Chapter 1431: Xu Xiaolan’s Opinion

“An Lin, what will it take for you to help us?” Shangguan Yi had tears shimmering in her eyes. “Tell us. We’ll do our best to satisfy you.”

An Lin fell into silence again as he stared at the crystal in his hand.

“Alright, I can help you…” He heaved a faint sigh.

All of the snow maidens were ecstatic upon hearing this.

“However, I have to seek someone’s opinion, and I’ll only go if she agrees to let me go,” An Lin said with a firm expression.

Shangguan Yi’s heart jolted with shock. Who could this person be? Could this be some obscure mighty figure who was pulling the strings behind the scenes?

“Wait here for me.” An Lin departed.

“Alright.” Shangguan Yi nodded obediently.

Within the main building of the Flame Pavilion.

“Hehehe… Xiaolan, what do you think?” An Lin asked with a fawning expression.

A disconsolate expression appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. “Who would have thought that Sister Shangguan Yi would be the Ice Matriarch of the snow maidens. Everything is irreversible now. We are destined to be people walking on two different paths…”

There were many things in this world that could take people further and further away from one another. Sometimes, these things were irreversible and would continue to take them further down two diverging paths…

An Lin smiled. “That’s not necessarily the case. They can agree to any condition I raise, so why don’t I just ask Sister Shangguan Yi to come back to the Vermilion Bird Sect?”

“They can agree to anything you ask?” Xu Xiaolan felt like that was not necessarily a good thing.

An Lin knew what she was thinking and hurriedly offered words of reassurance, “I won’t make them do anything out of line. I’ll just make them swear dao heart vows to never harm the human race again, then use them as forces to fight for us…”

Xu Xiaolan nodded with a forlorn sight. “Alright. But don’t force Sister Shangguan Yi into anything. I don’t want to make her do something she doesn’t want to do.”

“Does that mean you agree, Xiaolan?” An Lin asked with an excited expression.

Xu Xiaolan poked a finger at An Lin’s forehead. “You better not take advantage of all of those obedient snow maidens!”

An Lin said with a serious expression, “Xiaolan, don’t you know what kind of person I am?”

“How would I know what kind of person you are when you’re not with me?” Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips.

“By the way, if you can’t beat this enemy, then just run away.” She suddenly gripped tightly onto An Lin’s hands with an earnest expression. “You’re much more important to me than the entire snow maiden race or even Sister Shangguan Yi.”

Xu Xiaolan didn’t want to allow An Lin to go into battle against that strange living being. She knew what that living being entailed. That was an opponent of the same caliber as the Heavenly Wind God! Just the Heavenly Wind God was almost enough to destroy the entire Heavenly Court!

If it wasn’t for the fact that this was related to the safety of the entire human race and An Lin possessed some sort of power that could combat those types of living beings, she wouldn’t let him go and take the risk no matter what.

An Lin was quite touched by Xu Xiaolan’s concern, and he gave her a reassuring kiss on the forehead. “Don’t worry. I’ll run away if things are not going well. I’ll be sure to prioritize my own safety above all else!”

Xu Xiaolan’s expression eased slightly, and she nodded upon hearing this.

After obtaining Xu Xiaolan’s approval, An Lin contacted the Celestial Thearch through a voice transmission and told him about the situation.

The Celestial Thearch had no problems with his proposed course of action. However, he demanded the right to detain and punish some of the snow maiden powerful beings who had participated in battles with the human race in return.

An Lin relayed the Celestial Thearch’s condition to Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi immediately agreed to this condition.

Thus, An Lin had formed a temporary alliance with the snow maidens!

The snow maidens present all broke down into tears as if they had completed some sort of important mission. An Lin immediately told them to stop crying. Otherwise, it was quite easy for passersby to misunderstand and think that he was doing something out of line to these snow maidens.

“An Lin, are you not going to keep my Ice Matriarch heart?” Shangguan Yi cupped an extremely dreamy and intricate ice crystal in her hands as she looked up at An Lin with her golden eyes. “With this Ice Matriarch heart, no snow maiden will dare to cross you.”

An Lin shook his head with a smile. “Making all of you swear dao heart vows will have the same effect. Besides, I don’t have a habit of accepting the hearts of others. All I need is Xiaolan’s heart.”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yi faltered slightly before a vibrant smile as beautiful as a snow lotus appeared on her face.

She looked at An Lin with anticipation in her eyes. “So you’re together with Sister Xiaolan now. I will give you my wholehearted blessings. I really hope I can live to see your wedding.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve promised to help you, so I’ll do my best to keep all of you alive.” An Lin nodded with an earnest expression. “Let’s go.”

This time, he didn’t take anyone with him. After all, this was an enemy even Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures had no chance against, so there was no point in calling up anyone else.

Right at this moment, another spatial rift appeared in the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

A graceful man in a golden and white imperial robe emerged from the spatial rift with a warm smile on his face. “Mr. An Lin, I’ll come with you.”

“Celestial Thearch, why are you here?!” An Lin exclaimed.

Shangguan Yi and the snow maidens all extended respectful bows.

“Haha, I want to collect some data. You know my other identity. I have to see through some things in order to help me with my mission.” The Celestial Thearch chuckled.

An Lin immediately understood upon seeing this.

Shangguan Yi and the others didn’t dare to object to this. In other words, there was not enough time for them to argue.

Thus, An Lin, the Celestial Thearch, and the snow maidens tore through space and traveled all the way to the border of the Holy Glacial Lands and the Opposite Shore Realm.

This was where the snow maidens were currently inhabiting and also the place where abnormal incidents were taking place.

“By the way, Xue Zhantian seems to still be in the Holy Glacial Lands. I wonder how he’s going.” An Lin was a little concerned about his adorable beast pet.

The Holy Glacial Lands was not a pleasant place to be in at the moment. The environment there was extremely harsh, and the entire place was fraught with peril. Even most of the Return to Void Stage mighty figures of the Tai Chu Continent were quite wary of that place.

At this moment, somewhere in the Holy Glacial Lands.

“Waah, Big Sister Dragon, I’m just a lonely little furball with no one to rely on and no one to take care of me. Please take me under your wing.” A furry creature with large, rippling eyes flapped its little wings and dove into the woman’s chest.

“You have a master! I can sense the contract power within your body, so stop bothering me!” The beautiful woman with crimson eyes plucked the furball from her chest with an angry expression. “I’m going to hit you if you keep this up!”

Her Dragon Tribe entourage immediately objected upon hearing this.

“Ancient Dragon Empress, please don’t hurt it! Why would you hurt such an adorable thing?!”
