The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 311 - 310: Thieves Don’t Leave Empty-Handed (10/26)
The Snow Maiden hadn’t grasped the Flower Fairy’s intent, and just moments ago, she had also been quietly on guard against a sneak attack from the Flower Fairy.
As it turned out, the Flower Fairy indeed launched a sneak attack, but it was on Yuan Zidan, and then she ran away after striking.
Uh, is it that confusing?
But, it didn’t matter anymore, she couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it.
She turned her head to look at Lin Yun, now finally, there were no more disturbances, and they could be left alone. She had been worried that someone else might reach the treasures before them, so they hadn’t spoken much while rushing over.
Now, the Snow Maiden asked with concern, "Ah Yun, how did you manage to escape? They didn’t hurt you, did they?"
"No, they were actually quite nice to me!"
Almost fought over who would accompany him to find opportunities, but that goes without saying.
"Hmm?"
"Central Plains people value the humane treatment of prisoners, and then I found the opportunity to escape."
Lin Yun realized he couldn’t be too smug, but luckily he circled back to his original point.
The Snow Maiden didn’t think much of it, forgetting that previously at the Mountain and River Pass, the captured prisoners were all hung up and beaten.
"That’s great, just stay with me when we leave, and we’ll join forces to teach Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue a good lesson!"
The Snow Maiden was brimming with confidence, feeling that they couldn’t beat her, while Lin Yun felt awkward about it.
Ah, the treasure hunt in the Secret Realm is over, so should I return or continue my undercover role?
Better to play it by ear and see how things go. It might be best not to expose himself if he can remain under cover until it’s necessary.
Otherwise, he wasn’t quite sure how to face the Snow Maiden; if they met in battle, he didn’t know what he would do.
"Hmm, we’ll talk about that later, let me check out the treasure I just snatched."
Holding the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Lin Yun was startled by the first few characters he saw, but after opening it, he realized it was just a misunderstanding.
It was simply a coincidence of having the same name.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas also listed some rare and exotic creatures by name and type, but only after they were subdued could the taming methods be found.
Within the Classic of Mountains and Seas was a small mountain and sea ecosystem that could store living creatures.
Lin Yun was instantly tempted; after waiting for so long, he finally had it today—a magical storage treasure was now his.
Being able to store living things meant he could store other items too!
He even thought about having Xiao Qing enter it right away, but with the Snow Maiden present, he didn’t call Xiao Qing out.
Seeing that Lin Yun got the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Snow Maiden was also happy.
But then she remembered what the Book Immortal had said and pouted angrily, "That stinky old man said I won’t gain anything; it makes me so mad. And it’s true—I got nothing."
Lin Yun knew she was talking about the Book Immortal. That old man really was unlikeable, probably too accustomed to pride, but Lin Yun wouldn’t indulge him.
"He also said I’m the dumbest, I really wish I could knock him out with a hoop!"
The Snow Maiden waved her tiny fist in a fit of rage, her vengeful demeanor was quite adorable.
Lin Yun couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t listen to that old man; that rotten old fellow is very bad; he’s just jealous because you’re pure, cute, and pretty."
Flattered by Lin Yun’s compliments, the Snow Maiden became a bit shy.
"Don’t say that about him either, the old man does have a knack for accuracy."
She treated the Book Immortal as if he were a fortune teller.
Lin Yun chuckled and said, "He claims you’ll walk away with nothing; today, we have to get our hands on something, no matter what!"
Having come all this way, how could they leave empty-handed?
Lin Yun turned and noticed, hey, the pearls on this pillar look really nice.
Lin Yun leaped up, grabbed a pearl, and forcefully pried it from the pillar.
"Hm? It has spiritual energy? And it’s the essence of water."
Only then did Lin Yun realize that it was a treasure.
With that thought, he began to pry off the pearls from several other stone pillars, the Snow Maiden didn’t care for such items, but seeing Lin Yun seemingly eager, she started to help as well.
The Azure Dragon Statue that was originally closing its eyes now had its entire head cracked open.
When the last pearl was removed, all the pearls suddenly merged into one and flew towards Lin Yun. Lin Yun reached out and caught it, and the pearl directly entered his Dantian.
The Dantian’s cluster of pearls had gained a new member.
Lin Yun seriously wondered if he was reincarnated from a clam spirit—his belly full of pearls would be quite something if cut open.
Not sure what the newcomer was, Lin Yun expressed his regret to the Snow Maiden, "Sorry, I had originally wanted to give it to you."
"It’s okay."
The Snow Maiden had plenty of treasures, she wasn’t short of this little thing, and was already quite satisfied with Lin Yun’s gesture.
The ground started trembling, and both the Snow Maiden and Lin Yun felt that something was off.
Ah crap, could taking the pearls cause trouble?
"We better skedaddle..."
Seeing that the escape formation was flickering uncertainly, Lin Yun quickly grabbed the Snow Maiden and ran over, telling her to go down first.
Lin Yun followed right after.
But as he jumped, the formation completely shattered.
Lin Yun found himself on a cloud and the next second, he fell through the mist, plunging straight towards the ground.
The point of impact was precisely at the center of the Mountain and Sea Pass.
Damn it, I can’t fly yet!
Falling from the sky without a parachute, what do you do?
"Qiaobian, change for me!"
Lin Yun conjured a shield for himself, grabbed onto it, and the speed of his descent slowed down a bit.
Gradually, people in the city noticed the person falling from the sky and were somewhat surprised; previously, those who had left had appeared directly on the ground.
In the city, the Flower Fairy, Lin Yu, and Dongfang Hongyue all witnessed Lin Yun’s fall.
Dongfang Hongyue and the Flower Fairy were about to help, but Lin Yu, like an arrow released from its bow, charged out.
Without a word, Dongfang Hongyue also flew over.
Lin Yu had been refusing to communicate with her, and now, with such a forceful aura, she was really afraid that Lin Yu would go mad.
Dongfang Hongyue’s Escape Technique was still more formidable than Lin Yu’s; she reached him first and held Lin Yun in her embrace. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Lin Yun didn’t realize she had any intention of shielding him; instead, he happily dropped his shield and embraced Hong Yue, his wife.
A moment apart, and he missed her already.
Hong Yue, his wife, is so considerate, knowing that I can’t fly.
Actually, he wouldn’t die from the fall; when it was almost time to land, Fire Escape could solve the problem.
But being held by Xiang Xiang, his wife, was certainly more comfortable than a hasty descent.
However, after landing, Lin Yun suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.
Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue stood opposed to each other.
Only now did Lin Yu realize that the relationship between Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yun was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
The Flower Fairy also came over. Unaware of what had happened before, she saw how close Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue were and snatched Lin Yun back.
The jealousy from earlier hadn’t subsided, and now this?
Lin Yu glanced at the clueless Flower Fairy and slowly said, "Little Flower, let go of Lin Yun, I have something to say to him."
"Oh."
The Flower Fairy sensed that something was amiss but didn’t think too much of it.
Perhaps it was Lin Yun’s relationship with the Snow Maiden that Lin Yu could no longer stand by and watch, right?
Or maybe it was something else.
But Lin Yun acutely sensed that something was off.
Hm?
Did Lin Yu find out about me and Hong Yue, my wife?
