The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 315 - 314 The Struggle for the Main Palace
Lin Yun felt that this Book Immortal was truly useless at everything, holding first place in making trouble.
Among the top ten beauties, excluding those who shall not be named, he didn’t recognize the seventh-ranked Fang Yu, the eighth-ranked Zhao Lingyu, or the ninth-ranked Jiang Chenyu, yet he knew all the rest.
Moreover, did he need those courting strategies?
He knew them all by himself!
But the troublesome Book Immortal presented the statuses of Fang Yu, the Snow Maiden, and Zhao Lingyu separately through critiques.
Fang Yu’s critique: "A guest from the Purple Cloud Palace, grand in virtue and majesty, who could have foreseen a stirred heart upon a fleeting encounter with Yun, leading her astray for a lifetime."
The atmosphere turned very tense at that point, with all the women present wearing a murderous look, even the usually magnanimous Bai Jiaojiao was utterly shocked.
Then came the eighth-ranked Zhao Lingyu.
"Her heart is as high as the sky, her fate as thin as paper, all schemes amount to folly, for the riddle of love is hardest to solve, better to have never met at all."
If there were critiques for everyone, Lin Yun would have accepted it.
But for the ninth-ranked Jiang Chenyu, there was no critique, the Book Immortal only mentioned what she needed.
This only confirmed that the women who already had Lin Yun in their hearts naturally didn’t need him wooing them anymore; a critique would have said it all.
Lin Yun had always known that one day his secrets would come to light, that the bomb would eventually go off, but he never thought it would be detonated by the Book Immortal in such a fashion, and that all the bombs would explode at once.
This could blast him right up to the heavens.
The most infuriating part was that the green tea bitch Zhao Lingyu was calculated into it as well—absolutely infuriating!
Zhao Lingyu could rank eighth, but I’m not convinced!
Even my little maidservants are better than her!
However...
It’s still okay, at least there’s still one bomb that’s hidden away.
Now, everyone was brimming with killing intent.
"You really are something, aren’t you? No wonder the Sect Master was so worried about you before,"
Lin Yu said, her voice tinged with a ghostly tone.
Her feelings at the moment were truly indescribable, initially worried about Lin Yun’s fate, but then she found out he was involved with so many women, and she didn’t even know her own ranking—angry enough to want to stab Lin Yun twice.
But in the end, realizing that she might be ranked first or second, her mood lifted again; indeed, no matter how many confidantes Lin Yun had, her status was always the highest.
For a moment, she wasn’t so angry anymore.
But still, she had to eat that vinegar.
Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t bother to pretend anymore, her apricot eyes wide as she said, "I sent you to be an undercover agent, not to take down your own master!"
The Flower Fairy, overwhelmed by anger, began to laugh instead, teasingly saying, "Among these top ten beauties, more than half have already fallen into your hands; why not make an extra effort to get my master and that what’s-her-name Long Xiaoman as well?"
Lin Yun: "..."
He was now under assault from all sides; even though his mind was full of tactics, in the face of this tide of collective AOE, he had nowhere to hide.
In the end, he could only look toward Bai Jiaojiao.
Only Bai Jiaojiao didn’t make a scene.
Bai Jiaojiao, upon feeling Lin Yun’s gaze, smiled playfully and said, "I don’t mind at all. I don’t care how many women you have, as long as you have me in your heart and place me in the most important position. Other women are merely there to satisfy your needs; that’s the nature of a True Dragon, how could I blame you?!"
A real knife cuts without drawing blood.
If someone like Lin Yu had made a direct confrontation, it would be over and done with, but Bai Jiaojiao’s move seemed supportive on the surface, yet was stirring up more trouble.
Lin Yun inwardly cursed her as an old thief.
It’s no surprise, having lived for over a thousand years, the old Demoness was stirring the pot!
The Flower Fairy was the first to lose her patience. She took out the Sky-splitter and spoke in a melancholic tone, "Is she really the most important person in your heart? Not me?"
Bai Jiaojiao set off a challenge for the primary wife position and Lin Yun felt a tingling on his scalp, knowing the primary wife wasn’t up to him to decide; yet, all these women were not to be trifled with!
Perilous, that’s the word, let me say it again.
Lin Yu didn’t speak, only stared at Lin Yun with an unmistakable threat in her eyes.
Speak up, who is the most important person to you?
Dongfang Hongyue casually created a small fireball, her voice light as she said, "No need to rush, think it through. I definitely won’t blame you for saying the wrong thing."
Lin Yun: "..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Were you planning to cremate me with a blaze if I said something wrong?
While Lin Yun was at a loss, someone came in flustered to report.
"It’s bad, a madman with sea beasts is attacking the city!"
At this time, Mountain and Sea Pass was already on high alert.
The city of Mountain and Sea Pass, which was built relying on the ocean, witnessed the formerly calm sea surge with a visible increase in velocity after the rainfall.
There was a man standing atop the waves, holding a trident, who had arrived just outside Mountain and Sea Pass.
Yuheng and the others immediately sensed trouble.
This man’s arrival was fierce, and he looked more like an enemy than a friend. Plus, he could command sea beasts. Just the power of the sea alone was making it tough for Mountain and Sea Pass to defend against.
There was no time to worry about that; Yuheng immediately sent someone to summon Dongfang Hongyue.
Lin Yun praised the timely arrival.
What perfect timing! I’d rather face sea beasts than respond to that deadly question.
"It must be that man. I took his treasure, and now he’s come for it!"
Lin Yun quickly changed the subject, and with Dongfang Hongyue and the others arriving at such a critical moment, they couldn’t well continue to press on the previous question.
There were matters of greater urgency. With Lin Yun right there, where could he possibly run off to?
"Let’s go, we must meet the enemy first."
Lin Yu actually didn’t need an answer anymore, wasn’t it obvious? Who else could it be but her, the first or second one that couldn’t be mentioned? As a White Tiger Holy Spirit, the true name of the White Tiger must never be spoken. And since Lin Yun deemed her the most beautiful, the conclusion was foregone, wasn’t it?
But still, was she the first or the second?
Lin Yu had a premonition that she was probably the second.
Lin Yun went up to the city wall along with Dongfang Hongyue and the Flower Fairy to observe the enemy, while Bai Jiaojiao took Lin Yun’s hand and said, "Are you still planning to go back to the Grassland? Xiao Qing and the Snow Maiden are waiting for you."
In fact, she felt that Lin Yun didn’t need to return anymore. Her cultivation level had recovered and was even stronger than before. The strength of her True Dragon form was innately superior to that of a Sea Dragon.
And, she hadn’t yet reached her limit.
She may not be able to beat the Snow Maiden with her divine artifact, but if she were to go to the Southern Battlefield, she could sweep through all of the Demon Tribe, even defeating the White-Headed Sculpture King.
King Diao might be the nemesis of serpent-kind, but could he overcome a True Dragon?
Bai Jiaojiao was already yearning to go back and give King Diao a thrashing.
However, she didn’t make the decision rashly and still asked for Lin Yun’s opinion.
This question also left Lin Yun somewhat conflicted.
He didn’t really need to return now. At Snow Mountain, he had acquired a lot of Snow Mountain Divine Power and even a divine artifact. Though he might not be able to defeat the Snow Maiden, he should be able to contest with the Demon King on the Southern Battlefield, and with Bai Jiaojiao’s help, the Central Plains Human Race’s strength had skyrocketed in a short period, no longer requiring him to stay undercover.
This time, his stint as an undercover agent was probably the shortest ever.
But all of a sudden, Lin Yun remembered the message Ya Ruo had left in his hand.
"I must return to the Grassland."
Bai Jiaojiao: "..."
Are you trying to escape your women’s pursuit, or do you intend to wipe clean the Snow Maiden before leaving?
ps: Some people complained about Lin Yu’s handling of the situation being all bark and no bite, but I could write it like this: When Lin Yu and the protagonist meet, she draws her sword in anger, and Lin Yun is also unhappy that she draws her sword, leading to a deeper misunderstanding between them. This would seem to satisfy the condition of a big thunder with heavy rain.
However, writing it like that would not suit the characters.
Lin Yu doesn’t feel nothing for Lin Yun; her emotions were anger, sadness, and panic, all mixed together. She just wanted Lin Yun to explain, not to sentence him to death right away.
And Lin Yun isn’t capricious. He would consider the other’s perspective; even if angry, he would explain first, then soothe. Lin Yu knew that Lin Yun’s days were numbered, and besides, she trusts him. With Lin Yun being so open, would she still make a fuss? I don’t think she would.
I’m not incapable of writing heart-wrenching stories; I just don’t want to. They don’t make me happy, nor do they make you happy, so there’s no need.
The content had been revised before, and I’ll write as much as I can today.
In the future, the author will not personally write any more side stories, and I’ve already deleted the previous ones. Some people are just not worth provoking.
