Chapter 15: What Are You Doing, Master? (1)
The dim lighting provided the perfect setting to speak from the depths of one's heart.
But…
There were no spectators present.
Bai Lian delicately took hold of An Lan's right hand.
This hand is tiny.
Small enough to be entirely encircled by her little fingers.
This hand is warm to the touch.
It's even warmer than a hand warmer.
Bai Lian delicately raised An Lan's hand.
Mmm.
Anyway, Master fainted at that moment. Since she was unaware of anything, please utilize it!
So, much to An Lan's surprise, Bai Lian placed her soft and fair hand on her cheek.
Rub rub.
What are you up to?
An Lan struggled to suppress the urge of pulling her hand away.
At that moment, Bai Lian mumbled.
"Master."
The overwhelming emotions made An Lan feel completely at ease.
In reality, she had no qualms about Bai Lian's actions.
Her hands feel very warm, while Bai Lian's face is cool to the touch, which is perfectly balanced when they are brought together.
Does this indicate that they are on the same wavelength?
An Lan smiled to herself.
(๑´ㅂ`๑)
Bai Lian apologized, "I'm sorry, Shifu. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in this condition."
That's right.
An Lan agreed.
If it wasn't for the purple-haired woman's desire to kidnap Bai Lian, she wouldn't have resorted to such a disgraceful act.
Damn.
Get away from here, you stupid purple-haired woman!
Bai Lian slowly moved her hand away and lowered her head.
"Master, you must lead a good life."
It's needless to say.
An Lan scoffed inwardly.
That detestable woman with horns on her head failed to kill her in the Immortal World, so how could anyone in this small world succeed?
Just stay put for three months. Oh wait, three months is too long. Two months will suffice.
By that time, she'll sit up straight and pronounce that An Lan has returned in full force!
Bai Lian's vision started to blur.
It's dusty.
She used her hand to wipe her eyes.
Despite being asleep, An Lan still looks as beautiful as a fairy.
Bai Lian recalled the explanation about An Lan from the role card.
It can be said that [Image management] has become a part of An Lan's soul.
Other characters died in various ways, such as being cut into pieces, smashed into pulp, or hung upside down on trees, like her younger Martial Sisters.
An Lan was different in that she would maintain her dignity even in death.
"I am the Immortal Heavenly Lord, and as the Heavenly Lord, I should have the majesty befitting of that title!"
The "five declinings" of the Immortal, as they're called, include having tattered clothes, a shriveled head, sweaty armpits, a body odor, and an uncomfortable lifestyle.
Proud as she is, An Lan will not let this fate befall her.
As a result, in the game, she chooses to take her own life when she can't find a way to save herself.
"I won't allow that to happen."
Bai Lian gazed steadily at An Lan.
Ever since she met An Lan a long time ago, she has had an intense longing for her.
So.
As she sat alone in the chilly pool during the Mid-Autumn Festival, or stood alone before the wooden table laden with dishes on New Year's Eve, or walked solo through the bustling streets during the Lantern Festival, not a single complaint about An Lan crossed her mind.
She had been waiting for four years.
Walking side by side with An Lan wasn't easy for her.
She didn't want it to turn into a mere dream once again.
Bai Lian still knows the solution, thanks to the game.
She can make An Lan get rid of her declining period as long as she can find the Immortal Spirit Qi or a piece of the Rule of the Great Way.
"Shifu, you protected me before and I will do everything to protect you in the future!"
Bai Lian placed An Lan's hand back.
Consider this as an oath.
Ordinarily, she was absolutely afraid to speak up.
Because she feared rejection.
The game master was as cold as the polar snowfield.
Shifu was sleeping and the cave entrance was blocked by a magic array, which allowed her to speak her mind freely.
Is it just you?
An Lan showed a lot of disdain.
Don't assume that you are truly strong!
Unless you can advance to the Transmigration Stage, it is not advisable to make such confident claims.
You should become my disciple in earnest now.
Bai Lian smiled silently.
Mmm.
It would be better!
"Four years feels short, but even forty years wouldn't feel long enough. Let's make a wish. I hope Shifu will still be with me when the next era arrives."
"…"
Suddenly, An Lan's heart rate accelerated.
Can you please refrain from using such misleading words!
And.
How could we still be together once you have flown to the Immortal World when the next era arrives?
With this thought, An Lan's heart rate returned to normal.
She felt a vague sense of being lost.
Look.
She shouldn't have taken on any disciples from the beginning.
If a disciple has poor talent, they will die within a few hundred years, but with good talent, they will quickly rise to the Immortal World.
In the end, she will still be alone on Qiongming Peak.
What is the necessity of the intermediate experience when everything ultimately goes from emptiness to emptiness?
Yan Yue might seem stupid, but it's precisely her level of stupidity that makes her unique. She has resided on Zhuyan Peak for over four centuries, and it's challenging to come across someone who is so inept at cultivation.
Bai Lian was also pondering along with An Lan.
A fragment of the Great Tao's Rule~
Does the Tao Halo on her provide assistance?
If it is helpful…
Anyways, try it out first.
