The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 595 - 103: No matter how many schemes you have, I will break them with stability.
Lin Yun’s gaze swept over Yuan Zihe, hmm, people in the Cultivation World really do have high standards of beauty, even a fisherwoman looks this good, nearly matching the beauty of the Little Carp from before.
The Little Carp refers to Long Xiaoman, who was ranked tenth by the Book Immortal.
Honestly, Lin Yun was somewhat puzzled by the Book Immortal’s ranking back then.
If it only counted humans, a bunch of them shouldn’t have made the list; thinking about it carefully, less than half of the top ten beauties were human.
If you include demons, Xiao Qing’s looks certainly weren’t inferior.
Yet Bai Jiaojiao made the list, and Xiao Qing did not.
Another was a demon.
The Flower Fairy made the list, whereas Wu Xin and Hu Yuling did not.
It’s strange, given Hu Yuling’s impressive figure and Wu Xin’s adorably fierce appeal, they surely deserved a spot on the list.
So, there are many details about this ranking that are worth digging into.
How could there possibly be only ten great beauties in the world!
Let’s set aside these points for now. Although Yuan Zihe was beautiful, Lin Yun didn’t pay too much attention to her.
As a man who often saw pretty girls, he was no longer just at the superficial level of judging by the face.
Now, he mainly looked at the face and figure.
Cough cough.
"Miss, do you intend to stay here just for one night?"
After hearing Green Snake briefly state Yuan Zihe’s request, Lin Yun sought confirmation from Yuan Zihe again.
Yuan Zihe, seeing Lin Yun appeared amenable to discussion, quickly showed a delighted expression and nodded repeatedly.
"Indeed, with my looks, Lin Yun definitely won’t have the heart to send me away."
Yuan Zihe was inwardly dissing Lin Yun; despite his good looks, men easily swayed by beauty were all just for show, unlikely to have much substance.
And someone who often mixed with women probably wasn’t too sturdy physically, either.
Having just met, Yuan Zihe was already starting to doubt Lin Yun’s combat capabilities.
She was unaware that a certain very arrogant White Dragon couldn’t even leave his residence now.
You see, the physical bodies of demons are stronger than those of humans, and among the Demon Tribe, a dragon’s body is considered to be the strongest, rising above the rest.
Bai Jiaojiao was already a True Dragon, and she was having trouble keeping up, much less finding another dragon for assistance...
Lin Yun didn’t consider the possibility that Yuan Zihe might be a spy or insider traitor; seeing that she wished to stay here and being genuinely worried about this area of water, he let her be.
"Since you wish to stay here, then please do," he said.
"Thank you, young master, for taking me in," Yuan Zihe quickly expressed her gratitude, all the while secretly thinking to herself: Renowned for wisdom close to that of a demon, Lin Yun is nothing special after all, readily letting an unknown woman sleep beside his bed. Hmph, let me give you a lesson then!
"No need for thanks; this place is ownerless land, so you can stay as long as you want," Lin Yun said with his ever-friendly smile, and then he suggested to Green Snake, "We should also be changing locations soon."
Yuan Zihe: "???"
So letting me stay means you’re going to leave?
What’s the purpose of my staying then?
Yuan Zihe felt completely off balance at that moment; having previously insisted on staying the night, any sudden change in her attitude now would only arouse suspicion.
She had to make one final struggle.
"Young master, you’re leaving overnight? Please heed my advice. The rumors about the sea monster must be true, many people heard the beast’s roars last night."
Listening to Yuan Zihe’s warning, Lin Yun felt somewhat touched.
This girl, she’s a good person indeed!
This was the kind of care and concern for one’s fellows you’d expect from a kindhearted. orderly person, though frail, she still had a certain level of empathy and concern for her own kind.
Lin Yun nodded and said, "Rest assured, miss. If we dare to move around at night, we have our means of protection."
He could just say outright that the so-called beast’s roars were simply Bai Jiaojiao having a particularly tough time, and coincidentally the task was completed without danger, but he feared that might frighten the lady or somehow affect her in an unknown way due to the True Dragon, thus creating karma with her.
Lin Yun only explained this much, which was sufficient.
Yuan Zihe was, of course, not reconciled; after preparing for so long, now that it was time to act, things weren’t going smoothly.
What’s going on? She hadn’t even used the traps she had prepared yet!
Lin Yun hadn’t paid much attention to her, so she had no opportunity to perform. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Revealing her hidden identities herself might make Lin Yun suspicious. Only the truth he discovered little by little would convince him entirely.
So, she had to take the risk!
The Divine Artifact was very important to Yuan Zidan, crucial to the Yuan Family’s imperial ambitions. In order to steal the artifact, she had to take risks.
Now, hastily altering the plan was likely to create loopholes. If discovered by Lin Yun, it could be dangerous for her, but she’d rather make mistakes than do nothing at all.
"Seagrass, unleash Madness Havoc!"
Yuan Zihe communicated with the seagrass through her mind. The seagrass, having been soaked and crinkled by the water, was forced to wake up. It quickly grew from a small seagrass plant and retrieved a leaf from its own body. Within this leaf was stored Yuan Zihe’s concoction of medicine, Madness Havoc.
Madness Havoc is extracted from a seagrass known as Bloodgrass, which can activate qi and blood, strengthening the vitality of the five viscera and six bowels, and is generally used to resuscitate drowning victims by stimulating their heart and lungs.
Yuan Zihe took an interest in the potion and learned from it, making a small improvement.
If this thing can invigorate the heart and activate the blood, then, adding some similar medicinal herbs should further enhance the effect, right?
At that time, Yuan Zihe didn’t understand the principle of excess leading to loss.
Under her haphazard manipulation, this lifeline turned into poisonous harm.
Sea Beasts that consumed this herb would enter a frenzied state, their strength greatly increased, and they would attack other species; among their own, they would engage in spawning.
The scene was incredibly bloody and violent; from then on, Yuan Zihe named the drug Madness Havoc.
This could also be considered an unexpected delight.
Yuan Zihe’s accomplishments in the field of potions usually happened by fluke.
At first, Yuan Zihe wanted to be a doctor because her clan members had relatively short lifespans. She thought that there must be some disease causing them not to live long.
It wasn’t until later, after learning about the history of the Yuan Family and the mission they bore from her parents, that she realized medicine couldn’t save the Yuan Family.
So, she started using her accidentally acquired bizarre knowledge to prepare to help Yuan Zidan conquer the world.
Madness Havoc was just one of many potions.
Its effects on humans remained unknown, since she hadn’t been insane enough to conduct human experiments; it was only tested on Sea Beasts, and for now, only life forms at the top tier of Sea Beasts like the Deep Sea Seven-Colored Crow could completely resist the effects of Madness Havoc.
Seagrass slashed through the leaf storing many powders and immersed it in water. The Madness Havoc powder fully merged with the water, and then, the water in this area surged along with the current.
Any creature in the water that made contact with this enhanced water became agitated.
If even the Giant Beasts of the sea could not resist the medicine’s effects, then even less so the smaller fishes and shrimps.
But that alone was not enough for Yuan Zihe, who had an emergency plan in place.
In Cloud Dream Marsh, she had hidden two Sea Beasts for the purpose of being able to summon them at a moment’s notice, although these two Sea Beasts weren’t as clever and couldn’t be summoned at will like Seagrass; now, she could only arrange for Seagrass to call them to attack Lin Yun.
Seagrass had just administered the drug and was immediately off to rouse them.
Though it was just a piece of seagrass, it had been treated like a beast of burden.
With a plan for the next steps, Yuan Zihe could only feign setting up camp onshore.
Lin Yun, however, did not leave immediately but first went back inside the house.
Seeing Lin Yun return, Bai Jiaojiao was still languidly sprawled out.
After a day and night, and another day of teaching, she had given up resisting. There was no point in pleading; she might as well go with the flow, and actually...
It felt pretty good.
She only felt a bit tired, and couldn’t pinpoint why. Clearly, her body was in excellent shape, and she had even received an ample supply of energy. Why would she be tired?
Bai Jiaojiao was also perplexed.
"Is it due to excessive dehydration?"
Putting aside Bai Jiaojiao’s random thoughts, although she was bullied by Lin Yun, seeing him only increased her joy, and in a coquettish voice, she said, "What’s the matter, why did Qing’er get into an argument with someone?"
With her coquettish demeanor, she didn’t look at all like a True Dragon should.
"There’s a passerby who wants to spend the night here, she won’t allow it," Lin Yun briefly explained what happened and then sat down next to Bai Jiaojiao.
Bai Jiaojiao naturally leaned in, saying, "Is it because we teased Qing’er yesterday and annoyed her, and that’s why she’s taking it out on others?"
Based on what Bai Jiaojiao knew about Green Snake, she wasn’t one to cause trouble. If the passerby’s demands weren’t excessive, why would Green Snake quarrel with her?
Thus, Bai Jiaojiao considered the possibility that Green Snake was already in a bad mood.
Lin Yun pinched her nose irritably and said, "It’s your fault, always running around and talking nonsense."
Bai Jiaojiao’s face flushed, and she replied shyly, "You’ve already punished me for that, so stop blaming me. I didn’t do it on purpose, and besides, even though it was a joke, I was serious. You know, keeping it in the family!"
At this point, Bai Jiaojiao became excited, whispering, "Qing’er is also quite cute. Did you fancy her? If you want, I can help you trick her into bed! After all, you need dragons for your cultivation; having one more is better, right?"
"Here you go again!"
Lin Yun grabbed Bai Jiaojiao’s face and twisted it a couple of times by way of reprimand.
Hmph, he wasn’t the type who wanted to do something every time he saw a pretty woman; he was not that kind of person!
Although he acknowledged that a lot of his relationships were based on physical attraction, he was deeply emotional with every partner he became intimate with. If he wasn’t emotionally invested, he wouldn’t be physically involved either.
Unless he was forced, and the other person was also very good-looking, he’d be physically involved first and then develop feelings.
Lin Yun was a man of principles!
After fooling around for a bit, they got back to the matter at hand. Bai Jiaojiao asked, "What did you do about it?"
"Allowed that girl to stay over while we leave."
"Is there something wrong with that person?"
Bai Jiaojiao’s expression turned serious.
"I can’t see anything wrong, but we must always be cautious in our travels. Now that someone has seen us, this place is no longer suitable for us. Let’s find a new secluded spot to gain enlightenment!"
Bai Jiaojiao: "..."
You haven’t been gaining enlightenment these past two days either...
