I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1941: I See You As My Dao Partner, But You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin wiped the drool from Little Xiaolan's chin expressionlessly.

He didn't know why Xu Xiaolan had become like this, and he didn't know if she could ever revert back to her original form. All he could do now was to accept and love Xiaolan for who she was no matter what she became.

An Lin turned to the female infant in his arms with this in mind.

"Waah!" The infant spread open her arms, revealing her tiny, nude body in its entirety for him to see.

Tears welled up in An Lin's eyes.

For f*ck's sake!

Are the gods forcing me to become a pedophile?!

How was he supposed to see this baby as his dao partner?!

This was Xiaolan, but this was one-year-old Xiaolan!

Did he have to make the transition from romantic love to paternal love?

An Lin really wanted to throw up blood.

Why was this happening?

Phoenixes did rise from the ashes, but why had Xiaolan risen as a baby?

What the hell was going on?

An Lin was struck by a sense of absurdity at the sight of all of the Vermilion Birds kneeling to the ground and hailing their Great Empress.

Did they not care that their Great Empress Vermilion Bird was a human? Furthermore, she was a little baby that couldn't even articulate intelligible words!

However, the Vermilion Bird Tribe was more loyal than An Lin had imagined.

Once they accepted something, they would follow it until the bitter end.

The perfect representatives of this were the six blabbermouth Vermilion Birds.

Vermilion Bird You Luo was still yelling at the top of its lungs, "Oh! What a beautiful baby! Great Empress Vermilion Bird's pure and flawless body is the embodiment of her pure and flawless heart!"

Vermilion Bird Tian Jin chimed in, "She has been born in an infantile state, which means that she is starting anew and bringing new hope to our entire tribe! She is our most revered Great Empress Vermilion Bird!"

Vermilion Bird Bing Xin wore a scorching expression. "Great Empress Vermilion Bird, we'll protect you with our lives and make sure you come to no harm in your current, vulnerable state!"

Vermilion Bird Nan Li spoke in an urgent voice, "Great Empress Vermilion Bird is currently in a very vulnerable state and requires a guardian to look after her and speak on her behalf. I nominate Master An Lin, what do you all think?"

Vermilion Bird Huan Jun nodded with approval and excitement. "That's a great idea! Master An Lin is very close to the Great Empress, and he is the embodiment of wisdom and power! His bloodline is extremely regal, and he forced back three Gods of Creation, thereby rescuing our entire Vermilion Bird Tribe! He is the perfect candidate! I concur!"

Vermilion Bird Tai Jing flapped its wings. "I also concur!"

An Lin's lips twitched.

Regal bloodline? Rescued the Vermilion Bird Tribe?

Had they forgotten about how they had renounced him for his inferior bloodline and the heinous crimes he had committed against the Vermilion Bird Tribe? They sure were bringing out the antonyms!

High Priest Hong Wu had the final say. "I also concur!"

Hundreds of thousands of Vermilion Birds expressed their agreement in unison.

"We concur with the suggestion of the six Vermilion Bird Sages!"

"We concur with the suggestion of the six Vermilion Bird Sages!"

"We nominate Master An Lin as the Vermilion Bird guardian!"

Thus, An Lin had been completely redeemed and become the number one guardian of Great Empress Vermilion Bird. Basically, he could call the shots in the Vermilion Bird Tribe…

What a strange world…

An Lin was wondering what he was going to do with the Vermilion Bird Tribe, but now, all of them were now nominating him as Xiaolan's guardian.

"Waah…" A sweet cry sounded beside his ears.

Immediately afterward, a pair of soft little hands caressed An Lin's face.

An Lin looked at the female infant in his arms, and he was greeted by the smile of an angel.

She was so adorable…

One-year-old Xiaolan was the most adorable thing he had ever seen.

An Lin's heart melted, and a smile also appeared on his face.

Why was he thinking so much? He would just have to love Xiaolan and protect her as he had always done!

The two of them exchanged smiles, presenting an extremely warm and beautiful scene to behold.

This scene seemed to have been frozen in a snapshot in time.

"An…"

"An…"

A tender syllable sounded.

An Lin was initially taken aback upon hearing this before turning with excitement toward Little Xiaolan.

"Little Xiaolan! It's me… An Lin!" An Lin was excited beyond belief.

He knew that Little Xiaolan was trying to call his name.

Xu Xiaolan still had her memories, but she really was only a small child in her current state.

"An… An…" Little Xiaolan grabbed onto An Lin's collar as she struggled to articulate his name.

An Lin was moved to the point of tears and patiently guided her. "An… Lin…"

"An…" Little Xiaolan's eyes lit up as if she had found a way to resolve this issue. "An, An… Daddy!"

Boom!

An Lin was rooted to the spot as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

Little Xiaolan had dealt him such a heavy blow that he was doubting his very existence.

A father's love was like a mountain…

An Lin felt like he had been crushed under a mountain and was struggling to breathe.

I see you as my dao partner, but you call me daddy?!

An Lin looked up into the sky with a suicidal expression.

Little Xiaolan lay in An Lin's arms with her head against his chest as she caressed his neck with affection and attachment.

"An… An…"

…

News of An Lin becoming Great Empress Vermilion Bird Tribe's number one guardian instantly spread through the entire Vermilion Bird Tribe.

All of the Vermilion Bird Tribe powerful beings arrived at the Vermilion Bird Palace to pay their respects to their Great Empress.

In reality, they were just paying their respects to a little girl.

High Priest Hong Wu was a sexy female Vermilion Bird, and she volunteered to provide breast milk for Little Xiaolan. Little Xiaolan's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the milk being presented, and drool dribbled down her chin again.

An Lin had no milk to feed Xiaolan, so he could only accept High Priest Hong Wu's offering and feed Xiaolan her milk.

He had used his Divine Inspection Technique to verify that the milk was very safe and very healthy with no harmful substances within. Furthermore, it contained very pure Vermilion Bird power and was very beneficial to the development of an infant.

An Lin held the milk bottle and walked around with Xiaolan in his arms, at a loss for what to do.

He hadn't even married Xiaolan yet, but he was now her father.

Who was he supposed to cry to about this?

Anyway, this Vermilion Bird Palace was super massive!

The palace encompassed an area with a radius of several dozen kilometers, and the floors were all crimson-golden in color. There were all types of statues within the palace, and all of them exuded extremely pure flame power. There were countless mysterious diagrams inscribed upon the walls and a series of pillars around which divine flames of different colors revolved.

Two hours later.

In the Vermilion Bird Palace.

An Lin held Xu Xiaolan in his arms as he sat upon the throne.

Before him, several dozen Dao Integration Stage Vermilion Birds and over a thousand Return to Void Stage Vermilion Birds knelt upon the ground.

An Lin announced expressionlessly, "I hereby announce the founding of the new Vermilion Bird Empire!"

"Long live Great Empress Vermilion Bird!"

"Long live the Vermilion Bird Tribe!"

All of the Vermilion Bird powerful beings yelled in unison.
