The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 319 - 318 Can People Really Bully a Divine Artifact Like This?
Lin Yun fully displayed what it meant to be a wife-spoiling fanatic, Dongfang Hongyue’s heart was brimming with joy, the sorrow caused by her own bloodline just moments ago now fully replaced by Lin Yun’s sweet attentions.
Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy were full of envy.
But that’s all there is to it. What’s so great about that? Just a pearl, right?
Without it, couldn’t you still practice?
As for Bai Jiaojiao, she transformed directly into human form and threw herself into Lin Yun’s arms to act coquettishly, pleading, "I want one too, I love glowing pearls the most."
Such behavior was too much for the Flower Fairy, who finally couldn’t stand it any longer and snorted coldly, "In broad daylight, what kind of decorum is this!"
Bai Jiaojiao said nonchalantly, "Isn’t there the Great Mist to cover us? Even if we were exposed, it doesn’t matter. What’s wrong with getting close to the person I like? If you want to join in, go ahead."
"You!"
The Flower Fairy was furious, glaring at Bai Jiaojiao, this shameless little dragoness, wishing she could simply ✄ her.
"If you’re coming, then come, who’s afraid of you!"
The Flower Fairy moved over and took hold of one of Lin Yun’s arms, starting a tug of war with Bai Jiaojiao, with Lin Yun stuck in between the two. Whether or not their bosoms brushed against him, his face was filled with pleasure.
See, even though I’m in the midst of a Shura Field, I’ve still managed to survive with my maneuvers.
Not only have I survived, but I’m also living quite comfortably.
Lin Yu finally could not tolerate it anymore. She glanced at Lin Yun and said, "Since the battle’s over, you might as well retract your Divine Skills and let’s go back together to discuss the serious matters! You two stop fooling around as well."
Lin Yu exerted the authority of the chief wife, and Dongfang Hongyue immediately noticed that her position was being challenged.
However, she did not refute Lin Yu’s words, instead further adding, "Yu, Lin Yun’s identity should not be known by too many people. If the relationship between him and me becomes public, it won’t be a good thing for him. I ask you to keep it a secret."
Of course, Lin Yu would not divulge any secrets, but Dongfang Hongyue’s pointed reminder was clearly aiming to drive a wedge between her and Lin Yun, seemingly proving that her relationship with Lin Yun was not as close as it seemed.
Lin Yu smiled lightly, "Of course, we’ll have a detailed discussion about all the love and hate between you later."
The two were at loggerheads. Suddenly, the Flower Fairy realized, darn it, she’d been sidelined from the race to be the chief wife and reduced to just a concubine?
And there’s also a Bai Jiaojiao of equal rank competing for favor?
Bai Jiaojiao had a much clearer understanding of her own position.
She knew she couldn’t possibly outshine Dongfang Hongyue; their emotional foundation wasn’t strong enough. So she didn’t compete for the position of chief wife, but instead, she provoked others to vie for it while taking the opportunity to curry favor with Lin Yun.
She was happy to watch the struggles play out—what did it matter if they determined a winner? In any case, she was already holding tight to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun took advantage of the Great Mist to hide his and Bai Jiaojiao’s presence, returning to Mountain and Sea Pass, while Lin Yu and the others went to report their achievements.
Yuheng and the others were deeply impressed by the White Dragon, it was a pity they only caught a glimpse before it disappeared into the clouds, which was indeed consistent with the legend of the Divine Dragon being elusive.
Now, with no one to disturb them, Bai Jiaojiao was sticking close to Lin Yun and talking.
"Shouldn’t you thank me?"
Bai Jiaojiao knew Lin Yun understood her implication.
Without Bai Jiaojiao drawing fire, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Lin Yun to resolve the situation in one stroke.
For the dispute to have calmed down, Lin Yun had to thank his good brother, Yuan Zidan, who not only provided a treasure but also timely initiated a war when Lin Yun was in crisis, and then discreetly made himself scarce when the situation was nearly resolved—the most commendable opponent in Shenzhou.
Lin Yun had to give him a thumbs up; this was a respectable adversary.
And then there was Bai Jiaojiao. Indeed, the explosive had already detonated, Bai Jiaojiao fanned the flames and then drew hatred, attracting the Flower Fairy’s attention. With the Flower Fairy and Bai Jiaojiao competing for favor, and with Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue competing, no one was left to bother Lin Yun.
Perfect!
Let them quarrel, and Lin Yun would take each down, one by one. They would gradually accept the reality of Lin Yun’s fickle heart while they fought, and then, wouldn’t that satisfy Lin Yun’s little goal of having them all?
"What reward would you like?"
Lin Yun pinched the clever little dragon, and Bai Jiaojiao playfully said, "I want a kiss from you."
"I’ll satisfy you later, they’re coming back soon." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"I want it now!"
Bai Jiaojiao, clinging to Lin Yun’s arm, started acting sweetly, and Lin Yun really couldn’t resist her, so he indulged her, leaning in for a kiss.
Bai Jiaojiao’s lips were especially sweet today, probably also because she knew Lin Yu and the others would be back soon; this made Lin Yun feel particularly thrilled, his heartbeat quickened noticeably.
Bai Jiaojiao had a keen perception. Just before Lin Yu and the others arrived, she pushed Lin Yun away while giving him a seductive glance.
That glance carried a hint of gloating, as if to say, "Look, we had our fun secretly and got away with it."
Shortly after, the Flower Fairy was the first to enter the room. Seeing that Lin Yun and Bai Jiaojiao were keeping a certain distance, she felt somewhat relieved.
She didn’t try to cling to Lin Yun’s arm again; that would be like admitting defeat in the race for the position of chief wife.
She couldn’t understand why—despite having so many in-depth interactions with Lin Yun—she still felt behind in the situation.
Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu entered the room after the Flower Fairy, turning their gaze towards the seated Lin Yun.
Although the question from before still had no answer, it seemed as though an answer had already emerged.
"This unfilial disciple may be somewhat fickle and lustful, but the person he loves the most is certainly me. It’s just that, since he has become involved with those girls, he must not want to part with them. Well, I am the eldest sister after all. I suppose I should be more forgiving! Otherwise, this unfilial disciple will have a hard time."
Dongfang Hongyue looked at Lin Yu, her confidence brimming.
Truth be told, Dongfang Hongyue really couldn’t understand how this old lady had become her rival in love.
However, she didn’t bother delving into the process. After all, she was now a younger sister as well.
Lin Yu watched the triumphant Dongfang Hongyue and couldn’t help but snicker inwardly.
The Demon Lord was truly naive. Thinking back on their time together, Dongfang Hongyue was indeed not that bad.
"Lin Yun must be coveting her beauty; it’s just lust. After all, in his heart, I am the most beautiful, hmph, silly Dongfang Hongyue is still feeling smug. Just now, Lin Yun was only trying to make you happy, but it is my place in his heart that is the highest. He knows he doesn’t need to coax me and that’s just fine, that’s our tacit understanding!"
That’s what Lin Yu thought, and looking at Dongfang Hongyue, her eyes naturally bore less jealousy and a bit more pride.
Of course, she was still quite jealous, even though she knew that Lin Yun liked her the most, yet he had never shown such indulgence towards her in front of others.
In the past, Lin Yu didn’t care about this, for she was a wanderer, not so sentimental.
But after watching Lin Yun intimidate two divine artifacts for the sake of Dongfang Hongyue, her heart genuinely felt envy.
She too wanted to be cherished and pampered by Lin Yun like that!
"Alright, everyone is here, let’s go through the matters one by one."
Lin Yun took the initiative, calling out the Book Immortal first to prevent the few girls from vying for favor again in front of everyone, not likely to happen for the third time.
Moreover, they had each found a tacit understanding and had identified their respective targets.
Lin Yun summoned the Book Immortal and said, "You promised earlier that you would answer three questions unconditionally, so let’s start now."
The Book Immortal retorted, "Didn’t I just answer one?"
"Oh, you mean about the Calming Sea Pearl? How could that count? You never said that was one of the three questions!"
The Book Immortal: "..."
What scene have I not witnessed?
But he had truly never seen someone so shamelessly thick-skinned.
The Book Immortal, flustered to the point of his beard fluttering, finally decided not to argue with Lin Yun, the bully. There was no point in degrading himself if he couldn’t win.
"Fine, I won’t argue with you. I will answer your three questions as a way to repay you for saving my life before. But the questions you ask must not broach taboos. Everything that should not be known has been sealed, and even I would not know them," said the Book Immortal.
If he had acknowledged Lin Yun as his master, he wouldn’t need to seal those secrets. Being punished by heaven for knowing too much, he had to seal those secrets to survive outside the Secret Realm and avoid divine retribution after leaving Lin Yun’s side.
This was what the Book Immortal disliked the most, but compared to staying by Lin Yun’s side, he preferred sealing them away.
"Alright, I’ll start with the first question. You need to be specific and clear. The past of the Four Kings, their future, their abilities, and the impact they will have on this world," Lin Yun said.
The Book Immortal: "..."
You’re treating one question as three, aren’t you!
Initially wanting to argue with Lin Yun, the Book Immortal adjusted his mood and chose to let it go.
Forget it, I won’t compete with the young. Let the young man fend for himself.
Bai Jiaojiao couldn’t help but want to laugh.
The old man had been so tough before, but now he was being thoroughly bullied by Lin Yun.
"The Four Kings, actually refer to the Emperor and the Four Kings. In ancient times, all living beings were ruled by the Emperor and the Four Kings. The Emperor was known as the Central Saint Emperor, and the Four Kings were the King of Zhennan, King Pingxi, Northern Spear King, and Sea-King. The fall of the Emperor..."
The Book Immortal said this much and then, with an air of resignation, shook his head. "It seems to involve secrets. I don’t know about that part now, and even if I did, I probably shouldn’t speak of it. After that, without the Emperor, the Four Kings were like dragons without a head and decided to vie for the position of the new Emperor. This was the battle of kings.
The victor could inherit the Emperor’s legacy. The Four Kings competed for many years without determining a winner. Meanwhile, the Four Spirits Barrier loosened, and numerous members of the Demon Race broke into Shenzhou. To expel the Demon Race, the Four Kings recognized their destiny. To strengthen the seal, the Four Kings had to sacrifice their own bloodlines and the fortune of their entire clans, suppressing the demons in the four directions. Only they possessed such strength."
Speaking up to this point, the Book Immortal said with some melancholy, "I had an old connection with the Sea-King, and I was the one who arranged his funeral. The Sea-King was the strongest and was the first to die in battle. Moreover, he had already arranged for his descendants to survive on an immortal island at the edge of the East Sea, using the lifespans of the Yuan Family to reinforce the barrier. Of the Four Kings, only the Yuan Clan still has descendants remaining in the world.
The remaining three kings continued to battle with the demon race for many more years. Eventually, King Pingxi was buried at White Tiger Ridge, the Northern Spear King died on Snow Mountain, and the King of Zhennan fought to the end. His descendants fought with the remaining demon race for thousands of years, until the demon race was extinguished. The King of Zhennan destroyed all historical records and immolated himself on Flame Mountain, completing the final seal."
Hearing this, Lin Yun suddenly became contemplative; he had visited the demon-suppressing lands of the west and north.
The Book Immortal’s account of this history was briefly touched upon, but Lin Yun couldn’t help but admire these ancient kings.
At least they were kings who sacrificed themselves to save the world.
At this moment, a question suddenly popped into Lin Yun’s mind.
"If one day I had to sacrifice myself to save the world, would I do it?"
