The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 257 - 256 I Don’t Accept a Future Without You
Lin Yu remained impassive as she said, "I know you haven’t done anything wrong."
"Then why are you angry? Is it because I was too disrespectful?"
Lin Yun felt somewhat wronged too. Hadn’t he simply held her because she seemed so upset? That shouldn’t be a problem!
They had kissed before, so how could a hug be a mistake?
Besides, she was the one who first said that he shouldn’t think about other women, which implied that their relationship wasn’t purely platonic!
To make a joke about murdering her own husband, even if he was in the wrong, surely it shouldn’t come to this!
Lin Yun just felt aggrieved, thinking to himself that perhaps Lin Yu had been under a lot of pressure lately.
She was really quite gentle at heart.
"I’m not angry,"
Lin Yu explained, "I just don’t want you to misunderstand our relationship."
"Misunderstand?"
Lin Yun was starting to feel angry.
"Yes, you and I, we don’t have that kind of relationship."
"Then what kind of relationship do we have!"
Lin Yun glared at Lin Yu, thinking to himself that once she recovered her mental faculties, he’d let it slide even if he had to slap her twice.
"I am an Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, and you are a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect. That is all, no more, no less."
Lin Yun: "..."
Well, that’s quite the firm denial!
Enraged to the point he almost had an aneurysm right there, but as hot blood rushed to the top of his head, Lin Yun somehow calmed down.
If he thought about it, it made sense that Lin Yu suddenly hated him. Yet when she saw him, she was clearly sobbing uncontrollably. If she were truly heartless, why would she lose her composure like that?
So...
"Are you sick again? Are you thinking you don’t have long to live and want to distance yourself from me?"
Lin Yun couldn’t help but feel anxious. He should have thought of this earlier.
Lin Yu’s mental damage must be very severe!
Lin Yu: "..."
Actually, it wasn’t that exaggerated.
She simply didn’t want her Heaven-Slaying Lone Star destiny to impact Lin Yun anymore.
It was the four words ’murder her own husband’ that had made her sober up.
Therefore, she had to keep her distance from Lin Yun.
But as she watched Lin Yun close in step by step, Lin Yu suddenly didn’t know how to explain herself.
"Let me see how your body is."
Lin Yun grasped Lin Yu’s hand with a heart full of concern. When Lin Yu struggled to break free, Lin Yun wrapped his arms around her entirely.
"If you resist, I won’t let you go even if my arm breaks."
Lin Yu: "..."
Can he really act this shamelessly?
This rebellious child!
She truly was at her wits’ end with him.
Lin Yu let out a silent sigh and said, "Let me go, I’m actually fine now."
Knowing that Lin Yun had returned safely, her tumultuous spirits had finally eased, and as long as she rested properly, everything would be fine.
But for Lin Yun to hold onto her this way without letting go was really unseemly.
"I won’t let go unless you tell me why you’ve suddenly become so cold."
Lin Yu: "..."
She really couldn’t think of any way to deal with Lin Yun.
With no other choice, she had to confess.
"I have the White Tiger Destiny, the Heaven-Slaying Lone Star, and if you get too close to me, you will encounter misfortune."
"That’s superstition! I don’t believe in the White Tiger distressing her husband. I like White Tiger!"
Lin Yu: "???"
It seemed to her that the ’White Tiger’ she was talking about was not the same ’White Tiger’ Lin Yun was referring to.
And what’s with this "superstition" nonsense, she indeed has the White Tiger Destiny!
Not only does she have the White Tiger Destiny, but she also awakened the White Tiger Divine Skill.
In her mouth, a tiger tooth had grown, a tooth that only appeared after that day’s vision of the White Tiger at Shenxiao Sect.
She had reasons to suspect that this tooth was related to the White Tiger.
White Tiger Fierce God, Heaven-Slaying Lone Star—it had all already come true.
She lost her parents when she was little, and now her master had died, even though he was supposed to have a hundred more years to live; Lin Yu had no doubts about her own Life Pattern.
This time Lin Yun was lucky, maybe next time...
She didn’t want there to be a next time.
So, it’s better to keep her distance from Lin Yun!
"This is true, I’ve already seen what’s ahead in my destiny, a path made of blood and slaughter. I can control the power of thunder and wind because of the White Tiger..."
"I believe what you’re saying."
Lin Yun interrupted her, looking earnestly into Lin Yu’s eyes, "I believe in your destiny, but I also believe mine is stronger, not afraid of being overwhelmed by yours. Look at me, despite having faced life and death situations nine times over, didn’t I still come back?"
"But I don’t believe it, let me go."
Lin Yu, a woman whom the Grassland People call an exceptional fierce tiger, was now being held by Lin Yun, her only wish for him to let go.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t struggle free, she simply didn’t want to hurt Lin Yun.
With the conversation having reached this point, Lin Yun should have let go of her.
But he didn’t.
"You are now giving me a choice."
Lin Yun slowly said, "One choice is to draw a clear line between us, so that from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Perhaps I’ll live safely thereafter."
Lin Yu didn’t deny it, and Lin Yun continued, "The other choice is I’m not afraid of death, even if I’m fully aware it’s a road to death, I still want to be with you. You say you hope I make the first choice, but in fact, you haven’t ruled out the possibility of me making the second choice."
"I haven’t."
"Then I choose the second one."
Lin Yu: "..."
"Don’t deny it, you feel very sweet inside right now."
Lin Yu: "..."
Indeed, she couldn’t deny it; she felt happy and sweet, yet also terribly pained.
"What exactly do I need to do for you to clear the boundaries between us?"
Overwhelmed by a mix of pain and sweetness, Lin Yu nearly reached a breaking point before asking this question.
And Lin Yun’s response took her by surprise.
"I need to have you."
Lin Yu: "..."
After all said and done, was he actually craving her body?
Lin Yu suddenly felt a sourness in her heart and her nose, yet she still stubbornly said, "If I give myself to you, will you let me go?"
"Yes."
Lin Yu held back from crying, her lips almost bleeding from biting them, but still she steeled her heart—a flash of purple light and the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe was undone.
"Come then, but from now on, we’re through with each other."
At this moment, Lin Yu was already heartbroken.
An ascetic’s mind should be as clear as Qingming, yet hers was in complete chaos.
Lin Yun knew she was heartbroken when he heard her unfeeling words.
He couldn’t show off any longer; if he upset Lin Yu to the point of harming her, he would be stricken with guilt.
Lin Yun whispered into her ear in the gentlest voice possible: "Once I have you, I won’t let go. Don’t think about severing ties with me, it’s not going to happen."
"You!"
Lin Yu bit her lip tightly and said with sorrow, "Why must you force me like this... I just want you to live well, I don’t want to take risks, I don’t want to lose you again..."
Her eyes glistened with tears, and her words pained Lin Yun deeply.
But Lin Yun did not back down.
"It’s you who’s forcing me; you want me to choose a future without you, but I’d rather face a future filled with danger than one without you. Why are you forcing me?"
This was a reversal of roles.
Lin Yu had never heard such affectionate words before; for a moment, she felt almost intoxicated, her mind getting fuzzier...
