The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 600 - 108 Can This Work?

Bai Jiaojiao stopped Yuan Zihe to give her a Dragon Scale.

This was only a temporary measure, acting as an early warning device and offering protection to Yuan Zihe.

The cause behind the previous fish and shrimp disturbance had not yet been found, and the night might not be safe. There might be battles ahead, so giving Yuan Zihe a token also served to prevent her from being overwhelmed by the dragon’s might.

Bai Jiaojiao’s dragon might indiscriminately intimidated all creatures nearby, friend or foe alike. Unless she reined in her might, but having just transformed into a dragon, it would take her some time to withdraw her oppressive aura. During this period, Yuan Zihe, being an ordinary person, might suffer immensely.

Yuan Zihe accepted the white Dragon Scale with reverence, so excited that she even forgot to say thanks.

This was a True Dragon’s scale!

Humanity’s reverence for dragons has been age-old, ranking them first among The Four Sacred Beasts. The Emperor dons dragon robes to highlight his exalted status, and for Cultivators, having a dragon in their technique’s name adds much prestige.

Ordinary people already hold endless admiration for dragons, but the Yuan Family’s reverence is even greater.

Since the Yuan Family’s power derived from a dragon, it was within reason for her to be somewhat beside herself with excitement.

Bai Jiaojiao did not take issue with her reaction, simply saying, "Go rest yourself. When it’s time to depart tomorrow, we will call for you."

After Bai Jiaojiao spoke, Yuan Zihe could no longer see her, only to find that the originally tranquil banks of Cloud Dream Marsh were now enveloped in a layer of unfathomable Great Mist.

This was Lin Yun employing his Divine Skills, which was also within Yuan Zihe’s intel.

Many times, when Lin Yun appeared, it was associated with a great mist, leading one to speculate that this might be some secret technique of Lin Yun.

Uncertain whether Lin Yun would peer at her through the Great Mist, Yuan Zihe dared not to be careless. Without looking down to inspect the condition of the Seagrass, she clutched the Dragon Scale and headed back to her makeshift tent.

From now on, she could not display any odd behavior.

Only when she took off her shoes did Yuan Zihe’s hands suddenly stiffen.

On the soles of her shoes, she saw the Seagrass that she had stepped on, now flattened.

Oh my poor grass, you died a horrible death...

Yuan Zihe felt a deep sadness in her heart, but dared not show it.

Seagrass: "Give me some saltwater, I might still be saved..."

Yuan Zihe appeared casual as she took the Seagrass from under her shoe, tossed it aside, and threw her sweat-soaked undergarment that had been drenched under the dragon’s pressure over it.

The concentration of this saltwater isn’t bad; it just has a bit of a scent.

Of course, the area under a beautiful girl’s arms would be fragrant.

The Lin Yun that Yuan Zihe was worried about was not focusing much attention on her. This was just like when Lin Yun went to Dongfang Hongyue’s side, and Dongfang Hongyue didn’t care about his identity. The stronger one is, the more confident they become, and the less they care about such matters.

To Lin Yun, Yuan Zihe was just someone unlikely to pose a threat to him; she didn’t warrant much attention.

He was now more concerned about the anomaly in Cloud Dream Marsh.

Long Xiaoman, that foolish Dragon King, didn’t seem to be the mastermind behind the scenes. Lin Yun knew this very well, but since he had caught her, she still had to do something.

Long Xiaoman proposed that she could communicate with the aquatic creatures, so Lin Yun let her back into the water.

Those frenzied fish and shrimp that had charged at them were all killed by Lin Yun, but downstream of this body of water, there were other fish and shrimp. Lin Yun then dispatched Long Xiaoman to investigate.

Of course, he and Bai Jiaojiao followed close behind.

Long Xiaoman wanted to demonstrate her dragon king majesty by showing her control over the fish and shrimp, but underwater, not a single fish listened to her. Instead, they all aggressively attacked her.

Fortunately, being naturally a fish, she hadn’t won against people but never lost to fish.

After bullying all the aquatic creatures, she somewhat maintained her kingly dignity!

Lin Yun was thoroughly disappointed in Long Xiaoman; she was a fish that was useless other than producing bubbles. It might be better to let her go free!

But her recent performance was not entirely meaningless. After analyzing, Lin Yun said, "The fish and shrimp in this area have all lost their sanity. They’re either poisoned or influenced by some unusual entity. Their disturbance might not be targeted at us."

Lin Yun discarded his first thought that arose when they were attacked, which was that they were under enemy assault and perhaps there was a conspiracy behind it.

But there had been no other developments for quite a while, and from beginning to end, there had only been some crazed fish and shrimp, along with two slightly more formidable rats. Lin Yun now felt that he might have been overthinking things.

This was not premeditated, but accidental.

Who would unnecessarily poison some small fish and shrimp just to make them go mad?

Does that have any significance?

Even though Lin Yun proposed two possibilities, in truth, there was only one likely.

Bai Jiaojiao quickly grasped Lin Yun’s implication.

There’s something special in these waters!

The coincidence of Long Xiaoman’s appearance was just that, a coincidence.

But within coincidence, there is also inevitability.

"Could it be because of me?"

Bai Jiaojiao thought of the recent anomalies, just as she had fully evolved into a True Dragon, establishing a connection with this part of the world.

Lin Yun nodded, he was thinking the same thing.

"Let’s explore the nearby waters. Cloud Dream Marsh is indeed a place filled with legends!"

Just by hearing the name, Lin Yun felt like there must be stories here.

But, was this event simply a coincidence in the place where he had temporarily settled, or was it orchestrated?

Thinking of his own destiny, Lin Yun’s mood became heavier.

As Yuan Zihe was sleeping, she heard the sound of fierce winds and loud waters outside, with even the ground shaking. Unable to sit still, she hurried out of the tent.

Once she emerged, she saw the huge red, white, and green bodies within the water appearing and disappearing. The entire waters of Cloud Dream Marsh were muddled, and Lin Yun was hovering in the air.

Yuan Zihe immediately looked puzzled. What was this for? Were they dismantling a river?

Seeing Yuan Zihe come out, Lin Yun also slowly descended to her side, inadvertently catching a glimpse of Yuan Zihe’s fair skin.

Earlier, in order not to draw attention while giving life to the Seagrass, Yuan Zihe had taken off her undergarment, not bothering to put it back on, allowing Lin Yun a clear view.

In such a scene, Lin Yun himself felt the urge to compose a poem, displaying just the tip of his talent!

"Miss He, the wind is strong outside, you should go back and rest," he said.

As he spoke, Lin Yun took out a garment from the Demon Summoning Well and draped it over Yuan Zihe.

A true gentleman remembers what he sees at first glance, so there’s no need to look twice.

Yuan Zihe certainly wasn’t afraid of the cold; her display of slight cultivation belied the fact that her realm was actually higher than Lin Yun’s.

However, when Lin Yun covered her with the garment, she still felt a warm feeling in her heart.

But soon, she perceived something amiss and understood why Lin Yun had given her a garment.

Yuan Zihe’s face flushed hot. Though she was theoretically knowledgeable and even prepared to seduce Lin Yun if necessary, realizing that he might have seen something pleasing threw her into a flutter of panic.

She held Lin Yun’s garment tightly around her, yet she couldn’t help but feel some fondness for him.

Though he was a formidable enemy, he was indeed gentle, considerate, and handsome.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin. What are you all doing here?" she asked tentatively, genuinely curious.

Lin Yun had no intention to keep her in the dark. After all, he never regarded Yuan Zihe as a competitor.

If there were indeed relics below, the prime treasures naturally wouldn’t be within Yuan Zihe’s reach, but if she were lucky enough to pick up some scraps, that would be her own fortune.

"They’re looking for relics. There must be a reason why the fish and shrimp were so frenzied earlier. I don’t think it’s likely that someone drugged them, so the only possibility is that something nearby has inadvertently driven them mad," he explained.

Yuan Zihe: "..."

You might not believe it, but that poison was indeed my doing.

Seeing Lin Yun analyze the situation so seriously, Yuan Zihe couldn’t help but be amused.

Is that all?

Lin Yun, the unparalleled strategist?

I’m dying of laughter.

You guys just keep looking!

Yuan Zihe snickered inwardly. If you manage to find any relics or treasures, I’ll eat...

"We’ve found it!"

Yuan Zihe almost bit her own tongue.

Even though she was speaking in her mind, she was cut off before she could finish.

She quickly corrected herself.

I’ll eat seaweed.

The slowly recovering seagrass suddenly felt somewhat uncertain.

The one who declared they found something was Long Xiaoman.

This time, she succeeded in proving herself.

Where Bai Jiaojiao and the Green Snake had found nothing, she had discovered something special.

Without delving too deeply, she felt a special power and, having only seen the vague outline, she immediately went ashore to report to Lin Yun.

"It’s down there under the water," she said.

Lin Yun: "..."

I really am a child of destiny.

Yuan Zihe was stunned on the spot. How could this even happen?

How could you find something so easily?

"Is it a relic?" Lin Yun asked curiously, now indifferent to the prospect of relics.

"No, it’s like a ship," Long Xiaoman excitedly responded, that the ship was large and beyond her ability to pull—it had to be a good ship.

Upon hearing it was a shipwreck, Yuan Zihe also understood.

The Cloud Dream Marsh had many years of history; a few ancient shipwrecks down below were not that astonishing.

Connected to the Dragon River, but shallow compared to it, the Marsh couldn’t accommodate too many large vessels. Presumably, the shipwrecks wouldn’t contain many valuable items—if they found just a small fishing boat, that would be amusing.

Yuan Zihe considered the possibility and wanted to snicker again.

At this moment, Bai Jiaojiao began to exhibit her divine skills.

Diving down to dig up the ship would be too undignified for a cultivator.

Therefore, with a raise of Bai Jiaojiao’s dragon claw, the water began to swirl, forming a massive vortex. In no time, a ten-meter-wide dry channel appeared, reaching all the way to the bottom, while the flow of the Cloud Dream Marsh remained unaffected.

At the midstream of Cloud Dream Marsh, had Bai Jiaojiao crudely split the water into two parts, there would have been floods upstream and drought downstream. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

With Bai Jiaojiao’s method of altering the environment without disturbing other areas, it was evident from this detail that her understanding of the Heavenly Dao had deepened further.

Witnessing this, Lin Yun also gained some insight.

Though he could have momentary enlightenments at any time, for now, it was better to dive down and check the ship.

Yuan Zihe: "..."

Did Lin Yun just enter a state of sudden enlightenment and interrupt it himself?

Is something wrong with his mind?
