I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Why did he kiss her?

There was no way to explain!

If he really did explain, wouldn’t his plan be exposed?

If he told her that he was trying to kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree, he would probably get bashed to death by the Vermilion Bird Princess!

An Lin turned toward the Vermilion Bird Princess with an indignant expression. This was not an act. He really was feeling quite aggrieved. This was a type of aggravation where he felt wronged, but he couldn’t confess why.

Upon seeing An Lin’s expression, the Vermilion Bird Princess pouted before removing her foot from An Lin’s chest and sitting down beside him with an angry expression. “You have something that you can’t say?”

An Lin almost shed tears of gratitude upon hearing this. “That’s right! If I didn’t, I would’ve told you why already! I have no intention of playing with your emotions!”

“But you really did kiss me!” The Vermilion Bird Princess was still very angry.

An Lin: “…”

This chick appeared to be quite shy, but she was quite straightforward and brave sometimes as well…

The two of them fell into silence.

An Lin pulled out his Blood Soul Jade Coffin and lay down inside it as he swallowed spirit pills.

The redness receded from the Vermilion Bird Princess’ cheeks, and she turned to An Lin with her big eyes. “Shameless An, I think you should give me a reasonable explanation. After all, I incurred psychological trauma from that.”

With a resigned expression, An Lin turned to the Vermilion Bird Princess. “You’ve hit me and verbally abused me, are those not enough? What the hell is this psychological trauma?”

The Vermilion Bird Princess chuckled coldly. “Think about it. Would you be fine if you were kissed by a pig?”

An Lin: “…”

Hey, was there a need to be that hurtful?

A faint blush reappeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess’ face as she pursed her lips. “Of course, it wasn’t as bad as that, but that’s the general gist of it. Hence, you have to tell me your motive for kissing me.”

That’s right, everything had to happen because of a motive.

“E… even if you tell me you like me and couldn’t help yourself, I-I would accept that…” Her voice began to taper off toward the end of that sentence.

An Lin was instantly nervous upon hearing this. He was quite serious when it came to relationships as well, so he definitely wasn’t going to say that he liked the Vermilion Bird Princess. Otherwise, he really would be a scummy man who played with the emotions of others.

“That’s not the case…” He shook his head before turning to the woman before him, who looked slightly exhausted and dejected. “Screw it, I was wrong in this matter, so I’ll tell you the truth.

“You can hit me or abuse me all you want after you hear the truth, I’ll take it! But you have to promise not to tell any other living being about this!”

The Vermilion Bird Princess nodded without any hesitation. “Alright!”

“Swear a vow.” An Lin was still not at ease.

The Vermilion Bird Princess immediately stuck her middle finger and index finger to the sky and swore a dao heart vow.

It wasn’t important whether she could tell other people. She only wanted to know the truth.

An Lin took a deep breath before coming clean. “I have a cultivation method that requires me to kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree in order to successfully cultivate in it. If I don’t kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree in ten days, I’m going to become mentally handicapped…”

“I kissed you just then because I thought you were the guardian of the Sun Tree. I’m sorry, Vermilion Bird Princess!” He extended a genuine apology.

The Vermilion Bird Princess’ eyelashes trembled, and she seemed a little dejected.

“So that’s what happened… You mistook me for the wrong person? That’s a bizarre answer, but I guess it makes sense.”

She then seemed to realize something before turning to An Lin in shock. “You want to kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree?!”

The Vermilion Bird Princess looked at An Lin as if he were already mentally handicapped.

An Lin was expecting this type of reaction from her, and he nodded in a calm and collected manner. “That’s right. I have to do that in order to not become mentally handicapped.”

Vermilion Bird Princess: “…”

“That is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard!” She looked at An Lin, and her expression eased significantly. “However, it’s a show of your sincerity that you decided to tell me this. At the very least, you don’t regard me as an enemy.”

“I don’t want to lie to you.” An Lin smiled. “Friends should be more open with one another.”

He was actually taking a gamble here.

“Friends?” The Vermilion Bird Princess’ expression shifted slightly.

“That’s right, I think we became friends through fighting.” An Lin nodded. Even though he was the only one getting bashed…

Her bright eyes flashed, and an involuntary smile appeared on her face, as if she had just thought of something fun.

She curbed her smile and aimed a serious expression at An Lin. “You really want to kiss the guardian of the Sun Tree?”

“It seems like it’s impossible.” An Lin was feeling quite dejected.

With a mysterious expression, the Vermilion Bird Princess said, “As such… You and I are already friends, and friends should help each other out. I know of a secret passageway nearby that can lead you to the ninth level and allow you to meet the guardian of the Sun Tree!”

An Lin was ecstatic to hear this. “That’s great! You’re my lucky star, Vermilion Bird Princess!”

“Sure sure, we’ll set off after you recover from your injuries,” the Vermilion Bird Princess replied with a dainty smile. “However… I won’t reveal myself, and you better not sell me out. You’ll have to deal with any trouble you encounter on the ninth level by yourself. I won’t be able to help you with anything.”

An Lin nodded. “I understand! No problem!”

The Vermilion Bird Princess’ storage ring flashed, and a white, glowing fruit appeared in her hand, which she then tossed to An Lin. “Have one. It’s for the replenishment of energy and blood.”

“This…” An Lin could sense that this was a seventh-grade immortal fruit. “You’re giving this to me?”

“Well, I did pummel you after all. This is a Sun Fruit from the seventh level. As an apology, it’ll be my present to you.” The Vermilion Bird Princess waved a hand nonchalantly.

An Lin didn’t try and refuse the fruit. Instead, he lay back down into his coffin and began chomping on it.

The Sun Fruit tasted a lot like an apple, in that it was both sour and sweet at once.

The power of yang within the fruit coursed through his body in warm streams, making him feel extremely comfortable and at ease. Not only had the power of the flames within his body improved slightly, but even his injuries were also being healed at an extremely quick rate.

“Hmm, that was delicious!” An Lin couldn’t help but praise.

“Heehee… There’s more where that came from! Maybe I’ll give you one or two more when I’m in a good mood,” the Vermilion Bird Princess said with a smug smile.

“You’re a great friend, Vermilion Bird Princess!” An Lin nodded with a smile.

Not long after that, An Lin’s injuries were completely healed.

The Vermilion Bird Princess led the way while walking in her usual light and dainty footsteps as An Lin trailed along behind her.

The two of them passed by the Vermilion Bird Princess’ small bathing pond. They then walked along a little stream before arriving at a gate with ripples running across it.

Even with An Lin’s powerful divine sense, he was unable to see what lay on the other side of the gate.

The Vermilion Bird Princess led An Lin through the gate.

After a rush of dizziness, they arrived at a black continent.

There were many places with colorful holy energy swirling around, casting a series of beautiful lights in the night. There were also all types of areas with powerful energy fluctuations. Those seemed to be special mystic realms.

The Vermilion Bird Princess continued onward before dragging An Lin to a white circle of light and installing a pair of white wings onto his back.

“Shameless An, with these blessed wings, you will be exempt from the Sun Tree’s flying restrictions. They will carry you to the ninth level. Good luck!” The Vermilion Bird Princess waved goodbye with a smile.

“Thank you very much, Vermilion Bird Princess!” An Lin was extremely touched.

This woman was the key for him to escape his fate of mental retardation. He would remember all she had done for him!

The white wings began to flap as An Lin slowly flew into the sky.

As An Lin disappeared from her view, the Vermilion Bird Princess finally pulled out a photographic crystal and licked her ruby lips. “Shameless An, you didn’t know that I would install a photographic crystal in those wings, did you? A good show is about to begin! I’m full of anticipation, hehehe…”
