The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 775 - 281 Crying of the Storm

Lin Yun, when thinking about contacting Wu Xin and Hu Yuling, suddenly realized that both of his maidservants had lost contact at the same time.

The Blood Curse’s connection only breaks during crossing between realms, but now that he was back, why was he unable to contact them?

Could it be that Wu Xin really opened the Four Spirits Barrier?

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Lin Yun’s heart.

Although the invasion of the Demon Realm was an anticipated major event, it happening just at this critical juncture still spelled trouble.

After some thought, Lin Yun still decided to look for them.

They had parted ways on Snow Mountain, and considering their lack of strength, Lin Yun did not take them with him, leaving them to watch over the captive Yuan Zihe instead.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter if the captive was gone, since Yuan Zidan couldn’t stir up trouble on his own.

Their journey to the Netherworld hadn’t taken much time; Wu Xin and Hu Yuling should not have strayed far from Snow Mountain.

"I want to go up the mountain to check. My two subordinates have disappeared, and there might be some clues left on the mountain."

"I’ll go with you."

Snow Maiden wanted to take the opportunity to stick with Lin Yun a bit longer. As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Qian Qian, as if to implicitly suggest, "Don’t follow us!"

Qian Qian was originally a bit shy; Lin Yun had kissed her for quite a while earlier, and Snow Maiden knew nothing about it!

Qian Qian felt a mysterious thrill, seeing Snow Maiden’s expression filled with provocation.

You think you can keep what’s yours!

However, Qian Qian ultimately felt too embarrassed to openly compete with Snow Maiden. For a goddess to start fighting over a man with another goddess, pulling hair and tearing clothes, would be too undignified.

This time, I’ll let you have your way.

"You two go ahead, I’ll scout the nearby area."

Qian Qian’s compromise pleased Snow Maiden greatly; at least this person was sensible enough, maybe they could become companions in the future.

Snow Maiden really didn’t want to enter into a fight with Qian Qian now.

Currently, her and Qian Qian’s strength were arguably the strongest. Among Lin Yun’s women, the only one who might be able to compete with her was Qian Qian, also a Divine Spirit.

But why should the two of them fight to the death?

"When snipe and clam grapple, it’s the fisherman who profits." She had no intention of letting the likes of Dongfang Hongyue take advantage. The best option was to put a temporary halt to her rivalry with Qian Qian.

Now it seemed Qian Qian understood her, and maintaining such an understanding was just right.

It had to be said, Snow Maiden had matured quite a bit.

Lin Yun noticed the small details between them but did not intervene; as long as the overall situation was not chaotic, Lin Yun generally did not fuss over minor issues. He nodded to Qian Qian and then took Snow Maiden by the hand and started up the mountain.

His mind was troubled by the matter of the Four Spirits Barrier this time, and he proceeded with great haste.

If he had been more at ease, enjoying the snowy scenery with Snow Maiden and getting some exercise on Snow Mountain, could have been quite an interesting experience.

Unfortunately, the two hurried up the mountain and, before they could do anything, found Yuan Zihe frozen in place.

The place where they found Yuan Zihe was exactly where they had parted, unchanged.

Poor Yuan Zihe was now frozen through.

With Wu Xin and Hu Yuling missing, Lin Yun’s heart sank further.

If nothing untoward had happened, they would never have abandoned Yuan Zihe.

Lin Yun’s order had been to take good care of Yuan Zihe and bring her back, not to kill her. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Moreover, looking at the ice that sealed her, it seemed to be deliberately done by someone. Lin Yun could sense that Yuan Zihe was still alive, and while she was frozen, her life was not in danger.

This was different from what Lin Yun had seen before; previously, Yuan Zihe nearly froze to death here, and there had been no ice seal then.

This scene immediately led Lin Yun to speculate that something urgent must have occurred, preventing them from taking Yuan Zihe down the mountain in time, or even from leaving more information.

Lin Yun also had a measure of loyalty in his heart for Hu Yuling and Wu Xin.

Hu Yuling had been well-trained and had already taken on his shape; she would definitely not betray him.

As for Wu Xin, the little proud tsundere, even if she wanted to seek freedom, she probably wouldn’t stand with those who opposed him.

Though Lin Yun was prone to suspicion, he did not like to doubt his own people.

Hu Yuling and Wu Xin must have been forced to leave, not left of their own volition!

"Xue’er, hurry and thaw her out, she might know something."

"Oh."

The Snow Maiden, belatedly realizing what was happening, stretched out her finger to touch the ice encasing Yuan Zihe. The ice and snow melted instantly, freeing Yuan Zihe from the confines of the ice block.

This was the Divine Spirit’s manipulation of the powers of nature, playing with ice, the Snow Maiden was already mesmerizingly skilled.

If Lin Yun were tasked with thawing the ice, he’d probably need a big pot to cook Yuan Zihe, and who knows, by the time the ice melted, the person might be overcooked; he couldn’t possibly achieve the Snow Maiden’s instant thawing.

Emerging from the ice block, Yuan Zihe regained consciousness. Seeing Lin Yun, she threw herself into his arms like seeing a family member and burst into sobs.

Lin Yun hadn’t expected her to be so emotional, and for a moment, he felt too embarrassed to push her away.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

Yuan Zihe cried tremulously, and Lin Yun, no devil, couldn’t help but comfort her upon seeing her so heartbroken: "There, there, don’t be sad. Tell me what’s wrong."

His simple words provided Yuan Zihe the greatest warmth.

It was also because she had been frozen so miserably these past days, only Lin Yun’s embrace could offer her a bit of warmth.

She couldn’t even speak, just crying her heart out. The more Lin Yun consoled, the sadder she cried; at that moment, she had completely forgotten that Lin Yun was the enemy, the cause of her dire straits.

None of that mattered anymore because every time she was close to freezing to death, it was Lin Yun who came to her rescue.

"No more crying, no more crying..."

Lin Yun gently patted Yuan Zihe’s back, as the Snow Maiden’s face darkened beside them.

How dare he... right before me...

However, that was always Lin Yun’s way — kind and warm-hearted. So, his actions weren’t exactly wrong.

So, it wasn’t Lin Yun that was wrong, it was this woman!

Shameless, to throw herself at another person’s man!

Under the chilling gaze of the Divine Spirit that controlled ice and snow, Yuan Zihe also suddenly felt a wave of chill, and her agitated emotions finally calmed a bit.

The stormy crying quieted down as well.

"What happened? Why were you left alone on the mountain?"

Since Wu Xin and Hu Yuling had left no information, perhaps Yuan Zihe was the living message.

Of course, that depended on whether Lin Yun remembered to come back and check; otherwise, Yuan Zihe would have probably frozen to death on the mountain in a few more days.

"The sky tore open..."

Yuan Zihe, trembling, described the scene she had witnessed that day.

"A massive black cloud appeared in the north, sweeping over ominously. I don’t know what happened, but they all disappeared, and only I was left icebound on the mountain, with nothing around..."
