The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 399 - 389: Calamity in the Palace

Lin Yun considered himself to be friends with Zhao Lingyu, at least that’s what he thought.

He also immediately realized that Consort Shu was neither Zhao Lingyu’s mother nor her sister; any person with common sense would dismiss the option of her being a sister, unless the Emperor was really that reckless in his pursuits.

As the mother of a friend, Lin Yun certainly couldn’t disrespect Consort Shu.

So, he adhered to the principle of "look but don’t touch."

But it was just Da Bai, nothing extraordinary.

Just a shoulder squeeze, and her skin was a bit smooth, no big deal!

Lin Yun closed his eyes, unbothered by distractions.

It’s not that he lacked self-control, he was simply a well-mannered young man.

Seeing Lin Yun tightly shutting his eyes, Consort Shu found it even more amusing and pulled his hand down a little further, saying, "Don’t just massage one spot, rub here too."

Lin Yun: "..."

Lady, I’m about to call the police if you keep this up.

Lin Yun’s massage skills were excellent, not just because of his cultivation practice, but also because he had a good understanding of the human body. Consort Shu felt her blood and qi circulate better after his massaging, her face turning a bit rosy.

"Little Lin, do you find me beautiful?"

"Beautiful."

Lin Yun silently endured the test.

What’s this about the word "lust" bringing about a knife to one’s head!

He really was a prophet; he knew that his trip to the Imperial Palace wouldn’t be simple. Sure enough, here it comes!

This was the first time Lin Yun was tempted by a woman of Consort Shu’s caliber. At this moment, Lin Yun could understand Cao Cao’s heart.

But Lin Yun didn’t follow Cao Cao’s path. With things being so risky now and his own means of protection being scarce, if he were to be caught and snipped, he’d actually have to enter the palace as a eunuch.

Although he hadn’t done anything, he understood that SPs, or special persons, attract each other, and they could understand each other too.

After hearing Lin Yun’s compliments, Consort Shu sighed and said, "What’s the use of beauty? I’m still left alone in my room, night after lonely night."

It seems that the Emperor didn’t favor Consort Shu too much anymore. Well, with so many people in the Emperor’s harem, he was spoiled for choice and naturally became fickle.

Lin Yun silently made a decision in his heart, he would definitely spread his affection evenly in the future, not letting his wives feel lonely.

That’s right, he should visit Great Snow Mountain when he’s free to absorb some Divine Power and replenish his kidney water.

Lin Yun’s mind drifted far away, but Consort Shu suddenly said, "You too are a pitiful soul, at such a young age, you haven’t tasted the flavor of a woman before being purified upon entering the palace."

Lin Yun honestly didn’t know how to respond to that, but he sensed trouble brewing.

"Would you like to taste what this consort is like?"

Consort Shu’s tongue flicked across her lips, seductively alluring, while Lin Yun’s scalp went numb.

Ah, so you’re after my body!

"This servant dares not."

Lin Yun quickly refused, yet the more he resisted, the more excited Consort Shu became.

"Don’t be afraid, you’re just a little eunuch. Even if the Emperor finds out, he won’t say anything."

Lin Yun: "???"

What the hell, this place is so chaotic!

Even the Emperor seems to have infinite tolerance. Maybe it’s his challenge to himself, his training that has allowed him to maintain such restraint until now.

It was at that moment that Lin Yun had a flash of insight.

He figured out why the woman he encountered earlier in the garden, the one part of the clandestine lovers, seemed so familiar.

She resembled Zhao Guang.

Ah, so Zhao Guang is a Prince, that woman must also be a consort then.

Consort Shu is only looking for a small eunuch, but that consort, she was going for the real deal!

Truly, the Emperor is under an open sky.

As Lin Yun’s thoughts wandered, he kept dodging Consort Shu’s advances, which only made her more aroused.

Just then, an eunuch outside sang out, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Consort Shu halted her actions and quickly composed herself, coldly ordering, "Change clothes."

The watching palace maids immediately stepped forward to dress her, their speed reminding Lin Yun of the pit crews he saw in car races changing tires.

It was virtually identical!

Consort Shu cast a beguiling glance at Lin Yun, seemingly signaling, my darling, after I’ve dealt with my husband, I’ll come and find you for some fun.

Lin Yun felt his hair stand on end and silently communicated with Xiao Qing in his mind.

"How much longer until I can use the spell again?"

"Another hour."

"Why another hour?"

Lin Yun was shocked on the spot. Xiao Qing responded with a hint of grievance, "Because, master, you’ve been staying with an undressed woman this whole time!"

Lin Yun: "..."

Wow, what the heck is this Divine Skill, its cooldown time can be refreshed?

To maintain chastity, seems like this spell really isn’t suitable for me.

Just as he was grumbling, Lin Yun suddenly felt that the object he had been sensing was now very close.

"Hey, wait, did they just say the Emperor has arrived?"

Was that thing on the Emperor’s person?

Lin Yun was suddenly invigorated. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The sensation had always been vague, preventing Lin Yun from pinpointing its exact location and forcing him to search aimlessly. But now, with the object so close and clearly moving towards him, it could only mean that it was on the Emperor.

However...

Could a Dragon Vein grow on a human body?

Or could it be that what was calling out to him was not the Dragon Vein?

Lin Yun realized he might have misunderstood something. When he arrived in Capital City, he had felt that sense of closeness—as if some force field enveloped the entire city, and Lin Yun was not repelled by this force.

Under this influence, Lin Yun naturally thought of the Dragon Vein. Isn’t it said that Dragon Veins suppress cultivators? So this force field must be produced by the Dragon Vein!

Thus, Lin Yun also believed he was searching for the Dragon Vein, but now he discovered that the thing calling out to him might be on a person.

Previously, Hu Yuling had mentioned that Dragon Veins were of Utmost Yang and Utmost Rigidity, difficult to approach. Even if an Emperor could meld with a Dragon Vein, it wouldn’t make sense for him to carry it around with him.

So what could it be?

Lin Yun suddenly found that he was quite lucky. Wasn’t this fate? He had stumbled upon an affair and broken a spell, Consort Shu had encountered him, and the Emperor had come.

After this series of events, wasn’t it all to present him with a treasure?

Nice!

Since the Emperor had come, should he consider an assassination attempt?

Lin Yun merely entertained the thought momentarily before quickly dismissing it.

If he wanted to assassinate, Lin Yun was confident he could do it. His burst of speed and powerful spells, combined with his Divine Artifact, could shatter the Emperor into pieces in an instant—a situation not even immortals could salvage.

But after such a move, Lin Yun would surely be caught.

Trading his boundless future for an inferior Emperor was a definite loss. There was no need for such a trade—one-for-one was out of the question.

"Just steal, don’t kill, and come back tomorrow to murder."

Lin Yun made his little plan and retreated behind the palace maids, quietly kneeling and bowing his head low, drawing no attention to himself.

The people of the Imperial Palace were extravagant and cared about appearances. Wherever the Emperor went, people knelt, which also made it easy for Lin Yun to hide.

Among a group of eunuchs, Lin Yun was inconspicuous. And as for kneeling, Lin Yun wasn’t too proud to bow to a dead man—what was the big deal?

"Your Majesty, what brings you to your concubine’s side today?"

Upon seeing the Emperor, Consort Shu began her performance.

This single sentence displayed her melancholy and dissatisfaction. However, upon closer analysis, one could perceive the affection in her grievance. She was petulant because she thought of the Emperor, and when he did not come, it tormented her.

This was much more subtle than directly expressing her longing for the Emperor.

In truth, Consort Shu was genuinely annoyed by the Emperor’s visit that evening. He could have come any time, but he had to show up when she was toying with a young eunuch—how vexing!

Yet she had no choice but to respond appropriately. In the Imperial Palace, the Emperor was the true Overlord. If she truly upset the Emperor, even her children would be affected.

The Emperor was named Zhao Hao, a dignified middle-aged man. Upon hearing Consort Shu’s complaint, he showed no irritation but only smiled and said, "My love, don’t be upset. In these past years, I have been cultivating a technique, and that’s why I have neglected you all. Now that my efforts have come to fruition and there are no more taboos, the first person I thought of was you, my love."

Hidden in the crowd, Lin Yun overheard all this and immediately realized why. No wonder there were affairs in the harem, the Emperor had been practicing a technique, not laying with women for years, leaving the women of the harem unable to withstand the loneliness.

This was indeed important information, yet Lin Yun had no idea what technique the Emperor was cultivating.

Consort Shu instantly understood the implication of Zhao Hao’s words. But after having seen such a handsome young eunuch, she found the middle-aged Zhao Hao somewhat lacking in comparison.

However lovely the little Lin might appear, he was useless!

Consort Shu suddenly got a brilliant idea. When favored later, she would have little Lin serve at the bedside. By watching him, she could pretend she was enjoying her time with him.

Brilliant!

To be honest, Lin Yun had never even considered such a devilish scheme. Meanwhile, Consort Shu had already started introducing Lin Yun to Zhao Hao.

"Your Majesty, your concubine found a little eunuch today. He’s very handy and good at serving others. You work so hard every day; why not have him attend to you?" she suggested.

"Oh? Call him over, let me have a look," replied the Emperor.

When the Consort suggested a eunuch, the Emperor was certain to grant this face. Zhao Hao took it that Consort Shu wanted to install her own person near him, a small tactic common among the Palace women.

Clear streams have no fish, and the Emperor understood well. To appoint those recommended to less critical positions was to indulge the women.

The women also knew the Emperor was aware. By installing that person, their goal was merely to keep abreast of the Emperor’s movements. If the Emperor was unaware, it would seem they had ulterior motives.

Everyone was privy to this mutual understanding, so they all played their parts with a tacit agreement.

Zhao Hao had no idea of Consort Shu’s audacious move, her recommendation of Lin Yun was nothing more than to facilitate her own daydreams later on...

Was this even something a person of the human realm was capable of?

Lin Yun was quickly called out from the lineup. Upon seeing him, Zhao Hao’s eyes lit up.

What a charming young lad, not bad at all.

Lin Yun: "..."

The people of the Imperial Palace are surely all a bit odd. Consort Shu lusted after him, and Lin Yun could play along—after all, Consort Shu wasn’t too bad.

But now Zhao Hao too...

Your Majesty, you’re really pushing me towards murderous thoughts!
