The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 155: Oh Sea, You Are All Water (18th Update)
Zhao Lingyu once again felt the urge to hit someone, coincidentally, the last person she wanted to hit was also Lin Yun.
But the more angry she became, the more Zhao Lingyu couldn’t help but laugh.
"You’re right, there’s nothing wrong with getting married, but I hope I can marry a peerless hero."
Zhao Lingyu looked at Lin Yun, her eyes filled with insinuation.
Lin Yun said emotionlessly, "The wives of heroes often die young."
Zhao Lingyu: "..."
If she weren’t unable to swear, Zhao Lingyu really would have spewed some colorful language.
In the end, she was so angry that after glaring at Lin Yun for a while, she abruptly grabbed his hand and bit it.
After biting him, she ran off, leaving Lin Yun to wipe the saliva off his hand with a look of disgust.
In all fairness, the Green Tea Princess wasn’t so irritating when she wasn’t acting like a green tea.
Zhao Lingyu, puffed up with anger, went to rest against Big Red, while Lin Yun took another look at Lin Yu, feeling that she still seemed a little cold in the chilly wind.
Maybe go add some more firewood for her!
Zhao Lingyu thought Lin Yun was very comforting, but in reality, he wasn’t.
He was good at irritating people, and when it came to consolation, he knew he couldn’t bear the pain for others, so soothing words, in fact, had little meaning.
He wasn’t ignorant of those principles, but people need to walk out of their sorrow on their own. Lin Yu was already an adult; she didn’t need Lin Yun to teach her that.
Lin Yun just needed to take care of her, to ensure she wouldn’t catch a cold.
The body of a mortal is hard to cure once it catches a cold.
Watching Lin Yu and Wang Wanqiu, Lin Yun inevitably had some distracting thoughts arise in his heart.
He asked himself, in cultivating immortality and seeking the Way, what is considered correct?
Having attachments definitely makes it difficult to transcend beyond them.
Just like Ming Xin, who chose to endure years of suffering for revenge on behalf of his disciple, Wang Wanqiu was willing to face death for her master, while Lin Yu herself was enduring the pain of losing her loved ones.
What about Lin Yun himself? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
He felt that if there ever came a day when Dongfang Hongyue was murdered, he likely wouldn’t stop at merely killing the chief culprit like Ming Xin did.
In this light, having attachments is indeed not beneficial to one’s own cultivation.
Since you care about someone, you suddenly have a weakness.
Moreover, the path of cultivation is different for each person. If one day Dongfang Hongyue breaks through first, or he himself breaks through and ascends to immortality, they would be eternally separated as deities and mortals, or even more extreme...
This world itself is quite problematic, if it turns out that in the end, only one person can ascend and the other must remain in the mortal realm, then what should he choose...
"Indeed, women only affect one’s cultivation!"
Lin Yun sighed to himself. The situation hadn’t happened yet, and he didn’t know what he would choose when the time came, but the fact that he was starting to hesitate now meant that his determination in the Way wasn’t very firm.
Although not firm, Lin Yun felt like he finally understood what Fang Yu meant that day about what the Way truly is.
Any choice you make is the right one, only hesitant indecision is certainly wrong.
Is this what Heart Guarding means?
Lin Yun faintly felt that if he continued to ponder this, it seemed that he was about to have a breakthrough again.
Goodness, my Divine Soul hasn’t even fused yet, how can I be on the verge of a Heart Guarding breakthrough already, a realm per day, seriously?
Lin Yun immediately stopped wandering thoughts, feeling that breaking through his realm in such a manner wasn’t good.
At this time, he suddenly remembered a poem that appeared at the Moon God Ruins that day.
Chang’e must regret stealing the elixir, in the endless blue sea under the vast sky, her heart longs night after night.
"Forget it, I can’t think anymore, it’s too complicated, my brain can’t handle it."
Lin Yun forcefully halted his own thoughts. At this moment, only Divine Cultivation could calm and focus his mind.
Flower Fairy: "It seems you arrived a bit later today..."
In the blink of an eye, a whole night had passed.
The next day, before the sun had even risen, Big Red had rested enough, and everyone set out eastward again.
By noon, Big Red finally reached the vicinity of the East Sea.
The coastal area was underdeveloped, with only a few small cities and mostly loose fishing villages, which were essentially within the control of the Green Lotus Sect and the White Lotus Sect.
Since it was quite poor, the major sects of the Righteous Path hardly bothered to come here.
This was quite contrary to Lin Yun’s common sense.
Generally speaking, one should take advantage of the local resources, and with such a vast sea, it made no sense for the area to be impoverished. However, Lin Yun refrained from making any rash judgments, as there might be reasons beyond his knowledge.
This was Lin Yun’s first time seeing the sea, and as he sat on Big Red’s back, gazing at the boundless expanse of water, he felt a thrill and wanted to shout out loud.
In such a moment, a poem should be composed.
Ah, great sea, you are all water!
The salty sea breeze wafted over, and even though it was Lin Yun’s first glimpse of the sea and he was quite excited, there were two coffin carriers with him, so he felt it wasn’t appropriate to show his enthusiasm.
If he wanted to have fun, he could always come back next time.
"What is that?"
From a distance, a white object floated near the shore, resembling a tiny island.
Hu Yuling, with her Divine Sense reaching the furthest, saw clearly that it was a huge dead sea creature, belly-up.
Just as she was about to respond, she heard Lin Yun say, "That’s a dead whale!"
Hu Yuling promptly shut her mouth.
Isn’t that the Green-eyed White-scaled Beast?
But seeing how certain Lin Yun appeared, Hu Yuling’s confidence wavered, thankful that she hadn’t spoken. It would have been so embarrassing if she had got it wrong.
"What kind of fish is a whale?"
Zhao Lingyu was very curious; she had never tasted this fish before!
Wang Wanqiu also expressed her confusion, "Isn’t that the Green-eyed White-scaled Beast? With green eyes and white scales, it’s a giant sea monster!"
Lin Yun: "..."
Upon hearing Zhao Lingyu’s puzzled question, Lin Yun realized something was amiss.
Darn it, he had been too excited at the sight of a whale, especially a dead one.
There were legends of phenomena occurring after a whale’s death, so he had been excited, thinking he saw a whale, while in fact, he hadn’t observed more details and had never actually seen a whale.
Such a massive carcass brought only the thought of a whale to mind, but this was a different world!
I have lost my wits.
"Eh, a whale is just an especially large kind of fish. I think I got it wrong."
"I haven’t eaten this fish before; I’d like to try it if I get the chance."
Zhao Lingyu didn’t press further; it was just a minor matter after all.
But Hu Yuling took note of the incident, simply remarking without any change in expression, "This Green-eyed White-scaled Beast is also a dominator of the sea, how could it die here?"
"I’ll go take a look."
Wang Wanqiu volunteered, flying over on her sword.
At first, Lin Yun had not fully grasped the enormity of the corpse; it seemed no bigger than a sand dredger from a distance.
But as Wang Wanqiu flew towards it, she gradually became a speck.
That was hasty, a whale isn’t this big, right...?
It wasn’t long after Wang Wanqiu had flown over when there was a loud bang, as if something had exploded, and then a surge of waves started rolling towards the shore.
Hu Yuling quickly unleashed her Immortal Sword and stood in front of it; the massive wave split and passed around them.
Yet, an idiom surfaced in Lin Yun’s mind.
Isn’t this just "a whale of a blast"?
