Chapter 1838: The Vinegar Jar Has Been Knocked Over
In no time, a female who was dressed in a colorful dragon robe flew over.
Behind her, there was a blue-clothed female who looked like an ethereal snow fairy.
“An Lin, why did you come here? Thank G.o.d the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess and the Heavenly Earth G.o.d didn’t discover you.” The Ancient Dragon Empress looked around anxiously.
“They’ve already left,” An Lin chuckled and said. “If they hadn’t left yet, I would’ve been able to detect them with my divine sense. Say, I was spectating in the distance when you guys were fighting.”
“Laugh, laugh, laugh! All you know to do is laugh!” The female beside the Ancient Dragon Empress glared at An Lin coldly. It seemed as if the frosty aura that was radiating from her body was going to freeze everything in the surroundings.
“Er…” An Lin blinked in confusion. It seemed like the female before him resented him immensely.
“She’s Xue Yan, the Second Heavenly Disciple’s attendant,” the Ancient Dragon Empress explained.
An Lin became even more confused. He had never come across this Xue Yan before. However, there was an alert and resentful look in her eyes as she glared at him.
“Do you know why that battle erupted? It was all because of you!” Xue Yan pointed a finger at An Lin’s face and continued, “And Chen Chen was also severely wounded because of you!”
Boom!
An Lin was shocked upon hearing this.
“Chen Chen was wounded? How is he now?” An Lin was extremely anxious, and he immediately started to walk toward the palace. “I’ll go and visit him now!”
Right at this moment, an icy-cold aura swept in front of him.
Immediately afterward, Xue Yan spread her arms and positioned herself before An Lin. There was a frosty expression on her delicate and beautiful face. “Stop!” she shouted coldly.
“Chen Chen is recuperating in seclusion right now. No one is allowed to visit him, and you’re not allowed to disturb him either.”
An Lin was feeling quite guilty at this moment. “I can’t even exchange a few words with him and ask him about his condition?”
“Although I don’t want to admit it, he’d definitely agree to your request if he were the one you were asking right now.” As if trying to intimidate him, Xue Yan leaned toward An Lin and stared him in the eyes. Her slightly cold breath tickled against his face. “However, I’m sure that you also understand. His agreement doesn’t signify a genuine and wholehearted agreement. It’s merely a demonstration of his feelings toward you. If you truly care about him, then I suggest you don’t go.”
An Lin was stupefied. What on earth is she talking about?
What does she mean I understand? I don’t understand anything!
The Ancient Dragon Empress felt a slight headache as she looked at the two individuals who seemed to be on the verge of breaking into a fight. She immediately tried to defuse the situation. “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this first. An Lin, you’ve never been to the Land of Eternal Light before, have you? I’ll give you a tour of this place. How does that sound?”
For the first time in An Lin’s memory, the Ancient Dragon Empress put on a sweet and friendly smile.
She had no other option. If she didn’t defuse this situation quickly, then it was hard to say whether or not the two individuals before her would suddenly break into a fight.
“Sounds great,” An Lin replied. Coincidentally, he also wanted to have a look around the Land of Eternal Light.
“Oh, that’s right. If you need any help dealing with Chen Chen’s wounds, then please don’t hesitate to ask me,” An Lin said to Xue Yan.
Xue Yan c.o.c.ked her head to the side and humphed coldly. “Humph! I don’t need your help.”
The Ancient Dragon Empress smiled apologetically. “Xue Yan is only a child, don’t mind her. If we need your help with anything, I’ll definitely notify you.”
An Lin nodded.
He felt quite guilty about the fact that Chen Chen was wounded because of him.
“I’ll be leaving now. Sorry for troubling you, Sister Jin Ling.” It was clear that Xue Yan couldn’t be bothered to talk to An Lin anymore. She gracefully flew toward the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Glazed Palace.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was also slightly exasperated upon seeing Xue Yan’s att.i.tude. “An Lin, sorry about her behavior. Xue Yan isn’t normally like this. Perhaps she’s feeling jealous because of Chen Chen’s recent actions.”
“Jealous? Jealous of whom?” There was a look of confusion on An Lin’s face.
The Ancient Dragon Empress turned her crimson eyes toward An Lin and huffed, “Who else can she be jealous of? Of course she’s jealous of you!”
“What?!” An Lin’s mouth gaped open in shock.
The Ancient Dragon Empress calmly explained the situation to An Lin, “It’s a well-known secret among the higher-ups that Xue Yan likes Chen Chen. However, your appearance has made her feel a sense of danger. After all, Chen Chen treats you far too well. To tell you the truth, even I’m a bit jealous of you.”
An Lin: “…”
“Chen Chen and I… our relations.h.i.+p is very pure,” An Lin said with great difficulty.
“You think that girls won’t feel jealous just because your relations.h.i.+p is pure? You’re severely underestimating the jealous nature of females.” The Ancient Dragon Empress couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing An Lin’s distressed expression. “Sister Xue Yan has never seen Chen Chen treat anyone better than he treats her—apart from you.”
An Lin’s lips twitched.
What the h.e.l.l is with this situation?
I’ve gained an extra rival in love?
Ptui!
No… I’ve become Xue Yan’s imaginary rival in love?
Xue Yan looks so cold and aloof… Who knew that her heart would burn so intensely for Chen Chen?
A thought suddenly popped into An Lin’s mind.
The poker-faced Chen Chen and this aloof Xue Yan seem like a fairly good match… If I can set them up with each other…
An Lin suddenly felt like this would be a lot of fun.
…
The Ancient Dragon Empress showed An Lin around the Land of Eternal Light.
She was dressed in a belted dragon robe, and her slender waist appeared especially delicate and slender. Her chest was voluptuous, and her figure was tall and shapely. Her long and slender legs were vaguely visible through the slit that ran down from the waist of her dragon robe.
Meanwhile, the dragon horns on her head appeared to be as exquisite and as flawless as red jade. Coupled with her finely-chiseled and wonderfully beautiful face, she appeared like a stunningly beautiful female who had an air of mightiness about her.
An Lin could sense that, after experiencing several huge and tumultuous events, the Ancient Dragon Empress’ aura had already become increasingly mighty and profound. She wasn’t as piercing and as aloof as before but was instead more like a light-hearted and friendly big sister now.
However, An Lin knew that this wasn’t a sign of her piercing nature being ground flat. Rather, it was as if a raging volcano had been contained within her body. Once it erupted, its power would rock both heaven and earth!
“This is the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect’s third echelon drill ground.” The Ancient Dragon Empress pointed at an expanse of land that was enveloped within an eggsh.e.l.l-like light barrier. This stretch of land had a perimeter of around one hundred and fifty kilometers.
Right now, there were numerous Return to Void Stage supreme beings practicing their Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques on this drill ground. At the tip of the light barrier, there was also a large, ink-written “Heaven”. Most of the supreme beings were launching their Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques toward this gigantic word.
“Most of the supreme beings in this third echelon drill ground only possess ordinary heaven crus.h.i.+ng apt.i.tudes,” the Ancient Dragon Empress explained. “Only after destroying the ‘Encas.e.m.e.nt Heaven’ are they promoted to the second echelon drill ground. There, they’ll be cla.s.sified as Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Elites.”
“Impressive. They’re able to simulate obliterating the heavens right after entering the sect,” An Lin exclaimed in marvel. He could sense a film that was extremely similar to the power of the heavens resting above the “Encas.e.m.e.nt Heaven”.
The Ancient Dragon Empress pointed toward the encas.e.m.e.nt and said, “If one can destroy that encas.e.m.e.nt, then they’ll be powerful enough to wound a Heavenly Human of the Heaven Pioneer Stage.”
An Lin nodded.
“Even the weakest official member of our Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect has a rank of the Return to Void Stage,” the Ancient Dragon Empress smiled and said. “Moreover, around eighty percent of our members are able to destroy that ‘Encas.e.m.e.nt Heaven’. The members of your sect who I taught are all able to destroy that encas.e.m.e.nt.”
A smile spread across An Lin’s face. “Phew, thank G.o.d they didn’t disappoint Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress.”
The Ancient Dragon Empress smiled faintly. “The best is yet to come. Follow me, I’ll show you the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect’s core power!”
