Chapter 11 Part 2: An Lan’s Great Victory! (2)
What the hell.
Do the master and disciple in your household engage in such intimate behavior together?
This gift… I have to throw it away. Hurry up… Throw…
Bai Lian’s voice suddenly rang out, “Master, if you feel it is not good, I still have…”
An Lan abruptly interrupted her, saying, “It’s mediocre at best, but it doesn’t look bad. Anyway, I’ve never worn anything like that before.”
Despite her words, her actions betrayed the thoughts in her heart.
She hurriedly stuffed the pendant into her chest, as if afraid of it being snatched away by Bai Lian.
Hmm.
Bai Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
She was also afraid that her master would refuse.
Now, looking at the cuteness inadvertently revealed by her master, she even wanted to…
Forget it, she didn’t want to do anything.
The gift was presented, and the cave fell silent once again.
Because of what happened in her dream, Bai Lian had been feeling guilty these days and hadn’t prepared much.
She didn’t know what to do next, so she thought it best to bid farewell and return to her own room.
“Master.”
“Come and walk with me.”
An Lan jumped out of bed and exclaimed abruptly.
Hey?
Bai Lian agreed immediately.
An Lan said, “It’s already late, let’s wander around in the vicinity.”
The two of them left the cave, one in front of the other, and plunged into the light of the full moon night.
The night in early autumn still retained some warmth, yet there was a slight chill in the air.
An Lan led the way ahead, taking Bai Lian away from Qiongming Peak and eventually arriving at a small mountain, rarely visited by people.
The mountain was overgrown with weeds, yet at the summit lay a massive stone, polished to a smooth and even surface—perfect for reclining and gazing upon the starry expanse above.
Bai Lian sat down, mimicking her master’s posture, completely unaware of why her master had brought her here.
After a while, An Lan, who had been silent, suddenly raised her right hand.
“I used to really enjoy watching the starry sky.”
“?!”
Bai Lian’s ears perked up immediately.
She suddenly realized that this was the first time her master had talked to her about her own past.
She felt slightly excited.
Perhaps, this was an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of her master.
Her understanding of An Lan had mostly come from the game’s plot and character background.
An Lan continued, “At that time, I didn’t know why I enjoyed gazing at the starry sky. I only felt that by doing so, any amount of melancholy would dissipate.”
She lay sprawled on the boulder, her posture completely devoid of grace or composure.
This was an extremely relaxed state.
Through her wide sleeves, Bai Lian could still catch glimpses of her master’s armpit, which was as glossy as jade.
What effect would teasing with the tongue have?
Suddenly, An Lan said, “Just now I suddenly remembered something, and I understood why I love it.”
“What’s that?” questioned Bai Lian.
An Lan waved toward the sky.
She said, “Actually, I also have a master.”
Bai Lian knew that the master mentioned was not Yan Xiyi.
However, An Lan’s role card didn’t mention this, so Bai Lian simply listened quietly.
That was a long, long time ago.
At that time, An Lan was young, not as tall as the fifth Martial Sister.
She was born into a peasant family in the lower realm, where they could barely maintain their subsistence.
She was frail, often ill, and it seemed inevitable that she would pass away before reaching adulthood.
But everything changed on a starry night.
“While chasing a wild cat on the edge of a field, I accidentally fell into a well…”
The well was deep and filled with water. Given An Lan’s delicate body, there was no chance of survival if she fell in.
But she just fainted.
At midnight, An Lan roused from her deep slumber.
What came into view was a brilliant starry sky unlike any seen before.
Around the well, millions of stars began to swirl.
This scenery is rare to even catch a glimpse of for the Immortals in the sky, and little An Lan was quickly entranced.
She lowered her head again, realizing she was standing on the surface of the water.
The water in the well reflected the stars, creating another starry sky.
Little An Lan gently stroked the surface of the water.
The water rippled softly, and she completely forgot her predicament.
The most poignant memories of her life were the excruciating pains from her illness, along with the woeful expressions of her parents and loved ones.
But in this moment, she could forget all her worries and appreciate the beauty of the world with the purest attitude.
She played with her own reflection, giggling with joy.
She felt that dying in the well like this wouldn’t be regrettable.
But…
It would probably be better if she could survive!
The starry sky seen from the well was already brilliant enough. How much more enticing would the sky outside be?
Little An Lan yearned to sprout wings and soar higher and higher into the sky.
The mountains surrounding the village had blocked her travels, and no one from the village had ever ventured far beyond.
From a young age, she dreamed of crossing those mountains.
However, that was just a dream. After all, how could a person ever have wings like a bird?
Little An Lan was tired.
She was still ill and lacked the strength for too much commotion.
As she leaned against the well wall, ready to rest, a rope was thrown down with a clattering sound.
The rope swung about.
No one appeared at the mouth of the well.
Little An Lan was already exhausted.
The strength rising within her allowed her to grasp the rope firmly.
She didn’t know where this strength came from, but she climbed the rope effortlessly.
A step.
Two steps.
She was far away from one starry sky, running toward another.
At last, she climbed out of the well.
At the moment she emerged, it seemed as though all the stars in the heavens were celebrating her.
The twinkling starlight connected to form a unified piece, illuminating the night sky more beautifully than any painting.
But little An Lan’s attention was not on the stars.
She stared blankly at the person floating by the well.
She couldn’t discern the features of that person.
“I can’t remember anymore,” An Lan said.
However, she remembered what the person had said.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
Little An Lan shook her head shyly and said, “No, I’m not afraid.”
“Why aren’t you afraid?”
Little An Lan pressed her chest and lowered her head slightly, “Because it feels warm.”
The well water was cold, but tonight it was warm, and tonight her chest was warm too.
The clear waves rippled gently.
Bai Lian asked, “Master, is that your master?”
An Lan nodded.
Bai Lian asked again, “Where did your master go afterward?”
An Lan shook her head. “I don’t know, she… suddenly disappeared.”
It seemed that this was not a particularly fulfilling tale.
Bai Lian didn’t delve further.
She feared that asking too much would cause her master pain.
She had made a breakthrough in her relationship with An Lan, but they weren’t yet at a level of complete openness.
Bai Lian lay down on the boulder, mimicking her master’s posture.
Is tonight’s starry sky the same as the one on that night?
As she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a chill creeping over her.
Cold.
Very cold.
Something was wrong.
Bai Lian became aware of the issue.
With her current cultivation level, she shouldn’t be feeling this cold.
Yet, she couldn’t control herself and began to tremble harder and harder.
She urgently needed warmth.
When the word “warm” leapt into her heart, she drowsily embraced An Lan, who was watching the stars beside her.
“Master, I…”
“Rebel, what are you doing?”
Suddenly attacked, An Lan let out a scream and tried to pry Bai Lian’s mischievous grip from underneath.
“I want to be closer to you!”
Although her hand was slapped away, Bai Lian persisted, attempting to get even closer to An Lan, even trying to lick her neck.
“Get away, get away, get away…”
An Lan disdainfully covered Bai Lian’s mouth, effortlessly subdued her, and in turn straddled her.
But she didn’t strike again.
Because she had discovered something strange.
“Where is the Taiyin Pillar?”
Did Bai Lian swallow the whole Taiyin Pillar?
“What have you done?”
Bai Lian couldn’t answer An Lan’s question.
She couldn’t answer now, and even if she could, she wouldn’t dare to say it.
[I have done “that” with the jade rabbit.]
Well.
If the master knew, she might beat her to death on the spot.
An Lan’s face changed repeatedly.
The Taiyin Pillar was a divine object from the immortal realm. Bai Lian, being mortal, had absorbed all its extreme Yin energy—of course, this would lead to problems.
Fortunately, An Lan was with Bai Lian now.
Otherwise, Bai Lian would have either frozen to death or become an insatiable being.
An Lan was still a little angry.
Why did she have to take care of Bai Lian when it was supposed to be her birthday?
She vented her frustration by poking Bai Lian’s lower abdomen with a finger and began stabilizing Bai Lian’s disrupted spirit Qi.
After a long while, Bai Lian, who had been writhing and causing ripples in the water, finally quieted down.
An Lan gazed upon the slumbering Bai Lian, removed her footwear, and pressed her foot against Bai Lian’s chest.
Anyway, Bai Lian wouldn’t wake up for a while.
Step on it, step on it, step on it again!
Bai Lian’s chest was nearly flattened under her foot.
She sat on Bai Lian’s belly again and began to twist her face, causing it to turn red.
The night was so long.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but Bai Lian slowly woke up.
Upon awakening, Bai Lian felt soreness in her lower back and spine, as if her entire body was on the verge of disintegration.
She opened her eyes and was startled to find her master’s face only an inch away from hers.
She only needed to move a bit to touch her master’s lips.
She lifted her head slightly and saw her master with her legs spread, straddling her waist, her upper body tightly pressed against hers, sleeping in an unsightly manner.
She noticed that her master had removed her shoes and socks, and two long socks hung from her feet.
She also noticed the pendant hanging on her master’s chest—replaced with the one she had given her.
“???”
Bai Lian was bewildered.
Is her waking posture not correct? What happened last night?
But isn’t this also quite good?
Bai Lian had no intentions of waking her master.
She closed her eyes, pretending to sleep, but in reality, just enjoying the peaceful morning.
What she didn’t know was that An Lan was pretending to be asleep too.
Finished.
I dare not wake up!
Should I let Bai Lian lose her memory during this period?
