The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 388 - 378: The Top of the Dantian Food Chain
There is a saying that if you hunt geese all day long, eventually the geese will peck back at you, and that is the cycle of karma.
Lin Yun has become like a cannonball in this ordeal, being launched away.
Fortunately, the protective effect of the bubble was strong enough. In the moment of its shattering, Lin Yun reinforced himself with several layers of shield.
This steady man, faced with the situation, quickly added shields to both himself and Jiang Chenyu, as one would don thermal underwear before the weather had even cooled.
He and Jiang Chenyu were launched out like cannonballs, whooshing past the sea trench and continuing on.
By now, their course had deviated so far it was anyone’s guess where they were headed. In fact, when Lin Yun and Jiang Chenyu dove into the ocean, their path had not been a straight descent but a winding one.
When Lin Yun and Jiang Chenyu were being blasted through the water, the surface was anything but calm.
The earthquake from the seabed brought with it massive tsunamis.
On Pearl Island, representatives from various factions conducting field investigations were terrified by the towering waves. The sheer power of nature was horrifying.
However, Hu Yuling, who was waiting on the island, suddenly felt Lin Yun’s presence.
"Hold on, such a commotion couldn’t possibly be the master’s doing, could it?"
Thinking this, Hu Yuling’s reverence for Lin Yun grew even more.
Ignoring the tsunami, she flew towards the location she sensed, having agreed to meet in an hour but arriving several days late. Although it wasn’t her fault, Lin Yun would surely punish her severely.
Behind Hu Yuling, the merciless waves engulfed the entire Pearl Island. Not only that, but the towering waves also surged toward Haizhou and other coastal areas.
Cultivators from Lower Three Realms would dread the sight of hundred-meter-high waves, which could spell death without protective items. Even those from Three Middle Realm could be in mortal peril if mishandled.
Haizhou, considered one of the most prosperous cities in the Central Plains, with an enormous population, would witness countless deaths in this tsunami.
The ordinary people frantically tried to run for higher ground, but Haizhou was situated on a plain with no mountains, and even if there were, the waves moved faster than humans could.
And at the moment of this doomsday, just as the waters covered the skies like dark clouds, a woman in red appeared.
She held in her hand a glowing pearl, and in an instant, the raging waves came to a halt mid-air, then slowly retreated back to the ocean. The entire frenzied sea calmed suddenly.
Tens of thousands of civilians and cultivators in Haizhou stared in awe at the sight.
Was this a descent of the Immortals?
This was what the ignorant populace wondered. Having survived the disaster, the frightened people began to kneel and bow their heads in thanks to the Immortals for their salvation.
Some cultivators from the Righteous Path were speechless, however.
Why does the Demon Lord always seem to be saving the world?
No one but Dongfang Hongyue, who possessed the Calming Sea Pearl, could calm the raging sea instantly. As a Divine Artifact, the Calming Sea Pearl had no other abilities, but its power to calm the sea was without reason.
Dongfang Hongyue didn’t just happen to be in Haizhou; she had come after learning that the Flower Fairy had raided Pearl Island and committed numerous killings.
Unable to contact Lin Yun herself, she had no choice but to investigate on her own.
Unexpectedly, she ended up saving tens of thousands in Haizhou.
She didn’t stop the civilians’ kneeling, simply taking flight to leave.
She planned to visit Pearl Island.
By the time Dongfang Hongyue reached Pearl Island, the island was gone.
All that remained was an expanse of water. As the earthquake began, Pearl Island had already sunk.
Dongfang Hongyue felt a wave of disappointment. The disappearance of Pearl Island was one thing, but it meant the leads had vanished as well.
Ever since the news of the Flower Fairy’s massacre on Pearl Island spread, both the Flower Fairy and Lin Yun had disappeared.
Not knowing where they had gone, Dongfang Hongyue, feeling helpless, returned to Haizhou.
Her rebellious disciple was lucky and robust; she hoped he wouldn’t have encountered any mishaps.
This tsunami had also caught the attention of the Flower Fairy and the Snow Maiden. Seeing Dongfang Hongyue effortlessly calm the tsunami, the Flower Fairy had a momentary urge to seek Dongfang Hongyue’s help in finding Lin Yun.
But recalling Lin Yun’s last words, the Flower Fairy finally made a decision.
She didn’t plan to wait at sea anymore.
Lin Yun would return, just as he had said.
She needed to pull herself together and do what Lin Yun had asked of her, to unify the Southern Continent and conquer the Demon Tribe.
"I am prepared to leave," the Flower Fairy said to the Snow Maiden.
Although Lin Yun had put himself in danger to save the Snow Maiden, the Flower Fairy vaguely sensed that the vortex might be connected to Lin Yun, perhaps his own chance at destiny.
This was the conclusion she reached after worrying for so long and finally adjusting her mood.
Perhaps the Snow Maiden hadn’t fully grasped it yet.
Maybe she was still feeling guilty that Lin Yun had rescued her and then faced danger himself.
With no more to say, the Flower Fairy simply remarked, "You don’t need to worry too much; he will return."
"Really?"
A flicker of hope appeared in the Snow Maiden’s eyes. She too harbored such expectations, and another person’s affirmation brought some comfort to her heart.
"Of course it’s true; I believe in him."
"I believe in him," these words came with a heavy weight. Before Lin Yun’s confession, the Snow Maiden could have easily said "I trust him", for indeed, she had profound trust in Lin Yun.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun was an undercover agent, deceiving her from the start.
But...
Had Lin Yun truly betrayed her trust?
Images of Lin Yun caressing her hair tenderly and rescuing her without a second thought when she was in danger came flooding back to the Snow Maiden’s mind. Up until now, Lin Yun had never harmed her...
Seeing the Snow Maiden lost in thought, the Flower Fairy said nothing and soared toward land.
The ocean was not her domain and remained too dangerous.
The Snow Maiden remained silent for a long time, her heart full of self-reproach for Lin Yun.
"Xiao Man, let’s go!"
The Snow Maiden also decided to return.
She had been out for a long time, and she needed to take up her responsibilities.
As for Lin Yun, he would definitely come back.
But when he did, how should she face him?
At this moment, Lin Yun, the boy the girls were worried about, didn’t even know where he was himself.
The sea, oh, it is all water.
Not only that, the sky was also filled with dark clouds, making it impossible for Lin Yun to discern any direction.
Fortunately, he managed to hold Jiang Chenyu very close in the sea, without losing her.
As for the statue he picked up from the seabed, it had already found its way into his Dantian.
Apart from Xiao Qing, who could still swim curiously around the statue, the other things in the Dantian consciously huddled together.
The Chaos Pearl, claimed to accommodate everything, was trembling in a corner; the Moon Water Spirit Pearl was also shaking, determined to squeeze into the Chaos Pearl as it had before, but the Chaos Pearl firmly refused to let it in, insisting it stay in front.
Little Gold lay down quietly, without a sound.
I am just a bolt of lightning, I don’t know anything.
Even the Golden Fire Lotus, which had grown to the twelfth rank without realizing it, had now shifted from the center closer to where Little Gold was.
Little Gold was inwardly annoyed, not having known before that fire could be sentient.
Don’t mess with me.
The food chain was clear at a glance.
The Moon Water Spirit Pearl was at the bottom of the Dantian food chain.
The Chaos Pearl was slightly above it, Little Gold was a bit higher, and the Fire Seed sent by Dongfang Hongyue but now mutated was even higher than Little Gold. It usually sat on equal footing with Xiao Qing, but this time, the appearance of the statue had brought some changes.
Only Xiao Qing was not afraid of this wooden statue.
Little Gold was considered the Primordial Thunder, a thunderbolt from the dawn of the heavens and earth, and by rights, there shouldn’t be anything that could scare him, but its fright was very real.
Thinking of the palace at the bottom of the sea, Lin Yun suddenly had a huge epiphany.
Could it be that beneath the sea lay a prehistoric civilization?
And this statue was probably that of Qing Nu herself.
"Qing Nu is so beautiful, even the figurine is so appealing, I wonder how gorgeous the real person must be."
Lin Yun imagined in his mind, absentmindedly examining Qing Nu’s figure.
She had a human head and a snake body, a very slender waist, and a curvaceous backside. Another area he dared not describe wasn’t as exaggeratedly large as Hu Yuling and Fang Yu’s, but just the right size, tempting one to play with the figurine...
"Boom!"
A clap of Shocking Thunder exploded, and the storm came again.
Lin Yun’s daydream was interrupted as he picked up Jiang Chenyu and let the storm rage on.
The storm lasted an hour, and Lin Yun and Jiang Chenyu drifted with the waves, not knowing where they had floated to. When he saw a huge shark, Lin Yun easily caught it and used it as a temporary mount.
After the storm, the sun appeared, and Lin Yun finally had a sense of direction.
This journey, just heading west was fine.
"Can you help dry my clothes?"
Once the sun came out, Jiang Chenyu cautiously made a request to Lin Yun.
She was dressed in white, which, after the turmoil in the sea and being lashed by wind and rain, was clinging to her body, revealing her great figure and the faintly visible fair skin, which was quite enticing.
She would have been better off not mentioning it, because as soon as she did, Lin Yun began to look at Jiang Chenyu carefully. This scrutiny also made Jiang Chenyu blush with shame.
"You’re just a little captive, and quite demanding at that!"
Lin Yun held Jiang Chenyu a bit tighter, and she, unable to resist, just blushed, bracing herself with one hand on Lin Yun’s chest.
"Wearing wet clothes indeed isn’t good for your health, I’ll help you!"
Lin Yun moved his hands, and Jiang Chenyu could only plead, "Someone will see."
"Do you see anyone else on this vast sea?"
Though he said so, Lin Yun didn’t fully undress Jiang Chenyu, but this seemed to make it even more thrilling.
Indeed, clothes look more provocative when worn.
Moreover, the wide skirt didn’t greatly hinder Lin Yun’s movements.
He had Jiang Chenyu sit on him, brushing aside her hair, and then he saw her shy eyes.
"Since we’re bored right now, why don’t we play something to pass the time?"
Jiang Chenyu’s complexion was flushed; she bit her lip, too flustered to speak, while Lin Yun was completely at ease.
This bad man, truly going too far.
Taking advantage of his cultivator’s physique, he bullied her, a mortal!
Although her physique was much better than that of mortals, even stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, how could she contend with someone like Lin Yun who was so unreasonably troublesome?
"If you don’t object, that means you consent!"
"Mmm..."
Just as Jiang Chenyu was about to speak, Lin Yun sealed her lips again.
A moment later, Lin Yun said, "Let’s play a couplet game. I already have the upper couplet, listen carefully."
"Ride the fish, touch the fish, kiss the fish’s lips; enjoy the pleasure of fish and water."
Jiang Chenyu: "..."
I am not a fish!
