The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 690 - 198: When Dreams End

A sigh sounded, and the scene before Lin Yun’s eyes instantly transformed, the ground beneath his feet turning into water as if he had been standing on water from the beginning.

And now, he was completely submerged by the water.

Lin Yun was accustomed to such a scene.

Just being submerged by water, right?

Being drowned in water in a dream wasn’t a new experience for him; there was no need to panic!

The difference this time was that he didn’t feel suffocated, he simply sank silently.

In the water, he didn’t see anything but a faint shade of green, which was still clearly visible even under the water.

He still didn’t see anyone, only heard that haunting voice near his ear, as if it was also echoing in his heart.

"Chang’e should regret stealing the Spiritual Medicine, with endless nights of grief under the azure sea and sky..."

Lin Yun: "..."

Before I even finished writing the poem, she knew about it, so this has nothing to do with me.

The mournful tone of the woman’s voice sent a chill down his back, and thinking that this place might be the moon, Lin Yun formulated a guess in his heart.

Could it be that Chang’e herself was beneath me?

But this method of using water to drown people was exactly like that of Qing Nu, so Lin Yun also had his doubts whether Qing Nu was below him.

After residing inside Dongfang Yao’s body for a while, Lin Yun came to know that, in this era, Qing Nu was hardly famous.

At least Dongfang Yao had never heard of Qing Nu’s name, but it seemed that he had made an enemy of her later, meaning at least before Dongfang Yao’s death, he would be aware of Qing Nu’s existence.

Su’e had stayed at the bottom of Yellow Wind Valley’s Holy Spring Lake for who knows how long, and the name of Qing Nu was on that stele, although it had been distorted by some force, making it hard to discern; Su’e should have been aware of Qing Nu’s existence.

Lin Yun analyzed the possible entanglements of gratitude and grudges based on the clues he knew, but having never met Qing Nu herself, it was still like looking at flowers in the fog, slightly discernible but not clearly seen.

As he pondered, his body gradually sank to the bottom.

"Clang clang clang..."

Lin Yun heard the clanging sound of chains being pulled and, following the noise, he saw several chains all leading to a consolidated spot bathed in silver-white light, like a condensed moon.

Having come this far, there was naturally no reason not to go and see what it was about, especially since there were no other paths to take.

Following the chains to the end, Lin Yun finally saw what was in the white light.

There was a woman chained to a large pillar, her eyes closed, her wrists bound by chains at each hand, dressed in a green skirt, and below the waist, astonishingly, was a huge snake tail. The snake tail was tightly bound to the stone column by chains every three feet, with only a small section of the tail still moving.

This was none other than the image of Qing Nu!

Lin Yun was stunned on the spot.

He always thought Qing Nu was among the top bosses, seeing how Dongfang Yao boasted after reincarnating, bellowing for Qing Nu to tremble in fear, yet Qing Nu never appeared, and Dongfang Yao met his end at the hand of a mass of water.

The statue of the Thousand Hands and Eye God simply glimpsed at the Statue of Qing Nu and immediately disintegrated.

All of these showed how powerful Qing Nu was.

What is called true swagger!

But such a boss was now chained up.

Indeed, among the strong, there are always stronger ones, and there is always a higher mountain.

Just who could bind her, showing no pity for beauty?

The statue of Qing Nu had existed in Lin Yun’s Dantian for quite a while, but Lin Yun never imagined that one day he would see her in person.

When she was still a statue, Lin Yun did dare to tease her, not fearing death. But now, seeing her enormous snake tail...

Suddenly, he wanted to touch it even more.

Perhaps his blasphemous thought was too intense, for the eyes of Qing Nu, which had been closed all this while, suddenly opened and met Lin Yun’s gaze.

Her eyes seemed to flicker with stars, worlds rising and falling, finally settling into a calm, leaving only profound darkness.

"You have finally come to see me."

Lin Yun: "..."

He felt that Qing Nu’s gaze seemed to transcend time, sighting not his present blood avatar, but himself tens of thousands of years later.

Lin Yun paused for a moment, reading a story from the look in Qing Nu’s eyes.

Indeed, some matters he had never ceased to ponder.

Qing Nu, being a taboo existence whose name was forbidden to be chanted, yet her statue resided in his Qi Sea, tolerating his outrageous actions without any punishment.

Obviously, there must be an affinity between them.

Now, it looked as if the truth was about to be revealed.

Could it be, Qing Nu was an old flame of mine from a previous life?

This could complicate matters.

Lin Yun was not fond of the idea of past-life lovers, although Qing Nu was good-looking and had a great figure, perfect in all ways except for the lack of legs.

But without memories of a past life, what would it mean to get together with Qing Nu?

Would I be cuckolding myself?

"I will come to find you soon."

This sentence was rather bewildering, and as the voice fell, the scene in front of him suddenly froze and shattered like a mirror.

"Wake up quickly!"

Lin Yun heard a loud shout, felt a pain in his head, and instinctively squinted his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Qian Qian’s face magnified before him, startling him into recoiling. It was then that he realized he was stark naked.

"What did you do to me?"

Lin Yun was shocked, although he knew he had tricked a divine spirit and had even tasted the divine spirit flavor. But this wasn’t a reason for Qian Qian to take liberties with him while he was asleep!

Qian Qian had just been joyful for waking Lin Yun when she heard his accusation, her face reddened, and she grew furiously angry, "What are you fantasizing about!"

Her annoyed appearance was half due to real anger and half due to embarrassment.

As a divine spirit, would she need to sneak around to do bad things?

What would happen if she acted openly, who could stop me?

Qian Qian thought arrogantly, snorted coldly, and said, "Little Daoist nun, you explain."

It was then that Lin Yun noticed there was another person in the room, and it was none other than Zhen Li, who was hiding in a corner looking pitiful.

Called by Qian Qian, Zhen Li had no choice but to look up and her eyes met Lin Yun’s, then her face turned crimson and she looked away, unable to speak.

Lin Yun was puzzled; Zhen Li wasn’t this shy before!

She had the courage to confess to him, so she shouldn’t be so timid, should she?

Was it because he was currently nude?

Lin Yun actually felt a bit embarrassed and hastily took out some clothes from the Demon Summoning Well to put on, complaining to Qian Qian as he dressed, "Didn’t you know to turn around when I’m dressing?"

"Hmph, I’ve seen it all during the time you’ve been asleep. It’s ugly, nothing special."

Although she said this, Qian Qian still turned her head away, her ear tips reddening.

The pure goddess pretending to be experienced?

Doesn’t that just make it even more interesting?

Lin Yun couldn’t help but reveal an evil smile and said, "Why did you come over? Did you miss me?"

Hearing Lin Yun and Qian Qian’s flirting, Zhen Li’s eyes widened suddenly.

Why...

Is it only she who can’t?

Darkness filled Zhen Li’s eyes, and she lowered her head, pretending she didn’t exist.

Like an angry cat, Qian Qian furiously retorted, "Who would miss you, you big baddy! I just happened to know you were in trouble and happened to pass by with the kindness to help you, don’t get the wrong idea!"

Lin Yun understood in a second. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Every ’just happened’ was intentional.

He gave Qian Qian a knowing look, and she grew even more embarrassed.

"What are you thinking?"

"I’m thinking, since you just happened to help me, we must really be fated."

"Who is fated with you!"

Qian Qian vehemently denied it, but if she denied their fated connection, wouldn’t that also refute her own claim of ’just happened’? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing as well?

For a moment, Qian Qian found herself in a dilemma with no way out.

All she could do was change the subject and said, "I sensed a pure Sun God Divine Power, so I came to check it out, and then I saw you and that little Daoist nun naked, hugging each other."

Hearing this, Zhen Li was instantly shocked and lifted her head.

How could this goddess be so untrustworthy!

She had clearly agreed to keep silent!

Lin Yun also looked at Zhen Li in surprise, making her so embarrassed she covered her face, almost wanting to flee.

But now she didn’t even dare to run, and could only squat in the corner like a criminal, covering her face, not daring to speak.

Lin Yun, although he had seen much of the world, had never encountered such a situation before.

Was I secretly slept with by Zhen Li?

Where was Hu Yuling?

Come here and take your punishment!

Lin Yun didn’t know how long he had been asleep, nor what had happened afterward, and was now very confused, only asking, "And then?"

"Then I found you had fallen into a dream, and so I cast a spell to awaken you, otherwise who knows how long you would have been asleep!"

Lin Yun: "..."

Well, for that I really must thank you!

Lin Yun had always been aware he was dreaming, but this dream was no ordinary one. He speculated that the dream might be much like his experience in the Canglan Divine Country.

It wasn’t that he had traveled to the past, but rather these events had actually already happened, and due to a fortunate coincidence, they were presented in his dream, allowing him to participate in a more reasonable way.

Because of this idea, Lin Yun had been content to stay in the dream.

Possibly his dream was false and couldn’t affect the real history, but the intelligence he got from it was real.

When Divine Spirits become strong enough, they ascend to godhood; there is a New World beyond this one.

Qing Nu was imprisoned on the moon, and perhaps she has already escaped by now.

Tai Bai looks different from Lin Yu; Yu Jiaolong might be the child of the neighbor, Old Yu.

All this information was very useful. Lin Yun had intended to explore the Outer Realm by himself, even if this half of his being was trapped on the moon; he could still blend in with Dongfang Yao.

He also wanted to find out the true story behind the Twilight of the Gods and how Dongfang Yao went from being a kind-hearted, chuunibyo teenager to a blackened Divine Spirit who would even kill his own daughter.

Who would have thought the dream would suddenly shatter like this, and Qian Qian wore a look that said I’ve saved you, now be thankful.

Lin Yun felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest.

Bashing Qian Qian didn’t seem right, considering she indeed had good intentions.

But, saying thank you...

This rare opportunity had been ruined by Qian Qian, and he was expected to be thankful?

His mindset was totally shattered.

Finally, Lin Yun let out a long sigh.

Perhaps this was fate’s arrangement after all!

It was destined he would only know this much, if only he had known to touch Qing Nu’s snake skin at the start.

Cough cough.

If fate allows us to meet again, I’ll have another chance to touch it; for now, I’ll just touch the figure.

Lin Yun’s consciousness sank into the Dantian, and the Statue of Qing Nu, which had long settled at the bottom, finally surfaced today. Lin Yun was about to touch it when he realized that Qing Nu’s originally closed eyes were... open.
