The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 633 - 141: The False Savior

Lin Yun said this in a half-joking tone, yet the air in the kitchen became so tense it was practically frozen.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Li’s mind went completely blank.

Is it that obvious how I feel?

What do I do, how should I answer?

Could he possibly like me too? Or is it just because I gave him the Jade Ruyi that he’s asking out of politeness?

For a moment, Zhen Li was in total chaos, but then suddenly she remembered the divination she had done before, which promised great fortune.

Does this mean that whatever I do today will succeed?

Zhen Li’s intelligence had barely started to come back when she suddenly heard Lin Yun laugh and say, "Haha, I was just kidding. Did I scare you? How could you like someone like me!"

Zhen Li: "..."

She wanted to argue, but ultimately lacked the courage. Her small hand clutched the hem of her Daoist robe, her heartbeat quickening. She had been brewing a rebuttal to Lin Yun in her heart, but when it came time to speak, she felt afraid.

After much internal struggle, she finally said, "Why would you say that?"

What Zhen Li was asking was why Lin Yun thought she wouldn’t like him, hinting that she might indeed have feelings for him.

It’s just the restraint and shyness typical of a young girl’s heart.

At this moment, Zhen Li felt like there were deer running wild in her heart, thumping loudly. She even thought that perhaps she was about to find a Dao companion, her mood lifting joyously.

But Lin Yun pretended to be frivolous, saying, "You are a direct disciple of a Reputable Sect, while I’m a Righteous Path defector who has colluded with the grassland tribes, the Demon Race, and even the Demon Sect..."

"Those are all rumors! And you must have your reasons."

Zhen Li interrupted him; she had never thought of Lin Yun as a bad person, even if his crimes were clear and his motives evident, she still believed he was good.

"Actually, these are not rumors, and there aren’t any hard-luck stories."

Lin Yun said seriously, "I help the Flower Fairy because she is my woman. I defected to the grasslands because the Snow Maiden is my woman. And yes, colluding with the Demon Sect is also true, you see, Dongfang Hongyue, she’s also my woman."

This reveal was like a werewolf outing himself, leaving Zhen Li so stunned her mind buzzed.

She thought Lin Yun helped the Flower Fairy out of brotherly affection, and a bit of ambiguity was normal and understandable, but the Snow Maiden seemed inappropriate, and when did Dongfang Hongyue come into the picture?

Zhen Li felt her head spinning, but after all, she wasn’t foolish and gradually began to understand.

Lin Yun wasn’t joking with her; he clearly saw through her feelings and was hinting at her obliquely that he already had many women, and he wasn’t a good man—isn’t this just tactfully advising her to give up?

To remind her in a joking way so she wouldn’t waste her affections and feel embarrassed, to prefer revealing his secrets rather than hurting her, Lin Yun really was a gentle person!

Indeed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and despite Lin Yun’s self-exposé, Zhen Li’s fondness for him didn’t diminish; on the contrary, it increased.

At this moment, Zhen Li suddenly felt courageous—maybe this was love, or perhaps it was just rebellion, but in any case, she was fired up.

"The fact that you have many women just proves that you’re likable, so it makes sense for me to fall for you, doesn’t it!"

In the kitchen enveloped by cooking fumes, Zhen Li tilted her head up slightly, her cheeks flushed with nervousness, yet she looked determinedly at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun couldn’t help sighing to himself.

Alas, why can’t this girl be saved?

I really am a man with deep sins.

I thought Zhen Li was the kind of sweet, shy girl who would back off when I spoke to this extent, but I never expected her to have this side to her, directly confronting me and catching me off guard.

After sighing inwardly, he joked, "There’s a certain possibility, but a good girl like you can’t fall for me, oh, my heart is already filled by witches, demonesses, and goddesses; there’s no spare room left."

Finally, Lin Yun held Zhen Li off.

Zhen Li didn’t make an explicit confession, but she made her feelings almost clear, and Lin Yun’s rejection was quite direct too. Both kept their last shred of modesty, but modesty is only for concealment. Hearing Lin Yun say that there’s no spare room in his heart, Zhen Li suddenly felt her own heart become empty.

She didn’t persist, but left the kitchen feeling dejected. In that moment, she even forgot to maintain her facade.

Lin Yun watched her retreating figure, and suddenly a melody echoed in his mind.

"My Daoist Nun Friend.mp3"

Ah, this...

I really want to comfort her, what should I do?

But having just rejected her, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to comfort her right now?

Lin Yun sighed again, what deep sins he had!

Though he was a fickle lover, his heart could only be split into seven parts. Zhen Li was indeed sweet and cute, very likable, but Lin Yun always felt she lacked something.

Lin Yun did trust Zhen Li very much and felt protective of her, but that was as a friend, without the impulse to push her down and caress her.

Was it because she was too pure that Lin Yun turned into a sage?

Lin Yun suddenly didn’t understand his own mindset anymore; even though he didn’t love Hu Yuling, every time she cried out yingyingying from his beating, he felt an urge to switch to a whip.

Even toward Gao Qing and Bai Gan, Lin Yun had moments of slight respect, yet only toward Zhen Li, he never had any improper thoughts.

Zhen Li was clearly very attractive, and her smile was sweet and charming, but in her presence, he was always in sage mode.

Hiss...

Is something wrong with her, or is it me?

When he thought about how Yuxuan said that both he and Zhen Li were Saviors, could it be that there was a will in the darkness preventing him from being harsh with Zhen Li?

That was a bit terrifying.

Lin Yun thought with dread, so distracted that he scorched the food.

In the yard, Dongfang Hongyue and Yu Jiaolong were deep in friendly conversation, with Hongyue’s superior conversational skills, she had found out almost everything she wanted to know.

Yu Jiaolong had four sisters, all born from the Mother Goddess’s Blood, but now she was the sole daughter of the Emperor of Tai Bai Divine Nation, as the other three sisters, due to their insufficiently pure bloodline power, were not recognized as Goddesses. So among the four sisters, only she was a princess. The Emperor of Tai Bai Divine Nation recognized only her as his daughter.

These are the children of the divine; they must gravitate towards the Mother Goddess.

Whether in character or appearance, the closer to the Mother Goddess, the purer the bloodline, and vice versa. Those born from the Mother Goddess’s blood but not resembling her, don’t even get their identity acknowledged.

Yu Jiaolong told all of this to Dongfang Hongyue, the only secret she kept was the condition of the Emperor of Tai Bai Divine Nation. Otherwise, everything that could be extracted was not spared from Hongyue’s tactics.

The reason she achieved such a result was that Hongyue also leaked some insignificant information, making Yu Jiaolong feel like she was getting the better deal.

The information Hongyue leaked pertained to the current cultivation system, as it was not a secret in itself; Yu Jiaolong could find out about it from any small cultivator.

The three stages of cultivation and nine realms were almost common knowledge. Yet among these truths, there were lies; Hongyue falsely reported the number of Defiant Heavenly Realm cultivators.

Her information network was highly informed and communicated with both Lin Yu and Lin Yun. She knew that Lin Yu had made a breakthrough and that Bai Jiaojiao had successfully matured from a young Dragon into a True Dragon, possibly even more powerful than Lin Yu.

Together with Wu Xin, who was secretly controlled by Lin Yun, these were the likely only three Defiant Heavenly Realm cultivators. From observing Yu Jiaolong’s power, she was probably on par with the Defiant Heavenly Realm. According to Yu Jiaolong, she was the strongest Goddess in the Tai Bai Divine Nation, and only the Four Great National Masters were more formidable than her.

This meant the Tai Bai Divine Nation alone had five Defiant Heavenly Realm individuals, and while the other two Divine Nations were somewhat weaker, they each also had three top-notch fighters who could rival Yu Jiaolong.

The combined military force of all the God Realms undoubtedly surpassed theirs, leaving Hongyue no choice but to fabricate.

"We have ten great Defiant Heavenly Realm powerhouses..."

"Defiant Heavenly Realm... You all have such audacity," Yu Jiaolong said, her face showing amazement for the first time. "To dare to challenge the heavens with mortal power, and yet to truly reach this realm and not die is truly incredible."

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

Was the name chosen a bit incorrectly?

No wonder the historical records spanning nearly ten thousand years never clearly documented anyone achieving the Defiant Heavenly Realm, mostly just rumors that xxx reached that supreme realm.

Dongfang Hongyue had only seen two so far: Wu Xin and Yuxuan.

Yuxuan was indeed terrifyingly powerful. His cultivation level was inscrutable, but regardless of one’s level, they were powerless before him.

Unfortunately, the world’s number one fell too quickly, and she never properly saw him fight even once, leaving her unaware of his actual destructive power.

As for Wu Xin, a demon clearly orchestrated by Lin Yun, there was a time Hongyue thought that this was all to the Defiant Heavenly Realm?

She had thought that after breaking through a realm, there would be earth-shattering changes, but because of Wu Xin, Hongyue felt it was nothing special.

As for Lin Yu and Bai Jiaojiao, whom she heard about through intelligence, Hongyue had not yet seen them after their breakthroughs. But Lin Yu had said that ever since his breakthrough, he could sense a malice in the darkness. Could it be due to the name and being resented by the heavens?

Dongfang Hongyue silently mused to herself, "Should I call myself a Conforming Heavenly Realm in the future?"

She was not far from the Defiant Heavenly Realm. After Yuxuan’s guidance, the path ahead was clear.

Her Heavenly Soul was nearing perfection; now, she only lacked an Earthly Soul.

However, obtaining the Earthly Soul required Facing Death to Survive, taking a tour through the Netherland. Such an adventurous act was beyond Hong Yue’s confidence for the moment, and she had not yet tried it, but now she seemed to be running out of time to prepare.

She continued to probe Yu Jiaolong, trying to extract more information from her.

"How is this realm referred to in your place?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"We do not speak of realms. All power comes from the divine gift. That you can cultivate by seizing the essence of heaven and earth and even name it ’Defiant Heavenly,’ truly surprises me. Could it be that..."

Dongfang Hongyue had a premonition that Yu Jiaolong was about to reveal a big secret. However, at this critical moment, Zhen Li walked over, looking dispirited, and sat down. Yu Jiaolong stopped speaking...

Dongfang Hongyue: "?"

Where did this girl who’s messing things up come from?
