Chapter 455: The Arrival of the Beast Pets

The second day of business at the Lan Lin Medical Clinic was much better than the first day. They earned a lot of money, but it was still a trifling amount in the eyes of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.

The sun gradually descended past the horizon, and the two of them returned home after a day of hard work.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had only just returned home when they were greeted by a series of figures descending from the sky. Immediately afterward, Little Chun and Little Xia’s screams of shock traveled into their ears.

“Big Brother An, we’re here, woof!”

Da Bai landed in the courtyard and immediately started to bark excitedly.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both wore smiles on their faces as they appeared hand in hand before the team of beast pets. “Welcome.”

All the beast pets were instantly stunned into silence.

“Master, how did your hair turn white? It looks so cool!” Xiao Hong’s red, flowery head wobbled from side to side as she exclaimed in a sweet voice.

“That’s not the important thing here!” Da Bai exclaimed in shock. “What’s important is that he’s holding Xu Xiaolan’s hand in front of all of us! How can there be a female in this world who’s willing to allow Big Brother An to hold their hand? And that female is none other than Celestial Maiden Xiaolan! How can this be, woof!”

An Lin: “…”

“I don’t think that’s important either… I’m much more concerned about the fact that I’m unable to detect any vital energy fluctuations from Xu Xiaolan,” Xiao Chou said with a grave expression.

The White-Scaled Wolf God didn’t say anything. He was standing obediently behind Da Bai with a fawning expression on his face.

“Come in, I’ll explain everything to you guys,” An Lin smiled and said.

These beast pets were all great friends of his, and Xu Xiaolan had told him that she didn’t mind letting the beast pets know about her current condition. Thus, he gathered all of them together to explain to them what had happened.

The beast pets all wore expressions of curiosity as they followed An Lin into the house.

Within the courtyard, the four seasons were staring at the group of beast pets with wide eyes.

“The white dog has appeared… We were right, our Male Master is the very same An Lin from the Heavenly Court!” Little Xia took a deep breath before exclaiming in shock.

“I carefully flicked through the past few editions of the Kingdom of the Nine States Magazine, and I discovered that our Master, Xu Xiaolan, is also a supremely talented prodigy from the Vermilion Bird Sect!” Little Dong also exclaimed in amazement and admiration.

“So the people we’re serving are actually extremely powerful immortals! We have to do our best to put in a good performance,” Little Qiu chimed in with an expectant gaze.

She was well aware of how important it was to follow a good master. A good master was the difference between spending the rest of their lives in this small city or having the opportunity to follow their Master in exploring the world.

Meanwhile, in the lobby of the house.

All the beast pets had broken down in tears after hearing An Lin’s recount.

“Waah… Celestial Maiden Xiaolan, you’re far too good to Big Brother An. A stupid c*nt like Big Brother An doesn’t deserve someone like you… woof!” Da Bai wailed as he wiped tears from his face.

“Waah… Master, if you dare to betray Xiaolan in the future, I’ll vanquish you in the name of the sun! Waah…” Xiao Hong warned An Lin in a sweet but menacing voice as she wiped away the dew flowing from her red petals with her green leaves.

“Big Brother An, if you dare to have an affair, I’ll give you a vasectomy with my staff!” Xiao Chou also had tears flowing freely from his lightbulb-like eyes as he gripped his staff in a rare display of ferocity.

“Hmph, Master, if you do anything bad to her, I’ll chop your d*ck off! Howl!” Even the White-Scaled Wolf God discarded his obedient facade as frost began to materialized on his sharp claws.

An Lin: “…”

So this was all the beast pets could think of after hearing his recount?

He was beginning to doubt whether these beast pets were actually his as his lower body shivered involuntarily.

Xu Xiaolan was quite amused by the reactions of the beast pets, and a beautiful smile blossomed on her face.

“Alright, Xiaolan is currently quite vulnerable, so I’ll constantly stay by her side to be her bodyguard.”

Xiao Hong jumped into Xu Xiaolan’s lap and announced this in her sweet voice.

“I’ll guard the house!” The White Scale Wolf God howled.

“Then I’ll be responsible for…” Da Bai scratched his head before saying, “I’ll be responsible for transporting Xiaolan! Woof!”

Xiao Chou racked his brains for a role he could play, but he couldn’t think of anything. In the end, he could only invent a role for himself. “I’ll be the lightbulb that lights up the night!”

An Lin almost blacked out after hearing this.

All of his beast pets had abandoned him for Xiaolan, but he could deal with this. But what was this about being a lightbulb 1?

“Alright, alright, you don’t have to do all that for me. I can just have Xiao Hong follow me around. If you do as you say, what is An Lin going to think? You should all take his feelings into consideration,” Xu Xiaolan dissuaded them with a smile.

“I’ll do whatever Celestial Maiden Xiaolan tells me, woof!” Da Bai replied obediently.

“Alright, tell me if you need anything,” Xiao Chou nodded and said.

“I don’t have anything to do anyway, I could just guard the house as I cultivate.” The White-Scaled Wolf God nodded in agreement.

An Lin: “…”

Thus, the beast pets settled down at the house.

The days quickly passed by in a mundane but busy blur.

The four seasons were initially a bit fearful of the beast pets, but they slowly warmed to them after discovering their cute sides.

For example, Xiao Hong would always sing unfamiliar songs in her beautiful voice, Da Bai was adorable, Xiao Chou was adorably ugly, and Little Lang would always howl to the moon…

On top of that, Xiao Hong could transform into an exquisitely beautiful female in a flaming red dress, Da Bai could turn into a miniature doggie, Xiao Chou could turn into a small but just as adorably ugly monkey, and Little Lang could walk on four legs like a wolf, or on his hind legs like a human…

The four maids felt as if a brand new door had been opened before their eyes, allowing them to catch a glimpse of the spectacular cultivation world for the first time.

Da Bai would accompany An Lin and Xu Xiaolan to the Lan Lin Medical Clinic every day, where he would then sprawl by the door to rest. This adorable yet imposing white dog soon became the mascot for the medical clinic, attracting many customers to the clinic.

An Lin’s pill refinement skills were also progressing very quickly, and he soon reached the Flame Mastery Pinnacle Stage.

At this moment, the system tried to meddle again by assigning a special mission. This mission involved kissing Da Bai in front of Xu Xiaolan in order to break through from the Flame Mastery Stage to the Wish Fulfilment Stage.

An Lin chuckled coldly upon seeing the condition. Trying to drive a wedge in my relationship with Xiaolan?

Keep dreaming!

Was he the type of person to risk losing his wife for breakthroughs? Besides, he could break through to Wish Fulfilment Stage through his own power anyway!

Furthermore, there was no punishment for failing the mission, and it was one that he could decline. Thus, he immediately ignored it.

Although life was quite mundane and ordinary, there was still a lot of joy to be derived.

For example, everyone would travel to the nearby desert in the west to hunt for mutant beasts.

Or An Lin would often whiz around on his brick with Xu Xiaolan as they traveled around in search of spectacular sceneries.

They would all play mahjong together every night, and the one who lost the most would be barred from eating the delicious food cooked by the frying pan.

Or for example, everyone would sit together to discuss what dish should be cooked using the frying pan that night.

On top of that, the White-Scaled Wolf God had been completely tamed by the power of the frying pan. He was clearly an ancient feral wolf, but he had been tamed to be even more obedient than Da Bai.

However, amid this peaceful lifestyle, An Lin was still constantly waiting for some news.

To his surprise, only a few days passed before Yi Xi delivered the news that he was waiting for.

Lightbulb is slang in China for third wheel. The analogy goes that a couple sits together in the dark, basking in a romantic atmosphere, but then a lightbulb suddenly lights up the darkness and ruins the mood.
