I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Outside of the core region of the Five-Colored Lightning Pit.

A divine cow with one eye and one leg was already connecting voice transmissions.

“Hello, is this Pavilion Lord Bai Ling of the Four Nine Immortal Sect? I’m Kui of the Mythological Beast Sect. Your sect leader has perished within our sect’s Five-Colored Lightning Pit, please make preparations for his funeral.

“Hmm… That’s right, even though I didn’t see it with my own eyes, he is most likely dead.

“What?! You say I’m spouting nonsense? I’m a mighty mythological beast, why would I lie to you? Your sect leader won’t die? Hmph! Fine then, believe what you want!”

Kui cut off the voice transmission with an enraged expression before connecting to another voice transmission.

“Hello, is this Mr. Eternal Sun God from the Sun Tree? I’m Kui. I’m very sorry to inform you that your Sun Tree’s Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird has perished in our sect’s Five-Colored Lightning Pit. Please make preparations for her funeral.

“Of course it’s true! Why would I lie to you about something like this? You know me, I’m an honest cow! I saw the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird scream before getting buried by divine lightning with my very own eyes….”

Just as he was speaking, a path suddenly appeared in the Five-Colored Divine Lightning before him.

An Lin held the Vermilion Bird Princess’ hand as they made their way out from the sea of lightning, with the dazzling lightning behind them acting as the perfect backdrop.

Kui was completely dumbstruck, as if he had seen a ghost.

“Kui, Kui… Why are you not speaking anymore?” a voice sounded from his voice transmission talisman.

“Wait, I see the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird, she doesn’t appear to have died…” Kui muttered.

Eternal Sun God: “… Are you f*cking with me?”

Kui silently hung up.

In situations like this, the more he explained, the more conflict he could incur. As such, it was best to just hang up.

He turned toward An Lin and the Vermilion Bird Princess with an expression of astonishment. “You didn’t die? Holy crap, I was so worried!”

“Are you really worried? You’re clearly cursing us!” the Vermilion Bird Princess grumbled with a dark expression.

“Er, hahaha…” Kui gave an awkward yet still polite smile. “Let’s not talk about that for now. Did you guys find any treasures in there?”

The Vermilion Bird Princess splayed her hands open. “There was only a divine-rank material in there. I made a massive loss here.”

Kui’s lips twitched, and his chest constricted. “Your expression suggests otherwise.”

“What? Do I have to cry for you?” The Vermilion Bird Princess rolled her eyes.

She tore open a spatial rift as she said, “Alright, I’m off now!”

Kui was still unconvinced. He couldn’t shake the feeling that some valuable treasures had been taken from him, and he turned to An Lin. “Sect Leader An Lin, was the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird speaking the truth?”

An Lin nodded. “The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was very sad at that time, and all her tears had run dry in the lightning pit. She even said she was going to eat ten cows for dinner tonight in order to vent her rage!”

Kui: “…”

After exiting the Five-Colored Lightning Pit, the Vermilion Bird Princess transformed into the haughty Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird again.

“An Lin, I have to go back to the Sun Tree, so I’ll have to bid farewell to you,” she said in her pleasant voice.

“Alright, have a safe trip home. Come to the Four Nine Immortal Sect if you have some spare time in the future,” An Lin said with a smile.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird nodded before spreading her wings and flying into the distance.

“Moo! She didn’t even bid farewell to me! Is she ignoring me after taking my treasures?” Kui was quite disgruntled by the fact that the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird couldn’t even be bothered to talk to him.

“Sect Leader An Lin, are you an acquaintance of the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird?” He turned toward An Lin with curiosity on his face.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird did not bid farewell to him, but she did so to An Lin. Kui felt like there was something a bit dodgy here.

“She is a friend I just made. She has a great personality and is very polite too,” An Lin replied with a smile.

A friend he had just made? Kui felt like a sword had been stabbed into his heart. So, in the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird’s heart, he wasn’t even as important as a friend she had just made?!

An Lin expressed his gratitude to the depressed Kui before following Kui back to his abode.

“All done? Woof?” Bai Xian transmitted his voice.

“Yes, everything went very smoothly.” An Lin was feeling quite elated.

“That’s good to hear.” Bai Xian turned to look at An Lin with a mysterious smile. “However, I hadn’t realized before that Mr. An Lin was such a lucky man…”

“I know I’m a lucky man, but why are you smiling at me like that?” Bai Xian’s smile reminded An Lin of Da Bai’s sly smile, and he felt like there was something not quite right here.

“Hehehe… when I say lucky, I don’t mean in cultivation, but instead in relationships. The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird seems to be quite fond of you…” A sly smile appeared on Bai Xian’s face as a peculiar light appeared in his big, round eyes.

An Lin’s eyes widened at this verdict. “What the hell are you saying? The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird and I are only friends! You’re misreading the situation here!”

A smug smile appeared on Bai Xian’s face. “Who do you think I am? I’m Da Bai’s father! I have seen countless women, and I can see when one is head over heels!”

An Lin was astonished. This really was a case of like father, like son!

Bai Xian continued in his analysis, “Even the way the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird looked at you earlier was different. She seemed to always want to say more than what she actually did. In her eyes, I saw three parts anticipation, three parts shyness, and one part adoration. These details can’t escape the eyes of a seasoned veteran like me!

“I really do admire you. You’re only a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, but you’ve even attracted a mythological beast! I cannot compete in this area…”

Bai Xian turned to An Lin with a gaze of reverence as he spoke.

“Please stop talking.” An Lin clasped a hand over his chest.

He only regarded the Vermilion Bird Princess as a friend, but she liked him?

No, this was only Bai Xian’s speculation. The reality had to be different.

Within a courtyard with vibrant flowers in abundance.

“Big Brother An, how did it go? Woof!” Da Bai ran over to him with excitement on his face.

“Everything went quite well. We can go back now!” An Lin petted Da Bai’s head with a smile. “Thanks for your help this time. This is your reward.”

He tossed two spirit fruits at Da Bai as he spoke.

“Big Brother An is the best!” Da Bai happily chomped on the spirit fruits.

Bai Xian was ecstatic to see the interaction between An Lin and his son.

His son was very fortunate to have such a generous and exceptionally prodigious master.

Thus, all of them enjoyed dinner at Bai Xian’s house.

Da Bai, Bai Xian, Chun, and Qing Hua chatted with one another joyously over the dinner table.

To An Lin, it looked like four Da Bais with different voices speaking to one another, with him chiming in from time to time. It was a slightly strange feeling.

The next morning, An Lin and Da Bai set off on another journey.

The place they were going to was the mystic realm of the Divine Dark Dao Sect!

In the distant past, the Divine Dark Dao Sect was a massive force that was more powerful than even the Heavenly Court!

Even though it was almost entirely in ruins, just the thought of the Sky Sealing Dark King’s inheritance being kept there made An Lin super excited!

Huang Fuwen was undoubtedly a man with great fortune.

However, he did not have the brain to match his brawn. As a result, he had perished, only to further An Lin’s path of cultivation!
