Chapter 427: I Need Someone to Warm My Bed

An Lin could feel that the space around him was changing, and he soon arrived on a round platform.

Radiant sunlight shone on his body, and he could smell the faint scent of the divine tree in the wind, making him feel as if he had traveled from hell to heaven.

He finally blacked out as his tightly wound heart completely relaxed.

“Master!” a panicked yell sounded from beside him.

An Lin felt his head crashing into a muscular, hairy chest before he passed out.

Amid the darkness, an unknown amount of time passed.

An Lin’s finger twitched, and he could feel his hand being held tightly by a soft, warm hand. The hand gripping his gave him a sense of comfort and security.

He opened his bleary eyes to find a woman in a Jade Barley Ink Garment leaning by his bedside.

It appeared to be nighttime now, and the faint light of a candle shone up the woman’s fair features, making her appear especially delicate and gentle.

An Lin stared silently at the woman beside him while feeling extremely touched. It was a really nice feeling to wake up after enduring a near-death experience to find a person staying silently by his side.

Xu Xiaolan’s head leaned lightly against the side of the bed, and her delicate eyelashes twitched as she inhaled and exhaled in a steady rhythm. A sliver of intricate collarbone peeked out from the collar of her dress, which glowed faintly under the candlelight.

An Lin didn’t want to rouse Xu Xiaolan from her slumber, but he thought that it was probably quite uncomfortable leaning against the side of the bed like that. Besides, his bed was pretty large; he felt like it could fit the two of them at once…

Just as he was grappling with these two options, Xu Xiaolan opened her eyes. After seeing An Lin looking back at her, her bleary eyes suddenly lit up to resemble a couple of beautiful stars in the night.

The two of them stared at each other with neither of them uttering a single word.

“How are you feeling?” Xu Xiaolan broke the silence first.

“Uh… a lot better. I’m just a little bit cold so I think I’ll feel better if there’s someone to warm my bed…” An Lin replied with a blush on his face.

His heart thumped like crazy in his chest as he spoke. He was not cold at all. On the contrary, he was suddenly sweating!

The atmosphere became a little bit awkward, and An Lin could feel that Xu Xiaolan was grasping his hand a little bit tighter than before.

Xu Xiaolan suddenly chuckled lightly. “Oh, I see… Well, your wolf slave is still waiting in the other room, should I call him over to warm your bed?”

A chill ran down An Lin’s spine at her suggestion, and he hurriedly refused. “No need! I’m suddenly not cold anymore.”

A smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face as she looked at An Lin’s horrified expression, making her appear particularly alluring under the candlelight.

“Huh, but the humanoid wolf didn’t have a teleportation badge, how did he return with me?” An Lin was a bit perplexed.

Xu Xiaolan pondered the question for a moment before providing an explanation, “Even the elders are quite perplexed about this. Their theory is that perhaps it was because you have established a slave contract with the humanoid wolf. Perhaps it’s through the contract that your presences were linked, and you two were in physical contact at the time, so the teleportation badge determined that you two were the same person and teleported both of you at once.”

An Lin nodded slowly at her explanation. It looked like he and humanoid wolf were somewhat bound by fate; perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep him then.

A thought then suddenly occurred to him. “Xiaolan, have you awakened your domain yet?”

“I have, I did so on the day before you returned,” Xu Xiaolan replied happily.

“Haha, congratulations, I told you you’d have no problems!” An Lin was ecstatic for her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t muster up a single shred of strength, he would’ve jumped up to give her a hug.

“Oh right, what happened in the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds? It looks like Brother Yang Yuan is very grateful to you and even the icy beauty Shangguan Yi has quite a high opinion of you.” Xu Xiaolan looked at An Lin with a curious glint in her eyes. “When Mo Hai was making his report to the sect, I was too busy looking after you, so I didn’t know what had happened. Do you want to fill me in?”

An Lin smiled lightly. “It’s a long story, the final battle was an earth-shattering event that drew tears from even the gods! But I have to go back first and begin the story with how the black phoenix was sealed within the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds…”

An Lin didn’t really even need to exaggerate the battle to make it sound bada*s, because it was an extremely bada*s battle already.

The candlelight flickered, and An Lin excitedly recounted his glorious feats as Xu Xiaolan listened with relish by his bedside.

…

The next morning, An Lin woke up feeling full of energy.

He was a little sad when Xu Xiaolan returned to her own room to rest, but overall, he was feeling very good.

After learning of An Lin’s awakening, all his beast pets gathered to look after him.

Da Bai had already trained the humanoid wolf into submission, and he was now referring to Da Bai as Big Brother Bai.

The humanoid wolf was a heavenly fire mutant beast who was also a member of the Ancient Man Tribe with power equivalent to a Soul Formation Final Stage cultivator. However, he was like an obedient servant tending to An Lin’s every need, and it was making An Lin a little uncomfortable.

In the words of the humanoid wolf, An Lin was the light, An Lin was heaven and earth, An Lin was the only thing he believed in, and he wished to follow An Lin for the rest of his life.

In the face of such a cringy confession, An Lin made his thoughts extremely clear: if he ever said something so corny again, he would be immediately swept out the door!

The humanoid wolf finally restrained himself at An Lin’s behest, but he was still like a dependent little puppy that wasn’t too different from his retarded superfans.

After that, Mo Hai, Lu Jiazhi, and Shangguan Yi also came to visit An Lin, and they brought along a lot of regenerative spirit pills and spirit fruits.

An Lin immediately accepted their gifts with pleasure.

Lu Jiazhi had been trapped in a mystic realm at that time and was thus unable to rescue Yang Yuan. After hearing a detailed recount of events from An Lin and the others, he was extremely remorseful, but there really was nothing more he could’ve done.

As for Ji Yongfang, who knew what he was doing at that time; no one cared about him anyway.

Lastly, a rather unexpected guest came to visit An Lin.

This was a beautiful woman in a white Daoist robe.

She was Yang Yuan’s Dao partner-to-be, Tao Zhi, so she was technically a Sect Sister to An Lin.

She immediately bowed to An Lin in order to express her gratitude upon her arrival.

“Brother An Lin, Yang Yuan is still bedridden with injuries, so I came to visit you in his stead.

“If it wasn’t for you risking your life to save him, Yang Yuan would probably be…”

Tears flowed down her face and she broke down in sobs as she said, “Thank you, from the bottom of my heart…”

An Lin hurriedly waved his hand at the sight of the sobbing Tao Zhi. “I was just doing what was expected of me. As fellow disciples of the same sect, we should always be looking out for one another, so there’s no need to thank me, Sister Tao.”

Tao Zhi wiped the tears away from her face and a smile appeared on her face. “Yang Yuan and I will be holding our wedding in three years; you have to be in attendance when the time comes.”

An Lin faltered slightly before a smile of his own appeared on his face. “For sure!”

Tao Zhi placed a storage ring beside An Lin’s bed and continued, “Then I won’t interrupt your recovery any further. There’s a gift of gratitude from Yang Yuan in the storage ring, and I added some gifts of my own in there. Please don’t refuse this gift, it would be disrespectful to Yang Yuan and I, understood?”

An Lin nodded as he took in Tao Zhi’s serious expression. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

He didn’t have a habit of refusing presents anyway.

Bring on all the good stuff, hahaha…

Tao Zhi smiled in contentment before taking her leave.

An Lin picked up the storage ring and began to refine it.

This was an ordinary storage ring with only ten feet of storage space. He didn’t think that there would be anything in there that would come as a shock, but he soon found that he was wrong…
