The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 734 - 242 I Want You to Submit to Me

Tai Bai was furious, but she indeed had difficulty making a move against Lin Yun.

If she did, wouldn’t it just confirm the fact that she resorted to force because she couldn’t outtalk him?

But still angry, what to do?

Thinking about herself, as a Divine Spirit, actually being led by the nose by a mortal, Tai Bai felt stifled in her heart.

However, upon looking at Lin Yun again, her respect for him grew somewhat.

This man really did have some ability.

At first, she didn’t take Lin Yun seriously at all; if not for Canglan’s existence, she had planned to crush Lin Yun with a direct attack, giving him no chance to make a move on her turf.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yun managed to survive by seemingly aggressive and reckless words which in truth were tactically like Facing Death to Survive.

The two of them were enemies, after all, and without an absolutely necessary reason, he couldn’t possibly leave this place alive.

Tai Bai focused her thoughts and in a very short period of time had sorted out Lin Yun’s several maneuvers.

She had to admit that Lin Yun had, each time, managed to stir her emotions just right, daring to play such schemes in front of her and succeeding; Tai Bai didn’t mind giving him a chance to speak.

"You needn’t provoke me further with words, tell me your thoughts on collaboration!"

Tai Bai no longer talked about the previous argument, forcibly skipping the topic, and Lin Yun too knew when to stop, aware that Tai Bai was conceding and not continuing to press the issue.

If he really did that, of course, Tai Bai would lose face, but angering a female tiger, he might truly end up neither able to live nor die.

He was here to win over Tai Bai, not to seek death.

Thinking about it, the previous exchange should have earned him a bit more of Tai Bai’s attention; the favorability might have increased slightly, now was not the time to rush.

Tai Bai thought Lin Yun came seeking cooperation, how could she guess that Lin Yun was so daring, actually targeting her.

Cooperation was merely a pretext to get close to Tai Bai.

Even so, Lin Yun had still made thorough preparations.

Before coming here, Lin Yun had set three goals for himself. The biggest goal was to capture Tai Bai; the secondary goal, to establish friendly relations with Tai Bai; the most basic objective, to reach a strategic cooperation.

Now that he had achieved the basic objective, it was time to consider advancing.

Lin Yun knew in his heart that for a goddess like Tai Bai, fawning would definitely not work, nor could he play the role of a ’little puppy’ as he did with Fang Yu; Tai Bai had always been above it all, willing to show compassion to all beings, but that was a compassionate gaze from on high.

To win her favor, he could only conquer her assertively.

"Since we’re talking about cooperation, Your Excellency might as well listen to a few more words from me."

Tai Bai nodded slightly, not noticing that Lin Yun had changed the form of address to something less respectful during their previous debate.

It started with calling her Your Majesty, then Your Excellency, followed by you, and now back to Your Excellency; Tai Bai didn’t feel there was anything amiss either.

The way to conquest lies in subtlety and silence.

"We stand opposed, but we also share a common enemy."

Tai Bai did not deny this. Lin Yun originally wanted to directly name the enemy, but after meeting Tai Bai, he realized that his assumption might have been wrong.

He thought Tai Bai would be aware of Qing Nu, hating her as Dongfang Yao did, but Qing Nu was in Lin Yun’s belly; naturally, he dared not speak outright about confronting Qing Nu.

It turned out that Tai Bai’s hatred for Heavenly Dao seemed even greater, her thoughts fixated on defying Heaven.

So Lin Yun did not spell it out directly, but referred to it as a common enemy instead.

Tai Bai was quite satisfied with this term and once again raised her evaluation of Lin Yun.

For them to act against Heaven, even within her Divine Country, speaking too plainly would still attract the attention of Heavenly Dao.

This guy, not to mention his strength, at the very least from the perspective of caution, he was definitely not a pig-headed ally.

"The strength of our enemy is formidable, we must reduce the losses from infighting and support each other to defeat it," Lin Yun declared serenely.

Tai Bai, upon hearing this, responded indifferently, "What you’ve said, I agree with. However, I can help you, but what can you do for me in return?"

His words were not much different from what he had said at the beginning, but while Tai Bai had been scornful then, he was now seriously inquiring.

Lin Yun replied frankly, "At the moment, I’m not in a position to help you, but if you can assist me inbecoming powerful, I can naturally offer you something in return. That is the essence of support."

If it were not for the fact that his blood could not be used, Lin Yun would have offered it in the deal.

Ever since his blood had undergone a strange transformation, Lin Yun dared not bleed himself carelessly.

Although he was covered in blood at the moment, he had already forcibly separated his essence blood from the ordinary blood in his body.

He had anticipated that Tai Bai would certainly injure him at some point, fearing that his blood might reveal something, so he had made preparations in advance.

If Tai Bai got hold of his blood and discovered something unusual, Lin Yun might lose control of the situation, and thus he had no choice but to be shameless.

Tai Bai was at a loss for words for a long time and quite speechless.

Someone actually dared to boast in front of her, intending to make a profit without investing anything?

Although what Lin Yun said was indeed quite sensible.

Lin Yun’s current strength was negligible, and the help he could offer to a Divine Spirit was limited, but once he grew stronger, as one favored by the Heavenly Mandate and so astute, offering her a bit of help would not be difficult.

But what if Lin Yun turned his back on her? Would she not be aiding the enemy?

Tai Bai, reflecting on how she had always been led by the nose by Lin Yun, felt indignant and wanted to teach him a lesson.

"I accept your proposal, but on one condition: you must submit to me," Tai Bai stated with an air of authority. She wasn’t afraid that Lin Yun would rebel against her once she helped him grow stronger, as she was confident in her ability to suppress any such attempt. But why should she offer Lin Yun benefits for nothing in return?

Having him submit was the best way.

So full of pride, aren’t you? You look down on me even when I harm you, and now I demand your submission. What will you choose?

Tai Bai stared at Lin Yun, exerting pressure with her gaze, very much with the stance that if he didn’t submit, he would die.

Qian Qian, who was beside him, became anxious again. Lin Yun always appeared unrestrained, but in reality, he was quite proud. Could he agree to Tai Bai’s terms?

Of course, he could.

Lin Yun had always been rebellious, so what was submission? It wasn’t a big deal!

But now, Lin Yun was no longer as undignified as before. Even if he were to yield, he would do so under the guise of grandeur.

"For the sake of the common people of the world, what difficulty is there in submitting to you?" Lin Yun proclaimed.

Tai Bai: "..."

Just like that, he agreed. It was so unsatisfying.

Moreover, Lin Yun was blatantly indicating that even if he submitted, it was only lip service and not genuine submission.

As a Divine Emperor, she couldn’t make Lin Yun submit through her own charm and strength, only through coercion. How embarrassing would that be if word got out?

Determined, Tai Bai decided to confront Lin Yun head-on this time, insisting that he truly admit defeat.

A mere Mortal, his arrogance reaching the skies, did he really think she couldn’t handle him?

"Since you have agreed, then I will grant you an opportunity," Tai Bai said, making a cutting gesture in the air, and a gate of light appeared in front of Lin Yun.

"Beyond lies the Cleansing Sword Pool. If you wish to become stronger, step inside! But I must warn you, for a Mortal’s body like yours, it is akin to purgatory!"
