An Lin was in complete shock. It felt as if there were a group of mythological beasts stampeding in his heart.
My God! Chang’e wants to be in a relationship?
This was earth-shattering news! Imagine the sensation this would stir up within the Kingdom of the Nine States!!
He then suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
Did she say whether she wants to be in a relationship with a man or a woman?
This was a critical issue!
To An Lin, this issue was even more important than the news event itself.
Su Qianyun blinked with incomprehension as if she was finding it strange that An Lin was asking all these additional questions, but she still gave a serious reply.
Of course she’s looking for a man. If she was looking for a woman, she could just come to me.
Gasp!
An Lin inhaled in shock. Su Qianyun had provided too much information in that one sentence, he needed some time to process her words.
What did Su Qianyun mean when she said Chang’e could just come to her if she was looking for a woman? She spoke the words so naturally, but was there a hidden meaning behind her sentence? If Chang’e really was looking for a boyfriend, then this was shocking news! If this news traveled to the Heavenly Court, every man would probably go mad!
Right at this moment, Chang’e cast her gaze on An Lin.
Her eyes were rippling with emotion, causing An Lin to shudder involuntarily.
An Lin, would you take a stroll with me?
An Lin completely rooted to the spot.
Su Qianyun opened her eyes wide as she looked at Chang’e, then at An Lin.
She was naturally aware of the meaning behind Chang’e’s words, and it was exactly because of this that she was in complete and utter disbelief.
Yue Tu had obviously asked Su Qianyun the same question.
After learning of the context, an expression identical to An Lin’s appeared on its face as it also stood rooted to the spot, seemingly dumbfounded with shock.
Are you kidding me? Chang’e has never even been in a close relationship with another man, but now she wants a boyfriend!?
On top of that, what was this about asking An Lin to take a stroll with her? Was she looking for a Spirit Nurturing Stage sugar baby? If word of this was to reach the ears of the Daoist immortals in the Heavenly Court, they’d probably cough up blood in rage!
Chang’e stood up from her lounge chair and walked gracefully toward An Lin. Each and every one of her actions seemed to be smooth and choreographed, exuding a natural sense of beauty that enchanted the onlooker.
She seemed to find An Lin’s awestruck expression a little funny and chuckled lightly.
There’s no need to be so nervous.
Although her voice was still quite cold, it was no longer emotionless.
An Lin recovered from his shock and stared at the epitome of perfection standing in front him, unable to believe the situation he was in.
He suddenly realized…
That he could understand what Chang’ was saying!
Chang’e was repressing her hipster disease just so she could engage in a normal conversation with An Lin.
This notion made An Lin feel extremely flattered.
Come, take a stroll with me in the osmanthus forest.
Chang’e laid a hand on An Lin’s arm and the world around them began to warp.
In the next instant, they both appeared in the forest of osmanthus trees.
Is this teleportation?
An Lin’s pupils contracted drastically.
This was the first time he had ever seen anyone teleport so nonchalantly.
Normally, Return to Void Stage mighty figures had to tear a rift in space first before stepping through.
For Chang’e to be able to instantly teleport with a wave of her hand, this was something only a mighty figure at the pinnacle of spatial manipulation could manage.
Chang’e closed her eyes lightly and inhaled deeply. Her eyelashes trembled lightly under the glow of the moon like a fluttering butterfly.
Hmm… what a lovely scent! This is the time when the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom.
She smiled lightly and began to stroll around the forest with An Lin in tow.
An Lin couldn’t help but blush lightly at the feeling of Chang’e’s hand in his.
An Lin, Xiao Yue has gained over a kilogram of weight from the snacks you brought here. In the past, she was always too concerned about her figure to indulge herself, who would have thought your snacks would make her completely cave in.
An Lin recovered from his daze and chuckled lightly.
Hehe, you should send Xiao Yue to me some time, I can walk her for you.
Really? She’s always in the Moon Palace with me and never exercises. It would be great if you could take her for a walk at your university from time to time.
No problem, but you have to confiscate her jade pestle first. I still have PTSD from that thing…
Haha, Xiao Yue has mentioned the story about you in the past. She said you’re too dumb and needs to be knocked on the head regularly to become more intelligent.
An Lin:
…
Thus, the two of them strolled together in the moonlit forest, chatting freely.
The feeling Chang’e gave him was she was no longer the high and mighty leader of the Moon Palace, but instead just a warm and approachable woman.
A light breeze flew by, sweeping up a few strands of Chang’e’s luscious hair, blowing the light enchanting scent of osmanthus flowers toward An Lin.
She raised a hand and a white flower petal flew toward her in the wind and settled in her palm.
Chang’e looked at the pristine white petal with a smile on her face.
This is the time when all the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. The petals are good enough to be turned into tea leaves or to be used for making osmanthus mooncakes.
An Lin was greatly intrigued by her words.
You know how to make osmanthus mooncakes?
Chang’e raised her chin with a proud expression.
Of course! The mooncakes I make are some of the best under the heavens. If you’re interested, I can make a few osmanthus mooncakes for you.
That would be great!
An Lin nodded in reply.
Chang’e was the leader of the Moon Palace, the mooncakes she made could be real
moon
cakes!
Just the notion itself was enough to bring a smile to An Lin’s face. He could bring out the mooncakes and flex to everyone else: you guys can only look up at the moon when making mooncakes, whereas my mooncakes are personally made by Chang’e, who resides on the moon herself!
Chang’e couldn’t help but chuckle lightly at An Lin’s quick response.
He probably didn’t even know just what an honor this was…
One had to realize that within the Heavenly Court, a mooncake made by Chang’e herself was a priceless object comparable in value to at least one immortal pill!
However, Chang’e had no intention of disclosing this to An Lin.
It was extremely rare for her to meet a person with such thick skin, so she didn’t want to ruin their conversation with unnecessary nuances.
All the Immortals in the Heavenly Court looked upon her with eyes that practically glowed, their scorching gazes were a huge turnoff for her.
However, this Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator beside her completely bucked the trend. Although he was initially entranced by her looks, he soon rediscovered his natural personality and began to stroll and chat with her as if she was just another normal woman.
I feel very relaxed interacting with you. I’m not sure if this is a so-called
date
as I believe it’s known as on Earth, but to be honest, I don’t dislike this sort of feeling,
Chang’e said.
An Lin replied with a teasing chuckle,
Don’t dislike equals like in my books.
Chang’e smiled lightly as she looked at An Lin with her bright rippling eyes.
Her smile was the epitome of beauty, and for an instant, it seemed to become the center of the universe as An Lin’s heart skipped a beat.
An Lin inhaled deeply and only managed to come to his senses after a long time.
Her extreme beauty coupled with that enchanting smile was simply too destructive a package, An Lin was almost killed by her beauty!
There’s a research report on Earth which states that a man can lengthen his lifespan by regularly looking at beautiful women. After seeing your smile, I feel like I’m now immortal!
An Lin exclaimed in marvel.
Huh? Did you dip your lips in osmanthus honey? How shameless of you!
Chang’e retorted An Lin’s compliments with her words, but for some reason, she did not actually feel any displeasure at his words.
She released An Lin’s hand and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
Thus concludes our game of boyfriend-girlfriend! You are the first man that I have ever gone on a date with and you might well also be the last, so you should be proud of that!
An Lin nodded with a serious expression, clearly very much in agreement with Chang’e’s statement.
Can I boast about this to my friends?
This was a date with the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Court, for God’s sake! He even held her hand; he could boast about this for a hundred years!
Chang’e chuckled grimly.
You can boast about this to anyone you like, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you really do spread word of this, every male in the Heavenly Court would probably instantly become your enemy.
An Lin faltered slightly at her words before a chill ran down his spine.
Her words… definitely rang true!
If he wanted to continue to exist in the Heavenly Court, he absolutely had to keep this a secret!
I don’t dislike being with you, but as expected, it’s still much more stimulating being with Su Qianyun, and I’m extremely happy when I’m with her as well…
Chang’e spoke with a sad expression.
It seems like I’m beyond salvation…
An Lin’s lips twitched slightly, but he remained silent. He didn’t know how and he didn’t dare to respond.
He had speculated that there was an ulterior motive behind Chang’e’s decision to look for a male suitor, and that was that she wanted to correct her sexual orientation, or experience what a relationship with the opposite sex would be like.
It appeared now that the former was indeed Chang’e’s objective, but unfortunately, her efforts ended in failure.
By the way, do you know why I sacrificed so much to save you back then?
Chang’e suddenly changed the topic of conversation to one that An Lin was extremely curious about.
This was a question that had perplexed him for a long time. He had a feeling that there were some complex circumstances involved.
An Lin’s interest was immediately piqued.
Why?
