Chapter 1488: Welcome, Teacher!

Xu Xiaolan’s expression finally eased slightly at the sight of the phoenix’s show of intimacy toward An Lin.

She took the golden tree branch from the phoenix’s beak before explaining to An Lin, “This is Phoenix Parasol Wood.”

An Lin’s eyes lit up. “Phoenix Parasol Wood? You mean like branches from the legendary Parasol Tree that phoenixes like to inhabit?”

Xu Xiaolan shook her head. “That’s a common misnomer. The phoenixes do not inhabit the Parasol Trees because they’re good trees. Instead, they become good trees because phoenixes frequent them.”

Everyone became curious upon hearing this.

Xu Xiaolan explained, “Little Huang often likes to sleep on Parasol Trees. Its excrement then adheres to the branches of the Parasol Trees and would be absorbed over time. As such, the Parasol Tree branches would then become spirit medicine imbued with extremely pure fire-type and wood-type powers.”

Everyone was quite impressed by this. “That sounds really cool!”

In contrast, An Lin’s lips twitched as he turned toward the regal phoenix in his arms. “So, Xiaolan, what you’re saying is, Little Huang is offering a branch to you, which has been nurtured by its own feces…”

Everyone: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

The phoenix’s tail feathers stood up on end!

Little Huang was just about to fight An Lin to the death when it was held back by Xu Xiaolan. “Calm down! There’s nothing wrong with what An Lin is saying, that is the fact of the matter after all…”

“Besides, your name is Little Huang, and many dogs are also named Little Huang. Dogs can eat their own poo, so why can’t you hold a branch fertilized by your own poo in your beak?” Xu Xiaolan consoled.

The phoenix: “???”

An Lin: “…”

Everyone turned toward the phoenix with astonishment and sympathy on their faces.

To their surprise, the phoenix accepted Xu Xiaolan’s words of “comfort” before sprawling onto the ground with a suicidal expression.

Everyone was even more sympathetic toward the phoenix upon seeing this…

An Lin was even more determined to learn from Xiaolan now.

Xu Xiaolan nodded lightly and proceeded to return to the room with the golden tree branch.

“Hold on a minute, Xiaolan! What are you doing with that thing? You’re not going to make Ye Ling eat it, are you?” An Lin spoke with a cautious expression. You’ll have to step over my dead body if you want to make my disciple eat shit!!!

Xu Xiaolan seemed to know what An Lin was thinking, and she burst into laughter. “What are you thinking? The Phoenix Parasol Wood is very effective for recovery. I’m just going to extract the life energy from within. Did you really think I was going to make our precious disciple gnaw on a tree branch?”

An Lin’s expression eased upon hearing this.

After Xiaolan left, he continued to look up at the stars.

He was then knocked off the balcony from behind by a certain phoenix…

Little Huang held grudges, and it was finally able to exact its revenge on An Lin now that Xiaolan was gone!

Nighttime in the Four Nine Immortal Sect was very peaceful.

Perhaps there were people sleeping or meditating, but there was definitely no one fighting.

Anyone who dared to cause a commotion at night would immediately be locked away in detention the next day.

However, An Lin and the phoenix were currently causing a massive commotion, and many sleeping or meditating disciples were roused as a result.

“What’s that sound?”

“Holy f*ck, what a brave warrior! Someone dares to fight in the Four Nine Immortal Sect at night?”

“Hahaha, they’re gonna get put into detention for sure! I’ll eat sh*t if they don’t get detained for over half a month!”

“Let’s go have a look!”

“Huh… It seems to have stopped?”

Just when all of the sect disciples wanted to go and spectate, the flames suddenly disappeared.

An Lin pant heavily as he lay on the ground with a charred hole on his robe, which was now revealing one of his scorched buttcheeks.

The phoenix lay on the ground like a dead chicken with feathers all over the ground and a few bruises on its head.

“Little Huang, I’m going to tell Xiaolan if you keep this up,” An Lin threatened with an enraged expression.

The phoenix shuddered and turned toward An Lin with a pitiable, beseeching expression. “Chirp…”

An Lin was a little curious. “By the way, why are you so afraid of Xiaolan? You’re the king of all birds, the mighty phoenix…”

The phoenix’s expression turned to one of sorrow and grief. “Chirp.”

“How did she discipline you to make you so obedient?” An Lin asked. He had to investigate this matter by listening to many different sources of information.

The phoenix looked like it was about to cry. “Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp…”

An Lin’s expression darkened. “Oi! I have no idea what the hell you’re saying!”

The phoenix sighed. “Chirp chirp?”

“Alright, I think I can roughly understand what you’re saying, but all of my beast pets are so adorable, I simply can’t bear to beat them up…” An Lin shook his head.

The phoenix: “???”

At this moment, a little fairy chuckled as she held onto strands of An Lin’s hair. “Giant An Lin, you won’t be able to beat me up even if you wanted to. I can immediately escape into the Divine Mirror World!”

An Lin knew that she was right. Tina was basically invulnerable now. If she encountered any danger, she would just hide in her Divine Mirror World. Even Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

Apparently, this little fairy had slain three Heaven Pioneer Stage Heavenly Human Tribe Great Generals, so she was very powerful.

“By the way, why are you still keeping your return to this world a secret? What are you plotting?” Tina asked.

The human race was slowly being forced back in the war, and the eastern front, western front, and the central front had all entered the territories of the Kingdom of the Nine States. Even following An Lin’s return, there was very little that he could do.

“Well…” An Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly with a smile. “I’m going to crush the Heavenly Human Tribe army on at least one front!”

Little Na and the phoenix’s mouths both gaped open upon hearing this.

What a bold proclamation!

Peace and quiet resumed.

The battles that An Lin had endured today were quite tiring, and An Lin also took a quick nap.

The next morning.

Chen Chen contacted him via voice transmission talisman, telling him that the Ancient Dragon Empress was almost there.

The Ancient Dragon Empress wore her colorful imperial robe as usual, and she soon tore open a spatial rift before emerging in front of the gates of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

She was then immediately given a fright by the welcome she received.

Over a thousand disciples and elders had gathered, giving her an extremely warm and raucous welcome.

The turtle duo was now holding hands together, unleashing a series of flame spell techniques into the sky as fireworks.

“We extend a warm welcome to the Ancient Dragon Empress, who is going to be our sect’s instructor!

“We are extremely thankful that the Ancient Dragon Empress is able to set aside past differences and bestow her expertise upon us for the sake of the greater good!

“Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, I love you!!!”

All of the disciples, elders, and pavilion lords yelled earnest and enthusiastic slogans at the same time.

The Ancient Dragon Empress almost sh*t herself as her eyes widened in shock.
