The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 307 - 306: I Refuse (Fifth Release 6/26)
Noticing the presence of others around them, Dongfang Hongyue also felt somewhat shy after a long kiss, but she couldn’t bear to leave Lin Yun’s embrace and still clung to his waist, full of attachment.
Maybe this is what love is!
I’ve had quite a few intimate encounters with Lin Yun, but at first, it was just a physical reaction, comfortable though it was, I felt humiliated.
The second time was the same.
But it was only during the third time, because of something Lin Yun said, that I felt a sweetness in my heart, and without losing control, I wanted to be close to him.
Now, I really wanted to stick close to him, even if it was just hugging, I felt extremely happy and content, not even caring about the gazes of others.
When Lin Yun saw Dongfang Hongyue’s timidity, he remembered that the Book Immortal still needed to be dealt with.
Being so close with Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yun’s killing intent was not as intense as before, and with a casual summon, Qiaobian was back in his hand.
"Old man, are you sure you won’t apologize?"
With a sigh, the Book Immortal lamented that he had never been subjected to such treatment in his life, but having finally met someone extraordinary, he didn’t want to stay here any longer.
"What I said was not false, this young lady’s ancestor must have committed a heinous sin. It’s because of this that her clan has been cursed by the heavens to be punished generation after generation. The Heavenly Book does not make mistakes. If you insist on seeking justice for her and blame me for wrongfully hurting her, then let’s say that I was wrong in that respect—I should not have struck another person."
Lin Yun: "..."
For some reason, my anger hadn’t completely subsided, but I couldn’t bring myself to act either.
If it were not for the fact that the other party had acted arrogantly before and bullied Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yun would not have considered striking an elderly man.
But now that he had said what he did, it somehow made Lin Yun feel a bit in the wrong.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hongyue began to reflect on herself. Perhaps the Book Immortal was right; maybe an ancestor of the Dongfang Family really had committed a great wrong!
It’s just that if the Book Immortal had been a bit nicer before, it wouldn’t have escalated to this point. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Back then, Dongfang Hongyue had been so angry that she wanted to fight the Book Immortal to the death, but upon calming down, she realized it didn’t have to reach such an extent.
After all, she could be hasty too.
And her reason for stopping Lin Yun from killing the Book Immortal was consideration for Lin Yun.
Evil people carry a miasma, good people exude a pure energy. The Book Immortal’s personality was indeed annoying, but he was not evil. Observing his words and actions, although his attitude was terrible, he did no evil deeds. Furthermore, this Book Immortal was an Artifact Spirit she had never encountered before. The implications behind it were significant and unpredictable.
To kill him would indeed provide temporary satisfaction, but to incur misfortune as a result was not what she wished to see.
Moreover, the Book Immortal had not intended to kill her.
Now that a fight had already taken place, it was best to turn hostility into peace. Besides, if such a treasure recognizes Lin Yun as its master, it would also benefit Lin Yun.
Dongfang Hongyue said, "I was too impulsive before as well. I hope you won’t hold it against me, sir. Shall we consider our grievances null and void?"
The Book Immortal could not have asked for more, being still trapped here!
"Young lady, you are quite good. It’s a pity..."
Lin Yun shot a sharp glance over.
The Book Immortal hurriedly corrected himself, "Actually, your fate can change as well. Only virtue can wash away sins. If you acquire enough virtue, the curse in your bloodline will also be lifted. Look at the young man next to you; he has a lot of virtue. If you have a child with him, with his protection of good fortune and virtue, your child will not suffer from the bloodline curse anymore. The curse of the Dongfang Family would end with you."
The Book Immortal gave this reasonable advice because he noticed that the two of them appeared to be in that sort of relationship.
Nonsense, haven’t they been kissing in front of me? Are they not a couple?
Dongfang Hongyue was stunned. She had imagined many ways to break the curse, such as gaining strength, surpassing limits, breaking the curse...
Yet, the Book Immortal told her that the Dongfang Family could resolve the issue by finding someone with strong fortune and virtue.
The ancestors of the Dongfang Family would probably die of anger if they knew.
But this might also be fate’s will; if she hadn’t been the last hope of her clan, she wouldn’t have survived to this day, wouldn’t have met Lin Yun, and wouldn’t have known about such an outrageous method.
A light flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes.
He didn’t like the idea of having and raising children, but making an effort to have children was something he was willing to do.
Dongfang Hongyue, seeing the lustful look in Lin Yun’s eyes, couldn’t help but blush and pinch his waist. Lin Yun winced in pain and retaliated by pinching Dongfang Hongyue’s waist.
But that can’t really be called a pinch, it was more like a caress.
The two of them flirted and teased each other while the Book Immortal watched, eating dog food with a forced smile on his face.
"Now that we’ve resolved our grievances, can we get rid of this thunder and lightning, please? We elderly don’t like lightning striking nearby."
Lin Yun was aware of the situation; now was not the time for flirting. He simply retaliated casually and then commanded Little Gold to withdraw his Divine Skills and summoned Xiao Qing, who had been hiding and preparing to ambush the Book Immortal, back to his Dantian.
When he made his move earlier, he had come well-prepared and gave it his all.
He didn’t expect the Book Immortal to be so easy to deal with.
Before Xiao Qing could make a move, he and Little Gold had already taken care of him.
Indeed, Little Gold was a cross-boundary bug.
And he himself was a bug with indiscernible combat power.
Dongfang Hongyue could easily deal with him, not even making a move in front of the Book Immortal, yet the Book Immortal couldn’t do anything to Lin Yun.
Having a way to handle the Book Immortal, his forced apology should count for something, although Lin Yun wasn’t satisfied. Considering he had given Dongfang Hongyue some advice, let’s call it even for what happened earlier.
"You say you’re the Heavenly Book and want to acknowledge me as your master? I think you should give me a reason!"
Lin Yun always felt that such an eagerly offered gift must not be accepted; it surely was a trick.
The Book Immortal, upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, felt a bit of a blow to his dignity.
He was an elderly person, also a rare treasure, and to acknowledge someone as his master, the other party was supposed to joyfully and gratefully accept, right?
But it seemed Lin Yun was even somewhat reluctant to accept him, even after they had a fight.
I don’t hold grudges.
But could you at least give me, a senior, a minimum amount of respect?
The Book Immortal muttered to himself, put away the Divine Brush, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed skyward at a forty-five-degree angle, saying, "I am the Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Book, which knows everything from the past and future. But knowing too many secrets is intolerable to the world, so I could only hide in the Secret Realm. If I were in the outside world, I would be struck by Heavenly Thunder."
That’s why the old man was particularly afraid of thunder and lightning; he had already restrained himself a lot. In a past age too far back to remember, he had been struck by lightning and learnt his lesson.
"You have great virtue, and if you were to accept me, I could be protected by you and wouldn’t need to be trapped in the Secret Realm anymore."
"So what use are you?"
Hearing this, the Book Immortal’s mouth curled upward as he smiled and said, "I know everything in the world. As long as you pay a sufficient price, I can tell you the answers. Your cultivation journey will be without any bumps."
"That’s really nice."
Lin Yun seemed quite satisfied, which finally made the Book Immortal relax and reveal a contented smile.
I just knew it, no one can resist the charm of the Heavenly Book!
"But, I refuse."
