Chapter 1401 Unexpected Even
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“It turns out that I’m still afraid.” Ling Lan remained silent for a few seconds before mocking herself.
The battle of Twilight caused her to almost lose her father and her brother, Xie Yi. This event had truly scarred Ling Lan’s heart, and with that scar, there was now a weak point in her heart. But, the situation and the circumstances around her didn’t allow her to be weak. She had no choice but to force herself to be calmer and stronger than everyone around her.
After entering the Lawless Lands, Ling Lan knew that a series of bloodbaths were waiting for her. She knew that the number of deaths on her side would only increase, and she was truthfully prepared for it. However, when reality hit, Ling Lan realized that she was still afraid of losing any more than what she already had lost. It was especially apparent when she heard Zhao Jun decided to launch a frontal attack, her heart scrunched up tightly.
Fortunately, the more she cared about something, the more indifferent she would appear on the surface, which meant that no one knew what she was afraid of when they were looking at her.
“I really am not a qualified king.” Ling Lan’s gaze darkened slightly. Her entire body became dull and gloomy. However, the next second, she opened her eyes wide and a powerful force of presence was released. Although it only lasted for an instant, everyone in the rainbow palace was instantaneously plastered to the floor.
Luckily, the force of presence was gone almost instantly, so it didn’t hurt anyone in the rainbow palace. But, the people here still felt frightened. They didn’t know if their Lord Gen suddenly lost control of his anger or was it because another imperial realm formidable warrior passed by and decided to perform another show.
“If I can’t do it, I won’t. I’ll just do what I want.” The Dao that Ling Lan chose, although she named it the Dominance Dao, it wasn’t what it meant literally. It didn’t mean that she would be vicious and selfish. What she meant was a Dao of a free heart.
The former meaning was being selfish and the latter was proving her heart. They seemed similar but there was actually a huge difference in them.
Based on what Number One said, Ling Lan’s Freedom Dao was a few tiers higher than the normal Dominance Dao and Killing Dao, and with that, the difficulty of cultivating such Dao skyrocketed. Other Daos were considered the minor way while Ling Lan’s Dao was a Dao to the main origin. The minor way might be weaker but because it was small, it was hard to go wrong, as such the rate of success of cultivating such Dao was higher too. However, Ling Lan’s Dao on the other hand crossovered with too many other paths, which made it difficult to make every step right on this path. Plus, since this was a unique path she chose herself, she didn’t have any prior experiences she could take as reference. Ling Lan had to rely on herself. This made the difficulty of this path even harder to measure.
At this moment, her Profound Insight, which had been limiting her enlightenment all these while, suddenly crossed its bottleneck and a new series of enlightenments appeared in Ling Lan’s mind.
Ling Lan was pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly closed her eyes and carefully felt this new series of enlightenments. It was a few hours later that she opened her eyes again. She let out a deep sigh. “So that is the case. I almost made a grave mistake.”
The Dominance Dao was never truly her. When she forced herself to change to fit her Dao, she was twisting her true nature. Fortunately, she realized this early enough. If she really walked on the Dominance Dao, she believed that she would definitely regret it at the end.
Ling Lan smiled. Her heavy heart lightened up instantly and she felt more relaxed.
In the learning space, a few of the instructors stopped what they were doing in unplanned unison and looked up at the virtual sky.
A rare smile appeared on Number Nine’s cold and stern face. It was a very faint smile but it was beautiful.
Number Five was stunned. He gave an sly smile and said, “This is exciting. Is this luck or is it something else? This is worth analysing.”
Number Four gave a relieved smile. Suddenly, she realized something. “Ah… does this mean that I have to wait longer? This is infuriating.” She was only able to appear if Ling Lan met some obstacles or had a hole in her soul. Number Four felt frustrated. The relieved feeling she had when Ling Lan walked back on the right path disappeared in an instant. She wished that time would move backward to the moment when Ling Lan achieved the enlightenment. If she had the power to, she would definitely mess up Ling Lan’s enlightened state.
Number Three proudly raised his head towards the sky and laughed loudly as he sat in his own space. “Hahaha… As expected of my beloved disciple.”
Number Two slowly came out of the darkness and looked at the dark skies. He said softly, “This is good.” Then, he went back into the darkness.
Number One opened his eyes slightly and looked into the empty space. After a while, he closed his eyes again. In that slight time window when he opened and closed his eyes, there seemed to be a faint, almost unnoticeable smile on his face.
Before Ling Lan was able to finish feeling happy for the fact that she managed to correct her mistake in time, a sudden realization almost made her expressionless face turn hideous…
In the past, she never took note of this matter because Little Four had always reminded her about it. Her mother, Lan Luofeng, would also contact her to remind her when the time came. Thus, no such problem happened in the past 20 years. However, now, Little Four was in a coma and she was far away in the Lawless Lands, causing her mother, Lan Luofeng, to not be able to contact her. This small matter that she had disregarded for one year now came to find her for trouble.
Was this extreme joy turning into sadness? Ling Lan stared at the patch of water mark on her seat. She didn’t need to see it to know that it would be red in colour.
This had never came for 20 years so Ling Lan almost forgot that her body still had this ability. But now, her old friend came to have a heart to heart talk with her. She felt like cursing biology…
“Ask Luo Chao and Han Xuya if they know whether there are any hormone suppressors among the goods.” Ling Lan could only seek help from Luo Chao and Han Xuya now.
When Luo Chao and Han Xuya knew this, they were dumbfounded. They went into a daze.
Fine, they knew that Boss was a lady but Ling Lan’s powerful and dominant image was ingrained too deeply in their minds. Sometimes, they would forget that Ling Lan was a lady unconsciously and treat her as a man.
They took a while to clean up for Ling Lan. After doing so, they quickly went to check on the cargo. However, there was no good news as Luo Chao and Han Xuya was told that they didn’t have the hormone suppressor that Boss needed. They were still in shock when they heard the reason why. The people in the cargo they asked told them that Li Shiyu felt that forcefully changing a person’s natural body hormones might seem harmless on the surface but deep down, it might not be the case. He hadn’t researched the implications but it was better to not mess with anything that they weren’t sure about.
Plus, there were more men than women in the Lingtian Independent Army, especially among their comrades. They only had two younger sisters, Luo Chao and Han Xuya. They just wanted to dote on them, so how could they bear to let them fight on the frontline? Thus, their younger sisters wouldn’t need to use this kind of thing. This was the reason why Luo Chao and Han Xuya didn’t need to undergo any hormone suppressor treatment like most of the female soldiers did before entering the battlefield. They had the luxury to bring along the monthly necessity that they needed to use.
