I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 1612

Chapter 1612: The Aggrieved Little Mushroom

Little Mushroom?

What the f*ck?!

The Underworld Dao Flower was completely dumbstruck.

Did that name have anything to do with all of those compliments An Lin had given it?

Not only was the Underworld Dao Flower completely dumbstruck, Ding Xiaoru and Li Yiyin were also in the same boat.

Tina nodded with approval. “Hmm… Giant An Lin’s naming skills have improved. In the past, he always went for two character names. This is his first three character name![1]”

“Pffft…” Xu Xiaolan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

All ninety-nine of the Underworld Dao Flower’s petals stared at An Lin with incredulity, as if to say, “Are you f*cking serious?!”

An Lin stroked its flower petals with a doting smile. “Little Mushroom, you’re going to be called Little Mushroom from now on. It’s pleasing to the ear and very adorable. Furthermore, it matches your appearance and disposition.”

Boom!

The Underworld Dao Flower seemed to have been struck by lightning as it became rooted to the spot. Immediately afterward, a suicidal expression appeared on its petals.

I’ve attained my own dao in the Opposite Shore Realm and am hailed as the emperor of all flowers here, but you’re giving me Little Mushroom as a name?!

The Underworld Dao Flower really wanted to spit at An Lin.

However, Xu Xiaolan was still standing right there, so it could only back down and shed silent tears.

It wouldn’t have been reduced to such a sorry state if it weren’t for Xu Xiaolan!

“By the way, Little Mushroom, can you fight?” An Lin asked.

The Underworld Dao Flower was slightly taken aback by this question before shaking its petals and looking at An Lin with ninety-nine cold expressions.

An Lin nodded upon hearing this. He wasn’t expecting a flower like this to be able to fight anyway.

“Alright, you can go into Little Na’s Pokeball to photosynthesize for now. Xiaolan and I will bring you out once we’re done here,” An Lin instructed.

The Underworld Dao Flower faltered again upon hearing this. At this moment, a round ball had already flown toward it before cracking open, upon which a dazzling light erupted forth alongside an extremely powerful spatial suction force.

“No…” The Underworld Dao Flower yelled with grief and indignation, “I don’t know how to photosynthesize!”

Whoosh!

The Underworld Dao Flower was sucked into the Pokeball.

Everyone fell silent.

An Lin came to a sudden realization and clapped his hands together. “That makes sense! There’s no sun in this Opposite Shore Realm! So how does the Underworld Dao Flower survive?”

Ding Xiaoru’s lips twitched, and he repressed the urge to rant as he offered a patient explanation, “The Underworld Dao Flower has already attained its dao, so it no longer requires any energy source to replenish it. Heaven and earth and will bestow energy upon it…”

An Lin was astonished. “Heaven feeds it?”

Ding Xiaoru nodded. “However, the Underworld Dao Flower likes yin-type energy, so if you want it to become more powerful, you can let it absorb some more yin energy, death energy, darkness energy…”

An Lin nodded and committed this to memory.

As the master of his beast pets, he had to take responsibility for their progressions.

“Yin energy? Little Na can organize that.” Tina patted her tiny chest before regulating the veins of energy within the Pokeball world in order to make all of the yin energy within converged toward where the Underworld Dao Flower was situated.

An Lin expressed his gratitude toward Ding Xiaoru again. “Thank you for bestowing your flower upon me, Senior.”

Ding Xiaoru responded in kind, “Thank you for helping me recover my happiness, Mr. An Lin.”

The two of them praised each other like a pair of old friends.

“What are you going to do next, Mr. An Lin? Perhaps I could be of assistance to you.” Ding Xiaoru knew that An Lin and Xu Xiaolan wouldn’t be coming here for a holiday, so perhaps he could help them out with what they were doing.

“Er…” An Lin suddenly didn’t know how to word this.

Could he tell the truth and say that he was here to beat the crap out of the Dark Spirit King?

This was Patriarch Zhu Yin’s territory! He was basically going to beat up one of his brethren on his territory!

“Mr. An Lin, do you have some difficult circumstances?” Ding Xiaoru patted his chest upon seeing An Lin’s conflicted expression. “Don’t worry, you can tell me anything, and I’ll do my best to help you!”

An Lin had helped him recover his lover and cultivation base, so he felt like just the Underworld Dao Flower as a present was insufficient to express his gratitude.

An Lin could be said to be one of his friends now. His friend had now encountered a problem, and he was more than willing to help, especially seeing as the problem was in the Opposite Shore Realm.

“Are… are you sure?” An Lin hesitated momentarily before asking.

Ding Xiaoru patted his chest once again. “Why would I lie to you? Tell me! I swear on my title as Patriarch Zhu Yin that I will help you with any difficulties you encounter in the Opposite Shore Realm to the best of my abilities!”

“Alright, don’t forget this promise…” An Lin paused momentarily. “I’m actually here with Xiaolan to beat up the Dark Spirit King…”

A peculiar silence ensued.

Ding Xiaoru’s confident expression froze on his face.

“What?” Ding Xiaoru’s face convulsed slightly.

“I want to beat up the Dark Spirit King…” An Lin repeated.

Ding Xiaoru: “…”

Li Yiyin: “…”

“Er… Well…” Ding Xiaoru’s flesh was crawling a little. “May I ask why Mr. An Lin is so intent on beating up the Dark Spirit King?”

He didn’t really have any ties with the Dark Spirit King, but the Dark Spirit King was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure of the Opposite Shore Realm, after all, so he was very important to the Opposite Shore Realm. But now, An Lin was telling him, the paramount god of the Ghost Tribe, that he wanted to beat the Dark Spirit King up…

This was like a slap to the face!

Wait, I seemed to have encouraged An Lin to tell me?

And I swore on my title as Patriarch Zhu Yin that I would help Mr. An Lin with any difficulties he encountered in the Opposite Shore Realm to the best of my abilities?

Ding Xiaoru was struck with the urge to vomit blood with this in mind.

He had slapped himself in the face!

“I don’t like the look of the Dark Spirit King, so I want to beat it up.” An Lin was very straightforward and honest.

Ding Xiaoru thought to himself for a moment before speculating, “Is it because it joined the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army?”

An Lin nodded and did not deny this.

Ding Xiaoru massaged his brows with a conflicted expression. “How about this? We beat him up and teach him a lesson, but we don’t beat him to death, is that alright?”

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina were astonished upon hearing this.

“Y-you said we?” An Lin was in complete disbelief.

“Well, I swore on my title as Patriarch Zhu Yin, so I can’t really go back on my word now, can I?” Patriarch Zhu Yin spoke with an aggrieved expression.

He was the paramount god of the Ghost Tribe, so he had to fulfill his promises even if he did so with tears in his eyes.

Xu Xiaolan still felt like this was very absurd.

They would be extremely grateful if Patriarch Zhu Yin didn’t try to stop them from what they were doing, but he was now going to help them of his own volition? That was outrageous!

“Really?” Xu Xiaolan had to confirm once again.

Ding Xiaoru waved a hand through the air. “I deliver on all my promises! I even know where the Dark Spirit King is, and I’ll take you there right away!”
