The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 293 - 292: The Mark on the Chest (Fifth Update 3/22)

Chapter 293: Chapter 292: The Mark on the Chest (Fifth Update 3/22)

To use a Divine Artifact to defeat a Divine Artifact, Lin Yun, however, didn’t have such strength.

The only thing he could utilize was his own identity.

"We’ll find an opportunity to start a battle tomorrow, as a commander, it makes sense for me to have a duel, right? Then, I’ll ’accidentally’ get captured by the cunning Central Plains People. The Grassland People, fearing to harm the Divine Artifact, will hesitate to attack, and the crisis will naturally be resolved."

"Uh..."

Bai Jiaojiao was speechless upon hearing this.

She really didn’t expect Lin Yun to come up with such a strategy, it seemed...

It could actually be quite effective.

Lin Yun only needed to buy time until he received good news from the Southern Battlefield. He didn’t truly want to return to the Grassland as the Divine Child, so performing poorly wouldn’t matter much.

However, this strategy didn’t sound very honorable.

"Is there no other way?"

"You realize that what I just said was a last resort?"

Lin Yun looked at Bai Jiaojiao with satisfaction and said, "I do have a better plan."

"What’s the better plan?"

"Secretly drug the Snow Maiden. Given her trust in me, it wouldn’t be difficult. Just knock her out, tie her up, and take her to Mountain and Sea Pass. The others are not a concern."

Ah, this...

This strategy is even less honorable!

"Is there a plan that doesn’t involve exploiting the Snow Maiden’s trust in you?"

Bai Jiaojiao’s question caught Lin Yun by surprise, and he asked, "Why don’t you want to use such a strategy?"

Lin Yun thought that Bai Jiaojiao, as a thousand-year-old Demon King, surely wouldn’t be troubled by such a degree of deception, would she?

Bai Jiaojiao said seriously, "Today, for the sake of victory in war, you can stop at nothing, but in the future, when you look back on all this, you will surely feel guilty towards the Snow Maiden. By then, she will become the most special woman in your heart, and then I would have lost, wouldn’t I?"

Lin Yun: "..."

I really didn’t expect you to go so far.

But Bai Jiaojiao’s words also hit home for him. Lin Yun patted her on the head and said with a smile, "Don’t think too much about it, you are also very special to me."

"Really?"

Overjoyed, Bai Jiaojiao leaned close to Lin Yun, her hands resting on his shoulders. Lin Yun wasn’t wearing a shirt, so this was a good time to take advantage of the situation.

"Hey, what is this?"

Bai Jiaojiao only then noticed a dark mark on Lin Yun’s chest. The angle hadn’t been right before, and she hadn’t paid attention. Now facing Lin Yun, she saw it clearly.

The shadowy mark was indistinct, looking just like a clump, somewhat resembling a wave cresting high.

"Hm?"

Lin Yun looked down in confusion and upon seeing a tattoo on his chest, he was also startled.

He rubbed it with his hand, but it wasn’t dirt; it wouldn’t come off.

Lin Yun was certain that the mark hadn’t been there for long. It definitely wasn’t there when he undressed for the duel with Balder. After that...

Lin Yun thought of the incantation Xiao Qing had taught him; he had chanted the name of a god, and then he felt like he was being watched.

It must have been after that when this mark appeared on his body.

Lin Yun suddenly felt anxious; this sign didn’t seem like a good omen!

Without a doubt, Qing Nu existed on a level that was completely beyond the powers Lin Yun could currently access.

This felt like a newbie player in a gaming zone who had provoked a max-level boss — danger!

"This mark..."

Bai Jiaojiao couldn’t help rubbing her head. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As she stared at the mark for a while, she began to feel a splitting headache, and her eyes were filled with illusions.

She hurriedly turned her head, adjusted her emotions, and then dared to speak to Lin Yun but couldn’t bring herself to look at his chest anymore.

"You seem to have provoked something formidable."

Bai Jiaojiao was somewhat worried; things beyond her control, if they were a boon, so be it, but if they were a disaster, there was no escaping it.

"Don’t panic, I have great fortune and luck, maybe the gods have taken a liking to me, who knows?"

"How did this come about?"

At this point, Bai Jiaojiao had no heart to ask Lin Yun about the strategy for repelling the enemy tomorrow, Compared to this mark, the war between the Grassland and the Central Plains seemed insignificant.

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "I might have recited a name I shouldn’t have."

"What name?"

"It’s better you don’t know. Don’t worry about me, I think, I have quite a destiny with that goddess, it should be a blessing rather than a curse!"

Lin Yun’s attitude was quite good, and he didn’t tell Bai Jiaojiao the name of Qing Nu. Back then, he couldn’t clearly see the name on the stele, perhaps because the name Qing Nu wasn’t one to be spoken lightly, and it was better for Bai Jiaojiao not to know.

His optimistic demeanor left Bai Jiaojiao speechless,

From Lin Yun’s words, she could tell there was more to the story, but since Lin Yun wasn’t sharing, she didn’t press further.

"If you ever need my help in the future, you must tell me."

"Rest assured, I won’t be polite with you. As a matter of fact, I need your help with my cultivation."

To ease Bai Jiaojiao’s nerves, Lin Yun shifted the topic to cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill.

After listening to Lin Yun’s needs regarding Dragon Blood and that other thing, Bai Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, "Can we progress to the twelfth layer?"

Lin Yun: "..."

You bad Dragon, are you craving my body?

"No, you will have to wait patiently!"

Lin Yun said, pinching Bai Jiaojiao’s face, and she let out a playfully silly laugh. Despite having issues to deal with, both of them seemed quite happy.

Afterward, the two returned to the camp together, where the Snow Maiden was already waiting.

Ever since learning that Bai Jiaojiao had gone to find Lin Yun, she couldn’t settle down. If Lin Yun didn’t return soon, she was going to go looking for him.

"You’re back?"

By now, Lin Yun had covered his chest, that mark, it was better not to let others see it.

"Mm, hasn’t Sister gone to rest yet?"

Lin Yun looked at the Snow Maiden, but his mind was occupied with his middle strategy.

Unaware of something off about the Grand Shaman, Lin Yun had only considered high and low strategies, both of which involved betraying the Snow Maiden.

But the middle strategy wouldn’t.

As long as he could distract the Snow Maiden and stir up internal strife in the Grassland, he wouldn’t be betraying her, right?

The Grassland already hid dangers; at most, he was giving a push, and he wouldn’t exploit the trust of the Snow Maiden.

It’s just that time was running short.

Upon seeing Lin Yun, the Snow Maiden, glancing at Bai Jiaojiao by his side, felt displeased and coldly said to Bai Jiaojiao, "You leave first, I have something to discuss with your Leader."

Bai Jiaojiao: "..."

This woman, not letting people sleep in the middle of the night!

She had waited for several days; as soon as Lin Yun returned, she had hoped to snuggle up to him, only to be interrupted by this woman.

"If it weren’t for the fact that my Dharma Form hasn’t recovered, I would show you!"

Bai Jiaojiao left the camp, suppressing her anger. Lin Yun pretended not to notice the jealousy between the two women and said, "Sister, what is it you wanted to discuss with me?"

"What exactly is your relationship with that Bai Jiaojiao!"

Lin Yun: "..."

It’s all over; there’s no escaping now...
