The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 258 - 257 Frontier in Crisis

Lin Yu blamed Lin Yun for pressing her too hard, and Lin Yun blamed Lin Yu for pressing him.

Each of them insisted on their own words; it seemed like neither could persuade the other, yet in the end, Lin Yu was the one who lost.

Just as Lin Yun had guessed, Lin Yu’s rational side tended to prefer Lin Yun to stay away from her, but humans are emotional beings, especially women.

When Lin Yun, knowing well that being with her was dangerous, still clung to her desperately, refusing to leave, Lin Yu’s heart almost melted.

Her heart felt warm, as if there were a fire burning within; the previously heart-wrenching pain had now transformed into a cloying sweetness. Even the hand she placed on Lin Yun’s chest to stop him from drawing closer gradually lost its strength.

As she softened her stance just a little, Lin Yun embraced her tightly. It was only then that Lin Yu remembered to feel shy.

But with herself already in Lin Yun’s arms, what could she do about it?

Lin Yun then kissed her forehead again, and as their eyes met, everything was said without words.

Lin Yun also knew that he had not yet persuaded Lin Yu; they were not of one heart yet, and even if he took advantage of her current restlessness to make his move now, there would inevitably be reversals in the future.

Therefore, he did not rashly do more with Lin Yu but merely expressed his own feelings.

"The path of cultivation goes against the Heavenly Mandate; the you of the past dared to fight against fate. Your sword was fearless, charging forward without hesitation. Why are you afraid now? Has your sword gone dull?"

Lin Yun’s words struck Lin Yu’s heart in an instant.

Yes, the Lin Yu of the past was spirited, with sword in hand, fearing nothing under the sky.

Even after being poisoned, she had gone through lows and setbacks, but in the end, she never put down her sword.

Why, now with even more powerful cultivation and various divine skills, had she become fearful and anxious?

Lin Yun’s words awakened Lin Yu from her dreamlike state, and she realized that the sword in her heart had long been covered in rust.

Although she now possessed astonishing combat abilities, her mental cultivation had regressed.

Now, having heard Lin Yun’s words, she suddenly came to a realization; it was time to sharpen her sword again.

Seeing the realization dawn on her face, Lin Yun knew he had said enough, and naturally, he was no longer as restrained as before.

This was a heaven-sent opportunity: Lin Yu had in a huff taken off her Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, and the clothes beneath, being ordinary, lacked any defensive capabilities.

Lin Yun made a move and began to undo her belt.

At this moment, Lin Yu’s mind was clear, not as dazed as before. She immediately grasped Lin Yun’s hand, annoyed and embarrassed, "What are you doing?"

"You are to temper your Sword Heart, and I must hone my fighting spirit. On the path of cultivation, there can be no fear or retreat. I am mentally prepared to face any challenge."

Lin Yu: "..."

Making tofu eating sound so righteous, Lin Yun was certainly the first.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Lin Yu was still somewhat worried; her sword still needed to be sharpened, and currently, she could still retreat, while Lin Yun was forcing her to bravely face the challenge.

This was definitely not just lust.

"Afraid, yes, but even if I were to die, I would have no regrets. However, if I did nothing, that would be my lifelong sorrow."

Lin Yu did not expect Lin Yun to talk about tofu-eating with such vigor. Caught off guard, she was successfully ambushed by Lin Yun.

Her mind went blank once again.

"Insiders Know"

The Mountain and River Pass was still fraught with a tense atmosphere as negotiations were not yet complete. People below were nervous, and so were those on the city walls.

But no one acted rashly, although Yuquan was growing impatient and asked, "Why have the negotiations gone on for so long? Are the Grassland People tough to deal with?"

Dongfang Hongyue feigned mystery and said, "Perhaps it’s that man from the Grassland who’s hard to handle. Right now, they could be locked in a verbal battle, Daoist. You should just patiently wait."

With many people watching, Dongfang Hongyue, for safety’s sake, didn’t reveal Lin Yun was one of their own and came up with an excuse to prevaricate.

Little did she know, she had actually hit the nail on the head. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Lin Yun was indeed hard to deal with, Lin Yu was worn out from fending him off, and after a war of words, Lin Yu eventually surrendered unconditionally.

"Yu’er, you’re truly beautiful."

Looking at Lin Yu with her cheeks blushing pink, Lin Yun couldn’t help but praise her.

Lin Yu grew even more shy. Being called by Lin Yun like that made her too embarrassed to look at him.

But just as she turned her head away, Lin Yun clung to her again, insisting on cozying up close. She couldn’t escape or hide, so she closed her eyes and let Lin Yun be mischievous with her.

"Open your eyes and look at me, am I not good-looking enough?"

Lin Yun teased her deliberately, finally driving Lin Yu to desperation. She left a set of teeth marks on Lin Yun’s shoulder, but her canines were so sharp that she accidentally drew blood from Lin Yun, tasting the metallic sweetness. Realizing something was wrong, Lin Yu tried to remedy it by gently blowing on the wound.

She was like a little kitten that could only scratch, utterly adorable.

Teasing her, Lin Yun said, "This is a ’tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye’ situation, isn’t it? I made you bleed, so you made me bleed too?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu’s face turned crimson, and feeling her teeth itch, she wished she could bite him hard one more time.

"If you keep teasing me, I’ll..."

"You’ll do what?"

Lin Yun provocatively kissed her on the cheek, and Lin Yu, feeling a mix of sweetness and shame, turned her head away and pouted, "I’ll ignore you."

Taking the opportunity, Lin Yun kissed the other side of her face she turned towards him and laughed, "But you’re so cute, I can’t help but want to tease you, what should I do?"

"Bad guy..."

Lin Yu pinched Lin Yun’s waist, when suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound startled them both.

Really, it wasn’t the time for flirtation. There was a war brewing outside, and it wasn’t proper for them to be bickering at home either.

It was just irresistible. For Lin Yun, missing this chance meant not knowing when the next would come.

While it felt mean to take advantage of the situation, his glib tongue ensured that Lin Yu wouldn’t hold it against him.

But something was clearly happening now; they couldn’t delay any longer.

Quickly straightening up her clothes, Lin Yu went out first. She wasn’t just eager; she also felt too ashamed to appear with Lin Yun now; it felt scandalously embarrassing.

Previously, she had been impulsive. Reflecting on it now, she really felt like she owed an apology to her good sister the Flower Fairy.

To flirt with her sister’s man behind her back...

It was thrilling, to say the least.

In any case, it was too late to escape now.

As she left the house, she happened upon Zhenren, who was on his way to deliver a message and asked, "What’s happened?"

"An urgent report from the Mountain and River Pass, the Eight Great Demon Kings leading tens of thousands of the Demon Tribe have launched a fierce attack. The defensive line is in critical condition, and they’re seeking immediate support from the seniors."

Hearing this, Lin Yu’s face turned grave.

She understood why she was being summoned. The Thunder Law of the Shenxiao Sect was particularly effective against the Demon Tribe. However, her previous assignment to the north was because they hoped to utilize her powerful offensive capabilities to break through in one direction, alleviating pressure on other fronts.

Little did she expect to encounter the main enemy force. Although this had alleviated some pressure on other fronts, with her departure, the question was who would defend the Mountain and River Pass...
