The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 304 - 303: All Her Devotion Was Misplaced
Hearing the Book Immortal’s assessment, the Snow Maiden almost went straight for the loops.
Can’t you talk normally?
Seeing the Snow Maiden’s indignation, the Book Immortal then said, "Young girl, no need to be angry. In your life, you will be deceived by many, but that’s not entirely because you aren’t too clever; it’s also because you are quite naive and sincere."
Low EQ: You aren’t too clever.
High EQ: You are naive and sincere.
The Book Immortal managed to offend her either way, and faint blue light bloomed from the loops in the Snow Maiden’s hand, indicating she was ready to give this stinky old man a beating. She heard the Book Immortal say, "A fool has his own kind of luck. Your luck isn’t bad; you will lose some things and gain others. Just keep your optimism, and life won’t be too bad."
Although the Book Immortal’s reward was supposedly to answer their most pressing question, he was now clearly acting like a fortune teller.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but ponder what question she should ask when it was her turn. If it’s about the thing she most wanted to know, well, there really wasn’t much. Did she want to know if she could change her destiny in the future?
But asking such a question was meaningless. Asking about one’s own destiny, wasn’t that just believing in fate after all?
Forget it; at that time, the Book Immortal would know on his own, she wouldn’t need to worry.
"What you most want to know is how to have children... ah, you have wasted an opportunity. You could have asked your man about this kind of question."
The Book Immortal flipped to the back of the bamboo slip and was also startled by the content there.
The Snow Maiden was immediately mortified and furious—she had plenty of things she wanted to know. Whether Lin Yun was safe now, what the Secret Realm was really about, whether the Gourd Brothers could rescue Snow White from the Spider Spirit’s hands...
Who knew the Book Immortal would pick out the question about childbirth.
She admitted she was a little curious, but how could that be the thing she most wanted to know!
The Book Immortal’s remark stunned the whole scene and then all the girls present, except Xiao Qing, were overcome with a profound sense of crisis.
It was said the Snow Mountain Witch was pure and chaste, so why did she suddenly want to have children?
Thinking about how Lin Yun had recently gone undercover to her side, and how the Snow Maiden cared a lot about Lin Yun, this was concerning...
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense.
The Book Immortal truly hadn’t foreseen that a casual snarky comment of his would make all the women present change their colors.
"Hmm? Is something wrong?"
The Book Immortal seemed to have noticed something amusing, while only Bai Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at!"
The Snow Maiden looked at Bai Jiaojiao in annoyance. She was already irritated with Bai Jiaojiao, and hearing her laugh only fueled her anger.
"Nothing much, I just also feel like having a child now."
"You!"
The Snow Maiden was so infuriated she wanted to pummel her.
The Book Immortal interjected with satisfaction, "If every cultivator had your kind of thoughts, that would be great. Most cultivators only know that having offspring affects their cultivation, but they don’t realize that life always has its limits, and the descendants of cultivators usually have greater talents. Accumulation over generations makes it much easier to break through those limits. Cultivation against the heavens, is it something that can be achieved in one generation? So, having no offspring is not an option!"
The topic jumped to having children, which was a bit off track. Dongfang Hongyue, who had been watching them chat so happily, grew impatient and hurried them along, "Shouldn’t we move on to the next person?"
Dongfang Hongyue was in no mood to be jealous now. After all, when Bai Jiaojiao spoke of having children, she definitely meant with Lin Yun. Can people and dragons even have children?
This was nothing short of wishful thinking. At any other time, Dongfang Hongyue would have been overcome with anger and jealousy, but now, her face spelled out three words: Hurry it up!
Only then did the Book Immortal say, "There’s no opportunity for you on Book Mountain, you can also go back."
"You say there’s none, but I insist on going."
The Snow Maiden didn’t say a word and directly headed for the path up the mountain. The Book Immortal did not stop her, only sighed and said, "People always think they can overcome fate, as if the chess pieces on a board believe it’s themselves who defeated the opponent, how laughable, how tragic!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu’s heart suddenly tightened.
Her resolve wavered slightly.
The words of the Book Immortal made some sense, and Lin Yu was no longer the naive girl she used to be, unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth. She now harbored fear.
But quickly, her determination returned.
Whether she could succeed or not, she had only one choice.
If successful, she and Lin Yun would soar together; if Lin Yun were to die, she would join him in the Yellow Springs.
The next one was Green Snake. By now, others had left, leaving only their own people. But the Grassland People had started their ascent, and Lin Yu and her companions were growing anxious.
They couldn’t let the Grassland People get that treasure!
However, it seemed that the Book Immortal was somewhat biased towards Yuan Zidan. There was nothing they could do; as an old acquaintance, he had taken a shortcut, being the first to ascend the mountain.
"You are quite interesting," the Book Immortal said.
He held the bamboo slip, looking at something related to Green Snake.
Bai Jiaojiao tensed up immediately upon hearing ’interesting,’ knowing the Book Immortal had a twisted sense of humor, and what he found interesting might not be good news.
Green Snake, somewhat puzzled, spoke up, "Please enlighten me, sir."
"Your life will involve many major events, but each time you will be of little significance. However, not attracting attention could be considered your good fortune. One day, you will become a ruler by your own right, but you have always been learning from others. When you realize how to be yourself, you will then truly become a ruler."
Bai Jiaojiao was then reassured and, taking Green Snake’s hand, said, "My Little Qing can also become a ruler, that’s impressive!"
The Book Immortal smiled without replying.
His favorite pastime was revealing secrets of fate, but he never made everything crystal clear.
He would not deceive anyone; everything he said was true, but some things... you just have to guess for yourself.
And that’s very interesting!
If Green Snake, with her personality, could become a ruler, it would naturally be because Bai Jiaojiao was no longer by her side.
Without any support, of course, a child will grow up.
"What you most want to know right now is how to become a Transforming Dragon. Head up the mountain; there, you will find your opportunity," he said.
Upon hearing that Little Qing really had the chance to transform into a dragon, Bai Jiaojiao became even happier. Indeed, her sister had a promising future.
Urged by Bai Jiaojiao, Green Snake passed the Book Immortal and started up Book Mountain.
Now, it was finally the turn of Lin Yun’s girlfriends.
"Little Flower, you go first!"
Confident in her own abilities, Lin Yu let Flower Fairy go ahead to have her ascend the mountain first.
Without demur, Flower Fairy approached and grabbed the Book Immortal’s bamboo slip. The unremarkable slip released a fiery red glow for the first time and four lines of poetry emerged.
"Half of life’s folly in half a scroll of book, a whole heart’s affection wrongly hooked. The phoenix bathes in fire by chance, but love like smoke can’t find romance."
Seeing the poetry, both Flower Fairy and Lin Yu were stunned.
A whole heart’s affection wrongly hooked...
They both thought of Lin Yun. Did the verse mean Flower Fairy loved the wrong person?
Meanwhile, Lin Yun, who was rowing towards them, felt a chill down his spine...
