Da Bai shuddered upon hearing the words “marry Qing Hua”.

He turned to discover a black four-winged bird following him with a smile on its face.

“Phew… Big Sister Mao Chen, you had me scared for a second there! Woof!”

Da Bai heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this Mao Chen.

An Lin was a little confused. “Why are you not anxious now after seeing Mao Chen?”

A meaningful smile appeared on Da Bai’s face. “That’s because Big Sister Mao Chen is also a celibatarian! Woof!”

Mao Chen extended her proud neck and raised her four huge wings. “The single life is the life for me! I belong only to the sky and no one else!”

An Lin faltered slightly, having been taken aback by the four-winged bird’s vigor and adamancy.

Da Bai turned to An Lin with an elated smile. “Big Sister Mao Chen is my role model. She’s free from all inhibitions and living the life I yearn for! She is the most beautiful when she abides by her beliefs! Woof!”

An Lin nodded. She was truly a royalty among all single living beings. She was confident and proud, looking down on all other living beings and living her own life to its fullest extent.

However, right at this moment, Mao Chen finally caught a glimpse of An Lin’s face, and her whole body shuddered. “Huh? Are you… Sect Leader An Lin?”

“That’s right, I am indeed An Lin. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Mao Chen.” An Lin extended a friendly greeting.

“Ah!!!” Mao Chen screamed excitedly as all of her feathers became ruffled at once. “It’s you, An Lin! You’re my idol, my beloved! Do you know how many pursuers I turned down for you? I belong to you!”

An Lin and Da Bai were completely astonished as their mouths gaped open.

“Didn’t you say that you belong to the sky?” An Lin was a little scared.

Mao Chen spread her wings as if she was going to hug An Lin. “To me, you are the sky, you are the moon, you are the sun, you are my everything!”

An Lin: “…”

Da Bai: “…”

An Lin clasped a hand over his chest as ten thousand mythological beasts stampeded over his heart.

What the f*ck was going on?!

Tears of disbelief and agony welled up in Da Bai’s eyes. “No! Big Sister Mao Chen, why are you doing this? Didn’t you say you were going to be celibate for life? Why do you have someone you love now? Woof!”

Da Bai felt as if his one comrade in celibacy had betrayed him, and he was unable to accept this harsh reality!

An Lin immediately turned her down with a firm expression. “I’m not into birds.”

However, Mao Chen immediately transformed upon hearing this.

Thus, a beautiful woman wearing black feather garments with four wings on her back appeared before An Lin.

“Mr. An Lin, does this form suit your tastes?” the woman asked with a seductive voice as her eyes rippled with the power to suck away the onlooker’s soul.

Beneath her black, feather garment, her skin was as fair as snow, and her exquisite figure set the onlooker’s blood alight.

An Lin and Da Bai each drew a sharp intake of breath at the same time.

He didn’t like birds, so she transformed into a human? How terrifying!

“I still don’t understand why you would like me.” An Lin calmed his emotions before speaking with a perplexed expression.

Mao Chen explained with a seductive smile, “The Southern Heavenly Wing Nation Sun Tree War God, Lin An, is you, right?”

“Oh… Has my cover been blown?” An Lin was unable to deny this.

“You are the revered idol of all birds within the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, so you’re naturally my idol too. Furthermore, you’ve also slain a Dark Wing Tribe monarch. Our Black Crow Tribe has always come under threat from the Dark Wing Tribe. Your epic feats had me jumping for joy and excitement for a long time!

“Aside from that, you’re a man who dares to express and is true to his emotions. As the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, you instruct your sect to deliver justice on behalf of itinerant cultivators and cultivators from weak sects that have been wronged. You are like a breath of fresh air to the cultivating world…”

An Lin came to a sudden realization upon hearing this. All of these could actually be traced back to the Kong Zuixiang incident.

Mao Chen inched toward An Lin with a pair of glowing eyes. “You’re such a good man, how could I not love you?”

An Lin: “…”

Da Bai: “… Please stop, my heart can’t take anymore!”

An Lin was getting a little unsettled by Mao Chen’s enthusiasm and could only wave his hands in rejection. “I can’t change your feelings toward me, but I can’t accept them either. I already have a woman of my dreams.”

“I know that…” Mao Chen clasped a hand to her chest as a wry smile appeared on her face. “Hence, I’m going to transfer my love for you to the sky…

“I have some things I need to do, so I must take my leave now!”

The four-winged woman turned and flew away, leaving a few drops of translucent liquid in her wake.

An Lin could hear the indistinct sound of sobbing, which grew fainter as she flew further and further.

Da Bai looked on at Mao Chen’s departing figure with grief etched onto his face. “Big Brother An, why did you open my eyes to this harsh reality? Woof!”

A wry smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “You can’t blame me for that. She literally fell from the sky…”

Little Xie was also a little disappointed.

She was hoping that An Lin would succumb to Mao Chen’s seduction and cheat on Xu Xiaolan. In that case, she would have an excuse to kill him!

The three of them continued onward.

After a short while, they arrived at an intricate courtyard.

Da Bai carefully pushed the door open. “Mother, Father, I’m back, woof!”

A long and slender white dog with soft, beautiful features was just meditating, and she slowly opened her bright eyes as a smile appeared on her face. “Welcome back, Da Bai.”

An adorable yet imposing white dog was sunbathing outside, and he too opened his eyes, upon which they immediately lit up. “Oh, Da Bai, you’ve brought Mr. An Lin with you too!”

An Lin immediately extended a greeting while smiling. “An Lin pays his respects to Senior Bai Xian and Senior Chun.”

“There’s no need to be so polite, we’re all part of a family here,” Bai Xian said with a buoyant smile.

Even though he was one of the Three Immortal Beast Overlords of the Mythological Beast Sect, An Lin was the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. As such, An Lin was not inferior to him in terms of status.

“Please have a seat.” Chun also became more enthusiastic, and she pulled out some chairs and a table from her storage ring before brewing some tea and preparing a few spirit fruits. “Mr. An Lin, just treat this like your own home. We haven’t had a good chance to thank you yet.”

“Then don’t mind if I do.” An Lin accepted the invitation and sat down on a chair before chomping on an expensive spirit fruit.

Bai Xian appraised An Lin with approval and joy in his eyes.

An Lin had already achieved so much at such a young age, and Da Bai’s cultivation base had been progressing at an extremely fast rate under his wing… It looked like he had made a fantastic decision to allow Da Bai to follow An Lin at that time!

Chun was also growing more and more fond of An Lin. What a handsome and adorable young man!

Bai Xian and Chun both had their eyes trained firmly on An Lin, and Da Bai was feeling a little aggrieved and shunned as a result.

Right at this moment, Chun finally turned to look at Da Bai.

The first sentence that came out of her mouth was: “Da Bai, are you coming back to marry Qing Hua?”

Da Bai: “!!!”
