A Smile Like a Flower (4,000 Words, Combined)

Brother Jiang!

"Brother Jiang, wait a moment!"

"Brother Jiang, please wait!"

"Brother Jiang."

Just as Jiang Lin left the Sun Moon Sect's Sect Protecting Formation and galloped away on horseback, two people, a pig, and a bird flew over from behind.

Jiang Lin in the horse formed from his Spiritual Power and slowly turned around. "What's wrong with you? Did you come to see me off?"

"Of course... Brother Jiang... since you're on a mission, it's only natural for us brothers to come and see you off," Jiji Bo said, panting heavily.

Jiang Lin smiled and looked at them, "Stop talking nonsense. I've been on so many missions before, and I've never seen you guys deliver anything."

"Well..." Fang Chaoqun scratched the back of Wu Ke's head, "I heard that Brother Jiang's trip to Donglin City was somewhat dangerous. We've come to see him off."

Wu Ke swatted away Fang Chaoqun's hand, took out a Golden Lotus, and smiled, "Brother Jiang, this Golden Lotus was grown by myself. It has miraculous effects in treating cuts, blows, internal injuries, and sword wounds."

"Wu Ke, are you fertilizing yourself?"

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang! I've washed this lotus flower thoroughly!" Wu Ke said, wiping the lotus flower on his clothes. "Brother Jiang, if you don't believe me, smell it; it still has a fragrance."

"Never mind... I'll accept it." Jiang Lin took out a strip of cloth, wrapped it around the lotus flower, and put it into his Storage Bag.

"Hehehe, actually... Brother Jiang, I have another request."

"I know, we should find a woman named Cuihua, right?"

"It's a lotus flower..."

"Okay, I'll definitely tell you when I find you."

"Then thank you, Brother Jiang."

"But Wu Ke, every time we go on a mission you tell us to keep an eye out. It would be much better if you went looking for them yourself than if you stayed cooped up in the Sun Moon Sect."

"Oh, Brother Jiang, you don't understand. Everything is predestined."

"..."

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, Old Wang next door is making counterfeit bellybands for us. What should we do?"

"It's alright. Old Wang's family is very strict. He just wants to save some money on the side, which is understandable. Go tell Old Wang that I'm planning to expand my women's business and ask him if he wants to join in."

"OK!"

"Brother Jiang, my wife went to find Old Cow, what should I do, I'm panicking..." As he spoke, Jiji Bo Jiji Bo a bag of pig feed into Jiang Lin. "This feed is my unique formula, it's invigorating and filling. If you're starving, Brother Jiang, you can eat it."

"Get the hell out of here!" Jiang Lin raised the feed as if to throw it away.

But then I thought about it, Jiji Bo family's feed is indeed very famous. What if we encounter a pig demon? Maybe we can use that to lure it away!

He put the feed into the Storage Bag: "Jiji Bo, I don't think Old Cow likes your wife."

"Brother Jiang, why do you say that! What's wrong with my wife? She has a big belly and big ears! She weighs over 400 pounds! Why doesn't that Minotaur like my wife!"

"..." Jiang Lin's brows twitched. "Jiji Bo get excited. Old Cow is a pretty honest guy. He even blushed when he asked me to buy Cow Auntie from next door. How could he possibly like your wife?"

"So, Brother Jiang, what do you mean?"

"Jiji Bo, think about whether you've done anything wrong lately. Your wife might be angry, maybe she's doing it on purpose to upset you."

Jiji Bo his chin with his Big Pig Trotter, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother Jiang, this is my newly grown fine hair. It can grow big or small. You can use it as a blanket when it's cold, or as an ear pick when your ears itch. Brother Jiang don't find it unpleasant." Diao Great General plucked a hair from under his armpit and handed it to Jiang Lin.

"Speak, what is it this time?"

Jiang Lin took the fur from him and put it into his Storage Bag.

"Um... Tou Ying has been getting very close to an eagle named Ying Bi lately, Brother Jiang, my heart aches so much."

"That's easy. Eagle is a total jerk. Quite a few females have been fooled by him without even realizing it. Go find out which females Eagle has been close to recently, and then you can interfere."

Suddenly, Diao Da realized, "So that's how it is!"

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I really have to go now. When I get back, let's play another exciting Flying Chess!"

"Farewell, Brother Jiang!"

The two men, the pig, and the bird bowed respectfully, and Jiang Lin also bowed before mounting his horse and galloping into the distance...

Only after Jiang Lin disappeared from everyone's sight did the two people, the pig, and the bird slowly turn their attention away.

Wu Ke bent his elbow and poked the Diao Da.

"Wu Ke, what are you doing?"

Wu Ke stroked his chin. "Do you think Brother Jiang might have already been harboring suspicions about our true identities?"

"Well... who knows?" Jiji Bo grinned and scratched the pig bristles on his head.

Fang Chaoqun also smiled and said, "But let alone having suspicions, even if Brother Jiang knew, do you think Brother Jiang would care about such things?"

"That's true..."

The Diao Da nodded his chin.

"Perhaps to Brother Jiang, no matter who we are, we are currently just minor cultivators at the Cave Mansion Realm."

"Hey hey hey, we have the same odors, like a nest of snakes and rats." Jijibo on the side wiped his nose and said with a smile.

As a result, the two humans and the bird slowly turned their heads and pressed him down in mid-air, rubbing him against the ground...

As Jiang Lin traveled further and further away, he suddenly had an idea: he transformed his Spiritual Energy Horse into a Ferrari, and then attached an automatic navigation ball designed by the Mo Family Cultivator Xiao Hei according to his own requirements to the front of the "Ferrari".

Adjusting the seat and lying down, Jiang Lin felt incredibly comfortable...

Just like Diao Da and the others said, the Sun Moon Sect has so many seemingly ordinary "ordinary people," but so what? I only know them now, and that's enough.

"Sigh... I'd better hurry up and finish this mission to go back to the church." As he lay there, Jiang Lin suddenly thought of Little Niannian.

It's been over an hour since I last touched Little Niannian's head... I feel so sad...

"Mommy, I miss Daddy."

At the Twin Pearl Peak of the Sun Moon Sect, Little Niannian sat in Jiang Yuni's arms, her tail drooping listlessly. The little girl's eyes gazed longingly at the sky where her father had left.

"Mommy misses Daddy too, but Daddy will be back soon, Little Niannian, don't worry." Jiang Yuni kissed Niannian on the head and smiled. "Niannian, it's time for your afternoon nap. How about you practice swordsmanship with Mommy this afternoon?"

"Yes, yes, when Daddy comes back, Niannian will definitely practice her sword skills well to make Daddy happy."

"Good boy/girl."

Gently picking up Little Niannian and carrying her back to the thatched hut, she sang the song "Two Tigers" that Jiang Lin had taught her. Her sweet voice slowly filled the quiet and peaceful hut.

Dragons go through a period of excessive sleepiness when they are young. Soon, Little Niannian's eyelids began to droop. After the eight tigers lost their ears, Little Niannian gently gripped the blanket with her little hands and made steady breathing sounds.

Looking at the rosy-cheeked girl lying on the bed, Jiang Yuni's eyes lit up. "So cute! I want to have a daughter with Little Lin too, so Little Niannian will have a little sister."

Jiang Yuni bent down and kissed Little Niannian's pink cheek. He gently put Niannian's tail back into the quilt, cast Soundproofing Array, and then walked slowly out of the Thatched Cottage.

As soon as he stepped out of the thatched hut, he saw Fang Ruo slowly descending. He bowed and said, "Fang Ruo greets the Sect Leader."

Why are you here?

In an instant, Jiang Yuni's long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, reaching her waist. Fang Ruo a head shorter than Fang Ruo, she suddenly became half a head Fang Ruo. With her slender figure and black eyes like clear black agate, her aloof demeanor gave off a sense of distance, making her seem unapproachable.

"Oh, Jiang Lin asked me for a bottle of Mountain Spirit Repellent before he left. He said that some flower spirits on Twin Pearl Peak have formed and can absorb vital energy."

As she spoke, Fang Ruo looked at Jiang Yuni with a half-smile and shook the potion in her hand.

"I wonder if it will be the Sect Leader who uses it, or if I will do it in his place to drive away the flower spirits?"

"I can do it myself." The woman in the long black dress, with a cool and aloof demeanor, took the weed killer from Fang Ruo's hand.

"Oh, the sect leader's face is a little flushed. Is he sick?"

"Fang Ruo! You're back again! You're asking for it!"

"Master, I was wrong... I was so wrong..."

Before the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him could strike with her small hand, Fang Ruo took a light step forward.

Jiang Yuni, stopped chasing after her always unreliable best friend. Her eyes gradually turned serious, even carrying a chilling, murderous glint. "Little Lin go to Donglin City this time because of the Dugu Demonic Sect?"

Fang Ruo's smile gradually faded, "It should be, but Little Lin didn't say much."

"Hmph! The Dugu Demonic Sect."

Jiang Yuni snorted coldly, flicked her long sleeves, and a Icy Sword Qi ripped through the sky, breaking through the clouds, as if it were about to cleave the sun and moon.

The Chen Manor.

A girl looked up at the sky, staring blankly for a long time without looking away.

"Everyone else has left, why are you still looking?"

The girl's mother walked over and gently tapped her daughter's forehead. Behind her lay Chen Huo, lying motionless on a stretcher...

"Mother, I want to go to Donglin City too!"

The girl named Chen Jia bit her lip and clutched her mother's sleeve.

"No!"

"But that beast..."

"On the path of cultivation, one bears the responsibility for one's own life and death; we Martial Warrior all know this principle, let alone the Sword Cultivator who possess the strongest killing power."

Mother Chen stroked the girl's hair.

"Don't worry, although that kid is quite unreliable, if something really happens to him, I think it'll be difficult for him. Just focus on preparing for next year's Sect Martial Arts Competition; Jiang Lin should be there too."

With a gentle bite to her red lips, the girl raised her head and looked up at the horizon once more, her thoughts drifting away...

"Hey! What's your name?"

"I... my Little Jia, the 'jia' in 'marrying'."

"Oh, Jiarenjia, Xiaojia, my name is Jiang Lin, Jiang as in Jiang Lin, Lin as in Jiang Lin."

"What... what are you doing in my yard... are you a thief?"

"How could that be? Xiao Jia, have you ever seen a thief as handsome as me?"

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Do it... why not?"

"???"

"Holy crap, don't hit me! No, don't bite me! I just came here to hide from my enemy... Ah..."

"Hey, Jiang Lin, play games with me."

What to play?

"Play house."

"Well..."

"What? Is it not allowed?"

"It's not impossible, okay, let's play then."

"We have a daughter now," the girl said happily, hugging a plush toy.

Our daughter seems a little ugly.

What are you saying!

"No, no, no, it's beautiful, really beautiful."

"Then let's choose a name."

The boy thought for a moment and said, "How about we name her An'an?"

"An'an? Why?"

The boy looked at the flat rag doll, stroked his chin, and said, "Safe and Sound, how wonderful."

"An'an?"

The girl thought for a moment, then nodded happily:

"Okay, let's call her An'an."

Still looking up at the sky, the girl, gradually emerging from her thoughts, gazed in the direction he had left.

Her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

Dragon Gate Sect.

"Senior sister, please say something..."

"Senior sister, the ancestor said he was wrong; Senior Brother Jiang Lin did not ascend the Adult's Stairway."

"Senior sister, please eat something... You haven't eaten for half a month."

"Yes, Senior Sister, although you can completely Bigu, Junior Brother Jiang said that the human body needs to replenish amino acids and proteins..."

"Yeah, senior sister, how could that straight guy, Junior Brother Jiang, possibly lose his virginity? You have to believe in Junior Brother Jiang's ability to remain single forever."

"That's right, that's right. Junior Brother Jiang invited me for drinks, and I deliberately got drunk, waiting for Junior Brother Jiang to do something to me. But Junior Brother Jiang was draw a turtle on my face. How could such a fool lose his virginity?"

"Senior sister..."

Outside the mountain's barrier, many disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect came to persuade their senior sister.

Ever since the day the patriarch said that Junior Brother Jiang Lin had lost his virginity, Senior Sister was in a bad mood. She gripped her long sword tightly and was about to rush outside, but in the end, Grandmaster and Grandmaster Mother forcibly pulled her back and then confined her to her own mountain peak.

"Never mind, let me do it..."

"Grandmaster..."

"Grandmaster, it's all your fault!" a female cultivator from the Dragon Gate Sect pouted.

"Yes, Grandmaster, if you hadn't spoken so carelessly, Senior Sister wouldn't be so heartbroken!"

"Last time, Grandmaster, you even took Junior Brother Jiang to learn the local dialect!"

"That's right! Grandmaster, you even dragged Junior Brother Jiang to the Women's Bathhouse last time!"

"..."

Outside the cave, many female disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect were blaming their patriarch, Dragon Gate Sect Old Ancestor was also quite embarrassed, scratching his head repeatedly.

To be honest, I'm worried too...

Jiang Lin returned to the Demon Sect, and Qingwan is also troubled by love. Why are my two most promising juniors so troublesome...?

The Dragon Gate Sect Old Ancestor entered the barrier, cleared his throat, descended the mountain peak, and knocked on the door.

"Qingwan... actually... it was indeed my mistake. Jiang Lin is definitely still just a little kid. Don't worry, you know I like to talk big... That Jiang Lin showed me some bathing medicine for Martial Warrior, he must want to practice his fist techniques. I misjudged him because he hurt his back. If you don't believe me, Qingwan, I'll swear to the heavens... I..."

Thump!

Before the ancestor could finish speaking, a sword light shot straight up, breaking through the wooden house, shattering the clouds and mist, and even piercing through the binding magic array.

A flash of sword light, and a graceful woman with flowing long hair landed lightly on the ground, sword in hand.

Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes at her ancestor but didn't say anything more.

After the barrier was broken, the junior brothers and sisters who were in the air above the mountain slowly landed, some of them sweating profusely.

Qin Xiao wiped his face. "Ancestor, please stop trying to summon fours. Even summoning fives won't work. Did Junior Brother Jiang teach you that four-summoning move...?"

"..."

The old ancestor blushed, as if he were about to make another excuse.

Lin Qingwan waved her hand. "Alright, Grandmaster, there's no need to say anything more. After so many days, Qingwan has figured it out."

"Hmm, you've really figured it out?" The old ancestor was startled. Had this stubborn girl seen through the illusions of the world?

"Yes, I've figured it out!"

Lin Qingwan said calmly.

"I believe Junior Brother Jiang wouldn't be so ungrateful! Some vixen must have used dirty tricks on him!"

I'm going to Donglin City! I'm going to protect Little Lin! No vixen will ever get close to Little Lin again!
