The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 449 - 439: Actually, Being Bullied Isn’t Bad
"...So I just wanted to help you pick up the maple leaf, everything that happened after was an accident."
Lin Yun pinned Zhen Li to the ground and said seriously.
But Zhen Li’s face turned beet red, unable to utter a word.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Yun reaching for her collar. At that moment, she didn’t have time to think and instinctively tried to shrink back.
Since she was already lying down, moving back naturally involved using her hands and feet. And just so happened, as she kicked back, one foot struck Lin Yun’s sensitive spot.
Even though Lin Yun’s physical body was very strong, a kick to that vulnerable area still made him instinctively flinch, and he lost his footing, falling forward, instinctively reaching out to brace himself.
His hand, which had just been at her neckline, now precisely grabbed the soft and bouncy part.
Lin Yun hadn’t expected that beneath the Daoist robe, Zhen Li actually had quite some assets; while not particularly large, they were just the right fit.
That was the impression from that hasty grab, which left Zhen Li dumbfounded, struggling even more fiercely.
Although she had a good impression of Lin Yun, this did not mean she was willing to be molested by him in such an unclear situation.
Tears streamed down her face. Overcome with embarrassment and anger, she directly used a spell from the Taiqing Daoist Temple; knowing she was no match for Lin Yun, she aimed it at herself.
Even in death, she refused to be dishonored.
Lin Yun had not expected her to be so resolute; she seemed fragile but also had this impulsive side.
Lin Yun quickly grabbed her hand, interrupting her spellcasting, and began to explain.
After learning that Lin Yun was just trying to get a fallen leaf, Zhen Li’s face turned even redder.
Lin Yun had saved her, yet she misunderstood him as if he had intended to harm her, which made her feel extremely ashamed.
But in fact, with Lin Yun grabbing her there, the two had engaged in an intimate contact.
Not only that, but to stop her, Lin Yun had pinned her down, and during the struggle, their bodies rubbed together intensively. Zhen Li could still smell Lin Yun’s scent, a pleasant fragrance, and she was a bit intoxicated, even starting to relish the sensation.
So to say, if Lin Yun wasn’t forcing her, she probably would’ve been quite willing...
"I’m sorry, I misunderstood you."
After understanding the situation, Zhen Li naturally softened her demeanor. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Lin Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t blame Zhen Li; it was good that the misunderstanding was resolved.
"It’s okay, you don’t need to worry about it."
"Then... can you let go of me now?"
Being pinned down by Lin Yun the whole time made Zhen Li feel incredibly shy.
Seeing Zhen Li’s blushing face, Lin Yun hastily let her go.
She was a disciple of Yuxuan; he couldn’t afford to bully her like this, not to mention the trouble if Daoist Yuxuan came looking for him.
"Sorry, I was rude."
"It’s okay."
As Zhen Li and Lin Yun separated, she also subconsciously brought her hands back to her chest.
While Lin Yun was pinning her down, she felt shy and scared, but now that Lin Yun had let her go, she was left with a sense of loss.
"If only he could hold me like this forever."
This thought suddenly popped into her mind, scaring Zhen Li. She felt her thoughts were too dangerous.
Lin Yun already had a lover, and she shouldn’t meddle in their relationship.
She couldn’t think like that anymore!
But in this cave, the atmosphere grew increasingly romantic, and she needed to find some topic to talk about.
"Right, you mentioned I was kidnapped by the Demon Race; what’s that about?"
Zhen Li was unconscious the whole time and had no idea what had happened.
Lin Yun replied, "Yuzhu, one of the four elders of Mountain and Sea Pass, is a spy for the Demon Race hiding in the Taiqing Daoist Temple. The Demon Clan Leader wants to seize a certain treasure, but she’s no match for Daoist Yuxuan, so she intended to capture you to force Daoist Master Yuxuan to submit."
Zhen Li had also seen the Demon Clan Leader and witnessed her defection. She hadn’t expected the leader to make a comeback and target her this time.
"The Demon Race really underestimates me too much!"
Clenching her little fists, Zhen Li said, "For the greater good, Master would surely make the right choice. I am not afraid of sacrifice. Her scheme was never going to succeed from the start."
"Indeed, I didn’t expect that you, seeming so gentle and weak, would actually be such a chaste and resolute woman."
Lin Yun, with high emotional intelligence, simply echoed Zhen Li’s words. However, Zhen Li thought back to how she had mistaken Lin Yun for trying to dishonor her, planning to take her own life, but then he pinned her down...
Her face started to heat up again, her heartbeat gradually becoming uncontrollable.
"Lin Yun, stop teasing me. Where are we now?"
Zhen Li, already nervous, quickly changed the subject. Before she could finish one topic, she immediately shifted to another.
Because she was anxious.
Lin Yun didn’t mind and patiently answered, "We’re on Taiqing Mountain."
Yuxuan had warned him not to attend the competition, so...
Instead of going to Yuqing Mountain, he thought it should be okay to watch from a distance on Taiqing Mountain!
This cave was the place where he had spent a night of pleasure with the Snow Maiden previously. Today, Lin Yun had come again with another girl.
It couldn’t be helped; who would have thought this place was so secluded?
Lin Yun had also set up the Great Mist around, ensuring no one could spy on this place.
The competition was about to start, and the Demon Clan Leader was likely lurking nearby. If she discovered Zhen Li, his entire plan would go awry.
But if he kept too distant and couldn’t bring Zhen Li forward in time to turn the tide, it would be no different from having failed to rescue her at all.
Therefore, Taiqing Mountain, which is very close to the Yuqing Platform, is the most suitable location.
After waking up, Hu Yuling went to report back to the Leader, she didn’t even need to find someone to impersonate Zhen Li. She only needed to tell the Leader that she had accomplished her mission with honor. Zhen Li was arranged in a very safe place, out of reach of anyone else.
That was enough to say.
Besides, it wasn’t a lie.
Zhen Li was certainly very safe now.
"Damn it, the Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin, and I still haven’t delivered the letter to the Snow Maiden."
Zhen Li suddenly remembered her task, she had already forgotten how she had fainted, nor did she remember taking out the pouch, she just remembered that she needed to deliver a message.
"What message?"
"I don’t know."
Zhen Li searched her person and only found an empty pouch, everything else was gone.
"It’s over, could the Demon Race have stealthily taken my message?"
"They shouldn’t have."
"How do you know?"
Zhen Li looked at Lin Yun with some doubt, as he seemed so certain.
"I’m guessing. A letter that your master asked you to deliver shouldn’t be too important. Even if it was taken, it wouldn’t cause too much trouble. Don’t worry!"
Zhen Li: "..."
Although it made sense, she didn’t feel comforted at all.
"So... What do we do now?"
It was the first time Zhen Li had encountered such a significant incident, her heart was a bit panicky, not knowing what to do, but she subconsciously relied on Lin Yun.
"The best we can do is wait patiently. Your master doesn’t know you’ve been rescued, and the Demon Race doesn’t know you’ve been saved by me. My plan is to take this opportunity to lure the Demon Race out and eliminate them in one fell swoop. When the right moment comes, we’ll go out and turn the situation around. If you’re bored, I can keep you company by playing chess."
After hearing Lin Yun’s plan, Zhen Li thought briefly and then readily agreed.
She actually hadn’t thought of anything, but seeing Lin Yun so confident and reliable, she decided to follow his lead.
And...
Playing chess with Lin Yun seemed like a nice idea too.
"I’ll teach you how to play Gomoku..."
Lin Yun took out Qiaobian, drew a few grids on the ground, and the two of them huddled together and started playing the game of five in a row.
In the entire mountain range, only this cave on Taiqing Mountain was out of the ordinary.
At this moment, killing intent was hidden in all directions.
The Demon Race was lurking in the shadows, and the Martial Arts Tournament had also convened on time.
At the Yuqing Platform, Daoist Master Yuxuan looked at the only two remaining Enlightened Realm Cultivators of the Taiqing Daoist Temple, with Yuxiu having been severely injured. His mood was also very somber.
Everything in its prime will decline, and what is full will be depleted. That is the principle of heaven and earth, and it seems inevitable.
Yuquan blamed himself for not being able to foresee all this. Little did he know, his divinations could no longer predict such events.
He truly hadn’t seen any of this coming, but perhaps this was also the will of heaven.
If he had died, and these pillars of the sect were still standing, the Taiqing Daoist Temple would still be powerful.
But now, the only ones left to hold the fort were Yuquan and Yuxiu.
This is fate! Often, the fate of one person is like a vortex, not only affecting themselves but also affecting those around them.
Daoist Master Yuxuan let out a slight sigh and took his place at the head seat.
The Taiqing Daoist Temple was the host; the other sects were guests.
In the very center of the Yuqing Platform, a piece of red silk covered something that looked like a tripod.
The Taiqing Daoist Temple was quite straightforward. If they said "Martial Arts Tournament," they really meant to bring out a tripod.
The main seat was right in front of this red silk. Daoist Yuxuan took his seat unhurriedly, straightforwardly saying, "Not long ago, the Mountain and Sea Pass fell."
At these words, the whole place erupted into a commotion.
The speed of information transmission in the Cultivation World is very fast, but everyone here was focused on the Martial Arts Tournament itself and had not paid attention to the situation in the north.
Moreover, the Grassland People were considered insignificant, unworthy of concern.
The Demon Tribe, the Grassland, whoever doesn’t listen gets beaten up; this is the arrogance of the Central Plains!
Of course, the primary reason was that the Taiqing Daoist Temple had dispatched four top Elders to guard the Mountain and Sea Pass. How could it have fallen?
The crowd was buzzing with discussions, and Daoist Yuxuan remained calm. At a slight opening of his mouth, his voice would reach everyone clearly, but those who were close did not feel that his voice was too loud. This skill alone showed the extent of his cultivation.
"My sect’s Elder Yuzhu was originally from the Demon Race. He infiltrated us and until last night, he poisoned and killed Elders Yuheng and Yuzhen."
"The Demon Race?!"
"Again, the Demon Race?"
Last time the Shenxiao Sect made a fuss about the Demon Race, with Hu Yuling defecting.
After that, the Guanghan Palace experienced the issue with the Flower Fairy. Now, everyone in the Central Plains was convinced that the Flower Fairy was a demon. And now, the Taiqing Daoist Temple also had a Demon Race infiltrator.
This was a chilling thought, how many more demons were hidden among the crowd?
For a moment, panic spread, and many were pale with fright.
Daoist Master Yuxuan suddenly furrowed his brows, then relaxed them.
Finally, they were coming. I have been waiting for you for a long time!
