"Oh? Is Daoist Sui Feng going out?" Lin Xuance held a white piece and kept his gaze on the chessboard as he casually asked.
"That’s right, I’m planning to go to Canglin State." Xiao Jie nodded, "Long Xingtianxia has now taken Longhua State, commanding three states, and its influence has greatly increased. However, it’s still far from unifying the Nine States. The next target is Canglin State. The State Governor of Canglin State, Master Xiao Yue, is an old acquaintance of mine. Currently, Canglin State is under a fierce attack from the Demon Star Tower, and the situation is dire. In my judgnt, if we can assist Master Xiao Yue in repelling the Demon Star Tower and resolve the crisis in Canglin State, we stand a good chance of persuading her to lead Canglin State in joining Dragon Soaring Country."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuance placed his chess piece down and nodded, "That is indeed good. If we can take another state without bloodshed, it would certainly be a good strategic move to stabilize the Nine States quickly and accumulate ’human path’ fortune to face the great calamity. So we’ll trouble Daoist Sui Feng to handle this matter. anwhile, we’ll stay here and continue to teach those disciples, strengthening their foundations."
Xiao Jie thought to himself, "As expected." He realized that these Immortals from Gu Yun State were more like strategic deterrents and ntors, only stepping in at critical plot points. All these specific tasks, the running around and hard work, ultimately fall to him, the "Player Immortal."
Even though he was an Immortal living freely outside the mortal realm, he found himself playing the role of a jack-of-all-trades, coordinating and putting out fires everywhere. Xiao Jie couldn’t help but mock himself. Fortunately, he had An Ran, his confidante, by his side. With her, the journey was filled with laughter and conversation, making it feel more like traveling with a girlfriend through the mountains and rivers on a unique celestial journey together.
"No need to be polite, it’s all for saving the countless lives across the world. A little running around, what does it matter?" Xiao Jie maintained a light and easy smile on his face.
With that, he took An Ran’s hand, and with a slight thought, clouds gathered beneath their feet to support them as they slowly ascended. Their clothes fluttered like celestial companions in a painting, gracefully flying toward Canglin State.
High above the clouds, the view was extrely wide. The mountains and rivers below sped past like a painting.
Holding An Ran by the waist, Xiao Jie felt the breeze on his face and began to recount how, just yesterday outside Longhua City, he transford into a White Dragon to battle the Supre Emperor transford into a Golden Dragon. Using Immortal techniques, he toyed with the opponent and finally convinced both sides with benevolence, leading to the rger of Dragon Soaring and Ritian.
"Wow! That’s so cool!" An Ran listened, amazed, clinging tightly to his arm, her face full of admiration and excitent. "What a pity I wasn’t there to see it."
"It’s a pity that in reality, everything’s calm, and no one cos to cause trouble," Xiao Jie said with a hint of regret. "Otherwise, I could’ve experienced the feeling of Immortal Law descending on the mortal realm, giving a light punishnt as a warning."
"Why wait for them to co and bother you?" An Ran pursed her lips, as if it was only natural. "You’re an Immortal! Free and unfettered. If soone annoys you, or if you want to know sothing, go straight to find their ’trouble,’ right? Why wait?"
Xiao Jie was slightly taken aback by this, then smiled: "You’re right, it seems... that’s indeed the truth." He was habitually thinking with a mortal’s mindset, not causing trouble unless necessary, only wanting to teach a lesson if soone dared to provoke him. However, thinking about his current strength, what does it matter to cause a little trouble?
Just like the woman who frad him at the Pantheon, she should have been properly dealt with.
"Of course!" An Ran said excitedly, clenching her fists, "If I had beco an Immortal, those who’ve offended wouldn’t stand a chance!"
Xiao Jie smiled as he watched An Ran feign ferocity.
"What are you looking at?" An Ran felt a little embarrassed under his gaze and lightly punched him.
"You’re really beautiful," Xiao Jie whispered in An Ran’s ear.
In reality, An Ran was already a slender, tall, and elegant beauty. After her rebirth into the Ga World, her physical data had been sowhat gamified, closer to an ideal perfect form. Her skin was as smooth as jade, seemingly flawless, with delicate features radiating the dreamy beauty unique to virtual characters.
She had an explosively good figure, and her tight leather armor couldn’t hide her curvaceous body.
At this mont, Xiao Jie looked at the charming deanor of the beauty in his arms, slled the faint fragrance from her hair, and felt the warmth of her soft body leaning on him. His heart couldn’t help but sway again. Certain thoughts, just cald down, began to stir restlessly once more.
"Of course!" An Ran proudly raised her chin, then, as if sensing sothing, blushed slightly, glanced at Xiao Jie with a provocative smile, "You... are very handso too."
Upon the clouds, the breeze seed to carry a hint of ambiguity. Xiao Jie lowered his head, capturing those enticing lips again, deeper and more tender than before.
An Ran didn’t resist, actively wrapping her arms around his neck. The clouds were epheral, shrouding everything above and below. Only the faint gasps and the rustle of clothes broke through the wind. After a while, even the clouds seed tinged with a shade of red, and they parted only slightly apart, breathing unevenly. The love in their eyes deepened, but knowing that important matters awaited, they held each other close and continued their journey.
