Chapter 849 - The Depressed Dominic
Chapter 849: The Depressed Dominic
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Dominic was an open-minded person, but that didn’t mean that he was a willful person.
His daughter’s future happiness was concerned here, so he had to think long and hard about this.
Dominic fell into a dilemma. This was a very difficult problem.
This was one of the rare situations where he was at a loss for what to do. However, he still nodded his head with difficulty as he wanted to respect his daughter’s decision. “Fanny, I won’t interfere with your decision. However, make sure to end the relationship if it becomes unhealthy for you. Also, if you get bullied, tell me…”
Boom!
A monstrously frightening aura soared into the heavens, and An Lin and the others were all struck by a powerful sense of asphyxiation.
This was the power of the Dao Integration Stage!
“Tell me, and I’ll make them regret being born!”
Dominic spoke in a calm voice, but the determination in his eyes was undebatable. Perhaps, this was the only thing he could do for his daughter as a father.
The Celestial Thearch had boasted to him not long ago about the Small War God of the Heavenly Court, An Lin. This was a man with whom one always had to expect the unexpected. Even though he kept many secrets, he was a good person at heart and was a man with a very strong set of morals and ethics. Furthermore, his disciple appeared to be quite good-natured as well.
This was the reason why Dominic didn’t immediately kill them on the spot.
His daughter was going to have to enter a relationship sooner or later, so he might as well just let her go…
Fanny and Xiao Ze were both dumbstruck upon hearing this. Dominic had agreed!
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were also quite shocked. Things were much easier than they had expected.
They had thought that they would have to do a lot more convincing!
However, what An Lin and the others didn’t know was how much of an internal conflict Dominic had gone through during this period of time. Aside from that, the Celestial Thearch had also unintentionally given him an assist. However, at the very core of this matter, it was An Lin and his team’s good reputation that made things go smooth sailing for them.
“Fanny, this is great!” A blissful smile appeared on Xiao Ze’s face.
He couldn’t repress his emotions any longer, and he charged toward Fanny to try and envelop her in a tight hug.
Splat!
Dominic immediately slapped Xiao Ze into the ground.
An Lin: “…”
“Hmph! You better settle down or I’ll kill you right now!” Dominic warned with a menacing expression.
Xiao Ze got up with an apologetic smile. “Alright, Father. I don’t have any relatives left, so we’re a family from now on.”
Dominic’s lips twitched.
Fanny chuckled lightly as she covered her mouth. Xiao Ze’s shameless tactics did not evoke a single shred of displeasure in her heart. Instead, she was overcome by an indescribable sense of happiness.
“The Pill Sage has agreed for her daughter to enter into a relationship with a dragon?” An elder’s mouth gaped open in shock as he viciously pinched one of the four-armed ape’s arms.
“Ow! Why are you pinching me?” The four-armed ape elder jumped up.
“I wanted to see if I were dreaming,” the elder replied.
The four-armed ape immediately flared up. “Then pinch yourself!”
The elder replied, “But that would hurt.”
The four-armed ape: “…”
Thus, Xiao Ze and Fanny officially established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
All the onlookers felt as if they were in an illusionary realm. This bizarre sequence of events was outside of even their wildest imagination.
They could accept how An Lin had flexed all over them during this pill refinement competition, but now, he had even managed to convert the Pill Sage’s daughter from foe to friend. Furthermore, this was a conversion from foe to his disciple’s girlfriend…
This was something unimaginable to them, but An Lin managed to do it!
An Lin’s legendary feats would most likely spread through the Pill City and even the entire Opposite Shore Realm very soon.
There were no ghosts that would dare to look down on this mysterious and powerful pill refinement master!
Thus, the competition drew to a conclusion following a grand firework display.
The kneeling Grey had to be picked up from the ground by Julia.
Julia felt like her cousin might’ve developed mental problems as he was constantly repeating things like “Boss An Lin’s flex is unmatched, please take me to flex with you” and other things along those lines.
“Sigh, this kid keeps saying stuff that doesn’t make sense. He should be good as new after a beating though…” Julia sighed with a dejected expression and took one last look at that legendary man before taking her cousin elsewhere for “treatment”.
The treatment was not suitable for younger audiences, so she had to take him somewhere secluded first.
Xiao Ze stood a little shyly beside Fanny as they talked about some interesting cultivation stories.
He had encountered many interesting things ever since he met An Lin, so his anecdotes were able to send Fanny into frequent fits of laughter.
Dongfang Zhuangshi’s impression of An Lin had completely elevated from appreciation to admiration, and he couldn’t help but sigh while praising An Lin, “An Lin, you are a brilliant man!”
Xu Xiaolan stood beside An Lin and asked in a low voice, “How did you figure out Xiao Ze had feelings for Fanny?”
“I immediately thought of that golden Realm Essence Crystal statue upon seeing Fanny, so I naturally turned to look at Xiao Ze to discover that he looked like he had lost his soul! That was clearly love at first sight!
“Not only that, I flexed so much during my pill refinement, but Xiao Ze was still looking at Fanny the whole time! I couldn’t take it anymore! I’m so handsome and so talented, why was Xiao Ze so intent on looking at her?” An Lin spoke with displeasure.
Xu Xiaolan: “… This is indeed the power of love.”
Among the ninety or so competitors, eighty of them were planning to join the Pill Tower.
Unfortunately, the two most eye-catching pill refinement masters didn’t join the Pill Tower. This was quite disappointing, and on top of that, they had even abducted the third-place Fanny…
That’s right, they had abducted her heart.
After a short period together, Dominic discovered with crushing sadness that his daughter really did seem to have developed a fondness for Xiao Ze. F*ck… He wanted to kill himself!
“Xiao Ze, you’re a member of the Four Nine Immortal Sect?
“Ah! So that An Lin is the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect? Hehe, sorry for not making the connection. Our naming conventions here are very different from yours, so I thought this was another An Lin…
“Go to the Four Nine Immortal Sect? Sure! That sounds great! I’ve always wanted to go to the Kingdom of the Nine States!”
Dominic: “…”
It seemed like his daughter was being abducted a little too quickly?
Dominic looked up at the sky while feeling extremely depressed…
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Opposite Shore Realm.
A blue bat flew over the sky. It had one black eye and one white eye, which assessed the entire landscape in a radius of a few hundred kilometers below it, down to the very last detail. There was no disguise or concealment that could fool its eyes.
Beside it was a red turtle that was holding a silver divinatory diagram that it used for divination purposes.
“Your Majesty, the three immortal beasts at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage have used the Infernal Realm Lock to lock up the borders of the Opposite Shore Realm. However, it is extremely taxing to maintain, and they’ve given us less than five days,” the red turtle said.
The bat beside the red turtle was none other than the Divine Bat Emperor.
“Five days is enough. Where is our next stop?” the Divine Bat Emperor asked in an indifferent voice.
“Er… The divinatory diagram indicates that there is a very big chance that they are competing in a pill refinement competition at Pill City.” A hesitant expression appeared on the red turtle’s face.
The Divine Bat Emperor turned toward it with a skeptical expression. “Did you not sleep well last night?”
The red turtle: “… Even though it’s scarcely believable, that is what the divinatory diagram is showing me…”
“They’re not running for their lives, but instead participating in a pill refinement competition? Are they scared that we won’t be able to find them? Even an idiot won’t do something like that!”
A disgruntled expression appeared on the Divine Bat Emperor’s face. “We don’t have time to waste on useless places.”
A hesitant expression appeared on the red turtle’s face. “Then our next stop?”
The Divine Bat Emperor paused momentarily before connecting a voice transmission.
A voice soon sounded from the other side.
“Divine Bat Emperor? What do you need from me?”
“Pill Sage, I need your help. I’ll transmit a few presences for you. Can you detect with your divine sense to see if they’re in Pill City?”
“No problem.”
Moments later.
The Pill Sage looked at An Lin and the others, and he fell into deep thought upon receiving the presences…
What a coincidence!
He was just racking his brains for how to get rid of these people who were trying to abduct his daughter, but he didn’t think that an opportunity would arise so soon!
Was God helping him?
Dominic looked at the people before him, and a joyful smile appeared on his face as he sensed the presences on his voice transmission talisman.
