An Lin and Xu Xiaolan came to a courtyard within which many wisteria trees were planted. Gazing over from afar, these wisteria trees made the whole courtyard appear as if it was a vast expanse of purple clouds.
This was Xu Xiaolan’s residence at the Vermilion Bird Sect, and it could be considered to be a mansion.
The four seasons immediately fell in love with this place after seeing the intricate decor, the beautiful flora, and the clear, mirror-like pond. The four of them gathered together and chatted excitedly among themselves.
An Lin’s eyes were squinted in relaxation as he sat lazily on a recliner and basked under the gentle light of the sun.
At this moment, he saw Da Bai bringing out a pile of golden, rice ball-like objects and stuffing them into his mouth.
“Da Bai, what are you eating?” An Lin asked.
“This is dog food, woof!” Da Bai replied as he ate.
An Lin: “…”
After seeing An Lin’s expression, Da Bai continued to explain, “Remember how I obtained the Purple Star Inheritance of Dog Food? I tried making some dog food according to the method stipulated in the inheritance, and I discovered that it actually makes some very tasty dog food! On top of that, whenever I see people being lovey-dovey and feel lonely as a result, I can eat some dog food. This will instantly lift my mood!”
“Da Bai… are you upset because of me?” An Lin asked with a sympathetic expression.
Da Bai turned his big, teary eyes toward An Lin. “Big Brother An, you finally understand how I feel! You’re always being so lovey-dovey with Xiaolan! I thought you had forgotten about me, waah… woof!”
“I understand how you feel, but you’ll just have to get used to these things…” An Lin stroked Da Bai’s head and consoled him with a sympathetic expression.
Da Bai faltered upon hearing this, and he continued to stuff dog food into his mouth angrily.
An Lin looked at the pile of golden, rice-ball like dog food and asked curiously, “Is this dog food really that delicious? Let me try one.”
“I only have dog food left… Are you really going to take this away from me too? People with girlfriends don’t deserve to have dog food 1 , woof!” Da Bai barked with grief and indignation.
An Lin replied with a smile, “Don’t you have Qing Hua? Why are you eating dog food?”
“Qing Hua isn’t my girlfriend! If you were asked to take a female dog as your girlfriend, would you agree?” Da Bai rolled his eyes with disdain.
“That’s true…” An Lin nodded in agreement.
Then, he suddenly came to a realization.
True my a*s! I’m not a dog!
The White-Scaled Wolf God also made his way over to them at this moment. His expression seemed a little tense and subdued.
His skin was once covered entirely by white scales. However, he hadn’t engaged in battles for a long time, so his white fur was starting to grow all over his body like a white, full-body afro. This made him appear like a massive fatso.
The White-Scaled Wolf God half-knelt on the ground with a respectful expression. “Master, is there anything you want me to do? Like guarding our existing territory or expanding and conquering neighboring lands? I’ll do whatever you tell me to!”
An Lin was taken aback by his words.
Guard existing territory? Do I have any existing territory?
And what the hell is this about expanding territory? I don’t have an army, so how the hell am I supposed to expand my “territory”?!
“Ahem… Little Lang, we’re currently trying to keep a low profile, so don’t be too eager to engage in battles,” An Lin said with a calm expression. “Right now, your top priority is to improve your cultivation base!”
The White-Scaled Wolf God’s eyes shone with a scorching intensity. “Members of the Ancient Man Tribe like me can only improve their cultivation bases through constantly battling and drinking the blood of our enemies!”
An Lin: “…”
What’s up with this wolf? He’s a complete mismatch with the usual style of my beast pet team!
To be honest, An Lin was starting to consider releasing this wolf back into the wild.
“Big Brother An, I actually have a problem that I’ve been meaning to ask you. Where does Little Lang rank in the hierarchy? Fourth? Fifth? Sixth? Woof?” Da Bai licked the dog food in his paws as he asked this question.
The White-Scaled Wolf God turned to him with a confused expression. “Aren’t there only three beast pets aside from myself?”
“Not quite… We accidentally ate number four, and number five was blasted to death by Big Brother An. Woof!” Da Bai replied with a grief-stricken expression.
The White-Scaled Wolf God almost sh*t itself after hearing this. He looked up at An Lin with shock and horror.
Eaten? Blasted to death?!
What the hell happened to my predecessors?!
Only now did the White-Scaled Wolf God figure out just how terrifying his owner truly was!
With this in mind, he immediately became even more obedient. He widened his big eyes and wagged his tongue in an attempt to curry favor.
“Master, you can rank me anywhere! Little Lang doesn’t mind in the slightest!”
An Lin heaved a light, forlorn sigh. “The position of number four will always be reserved for Little Lan, so he can forever remain in our memories. As for that dragon, well… that was just an accident. Beast pet contracts and slave contracts are different, so you’ll rank as number one among the slaves from now on, Little Lang.”
“Master is the best!” the White-Scaled Wolf God proclaimed excitedly. “Your analysis is so precise and evidence-based… Little Lang agrees wholeheartedly! Little Lang will be sure to remain loyal and battle with all his might under Master’s command. I’ll definitely spread Master’s glorious name far and wide!”
An Lin: “…”
“Ok then, you may take your leave now,” An Lin said as he waved his hand at him.
“Alright, Master. If you need Little Lang to do anything, feel free to tell me! Little Lang’s favorite hobby is to provide assistance and be of help to Master!” The White-Scaled Wolf God bowed with a respectful expression before slowly backing away.
As Da Bai watched the White-Scaled Wolf God leave, he remarked, “I feel like Little Lang was spooked by something. Woof!”
An Lin rolled his eyes. “It’s all because of what you said. Little Lang is probably petrified with fear.”
“But I only spoke the truth, woof!” Da Bai replied with a justified expression.
An Lin couldn’t be bothered replying, and he lay back down on the recliner like a rich, leisurely man basking under the sunlight.
…
The sun slowly set beneath the horizon, and countless stars began to appear in the sky.
There was a sudden burst of violent rustling in the canopy of the Vermilion Bird Sect’s divine tree.
A white, Vermilion Bird-shaped flame flew into the sky, and as if it was expressing its joy at returning home, it let loose a joyful cry.
At this moment, all of the Vermilion Bird Sect’s disciples felt as if they received a blessing of fire.
This blessing was gentle like water and warm like the sun on a bright, spring day. The power of the blessing circulated through their bodies and bestowed upon them a sense of warmth and safety.
The entire sect was in exuberance. Countless disciples gazed up at the Holy Vermilion Flame with tears flowing from their eyes, and many of them were hugging each other as they cheered at the top of their lungs.
Some disciples started to unleash flame element spell techniques into the air.
Flaming meteors, flaming dragons, flaming phoenixes, rings of fire…
A series of colorful and dazzling flame element spell techniques flew into the air before exploding in a spectacular display.
An Lin couldn’t help but stand up as he gazed at the display of vibrant flame element spell techniques.
“What beautiful fireworks.”
A female in an azure-colored dress made her way toward An Lin with a smile on her face.
Xu Xiaolan appeared breathtakingly beautiful under the glow of the fireworks blossoming in the night sky.
“Yeah… the fireworks really are beautiful tonight…”
An Lin inched his face closer to Xu Xiaolan’s before pressing his lips to her soft, supple lips.
A sweet sense of happiness permeated through the air.
Da Bai glared at the kissing couple and silently stuffed a few more golden rice balls into his mouth.
