Chapter 1386: Yan Shuqin’s Freedom
Why hadn’t she left?
Even Yan Shuqin herself did not know the answer to this question.
Perhaps she was afraid that the White-Robed Exalted Immortal would hunt down her family in rage if she left? Perhaps she yearned for this legendary man and wanted an opportunity to interact with him in close quarters just to see what kind of man he was?
Thankfully, her choice paid off.
She could now determine that the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was even more perfect than she had imagined.
The only thing that struck her with a hint of disappointment was that he did not seem to be moved by her exquisite beauty…
His heart was too small and could only hold one person.
But that person could be her…
Many thoughts flashed through Yan Shuqin’s mind in that instant, but a vibrant smile soon appeared on her face as she spoke in her gentle voice, “Then, would you be willing to let me go?”
Her aptitude, looks, and talents were all peerless. She was a woman with very high standards and would not fall for any ordinary man.
However, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal fulfilled all of the qualities of the man of her dreams.
Yan Shuqin was confident that there was no woman on this entire continent who could surpass her. She was making her intentions quite clear, so no matter how high the White-Robed Exalted Immortal’s standards were, his heart would surely waver.
She stood with her elegant white dress billowing out like a refreshing snow lotus around her as she stared at An Lin with just the right mix of seduction and anticipation in her beautiful eyes.
An Lin was momentarily stunned, and he nodded with a smile. “Of course I don’t want you to leave.”
As expected… No man could resist her charms.
Yan Shuqin raised her head slightly as a hint of confidence welled up in her heart. A faint smile that contained a hint of shyness and reluctance appeared on her face.
She paused momentarily before speaking in her gentle voice again, “If you don’t want me to leave, then I wouldn’t dare to…”
“Oh, I hope you’re not misconstruing my words. What I’m saying is, you’re the queen of the Spring Light Palace, so you must have received a lot of precious treasures from Feng Wuya. I don’t want you to go because I was hoping you would hand over some of those treasures before leaving…” An Lin looked at Yan Shuqin with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Yan Shuqin’s mouth gaped open slightly, and she was completely flabbergasted for several seconds.
“Pffft…” Yang Lingqian couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Yan Shuqin’s cheeks were a bit flushed from rage and humiliation.
I’m trying so hard to offer myself to you, but you only want my money?!
She felt very indignant and aggrieved, but she didn’t dare to flare up with rage, so she could only purse her lips and stare silently at An Lin.
“Alright, alright, don’t put on such a sad face. It looks like talking about money really is bad for relationships… You can go now. I won’t trouble you any further.” An Lin waved a hand and said, “You’re free now!”
Free…
Yan Shuqin’s heart shuddered slightly upon hearing this.
Yan Shuqin stared at the man standing before her with a warm smile on his face. This was a pure, genuine smile with no hint of impurity. After a long time, she finally came to her senses, and a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face. She had never felt so elated and carefree before. Freedom… This was something she didn’t even dare to dream about in the past.
Everything was over.
Just when she was trying to lock herself back into a cage due to her concerns and anxiety, the man standing before her had shattered the cage, leaving her no reason to confine herself within it anymore.
This was such a simple yet glorious ending.
“Thank you, White-Robed Exalted Immortal.” Yan Shuqin extended an elegant curtsey.
A radiant and enchanting smile appeared on her face, making her appear as if she were a goddess who had descended upon this world.
“Alright, farewell then.” An Lin still had many things that he needed to do.
Yan Shuqin made her way out of the palace before turning at the gate with a vibrant smile on her face. “White-Robed Exalted Immortal, if you wish to continue to fight for oppressed women all over this continent, I can help you.”
“Huh?” An Lin faltered slightly, unsure of why she would suddenly bring up a topic like this, but he still made an inquiry. “For free?”
Yan Shuqin: “… Yes, for free.”
She thought to herself for a moment before adding, “On the Divine Source Continent, women are still traditionally viewed as inferior to men. Hence, I also want to strive for a better future for women like me.”
“I’d be happy to help.” An Lin smiled. “We’ll keep in touch.”
Yan Shuqin nodded before flying into the air and disappearing from view.
“Yan Shuqin really is a beauty to whom no man is immune!” Yang Lingqian crossed her arms and harrumphed coldly with displeasure.
Even before Yan Shuqin left, she still didn’t forget to seduce An Lin one last time. What a cunning b*tch!
“She’s actually not as beautiful as you.” An Lin suddenly turned with a smile.
“Huh?” Yang Lingqian was caught off guard by his words, and a deep blush appeared on her face. “Wh… what are you saying?”
My God! An Lin just said that I’m more beautiful than Yan Shuqin! Is this what they mean when they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder?! Yang Lingqian was also screaming internally.
At the same time, her heart rate began to elevate.
What should she say now? What should she do now?
Before she had a chance to make up her mind, An Lin continued, “You’re more straightforward and honest than she is, and you have a better personality. Thus, you get extra marks for that and are more beautiful than Yan Shuqin as a result!”
Yang Lingqian: “…”
“Here, this pair of bracelets suit you quite well. I’ll give them to you as a thank-you gift for cooperating with me over this period of time.” An Lin passed a pair of bracelets to Yang Lingqian.
“These are… the Crimson Heart Bracelets!” Yang Lingqian stared at the bracelets before her with incredulity in her eyes. “These… these are immortal tools…”
She was a little hesitant and reluctant to take such a valuable present.
On the Divine Source Continent, some of the Return to Void Stage exalted immortals did not even have one immortal tool. She was only a cultivator at the Spirit Nurturing Pinnacle Stage…
“Just do as I say and keep them. Don’t you think I have enough immortal tools already?” An Lin couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight of Yang Lingqian’s awestruck expression, and he gently grabbed her soft hands before putting the bracelets on for her.
“Hmm, not bad. You’re a fire cultivator, and your red dress matches the Crimson Heart Bracelets well.” An Lin nodded with satisfaction at the sight of the crimson bracelets on Yang Lingqian’s slender, fair wrists.
Yang Lingqian stared blankly at the bracelets, seemingly in a daze.
She did a light, elegant twirl before raising her hands into the air, and a vibrant smile appeared on her face at the sight of the crimson bracelets glinting under the sunlight.
Yang Lingqian turned to An Lin with a smile. “Thank you.”
