I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 1948

Chapter 1948: Growing Up

“My God, my Xiaolan!” An Lin exclaimed.

“What is it?” Little Xiaolan rubbed her bleary eyes.

She then seemed to have realized something as well, and her eyes widened as she let loose a cry of surprise, “My God, I can speak so fluently now!”

Little Xiaolan wept from joy.

“This is great! I thought I would be stuttering and blubbering for the rest of my life.” The little girl wiped away her tears with an elated expression on her face.

“I was really worried about that as well.” An Lin heaved a sigh of relief before pinching Little Xiaolan’s delicate cheek. “You’re even more adorable now.”

Little Xiaolan blushed as she glared at An Lin with her large, bright eyes. “Don’t you feel guilty when you play with little girls like this?”

“It doesn’t matter as long as you’re Xiaolan.” An Lin patted her head and planted a kiss on her flawless, angelic cheek. “Three-year-old Xiaolan is also super adorable!”

Little Xiaolan rolled her eyes and ignored him.

An Lin made another dress for Xu Xiaolan. This time, it was a pink princess dress.

“Xiaolan, you’re always wearing azure and green clothes, it’s time for you to change your style.” An Lin helped Little Xiaolan into the princess dress with a wide grin on his face.

“Beautiful!” An Lin sized up the flawlessly gorgeous little girl before him. After putting on the pink princess dress, she was so adorable that An Lin couldn’t take his eyes off her.

An Lin pulled out a bottle of Vermilion Bird milk from his storage ring with a smile. “Have some milk.”

Little Xiaolan responded expressionlessly, “I’m not a one-year-old baby anymore. I’m already three years old!”

She bared her little teeth to prove her point. “I have teeth now, see?”

“You’re right. Now that you have teeth, you can eat other things…” An Lin wore a doting expression as he asked, “What do you want to eat today, baby? I’ll cook for you.”

Little Xiaolan heaved a resigned sigh. “An Lin, are you trying to actually raise me as your daughter?”

“You already called me daddy, so I have to do my job,” An Lin replied with a serious expression.

Little Xiaolan: “… I was kidding…”

“But I took you seriously.” An Lin grabbed Little Xiaolan’s soft little hand and led her outside. “Let’s see what special ingredients can be found on the Vermilion Bird territory! Your father is going to cook up a storm today!”

Great Empress Vermilion Bird reappeared on the Immortal Vermilion Star.

All of the Vermilion Birds were extremely excited. They discovered that their Great Empress Vermilion Bird was even more adorable now that she had grown up!

“The gods are smiling down upon our tribe! The Great Empress is growing so quickly and filled with vitality, just like our Vermilion Bird Tribe!”

“What perfect features… Even though Great Empress Vermilion Bird has been born as a human, she’s still so breathtakingly beautiful! Her beauty transcends beyond barriers such as race and species and can captivate any and every living being!”

The Vermilion Birds immediately began sucking up to three-year-old Xu Xiaolan.

An Lin was completely astonished.

He really wanted to ask them how they could be so shameless when sucking up to their Great Empress but so arrogant in the face of other living beings?

An Lin gained access to the national treasure vault with the excuse that he required ingredients to cook for their Great Empress Vermilion Bird. He then proceeded to grab a massive pile of top-rate ingredients including many spirit medicines and immortal medicines.

The vault caretaker’s heart throbbed with pain, but they didn’t say anything.

Anything for the Great Empress!

Thus, An Lin used the fire-type ingredients native to the Vermilion Bird territory to cook one sumptuous dish after another for Little Xiaolan, leaving her completely unable to stop eating and constantly asking for more.

An Lin naturally satisfied all of her demands with the doting love of a benevolent father.

She was simply too adorable to turn down!

The days passed by in a peaceful and serene fashion.

Soon, guests arrived at the Immortal Vermilion Star.

A few turtles with enormous auras accompanied a woman in a blue dress, and they descended near the Immortal Vermilion Star teleportation spell formations.

The woman was greeted by the sight of a familiar man smiling at her as soon as she arrived.

“Sister Shangguan Yi, I hope you’ve been well,” the man said with a warm smile.

“An Lin…” Tears welled up in Shangguan Yi’s eyes. She had been through a lot of hardships during these past few days. If it weren’t for An Lin helping to save her, she shuddered to think what could have become of her.

At this moment, a crisp, tender voice sounded, “Sister Shangguan, everything is in the past now. You’re on my territory, so you’ll be getting the best hospitality. No one will dare to push you around!”

Shangguan Yi focused her gaze to discover that there was an extremely beautiful little girl sitting on An Lin’s shoulders with her body pressed tightly against the back of An Lin’s head and her hands grabbing fistfuls of An Lin’s hair.

For some reason, this smiling loli looked quite familiar.

“Sister Shuangguan, do you not recognize me?” The little girl cocked her head to the side with a sweet smile on her face.

Shangguan Yi suddenly figured out who she was, upon which an astonished expression appeared on her face. “You… you’re Sister Xiaolan! My God, how did you end up like this? Didn’t you already inherit the Vermilion Bird Holy Berth? What happened?”

“Sigh… I’m not so sure myself.” Xu Xiaolan shook her head. “I inherited the Holy Berth, but the Holy Berth had been severely ravaged, and it can’t do anything now aside from hiding in a corner and lick its wounds.

“It’s not nurturing me, I’m nurturing it right now! As such, a mishap occurred when I was reborn as a Holy Beast, and I must’ve expended too much energy, thereby reducing me to this state… I’ll have to slowly recover to get back to my former state…”

Shangguan Yi nodded. “As long as you can go back to your original state, everything will be fine. Speaking of which, you’re so adorable in your current state!”

“Right? I think so too.” An Lin chuckled as he reached to pinch Little Xiaolan’s cheek, only for Little Xiaolan to slap his hand aside. An Lin’s hand slid down and settled for pinching Little Xiaolan’s slender waist. It was so soft!

“By the way, where’s Mo Hai? I heard that he’s also here on the Vermilion Bird territory,” Shangguan Yi asked.

“Mo Hai is having the time of his life here! He obtained many inheritances from the Vermilion Bird trial mystic realm and is now about to make a breakthrough to Return to Void Intermediate Stage!” An Lin replied.

Shangguan Yi nodded. “That’s great news! I’ve also progressed to the Dao Integration Intermediate Stage.”

An Lin was shocked. “How did you progress so quickly? Did you also receive Xuan Wu’s core inheritance?”

“No.” Shangguan Yi shook her head. “I suddenly attained enlightenment as I pondered life while in imprisonment, and I finally made a breakthrough.”

An Lin: “…”

For some reason, An Lin was reminded of Ye Ling…

Speaking of her, Mo Hai sure was disgraceful!

Shangguan Yi was outstripping him in achievements even while in prison!

Just as he was thinking this, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the teleportation spell formation again.

“This is…” An elated expression appeared on An Lin’s face. “This is White Tiger’s aura! Brother Yang Yuan is also coming!”
