The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 660 - 168 Thank you Qian Qian for sending the poisoned milk
Lin Yun’s heart and eyes were filled with only Dongfang Hongyue, and Qian Qian couldn’t help the sourness that spontaneously emerged in her heart, leaving her feelings quite complicated at the moment.
It looked like she was about to face a disaster.
Humans have their crises, and gods have their ordeals too.
Perhaps Lin Yun, this bastard, was her ordeal.
Thinking this, Qian Qian suddenly became somewhat clear-headed, shook off Lin Yun’s hand, and became a bit cold as she said, "We are approaching the Netherworld Realm now, and it’s normal for her to wake up. However, why hasn’t her Earthly Soul appeared?"
Human’s Three Souls attract each other. Normally, when the Human Soul falls into the Yellow Springs, the Earthly Soul in the Netherworld will also react, and the two should attract each other. They usually meet in the Yellow Springs to achieve fusion.
The reason human Cultivators first cultivate the Human Soul and the Heavenly Soul is that the attraction between the two is stronger than that of a single soul. The stronger the Human Soul and the Heavenly Soul, the stronger the pull on the Earthly Soul will be, allowing it to break through the binds of the Netherworld faster and come to the Yellow Springs to unite with the Human Soul and the Heavenly Soul.
At this point, the Human Soul would be mostly awake, striving upwards, and could even return to the body, achieving the completion of the Three Souls being perfected.
The closer one gets to the Netherworld, which is also the bottom of the Yellow Springs, the slimmer the chances of survival become.
Dongfang Hongyue’s soul had reached a high level of completeness. She had reached the peak of the Enlightened Realm, fully fused with her Heavenly Soul, and after cultivating for a while, her soul’s power was incredibly strong. Logically, she should have already attracted her Earthly Soul to break through the barrier of the Netherworld by now, so why hadn’t the Earthly Soul appeared even after she sank?
Hearing Qian Qian’s confused words, Lin Yun realized the situation was bad.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Hongyue herself began her exploration. Opening her eyes, she saw everything was dim and murky, somewhat like the color of twilight.
Not far away was a dark portal, inside which it seemed like a voice was calling to her.
"That’s the Ghost Gate. Once she opens that door, she’ll never be able to return."
"Hearing what you said, I suddenly feel less nervous."
Lin Yun really took a deep breath of relief. Seeing Dongfang Hongyue in danger had made him very anxious, but he was helpless to assist her.
He didn’t expect Qian Qian’s reassurance, and it gave him much relief.
Qian Qian: "..."
The damage wasn’t great, but the insult was strong. Qian Qian was so angry she wanted to burst Lin Yun’s head.
She had intended to stay away from Lin Yun, but considering that Lin Yun was now focused on his love, she had deliberately explained the situation to him. Was there such an understanding and unselfish god?
Was there?
Yet Lin Yun still made such comments, truly enough to infuriate a god!
"Hmph, even if he begs me for help crying, I won’t pay him any attention in the future!"
Fuming inside, Qian Qian silently followed Dongfang Hongyue.
Watching her push open the Ghost Gate, she in her heart readied for Dongfang Hongyue’s demise.
Once one enters the Netherworld, there is no possibility of returning.
Worried about Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yun hurriedly followed. He knew he couldn’t do much right now, but to anticipate what Dongfang Hongyue would face was some preparation at least.
The time distortion might be resolved at any moment. Ideally, Lin Yun and Qian Qian would successfully return to their original timeline, and by then, Lin Yun would have ample time to deal with the change.
If things turned out to be slightly worse and a month or two passed, he would still be able to save Dongfang Hongyue in time.
If he didn’t collect information now, the time distortion would have been a wasted trip.
As for the worst outcome...
Lin Yun didn’t want to think about that because he’d feel powerless then.
Upon entering the Ghost Gate, the number of people suddenly increased, but even among the crowd, Lin Yun spotted Dongfang Hongyue right away. She stood out remarkably. While the other spirits were dazed and listless, floating around like the walking dead, only she walked while observing her surroundings, her expression one of both amazement at suddenly entering a New World and vigilance towards it.
Dongfang Hongyue also felt lost. She still remembered Yuxuan’s teachings, which only discussed how to escape after merging with the Earthly Soul but didn’t mention the door beyond.
Following that call, Dongfang Hongyue passed through the door, and the sudden appearance of many spirits startled her. But she quickly regained her composure, blended into the crowd, and moved on, following the direction in which the other spirits were walking.
"I’m not content, how can I just die like this!"
A figure suddenly cried out beside Dongfang Hongyue. Soon after, it began to radiate endless resentment, attacking nearby spirits. Dongfang Hongyue jumped in fright and hurriedly moved aside.
She could have burned this level of resentful ghost with a single fire, but Dongfang Hongyue, ever cautious, naturally wouldn’t act recklessly.
Another spirit that was bitten by the resentful ghost wailed for a while, it too began to be engulfed in black qi, its eyes turning blood-red.
"Kill, kill all of you!"
At that very moment, amidst the countless flowing spirits, many more suddenly screamed out. Black qi surged from their bodies, and they began attacking and infecting the nearby normal spirits, turning them into corrupted spirits.
In an instant, many of the aimless spirits recovered their senses from fright and scattered in all directions, while the corrupted spirits continued to charge and attack them.
Lin Yun, following beside Dongfang Hongyue, watched, agape.
Is this... the undead version of a biohazard crisis?
The scene was too horrifying, causing Dongfang Hongyue to hide among the group of spirits.
"What’s going on here?"
Lin Yun asked Qian Qian. He was just asking; it didn’t matter if Qian Qian knew or not.
However, Qian Qian ignored him, turning her head away arrogantly.
You think I have to answer you just because you ask, huh, I’m not talking to you!
Qian Qian’s attitude was that obvious, and Lin Yun was taken aback, not knowing when he had offended Qian Qian. Considering they were allies who relied on each other now, Lin Yun inwardly sighed, "Women are so troublesome," and began to coax her.
Women, if they’re disobedient, just coax them, and if that doesn’t work, then you’d have to resort to the rod of education.
Of course, Lin Yun couldn’t use this method on Qian Qian because he simply couldn’t beat her.
"I just discovered an oddity," Lin Yun said, watching Qian Qian, only able to keep Dongfang Hongyue in his peripheral vision.
Coaxing girls is such a hassle.
Although curious, Qian Qian had made up her mind not to pay attention to Lin Yun, pretending not to hear.
Lin Yun continued, "When pigs pout, their upper lip can actually touch their nose."
Qian Qian, upon hearing this, immediately became infuriated and turned around to yell, "You’re the pig!"
She was pouting, and Lin Yun was obviously talking about her.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Lin Yun with his eyes rolled back, his lips struggling apart, and, indeed, his upper lip touched his nose.
This comical expression, combined with his previous statement about pigs’ upper lips touching their noses, made Qian Qian unable to hold back a laugh, which burst out on the spot.
With that laugh, the aloof image she had been cultivating for a long time collapsed once again...
