An Lin was struck by a horrifying sense of deja vu.
He suddenly recalled the dreadful experience of being poisoned over and over again by Xiaolan.
“Xiaolan, you have to trust me; I really do love you.” He swallowed the green soup Xiaolan was spooning to him with tears in his eyes,
Wait a minute, it tastes pretty good…
An Lin was surprised to discover that the soup was quite delicious.
“How is it?” An enticing smile appeared on teenage Xiaolan’s face.
“Great! Anything you cook is delicious,” An Lin praised sincerely.
“Have some more if you like it. It’s healthy for both you and the environment…” Teenage Xiaolan fed An Lin with a soup spoon.
The two of them settled down to enjoy the meal and managed to ignore the fact that everything was green.
An Lin sampled every dish on the table to find that even though all of the dishes were green, they were all extremely delicious!
Xu Xiaolan was quite pleased with An Lin’s reaction and also began to tuck into the meal.
“The bloodlines of the six Vermilion Bird Sages are recovering very quickly, and they’ll be back to full power in a few days,” Xu Xiaolan said as she ate.
“That’s good to hear. Our forces will be better equipped to deal with the upcoming battle now.” An Lin nodded.
Xu Xiaolan then asked, “The Heavenly Sea God has already emerged in the West Sea, aren’t you worried about that?”
“Don’t worry, everything is under control. Yue Tong City has a teleportation spell formation that leads directly to the Immortal Land Above Water. If something happens, we can immediately teleport there.” An Lin was quite calm and collected.
Xu Xiaolan nodded. “The Heavenly Sea God doesn’t appear to be very aggressive at the moment, and the Heaven Crushing Sect must have devised some plans to deal with him as well.”
“That’s right, so we won’t need to worry about the West Sea for now.”
“That Lan Xiaoni is quite beautiful, isn’t she?”
“She is.”
Slap!
Teenage Xiaolan suddenly slapped her chopsticks onto the table.
“However, her beauty pales in comparison to my Xiaolan,” An Lin amended with a calm and collected expression as he took a sip of some green soup.
“Is that so? Lan Xiaoni is one of the most beautiful mermaids in the West Sea, and I’ve heard that you share a very good relationship with her.” Teenage Xiaolan picked up her chopsticks again.
“She’s a good friend of mine.” An Lin was still unfazed.
Teenage Xiaolan was right at the stage in her development where she would be going through puberty, and as such, she was quite prone to mood swings and jealousy.
An Lin was well aware of this and handled things like a seasoned veteran.
All cultivators were massive eaters as all of them could ingest and digest large amounts of food very quickly. An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were no exception to this, and they demolished the entire table of dishes very quickly.
The green dishes looked a little dodgy, but An Lin could say without a doubt that he had just had a very delicious meal.
After the meal, the two of them went to Silver Moon Lake and paddled a small boat over the lake’s placid surface while admiring the flowers on the banks.
Thus, a wonderful day passed by.
The next morning.
An Lin was meditating as usual.
The door to his room was suddenly pushed open.
A familiar, fragrant scent wafted toward him.
Immediately afterward, a pair of soft lips came into contact with his forehead.
An Lin opened his eyes to find an unimaginably beautiful woman looking at him with a faint smile, exuding an air of mature and refined beauty.
He was a little dumbstruck.
Not only did this woman have exquisitely beautiful features, but her figure also had all the right stuff in all the right places, and her skin was as supple as a peach that was ripe for the picking.
“It’s forty-year-old Xiaolan giving you a good morning kiss today.” Xu Xiaolan was a little shy as she glowered at An Lin. “Why do you keep looking down when my face is up here?”
An Lin faltered momentarily before coming to his senses, upon which an astonished expression appeared on his face. “Forty? D-didn’t you say you were going to revert back to your original form? Why are you so mature and so… so supple now?”
Xu Xiaolan’s brows furrowed in vexation. “I’m not sure myself… Ever since my cultivation base began to increase at a super quick rate, the age of my body has stayed at around twenty. No matter what I did, my appearance wouldn’t change, until I woke up today.”
She patted her chest, which was now a lot bigger than it was yesterday, and she heaved an annoyed sigh.
An Lin’s lips twitched imperceptibly. She was annoyed that her chest was bigger than before? Countless women would be dying to have this problem!
He sized up Xu Xiaolan carefully to find that she was a tiny bit full-bodied and was exuding a mature, enchanting aura. She was now even more bewitching and captivating to him.
All in all, An Lin was feeling very elated.
“Xiaolan, let me return that good morning kiss to you.”
…
A glorious morning began with a morning kiss between a pair of lovers.
The two of them only went to breakfast after snuggling together and flirting for a while.
Xu Xiaolan was cooking as usual.
This had now developed into her favorite hobby.
Thinking back, it was actually An Lin who had led her onto this path.
All of this began when An Lin dragged her to the Heavenly Court as part of his money-making scheme, and now, An Lin had long since detached himself from all this, but Xu Xiaolan had become obsessed with cooking. Even though they weren’t short on money, and she didn’t have to cook for the immortals of the Heavenly Court anymore, she still couldn’t help but cook up new dishes every day for her loved ones to sample.
As this continued, her cooking skills became more and more refined, and her repertoire became more and more diversified.
Now, cooking was an important part of her life.
An Lin was very pleased with the decisions he had made in the past.
He had somehow stumbled upon an exquisitely beautiful wife who loved cooking and was very good at it. Wasn’t that the best thing ever?
An Lin happily enjoyed the breakfast Xiaolan had cooked and welcomed a glorious new day.
After breakfast, the two of them patrolled the city walls to see if there were any weak points in the spell formation. After that, they continued to enjoy themselves in Yue Tong City.
After a few sweet and joyful days, the Heavenly Sea God suddenly contacted An Lin again.
“An Lin, I’ve just received a piece of important news!” The Heavenly Sea God was quite excited.
An Lin’s eyes lit up. “Oh? What is it?”
News that was considered to be important to a paramount Heavenly God could quite possibly be news that could decide the course of this entire war!
