Chapter 1561: Will You Be My Friend

An Lin was completely flabbergasted.

Never would he have thought that Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu would still be able to pick up a large rock to kill him even in her completely powerless state.

Once again, just how much did she hate him?!

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu had expended all of her remaining energy to hoist the rock into the air, and her tall and slender body was also falling toward An Lin, as if she was trying to add her weight to the rock.

An Lin looked on with a despairing expression as the rock expanded in his field of vision.

Was the mighty Heavenly Court War God going to be crushed by a mundane rock?

Upon seeing this, the Vermilion Bird Princess immediately flicked a finger through the air. A blast of energy was shot out, which instantly reduced the rock to dust. However, Lin Yu still fell upon An Lin as she was unable to arrest her downward momentum.

Thump.

“Ow…”

An Lin let loose a pained cry as Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu crashed into him.

Lin Yu lay on top of An Lin, and her forehead had struck An Lin’s chin, making him grimace with pain.

An Lin looked down to see Lin Yu raise her head to look up at him with a pair of eyes that were gradually becoming more and more dull and lifeless.

The two of them were well within reach of one another.

An Lin could clearly see the dirt and blood on Lin Yu’s gorgeous features.

He was very panicked. In such close quarters, Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu could do whatever she wanted to him!

He didn’t even have any energy to resist in his current state!

Lin Yu’s lips parted, and a disconsolate voice sounded.

“When you stare deep into the abyss…

“But the abyss ignores you…”

Lin Yu looked at An Lin, and her hands rested on his chest as she spoke in a soft voice.

An Lin’s lips twitched. What nonsense was she spouting this time?

Had Lin Yu gone insane?

A gentle smile appeared on Lin Yu’s face. “An Lin, will you be my friend?”

An Lin faltered again upon hearing this. What was the point of asking this question now?

However, he was painfully aware of his current situation, which was that Lin Yu’s body was on top of his and he was completely powerless. As such, he couldn’t afford to irk her, and he could only tell her what she wanted to hear.

“I… I will.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu’s expression froze on her face before tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed into An Lin’s chest. “That… that’s great… We still became friends in the end…

“I wanted to kill you and follow you to the afterlife, but who would have thought that we would be able to become friends even when we’re both still alive.”

A vibrant smile broke through Lin Yu’s sobs like a rainbow after the storm.

The dying light of dusk made her smile appear particularly beautiful and enchanting.

“An Lin, I’ll be waiting for you in death and eternal darkness.”

Her voice was like a light breeze, and An Lin was a little stunned by her captivating smile. He was then struck by the feeling that the weight on top of his body was slowly being lifted.

The woman sprawled on top of him gradually disintegrated into specks of white light before disappearing between heaven and earth.

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu no longer existed.

No one doubted that Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu had died.

Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief upon seeing this.

An Lin lay silently on the ground with a confused expression.

Lin Yu’s last words were very strange.

She was going to wait for him in death and eternal darkness? Was she trying to curse him?

An Lin was very confused, but he didn’t know who to ask.

“An Lin!” The Vermilion Bird Princess descended from the sky before cradling An Lin in her arms. “Are you alright?”

An Lin heaved a faint sigh. “Aside from the fact that I’m severely depleted, my bones and tendons have all shattered, my body has been torn apart, and my soul almost left my body, there’s nothing really wrong with me.”

Vermilion Bird Princess: “…”

The Vermilion Bird Princess fed An Lin an immortal pill with a sympathetic expression before running over to Xu Xiaolan and also picking her up from the ground.

“This feels like a really inconvenient arrangement.” It was quite difficult for the petite Vermilion Bird Princess to hold Xiaolan under her left arm and An Lin under her right arm, but there wasn’t really any alternative.

She looked around at the battlefield around her, and her eyes lit up slightly at the sight of the Blood Soul Jade Coffin in the distance.

Thump thump!

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were both tossed into the coffin.

A coffin lid was then placed on the coffin.

The Vermilion Bird Princess had glued the coffin lid back together using a spell technique, and she clapped her little hands together with a smile on her face. “The Blood Soul Jade Coffin can help you regenerate and can protect you at the same time. I repaired the coffin lid with a spell technique, so just made do with it for now!”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan looked up at the smug Vermilion Bird Princess with speechless expressions.

The Vermilion Bird Princess hoisted the coffin up from the ground before carrying it on her back. “Let me protect you two this time!”

An Lin recalled that he had been carrying Xiaolan in the coffin before.

Now, both of them were being carried in the coffin by the Vermilion Bird Princess.

Life really was full of surprises. Before he knew it, he had ended up in the same coffin as his wife.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were crammed up in the same coffin with their bodies pressed up against one another. They looked into each other’s eyes, and they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Pfft… This feels really weird…” A warm, amused smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s gorgeous features.

An Lin was also quite amused. “With this coffin, we can be together both in life and in death.”

Xu Xiaolan slapped An Lin’s chest with a hint of indignation rippling in her eyes. “Don’t say that. We’re going to live for countless years together!”

An Lin looked at the indignant beauty snuggled up against his body, and he couldn’t help but give her a peck on the nose.

“You… Can’t you settle down now that we’re in a coffin?” Xu Xiaolan blushed like a shy little girl, striking a stark contrast with the proud Divine Phoenix Maiden who dominated battlefields.

An Lin chuckled as a profound sense of elation welled up in his heart.

This familiar woman, her familiar scent, her familiar temperature.

All of it gave him an overwhelming sense of security and satisfaction.

The Vermilion Bird Princess was not very pleased. “Oi, can you two stop flirting with one another and be a little more considerate toward my feelings? I understand why Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu hated you two so much now! Hmph!”

Xu Xiaolan was feeling a little awkward.

An Lin’s buoyant smile remained unaffected.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Heavenly God Jordan had gotten an opportunity to catch his breath and recover from his injuries as the Celestial Thearch, Black Spirit Snake, and White Spirit Snake had run off to stop Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu.

It could be said that Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu’s sacrifice had given him the chance to launch a counterattack.

He was bathed in green divine light as an indifferent expression appeared on his face. “Lin Yu, let me avenge you.”
