I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

On the central front of the Tai Chu Continent.

Within the main city of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army, Yue Tong City.

​ 

The bright moon rippled like water within a sea of stars.

Under the beautiful night sky, within an intricate courtyard.

An Lin looked at the newspaper headlines that he was dominating and was intoxicated by the portraits of himself accompanying the articles.

“So handsome…”

He sighed with emotion.

Little Xiaolan sipped on some hot tea beside him.

“Alright, you’ve said that almost twenty times already! I know you’re handsome, ok?” Little Xiaolan was rolling her eyes so hard that she could almost see her brain.

“Little Xiaolan, do you like me?” An Lin suddenly asked.

“Huh?” Little Xiaolan’s hand trembled slightly, and ripples ran across the surface of her tea as a faint blush appeared on her face. “I do… you know that already!”

“Me too.” An Lin smiled.

Little Xiaolan was a little shy. “I know you like me…”

“I’m saying, I also like myself,” An Lin corrected.

Little Xiaolan: “???”

An Lin looked at the handsome man in the newspaper and sighed once again. “So handsome…”

Little Xiaolan: “Hehe.”

The battle on the central front had subsided for now.

The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army seemed to be quite fearful of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan as they were no longer initiating any large scale attacks.

Thus, an impasse ensued.

The higher-ups within the central front united army unanimously voted An Lin as their supreme leader.

An Lin wanted to refuse this role, but the Battling Buddha, Yun Mengying, Michael, and Demon Lord Declan insisted that there was no one more suitable than him for the role and that they refused to accept anyone else.

Thus, An Lin was peer pressured into accepting the role and became the supreme leader of the central front united army. After that, he continued to lie in his lounge chair and admire himself while reading the newspapers.

The Battling Buddha, Demon Lord Declan, and he were all powerful beings who enjoyed straightforward battles and were not very good with strategy and tactics. Thus, that aspect was left to Yun Mengying and Michael.

Even though An Lin had assumed the role of the supreme leader, he still lived a carefree and leisurely life, just as he had back when he was not burdened with this role.

“An Lin, what did it feel like to battle the Heavenly Earth God? Would you be able to beat him in a battle to the death?” Xu Xiaolan sipped her hot immortal tea as she turned to An Lin with a pair of curious eyes.

“Hmm… While battling him, I always felt like I was really insignificant…” An Lin replied, “This is a result of the nature of his being.”

“He is earth, and to normal living beings, earth represents something that is mighty and grand to the extreme. The Tai Chu Continent is boundless, and there are infinite planets in the Realm of Stars, but the core of all of this is earth!

“Any living beings would be struck by a sense of insignificance when facing a being that represented all things and all matter…”

An Lin started off by praising the Heavenly Earth God before his words took a turn.

“However, even the Heavenly Earth God has his limits. The Heavenly Earth God is restricted by the subconscious will of the Heavenly Dao and is only actually able to use a very small amount of his power, which gives me a chance. After combining my five elemental power and my heaven crushing power, I can break through his defenses… Furthermore, I have many trump cards up my sleeve, so in a battle to the death, I have at least a ten percent chance of winning!”

Little Xiaolan’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

“After all that, your conclusion is that you only have a ten percent chance at victory?”

“Don’t underestimate a paramount Heavenly God; they’re extremely terrifying! I was trying to bite a chunk of flesh off the Heavenly Earth God’s body during that battle, but I was unable to do so.”

“Why would you want to do that?”

“Er… I just want to see what the flesh of a paramount Heavenly God tastes like.”

“Hehe… You’ll grow more powerful if you bite off a chunk of their flesh, right?”

“… Little Xiaolan, how am I supposed to communicate with you when you’re so smart?”

“Next time, I’ll slice off the flesh for you to eat!” Little Xiaolan patted her little chest with a domineering expression.

An Lin was enchanted by the Little Xiaolan. The moonlight shone down upon her tender and flawless features, making her appear particularly gorgeous.

“Xiaolan, can I have a kiss?” An Lin smiled.

“But… I’m only nine…” Little Xiaolan was a little reluctant.

“Then a kiss on the cheek will suffice.” An Lin chuckled.

Little Xiaolan pouted before leaning over and planting a kiss on An Lin’s cheek with her soft, delicate lips.

An Lin also returned the favor by planting a kiss on her tender cheek. Little Xiaolan immediately blushed with embarrassment while An Lin was entranced by her beauty.

Not only had nine-year-old Xiaolan become smaller in stature, it seemed like she was also more easily embarrassed.

In the past, she could take the initiative and kiss him without even breaking a sweat.

Just as he was thinking this, a pair of warm and tender little hands suddenly gripped onto his hand. An Lin raised his head to find Little Xiaolan looking at him with an earnest expression.

“An Lin, I’m going to grow up quickly, then marry you.”

Little Xiaolan’s angelic voice resounded by An Lin’s ears, and his heart skipped a beat.

Little Xiaolan had confessed to him…

What a special feeling!

Why did he feel like he had been set up with a child bride¹?

“Xiaolan, when are you going to grow up?” An Lin was getting a little excited.

“Hmm… I’m not sure. I’ll probably only be fully grown up after the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence is completely repaired and merges with my body…” Little Xiaolan supported her chin with her hands as a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

Little Xiaolan was super adorable even when she was in deep thought!

An Lin couldn’t help but pinch Little Xiaolan’s tender cheek.

Little Xiaolan slapped away An Lin’s hand with a slightly disgruntled expression. “Go pinch Little Xie’s cheek!”

“She would tell me to piss off,” An Lin replied.

Little Xiaolan: “Piss off!”

An Lin: “…”

It was a picturesque night.

The two of them chatted for a long time before retiring to their resting quarters.

The light of a new dawn spilled down from the sky.

An Lin was just meditating when the door to his room was gently pushed open.

A familiar, fragrant scent then wafted toward his nostrils.

Immediately afterward, a pair of soft lips landed on his forehead.

“Here’s a good morning kiss for you.”

A sweet, beautiful voice sounded.

An Lin opened his eyes, upon which a blank expression appeared on his face.

A gorgeous teenage girl was looking at him with rippling eyes and a faint smile.

She wore a snowy-white dress that accentuated her tall and slender body, and her black hair fell all the way to her waist. Her skin glittered with a beautiful sheen under the light of the sun, and her smile was filled with energy and exuberance.

She was quite pleased to see An Lin’s shocked expression, and she gave him a cheeky smile. “It’s fifteen-year-old Xiaolan bidding you good morning today!”

Her voice was as beautiful as the most glorious immortal music.

Thump!

An Lin’s heart thumped heavily.

Crap, this was the feeling of infatuation!
