I Was a Proper Person

The powerful sword energy and the dense Giant Dragon Luck shone down on Jiang Lin like a sudden Sudden Enlightenment.

Within Jiang Lin's Dantian, the Golden Core seemed to be faintly visible.

Gathering Qi, Solidifying Spirit, and Forming Core.

Everything was done in one smooth motion.

For any Golden Core Realm, the three steps should be spaced out with a reasonable amount of time before moving on to the next step.

But Bai Ling had never seen such a scene before.

Although the Golden Core Realm of the demon race only has one step— the Gathering Qi stage—I've at least read some ancient texts about human cultivators.

However, all three steps of this human's Golden Core were completed in an instant.

Is there really no problem with this Golden Core Realm?

And how old is Jiang Lin now?

He must be only twenty years old, yet he has already entered the Golden Core Age of Weak Crown. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely enter the Nascent Soul within a hundred years.

On the boulder, Jiang Lin slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with gold, as if gold had been melted and cast into his eye sockets, even revealing a golden radiance. Within that radiance, there seemed to be faint lightning, as if he were a god, exuding majesty.

With just one glance, the little Little Fox were so frightened that they clung tightly to their sister Bai Ling's leg, their Xiao Xiao bodies trembling incessantly, their fluffy fox ears and tails waving nervously.

"Jiang Lin?"

Looking at Jiang Lin sitting cross-legged on that strangely shaped boulder, Bai Ling tentatively called out, beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

Compared to his usual self, he looked completely unfamiliar now.

The dragon Dragon Race Luck in the White Emperor City palace gradually receded and dissipated with the Icy Cold Sword Qi.

The golden light in Jiang Lin's eyes gradually faded, and his aura gradually subsided.

As if waking from a deep dream, Jiang Lin's eyes gradually returned to normal, regaining their luster.

"... Why are you all keeping so far away from me...? I'm not a bad person..."

Seeing Bai Ling standing warily to one side, with four or five little white fox girls huddled trembling beside her, Jiang Lin took out a few Lollipop:

Want some candy?

After an incense stick had burned, Jiang Lin sat on the lawn, cleansing his sword with his inner energy while stroking the tails of several little white fox girls.

They sat beside Jiang Lin, licking Lollipop, their happy eyes crinkling into crescent moons, as if Root of Affection trembling they had just experienced from being frightened by the man beside them had never happened.

"You've Golden Core Realm?"

Looking at Jiang Lin, Bai Ling blinked and asked.

Perhaps even Bai Ling didn't know why, even though the other party was just an outsider, and a filthy human at that.

But the moment he woke up and sat beside me, it seemed that my restless heart had gradually calmed down.

It seems that as long as he's there, I don't have to worry about anything...

He was clearly only at the Golden Core Realm...

"I guess so... This is my first time entering the Golden Core Realm, so I can't really explain it, but there is definitely a Golden Core formed by Spiritual Power in my Dantian. I've been in seclusion for a few days?"

It's the 18th.

"The engagement banquet is the day after tomorrow, right? By the way, how is Jiu Yi doing?"

Hearing the man in front of her call out her master's name directly, Bai Ling was slightly startled. If it were any other time, she would have pounced on him and scratched him.

But for some reason, looking at his face, although it seemed no different from usual, still so sleazy, it carried a different kind of emotion.

"After you entered the pass, the master also did not wake up for eighteen days..."

"I see... Looks like we need to activate Plan B."

In Jiang Lin's plan, the Engagement Banquet was divided into two plans: one with Bai Jiu Yi attending and Bai Jiu Yi without.

Of course, Bai Jiu Yi had to shed her Sand Sculpture Beauty persona before attending the engagement banquet.

Otherwise, with Bai Jiu Yi in her silly mode constantly clinging to him and acting all cute in front of all the other lords... who could resist that?

"Plan?"

"Um... it means the backup plan. Don't worry, I'll handle it. You go ahead and get busy. I need to go and examine Jiu Yi later."

Bai Ling stood up. "I'm warning you! Even though Master is unconscious now, if you dare to do anything to him, Bai Qiao and I will bite you to death!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm a respectable person."

"Hmph! You beast!"

After cursing Jiang Lin, Bai Ling left with several little fox girls.

Being called a beast by a fox... I don't know why, but it feels pretty strange... It's like your cat suddenly turning into a beautiful girl and then yelling "Baka hentai urusai" at you...

The sword was washed for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

When Jiang Lin put away First Snow, he noticed that there were faint cracks on First Snow body, like the cracks in ice.

Jiang Lin was startled.

For Sword Cultivator, their Natal Flying Sword needs to have its Sword Body replaced after reaching the Dragon Gate Realm. Otherwise, as the Sword Cultivator's realm increases, the original Sword Body of the Natal Flying Sword will not be able to withstand the pressure and will collapse.

Therefore, this phenomenon is common.

The problem is, the cracking should only begin at the Nascent Soul Realm... I'm only at the Dragon Gate Realm right now...

"Could it be because the battles during the Empty Spirit Sect competition were too numerous and intense, Sword Body couldn't withstand the strain?"

Regardless, I need to move up the timeline for forging the First Snow Sword myself.

As for going to the Extremely Cold Continent to find the original Sword Body of First Snow, Jiang Lin felt that he still couldn't go yet. Before he entered the Nascent Soul, he felt that the risks were just too great.

"First Snow, you've suffered a bit first. Don't worry, after I Sword Body forging the Frost Sword for Master, I'll buy you a new house, a villa by the sea."

Holding First Snow in his arms, Jiang Lin stroked the hilt of his sword, as if giving First Snow a gentle head pat.

However, First Snow wouldn't have it. She flew directly into Jiang Lin's acupoint and kept causing trouble, like a sulking girlfriend.

That's just how it is! Who exactly is your Natal Flying Sword? I can understand that you're your master! But I'm still unhappy!

After a while of this, Jiang Lin felt dizzy and nauseous, and his Spiritual Power was in disarray. Jiang Lin kept begging for mercy. Finally, First Snow let out a soft sword hum, as if she were humming and turning her head away, saying, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Jiang Lin felt quite guilty about First Snow's little tantrum, but there was nothing he could do; he was poor...

However, I believe that the First Snow is the most understanding!

Thinking this to herself, First Snow, who naturally knew Jiang Lin's thoughts, caused another bout of trouble, but it was much milder than before, and the duration was also much shorter.

As expected, the First Snow was all talk and no action.

Then... after another round of commotion, Jiang Lin almost fainted...

Just as Jiang Lin was rolling around on the grass begging for mercy from First Snow, in the palace of White Emperor City, a stunningly beautiful woman slowly opened her eyes.

Unlike her previous innocent and lovely eyes, the woman's eyes now held a chilling coldness, tinged with a hint of allure.
