Chapter 1195: An Lin’s Divine Tool
The number one pill refinement master of the Heavenly Court was refining a divine pill for him while the number one tool refinement master of the Heavenly Court was refining a divine tool for him. This was pretty much the best combination possible.
An Lin wasn’t really worried that something would go wrong, but he still decided to pay Emperor Ziwei a visit.
He was quite curious about just how a divine tool was refined.
Su Qianyun stayed behind to play with Yue Tu, so An Lin headed to the Ziwei Pavilion by himself.
Atop a vast expanse of white clouds, a series of grand immortal buildings appeared before his eyes.
Five pillars of divine light rose into the sky, as if they were supporting the entire heavens.
An Lin made his way to the core region of the Heavenly Court, greeting all of the familiar immortals along the way.
“Hey, Mr. An Lin, I heard you went to wreak havoc in the Dragon Court? How exciting! Why didn’t you call me up? I would’ve loved to come with you…” A delicate youth standing atop two wind flame wheels with a heavenly red silk scarf around his body flew toward An Lin with excitement etched onto his face.
An Lin’s face convulsed slightly as he offered an explanation, “Mr. Ne Zha, I did not go to wreak havoc on the Dragon Court. I was only there to borrow money!”
“Haha… I understand. When I made my last visit, I was going to enjoy some wine with the old Dragon King.” A slightly disconsolate expression appeared on his face as he continued, “But my father refused to believe me and sealed me away for a century.”
An Lin: “…”
Drink wine my f*cking *ss!
The last time Ne Zha visited the Dragon Court, he had stained the entire Dragon Court red with dragon blood and almost completely shattered the good relations the Dragon Court shared with the Heavenly Court! Even an idiot knew that Ne Zha’s words were not to be trusted!
As for An Lin, he really was just there to borrow some money!
He bade farewell to Ne Zha.
Other immortals passing by came over to greet him.
An Lin was extremely renowned throughout the entire Heavenly Court, so all of the immortals were quite warm and enthusiastic toward him.
However, their words of greeting were a little scathing.
“Hi Mr. An Lin, I heard Xu Xiaolan became the first Return to Void Stage student of The United University of Cultivation. How do you feel about this as the man in the relationship?”
“Mr. Qian Liyan, cultivation bases don’t tell the whole story. Xiaolan is superior to me in terms of cultivation base, but she listens to everything I say. If I tell her to do something, she wouldn’t dare not to do it!”
“Oh, that makes sense. I’ll pass on what you said to Ms. Xu Xiaolan.”
“No! Mr. Qian Liyan, please wait! I have some Dragon Court pearl eye drops for you that are great for improving eye health and clarity of vision…”
…
“Hi Mr. An Lin, long time no see. When is Chef God Xiaolan going to resume her business? I’m dying to get a taste of her food again…”
“Celestial Maiden Ying Cao, you seem to have forgotten that I’m a Chef God too. Why aren’t you asking me when I’ll be back in business?”
An Lin felt like he was being ignored.
“Hehe… you’re so busy all the time, Sect Leader An Lin. Besides, you can’t make Xiaolan’s signature dish, Holy Flame Pig Trotter Cheating Man Stew.” Celestial Maiden Ying Cao stuck her tongue out.
“Wha… what did you say?” An Lin shuddered upon hearing this.
“Holy Flame Pig Trotter Cheating Man Stew! It’s super delicious and very popular among all of the tycoon Celestial Maidens of the Heavenly Court…” Celestial Maiden Ying Cao explained with a smile.
A chill ran down An Lin’s spine, and his features paled as he hurriedly bade farewell to Celestial Maiden Ying Cao.
What the hell…
Why would Xiaolan make a dish like this…
Is she trying to imply something?
A series of questions flew through An Lin’s mind, and in the end, he made a decision to be good to Xiaolan from now on in case she developed some other terrifying ideas…
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the Ziwei Pavilion.
The purple divine light pillar that illuminated the entire Heavenly Court was actually quite gentle on the eye and was not as dazzling and piercing as one would expect.
There was a little girl holding an antiquated sword standing by the gate.
She immediately jogged over at the sight of An Lin before speaking in a tender voice, “Hello, handsome big brother, what business do you…”
She didn’t get a chance to finish her sentence before a cold voice sounded, “Get back here, Zi Ling! That man is too dangerous, so take extra care around him.”
An Lin stood rooted to the spot.
At this moment, Emperor Ziwei appeared with a serious expression that was filled with prestige and majesty.
“What business do you have today, Mr. An Lin?” Emperor Ziwei asked with a solemn expression.
“I’m not here for anything in particular, I just wanted to inquire about my divine tool,” An Lin replied with a smile.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Mr. An Lin. The divine tool is coming along quite nicely. I will have it ready for you in six months to a century!” Emperor Ziwei promised with conviction in his voice.
An Lin was astonished. “Why is there such a massive range?!”
“Is there? The upper limit is only a short hundred years! How is that long?” Emperor Ziwei spoke with furrowed brows.
An Lin rolled his eyes. “How is a hundred years short? I think our concepts of time are a little different. In a hundred years, I will already have children with Xiaolan!”
Emperor Ziwei shook his head. “Being impatient won’t do you any good. I have to take full responsibility for every single procedure. Refining a divine tool requires the utmost precision and attention!”
Emperor Ziwei’s diligence seemed to have resonated with An Lin, and so, he stopped trying to hurry Emperor Ziwei. Instead, he turned with a curious expression to look at the little girl who was holding onto Emperor Ziwei’s sleeve in an affectionate manner. “Emperor Ziwei, this Zi Ling is so adorable! Is she your daughter?”
Emperor Ziwei asked with a cautious expression, “Why do you ask?”
“Oi oi… Ziwei, why are you looking at me like I’m some sort of pedophile?” An Lin was getting a little disgruntled. “You’re slandering me in front of this adorable, innocent little girl!”
“However, this little girl sure has an eye for handsome men. She immediately called me handsome big brother just then…” An Lin was clearly quite fond of this little girl.
Zi Ling spoke in her tender voice, “Papa taught me that. He told me that I should call men with mediocre looks handsome big brother as that would make them feel better!”
Emperor Ziwei smiled. “My adopted daughter does indeed have a good eye for handsome men.”
An Lin: “…”
“To think that even Senior Ziwei has an adopted daughter. I always thought you were the kind of man who was cold and arrogant, without any desires nor heartfelt emotions. Who would have thought that you would become a little girl’s papa?”
An Lin had to recover for a moment before sighing with emotion.
Emperor Ziwei’s lips twitched imperceptibly. Why did it sound like An Lin was insulting him?
However, An Lin’s words seemed to have opened up a new can of worms.
Emperor Ziwei was indeed seemingly completely disinterested in women. Apparently, he had never tried to pursue any Celestial Maidens, and he turned down all of the Celestial Maidens who took the initiative to pursue him.
This was a well-known fact by everyone in the Heavenly Court. Emperor Ziwei even had the nickname of Paragon Lone Wolf as a result, which was why An Lin was quite surprised.
Ziwei gently held onto Zi Ling’s little hand. “It’s not that I don’t want to be in a relationship and find a dao partner for myself… It’s just that there are no women in this world worthy of me! I don’t want to make any compromises, and that’s why I’ve been single up to this very day!”
An arrogant and aloof aura emanated from his body as he spoke.
An Lin: “…”
An Lin felt like he had figured out why Ziwei was single.
