Chapter 985. Treasured Bottle (1/2)

The palace doors opened from the inside. Wang Lin smiled as he looked at the timid Ling Er and laughed. “What’s the matter for you to come here so early?”

After she saw Wang Lin come out, she let out a sigh of relief, then she patted her chest and quickly said, “Senior, the sunrise on planet Water Spirit is very beautiful. Ling Er wants to ask if Senior would like to see it.” As she spoke, her little face became red. Although Wang Lin was a senior, from her view, he didn’t look much older than her. Such an obvious invitation caused her heart to beat even faster.

After Wang Lin heard these words, the smile disappeared and he frowned.

Ling Er was observing Wang Lin’s expression, and when she saw Wang Lin frown, her heart fell into a pit. She just stood there, biting her lips and not knowing what to say.

“Lady Ling Er, I still have to cultivate. If you are afraid, I’ll have Ta Shan go with you.” Wang Lin’s eyes fell on Ta Shan and he calmly ordered, “Ta Shan, escort Lady Ling Er and keep her safe.”

After he finished speaking, he no longer looked at Ling Er and walked back toward the palace.

He wryly smiled in his heart. How could he not understand Ling Er’s meaning? Although it might be an exaggeration to call him an old monster, since he had only cultivated for a bit more than 1,000 years, calling him that was still fitting given his cultivation level.

Moreover, his actual age was more than 1,000 years old, which was far older than Ling Er. The only reason he was nice to her aside from her having a water spirit root was a senior being kind to a junior. There was no other meaning.

“Ling Er didn’t have any other meaning. I just want to see sunrise with Senior. Can’t Senior even agree to such a small request?” Ling Er’s eyes were crystal clear. She didn’t know why herself, but the moment she woke up, she wanted to find Wang Lin. She wanted to find the answer to her dream. She had a feeling she would get her answer from Wang Lin.

Wang Lin had his back toward Ling Er and he didn’t stop walking. He waved his sleeves and the door to the palace slowly closed.

“Senior, Ling Er wants to know about that giant that appeared last night. He… What is he…” Ling Er was about to step forth.

Ta Shan’s eyes lit up and he took a step forward. A ripple spread out and landed on Ling Er, pushing her back few dozen feet.

Ling Er’s cultivation level was not high, so as she retreated, her face turned pale. The spiritual energy in her body became unstable, and combined with her extreme anxiety and restless night, the spiritual energy inside her body went into complete chaos. Blood rushed up her throat and she coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Lin let out a sigh. He frowned as his body disappeared from inside the palace and he appeared next to her. He gently patted her back and sent origin energy into her body. Just a single cycle caused her spiritual energy to stabilize and her light injury was gone.

“You girl… Let’s go. This old man will accompany you to see the sunrise.” Wang Lin was helpless. Although he had some good will toward her, it wasn’t enough to affect his decision. The reason he went was because he saw that she really had some questions to ask him.

“Senior, you agree to Ling Er’s request?” Although Ling Er’s face was still pale, joy filled her big eyes. Her eyes shined and were extremely adorable.

“Only this once.” Wang Lin let out a sigh. He had only watched the sunrise and sunset with Li Muwan during her last years. It had become an eternal memory for Wang Lin. Since then, he hadn’t watched it with anyone else.

If there was anyone else, it was back in the Soul Refining Sect, where he and Liu Mei were separated by a wall yet they both watched the sunset.

Ling Er revealed a bright smile as she nodded and rang the bells on her wrist. A white dot came from the distance. It was a white crane that flew over and hovered over Ling Er.

Ling Er jumped onto the crane’s back. As for Wang Lin, how could he sit with a little girl on the back of a crane? He simply took a step and walked into the air.

While Ling Er was smiling, she patted the crane’s head and said, “Senior, follow Ling Er.” With that, the crane flew into the sky in a beautiful arc.

Wang Lin followed with a bitter smile and disappeared over the horizon.

Along the way, Ling Er was very happy and constantly laughed as the crane flew. The bells on her wrist continued to ring and fused with her laughter to form an almost a heavenly sound. It was very comfortable for Wang Lin to listen to.

Looking at Ling Er on the back of the crane, Wang Lin let out a sigh. He could see that she was truly happy. Aside from his childhood, he rarely had moments where he was as happy as this girl.

It didn’t take long for the crane to arrive at the very tall peak that pierced into the heavens. There were clouds surrounding the peak. A sliver of red from the rising sun touched the peak, making it a spectacularly beautiful scene.

The peak was hidden among the clouds and was filled with lush greenery. At a glance, it looked very natural.

There was a fluctuating darkness just behind the peak. That was the endless ocean of this planet.

The crane let out a cry as it went through the clouds and headed toward the peak. It didn’t take long for it to arrive at the peak and land.
