Chapter 14: Doing Bad Things Under the Watch of Martial Sister

The reason why An Lan firmly believed that Bai Lian had not completely left the East Divine Land was all due to the contract signed by Yu Ying and Bai Lian.

If Bai Lian had really gone far away to the Immortal World, given the special situation of the Land of Immortals, Yu Ying should find it difficult to sense her.

Since Yu Ying can still sense the presence of Bai Lian, it proves that Bai Lian is likely still in the East Divine Land!

Even if there is only a slight possibility, it is important to continue the search.

Time invested with purpose yields results – after searching for half-day, An Lan finally found Bai Lian in Tianfang town.

The long street remains, yet devoid of pedestrians and fruit stands.

The meeting place was unexpected for An Lan yet still within reason.

If Bai Lian wished to depart from the East Divine Land and simply find a place to undergo her Guafeng Disaster, making her journey here unnecessary.

However, she still came.

What surprised An Lan even more was when Bai Lian mentioned she was returning home – was Tianfang Town her home all along?

It started where it ended.

"We always have such a high degree of agreement in our thoughts."

An Lan quickly wiped away all the smile on her face.

This is not romantic at all!

With the raging winds and the arrival of the Guafeng Disaster, Bai Lian has taken the first step towards the Immortal World.

Stop her, we must stop her at all costs!

After calling out to Bai Lian, An Lan directly used her ultimate move and said, "If you persist in going to the Immortal World, I will immediately induce my Guafeng Disaster and go with you to see Red Dust!"

She made a gesture as if to rush into the midst of the raging wind.

Bai Lian’s dress fluttered up and down at this moment, making her look infinitely more gorgeous than a white butterfly even when she stood still in the air.

She seemed to have not heard An Lan’s words, still immersed in her own world.

A thin mist rose in the spring rain, adding some haziness and unreality to this vast world.

An Lan gritted her teeth with force.

There could be no more hesitation!

When she was stopped by Red Dust while being heavily injured, she had only the strength to protect herself, but she could have decisively sacrificed her life to avoid angering Red Dust and causing more suffering to Bai Lian.

Now, in consideration of Bai Lian’s life, she can equally disregard her own life.

Is it not just a Guafeng Disaster to be overcome?

Is it not just being crushed by Red Dust’s wheels tens of thousands of times later on?

Having experienced everything once, there is nothing to be afraid of!

The moon-white light flowed on An Lan’s snowy skin, as she raised her hands, gently breaking the temporary fence woven by the "Nest Wind" with her ten fingers.

And just as An Lan was about to step in, a faint voice suddenly sounded, "Master, now is not the time to be willful."

An Lan became angry like a white tiger that had been touched on its butt, and she said, "Willful? How dare you accuse me of being willful? I believe that it is you who is truly willful! You show no respect for authority, betray your master and ancestors, violate the law, disregard moral principles, scheme and act with excess greed… You, this rebellious person who is so incompetent, also wants to take charge alone? You better come out and face my punishment, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the mountain!"

She talked so much that she completely drowned out Bai Lian’s words.

Even though she was shaking with anger all over her body, with her hands on her hips, she didn’t do anything further.

Bai Lian waited until she was finished speaking to explain, "If Master forces her way in, there will be two people enduring the Guafeng Disaster. If we want to stop it afterwards, the cost will be more than ten times higher."

An Lan sneered, "Do you think that just because I am here watching you, you can smoothly endure the disaster? Hah… huh?"

She suddenly froze.

"Did you just say that you want to terminate the Guafeng Disaster?"

"Yes."

Bai Lian replied.

In fact, she had made such a decision before An Lan arrived.

When Guafeng was about to pass through the gate and enter her mind, she was struck by something and plunged into extreme conflict.

She was eager to end everything now, but when she thought of the price she would have to pay, she suddenly became afraid again.

Is all of this worth it?

Even if she sees Red Dust, she cannot guarantee that she can end this endless cycle.

In fact, since the day she separated from Red Dust, she had no idea what Red Dust was thinking.

The thousands of years apart had turned them into completely different people.

Different people naturally have different pursuits.

She had always cared only about what she wanted, without seriously considering what Red Dust wanted.

Perhaps it was this difference that made the already unfamiliar two of them farther and farther.

Is she the only one that Red Dust wants?

If so, trying to persuade Red Dust to release Master and Martial Sisters by sacrificing herself is likely to be ineffective.

[I already have the fable in my hand, why bother about a few small insects? Just crush them!]

In order to prevent lingering attachments in the future, let’s kill them all now.

With Red Dust’s strength, there is no need to fear her tantrums. Even if she wants to make trouble, there is no way for her to do so.

If Red Dust wants more and she charges ahead unprepared, isn’t she essentially sacrificing herself?

We can’t just leave it like this.

After all is said and done, Bai Lian knows that the real reason is because she is scared.

She has been hesitant all along. Otherwise, she would have caused the Guafeng Disaster when leaving Mount Sanwei and would not have had to go through Castle Peak City, Gray Wind Town, and end up in Tianfang Town again.

This is where she reunites with her master.

Did she come here, secretly hoping that her master would find her again?

Her hopes were not in vain!

An Lan really came, only a little later than when she decided to do so herself.

The slight delay is fully understandable.

When couples make plans to go shopping together, isn’t it common for one party to wait for the other?

The wild wind that blew sand and stones everywhere gradually subsided.

After a long time, the thin mist pervading the air dissipated into invisibility.

Bai Lian’s body trembled lightly until the blood color that suddenly appeared on her face faded away, and everything returned to calm.

"Okay."

Bai Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

It was at this moment that a drop of blood slipped from the corner of her mouth.

The ruby-like droplet of blood rolled down onto her collar, bounced once, and continued its descent until it finally fell from her toes, which were painted with an icy blue nail polish, and landed in the wilderness.

A drop of blood, a brand new spring.

An amazing scene appeared!

The fragrant grass swayed gracefully, its figure shaking like a charming dancer.

Then, the purple flowers on the grass happily bloomed, not caring to display their body in front of strangers.

The clusters of flowers were like a small piece of starry sky on the ground.

Bai Lian wiped the blood clean with the back of her hand, and then lightly landed on her toes, falling precisely into the flower bushes.

"Master."

She smiled slightly.

It was, however, an utterly beautiful painting.

Yet, An Lan had absolutely no time to focus on these matters now. She walked over angrily, rolling up her sleeves as she went.

When she stood in front of Bai Lian, she raised her right hand high and then brought it down heavily.

Bang!

This scene made Bai Lian feel particularly familiar.

Yes, the last time she went to Yaochi Holy Mountain, her master did the same thing.

However, this time her master’s action was much more intense. Her master suddenly pressed down on her shoulder with a furious expression.

"Don’t move!"

"I didn’t move."

Bai Lian’s body didn’t sway at all.

An Lan extended her index and middle fingers, gently wiped away the traces left by the rolling blood drops under her chin, and then let go.

"It wasn’t wiped clean before, but now it is."

"…"

Although the movements of her hands were surprisingly gentle, An Lan’s anger on her face didn’t diminish at all.

"Why don’t you tell me how many times you’ve done something like this?"

This…

Bai Lian said, "Let me count one…"

"Stupid!" An Lan interrupted Bai Lian without hesitation, "You came here to see Red Dust, do you really think seeing her will solve everything? Dream on!"

Bai Lian’s mouth was slightly open, surprised.

"Master, you already know?"

No.

Actually, there’s no need to be so surprised.

If the master hadn’t recalled the past, she wouldn’t have found her way here, right?

"What do you think?"

An Lan gave Bai Lian a cold glance. She yearned to press Bai Lian down and assert her own authority as a master.

Whenever she reminisced about the time in the Immortal World, Bai Lian was still the true master to her, and she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Everything is a mess! Relationships are all f*cked up!

This conundrum left her unsure of how to proceed with Bai Lian and what form their relationship should take, even after calming down. All she could do was keep a fierce expression.

But she really didn’t want to be angry now.

The hanging heart almost fell, she just wanted to hold Bai Lian, feel her body temperature, and confirm that all of this was not a dream.

Just then, a fragrant breeze blew over.

Before An Lan could regain consciousness, she found herself being hugged tightly by Bai Lian. Her delicate hand gently pressed against her back, pushing her entire body down into the valley.

Two parts softness mixed with a hint of warmth.

An Lan struggled hard to get up.

Bai Lian said straightforwardly, "Master, we’ve done everything we can between us. What’s there to be embarrassed about?"

An Lan hesitated for a moment and then stopped struggling.

It wasn’t quite what she had imagined, but she knew that this reality was even more enchanting than any dream.

"Master, I have something to ask you."

"Go on."

An Lan’s voice was extremely muffled.

"If you knew that I died at the hands of Red Dust, what would you do?"

"Go find Red Dust and fight her with all my might."

"Alone?"

"Alone."

"If the Martial Sisters knew the truth, they would probably also go to fight Red Dust with all their might."

"Likely."

"It feels like a bunch of fools, rushing to deliver themselves to Red Dust."

"Do you know that you are foolish?"

"Actually, it’s more about fear."

"?"

An Lan took a deep breath, feeling the seamless connection with her master, which erased all her anxieties.

"Just the thought of such a thing happening made me go all out and put an end to the Guafeng Disaster that had just begun."

Fortunately, her power had long surpassed that of most immortals, otherwise, when this disaster comes, she would have to sacrifice her own life to send it away.

An Lan looked up and asked, "How badly are you hurt?"

Bai Lian smiled and said, "It’s not serious."

It was just a slight damage to the soul. Compared with the risk of meeting Red Dust, it was really not a serious injury, just needed some rest and recovery.

"That’s good."

An Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Pausing for a moment, she asked again, "Will you stay in the East Divine Land forever? I think it’s not bad, not crossing to the Other Shore, not achieving eternal life. Rather than living for tens of thousands of years in emptiness, it’s better to live a few hundred years to the fullest with me, you…and your several Martial Sisters, Yan Yue, Yaoguang, Xu Li, Si Yunshang…with so many people together, we would never feel bored. Plus, you have divine objects in your hands. As long as you retain your memories and invest them in the next cycle of reincarnation, these hundreds of years can be extended to thousands, even tens of thousands of years."

Bai Lian shook her head with a sigh, "What I want is to live for tens of thousands of years to the fullest."

After a moment of silence, An Lan said, "It’s not easy and you are more likely to end up dead than fulfilled."

Bai Lian replied in a low voice, "I know."

An Lan said, "The Bai Lian in our memories is completely different."

Bai Lian hurriedly explained, "Having experienced so many reincarnations, it is inevitable for things to change. Even if I erase my own memories, those changes will still have an unintentional impact on the choices I make."

An Lan shook her head. "You don’t have to be nervous, I am also constantly changing. As long as you are still Bai Lian, that’s good. And if you don’t become like this, how can we become true companions in the true sense of the word?"

Bai Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that her master would continue to hold her.

Her master was a bit stubborn, but once things were made clear, she would "smash the pot and break the jar," and do anything "cruel."

She had only recently locked Yan Yue in the cabinet.

If she progressed further one day, she could move Yan Yue out of the cabinet and do bad things in front of her.

"Let’s not talk about that for now. Since we rarely come here, shall we go for a walk?"

After a while, An Lan suddenly proposed.

Bai Lian eagerly accepted.

The two of them held hands and walked towards the spot where the fruit stall was placed.

There was no fruit stall there anymore, but standing there, time seemed to suddenly flow backwards.

The bright moon went down in the east, the red sun rose in the west, and the verdant trees returned to withered state.

Reincarnation.

Reincarnation, over and over again.

Finally returned to the moment when Bai Lian first arrived at the fruit stand.

At that time, the street was crowded with pedestrians, she stood in front of the fruit stand in a daze, with only one thought in her mind –

[What the hell, I’ve time-traveled!]

Then she became flustered.

If one could time travel, could they possibly become invincible and superior to others?

Very difficult indeed!

Overwhelmed with such emotions, she faced the new world bewildered.

Meanwhile, An Lan was leisurely strolling outside.

Though she had done similar things before, this time was different. A sudden thought emerged in her mind that if she walked in a certain direction, something that would make her very happy would happen.

She pondered deeply and then she encountered Bai Lian.

The two looked into each other’s eyes and understood.

One desired a disciple, the other a master- they immediately agreed without any hesitation.

Upon reflection, this is the fate that years of companionship have brought.

Though the streets were deserted, Bai Lian noticed a fruit stand with few customers. An Lan stood by her side, silently gazing ahead.

After a while, they sat shoulder to shoulder on the rooftop, gazing at the moon.

At this moment, Xiao Jinse and the others finally arrived.

They wanted to be fast, but how could they be faster than An Lan with all her firepower turned on?

Even the strongest Yu Ying has only just touched the threshold of becoming a human immortal.

They ran to the Tianfang Town. Before they could stand firmly on their feet, Xiao Jinse, who was at the front, screamed.

"Ah?"

Halfway through her shout, Xiao Jinse quickly covered her mouth.

"What happened?"

Su Youwei and the others quickly walked forward, following Xiao Jinse’s pointing finger.

They saw Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian and their master stood closely together on the roof, not leaving any gap between them. Looking down, they also noticed that their hands were tightly held together.

Can we say they are just friends?

However…

Are Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian and their master lovers?

(〃ﾟAﾟ)(´ﾟдﾟ`)

Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei exchanged a glance.

Perhaps, approximately, or possibly they just misunderstood?

No one dared to release their Divine Sense to investigate directly. Their Master and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian both had a remarkable cultivation base, and it was impossible for them to avoid their perceptions.

Therefore.

They never expected An Lan’s hand to misbehave at this time.

"Ah?" Bai Lian, who was under attack, was confused. "Master, the Martial Sisters are behind us."

An Lan whispered, "I know. Anyway, they can’t see our faces. Don’t worry."

How can we possibly feel relieved about this?

We were enjoying the moonlight in peace. Even though the atmosphere was perfect, This…

An Lan said, "It doesn’t matter if they see us. It will save us the trouble of explaining our relationship to them."

"…"

"I remember when Yan Yue was there, you were very excited, weren’t you?"

"Hmm…"

Bai Lian could not argue and in fact, she was now even more excited.

An Lan laughed, "If they really find out, I’ll just let them have it…"

She began to vividly describe.

She also added, "Are you truly afraid?"

Bai Lian gritted her teeth.

Inciting method?

Afraid? Would someone who wants to build a big bed be afraid of this?

She immediately took the upper hand, used her hands and feet, and completed the misdeed thoroughly!
