The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 179 My Son Might be a Playboy

The Flower Fairy did not hide the fact that she had met Lin Yu from Lin Yun; however, she did not admit her fondness for Lin Yun either.

She understood Lin Yu’s intention, which was simply to flirt with Lin Yun and make him fall in love with her, without having to develop any real relationship with him.

But...

"Actually, you might be mistaken, Lin Yun, he... he has liked me all along!"

As she feigned shyness while revealing these words, the Flower Fairy felt the long-held frustration inside her dissipate.

Sister, you’re overthinking it, Lin Yun must only be concerned about you, but he has always liked me!

"Huh?"

Lin Yu was shocked once again.

The Flower Fairy then spoke of their adventure together through the Moon God Ruins, adding details about how Lin Yun fell in love with her at first sight, wrote poems to catch her attention during the poetry gathering, and how they overcame difficulties hand in hand within the ruins. She went on to say that her bet with Dongfang Hongyue was solely to repay a debt of gratitude, but Lin Yun had given up Divine Skill for her...

After hearing these experiences, Lin Yu was dumbfounded.

She had not expected Lin Yun and the Flower Fairy to have gone through so much together.

This was quite awkward; she had sought the Flower Fairy to seduce Lin Yun, only to have wasted her efforts.

With feigned modesty, the Flower Fairy said, "I hadn’t expected Lin Yun to be your child, we should have had a sisterly relationship, and Lin Yun should call me Auntie Flower. However, as the Saintess of Guanghan Palace, I must not indulge in romantic affairs."

Lin Yu: "..."

Her mind was a total mess, and even after trying to sort out her thoughts, she came to an even more shocking conclusion.

The Flower Fairy surely wouldn’t lie to her. With her status as the Saintess of Guanghan Palace, she wouldn’t exaggerate her words, and though the Flower Fairy emphasized the absence of romantic feelings, she seemed genuinely pleased when talking about Lin Yun.

The situation was more complex than she had imagined; clearly, the Flower Fairy had developed feelings for Lin Yun as well.

Had she been misunderstanding the situation all this time?

Lin Yu thought back carefully, her heart pounding wildly.

She was certain she hadn’t made a mistake, Lin Yun must have feelings for her. Recalling the day Lin Yun embraced her, the look in his eyes was definitely unusual.

So...

Was Lin Yun actually attracted to two people at the same time?

Why had her son become such a fickle heartthrob?

Lin Yu suddenly felt a bit angry, and at the same time, there was a faint sourness in her heart.

Yet in her annoyance, she didn’t pay much attention to this sour feeling.

Once she calmed down, she finally spoke, "Then... perhaps, I got it wrong."

In the end, Lin Yu chose to admit her own mistake; she was sure she wasn’t wrong, but she didn’t want to ruin the relationship between Lin Yun and the Flower Fairy.

If they liked each other, then she would just let them be!

After all, she wouldn’t live much longer and wouldn’t let Lin Yun succeed. As for a boy being fickle...

That was quite normal; he was still young, inexperienced, and it was natural for him to like beautiful girls. After going through some hardships, he would understand the value of true affection.

At least, Lin Yun hadn’t done anything seriously wrong yet.

Lin Yu did not yet know that Lin Yun had been punished for his advances on Fang Yu and was sent to reflect upon his actions...

While the Flower Fairy also doubted whether Lin Yun’s filial piety had truly gone astray, she teased, "Lin Yun is not that honest, who knows if he really harbors thoughts about you! If you ask me, Sister Yu, you aren’t his birth mother, you just raised him for a while—just consider it as if you’ve picked up a child husband, why don’t you?"

The Flower Fairy appeared to be joking with Lin Yu, but in fact, these words were her way of testing the waters.

Good sister, don’t make me draw my sword, oh!

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu instantly felt a deep shame and chided, "What nonsense are you talking about! He is someone I’ve watched grow up, someone I consider family, how could I, how could I..."

Lin Yu was at a loss for words, and seeing her so embarrassed, the Flower Fairy felt a mischievous impulse to tease her further. She wrapped one arm around Lin Yu’s waist and, with a playful tone, said, "After all, keep the wealth within the family, right? Sister, didn’t you say that being a mortal could be very happy too? You’ve never experienced what ordinary women do, I guess. Lin Yun has grown up quite handsome; maybe Sister you should give it a try!"

The Flower Fairy started speaking crudely, and Lin Yu, flushed with embarrassment and anger, grabbed her mischievous hand. The two of them started a tussle in the room, with the Flower Fairy not using her superior cultivation level to take advantage, but only the strength of a mortal to fight playfully with Lin Yu. Before long, their clothes were disheveled, and Lin Yu was puffing and panting, her rosy cheeks alluring.

The Flower Fairy was tempted to give her a kiss, thinking that if a man were present, he would certainly be unable to resist the seductive charm emanating from Lin Yu.

After they were both drained, Lin Yu was still shy, but when they looked at each other, they both burst out laughing.

Lin Yu then slowly sat up from the bed, her eyes gazing toward the window, but her thoughts drifted to a faraway place.

"What I fear the most is that Lin Yun won’t be able to let go of me," she said.

Lin Yu spoke with some melancholy, "You and I may appear to be young women, but in reality, we are both nearly a hundred years old. But Lin Yun is different; he is truly only eighteen. We’ve seen so much joy and sorrow, partings and reunions, and long understood that life and death are predestined, but Lin Yun isn’t the same."

This was also why Lin Yu felt somewhat relieved when she learned that Lin Yun had lost his memories of her.

"Once a person values an emotional bond too deeply, that bond becomes their greatest burden."

The sincerity in Lin Yu’s words plunged the Flower Fairy into silence.

Yes, humans are strange creatures.

The bonds between people are a beautiful thing, but sometimes, those very bonds equate to burdens.

It was just like her, who from a young age had been burdened with too much, and the feelings she cherished most deep within her heart were also the source of her pain. No matter how much it hurt, she never let go.

"Lin Yun has nobody else to rely on in this world; I am probably his last kin. Actually, you are not wrong; we have no blood relationship, and if he... if he liked me, I wouldn’t rule out saying yes," Lin Yu said.

Flower Fairy: "?"

You’re really prepared to accept his feelings?

Where’s my sword?

Just as the Flower Fairy was covertly preparing to find the Sky-splitter, Lin Yu continued, "But I daren’t, I can’t establish more ties with him. I won’t live much longer, but Lin Yun has a long life ahead of him. I don’t want him to feel pain every time he thinks of me in the future. I hope he can be happy, follow his own path, and live his life."

The atmosphere suddenly grew heavy, making the Flower Fairy feel too awkward to be jealous.

"What about you then? It is said that in the Netherworld, those who are forgotten disappear quickly, but as long as someone remembers you, you can live well in another world."

The Flower Fairy was referring to common mortal beliefs. According to folktales, when people die, their spirits go to the Underworld, which is another world where ancestors reside and receive offerings from the living on memorial days.

This is why mortals always worship their ancestors. But folktales often contain exaggerations without any basis, while the cultivation world knows that the Netherworld Realm truly exists.

However, only the dead can reach the Netherworld, and the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Some cultivators also choose to believe in certain ancient legends selectively.

And so, that is why the Flower Fairy has never abandoned those memories that pain her.

As long as she remembers, her mother still exists in another world...
