The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 207 - 206 Disaster is Always One Step Behind Me (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe)
After consuming Lin Yun’s blood, Hu Yuling’s demonic qi became ever more abundant, and her torn attire had now morphed back into a leather jacket and trousers, which, contrary to its previous tattered state, was now all the more seductive.
Lin Yun found it intolerable, especially since Hu Yuling’s tongue wasn’t behaving either, constantly grazing his wound and causing a tickling sensation.
"Alright, that’s about enough; you should set off now."
"Thank you, Master."
Hu Yuling said obediently and seeing some moisture still lingering on Lin Yun’s fingers, she hurriedly wiped them clean for him.
"So sensible." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Lin Yun patted Hu Yuling’s head in silent encouragement before sending her on her way.
Taking advantage of the night to descend the mountain, no one would discover Hu Yuling with her cultivation level.
Having released a Dream Demon, Lin Yun was about to return when he suddenly felt a disturbance not far away.
"Best not to meddle in others’ affairs, just get back to sleep."
Lin Yun had initially wanted to investigate, but considering his knack for attracting trouble, he decisively chose to slip away.
Disaster always lags a step behind me.
Elsewhere, the duel between Flower Fairy and Lin Yu had reached a fever pitch.
Both had finished warming up and were now competing in the might of their respective paths.
Lin Yu’s Sword Intent was unstoppable, fearless, invincible.
Flower Fairy might not have a Sword Intent, but she had gleaned a powerful path from the Divine Artifact Sky-splitter – the path of cutting down everything before her.
The paths of the two were very similar, yet also diverged.
"Sister Yu, watch out, this is Sky-splitter’s strike."
Flower Fairy wasn’t announcing her moves as some pre-fight ritual but was alerting Lin Yu that she was unleashing a big attack, giving Lin Yu the chance to respond with an equally powerful sword technique.
"Bring it on!"
Lin Yu was ready, yet her strike was a plain and ordinary thrust compared to Flower Fairy’s flashy display, replete with dragons on the left and phoenixes on the right. But when their swords touched, Flower Fairy felt as if she saw a White Tiger roaring.
"Ah..."
Lin Yu’s bamboo sword jabbed Flower Fairy’s chest, and although a top-quality Spiritual Artifact protected her, Flower Fairy felt like her chest was terribly painful.
Why do these people have to fight and aim for this spot? It hurts so much.
"Are you okay..."
The victor was clear, Lin Yu dropped her bamboo sword and went to check on Flower Fairy, who bit her lip and said, "It’s nothing, you won."
Flower Fairy had to admit, generally when an Upper Realm Cultivator fought with a cultivator of a lesser level, even if they suppressed their Cultivation Level, the Upper Realm Cultivator was stronger.
But Flower Fairy was different; although she was in the Heart Guarding Realm, she had already touched upon the Great Dao and could even use a hint of it.
Yet Lin Yu, using merely a Sword Intent appropriate for the Heart Guarding Realm, had defeated her. She was indeed formidable.
"Then I should still call you sister in the future, even though I came here first."
Flower Fairy may have lost the fight, but her lips weren’t conceding defeat. Lin Yu initially nodded at her statement, but once she realized what Flower Fairy meant, she couldn’t help but blush.
Her fight with Flower Fairy wasn’t about contesting for the position of sisters.
It was just because she felt irked and, with her Cultivation Level restored, she simply wanted to have a fight.
"You should cut down on your sharp tongue."
Lin Yu was just teasing Flower Fairy for being too talkative, but when Flower Fairy thought back on previous events, the phrase "sharp tongue" suddenly became a bit too much for her to handle.
"Hmph, wait until you show off your real skills!"
"?"
Lin Yu was a tad confused. What did this statement even relate to?
But Flower Fairy didn’t seem inclined to explain and effortlessly shifted the topic, "Now that your Cultivation Level is restored, what do you plan to do next?"
This question indeed troubled Lin Yu a bit.
She had thought she wouldn’t live much longer and hadn’t made any long-term plans, only wishing to make the most of every day as it came.
This did allow her to have a good ten-plus years of mortal life, a return to simplicity, and during these years her cultivation level had greatly improved.
Otherwise, if she had suddenly broken through to this realm, she might have become possessed by her own power.
And now, living like a mortal without a care for the world is clearly no longer realistic, especially since the world today is even more dangerous than when she had traveled as a young cultivator. Even during her time at the Shenxiao Sect, she could sense the unrest in the Cultivation World.
She lacked the strength before and could only escape, but now that her power has returned, she naturally wanted to do something.
However, her old enemies were already dead, and though there were still some grievances with the Sword Sect, that was after all the place that had raised her. Lin Yu did not wish to seek revenge, as the primary culprit was already dead.
As for upholding justice, her enthusiasm for that had also waned.
"I don’t seem to have anything I want to do."
Lin Yu said helplessly.
Being accustomed to something can be a scary thing; she had gotten used to the life of a mortal, and now suddenly regaining her cultivation level, which was even higher than before, she found it hard to change immediately.
"Since you don’t know what to do, why not stay and take care of Lin Yun? It just so happens that the Shenxiao Sect has gone through betrayal and lost an important elder. Your staying could also make up for the loss of strength in the Shenxiao Sect,"
the Flower Fairy suggested, and Lin Yu’s eyes lit up.
"That sounds good, let’s do that,"
the Flower Fairy commented to herself silently.
"Still claims she doesn’t like Lin Yun, yet when it comes to staying with Lin Yun, she agrees with a smile,"
"Exactly, not honest at all,"
"Big brother won’t like a dishonest girl like that!"
"You’re wrong, he does like her,"
"Probably just for her looks,"
"The hateful Sister Yu, I won’t call her sister anymore!"
The Flower Fairy’s multiple personalities found a new use, which was to collectively criticize someone.
But on the surface, they still seemed like sisters deep in affection, as if the fight they just had was truly just a friendly spar.
A night passed.
Early the next morning, Fang Yu appeared in Lin Yun’s room. Seeing his steady breathing, she figured his body was indeed alright.
His constitution was certainly unusual, but Fang Yu had no intention to delve deeper into it.
Looking at Lin Yun’s sleeping face, Fang Yu’s feelings were also very complicated.
She had finally made a decision regarding this emotional tribulation.
Running away might be shameful, but it should be useful.
At least, she couldn’t accept turning her weapon against Lin Yun, so fleeing was the only option left.
In just two days, Lin Yun had caused her heart to waver, and she could not wait any longer.
"Master?"
Lin Yun suddenly woke up. Seeing Fang Yu in his room, he raised his eyebrows. Hey hey, could it be a night attack from Master?
Should I resist?
At least put up a show of resistance.
"You’re awake, your body should have recovered, right?"
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Master,"
Lin Yun said full of vigor.
"Since you are recovered, I have a task for you. The world is not peaceful these days, and we have a caravan that has already gone to the Li Fire God Palace. You now go and meet them, then escort them back. You must reach the Li Fire God Palace within seven days, without delay."
Lin Yun: "..."
