Chapter 240: Riding A Dog Together

Within the Wen Valley Immortal Sect’s defensive barricades, Liu Susu stared out at the Realm of White Sand with a vacant expression.

There was a white bandage around her waist, part of which had been stained red by a wound on her body, making it appear like a flourishing red flower. This was an injury she had received while counterattacking against the Ant Tribe in the Realm of White Sand.

Now that the Black Mist Bridges had all collapsed, there was a piece of information from the Heavenly Court telling them that the battle was over.

It was probably time for her and her father to leave.

The Red Leaf City was a dead city, so they probably wouldn’t return there in the immediate future. So where would they go?

After vanquishing the Ant Tribe’s army, she and her father had avenged their family and completed their objective, but they didn’t know what to do next.

She held a longsword in her hand as a hint of worry and confusion surfaced on her face.

After a long while, a figure flew down from the sky.

Liu Susu raised her head, and her whole body trembled lightly as the negative emotions instantly dissipated from her face like cloud and mist. “Senior An Lin!”

“Hey there, Liu Susu.” An Lin still wore an easy-going expression on his face.

Liu Susu saw that there was an extremely beautiful woman accompanying him.

She had a regal and graceful air about her, drawing admiration from onlookers.

“Haha, An Lin, you’re a senior now, eh?” The woman poked An Lin in the back while wearing an approachable, affectionate smile.

“Ahem… please just go with it…” An Lin spoke under his breath before introducing both sides to one another, “This is my friend, Xu Xiaolan, and this is Liu Susu, who I met when I was in the Red Leaf City.”

“Greetings, Senior Xu Xiaolan.” Liu Susu greeted her respectfully.

Xu Xiaolan was not expecting that she too would be referred to as senior and was slightly taken aback before nodding in reply. “Hi there, Liu Susu.”

An Lin had already discovered the wound on Liu Susu’s waist by this point and immediately handed a Blood Spirit Pill to her.

“Here, eat this.”

“I’m OK, Senior An Lin, my wounds have already been tended to. They should heal in a few days…”

“Just do as you’re told and eat this!”

“Alright…”

Liu Susu held the pill in her hand and looked at An Lin’s solemn expression before biting down on her lower lip and swallowing the pill as instructed.

“Where’s your father?”

“He’s in the tool refinement chamber. He told me he wanted to refine a suit of armor.”

“Oh, I see…” An Lin nodded and smiled. “The battle’s over now, what do you plan on doing next?”

Liu Susu shook her head in dejection. “I don’t know.”

“Both your home and Immortal Sect are gone now, how about you join the Wen Valley Immortal Sect?” An Lin suggested while stroking his chin.

Liu Susu’s opened her eyes wide. “Huh? But with my father’s and my lack of aptitude…”

“No problem, we can go through the back door!” An Lin cut her off abruptly.

Liu Susu: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Thus, they met up with the elder of the Wen Valley Immortal Sect, Ji Yanling.

Since their encounter a year ago, Ji Yanling had matured significantly. Although her figure appeared a little slim and frail, the clarity and determination in her eyes gave one a sense of security and reliability.

A genuinely joyful expression appeared on her face at the sight of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.

They were all comrades who had fought side by side in the Abyss of Evil, so they felt especially close to one another and chatted about recent events.

An Lin made a proposal for Liu Hu and Liu Susu to join the Wen Valley Immortal Sect, to which Ji Yanling agreed without a second thought, opening the back door as smoothly as possible. At this sudden turn of fortune, Liu Susu was startled to the point of tears and immediately knelt down in gratitude. She didn’t know who she should express her gratitude to, so she thanked everyone one by one.

Even to this day, Ji Yanling still wore that crystal that had completely dimmed. She chose to commit some things deeply into her memory, but this was not an unhealthy obsession. From their conversation, An Lin was aware that she had already gotten over her grief, and this was exactly what Wang Lu wanted to see as well.

After their reunion, An Lin and the others got ready to depart.

“Cultivate hard and improve every day.” An Lin waved in farewell.

“Right! Senior An Lin, I’ll do my best. May we meet again someday!” Liu Susu nodded in earnest.

After flying into the air, Xu Xiaolan couldn’t help but begin her interrogation. “Be honest, why are you treating Liu Susu with so much kindness?”

“Because Big Brother An wants to keep her for his harem,” Da Bai answered in his stead.

Thump!

Da Bai immediately received a blow to the head from An Lin.

An Lin only replied after pondering the question for a while, “Hmm… it’s probably because… she’s the first person in the world to call me ‘senior’…”

Liu Susu stared up at An Lin’s departing figure from the ground, and she continued to do so long after he had completely disappeared from view.

…

…

The end-of-year trial had already concluded, and An Lin had ten days to recuperate before he had to report back to the Heavenly Court, following which he would have a holiday of a month, so he had a lot of free time coming up.

The prefectural city of the Heavenly River State presented a luxurious and bustling scene.

With Xu Xiaolan, they rode on Da Bai as they traveled the streets aimlessly.

Shopping while dog-riding had become habitual for An Lin, but Xu Xiaolan did not have a beast pet to ride and was walking alongside him on foot, making him feel a little apologetic…

“Xiaolan, how about you get on as well,” An Lin patted Da Bai’s back and proposed.

“Huh? Can I really?” Xu Xiaolan’s bright eyes shone with anticipation.

An Lin laughed heartily. “Of course”

Da Bai also waved his tail as a sign of approval.

Xu Xiaolan leaped onto Da Bai’s back and touched his soft and warm fur. “Da Bai, I’ve always wanted to ride you!”

A wicked smile appeared on Da Bai’s face. “Celestial Maiden Xiaolan, I’ve always wanted to be ridden by you, woof!”

An Lin: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “… Da Bai seems like a perverted dog, I think I’ll walk after all.”

“No, Da Bai’s very pure and innocent, I assure you!” An Lin immediately vouched for Da Bai.

“I only love Qing Hua, woof!” Da Bai added.

Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. She was obviously not going to believe An Lin and Da Bai’s blatant lies, but she did not want to disembark either.

The two of them rode on Da Bai and slowly meandered through the market streets.

Xu Xiaolan initially gripped onto Da Bai’s fur with her hands, but she felt like that was somewhat inappropriate and gripped onto the hem of An Lin’s shirt instead.

An Lin was pleased with this development. “I’ve read some romantic martial arts novels in the past and always looked up to those heroes that could ride together with their lovers on horseback, dreaming that I would one day be able to do the same thing.”

“Now, my dreams have come true… although it’s riding on a dog’s back, so the standards have dropped a little. But the lover has been replaced by a Celestial Maiden, so the standards have shot right back up again!”

Da Bai immediately protested his statement in rage. “Woof! You’ve gone too far, how could you insult your brother just to pursue a girl?”

Xu Xiaolan did not reply and only smiled lightly as she faced upward slightly. With her radiant, porcelain-like features and eyes that were narrowed to slivers, it looked as if she was basking in relaxation under the warm light of the sun.

Her hands, which were gripping An Lin’s shirt, suddenly held on even tighter at some unknown point.

A handsome man and an exquisite beauty rode on a huge dog, which was simultaneously adorable and imposing at the same time, created a unique spectacle on the bustling market streets.

To Xu Xiaolan and An Lin who were riding on the dog’s back, this beautiful and luxurious prefectural city, as well as the beautiful scenery around them worthy of commemoration, were memories that would not fade even with the passing of time.
