"Ah~ tui, you brat! Are you trying to get to spill my secrets again?"
Ao Wudi glared at Lin Fan, as if saying, "Do you think I’m an idiot?"
We’re not that close for to share my secrets with you. You really think Ao Wudi is stupid and just wasting his ti here, huh?
Lin Fan sighed, "Do you know why you’re trapped in matters of love? It’s because you refuse to listen to others. If you tell , I could actually analyze it for you."
"I believe you? As if! You’re sly and cunning! You think I, the great Ao Wudi, the proud dragon, am so stupid creature? Let tell you, the Sky Dragon Treasure Map of the Sky Dragon Clan can show the past and predict the future. It’s way more powerful than your amateur divinations." Ao Wudi wouldn’t believe Lin Fan unless his brain was completely fried.
Then.
Ao Wudi sat beside Lin Fan, his hands propping against the ground as he tilted his head back to gaze at the skies, then pointed to a distant star. "Kid, do you know what that is?"
"That’s a star, also known as a celestial body. Actually, those aren’t—" Lin Fan started to explain so astronomical knowledge but was promptly cut off.
"Ah~ tui, nonsense! That’s the Immortal Realm." Ao Wudi’s gaze turned profound as he raised his hand. "You can see it, but you can’t touch it. It seems so near, yet it’s as unreachable as the seas and heavens themselves."
Lin Fan rubbed his face. He couldn’t shake the feeling that this dragon had sprayed spit on him several tis already.
"Senior Long, could we... maybe stop with the ’tui’? I keep feeling like you’re spitting on my face."
Ao Wudi glanced at him, "Spit? If I really gave you my spit, you’d be grinning ear to ear. My spit is dragon saliva, you know! Many covet it yet can’t get it."
"Also, don’t call Senior Long. I am Ao Wudi - the invincible Ao Wudi. Doesn’t that sound domineering enough?"
Lin Fan replied, "It’s domineering, truly domineering. But honestly, you could actually talk to about it, and I could analyze it for you a bit."
Your story is my entertainnt.
The long night stretches ahead—boring, lonely.
Having a tale to hear, what more could I want?
"Alright, alright. All these years, I haven’t told anyone about this. Seeing that you’re an interesting kid, I’ll talk to you about it. Maybe you can help sort it out—I’ve pondered this for centuries and still can’t figure it out." Ao Wudi seed to be recalling a distant mory.
"This tale goes back thousands of years. Back then, my strength wasn’t as great as it is now. During a battle, I was injured and fled, eventually collapsing on a coastline unconscious."
"While unconscious, I felt a pair of gentle hands caressing my body. Very gentle, extrely gentle. That kind of feeling—you’ll never understand unless you’ve experienced it yourself."
"When I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful woman using a handkerchief to wipe my dragon horns. Can you imagine? One gaze and a thousand years passed in a heartbeat."
At this point.
Ao Wudi paused, slowly stroking his dragon horns. "It was just like that—gentle, very gentle."
Lin Fan shivered. This dragon seed sowhat... off.
Sinking into tenderness and unable to extricate himself?
"Senior Ao, eting you must’ve been a great fortune for that woman," Lin Fan remarked.
"Wrong. It was my fortune." Ao Wudi declared firmly. Never once had he considered that encountering soone outstanding like him would make others lucky.
Ao Wudi continued, "Kid, you’ll never understand. When you’re surrounded by countless flamboyant vixens coveting you, the appearance of soone special in your life—how intoxicating it is!"
Lin Fan silently mused, This dragon claims he’s not gaudy? With so many dragon maidens around him, he still chooses a human woman who ends up keeping him stuck in one place. Truly baffling.
"But a curious thing happened. I was deeply devoted to her, yet she told humans and beasts cannot be in love. She hadn’t prepared herself for such a relationship. I knew she misunderstood. I’m the royal crown prince of the Sky Dragon Clan, an emperor of the Demon Clan! How could she compare to inferior Demon Beasts?"
"But I figured she just needed more ti to think things through."
"Then the joyful days passed in the blink of an eye."
"I watched as she beca a True Immortal and prepared to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Before she left, she ca to and asked to guard the Ancient Immortal Sacred Land until I forgot her and could let go."
"But can I forget her? My love for her is steadfast and eternal. Not thousand years, nor ten thousand years could change it. I want to prove that to her—I shall not forget!"
With firm resolve, Ao Wudi spoke these words, beating his chest as he pledged in conviction.
Lin Fan blinked. A pitiful dragon indeed, yearning for an embrace. Though deeply devoted and sentintal, it seed his understanding might be slightly... off.
"With your strength, couldn’t you have ascended long ago? You could go to the Immortal Realm to find her." Lin Fan asked.
Ao Wudi replied, "That won’t do. Her request must be fulfilled. Besides, she said I should only leave when I no longer think of her. But how could I stop thinking of her? She’s soone I’ll cherish for a lifeti. Ascending? Utter nonsense."
Lin Fan felt Ao Wudi was simply too stubborn.
At the sa ti, he realized that major Immortal Sects never lacked troublemakers. Could Ao Wudi’s beloved have been genuinely unwilling or just making excuses before ascending to the Immortal Realm? Who would’ve guessed Ao Wudi would actually remain behind, waiting patiently?
To have a True Immortal Sky Dragon wait in misery for millennia, daily channeling Heavenly Dragon Spirit Qi to benefit the Immortal Sect disciples’ cultivation—what an unbelievable story.
A True Immortal-class Sky Dragon with unmatched combat prowess, not only with domineering mana but also a combat body that no one could rival.
"Kid, you’ve heard enough. You say you’re the Love Sage of the Taiwu Immortal Sect—what do you suggest?" Ao Wudi asked.
Lin Fan pondered before replying, "There are many issues. I’ve already analyzed them. Had you t thousands of years ago, the outco might’ve been very different."
"Ah~ tui, you brat! You’re talking nonsense again. Your strength? Thousands of years ago, who even knows where your ancestors were!" Ao Wudi cursed, his spit targeting the ground this ti. Yet, the nearby grasses eagerly absorbed the dragon saliva. Over ti, ordinary plants nurtured by dragon saliva could transform into Dragon Saliva Grass, treasured immortality artifacts.
"Alright, tell , where’s the problem?" Ao Wudi asked.
Lin Fan raised one finger. "First, your self-expression needs work. Referring to yourself as ’Old Man’ is crass—only uncultured folk self-title as ’Old Man.’ It’s not imposing at all. You should refer to yourself as ’This King’ or ’This Emperor,’ given your status as an emperor of the Demon Clan. The title must uphold your dignity and flair."
"Hmm, that does seem right. She did ntion this before, but I never managed to change the habit," Ao Wudi muttered as distant mories surfaced, filling him with regret.
Lin Fan raised a second finger. "Second, Senior Ao clearly cos across as a deeply sentintal person, yet there’s surely one fatal issue—you must’ve been clinging to her. And considering she ascended to the Immortal Realm early, wouldn’t Senior Ao often find himself facing closed doors during her extended seclusions?"
Ao Wudi froze, staring at Lin Fan. "Yes! So how did you know that? Are you really capable of seeing the past?"
Lin Fan chuckled, casually brushing off the claim. "If I lacked such basic insights, how could I call myself the Taiwu Immortal Sect’s Love Sage? It’s as I said—you t too late. Had I been there earlier, Senior Ao might’ve already been surrounded by children and grandchildren by now."
To Ao Wudi, Lin Fan appeared far more thoughtful now. Much of what he said matched the truth exactly.
Indeed, her closed-door cultivation had been frequent.
"Brat, I’ve told you many tis already. Whether your ancestors even existed back then is debatable—so how could I have t you?!" Ao Wudi grumbled, frustrated by the predicant.
Ah!
No use agonizing over it now.
Ao Wudi asked, "So what can be done about this now?"
"What’s to be done? It’s complicated. Too much ti has passed and circumstances change unpredictably. To resolve it, Senior Ao would have to ascend to the Immortal Realm himself," Lin Fan stated.
Ao Wudi shook his head. "Impossible. I can’t deceive my heart. I haven’t forgotten her."
Lin Fan grew exasperated. At this point, what more could he say? He could only keep silent.
Faced with soone so stubborn, he had no solution to offer.
"The falling flowers long for the flowing stream, but the stream cares not for the falling flowers," Lin Fan murmured wistfully.
Ao Wudi didn’t understand. "Kid, what does that an?"
Lin Fan gazed at Ao Wudi and shook his head. If previous concerns weren’t bad enough, there ca a third one—illiteracy.
He realized the odds of Ao Wudi ever winning this woman’s heart were slim to none.
Careless, free-spirited, prone to spitting, clingy, and worst of all—culturally clueless.
When emotions surged, Ao Wudi’s approach likely boiled down to:
Damn it! Passion! I’ll go easy this ti!
The two chatted casually.
Lin Fan learned several tidbits, including that Ao Wudi had been officially exiled by the Sky Dragon Clan—probably for thoroughly disgracing them. Guarding an Immortal Sect and channeling Heavenly Dragon Spirit Qi for thousands of years embarrassed the clan endlessly.
Ao Wudi’s father, the clan leader, had told him during his own ascension, "If you don’t return now, never return for the rest of your life. You’re no longer the Crown Prince of the Sky Dragon Clan."
To the unshakable Ao Wudi, his response had been, "So what? I’m pursuing happiness—you lot understand nothing!"
"Kid, you’ve cheered up quite a bit. But your physical strength is too poor. Cultivating in the Human Clan is tough—not only the final tribulations before ascension but even the smaller crises within the Three Calamities would be agonizing for you."
"Since you’ve shown kindness, I can’t be stingy."
"I’ll teach you a supre body-refining technique from the Sky Dragon Clan, but you must promise never to tell anyone I taught you. I don’t want to be labeled a traitor to the clan."
Before Lin Fan could respond that he wasn’t into body refinent, a sudden surge filled his mind.
"Ancestor Dragon Floating Body"
"Kid, give it your best. This supre body-refining technique is incredibly powerful. It was co-created by the Heavenly Dragon Ancestor and a Supre Great Power, focusing on building the body into a floating relic across nine heavens. Once you master it, even standing under a Heavenly Tribulation without moving wouldn’t harm you in the slightest."
"But you’re of the Human Clan. Reaching the highest level isn’t realistic—you’d be lucky to hit three or four heavens."
What Ao Wudi gifted was indeed a rare and unmatched technique of the Sky Dragon Clan.
Unrivaled across the ages.
Yet it was notoriously difficult to cultivate.
Even the Sky Dragon Clan had yet to produce anyone who mastered all nine heavens.
And certainly not a Human Clan cultivator lacking dragon bloodline.
