The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 831 - 337: Three Days Later, I Will Take Your Life
Lin Yun didn’t distrust his own character; it was precisely because he trusted himself that he felt it was indeed possible for him to do something as despicable as this.
Switching perspectives for a look, sure enough, he’s an utterly irredeemable scumbag.
Qing Nu was already braced for Lin Yun’s excuses, but she didn’t expect his self-assessment to be so on point.
Yet when Lin Yun evaluated himself this way, she somehow found herself disagreeing with him.
"I don’t think what you said is entirely correct, he is a bit excessive, but if it wasn’t for someone seducing him, he wouldn’t have made such a big mistake."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun couldn’t care less that the person Qing Nu referred to might be himself and immediately countered very seriously: "Why do you women always push the blame onto the third party after your husband cheats?
If the man wasn’t wavering in his stance, why would he cheat? So you see, even if there are temptations out there, in the end, it’s the man’s fault. Why should women make it hard for other women?"
Lin Yun spoke with vehement righteousness, leaving Qing Nu at a loss.
"You can’t tell that I’m talking about you?"
Lin Yun wasn’t that foolish, was he? He used to be really clever.
"I know, but even if you’re talking about me, it’s my fault!"
Qing Nu couldn’t help but tilt her head, thinking, what, are you proud of admitting your fault?
But Qing Nu also quickly realized that she had been tricked.
Lin Yun was on the fifth level already, admitting his faults proactively, making it difficult for her to continue blaming him.
How should you criticize someone who has already admitted their wrongdoing?
Persisting in attacking someone who has acknowledged their fault would only make you seem lacking in magnanimity, wouldn’t it?
But to be outwitted by Lin Yun just like that?
Qing Nu felt somewhat unwilling to accept this.
This time, Lin Yun truly felt wronged.
At least in this instance, he wasn’t playing any tricks; these were his genuine thoughts.
Regardless, having a harem is inexcusable; even if Lin Yun himself was supposedly affectionate everywhere, he wouldn’t think everything he did was right.
Wrong is wrong, but his women are rather gentle, and the societal backdrop is more accepting of this behavior, which is also why Lin Yun dared to err.
If his wife got jealous, he would take the scolding and the beating without any complaints.
It’s better than knowingly missing out on a beautiful girl who fancies him and whom he also fancies, ultimately missing each other.
Lin Yun knew he was a man who would stubbornly persist down the wrong path, so he understood Qing Nu targeting him.
Even if Qing Nu slashed him in anger, Lin Yun would accept it.
He wasn’t angry at her because of what she had done to him, but because she said nothing at all.
At least let him be an informed ghost!
Thinking of Qing Nu, Lin Yun’s thoughts were perceived by her in a flash.
This was not an easy feat for Qing Nu now.
Lin Yun’s strength was gradually recovering, and most importantly, the fate of the world was beginning to converge upon him. Knowing Lin Yun’s thoughts as before was no longer realistic.
And in this moment, understanding Lin Yun’s grievances, much of Qing Nu’s accumulated resentment from past days also dissipated.
However, she forgave Lin Yun in her heart, but she wasn’t going to let it show.
"Since you’ve almost guessed you’ve wronged me, did you come here prepared to die?"
Qing Nu prepared to give him a scare; she wanted to see Lin Yun confront death with equanimity, or perhaps, beg her for mercy?
She might agree.
"I’m not prepared yet, but if you’re willing to give me some time, maybe I can be."
Qing Nu: "..."
Is this guy serious?
Qing Nu didn’t know how to get out of the situation for a moment. As she remained silent, Lin Yun continued to ask, "Can you tell me the story between us? You should know that I’ve forgotten everything. At least, I want to know what I’ve done in the past, what mistakes I’ve made, so that I can calmly accept my punishment."
At this point, Lin Yun no longer harbored any thoughts of outmaneuvering Qing Nu.
Although he felt that Qing Nu wouldn’t actually kill him, Lin Yun couldn’t help but say such things when he thought about the questions she had asked earlier.
He had made mistakes, and he was prepared to admit them.
"Do you think that if you die, that can make up for what you did to me?"
Qing Nu’s voice once again became icy cold, and within that coldness was a strong sense of anger.
It wasn’t Lin Yun’s intention to provoke Qing Nu’s emotions, and her anger was beyond his expectations.
He couldn’t quite figure it out—why had Qing Nu become angry when he decided to admit his wrongs and accept punishment?
"If you’re not ready yet, then I’ll give you three days. After three days, I will personally take your life!"
All Lin Yun could hear was Qing Nu’s angry voice echoing in his ears. This time, Lin Yun truly felt Qing Nu’s intent to kill.
This was a first.
In their previous numerous confrontations, Qing Nu’s killing intent was never obvious, and Lin Yun had thought that she didn’t release it while killing.
Now that he thought about it, she actually never had the heart to kill him before.
But now, she was serious.
By the time Lin Yun wanted to salvage the situation, he had already returned to his own body, surrounded by people, each with a worried expression.
Lin Yun, back in his body, didn’t immediately open his eyes. His soul hadn’t fully merged with his body yet, allowing him to observe the others from this perspective.
Thinking that he was to be harvested by Qing Nu in three days, Lin Yun suddenly felt that it might be easier for them to accept everything if he didn’t wake up now.
However, with Divine Spirits present, Lin Yun’s soul returning would be noticed even if there wasn’t an immediate reaction, and now after some time, it was felt.
"Lin Yun, you’re back?"
Qian Qian was the first to notice Lin Yun, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was initially the most relaxed, but because she had jinxed it earlier, she felt a bit scared now.
Great, now in addition to Snow Maiden, she had Lin Yun who could withstand her unlucky words, a cause for celebration.
Hearing the call, Lin Yun realized his previous thought was too rash.
He stopped being distracted and focused on merging with his body, soon opening his eyes and sitting up.
The first to jump into Lin Yun’s arms was Lin Yiyi, who started chattering non-stop as soon as she opened her mouth: "Dad, you’ve finally woken up. If you don’t explain quickly, they’re going to start a fight. Mom is so mean, she actually said she didn’t recognize me!"
Hearing Lin Yiyi complain, Zhen Li, worried Lin Yun might misunderstand, quickly said, "It was her who played tricks first, claiming she was your new little wife."
Lin Yiyi laughed, "And they all believed it too, so you can’t blame me!"
Lin Yun: "..."
He could imagine what the scene must have been like.
Lin Yiyi’s identity as a member of the Demon Race would be like a beacon to the Divine Race, easily sensed.
And after Lin Yiyi had claimed she was Lin Yun’s new love interest, not a single person at the scene doubted her.
They even thought it was very normal. After all, wasn’t Lin Yun undercover in the Demon Race? Wouldn’t it make sense for him to bring back a demon?
Thinking about this, Lin Yun felt somewhat melancholic.
It wasn’t that his wives were too naive, but rather his past exploits had been too frightening.
In the end, it was all his fault.
If he hadn’t flirted around so much in the past, perhaps they wouldn’t all be gathered here now, feeling heartbroken together.
Now with only three days left, Lin Yun felt he couldn’t allocate enough time.
How about, four per day?
