The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 624 - 133: Three Treasures Catch Four Fish
The black cat’s lively eyes met Wu Xin with trepidation, making Wu Xin extremely nervous.
If Lin Yun found out she harbored a second heart, she feared there would be no good outcome for her. If he simply killed her it might be better, but given Lin Yun’s devilish nature, it was certain he wouldn’t let her off so easily. He might tie her up and bully her mercilessly.
Just thinking about that dreadful scene made Wu Xin’s whole body shudder.
But the black cat’s gaze merely swept over Wu Xin without volunteering what it had seen. Instead, it resolutely looked at Lin Yun and said, "Tell me what you want to know, and I will. Just make it quick!"
In that moment, Wu Xin suddenly understood the meaning behind the black cat’s gaze.
It was the realization of someone who had been bullied by Lin Yun, preferring death to enduring more humiliation from him.
And that look was telling her, "I won’t betray you, but I hope you can avenge me."
At that moment, Wu Xin’s eyes teared up.
Little kitty, rest assured in your departure. I will inherit your will and defeat the Great Demon King!
Wu Xin felt her demonic blood ignite.
Lin Yun, however, ruffled the black cat’s fur with a ruthless hand.
"Don’t make me out to be some sort of big bad guy; I’m not a cruel and murderous fiend. Rest assured, I won’t kill you."
Black Cat: "..."
That’s exactly what I’m afraid of!
Cats can be killed but not humiliated!
"After all, you did help me and Jiao Jiao escape. How could Lin Yun be an ungrateful wretch?"
I just wanted to keep a cat, that’s all.
Black Cat: "..."
Are you claiming now that it wasn’t you who threatened to pluck my fur before?
"Then I truly thank Young Master Lin for his generosity."
The Black Cat sarcastically remarked, discontentedly shaking its head to free itself from Lin Yun’s grip, only for Lin Yun to pick it up again and say, "Answer me one more question, and I’ll let you go."
"You have my word, ask away!"
The Black Cat felt a glimmer of hope, but perhaps it had rejoiced too soon.
"Those people should belong to different forces. I want you to tell me about the forces behind them and any special abilities they might have."
Black Cat: "..."
In betraying them all, the Black Cat felt the weight of severe consequences it couldn’t possibly bear.
"You might as well kill me, I can’t tell you."
The Black Cat was ready to meet its end with dignity.
Lin Yun found it amusing that a cat could show such integrity.
"You’re quite the feline hero. I can’t bring myself to kill you. Why don’t you stay by my side as a little pet?"
"You actually want me to be a pet!"
The cat’s face was filled with shock. A pet is just a plaything, isn’t it?
That would be worse than death!
"Besides, I’m not a cat; I’m a tapir!"
The Black Cat’s final stand was its identity.
Lin Yun held it and stroked it a few times, pleased with himself, "Fine, fine, fine. You’re a demon. I wouldn’t want other demons as pets anyway!"
Wu Xin: "..."
I feel like someone is hinting at me.
The Black Cat, held in Lin Yun’s arms, eventually gave up struggling.
Forget it. It’s just being touched a little. It’s better for one to suffer indignity alone than for the entire inhabitants of the Dream Mirage Divine Realm to face disaster.
The Black Cat comforted itself internally, then heard Lin Yun say, "You three don’t really need to chase after those who ran away. Just guard this spatial rift. Firstly, if any more Divine Realm Inhabitants come through, you can intercept them immediately. Secondly, if those from the Divine Realm Inhabitants want to escape back, they can’t bypass this place. Thirdly, if there’s any change in this spatial rift, you can know right away."
Hearing Lin Yun say this, both Bai Jiaojiao and Wang Wanqiu, initially eager to find trouble with the Divine Realm Inhabitants, calmed down a bit.
That’s right, they could just wait here!
However, Wang Wanqiu still had a question: "Should we just ignore those Divine Realm Inhabitants who fled?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll send a message out. Someone will deal with them."
"The Master is in seclusion, who else has the power to deal with them?"
"Isn’t there still me?"
Lin Yun confidently said, "I am now in the Celestial Knowing Realm, handling a few Divine Realm Inhabitants shouldn’t be a problem."
Wu Xin:"..."
Her mood soured at the reminder of being beaten by the Divine Realm Inhabitants as someone of the Defiant Heavenly Realm. Yet she couldn’t speak up because Lin Yun wasn’t boasting; he truly had the power, and that was what troubled her most.
It’s so infuriating. Am I, Wu Xin, destined to be bullied all my life?
How can everyone just push me around!
If only I had a decent weapon...
As Wu Xin thought this, a glove suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Heavenly Demon Hand!
Then, Wu Xin, who had been looking forward to it, saw the Heavenly Demon Hand fall into Bai Jiaojiao’s possession.
For a moment, she thought Lin Yun would give the Heavenly Demon Hand to her, and in that moment, she was so moved she was nearly brought to tears. Then, the Heavenly Demonic Beast ended up in Bai Jiaojiao’s hands instead.
The child was almost crying from frustration.
This Heavenly Demon Hand had been refined by Lin Yun; the Demonic Qi inside it had been purified by Lin Yun and transformed into petals of the Merit Golden Lotus within his body.
Afterward, Lin Yun added some of his blood, a copious amount of Spiritual Liquid, and some Power of Thunder.
High-end materials often require only the most unadorned methods of refinement; after the Heavenly Tribulation, this Heavenly Demon Hand had become a Heavenly Divine Artifact.
Upon reflection, Lin Yun still felt the Heavenly Demon Hand suited Bai Jiaojiao the best because she was a dragon. She could unleash greater combat power when fighting in her true form, where she couldn’t wield weapons. The Heavenly Demon Hand could change in size, complementing her dragon claws and enhancing the power of her claw strikes.
Bai Jiaojiao happily slipped the glove on, and the transparent glove quickly clung to her hand like a second skin before vanishing from sight.
"When did you refine this? I didn’t even see it."
"Isn’t it to surprise you?"
At these words, Bai Jiaojiao smiled even more happily, a bit shyly saying, "I’ve also prepared a surprise for you."
Wang Wanqiu: "..."
Watching Lin Yun and Bai Jiaojiao flirt with each other, she suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
She turned her head unnaturally, only to catch sight of the unwilling look on Wu Xin’s face.
She... also likes Lin Yun?
Wu Xin: "..."
She was infuriated!
The Heavenly Demon Hand, originally hers!
She had snatched the Heavenly Demon Instrument from Yuxuan’s hands with great difficulty, and then when it encountered Lin Yun, it ran off with him.
No matter how much she argued at the time, it was in vain; now seeing it again, sure enough, it had been made into a Heavenly Divine Artifact, hadn’t it?
In the end, a sycophant gets nothing!
But wasn’t she herself a sycophant to those two Heavenly Demon Instruments? This feeling was like seeing the one she loved, yet unattainable, being casually molded and squashed in someone else’s hands, showing no mercy and playing until it broke.
Wu Xin felt a mix of stifled sorrow and a bit of schadenfreude.
Humph, look what happened because you didn’t choose me in the beginning, now you’re debased by Lin Yun to such a state!
Wu Xin was stewing with indignation, but at that moment, Lin Yun handed her a sword.
The glove he gave Bai Jiaojiao emanated a sacred aura, while the sword given to Wu Xin was brimming with a sinister Demonic Qi.
Wu Xin, who had just been filled with anger, saw Lin Yun hand her a sword, and her upset and fury dissipated, replaced by disbelief.
"This is... for me?"
"Yeah, I was thinking you didn’t have a handy weapon, so I specifically crafted one for you."
That was a lie.
In fact, Lin Yun felt that had too much Demonic Qi inside him, and if he didn’t expel it, it might cause severe consequences. However, directly disposing of it seemed wasteful. So, putting his waste to use, Lin Yun found some materials and refined a sword, then infused it with Demonic Qi.
This sword, now given to Wu Xin, already contained as much Demonic Qi as it could hold without risking damage from further infusion by Lin Yun.
Originally, Lin Yun had intended to give the sword to Wang Wanqiu, but considering its overt Demonic Qi, and that Wang Wanqiu was a disciple of the Righteous Path who no one knew had already become part of the Demon Race in disguise, it was better to keep a low profile. So he decided to give it to Wu Xin instead.
Giving it to Hu Yuling was also an option, but Lin Yun thought the sword’s concentrated Demonic Qi might be too much for her to handle.
That was the real reason for giving the sword to Wu Xin; it was simply leveraging waste and also conveniently a way to reel in the fish that was already on the hook.
After hearing this, Wu Xin finally accepted the sword. Despite the joy in her heart, she said, "Don’t think this can buy me. We still have a score to settle!"
This textbook tsundere struck right at Lin Yun’s soft spot, especially since Wu Xin was still so young, making Lin Yun unable to help but reveal a smile reminiscent of a weird uncle.
After distributing the equipment, Lin Yun was ready to conclude, but he turned to see Wang Wanqiu eagerly looking at him.
Ah, this time he really hadn’t considered it properly; giving gifts to everyone he was with, except for neglecting Wang Wanqiu, which was inappropriate. After all, she had also been moving soil with him for so long.
Now Wang Wanqiu was looking at him, clearly waiting for her gift!
However, the sword meant for her had been given to someone else...
Lin Yun silently took out the Demon Summoning Well and searched around, only to find there wasn’t another decent gift to give.
He now had only two Divine Artifacts, the Qiaobian and the Thunderclap Sword, both of which he was very accustomed to and unlikely to give away. Nor could he part with the Demon Summoning Well.
If that was the case...
"Here, take this Sacred Demon’s Manual. It might not be a treasure, but it’s a valuable note left by a Great Demon. It should be helpful to you."
Quick-thinking as ever, Lin Yun swiftly found such a manual in the pile of sundries.
This item might not be appropriate to give to others, but it was fine for Wang Wanqiu, who needed to understand more about the Demon Race.
"Thank you."
Wang Wanqiu smiled as she took the gift from Lin Yun. She didn’t even know why she had just used a look to ask Lin Yun for a gift – perhaps it was the atmosphere? Or maybe it was Lin Yun’s influence as a Heart Demon that slowly made her unlike herself?
However, she was still very happy to receive the gift.
The black cat, held in Lin Yun’s arms, watched as he distributed treasures and suddenly thought being Lin Yun’s cat might not be so bad after all.
Those treasures all seemed so powerful!
Only Wu Xin’s expression changed again, as she looked at Lin Yun with fierce eyes.
You’re giving away my diary to someone else right in front of me, are you even human?
