An Lan fell silent. Ling Feng was the first man to stir her heart, but that didn't mean she would abandon everything here for him.

She knew that what Ling Feng said came from his heart, but after hesitating for a moment, An Lan still shook her head, "Ling Feng, I'm sorry. I really like you, but... but I can't abandon everything here; I can't leave the Snowman Tribe!"

Ling Feng grew anxious, "Why? The Devil is already dead, and your duty has been lifted. You don't have to stay here anymore!"

An Lan tiptoed and gently kissed the corner of Ling Feng's mouth, saying, "Indeed, you're right. But I am the shaman girl of the Snowman Tribe, and this place is my home! Moreover, the formation is broken, and this Small World could vanish at any time. When that time comes, our Snowman Tribe must find a suitable place to live. As the shaman girl of the Snowman Tribe, I cannot possibly leave the tribe at a time like this!"

"I can help you!" Ling Feng said earnestly, "Trust me, I have the ability to help you all!"

An Lan smiled slightly, a twinkle in her eye, "I know, I believe you. But our Snowman Tribe has been isolated from the world for too long and can't blend with the outside world. Besides..."

Reaching this point, An Lan glanced at the distant Snowman Tribe settlement and continued, "Before, the Snowman Tribe lived only to fulfill our ancestors' duties, but from now on, the Snowman Tribe will live for themselves."

She looked at Ling Feng again with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't trust you, but the Snowman Tribe just wants to live a quiet and peaceful life. If we contact the outside world too soon..."

Here, An Lan shook her head, "Not everyone outside is like you!"

Ling Feng felt a heavy heart. He understood what An Lan was saying. He also knew that once the Snowman Tribe was discovered by the outside world, it would definitely cause a sensation, and the Snowman Tribe might even become a tool for some people to exploit!

If that really happened, Ling Feng would find it unbearable! The Snowmen, albeit different in appearance from the outside world, exuded an aura of the purest virtues—unity, resilience, generosity, and simplicity... Such a pure and powerful race, if exposed to the external world, would surely be the target of attention and exploitation from all sides.

With this in mind, Ling Feng let out a deep sigh; it seemed he had been too naive.

An Lan looked at Ling Feng and said with a smile, "Ling Feng, after everything stabilizes with the Snowman Tribe, shall I come down the mountain to find you? Right now, I truly can't abandon the Snowman Tribe!"

Ling Feng grasped An Lan's hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, I took it for granted! But I have other matters to attend to now and can't offer you more help."

An Lan shook her head, "This is the Snowman Tribe's affair, I..."

"Are you telling me that after all this, you still don't consider me a member of the Snowman Tribe?" Ling Feng looked at An Lan and said softly, "I'm technically the Snowman Tribe's son-in-law now, aren't I?"

An Lan's face turned red, with a hint of shyness.

Ling Feng thought for a moment and took a Demon's Horn out of his bosom, handing it over to An Lan, "Senior Dragon Wolf said this Demon's Horn is very useful. I'm giving this one to you."

An Lan accepted the Demon's Horn, her face breaking into a happy smile.

Looking at An Lan's cheerful expression, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh internally. He softly said, "An Lan, I have important things to do, and I probably can't stay here any longer. Before I go, I want to tell you about my affairs!"

"My name is Ling Feng, and I am an Honorary Elder of the China Dragon Group!" Ling Feng disclosed some of his own affairs to An Lan, including his relationships with several other girls. Ling Feng didn't want to deceive An Lan about these matters.

An Lan was silent, and with her silence, Ling Feng felt somewhat anxious. After all, wouldn't any girl lose her composure upon hearing that her lover had other women?

"Ling Feng, I'm very happy!" Unexpectedly, An Lan said, "You didn't lie to me, and that makes me happy! I felt a bit guilty before because I need to devote my attention to the Snowman Tribe and can't be there for you. But now that you have other girls, it actually relieves me!"

A look of surprise crossed Ling Feng's face, "You... You're not going to blame me for being fickle, are you?"

An Lan smiled mischievously, "Of course you're fickle, but a fickle man is not necessarily a promiscuous one! Besides, an outstanding man will naturally attract many women who like and pursue him. What's wrong with that?"

In An Lan's heart, there wasn't such a concept as monogamy. Moreover, she believed in her feelings that Ling Feng wasn't a man who exclusively devoted himself to one, but he was definitely a man worthy of her trust!

"I actually wanted to give you the Origin Water!" An Lan sighed when it was time to part.

The drop of Origin Water that Dragon Wolf had taken was eventually used to make the Thousand-Strand Demon Binding Net. In the end, it was completely used up, which made An Lan feel very disappointed.

Ling Feng touched the sword scar on his hand and said with a smile, "I've already found a substitute now. I don't need the Origin Water anymore!"

"That won't do!" An Lan insisted seriously, "You've given me the Demon's Horn, so I must give you a token of our love in return!"

As she spoke, An Lan took out a jade pendant from her bosom. It was divided into two halves, left and right.

"This is the jade pendant left by the previous Shaman Girl!" An Lan said, "I'm now giving you one half; make sure you keep it safe, okay?"

Ling Feng took the jade pendant which was pristine white, with what seemed like flowing water in the middle, and a very complex character etched onto it.

"What character is this?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

"I don't know either!" An Lan admitted honestly, "This jade pendant has been passed down through the Shaman Girls of our Snowman Tribe. Now that the formation is broken and the mission of the Shaman Girl has vanished, I'm giving you a piece of it to commemorate our shared memories!"

Ling Feng frowned slightly; from An Lan's words, he seemed to sense something, "An Lan, does this mean you're not planning to come down the mountain to find me?"

"How could that be?" An Lan laughed and leaned gently into Ling Feng's embrace, "You are my only man. If I don't go to find you, what else could I possibly do? Don't worry. As soon as our Snowman Tribe finds a suitable place to live, I will definitely come down the mountain to find you!"

Ling Feng held An Lan tightly, "Remember what you said. If you don't come to find me within a year, I will come to find you. You are Ling Feng's woman, and I am a very possessive man!"

"Okay, I get it, you possessive, fickle man!" An Lan cracked a slight smile and then broke free from Ling Feng's embrace, "It's getting late now, you'd better go down the mountain soon."

Ling Feng kissed An Lan's forehead and said earnestly, "Wait for me. Once I've dealt with things down there, I will come back for you!"

Ling Feng left, and An Lan stood on the stone wall until she could no longer see Ling Feng's retreating figure, then she turned around with a forlorn face.

She gently touched her lower abdomen, "Ling Feng, I'm sorry. Although I really like you, the Snowman Tribe is my home. I'm sorry I lied to you! But don't worry, with him, I think I won't be lonely! And you, with girls who like you, you won't be lonely either, right?"
