The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 250 - 249: So You’re My Younger Brother (7th Update)
Lin Yun truly did not expect that, after casually annexing a few small tribes and casually setting a few fires, he would be captured by the Witch of the vast grassland the very next day.
However...
This was actually related to the night attack he and Dongfang Hongyue and others had organized.
What was meant to be a surprise attack, ended up being a head-on collision, turning it into a full assault. Lin Yu beheaded two men, seriously wounded another, and even Zhang Ling, the second-ranked Warrior.
Wutulu transmitted a message to the Great Snow Mountain using a secret method overnight, and upon receiving the news, the Great Snow Mountain dispatched the Snow Maiden.
The Snow Maiden was the strongest being closest to a Shaman-Priest, and unlike the Saint Heir and Saintess of the Central Plains, she was not the successor to the Shaman-Priest. She would remain Snow Maiden for life, and although she lacked power, her status was even above that of the Shaman-Priest.
Legend has it that the Snow Maiden was the daughter of the Snow Mountain God, and before dying, each generation’s Snow Maiden would prophesy the reincarnation of the next one.
As a child of God, her status was naturally higher than that of a servant of God.
Even for a Shaman-Priest, it was not within their rights to forcefully command the Snow Maiden, who must be treated with ample respect.
For this war, the Grand Shaman initially felt smug and business-minded, but an unexpected error occurred. Unable to leave the Snow Mountain lightly, he had no choice but to send the Snow Maiden on this trip. The Snow Maiden healed Zhang Ling and heard a report on the way about the matters of the Great Mist Tribe.
And just like that, she took the detour here.
Before coming, she had also communicated with the Shaman-Priest, inquiring whether, due to the troubled times, the Snow Mountain God had chosen a new Divine Dependent.
To everyone’s surprise, the Shaman-Priest could not deduce an answer.
That was truly strange. There was either something or nothing; what kind of mystery was this?
The Shaman-Priest, who was reputed to be able to converse directly with the divine, did not know this, which was extremely peculiar.
Therefore, the Snow Maiden’s task became to bring Lin Yun back to the Snow Mountain to see the Shaman-Priest, which was conveniently on the way.
Lin Yun pondered over and over, thinking that this journey was indeed too risky, but in front of him, there were only two paths: one leading to certain death, the other fraught with danger. Lin Yun had no other choice.
Nonetheless, he boldly made a suggestion.
"You see... Maybe I should demonstrate my ability for you. Maybe I’m mistaken. After all, I just had a dream, and suddenly I had the power to control the Great Mist. How bad would it be if this were all a misunderstanding?"
The Snow Maiden: "..."
That’s right, why not let him demonstrate his power?
Just as she could make it snow from the sky, she should be able to recognize it.
The Snow Maiden nodded and calmly said, "Then show me."
Lin Yun released a dense Great Mist. The Snow Maiden focused her senses and indeed felt an extraordinary force.
This was certainly Divine Power!
"You say you obtained this power after having a dream?"
The Snow Maiden became visibly excited and asked, "Tell me about your dream."
Lin Yun: "..."
It was now time for his favorite part of deception.
"I can’t remember the dream very well anymore, but in short, I dreamt a majestic and holy voice that said, ’My child, go and become a King, take the power I have bestowed upon you,’ and then when I woke up, I had the ability to control the Great Mist. I thought it was an instruction from the Snow Mountain God that led me to start annexing other tribes."
As clever as Lin Yun was, he quickly fabricated a reason for conquering the other tribes in a very short period of time.
It wasn’t a reckless act; it was guided by Divine Spirit.
"So, you are also a child of the Father God..."
The Snow Maiden was extremely shocked. In her understanding, she was the daughter of the Snow Mountain God, and Lin Yun was his son, which made him her younger brother, right?
However, she never had a dream about the Father God. Did this mean the Father God favored Lin Yun more?
Could it be that the Father God also valued sons over daughters?
Suddenly, a large hole opened in the Snow Maiden’s thoughts.
It was not her fault. How could the innocent Snow Maiden know how cunning people in the outside world could be?
Moreover, the Snow Maiden was pure and flawless, capable of sensing the good and evil in others, so deceiving her was not such a simple task.
But Lin Yun was somehow capable, and the Snow Maiden discovered that she could not sense any emotion from Lin Yun towards her, be it good or evil, combined with the aura of the Divine Power of the Great Mist, it was almost concrete evidence.
How could she imagine that this Divine Power of the Great Mist had been forcibly seized by Lin Yun...
Lin Yun really wanted to retort, "My child" did not mean that.
But seeing that the Snow Maiden seemed to have misunderstood something, Lin Yun thought about it, realizing this misunderstanding was beneficial for him, so he didn’t deny it.
If he really had to acknowledge another father, then it seemed he would have to take advantage of the situation with the Fangtian Huaji.
"Since it’s under the divine instructions of the father god, then I will join you. From here we’ll head directly north, to take you to the Great Desert Court, and you can make the Khan abdicate."
Lin Yun: "???"
This... this...
They’re just making me the Khan?
Hold on, are you Grassland People really that easy to deceive?
Lin Yun felt a tingle in his scalp; he had no interest in becoming Khan, he only wanted to go home, lying was just a means to get home safely, but now...
It seemed like he was involved in a big mess now.
"I think it’s not right, since it is the path of a king, it should be a road filled with battles and thorns. A king’s position obtained by making others give way has no meaning. I think that the god didn’t guide you precisely because he doesn’t want you to interfere in this matter."
Lin Yun, emanating an aura of a charlatan at this moment, spoke convincingly, and the Snow Maiden thought, ah, that makes sense, he’s right.
This younger brother seemed to understand the Divine Spirits better than she did!
"Then I’ll listen to you. By the way, what is your name?"
"I have no surname, just a single character, Yun."
Lin Yun didn’t know what name to take, he didn’t like any of those names, so he simply told others he had only one character, Yun.
This was not strange on the Grassland.
Yet the Snow Maiden became even more cheerful, her belief that Lin Yun was a child of the god strengthened.
Since she had no surname either, just one character, Snow.
Every generation of Snow Maiden was given the same name.
Yun and Snow, surely they were siblings!
"My name is Snow, you can call me Snow, or you can call me big sister..."
"?"
A question mark rose in Lin Yun’s mind. Although he had learned some Grassland common sense, his knowledge was shallow, so he didn’t fully grasp the true meaning behind the Snow Maiden’s request to call her sister. But since she put it that way, as long as it pleased her, no matter what it was, he was willing to call her anything!
"Alright, big sister."
It’s just one more sister, no big deal.
However, the Snow Maiden was very pleased because she had no relatives in the Mortal Realm and this was the first time she was called big sister, making her feel an unprecedented happiness.
"Then I’ll call you Ah Yun."
"Mhm."
Lin Yun silently touched his fake beard, lamenting, even with this fake beard, I remain so dashingly impressive.
Look, I’ve managed to deceive this Grassland witch.
It must be because I’m handsome!
"I’ll go back to Snow Mountain and consult with the Shaman-Priest, you continue on your path of a king!"
"Alright, big sister, goodbye."
Please hurry and leave, it’d be best if we never saw each other again!
