The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 833 - 339 Bai Jiaojiao and the Snow Maiden
Bai Jiaojiao discovered her own secret, but Lin Yun wasn’t surprised.
She seemed to be the most careless one, but in reality, she was the most meticulous.
The true simpleton seemed to be only Snow Maiden; the others were all very intelligent, and deceiving them would not be an easy feat.
Lin Yun had never intended to completely fool them; it was somewhat unexpected that Bai Jiaojiao saw through him so quickly.
"You’re not mistaken, I am indeed worried about something."
Lin Yun let out a long sigh and said, "I can tell you about it, but you must keep it a secret."
Seeing Lin Yun taking the matter so seriously, Bai Jiaojiao solemnly replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret."
Lin Yun then continued, "I have a grudge with a Divine Spirit, and I can’t even tell you her name. In any case, she is coming to take me away in three days."
"You... are you not joking?"
Bai Jiaojiao forced a smile, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
But she knew well that Lin Yun never joked about such things.
"Jiao Jiao, accept the reality."
Lin Yun gently stroked Bai Jiaojiao’s hair and tenderly said, "This departure might be the longest separation between us, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back. Maybe when I can cultivate enough to defeat that Divine Spirit, or maybe when one of you reaches that level, or perhaps when the Divine Spirit herself decides to let me return..."
Lin Yun sincerely listed three possibilities, deftly hiding the lie among truths.
In three days, Qing Nu didn’t plan to imprison him, but to kill him.
Yet Lin Yun’s words gave Bai Jiaojiao some hope, albeit faint and distant, but it was still easier to accept than knowing he was going to die.
"Once I become a God, I can defeat her?"
Bai Jiaojiao was just one step away from becoming a God.
But she knew things weren’t that simple. Lin Yu, Snow Maiden, and Qian Qian had all reached the level of Divine Spirits, yet Lin Yun still felt he couldn’t contend with that Divine Spirit, proving that she still had a long way to go.
"When you become a Heavenly Dragon, perhaps you can."
"I’ll try my best, you wait for me to save you."
"I believe you can do it."
Bai Jiaojiao clenched her fist and also showed Lin Yun a smile.
No one is born strong, but some are good at performing.
She had realized that Lin Yun suddenly wanted to be alone with her because there wasn’t much time left, and he wanted to spend more time with her in the end.
But she wasn’t the only one needing companionship; next, Lin Yun might also need to spend time with Snow Maiden and Lin Yu.
There wasn’t much time left for her, so she had to be a bit happier with the time that remained.
"How long do you plan to stay with me?"
"Three hours."
Lin Yun was a bit embarrassed when he said this; so many lovers meant the time for each was reduced. If it were normal cultivation, without experiencing so much, Lin Yun could have at least cultivated for a thousand years of natural life, averaging nearly a century with each of them.
Alas, he had never had a peaceful moment, and it was always more separation than togetherness. Those who fell in love with him in this life were indeed unlucky.
Lin Yun felt guilty, yet he had no regrets.
Bai Jiaojiao, however, beamed and said, "Three hours, huh? Let’s get started then."
She used a Water Spell and, in a very short time, created an ice house in the desert, and then pulled Lin Yun into the house.
Such decisiveness even caught Lin Yun off guard.
Jiao Jiao, aren’t we going to do something else?
The three hours that Lin Yun had planned for only included one hour of exercise, with the other two hours meant for strolling around, playing, and chatting. How nice that would have been.
But Bai Jiaojiao was so proactive that during the three hours, Lin Yun was always in front of or behind her.
True to the True Dragon’s nature, her combat power was off the charts.
Even Lin Yun, with his constant supply of reinforcements, was finding it a bit hard to cope now.
Bai Jiaojiao was very punctual; once the time was up, she promptly delivered Lin Yun to Cloud Dream Marsh and left crisply herself.
Upon arriving at Cloud Dream Marsh, Lin Yun felt somewhat dazed.
Bai Jiaojiao had just left like that.
From the way she looked at him when she left, Lin Yun understood that she probably wouldn’t show up again for the next three days.
Was it because she believed that they were bound to meet again, that she didn’t say goodbye when they parted? Or was it just to comfort herself?
Lin Yun’s heart was filled with a mix of emotions, but they were quickly washed away by the naive Snow Maiden.
Sensing Lin Yun’s arrival, the Snow Maiden happily ran over and hugged him.
"Ah Yun, did you come especially to see me?" she asked.
Lin Yun nodded and smiled: "Of course."
"You’re so nice, Ah Yun."
The Snow Maiden clung to Lin Yun’s arm, rubbing against him affectionately, her face full of attachment. Before Lin Yun could mention the purpose of his visit, she chattered away, "I’ve been so tired these past few days, trying to freeze the water under the dam was too difficult. But luckily, I was clever and made a cover to keep the rainwater out. Don’t you think I’m smart?"
The Snow Maiden pointed to the Ice Crystal Cover above the dam, looking quite proud.
In his mind, Lin Yun criticized, isn’t this something anyone with a brain could think of?
If you can’t freeze the water below, and you want to prevent the water from spilling out, you just need to block the rainwater from getting in.
Making a cover is just standard procedure, isn’t it?
But despite his inner criticism, Lin Yun exclaimed with a face full of amazement, "Ah jie, you’re really smart; I probably wouldn’t have thought of such a great idea."
Lin Yun knew the Snow Maiden liked it best when he called her "Ah jie," but ever since their relationship was confirmed, he always called her Xue Er in front of others.
Now, in their private moments, Lin Yun simply switched back to the old nickname to make her happy.
The Snow Maiden’s smile grew even sweeter, but she said, "Ah Yun, stop flattering me. You’re so clever, you can always think of a way to break through any situation. This little thing surely wouldn’t stump you!"
The Snow Maiden felt she had become smarter, but she was definitely not as smart as Lin Yun.
She wouldn’t be easily deceived by Lin Yun!
Although his words did indeed make her happy.
Seeing the Snow Maiden’s admiration, Lin Yun felt somewhat conflicted.
In the Snow Maiden’s eyes, his wisdom could solve any problem.
And up until then, it seemed to be the case.
No matter how many difficulties Lin Yun faced, he always used his intelligence and his unique way of charming girls to get through crisis after crisis, solving one problem after another.
However, there’s often a limit to what human intelligence can achieve.
And using wisdom to solve problems often comes with great uncertainty.
Like this time, if Lin Yun had the power to converse with Qing Nu, rather than just a bit of cleverness, the situation would have been entirely different.
Because he lacked power, he had to rely on intelligence.
The approach he took wasn’t necessarily wrong, but Qing Nu’s thinking was unusual, and this time, Lin Yun’s cleverness led to his own mistake...
