?
Could this be a treasure that would lead everyone in this world to the ocean…
An Lin’s eyes began to burn with a scorching light.
This was a map that would lead him to One Piece!
He was going to be the pirate king for sure!
Xu Xiaolan noticed An Lin’s expression and immediately put a stop to any plans that were hatching in his mind. “You’re only allowed to go after you recover from your injuries.”
“Oh.” An Lin nodded obediently as the flames in his eyes were snuffed out.
Everyone rested for another day at the White Fox Imperial Palace.
On the second night after the wedding, Xiao Chou finally hobbled out while using the wall for support.
An Lin, Xuanyuan Cheng, Da Bai, and all the other males present were astonished!
Not even a single one of them went to help Xiao Chou despite the clear difficulty he was having while walking.
F*ck off! There was no need for a winner like him to receive help from losers like them!
He had been crippled by happiness! No one wanted to go disrupt him. Instead, all of them wanted to leave.
“I’ve decided that I want a vixen as my wife.” After witnessing the exquisitely beautiful Bai Yao and Xiao Chou’s hobble of happiness, Tang Ximen finally came to this decision.
An Lin sneered coldly, “There’s no point. Even if the vixen can last this long, do you think you can last as long as Xiao Chou?”
Tang Ximen: “…”
Tang Ximen felt like he had been attacked.
Xiao Chou hobbled his way over to them.
An Lin looked at Xiao Chou and forced a smile onto his face. “You guys just finished?”
Xiao Chou faltered slightly before nodding. “That’s right. I’m so tired from depleting all my yang energy.”
Everyone chuckled coldly.
Xiao Chou was a little befuddled. Was it something he had said?
In order to save Bai Yao, he had mixed his yang with her yin for an entire day, neutralizing the terrifying power of her Frosty Yang Root with his Dark God Divine Flame this entire time, thereby resulting in overexertion of his yang energy.
Why was everyone looking at him with shock and self-pity?
“Come on, Xiao Chou has worked hard today, so I’m going to personally cook a delicious feast for us all.” Xu Xiaolan held the frying pan with the poise of a Chef God as a sense of prestige exuded from her beautiful features.
Everyone’s chest constricted upon hearing this.
Worked hard my *ss! Can we have some hard work like this as well!?
Xiao Chou was quite touched and expressed his gratitude to Xu Xiaolan.
Not only was his master so good to him, but even his master’s dao partner-to-be was also very kind and thoughtful!
This really was a warm and loving family!
Bai Yao appeared soon with a delicate flush on her cheeks.
She had clearly been nurtured quite well.
Xu Xiaolan inquired with a smile, “Little Yao, how is your current condition?”
A gentle and shy smile appeared on her face as she replied in a soft and seductive voice, “My Frosty Yang Root is fine now. It was all thanks to Xiao Chou’s painstaking efforts.”
An Lin: “…”
Everyone: “…”
That night, Xu Xiaolan cooked a large dish of stir-fry tiger kidney!
Xu Xiaolan: “Come on, Xiao Chou, Little Yao, have some to replenish yourselves!”
An Lin and the others had tears streaming down their faces. None of them needed to replenish anything as they didn’t even have the chance to expend anything!
But who could empathize with their broken hearts?
Xiao Chou was quite touched and expressed his gratitude to Xu Xiaolan.
Not only was his master so good to him, but even his master’s dao partner-to-be was also very kind and thoughtful! Even her cooking was made with thought and catered to his needs.
This really was a warm and loving family!
This was a dinner feast filled with joy interwoven with sorrow.
Everyone stayed another day at Qing Hu City.
Bai Yao bade farewell to the White Fox Tribe to be with her husband. This gorgeous white fox princess was going to be the newest addition to the Four Nine Immortal Sect family.
“Little Yao, make sure to visit regularly. You will always have a second home here.” Bai Muyu had tears in her eyes as she hugged her daughter tightly.
“Alright, Mother.” Bai Yao also had tears streaming down her face as she held her mother in a tight embrace.
All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members boarded their flying saucer aircraft and waved farewell to all of the beautiful vixens and handsome male foxes of the Fox Tribe before rising into the sky, where they disappeared into the clouds.
An Lin and the others had left, but a large incident was only just brewing.
