The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 386 - 376 The Root of Danger

Lin Yun had accounted for every possibility, but he never anticipated that everything would indeed be such a coincidence.

After giving Flower Fairy a heads up, Lin Yun felt that he hadn’t left anything out.

Snow Maiden was clearly arranged for, Lin Yun prepared to stealthily remain by her side after sending her ashore, guarding against the Grand Shaman just in case. If discovered, Snow Maiden would just be secretly touched.

Alas, it’s not that I fancy playing tricks, but it’s a necessary choice for an undercover agent with no other options.

I, Lin Yun, am not a scumbag, I just want to provide a home for the girl I love.

The only flaw is that I, Lin someone, am too handsome, and there are a bit too many girls who like me.

But let’s not dwell on these details, shall we?

Leaning against the window, Lin Yun suddenly felt sleepy too.

The ship swaying in the sea was quite hypnotic.

"No, I can’t sleep..."

Lin Yun, thinking of how every time he fell asleep, he dreamt of being submerged by water, was also very resistant to sleep.

Although he wouldn’t die from drowning in the dreams, the painful sensation was something Lin Yun really didn’t want to experience again after several times.

But this time, he fell asleep suddenly, and the moment he closed his eyes, he found himself on a ship at sea, where it was calm, and the large ship sailed smoothly. They were to head east first, then south, looking for a place to anchor.

A large area around Pearl Island was safe, without powerful Sea Beasts approaching, only some large fish and shrimp with little lethality, all mere delicacies for the sailors.

Lin Yun stepped out of his room, feeling a breeze, and suddenly noticed that the ship seemed to be moving a lot faster.

Long Xiaoman was cheerfully looking out at the ocean from the deck, a freshwater fish on her first trip to such distant seas. Lin Yun approached to greet her, saying, "Do you want to go down and play?"

"No, no, no, the water here is too salty, if I stay too long, I’d turn into a salted fish too."

"Pfft, you looked just like a salted fish when you were strung up last time."

Lin Yun remembered the sight of her and Jiang Chenyu hanging together, both very much like salted fish, except she was just a bit cuter than real salted fish.

"Hmph, you’d look the same if you were hung up."

Long Xiaoman gave Lin Yun an arrogant glance and looked back out to the ocean.

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "What is that?"

Lin Yun, somewhat curious, followed her pointing finger, and saw an area on the sea surface that was exceptionally deep in color.

"****, ****. ****, ****."

There it was, that woman’s whisper, and Lin Yun still couldn’t make out what she was saying. But this time, Lin Yun found his perspective switching; he was in a completely dark environment.

Without any other senses, Lin Yun inexplicably knew this was underwater.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared before his eyes, and the source of the light, astonishingly, was a small statue, about twenty centimeters tall, with every detail vivid and clear.

It was a woman with the head of a person and the body of a snake. Her face was blurred as if covered with a mosaic. This image flashed by, and soon, Lin Yun’s perspective switched again, this time to an aerial view looking down at Pearl Island.

Was this mysterious being hinting at her divine statue at the seabed near Pearl Island?

Thinking of this, Lin Yun’s perspective quickly changed back to the ship, and he saw a huge whirlpool appearing ahead.

"Wow, that’s magnificent!"

Long Xiaoman cried out excitedly, but Lin Yun’s scalp tingled.

Indeed, how could it not be magnificent?

If the hole above that whirlpool was the size of a basin, then their ship was only the size of a ping-pong ball.

This one look triggered Lin Yun’s fear of the deep sea.

"Run!"

By this time, Flower Fairy and Snow Maiden had also realized something; the ship was moving too fast. They made it to the deck and used their powers together, but they could only delay the speed at which the ship fell into the abyss.

"The ship’s unsalvageable."

Lin Yun made a decisive call, the cargo on the ship was to be forsaken. At this point, it was a matter of saving lives.

Although he had agreed to part ways with Snow Maiden after getting her ashore, she still heeded Lin Yun’s words.

Flower Fairy hugged Long Xiaoman, Lin Yun hugged Jiang Chenyu, no longer trying to control the ship’s speed.

The ship was quickly sucked away by the whirlpool, but Lin Yun’s Sword Flight only lasted a second before they plummeted down, and Snow Maiden and Flower Fairy both fell into the water too.

At the Celestial Knowing Realm, hovering in mid-air was the most basic of abilities. It might be that Lin Yun’s Sword Flight was lacking, but Snow Maiden and Flower Fairy shouldn’t have failed to hold on.

There was something wrong with this part of the sea.

Once in the water, Flower Fairy could still swim, she paddled a few times and managed to grab Long Xiaoman. Long Xiaoman turned into a fish, pulling Flower Fairy swiftly through the water, but Snow Maiden was in trouble; she couldn’t swim, so Lin Yun had to toss Jiang Chenyu out, which Flower Fairy caught. Lin Yun then followed the current and grabbed Snow Maiden.

In that short span of time, the two were sucked into the vortex.

Overwhelmed by the water, they were out of their depth.

Lin Yun jolted up in his seat, thumping his head on the ceiling.

"Phew, it was just a dream, but it felt so real."

Lin Yun shook his head, trying to clear it.

He walked out onto the deck and saw Long Xiaoman standing at the bow.

Sss...

This scene seemed all too familiar.

"Hey, what’s that?"

Long Xiaoman suddenly uttered in a low voice. Lin Yun, upon hearing this, hastened over and saw a huge whirlpool...

Good grief, wasn’t this just like the dream? Hadn’t I just died once?

Lin Yun had some strange thoughts in his mind, and at the same time, he shouted loudly, "Flower Fairy, Sister, come out quick!"

Snow Maiden was inwardly troubled when suddenly, she heard Lin Yun call her ’Big Sis’ again. Delighted beyond measure, she rushed to the deck, only to see Lin Yun with a serious expression saying, "Try if you can fly now!"

Flower Fairy immediately attempted to jump into the air but then landed back on the deck, shaking her head at Lin Yun.

"This is bad!"

Without the Calming Sea Pearl, Lin Yun had only the Classic of Mountains and Seas with him now.

Impulsive actions had led to regret. Had he known this would happen, would he have acted as he had?

However, they were not as close to the vortex as in his dream, so there was still a chance for rescue. Snow Maiden and Flower Fairy joined forces to cast spells, and with the help of the Vermilion Bird Feather Fan blowing in the opposite direction, they managed to keep the ship in a stalemate, neither advancing nor retreating.

But this was not a long-term solution.

Lin Yun pondered in his heart when suddenly, an inspiration struck him.

Hadn’t Qing Nu given him the answer already?

Perhaps, the key to breaking the deadlock lay beneath the sea. Otherwise, if they kept up this resistance, Snow Maiden and Flower Fairy would exhaust their spiritual power, and they would be sucked into the vortex.

Of course, he could replenish magic power, so there was no need to panic, but merely holding out held little meaning.

"But, don’t I have Xiao Qing? Long Xiaoman can also help."

Lin Yun jumped into the sea, summoned Xiao Qing, and turned Qiaobian into a rope to tie to the ship.

In the sea, Xiao Qing felt like she was at home. The previously unmovable situation, with Xiao Qing’s help, allowed the big ship to gradually move away from the vortex.

Forget going under the sea—that seemed like a bad idea!

Lin Yun always felt that the statue seemed to spell big trouble.

However, before Lin Yun could rejoice, an absurd scene unfolded—the vortex began to follow Lin Yun’s ship, closing in.

This scene felt eerily familiar.

Lin Yun thought of Su’e, whom he had encountered in Yellow Wind Valley before.

What is it with you gods and your temperament, all the same? If we don’t comply, will you force our hand?

The vortex approached too swiftly, and the ship, bolstered by Snow Maiden and Flower Fairy’s magic, finally couldn’t withstand the conflicting forces. With a loud ’bang’, the ship shattered into pieces, and all its treasures fell into the sea.

This turn of events was a repeat of the dream.

Flower Fairy grabbed onto Long Xiaoman, who transformed into a colossal carp, carrying Flower Fairy away from the vortex, while Snow Maiden floundered in the water. Lin Yun quickly swam over and picked her up.

The vortex seemed to be targeting him.

"You guys go first!"

Having said that, Lin Yun threw Snow Maiden towards Flower Fairy, who caught Snow Maiden’s hand. Seeing Lin Yun riding a dragon, Flower Fairy finally felt some reassurance.

With a burst of speed, Long Xiaoman was as fast as lightning.

But Lin Yun heard a panic-stricken cry for help.

"Lin Yun, save me!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Jiang Chenyu sitting on a plank, being sucked towards the vortex at alarming speed.

Such misfortune!

"Xiao Qing!"

With just one call from Lin Yun, Xiao Qing swiftly swam in the direction of Jiang Chenyu, and Lin Yun scooped her up. Jiang Chenyu immediately clung tightly to Lin Yun.

Being in Lin Yun’s arms felt safe; the world was just too dangerous.

She didn’t know that the source of the danger was Lin Yun himself.

Wherever Lin Yun went, trouble followed; he never had a moment’s peace.

"It looks like we have no choice but to head to the seabed."

Lin Yun realized it was a blessing in disguise. Seeing Xiao Qing struggling against the force of the vortex, he handed Jiang Chenyu over to her.

"I will be back."

With that, Lin Yun let go of his resistance and plunged headfirst into the vortex.

Xiao Qing, however, let out a loud cry and chased after Lin Yun, pulling Jiang Chenyu into the vortex with her.

Lin Yun: "..."

Was Xiao Qing always this clingy? I really will come back!

Underwater, Lin Yun was not worried about drowning. The water here was different from that in his dream; Lin Yun could use a breath-holding technique.

But Xiao Qing was too anxious about him, and that was why she didn’t listen.

Lin Yun patted her head to comfort her; at this moment, the only one suffering was Jiang Chenyu.

She knew how to hold her breath as well, but her spiritual power wasn’t sufficient...

Just when Jiang Chenyu thought she was about to drown, Lin Yun kissed her.

When it came to replenishing magic, Lin Yun was a professional.

Moreover, his technique was quite good. Jiang Chenyu, previously in torment, found the sensation surprisingly pleasant after receiving some spiritual liquid from Lin Yun.

After Lin Yun plunged into the sea, the vortex quickly shrunk and gradually disappeared, as if its sole purpose was to create a passage for Lin Yun to the seabed.

But for Flower Fairy and Snow Maiden, who had watched Lin Yun be engulfed by the vortex, it was a different story.

Unspokenly, they both grabbed Long Xiaoman’s tail, forcing the fish to turn around, only to see that the vortex had vanished and the force preventing them from flying had dissipated as well.

But Lin Yun had also vanished.

Flower Fairy stared at the now-calm sea, falling silent. All of a sudden, she pondered a question.

If something happened to Lin Yun, what action of hers would have meaning now?
