Novel Full Chapter 216 - Xiao Yu's Kind Intentions
Chapter 216: Xiao Yu’s Kind Intentions
There was a world of difference between an innate immortal and an ordinary dragon.
Ao Longyu’s talent was top-notch in Kunlun. With the Jade Pool as her backing, no one in the human race could compare to her.
But she still needed close to five hundred years to become an immortal.
Ao Man, on the other hand, was born an immortal.
His starting point was ridiculously high, and his future accomplishments would definitely not be weak.
It was just that his temperament was not that stable, or rather, his personality was more cheerful.
Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan and realized that her Junior Brother was too calm.
“Junior Brother, have you become old?” Xiao Yu asked.
“…”
Jiang Lan didn’t know how to respond. Was he old?
According to human age, he was indeed a little old.
However, if he compared to other human cultivators, an age of slightly more than 260 years was still considered young, right?
“Senior Sister, do you intend to give a gift back to him?”
In the end he didn’t answer Xiao Yu’s question on whether he had grown old. There was no conclusive answer.
He looked very young.
“Actually, I do.” Xiao Yu placed the bottle aside and said.
“I’m not used to receiving gifts, but my younger brother feels that giving a gift in return makes us feel a little distant. And thus it doesn’t feel right to him.”
Xiao Yu then turned to face Jiang Lan and said seriously.
“Junior Brother, what do you think?”
Perhaps, you should just make him tell you the truth. These words flashed through Jiang Lan’s mind.
But it was just a flash.
“I’m fine with anything. It might just be Senior Sister who is thinking too much.” Jiang Lan’s voice was as calm as ever, without any fluctuations.
At this moment, he held the wooden sword and started to embed it with the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent.
After all these years, this ordinary wooden sword was no longer ordinary.
It was as if there was something special in it that would delay the dissipation of the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent.
For example, right now, there were still some left in it.
Xiao Yu didn’t mind, and Jiang Lan naturally didn’t mind either.
Xiao Yu sat opposite Jiang Lan and rested her chin on her hands.
“If I want to return his gift with a gift, what should I get for him?”
“Something more ordinary,” Jiang Lan replied.
The Eighth Prince should be richer than Xiao Yu.
“Then I shall give this to him.” Xiao Yu took out a shining pearl and continued.
“Night-luminescent pearl, it sparkles under the night sky.”
Jiang Lan looked up and saw Xiao Yu taking out a glowing pearl. Her eyes were filled with joy.
Did his Senior Sister like shiny things?
Subsequently, he only nodded slightly and replied, “You can try.” Then, he continued to add his Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent to the wooden sword.
Xiao Yu stood up and walked towards Jiang Lan.
“Junior Brother, move slightly to one side.”
Jiang Lan was surprised. What was Xiao Yu going to do?
Despite his doubts, he still moved a little.
Seeing that Jiang Lan had given up his seat, Xiao Yu sat beside him and placed the luminous pearl opposite them.
“This is for my younger brother, Ao Man.”
Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu in confusion.
Xiao Yu smiled and explained to Jiang Lan.
“I’ll give my younger brother a gift while I stay and support you.”
Jiang Lan was stunned.
His hands which were augmenting the wooden sword with his Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent suddenly stopped.
However, he quickly returned to normal and continued to do his job.
“Does Xiao Yu know that my opponent is her brother?”
His opponent was Ao Man, the Eighth Prince of the Dragon Race.
Xiao Yu never mentioned it before and neither did he.
It would make things difficult for Xiao Yu.
He thought that Xiaoyu was not that well-informed, but now that he thought about it, he was probably the one who was not.
After Jiang Lan came to a realization, Xiao Yu ran back to her seat and kept the luminous pearl.
“I will send it to him later.”
“Did Senior Sister cultivate from scratch?” Jiang Lan asked softly.
He was only curious about how much cultivation Xiao Yu possessed when she was born.
He just didn’t dare to ask so directly.
“Junior Brother, do you think I’ve embarrassed the Dragon Race?” Xiao Yu’s eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Lan.
It was as if she was about to fly into a rage.
His Senior Sister now had more and more expressions. This was Jiang Lan’s first thought.
Initially, Xiao Yu’s expression did not change as much as it did now. As time passed, Xiao Yu became more and more like a teenage girl.
She was lively, cheerful, and full of vitality.
“Senior Sister has cultivated step by step, leaving your footprints along the path of cultivation. Every step that you have taken proves that you are becoming stronger. It’s different from an innate immortal’s.” Jiang Lan placed her hand on the wooden sword and looked at Xiao Yu.
“Senior Sister’s path of cultivation is more stable.”
Xiao Yu smiled and looked at Jiang Lan without saying anything else.
After some time, Jiang Lan finished embedding his Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent into the wooden sword.
It would disappear after a year at most.
“Junior Brother, did you help me find a flower suitable to be planted in the Jade Pool?” Xiao Yu put away the wooden sword and asked.
Jiang Lan pointed at a group of flowers in the courtyard.
“Senior Sisters can bring those back and try them out. I’ll go take a look at the effects in a few days.”
Xiao Yu agreed and immediately went to check on them.
Jiang Lan didn’t mind.
He picked up the wooden sword beside him and swung it.
Every swing of the sword contained the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent.
There were no techniques in his swing, just an ordinary sword swing.
This was the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Every move and stance was just an ordinary sword swing.
However, it was also extremely special.
Thus, it was impossible for others to learn it.
Seeing that Jiang Lan was practicing the Dragon Slaying Sword, Xiao Yu carried her wooden sword to Jiang Lan’s side and learned from her.
Jiang Lan: “…”
This dragoness was a little fierce.
It was one thing for her to practice the Dragon Slaying Sword, but why did she have to come over when he was familiarizing himself with this move?
What if the slash hit…
What crime was he going to bear?
Beating up a minor?
Jiang Lan sighed in her heart but didn’t mind.
He planned to build up the spiritual courtyard as soon as possible so at that time, Xiao Yu would have something to do.
In the evening.
Jiang Lan accompanied Ao Longyu to the First Summit.
The current Ao Longyu looked normal. She was slender and elegant.
She looked absolutely stunning.
“Junior brother, are you not going up?” Ao Longyu asked Jiang Lan.
She looked calm and was no longer as cheerful as before.
She wanted to go up to look for Ao Man and give him the pearl.
The Dragon Race was temporarily staying on the First Summit.
Jiang Lan shook his head. He had no intention of going up. The First Summit should be rather special and he didn’t want to go up for the time being.
From his senses, it would not be easy for him to get along with the First Summit.
“Wait for me, Junior Brother.”
After Jiang Lan nodded, Ao Longyu headed towards the First Summit.
Jiang Lan waited below the First Summit.
He was slightly curious. The Ninth Summit was connected to the netherworld, and the First Summit should be connected to somewhere as well.
And the most likely connection…
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan looked up at the sky.
He could not confirm his thought.
Perhaps he would know the answer after achieving immortality on the surface.
After a while.
Ao Longyu descended from the First Summit.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Junior Brother.”
This was the first thing Ao Longyu said.
Jiang Lan nodded slightly and didn’t say anything, because if he did say something, it would be just pleasantries.
Senior Sister didn’t seem to like it.
Then, they headed towards the Ninth Summit.
After they returned to the Ninth Summit, Ao Longyu rode her sword back to the Jade Pool.
Only then did Jiang Lan begin to familiarize himself with the Dragon Slaying Sword.
He hoped that there was a possibility of further progress.
A month was not long.
It wasn’t even enough to build a house.
It was basically impossible for him to make a breakthrough within a month, but Jiang Lan still held some hope.
Jiang Lan went into the Netherworld Cave to check, and only left after confirming that there were no problems with it.
If someone had intruded into it, he would receive feedback from the array formations while he was in the courtyard.
Cultivating the Dragon Slaying Sword didn’t require him to stay in the Netherworld Cave. He just needed to be in his courtyard.
