Chapter 1357 - Inferior to an Animal
Chapter 1357: Inferior to an Animal
An Lin was momentarily dazed. This happiness had come far too suddenly.
Due to some reasons, Yang Lingqian’s pale skin had flushed a slight shade of red. Moreover, it had become hot to the touch.
Her body lay on top of An Lin, and her arms were wrapped around his waist. Her seductive eyes were especially captivating.
Yang Lingqian was a stunning beauty, and her figure was also extremely fine. Her waist was slender, and her legs were long. Now that she was in heat, her long and slender legs stretched out from below her red dress. It was as if she wanted to wrap them around An Lin. A sweet fragrance wafted from her body, and ordinary cultivators would definitely be unable to contain themselves.
But who was An Lin?
How could ordinary cultivators compare to him?!
An Lin immediately swatted Yang Lingqian aside.
“Demoness! Don’t you dare try to take advantage of me!” he roared.
To his surprise, Yang Lingqian crawled up again after being swatted aside.
“Exalted Immortal An Lin, I…” Her face flushed red in shame as she wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth. There was still a hint of lust in her eyes as she gazed at An Lin. She ran her hands over her delicate collarbone and licked her dainty red lips. She was just about to pounce toward An Lin again.
An Lin couldn’t help but grimace. “Holy f*ck! The medicine is this potent?”
Yang Lingqian pounced over. An Lin immediately channeled his Evergreen Technique and tapped his finger toward Yang Lingqian’s soft and scorching abdomen. A peculiar power instantly washed over her entire body.
Yang Lingqian’s body froze to the spot. The effects of the medicine quickly receded and vanished, and her eyes finally became bright and focused again.
An Lin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. You want to use an aphrodisiac to steal this Sword Immortal’s virginity? No way! I’m not that type of vulgar person!
Moreover, only the female had been affected by the aphrodisiac this time. He, the male, was completely unaffected…
If he took advantage of her, then how would he be any different from a vulgar animal?
Thus, An Lin became a lad who was “inferior to an animal[1]”.
“This… Exalted Immortal An Lin, j-just then, I…” Tears were about to fall from Yang Lingqian’s bright eyes as she straightened her disheveled clothes.
“I’m so sorry, Exalted Immortal! I didn’t do it on purpose!” There was a look of shame on her face as she kneeled down on the floor. She dearly wished that she could hide in a hole.
“Please get up, I know that you didn’t do it on purpose.” An Lin hurriedly helped Yang Lingqian up. “This is all the fault of that horny b*stard.”
She looked at An Lin in gratitude. “Thank you, Exalted Immortal An Lin. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that I…”
She had considered suicide. However, she had even been deprived of her ability to kill herself at that time. If it weren’t for An Lin’s help, she would definitely have been taken advantage of by the Immortal King’s envoy.
Thinking back to An Lin’s self-control just then, Yang Lingqian became even more reverent of the male standing before her. At the same time, she developed a very favorable impression of An Lin.
“Don’t worry, it’s all in the past now,” An Lin gently consoled her before picking up a storage ring from the floor.
“Exalted Immortal An Lin, you killed the Immortal King’s envoy. It’s best if you make haste and flee now,” Yang Lingqian said hurriedly. “As long as you don’t leave any traces nearby, the Immortal King will most likely be unable to find you.”
“Flee? Why do I need to flee?” An Lin chuckled.
“Y-You’re not going to flee? Then what are you going to do?” Yang Lingqian’s pretty eyes widened in surprise.
An Lin refined the storage ring and glanced over the mountains of treasures within it. “Your Yong Yang City still hasn’t offered its treasures up to the Immortal King Palace yet, right? I’ll see my good deed through to the end. I’ll help the Immortal King’s envoy to complete his mission.”
Yang Lingqian was genuinely given a fright this time. “T-There’s no need for you to take such a huge risk. If we flee now, they won’t be able to pin the death of the Immortal King’s envoy onto us. My father can deal with the offerings…”
“No, I want to take this huge risk!” An Lin said resolutely.
Yang Lingqian: “…”
“Oh, that’s right.” An Lin chuckled. “You can return now. You’re free to go.”
Yang Lingqian hesitated for a moment upon hearing this. Then, a determined look appeared across her face. “No, I’ll stay. Exalted Immortal An Lin, you’ve only just come out of seclusion, and there are many things that you’re still unfamiliar with. I can stay by your side and help you!”
An Lin looked at the red-dressed female in the eyes. “You said so yourself, that this trip is going to be extremely risky. Yet you’re still willing to accompany me?”
The female pursed her lips. “My life was saved by you. So what if I die on this trip? Please allow Qian’er to stay by your side and help you!”
“I’ll tell you another secret,” An Lin said upon seeing the female’s resolute expression. “It’s very likely that I’ll clash with the Immortal King on this trip.”
Yang Lingqian: “…”
The colors drained from her face, and her body also started to shiver. An Lin couldn’t help but chuckle. “Do you still want to accompany me now?”
After a short pause, Yang Lingqian took a deep breath and replied, “I’ve already said. You saved my life, so I’ll definitely repay you. If worse comes to the worst, I’ll just die. Even if you’re heading over to slay the Immortal King, I’ll still follow you!”
An Lin looked at the female in the eye again.
Although Yang Lingqian wasn’t very powerful, her character was extremely tough and tenacious. From her initial rejection of the Immortal King’s envoy to her willingness to sacrifice herself for the people of Yong Yang City and now to her decision to stay by An Lin’s side to repay him for saving her life…
The choices made by this female all required great amounts of courage. However, she didn’t shirk in the face of danger.
What An Lin didn’t know was, Yang Lingqian’s thought process was actually like this—Heh, kill the Immortal King? You’re definitely trying to frighten me! Exalted Immortal An Lin is probably heading to the Immortal King Palace to perform some duties. Moreover, the risk is probably low. After all, which exalted immortal doesn’t value their life highly? He’s definitely saying these things to test my loyalty. I’m definitely going to perform well!
“Fine, I’ll let you stay.” An Lin sighed. “I’m missing a guide anyway.” He eventually agreed to let Yang Lingqian follow him.
“Rest assured, Exalted Immortal An Lin. I’ll definitely tell you everything that I know!” Yang Lingqian was in high spirits as she clenched her small fists.
An Lin sat down on a chair and looked out the window at the griffon. “This beast doesn’t even realize that its owner is dead. It’s still continuing to fly?”
“Griffons are the shared mounts of the Immortal King Palace. Its owner isn’t the Immortal King’s envoy. If it doesn’t receive any commands, it’ll continue to follow the set flight path.” Yang Lingqian smiled and continued, “We’ll reach the Immortal King Palace in around ten days.”
An Lin nodded. Ten days wasn’t a long time. He started to look through the storage ring.
“Heh, this is just one city’s offering, yet there are already so many treasures?”
An Lin was astonished as he sorted through the storage ring.
In addition to one hundred thousand spirit stones, there were also all kinds of strange and exotic treasures that he didn’t recognize. In fact, he couldn’t recognize a large majority of the treasures. Different environments would foster different treasures, this saying was indeed correct.
“Yong Yang City is a large city. Thus, we offer relatively more treasures compared to other smaller cities,” Yang Lingqian explained. “Some small cities are extremely poor and have nothing much to offer. When that’s the case, the Immortal King will send an army over to exterminate the city off the face of this world.”
An Lin’s expression changed upon hearing this. “Isn’t that a bit too cruel?”
“He said that weaklings have no right to exist in this world,” Yang Lingqian answered. “Due to Feng Wuya’s tyrannical rule and his desire to accumulate wealth, many city lords choose to oppress and exploit their residents when their revenue starts to struggle. As a result, many people in this world live in destitution.”
An Lin fell silent for a short while. “This Immortal King is a tyrant. Yet such a being is still able to rule over the entire continent…”
A look of resignation appeared on Yang Lingqian’s face. “What can we do? It’s already been nine thousand years since he conquered the entire continent. There’ve been tens of thousands of uprisings and revolts, yet not a single one has succeeded.”
An Lin was left speechless by this. This number of revolts is a bit many, is it not?
[1] Inferior as in he failed to something that ‘vulgar animals’ would do.
