Chapter 1953: I’m Back

An Lin felt like he was dreaming.

He had just returned to the Four Nine Immortal Sect and was planning to do some flexing.

However, an incredibly beautiful young woman suddenly walked up to him and uttered some profound words before successfully integrating her dao.

He was initially quite confused, but a genuine smile of elation appeared on his face upon seeing Xiao Hong successfully transcend her tribulation to the Dao Integration Stage. “Congratulations, Xiao Hong!”

“Heehee, welcome back, Master.” Xiao Hong blinked her seductive eyes with a charming smile on her face.

She extended a soft, slender hand.

An Lin held onto her hand, and the two of them descended toward the ground together.

“Who’s the little girl sitting on your shoulders?” Xiao Hong asked.

“She’s Xiaolan. Do you not recognize her?” An Lin smiled.

Xiao Hong’s expression stiffened as she turned toward the angelic little girl.

Little Xiaolan had her elbows on An Lin’s head with her hands supporting her chin as she turned toward Xiao Hong with a dainty smile. “Xiao Hong, congratulations on successfully integrating your dao. I’m glad I didn’t miss such a monumental occasion.”

“Hehe… Welcome back, Big Sister Xiaolan.” Xiao Hong smiled.

An Lin’s return shocked the entire Four Nine Immortal Sect.

The spunk!

The timing!

“Welcome back, Sect Leader An Lin!”

All of the disciples began to chant in unison without the need for any guidance.

“Master!” A vibrant smile appeared on Ye Ling’s face.

“Big Brother An, I knew you’d be fine! Woof!” Da Bai whooped with excitement.

Xue Zhantian also flapped his little wings and offered praise to An Lin.

The entire grasslands were transformed into a sea of joy.

Xiao Hong had successfully transcended her tribulation, and their sect leader was back, what a joyous occasion!

Their pillar was back.

An Lin had already won over the entire Four Nine Immortal Sect with his legendary feats, and he was regarded by everyone as the pillar of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

Su Qianyun looked up into the sky with a blank expression. “Those birds in the sky look so much like the Vermilion Bird. Who are they?”

This was a question everyone had.

The living beings in the sky were all basking in their respective holy flames and were clearly no ordinary creatures.

“They don’t just look like Vermilion Birds, they ARE Vermilion Birds!” An Lin smiled, “They’re the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures we recruited from the Vermilion Bird Tribe territory. There are six at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage and three at the Dao Integration Intermediate Stage, and they’re going to be joining our sect’s Flame Pavilion.”

Boom!

Everyone felt as if they had just been struck by bolts of lightning.

Xiao Ze drew a sharp intake of breath. “No wonder I can’t detect the cultivation bases of these Vermilion Birds, even the weakest ones among them are at the Dao Integration Intermediate Stage?”

Xiao Tu was also astonished. “All of them are joining the Flame Pavilion? With Xiaolan and phoenix Little Huang… that means that there will be eleven Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in one pavilion! Holy sh*t…”

All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect disciples were shocked beyond belief.

Many of them were beginning to suspect that they were dreaming.

What the hell was going on?

Nine new Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures suddenly joined our sect?

Were there even that many Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in the Kingdom of the Nine States?!

Were they going to defy the natural order?!

Bai Ling chuckled with nonchalance. “An Lin is always bringing back strange things from his travels, and this time is no exception. With these nine Dao Integration Stage Vermilion Birds, phoenix Little Huang won’t be lonely anymore.”

Phoenix Little Huang was already trembling uncontrollably.

It could sense enormous bloodline pressure from above.

The gorgeous Bing Xin had entranced Little Huang, but Bing Xing detected his scorching gaze and aimed a cold glare at him in response, striking Little Huang with a crushing sense of inferiority.

“Classmate An Lin, what did you do this time? And how did you recruit these nine Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures?” Xuanyuan Cheng asked.

“Please tell us! I love hearing about your adventures, woof!” Da Bai ran elated circles around An Lin before a sly grin appeared on his face. “And how did Xiaolan transform into an adorable loli? Is this some kind of special fetish? Woof!”

Little Xiaolan raised her eyebrows and placed her hands on her hips. “What are you trying to say, Da Bai? Do you think you can push me around just because I’m small now?”

All of the disciples could feel their hearts melting at the sight of such a small and adorable Xu Xiaolan.

None of them said anything, but all of them were yelling in unison internally, So adorable!

Look at those holy, gorgeous features, and those eyes that were even more enticing than the most flawless artistic masterpiece.

She was a little Celestial Maiden!

Everyone really wanted to hug her and pinch her delectable little cheeks!

Da Bai ran over to An Lin and wiggled his body as he stuck out his tongue in a wide grin. “Xiaolan, do you want to ride me? All little girls like riding big doggies, right? Come on and ride me to your heart’s content, woof!”

Little Xiaolan: “…”

An Lin: “…”

“If you rephrase yourself, I would actually be interested.” Little Xiaolan looked at Da Bai’s “seductive” display with a disdainful expression.

“Your Majesty Xiaolan, may I have the honor of becoming your steed? Woof!” Da Bai rephrased himself as instructed.

If there was one hobby that Da Bai had, then it was being ridden by girls.

Little Xiaolan had ridden An Lin for quite a while now and riding Da Bai would be a pleasant change of pace.

Since she reverted back to this child form, her heart had also regressed back to a child’s heart. As such, she was quite tempted to ride such an adorable dog.

Little Xiaolan leaped into the air before gently landing on Da Bai’s back and grabbing little fistfuls of his fur. “Go!”

Da Bai began galloping over the grasslands.

The tinkling laughter of a little girl echoed throughout the grasslands.

Everyone sighed with emotion as they looked on at this heartwarming scene.

Initially, everyone was finding it a little strange to accept the fact that their stand-in sect leader had become a little girl. However, having such an adorable stand-in sect leader didn’t seem so bad after all.

The nine Vermilion Birds descended from the sky and shrank to about ten feet in size, but they were still just as proud as ever.

However, for some reason, no one felt like this attitude was out of place.

In their minds, such powerful and beautiful Vermilion Birds should be proud and haughty.

However, all of them were extremely shocked by the behaviors demonstrated by these nine high and mighty Vermilion Birds when Little Xiaolan began riding Da Bai. The arrogant Vermilion Birds all knelt to the ground and spoke in extremely respectful voices.

“Great Empress Vermilion Bird, do take care!”

“Great Empress Vermilion Bird, why don’t you ride me instead?”

“Where are the Great Empress’ enemies? We’ll set off right now to destroy them!”

…

All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect elders and disciples looked on with dumbstruck expressions at the fawning Vermilion Birds.

Where did their pride go?!
