Within the Four Nine Immortal Sect conference chamber.

An Lin, Tina, the Jade Bone Immortal Bug, Xiao Ze, Xiao Chou, Liu Qianhuan, Bryce, Bai Ling, and the White-Scaled Wolf God had all gathered in place.

An Lin recounted his trip to the West Sea to everyone, with a strong focus on the Starfire Battleship.

Everyone witnessed the Starfire Battleship through the footage Bai Ling released, and all of them let loose cries of surprise.

The battleship that stretched as far as the eye could see was an extremely thrilling and spectacular sight.

“With this Starfire Battleship, it is the equivalent of our sect gaining a new Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure,” An Lin said in an indifferent voice as he interlaced his fingers.

Another collective cry of surprise erupted before everyone whooped for joy.

“My God! Long live, Master! Doesn’t that mean our sect is going to be more bad*ss than the Nine Imperials now?” The White-Scaled Wolf God wore a scorching expression on his face.

“You sure can pile on the surprises, An Lin! You made a trip to a tomb and brought back an invincible battleship?” Liu Qianhuan stared at the footage of the battleship with bright eyes.

She really wanted to pilot this battleship!

“The battleship seems to be a little damaged?” Xiao Ze asked with furrowed brows as he looked at the footage.

A smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “This is why I have gathered everyone together. This battleship has been severely damaged and will require a hundred million spirit stones to repair!”

“Gasp…”

This astronomical repair cost was like a bucket of cold water being thrown over everyone’s head.

However, everyone quickly calmed down and began to think.

Money! This was the main problem they needed to take care of.

“A hundred million… Our sect only has fifty million spirit stones worth of liquid assets. Even if we use all of it, we’re still fifty million short…” Xiao Ze mused with furrowed brows.

Tina suggested, “If we excessively mine the spirit stone mine in the Flying Ball Tribe territory, we can fill this gap.”

An Lin immediately shook his head to refute this course of action. “If we excessively mine the spirit stone mine, it’s going to collapse.

“That mine is of vital importance to our sect, so we can’t do that unless we encounter some dire situation.”

To An Lin’s statement, Liu Qianhuan nodded in agreement.

She thought to herself for a moment before her purple eyes suddenly lit up. “I have an idea!”

Everyone turned toward Liu Qianhuan.

Liu Qianhuan turned to Xiao Chou, and a smile appeared on her face. “Xiao Chou, your wedding with Bai Yao in the Fox Tribe territory was spoiled by the Black Fox Tribe and the Spirit Fish Clan. That was such a pity.

“How about… we hold a wedding at the Four Nine Immortal Sect to make up for that ruined one? It will also be an opportunity for all of the large sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States to offer the blessings that they didn’t have time to offer last time…”

Everyone within the conference chamber drew a collective sharp intake of breath.

An Lin’s hands clapped together as his eyes lit up. “That’s genius! I forgot about that!”

“The world needs a chance to celebrate this glorious event.” Bryce’s leafy head rustled.

“I support this marriage!” Xiao Ze was extremely excited.

“I also approve of this marriage.”

“I raise both hands in approval…”

“+1…”

Bai Ling’s face convulsed. Sure enough, this sect could not think of any normal money-making schemes. She didn’t even know what she was getting her hopes up for!

All of them turned toward Xiao Chou for the final decision.

Xiao Chou slapped a palm onto the table. “Let’s do it!”

A burst of cheers erupted within the conference chamber.

Everyone knew that this sect was going to welcome a new, massive boost in liquid assets in the near future.

Thus, the course of action had been decided on!

Bai Ling paused for a moment before speaking, “We’re missing fifty million spirit stones at the moment. Is a wedding going to be enough to fill that gap? Thinking back, our sect grand opening only netted us over thirty million spirit stones.”

“That’s not the same, Big Sister Bai,” An Lin replied with a smile. “Our sect has much more influence than it used to. Just my title as the Lord of Transcendence and the stories of us crushing the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas have elevated the position of the Four Nine Immortal Sect to a higher level in everyone’s heart.

“Furthermore, those living beings from the West Sea will also want to establish good relations with us. Hence, this wedding should definitely earn us more money than the sect grand opening did!”

An Lin’s words instantly made everyone a lot more optimistic.

“If we’re really still missing some money, we can go borrow some from the Dragon Court,” An Lin added with a sly grin.

Bai Ling: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Everyone observed a moment of silence for the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas.

Thus, it was decided.

Xiao Chou’s wedding was going to be held at the Four Nine Immortal Sect in twenty-five days.

News of this was broadcasted to the entire Kingdom of the Nine States.

An Lin had also made a voice transmission to Lin Junjun and asked her to spread this news across the Heavenly Court and the entire Tai Chu Continent.

After ditching school for two months, An Lin finally returned to the university.

Within a dorm room, the light of a candle wavered.

“An Lin, tell me the truth! What did you do in the West Sea?”

Xu Xiaolan had her arms on her slender hips as she glowered at An Lin.

She had heard some rumors that An Lin had gotten quite close with some mermaid princess?

“Xiaolan, let me explain!” An Lin hurriedly replied.

He began to recount his journey to the West Sea, and he did his best to tell the truth.

The night was long, as was the story.

Xu Xiaolan listened to his story with rapt attention glowing in her bright eyes. The faint candlelight shone upon her snowy-white skin, which emitted a jade-like luster.

She would occasionally ask some questions, to which An Lin provided honest answers.

When the story was over, Xu Xiaolan fell into deep thought.

“There seems to be nothing wrong with the story, but I still don’t understand why Lan Xiaoni would risk her life to save you…” Xu Xiaolan pouted slightly.

“She’s just a really naive and pure girl. She could sacrifice herself for Chen Nan, who she barely knew, so of course she was willing to risk her life to save a good person like me.”

Xiaolan’s anger had subsided, and An Lin felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

The poor Chen Nan saved An Lin’s skin once again.

A smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. “That makes sense.”

She laid a finger on her storage ring, and a light flashed past as a pile of vital stones appeared on the ground like a small mountain.

“Here you go. These are all of the vital stones I made during the last month. There are a total of six hundred and ten.”

An Lin’s eyes began to glow. “Xiaolan is the best! I love you!”

His net worth had reached eighty-six million!

He put away the vital stones, but the smile on his face refused to subside.

Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes at the sight of An Lin, the money-grubber. “You love spirit stones! Don’t try to make this about me!”

An Lin immediately came to his senses and grabbed Xu Xiaolan’s smooth, slender hand with a serious expression on his face. “Xu Xiaolan, I’ve prepared a surprise for you as well!”
