Chapter 450: The Probation Period for Taoist Companions (It’s Finished… It’s Not Finished!)
The shadows of the two were stretched long by the afterglow of the setting sun.
An Lin felt Xu Xiaolan's soft and warm lips, and a feeling called happiness surged into his heart.
If I have to describe it, it's a little sweet.
If I have to describe it again, it's sweet to the heart, and the whole person is a little intoxicated and forgetful.
Neither of them had any experience in kissing, and the kiss lasted for a relatively short time before they separated shyly.
Xu Xiaolan lowered her head slightly, and a blush appeared on her beautiful and fair face, which was more beautiful than the sunset in the sky.
"Xiaolan, all this feels like a dream. I didn't expect you to really become my Taoist partner. I must have saved the world in my last life." An Lin smiled happily, and his eyes reflected the beautiful face of the woman.
"Taoist partner? What Taoist partner?" Xu Xiaolan blinked her bright eyes.
An Lin was stunned, and said nervously: "You just kissed me... Isn't that what you meant?"
Xu Xiaolan shook her head seriously: "No, it's just... just a reward for your kindness!"
Boom!
An Lin was like being struck by lightning, he was completely stunned and stood there, the sky was falling.
Was he rejected?
He finally showed his courage once, but in the end he still had to compete with Dabai for dog food?
Seeing An Lin's distraught look, Xu Xiaolan curled her lips and said, "Other people propose with flowers and rings, but you are a cultivator, and you ask someone to be your Taoist partner but you have nothing. Do you want to get something for nothing?"
An Lin's eyes immediately regained their spirits when he heard this, so this is what he meant!
He immediately took out the goodies in the ring and said excitedly: "Xiaolan, this is the immortal weapon Boundary Breaking Nail, this is the Victory Oath Shield for self-defense; this is the ancient relic Ocean Heart, it looks pretty when worn; this is the first-grade immortal grass Tongyou Grass, it can beautify."
An Lin thought for a while and took out the frying pan again: "The dishes cooked in this pot are very delicious, I'll give it to you too!"
Xu Xiaolan: "..."
She shook her head and said: "Actually, I didn't mean that, I just said it casually, just teasing..."
An Lin seemed to have suffered another critical hit, his heart was full of panic and loss, and he stared at Xu Xiaolan blankly.
Looking at the man in front of him who looked a little lost, Xu Xiaolan smiled with spring breeze in her eyes and said: "I'm not rejecting you, what I mean is... it's too early to be a Taoist couple, I need to set a probation period... well, like Shenyin and Dongfang Ming, a period of one hundred years. If we still love each other after a hundred years, we will become Taoist couples!"
The soft and pleasant voice echoed on the street and flowed into An Lin's heart.
An Lin was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and replied: "Okay, then let's do it for a hundred years. I will definitely hand in an answer sheet that will satisfy you."
Xu Xiaolan smiled like a flower and nodded gently: "Well, I believe you!"
How could An Lin not know Xu Xiaolan's thoughts? The life span of mortals is only about a hundred years. During the hundred-year probation period, Xu Xiaolan's final results can only be two: either she will perish and turn into a pile of yellow earth. Or she will be able to practice again, so that she can be An Lin's Taoist partner with peace of mind.
An Lin didn't care much about Xu Xiaolan's insistence, because no matter what the result of the hundred years is, he will always be with the woman in front of him.
The sun has sunk into the horizon, and there is still a faint afterglow in the Gobi Desert in the west. The stars are already hanging high in the night sky, embellishing the night. The scenery of the alternation of the sun and the moon in Xixia City is also surprisingly beautiful.
Xu Xiaolan has been here for a few days, and she has not yet appreciated such a beautiful scenery.
Now, she really had the heart to appreciate the beauty of Xixia City, not with sadness, but with joy. That kind of scenery was really beautiful!
She held An Lin's hand, walked lightly, and slowly returned to her own courtyard.
The warmth of her palm made her feel at ease.
Xu Xiaolan looked at the beautiful colors of the sky and smiled slightly.
She finally fell in love with this ancient city, because of a person who reappeared in her life, she fell in love with Xixia City.
…
An Lin came to the house that Xu Xiaolan had just purchased, which looked very good.
The plaque above the gate had the words "Lanlin Courtyard", which seemed to have just been hung.
Xu Xiaolan blushed slightly when she saw An Lin's gaze, and quickly pulled An Lin into the house.
"Master, you are back! I just finished cooking four dishes, uh... there are guests coming, do you need to add a little more?" A girl with a pretty face came up timidly, and when she saw Xu Xiaolan holding An Lin's hand, her expression was slightly startled, and then she spoke.
"No, Xiaoqiu, you go down first." Xu Xiaolan smiled.
The girl was stunned again, then nodded and said, "Yes, master."
The girl withdrew and came to the corridor of the house, and gathered with the other three girls.
Xu Xiaolan recruited a total of four maids in this yard, with an average age of about sixteen. They were all girls from poor families, with good character and appearance.
I don't know if it was infected by An Lin, Xu Xiaolan also gave the maids nicknames casually, naming them in the order of Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, Xiaoqiu, and Xiaodong, but this is better than the original names of the maids.
After all, the original maids' names were Liu Chunniang and Ma Dongmei, which looked very rustic.
Xiaoqiu came to the side of the other three maids, with a look of shock and excitement in her eyes.
"Xiaoqiu, who is that man? What is his relationship with the master? With white hair and handsome face, he must be a master with extraordinary strength." Xiaochun's eyes sparkled and she spoke first.
Xiaoqiu shook her head: "I don't know. Seeing how close they are, he should be the master's partner, right?"
Xiaoxia was also very excited: "I think so too. The master has been depressed these two days, but when that young man came, the master regained his brilliance. This is the first time I saw the master smile!"
"The master is so beautiful, only such a man with such temperament can match her." Xiaodong nodded repeatedly.
Xiaoxia looked at An Lin walking into the courtyard room, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "White hair, graceful as jade... Hey, do you think that young man is Jiang Yanan from Zixingzhou?!"
The other three maids were all stunned when they heard this.
They were born in poverty, and one of their few hobbies was to read the Chronicles of Nine Provinces and read the interesting stories and legendary figures in it. They would subscribe to every issue of Chronicles of Nine Provinces. They were naturally familiar with the well-known name Jiang Yanan.
"No way, we know that the master is very good, but Jiang Yanan is the first sword genius in Zixingzhou and a famous top immortal in Jiuzhou. How could he come to this remote place and be with a mortal?" Xiaochun shook his head, obviously disagreeing with this guess.
"That's right, don't think of Jiang Yanan when you see a young man with white hair and extraordinary temperament. Do you think that legendary sword immortal is so easy to see?" Xiaoqiu also glanced at Xiaoxia.
Xiaoxia pouted her lips: "Even if he is not Jiang Yanan, he must be very powerful. Look at his elegant appearance, he walks so handsomely, he must be a powerful immortal..."
"Hey, why don't we go to the dining hall to see who the young man is. Anyway, it's the duty of the maids to wait in the wing room." Xiaodong's face had a gossipy look.
The eyes of the four maids all lit up, and they hit it off and walked towards the wing room.
