Chapter 748: Location for the Sect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“My name is Yao Ji. Please give me instructions, Master!”
Gundam Four’s voice was a surprisingly pleasant female voice.
After it awakened, it turned to An Lin before bowing in a graceful manner.
An Lin was shocked. “You can speak?!”
A very personified expression of confusion appeared on the Gundam’s face. “I represent the highest standard of Purple Star artificial intelligence, why wouldn’t I be able to speak? Not only can I speak, but I also have extremely powerful learning abilities.”
An Lin suddenly felt as if Gundam One and Gundam Two were neanderthals upon hearing this.
“Alright, Yao Ji is a weird name, let’s call you Gundam Four!” An Lin patted the Gundam’s shoulder with elation on his face.
“Master, forgive me for being blunt, but for a person to come with a name like Gundam Four indicates lack of sophistication as well as a lack of appreciation toward valuable things… You’re not a very good owner,” the Gundam retorted with an enraged expression.
An Lin: “…”
Holy f*ck! What just happened?
This Gundam could refute its owner?!
An Lin was dumbstruck as the women around him chuckled with mirth.
“I’m your master and that’s the name I’m giving to you. All you need to do is follow instructions, understood?” An Lin turned to the Gundam with a stern expression.
The Gundam tilted its head in a forty-five-degree angle to look up into the sky as tears flowed from its eyes. “My heart is as bright as the moon, but the moonlight s.h.i.+nes upon a dark abyss…” [1. This is an excerpt from an ancient Chinese poem which basically means that one extends love toward another, but that love is not reciprocated, just like the moonlight which falls on a dark abyss.]
An Lin’s expression darkened upon hearing this. Holy s.h.i.+t, this thing could even use poems to express its emotions?!
The Gundam joined its thumb and middle finger with the rest of its fingers extended in a traditional hand gesture before delivering a monologue in a falsetto, “I am a flower blossoming in the wind, awaiting the right person to water me and care for me, only for me to be heartlessly plucked and mistreated an insensitive man.”
An Lin received another heavy blow upon hearing this.
He repressed the urge to vomit blood before turning to look at Bai Ling. “Is there something wrong with this Gundam? Is it a f*cking theater graduate?!”
Bai Ling pursed her lips as she fought to suppress her laughter. “This power core is part of the most high-quality batch that is part of the top-tier artificial intelligence program, so all of them possess a different programmed consciousness.
“Perhaps this Gundam named Yao Ji was programmed to be more free-spirited?”
Free-spirited? This was a f*cking Gundam that could insult its owner through poems! How could it be described as just free-spirited?!
An Lin suddenly missed the idiotic Gundam One and Gundam Two, which were incapable of speech.
“Alright, Gundam Four, come back.” An Lin had no interest at getting p.i.s.sed off by a Gundam.
The Gundam completely ignored him as it raised its proud head.
An Lin: “…”
“Get back here, Yao Ji!” An Lin snapped.
“Yes, Master!” An intimate smile appeared on the Gundam’s face as it made its way toward An Lin before disappearing into his storage ring.
An Lin heaved a long sigh of relief before ma.s.saging his brows. “Phew… thank G.o.d I’ve gotten rid of that.”
“Big Brother An, I think this chick is pretty hot! She’s super sophisticated! Woof!” Da Bai wagged his tongue as a h.o.r.n.y expression appeared on his face.
An Lin: “… Shut up!”
“Alright, the benefits had all been distributed. An Lin, you need to do something for me now!” Bai Ling clapped her hands with a smile.
“Huh?” An Lin faltered upon hearing this.
“What? Don’t you know it’s rude to take presents without giving anything in return?” Bai Ling glared at An Lin.
An Lin: “…”
As expected, he had fallen into a trap. There was no way he could refuse now after accepting such a valuable gift…
“Alright, tell me what you need.” An Lin sighed as he obliged.
Bai Ling had helped him a lot, so he couldn’t just reject her now.
“Give me a job at your Four Nine Immortal Sect!” Bai Ling demanded.
An Lin was taken aback by her request. Heh… this was him doing a favor for her; she was doing him a favor here!
This was a request? This was a trustworthy Return to Void Final Stage mighty figure who was giving herself to the sect for free! This was something that he could only dream of!
An Lin was ecstatic, but he feigned a hesitant expression and only gave a reply after a short pause, “Alright! There’s definitely a spot for you here in our sect!”
Everyone: “…”
As expected of the sect leader, what convincing acting skills!
“Great!” Bai Ling was truly elated. “You told me you have pavilions in your sect, right? Can I become the lord of the Purple Star Pavilion?”
“No problem, you’d be perfect for that role!” An Lin approved with a joyful grin.
Thus, there was one more powerful coattail in the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
“We’re going to pick a location to establish our immortal sect next. Do you want to come?” An Lin asked.
Bai Ling shook her head lightly. “No thanks. I still have some things I need to do here in this small world. Just tell me when you decide on a location. Let’s exchange voice transmission talismans.”
An Lin didn’t press the issue and bade farewell after exchanging voice transmission talismans with Bai Ling.
Thinking back, An Lin had practically begged Bai Ling to exchange voice transmission talismans, but she refused and left like a majestic wild horse, saying that they would meet again if fate dictated it to be so.
Now, they had met again, and Bai Ling voluntarily gave An Lin her voice transmission talisman. Perhaps this was the fate that she had once referred to.
An Lin and the others left.
Bai Ling looked up at their departing figures and muttered to herself, “There’s no time… I hope I can make it in time. After all, you’re a man who has created so many miracles in the short span of a few years. Perhaps you’ll be able to give me a few more surprises in the time to come?”
Along with Liu Qianhuan, Su Qianyun, and Xiao Ze, An Lin flew on Da Bai’s back toward the system of valleys at the center of this small world. They followed Bai Ling’s instructions and soon came to a spatial pa.s.sageway, from which they departed from this small world.
They were then all befuddled by the sight that was revealed to them.
“Gasp… what the h.e.l.l is this place?!” An Lin’s eyes were wide with shock.
They had appeared on a set of lush gra.s.slands.
The gra.s.slands extended as far as the eyes could see in all directions, and many majestic plants grew here, all of which were releasing boundless vitality.
The rich vital energy here formed cloud and mist, which drifted through the air, and the entire place was a beautiful sight to behold.
Liu Qianhuan silently pulled out her phone and activated a spell formation, upon which a pillar of light rose into the sky before a value was displayed on her phone.
She stared at the information on her phone for several stunned seconds before speaking, “I just determined our location from my phone and a.s.suming my phone hasn’t broken, this place is the exact place that the phoenix egg appeared at…”
Everyone was shocked. What kind of power could transform such a vast expanse of charred land into a lush oasis like this?
No one had an answer, so they could only guess that it had something to do with the phoenix egg.
Perhaps the phenomena triggered by the phoenix egg had transformed this environment?
An Lin finally said after a long while, “I have a bold idea!”
“I think I know what you’re thinking, and I like it, woof!” Da Bai chimed in.
The two of them exchanged knowing smiles, hehehe…
Within the Phoenix Research Inst.i.tute.
Bai Ling farewelled everyone with a melancholy expression.
However, only a short while had pa.s.sed before her voice transmission talisman began to flash.
Her voice transmission talisman hadn’t lit up for over ten thousand years. Why was that man calling her so soon after they had left? Had something happened?
She accepted the voice transmission with confusion on her face. “What is it?”
“We’ve chosen the location for our sect, hehe.” A smug chuckle sounded from the other side of the voice transmission.
Bai Ling was shocked. “So soon? Where is it?”
“Right at your doorstep!” The man chuckled before adding, “It’s right at the exit of the small world. This is a fantastic place! Perhaps this was all pre-ordained by fate!”
Bai Ling: “…”
