The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 695 - 203: The Fish Delivering the Message with a Foot of Silk
When a handsome man deliberately makes a lewd gesture, he becomes very comical.
So much so that Yuan Zihe, who was supposed to feel scared at this moment, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
This laugh caused the ropes to rub against her body several times, eliciting from her that mix of pain and pleasure once again.
In this regard, Hu Yuling might be quite familiar.
Seeing Yuan Zihe laugh, Lin Yun couldn’t help feeling a bit angry.
"What, are you actually looking forward to this?"
I am threatening you.
Watching the changes on Lin Yun’s face, although her body’s reaction was still quite embarrassing, Yuan Zihe felt like she had one-upped Lin Yun and said even more triumphantly, "Use whatever tricks you have, I won’t submit!"
Lin Yun: "..."
I’ve figured it out, this one’s just craving my body.
The usual threats that big villains use on female heroes, to Yuan Zihe, seemed to have become a reward.
Well, typical big villains aren’t as handsome as he is.
Seeing that Yuan Zihe seemed to be getting cocky, Lin Yun simply spread his hands and said, "Since you won’t submit, then I’ll just send you on your way. After all, if I kill your brother later, I can unite the world just the same."
It was only when she saw Lin Yun draw his sword that Yuan Zihe suddenly remembered he was not as gentle as he appeared; he was a ruthless man!
When the Thunderclap Sword was only half an inch from her neck, Yuan Zihe hit her limit and cried out for mercy.
"Wait, I agree to it!"
Yuan Zihe watched the tip of the sword with a frightened soul as Lin Yun casually retracted it, letting her finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Yuan Zihe wasn’t afraid of dying; she just had things she hadn’t figured out yet and didn’t want to die without knowing.
As for agreeing to Lin Yun, it was just a pretense. When Lin Yun needed her to write a letter of persuasion, she wouldn’t write a single word.
"I have one condition."
Only after seeing Lin Yun put away the Thunderclap Sword did Yuan Zihe say such a thing.
"Speak," said Lin Yun.
Lin Yun casually took a seat on the bed, and Xiao Qing approached cleverly to start massaging his shoulders.
What’s called a real big boss, huh?
"I want to know how you figured out I am Yuan Zihe."
Yuan Zihe was very puzzled about this point.
Her disguise had always been perfect before, and her persona hadn’t collapsed, so how was it that Lin Yun suddenly attacked and was so sure she was Yuan Zidan’s sister?
If she didn’t clear up this question, Yuan Zihe wouldn’t die with peace of mind.
Lin Yun thought Yuan Zihe would ask for conditions to improve her current situation, or to favor Yuan Zidan, but she asked for this...
Isn’t this something you can figure out with just a bit of thought?
When Lin Yun first met Yuan Zihe, he indeed hadn’t doubted her identity because Yuan Zihe at that time couldn’t pose any threat to him. His guard against her was lowered, plus with Bai Jiaojiao around, he had nothing to fear.
If Lin Yun’s cultivation level had been low back then, he might have been a bit more cautious; but as he grew stronger, he naturally became less suspicious.
He didn’t need to doubt whether a person he could crush anytime would plot against him.
However, when he learned from Wu Xin that Yuan Zidan had instigated the war to retrieve his sister, Lin Yun began to reconsider everyone who had appeared around him and became suspicious of Yuan Zihe.
In this way, Yuan Zihe stood out like a sore thumb.
Yuan Zihe just happened to come from the coast, and moreover, she was attractive, so Lin Yun couldn’t let such a suspicious person slip away.
Just when she appeared sneaky during his fight, Lin Yun conveniently captured her, just to test her, but Lin Yun’s act was too convincing. His previous ferocity towards Green Lotus frightened Yuan Zihe enough to reveal her true self.
At the root of it all, it was nothing more than a guess and a bluff, with no profound mystery.
But Lin Yun didn’t want to explain too clearly and joked instead, "So your name is Yuan Zihe? That’s a really nice name."
The names of this brother and sister pair are quite distinctive, one being ’atomic bomb’, the other ’atomic nucleus’.
Hearing Lin Yun compliment her name, Yuan Zihe couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation and shyly said, "Young Master Lin is making fun of me."
"I never joke around. Generally speaking, enemies that fall into my hands, if they’re men, are mostly dead, and women, hehehe..."
Zhen Li, who was secretly eavesdropping in the corner, hugged herself tight upon hearing Lin Yun’s mischievous laughter.
So Lin Yun is this vicious towards his enemies! If she had known, she wouldn’t have gotten so close to Lin Yun. Perhaps it would’ve been better to have opposed Lin Yun on some trivial matters and then become enemies with him?
Thinking about what Lin Yun might do to her after becoming his enemy, Zhen Li couldn’t help biting her lip.
Ever since her brain got fried by the fire passed on by Lin Yun, Zhen Li felt like she was corrupted.
She was a proper young lady, how could she fantasize about being treated like that by Lin Yun...
Yuan Zihe hearing Lin Yun laugh in that way also felt a chill run down her spine; she was still tied up with ropes, and this feeling of being strung up and bullied made her inner shame and terror grow.
"I’ve already agreed to write the letter of persuasion, can you let me go now?"
Yuan Zihe felt if this kept up, she might break.
"That’s like adding another condition."
"But you didn’t answer my previous question!" protested Yuan Zihe with some grievance.
Lin Yun said confidently, "I didn’t say I would agree to your condition."
Yuan Zihe: "..."
That seems right, too.
Finding herself unable to outtalk Lin Yun, Yuan Zihe grew angrier the more she thought about it.
She had previously planned to take Lin Yun to Haizhou and use him as a hostage to coerce the surrender of his women. To her surprise, before she could act, Lin Yun had kidnapped her first, intending to force her brother to submit.
This could not go on; Yuan Zihe did not want to be a burden to her brother and realized she had to find a way to save herself.
She was a good sister who worried about her brother’s well-being.
"What exactly do you want?"
Yuan Zihe calmed herself down, ready to negotiate with Lin Yun. No matter what he demanded, even if he truly intended her harm, it was not beyond discussion.
"I want your brother to surrender. To be honest, there’s no way he can win. Of the four kings in the battle, three are my men. What does your brother have to fight me with?"
This statement hit Yuan Zihe like a sledgehammer, completely dazing her.
She only knew that Lin Yun had the Calming Sea Pearl, the bane of the Yuan family, and had taken the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but she was unaware that three of the kings were his men.
Her first reaction was disbelief.
"Don’t try to fool me. Those who can become kings are all top-notch fighters with immense pride. Such people would stand tall and unyielding, not wallow beneath others. I might believe you seduced one of them with your charm, but to say all three kings are under your command, that’s impossible. Absolutely impossible!"
Yuan Zihe analyzed the situation solemnly, convinced Lin Yun was lying.
Why would he bluff her?
It must be because he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak!
Although merely a captive at the moment, Yuan Zihe inexplicably felt like she had won.
"Then just wait and see!"
With one strike, Lin Yun cut off a lock of Yuan Zihe’s hair. He then grabbed a white cloth and casually cut her finger.
Not bothering to find ink, he decided to write in blood.
Yuan Zihe winced in pain, believing Lin Yun was infuriated and wanted to torture her.
To show her resolve, Yuan Zihe declared righteously, "I thought you were a hero; now I see you’re nothing of the sort. Use whatever means you wish on me. One day, my brother will avenge me!"
Lin Yun: "..."
Just a small cut on your finger, and you act like a martyr?
Lin Yun couldn’t be bothered to retort. He took her blood and wrote on the white cloth, "As you wish, your sister has fallen into my hands. You have two choices.
First, come alone to Cloud Dream Marsh in three days, submit your surrender, and swear fealty to Great Qin, and you can take your intact sister back. Second, act as if nothing happened, and in four days, you will receive an incomplete sister."
Wrapping Yuan Zihe’s hair in the cloth, Lin Yun pulled Long Xiaoman out of the water.
"Deliver this letter for me, and you’re free. Next time, I promise I won’t catch you."
Lin Yun was not one to enjoy bullying fish; last time was just a coincidence.
However, his encounters with Long Xiaoman weren’t few; he always seemed to catch her when fishing.
This time, he simply decided to set her free and let her do a chore in the process.
"Really?"
Long Xiaoman looked at Lin Yun with joy. She had just realized that Lin Yun might not be such a bad person after all.
"Of course. Deliver the letter to Haizhou, and you’re free."
The outside of the cloth was marked with Yuan Zidan’s name, so Long Xiaoman wouldn’t have trouble finding the recipient.
As long as the letter arrived in Haizhou, Yuan Zidan should see it.
When not pulling boats, Long Xiaoman was quite fast. Lin Yun wouldn’t have to bother sailing to the East Sea.
Why bother delivering a hostage in person when you can have the enemy come to redeem them?
Long Xiaoman swallowed the cloth with a bubble, leaped into the water, and like a red flash of lightning, swiftly swam away.
Lin Yun watched Long Xiaoman depart, suddenly recalling the proverb of sending a fish with a message. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Ah, this...
He hoped the fish would be okay.
Lin Yun clasped his hands together and prayed for a second before he led the boat to shore with the wind.
As the sun once again dipped westward, Lin Yun, reminded of the experience in his dream, suddenly had a bold idea.
What if I try absorbing a breath of Sun God Divine Power?
At this moment, Lin Yun’s desire to increase his strength was the strongest. His enemies were becoming more powerful, and although his own power level was rising rapidly, if he couldn’t break through soon and wasted time, there would eventually come a day when even calling on his wives would not suffice against an adversary.
Therefore, he had to keep working hard.
Of all the cultivation methods he practiced, the most promising was the one Yuxuan had taught him.
Having absorbed Sun God Divine Power within Dongfang Yao’s body before, Lin Yun found it quite mild and understood it rather well.
However, before making a decision, Lin Yun decided to play it safe first.
The sun’s power was difficult to control; perhaps, he should try absorbing the moon’s power, which seemed milder?
The method Yuxuan taught him to attract the power of stars had yet to be seriously practiced by Lin Yun.
If the sun was too dangerous, the moon was softer; surely nothing would go wrong if he started with it.
And the moon was about to rise.
Lin Yun found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and emptied his mind. It wasn’t long before he faintly sensed the moon’s presence and a power completely opposite to that of the Sun God Divine Power.
Is this the Taiyin Divine Power?
I’ll just take a breath...
