The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 314 - 313: If There Is No Shura Field, Create One (Two in One)
The Book Immortal’s will to survive was incredibly strong, but clearly, he wasn’t the most emotionally intelligent.
Old man, I did want to save you.
But with Lin Yu right beside us, couldn’t you have waited a bit longer to say that?
"The top ten beauties? Are you interested in that?"
Lin Yu asked casually, and Lin Yun quickly replied, "Beauties? I’m sort of face blind, and I don’t even know what looks good. I just know you must be the most beautiful."
Now, that’s what you call emotional intelligence.
Lin Yu wasn’t concerned about looks, but she was still pleased to hear Lin Yun say that.
However...
"Old sir, you can talk about it, I’m quite interested in that."
"Can you save me first? I’m barely holding on."
Lin Yun looked up at the sky and asked, "Then how should I save you?"
"Just block one bolt of thunder for me."
When the Book Immortal said this, the expressions on both Lin Yu and Lin Yun’s faces changed.
Have Lin Yun take the brunt of the thunder?
Are you sick of living?
"Don’t worry, it won’t kill you!"
The Book Immortal said confidently, assuring them there would be no danger.
"You want me to face the thunderbolt just for one answer? At the very least, without any cost to me, answer three of my questions—excluding the ten beauties."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu glanced at Lin Yun again.
You say you don’t care, but deep down you’re still curious, right?
"Fine, I agree!"
The Book Immortal gritted his teeth and accepted the condition. Lin Yun did not release Little Gold but instead took a leap and flew...
Only to find he couldn’t move any further.
The Book Immortal came up, embraced him, and helped him fly up, causing Lin Yun to become quite annoyed.
"Let go, let go, only a beauty can hold me."
The Book Immortal: "..."
Actually, I can transform too.
With the help of the Book Immortal, Lin Yun finally managed to fly high into the air. People from Mountain and Sea Pass could see Lin Yun’s movements, but beyond that, he was obscured from vision.
The curtain of rain concealed everything, the thunderbolts raged, and one could not look directly at them.
A bamboo slip was enveloped in a misty fairy aura, with an outer layer of light shield resisting the thunderbolts.
"Are you sure I can withstand this thunder?"
Lin Yu was always worried Lin Yun was too bold, but actually, Lin Yun was quite timid.
"You have the Thunder of Origin, no power of thunder can harm you, what’s there to be afraid of?"
The Book Immortal evidently didn’t understand.
Where did that fighting spirit you had when you initially attacked me go?
I am the invincible immortal, afraid only of you.
"Are you lying to me?"
"I never lie, and if I do, may thunder strike me dead."
The Book Immortal made a solemn oath, and it was at this moment that the originally purple thunder turned golden.
Great, are you fooling me or not?
Lin Yun didn’t say much more and decided to trust him this one time.
He grabbed the bamboo slip, and the thunder naturally struck him, with Lin Yun only feeling a surge of pure Spiritual Power entering his body without causing any injury.
With Little Gold’s help, Lin Yun’s body slowly absorbed the power of the Golden Thunderbolt. Though he still appeared soft and youthful, his physical defense had greatly surpassed that of the past.
The thunderbolts struck down one after another, and indeed, as the Book Immortal had said, there were no injuries; instead, they provided Lin Yun with a permanent buff.
Was there such a good thing?
The thunder continued for over ten minutes, perhaps grown tired, the dark clouds finally dissipated, but the rain still fell. When Lin Yun landed on the ground, people came to greet him.
Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu were there, of course, along with the Flower Fairy.
Knowing that Lin Yun and Lin Yu had resolved their conflict, Dongfang Hongyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, upon seeing Lin Yu openly reaching out to take Lin Yun’s hand, Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t help but sense something was amiss.
Uh-oh, are you two getting a bit too close for comfort?
Am I misunderstanding something?
"I’m glad you’re alright."
Seeing that Lin Yun was indeed unharmed, Lin Yu finally felt relieved.
The Book Immortal was a magical treasure, perhaps, by asking him, one could find a way to battle fate.
The few Taoists from Mountain and Sea Pass also recognized Lin Yun, but remembering the previous mention of an inside man and seeing Lin Yu and others not treating Lin Yun like a captive, those who understood would understand, no explanation needed for the rest. They still stood at their posts, confronting the Grassland People.
Meanwhile, on the grasslands, Snow Maiden became extremely anxious when she realized Lin Yun had not returned with her.
Bai Jiaojiao was worried about Lin Yun too, but since she hadn’t found Lin Yun earlier and then encountered Green Snake seizing the treasure and thus had to protect her, she now suggested to the concerned Snow Maiden, "Princess Snow, how about I go explore the city? It’s just that the Leader’s demon pet is in hibernation and needs someone to guard it, could you perhaps take over for me?"
Green Snake had consumed Dragon Blood and was now hibernating.
Bai Jiaojiao was uneasy about leaving just like that, but Snow Maiden could be trusted.
This character was evaluated by Book Immortal, somewhat naïve.
Saying it’s Lin Yun’s demon pet, she should treat it well. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Alright, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of this little snake."
Lin Yun’s pet is her pet, this Bai Jiaojiao, quite sensible.
And so, Bai Jiaojiao began to sneak into Mountain and Sea Pass.
The door opened for her by the inside man Dongfang Hongyue.
Bai Jiaojiao’s timing was perfect. Now a group of people gathered together, facing Book Immortal, many had questions to ask.
Lin Yun had three questions, but they were somewhat taboo, so he didn’t dare to ask them in front of everyone. Better to ask in private, whereas the others could pose their questions.
Book Immortal had stated beforehand that answering questions would come at a cost, but with Lin Yun around, he would find a way to help them get answers without paying.
Dongfang Hongyue led Bai Jiaojiao inside. Seeing that Lin Yun and Lin Yu were getting along peacefully, Bai Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief; she didn’t need to worry unnecessarily now.
At present, a group was looking at an old man. What does this mean?
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have no questions, how about I answer that earlier question first?"
Book Immortal knew he was about to be "fleeced" today, might as well be straightforward about settling the debts myself.
"What question?"
Flower Fairy was still unaware.
Book Immortal answered, "Just now, I promised this young friend to tell him about the top ten beauties of the world, and to provide ways to win their favor."
At these words, Lin Yun immediately felt a tingle on his scalp.
Old man, you’re trying to get me killed, aren’t you!
The atmosphere changed in an instant, and Lin Yun hurriedly explained, "I didn’t agree to it!"
Seeing his panic, Lin Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, "That’s right, it was me who agreed. I’m actually quite curious about who the top ten beauties are."
"Sister Yu must have a spot for sure!"
"Little Flower, you must have a spot as well."
As the two engaged in mutual flattery, Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t help but sneer.
Tch!
Today, if this old man doesn’t mention my name, I’ll make Lin Yun burn him!
Bai Jiaojiao also grew curious; all women have a competitive nature. Although the four women present didn’t openly compete, they were sizing each other up in their minds.
Seeing the two discussing, Book Immortal quickly explained, "There are so many women in the world, it’s hard to judge beauty, so I used this young friend’s preferences as criteria to select the ranking of the top ten beauties."
Lin Yun: "..."
Old man, are you trying to get me killed?
Initially, the girls had their own opinions about who should be ranked first or second; those ranked higher could gloat, while those ranked lower could be unconvinced. But once Book Immortal mentioned it was based on Lin Yun’s preferences, things got awkward...
The atmosphere visibly grew tense in a moment.
Lin Yun quickly said, "I’m not interested in this question, you don’t need to answer it."
"I’m very interested," Flower Fairy said slowly.
Lin Yu silently agreed.
Dongfang Hongyue looked at Lin Yun with threatening eyes.
If I’m not number one, you’re dead!
Lin Yun: "..."
Book Immortal, just you wait, I’ll have you turned to ash in a moment.
"The number one beauty in the rankings..."
Book Immortal opened the Bamboo Slip and suddenly froze.
He dared not read this name aloud.
Speak it and you will die.
"Ranked second..."
"Hold on, who is the first one?"
Flower Fairy was the first to seize on this point and wouldn’t let it go.
"It must not be spoken, must not be spoken. You all should know, there are some beings, who, although they are now silent, will still sense it if you chant their names. Therefore, this name cannot be spoken."
Upon hearing how serious this was, Lin Yun’s harem group naturally did not dare to ask further.
Book Immortal then started to talk about the one ranked second.
Oops, mistake, the second one also can’t be spoken.
"Let’s just start from the third one, the third one is Dongfang Hongyue."
Dongfang Hongyue, upon hearing this, was overjoyed in her heart. Her gaze toward Lin Yun softened a lot, but when faced with the scrutiny of others, she maintained a calm and composed appearance.
Just this?
Isn’t that quite normal?
Lin Yun: "..."
Well, at least the first wife is happy.
Book Immortal then continued to read the approval note: "A marriage is predestined by a thread over a thousand miles, despite being apart by the realms of Biluo and Yellow Springs. Hearts entwined like branches together—through mountains and seas ending, they never part."
Hearing this approval note, one could tell it was a good one. Book Immortal couldn’t help but sigh, "The love in the Mortal Realm is truly incomprehensible. The two of you already share one heart; you need not think of ways to please her anymore."
Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue looked at each other, feeling supremely sweet inside.
The others began to feel sour.
Lin Yu had only recently found out that Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue had an unusual relationship, but she had never imagined that the two of them were related in this way.
If it goes like this, Dongfang Hongyue is still ahead?
In Lin Yun’s heart, is she more important, or is Dongfang Hongyue more important?
Lin Yu was already feeling sour.
Flower Fairy felt even more sour.
She had long known Lin Yun had secrets, but she had never expected that Lin Yun was already with Dongfang Hongyue!
To think she had challenged Dongfang Hongyue to a duel over Lin Yun. The more Flower Fairy thought, the angrier she got, almost to the point of tears.
After all, she had misplaced her heart.
"Fourth, Flower Fairy."
Flower Fairy: "..."
That’s more like it.
Lin Yu: "..."
It’s me who has misplaced her heart!
As for Lin Yun, well, at this point, he was just waiting for death.
Just waiting to see when he would die.
Whatever, just read it!
I will take you with me when I die.
The look Lin Yun gave Book Immortal no longer contained a trace of friendliness, and Book Immortal felt as if there was a character for ’danger’ written on his forehead, immediately feeling puzzled.
Don’t you like beauties?
I’m telling you about beauties, so why are you still angry at me!
Since it had already started, Book Immortal simply carried on.
"A marriage is predestined by a thread over a thousand miles, despite being apart by the realms of Biluo and Yellow Springs. Hearts entwined like branches together—through mountains and seas ending, they never part."
"?????"
The whole room was full of puzzled faces, including Book Immortal.
Hmm?
Did I read that wrong?
Book Immortal looked carefully and confirmed there was no mistake, then glanced at Flower Fairy, and then back at Lin Yun.
Turns out, only the strong are worthy of beauties!
I give up.
This ranking wasn’t arranged according to the people Lin Yun knew; some were familiar to him, and some perhaps not. In the end, apart from the two names that couldn’t be spoken, these two had already tied their fates with Lin Yun over a thousand miles, both had formed union branches, and neither would ever part.
This...
Flower Fairy was a bit lost. Did I, or did I not misplace my heart?
"This, I probably don’t need to explain, right? It’s the same as the previous one."
The Book Immortal looked towards Lin Yun, and Lin Yun closed his eyes.
I need to think, whether this body of mine can withstand being chopped by knives, hacked by swords, and scorched by fire.
"Next, please!"
Lin Yu felt tired, while Dongfang Hongyue watched the Flower Fairy with a proud face.
Alright, the cards are all on the table now.
I’ve won!
Dongfang Hongyue felt that today was the happiest day of these past few days.
Itching with rage, the Flower Fairy wished she could start a fight with Dongfang Hongyue right away, but instead she turned her resentful gaze towards Lin Yun.
You clearly said I was the cutest!
Lin Yun: "..."
Some people are alive, yet he’s already dead.
Later, he’ll have to coax at least three people.
The fifth place should be Lin Yu, right...
"Fifth place, Bai Jiaojiao."
Bai Jiaojiao was also stunned, huh, it’s me!
Lin Yun always disliked her kisses, could it be that in his eyes she was really this beautiful?
Bai Jiaojiao gave Lin Yun a flirtatious look, while Lin Yu just crumbled entirely.
I couldn’t even compete with an...
Alright, she’s grown up.
The Flower Fairy’s gaze grew even more mournful, so you have others too!
"True feelings unspoken should not be taken seriously, fearing a pearl might be mistaken for a fish’s eye. The most sentimental always suffer the most, their faint traces nowhere to be found."
This review was finally different from the previous ones, explained the Book Immortal: "You’ve been deeply devoted to him without speaking up, which makes it easy to be overlooked, and in the end, to leave heartbroken."
Lin Yun: "..."
This is like sowing discord!
Though he had always wanted to complain about Bai Jiaojiao, the two of them had experienced life and death together, and Bai Jiaojiao had been generous to him despite sometimes lusting after his body, but Lin Yun had never ignored her.
Hisss, but he really hadn’t considered that Bai Jiaojiao genuinely liked him; he always thought she was just a naughty little dragon.
"Jiaojiao, don’t listen to this old man’s nonsense. I definitely won’t overlook you," Lin Yun promptly stood up for her. Three jealous onlookers uniformly turned their gaze to Lin Yun, who showed no sign of fear.
After all, a dead man has nothing to lose. It won’t make a difference now.
Upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, Bai Jiaojiao immediately said cheerfully, "I never believed him, but you have to prove it properly!"
"How should I prove it?"
"Hold me."
Bai Jiaojiao didn’t wait for Lin Yun to hold her; she pounced into his arms and snuggled up.
Hehe, getting close with Lin Yun in front of the other women, what an excitement.
Dongfang Hongyue and the others were enraged, their glares nearly killing Lin Yun on the spot. Lin Yun’s scalp went numb; pushing Bai Jiaojiao away didn’t seem right, but neither did not pushing her away.
"Hurry up, next one!"
I’m waiting for my execution here!
The Book Immortal also admired him secretly, thinking you must have bagged all who aren’t in the top ten, right?
"Sixth place, Snow."
Lin Yu: "..."
She’s already started sharpening her sword.
"...Tenth place, Long Xiaoman."
As he read up to the tenth place, Lin Yu’s name was still not mentioned.
Lin Yu: "..."
On the contrary, Lin Yu’s mood became calm.
But Dongfang Hongyue suddenly couldn’t smile anymore.
She always thought she was first because the first two places were taboos that could not be mentioned.
However, Lin Yu’s name had not appeared in the ranking at all, how could this be!
Meaning, Lin Yu was either first or second...
I feel like I’m burning something...
