The heavenly singing came to a grinding halt.

An Lin could see through the white mist, and he saw a woman bathing in a small, pristine pond.

The two of them both faltered at once as they stared at each other in silence.

There was only the sound of water droplets dripping into the little pond.

The woman’s eyes were bright and glowing, and there was an alluring flush on her cheeks, which was just like her exquisite red lips.

Glittering and translucent water droplets slid down from the woman’s long, black hair, all the way down to her beautifully shaped shoulders. Her petite body had been obscured by a few colored streamers, but there were still some bits peeking through that were extremely alluring. As her chest rose and fell, An Lin felt as if he could just barely make out two spots of red…

Never would An Lin have thought that he would stumble upon a beauty bathing herself here.

However, he didn’t get a chance to enjoy the view because the scene before his eyes gave him a different type of stimulation!

“Lin An!”

“Vermilion Bird Princess?!”

The two of them yelled out each other’s name in unison.

“Vermilion Bird Princess, it IS you! How did you resurrect yourself?” An Lin was in shock.

The woman’s intricate features blushed slightly as she waved a hand at An Lin.

An Lin felt as if a veil had settled over his eyes, and when he regained full vision, what appeared before him was a beautiful young woman who was already fully clothed.

The woman still wore her customary combination of red high heels and a colorful dress, giving off a sense of youthful energy and vitality.

Pitter, patter…

She made her way toward An Lin.

An Lin’s entire body wound up tightly. He had just stumbled upon a bathing woman, so if the movies were anything to go by, a fight was about to break out!

However, a slim finger suddenly tapped onto the tip of An Lin’s nose at this moment.

“Lin An, why are you here?”

The woman cocked her head to the side as she stared at An Lin with curious eyes.

“Er…” An Lin faltered slightly before replying, “I walked over here from the Heart Examining Lake.”

“You crossed the Heart Examining Lake?” The woman was shocked.

“Hehe, I have a spotless dao heart. Crossing through the Heart Examining Lake was like walking over a flat ground for me; it was a piece of cake!” An Lin replied with a smug smile.

“You’re so impressive!” the woman exclaimed in amazement again.

He could tell that the woman’s praise was not an act and that she was truly surprised.

An Lin was quite satisfied. This was the first time he had flexed using his dao heart, and it was quite a good experience.

“You still haven’t answered my question yet, Vermilion Bird Princess; did you resurrect yourself?” An Lin pinched her cheek to find that it was quite soft and smooth. It seemed to be real and substantial.

An Lin’s hand was slapped aside by the woman.

“I didn’t even die! Resurrection, my a*s!” The woman harrumphed delicately and said, “I only escaped by dissipating into specks of light! Do you think you can kill me? Hmph, stop dreaming!”

An Lin was not angry. Instead, he was quite happy after confirming the Vermilion Bird Princess’ identity. “Jeez, you should’ve told me sooner! What a waste of my grief!”

The Vermilion Bird Princess’ eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes lit up with a smile upon hearing this. “I didn’t think that you would grieve for me.”

“I had finally encountered another Soul Formation Stage cultivator that was on my level, it would be a great pity if you died. I knew it! How could there be an idiot who would rather die than escape? So you faked your death!” An Lin sighed with emotion.

“You don’t understand. I really was fighting you with my life on the line. That is my glory, and the glory of the Sun Tree War God, do you understand?” the Vermilion Bird Princess retorted in a crisp voice.

“Oh.” An Lin nodded.

Fighting with her life on the line while knowing that she wouldn’t die anyway? Yep, no problems with that logic.

The Vermilion Bird Princess glowered at him upon seeing his unconvinced expression.

She was about to argue some more, but it looked like she thought of something and pursed her lips to swallow her words. “In any case… Thank you for what you did at the arena.”

“No problem, it was all to be expected of me.” An Lin waved a hand in a gentlemanly manner before asking, “Speaking of which, Vermilion Bird Princess, why are you here in a place like this?”

With a smile, the Vermilion Bird Princess blinked her large and enchanting eyes. “I’ll tell you a secret. I’m actually a descendant of the Vermilion Bird Tribe, the very powerful kind. Hmm… This is my little nest. Aside from you, no one knows that I transformed into my human form to play around at the arena!”

An Lin rolled his eyes. “Are you that bored?”

The Vermilion Bird Princess nodded. “That’s right! I’m very bored!”

She then seemed to have thought of something, and she pouted. “It’s a pity that the Vermilion Bird Princess is dead. Next time I enter the arena, I’ll have to transform into another form.”

“Gasp…” An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath. “You still want to go compete?”

“It’s so boring to be in the Sun Tree all the time, so of course I have to go stir up something.” The Vermilion Bird Princess smiled with excitement. “I’m disclosing to you now that I plan to use a hundred different personas to participate in the arena battles, then receive a hundred Sun Tree War God titles!”

“And then, I’ll have a hundred different statues placed all throughout the arena! Heehee… What do you think of that plan?”

An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath as his eyes widened in shock. “I feel like I’ve just had the wind knocked out of me!”

A smug smile appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess’ face upon hearing An Lin’s response. It was as if she had just received a fantastic compliment.

Thus, the conversation between the two of them flowed very naturally like that between a pair of old friends.

This was probably what it meant to have people of talent appreciating one another. Their fates had been intertwined by their battle together, and both of them had acknowledged one another.

“So you’re saying you’re going to enter the arena battles in different forms? Then which one is the real you? Could it be that the Vermilion Bird Princess standing before me right now is a fake one?”

“No, this is the real me! It’s one of my two fundamental bodies.”

“Can I see what your other fundamental body looks like?”

“Heh, no!”

“Alright…” An Lin was a little dejected before asking curiously, “But why are you so focused on the arena?”

“Because the arena is the only fun place on the Sun Tree!”

“Can’t you go play somewhere outside of the Sun Tree? The world is so vast, and there are a lot of fun things!”

A hint of sadness appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess’ face upon hearing An Lin’s words.

After remaining silent for a moment, the Vermilion Bird Princess replied, “I can’t leave the Sun Tree for certain reasons….”

“Can’t leave the Sun Tree…” An Lin repeated to himself.

Suddenly, a thought exploded in his mind.

It was said that the guardian of the Sun Tree was also unable to leave the Sun Tree due to certain reasons.

The guardian of the Sun Tree was very mysterious.

The Vermilion Bird Princess was also very mysterious. Even the main judge, the Heavenly Flame Vermilion Bird, didn’t know what her second fundamental body looked like, let alone the spectators at the arena.

It could be said that the Vermilion Bird Princess’ identity was a mystery.

The biggest mystery of the Sun Tree was probably the guardian of the Sun Tree.

Could it be…

An Lin swallowed silently as he turned toward the adorable young woman beside him.

Could the Vermilion Bird Princess be the guardian of the Sun Tree?
