Chapter 565: Ordering of An Lin’s Brigade
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin was overcome with a feeling of melancholy as he fiddled with the three snowy-white storage rings in his hands.
Tobias, Ca.s.sidy, and Merlin each received five millimeters of holy blood as their reward. After all, their achievements were equivalent to slaying three Return to Void Stage beings.
After drinking An Lin’s blood, the three Blood Tribe cultivators lay down on his black brick in satisfaction.
After resting for a short while, An Lin started refining and taking inventory of the three snow maidens’ storage rings.
He had witnessed the pitiable wealth of snow maidens before, so he didn’t harbor any high expectations. It was also because of this mindset that he was given a pleasant surprise by what lay inside the storage rings.
Including the Realm Essence Crystals that they had obtained from the Long Shang just now, they had a total of eight golden Realm Essence Crystal, eighteen red Realm Essence Crystal, twenty-five blue Realm Essence Crystals, ten green Realm Essence Crystals, and fifty-one white Realm Essence Crystals.
In addition, there were also one million and three hundred thousand spirit stones, twenty spirit tools, and over thirty spirit pills and spirit fruits.
There were also three eighth-rank immortal fruits—Red Ice Immortal Fruit. This immortal fruit could strengthen one’s soul and improve one’s ice elemental ability.
Furthermore, there was an intermediate-rank immortal weapon—Divine Sun Sword. This immortal weapon was forged from the Dao observation stone where Golden Crow, a mythological beast, rested upon.
An Lin’s heart ached when he saw this immortal sword. This was snow maiden Rou Gu’s weapon! Without this weapon, would she face dangers due to her strength declining considerably?
If Rou Gu died, then it would be because of him…
An Lin was feeling a bit gloomy as he stowed the treasures away. Then, he set off with his teammates once again.
Right now, his team was strong enough to do as they pleased in this Void Star Realm.
Three Return to Void Stage Blood Tribe cultivators, one Return to Void Stage fairy, one black dragon, which was at least as powerful as three Return to Void Stage Blood Tribe cultivators, and the most adorable Xue Zhantian as well as the most handsome An Lin… This lineup was invincible!
Even An Lin was surprised by how powerful his brigade had become.
The past him would never have been able to envision such a future.
He had already gathered eighty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals, and he was close to achieving his small target of gathering one hundred. He had also obtained the wealth of almost ten Return to Void Stage beings, and his personal wealth had reached a jaw-dropping level…
His achievements were simply incredible!
After taking in numerous beast pets and several servants, An Lin realized that he needed to order them accordingly. Thereupon, he turned toward Xue Zhantian, who he was holding in his arms, and said, “I took in four beast pets before you, so you’re Fifth Brother in the future, understand?”
Xue Zhantian was especially cowardly right now, so he nodded his head emphatically without raising any objections.
“Giant An Lin, what about me then?” Tina asked softly.
An Lin faltered slightly. “Little Na, this ordering is for my beast pets. You’re not my beast pet yet!”
“Oh…” There was a complicated expression on Tina’s face as she nodded.
“As for my servants… Ca.s.sidy is servant number two, and Merlin is servant number three…” An Lin continued.
Ca.s.sidy pursed her lips in discontent upon hearing that she was only second in line. “I clearly followed you first, Holy Leader…”
Merlin chuckled indifferently. “Whatever, letting the most powerful Tobias be servant number one isn’t too bad either.”
Tobias clasped his hands together and saluted in satisfaction. “It’s nothing more than a mere label, there’s no need for you guys to take it to heart.”
“Tobias is servant number four,” An Lin added. “I forgot to mention that I took in a wolf servant before you guys. The wolf is servant number one.”
Tobias: “…”
Ca.s.sidy burst into a fit of giggles.
“Ahem… that um… Little Tobias, it’s nothing more than a mere label. There’s no need for you to take it to heart… Bahahaha…” Merlin didn’t actually want to laugh. However, under the effects of the emotional explosions, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Tobias raised his head dejectedly and gazed at a certain star in the sky. “Lucy, only you can provide me with a hint of warmth in this cruel world. Why did you leave me…”
After saying this, tears started trickling down his face.
Xiao Ze was extremely worked up, and he tugged at An Lin’s sleeve impatiently. “Master, what about me? What number disciple am I?”
“You…” As An Lin gazed at Xiao Ze’s pure and innocent eyes, he developed the illusion that Xiao Ze was an adorable child. He immediately shook his head to rid himself of these strange thoughts. “You’re my first disciple,” he said with a chuckle, “so you’re naturally disciple number one.”
Boom!
Xiao Ze was completely stunned. His innocent face was full of shock and amazement.
He was actually number one… An overwhelming feeling of happiness exploded in his mind, causing him to feel slightly dizzy.
“I’m actually the chief disciple… No! I’m the only disciple! Hehe…” Xiao Ze started chuckling stupidly as he muttered to himself.
What did this imply? This implied that he was Master’s only personal disciple! This implied that most of the cultivation resources would be given to him!
Cultivation mantras, top-notch cultivation methods of the Dragon Tribe, experiences, Dao intent… He would receive everything that he could wish for!
Xiao Ze could already envision himself reaching the pinnacle of life.
Upon seeing Xiao Ze’s ecstatic expression, the pity in An Lin’s eyes grew even stronger.
Silly child, you’re rejoicing far too early…
Tina was sitting on An Lin’s shoulder at this moment, and her small head was slightly lowered. Her eyes were dull and gloomy, and her slender legs swayed slightly. Her small hands were clenching An Lin’s clothes tightly.
As if sensing the strange movements of the small hands on his shoulder, An Lin turned his head slightly to gaze at Tina. “What’s wrong, Tina?” he asked in a soft and gentle voice.
“It’s nothing…” The small, twenty-centimeter tall fairy shook her head.
After a short while, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded next to his ear. “Giant An Lin, you said that you would only be in this Ancient Tai Chu Realm for a month. How many days are left?”
“Around… five to six days…” An Lin replied after a short pause.
“Then how are you guys returning?” Tina asked.
“We have s.p.a.ce teleportation talismans that can directly teleport us back.”
“What about Xue Zhantian then?”
“He’s already signed a beast pet contract with me.” An Lin chuckled and said, “As long as I’m holding onto him, the teleportation talisman will be able to recognize his aura and teleport him out alongside me.”
Xiao Ze threw his arms into the air and grinned, “Me too! I’m yet to sense the power of the Dao Integration Stage, so I’m unable to cut across the two realms. However, I can rely on the spiritual connection between Master and me to escape this place!”
Tina lowered her head imperceptibly. “G-Giant An Lin, what do you think about me then?”
An Lin lifted Tina with his thumb and forefinger and placed her onto the palm of his left hand.
Tina raised her head, and what she saw was An Lin’s extremely sincere and genuine expression.
An Lin smiled and replied, “Tina is great! I’ve said this before, you’re extremely beautiful, and you’re also very strong. I realize that my request might be a little brusque, but I still want to say it… Leave this place with me! Come to Tai Chu Continent with me!
“I’ll take you to visit stunning sceneries, and I’ll let you witness more of this vast world. You can choose to become my beast pet, or you can choose to become my disciple. These are merely ways for you to leave this place. I’ll treat you sincerely like my closest friends.”
Tina’s expression faltered, and she murmured, “So you knew what I wanted to say…”
“Don’t be silly, didn’t we agree on this earlier?” An Lin said softly. “I promised to explore this vast world with you. This promise… is effective forever!”
The rims of Tina’s eyes reddened upon hearing this. Then, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Giant An Lin, you’re such a good person! You’re also an honest person who keeps your promises!” Tina praised An Lin’s character as she wiped her tears away.
She had labeled him as a good and honest person at the same time. What else could An Lin ask for? All he could do was smile warmly and pat her small head gently.
After a short while, the fairy stopped crying. “Giant An Lin, I’ve reached a decision. I want to become your beast pet!”
An Lin was a bit surprised. He had thought that Tina would choose to become his disciple. After all, she would be able to leave this realm as long as she developed a spiritual connection with him.
He didn’t hesitate for long before nodding in approval. “Alright, I’ll take you in as a beast pet!”
Just like that, An Lin recited a series of incantations and let out a drop of his golden blood essence. Then, some form of spiritual connection formed between him and Tina.
Tina had officially joined An Lin’s group of beast pets!
“Little Tian, Tina is Fifth Sister and you’re Sixth Brother from now on, understand?”
In fact, he had viewed Tina as a member of his group since long ago. Thus, he made a small adjustment to the ordering of his beast pets.
Xue Zhantian, who was still consumed in terror, shuddered. He didn’t raise any objections and nodded his head emphatically.
Little Na smiled sweetly. She flapped her golden wings and flew around An Lin joyfully. She even gave An Lin a peck on the cheek. She appeared especially adorable right now, and the self-abasing feeling instilled within her by the natural laws of this realm was washed away by a feeling called happiness.
Why didn’t she choose to become An Lin’s disciple? Because Xiao Ze was difficult to pick on, whereas Xue Zhantian was easy to pick on!
An Lin’s heart melted as he looked at the adorable little fairy. He couldn’t wait to bring his new beast pets back to meet with Da Bai and the others. That was definitely going to interesting…
