The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 848 - 354: The Importance of Clinging to Coattails
Lin Yun always felt that Qing Nu was the most beautiful woman in the world, even surpassing Lin Yu who was once ranked by the Heavenly Book.
Just a stone statue looks this good, what would she look like in person?
Lin Yun suddenly had an intense desire to create, wishing he could take out pen and paper to depict Qing Nu.
As for whether praising Qing Nu’s beauty is a desecration...
Well, just look if she gets angry!
After all, after Lin Yun said all that, Qing Nu had no reaction.
Lin Yun now had a clear course of action, as long as Qing Nu didn’t lose her temper, he would operate as he wished.
At most he would just get toyed with by Qing Nu, could she possibly plot against her own husband?
Previously, when she was full of murderous intent, she didn’t kill him but just took him to the moon for imprisonment and re-education, Lin Yun knew it well.
Although he really wanted to go home, he didn’t harbor much resentment towards Qing Nu.
Of course, there was still something on his mind.
He needed to figure out what exactly happened in the past.
The Earth Scripture didn’t know, Zhen Li didn’t know, only Qing Nu knew, but she just wouldn’t say anything.
If it was like the TV shows Lin Yun had seen before, he would have already berated Qing Nu to death.
Eemmm, now, he didn’t dare to berate her, what if he was the one at fault!
However, he could still make some inferences on the side.
Lin Yun noticed that there were still chains wrapped around Qing Nu, thinking back to what the Earth Scripture said about Qing Nu being sealed by the four gods, and she was still under seal, so this chain was likely one of the methods of sealing.
He wouldn’t dare to touch the chain; what if Qing Nu still had her sanity when sealed, and unsealing her would leave her without sanity, wouldn’t that be suicide for him!
Now he couldn’t find the four gods to reseal Qing Nu again.
"Sister Qing, with your vast divine skills, would you create some trees in the distance? Our home will seem too monotonous if we only have sand and no wood."
The emphasis of this statement was on the four words "our home."
Lin Yun was most adept at gentle influence, and Qing Nu’s mood could be said to be extremely good.
Lin Yun gave her a garland, complimented her beauty, and talked about building "our home," which moved Qing Nu almost to tears.
It was like she was a forsaken wife who, after seeing her husband roam aimlessly for countless years, finally waited for his return—although somewhat resentful, she was more overjoyed.
Happy Qing Nu naturally fulfilled Lin Yun’s request, the range defined by the Great Mist was only a hundred meters square, but now it expanded to five hundred meters.
In the new three hundred meters on the periphery, the trees Lin Yun wanted emerged.
Saplings broke through the soil and in a few breaths, they grew into towering trees, and they were of various kinds.
Qing Nu felt this was not enough, so she opened up a bamboo forest to the south for Lin Yun.
Such is the power of an Innate Divine Spirit possessing creation ability—with just a thought, the barren moon became vibrant with life.
Lin Yun thought about how he used to rely on stone for everything and was full of regret.
If he had known that hiding behind Qing Nu’s skirt was so beneficial, he would have called her sister much earlier!
With so many trees, he wouldn’t need to carry bricks, he could just build a wooden house.
With the wood, Lin Yun could make paper, beds, and with bamboo, he could craft musical instruments.
Isn’t this a leap from the primitive era directly into the civilized one?
Although Lin Yun didn’t know how to make paper, at least charcoal pencils and bamboo slips wouldn’t be a problem.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun’s enthusiasm for work greatly increased.
With a casual wave, he released two streaks of Sword Qi, cutting a few bamboos and fashioned a bamboo axe, which, with the blessing of runes and Lin Yun’s refining flame, turned the ordinary bamboo axe into a Magic Artifact. Lin Yun dragged the axe into the forest, chopping trees with efficiency higher than a high-powered electric chainsaw.
Watching Lin Yun bustling about in the woods, Qing Nu couldn’t help but secretly smile.
Feeling Lin Yun’s cheerfulness, her mood also improved a lot.
But then she abruptly thought of what Qian Qian had said.
It seemed like she unconsciously just did it.
"No, it’s him trying to please me, I’m just in a good mood and helping him out incidentally."
Qing Nu rationalized her actions with theory; if Lin Yun hadn’t tried to ingratiate himself with her, she wouldn’t have helped at all!
However, she definitely wouldn’t forgive Lin Yun easily. Was it just a flower garland and some nice words?
Next time, she certainly wouldn’t be so easy to talk to!
Qing Nu was setting flags for herself, while Lin Yun had already almost finished chopping the trees in the woods, piling them up together.
After being busy for so long, Lin Yun felt he needed a rest and so he came to sit under Qing Nu’s statue.
He held a homemade small carving knife and a piece of wood in his hand, seemingly carving something.
"Humph, thinking I’ll be in a good mood because you’re carving me? The same trick only works on me once!"
Qing Nu thought pridefully, yet she still covertly observed Lin Yun’s carving process.
Soon, Lin Yun had carved out the clothes and figure of the statue; it was still not clear whom he was carving, until Lin Yun began to carve the tail - only then did Qing Nu confirm that Lin Yun was indeed carving her.
"It’s useless. You think this will make me happy?"
A few minutes later, Lin Yun held the completed statue in his hands.
"I apologize for throwing your statue in the Netherworld Realm last time. I’ve carved a new one now, can you forgive me?"
Qing Nu said coldly, "What you’re carving now isn’t the one from before. Some hurts, once inflicted, are not something you can just apologize for and mend."
At this moment, Qing Nu displayed her firm inner resolve.
Don’t think I’m easy to coax!
Lin Yun was silent.
Of course, he knew this was the case, so he could understand why Qing Nu wouldn’t forgive him.
"Sorry."
Lin Yun silently took back the statue of Qing Nu and went back to chopping wood.
Qing Nu saw Lin Yun’s low spirits and began to feel regretful.
Had she been too cold just now? Even if she didn’t forgive him, her tone could have been a bit softer!
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Lin Yun focused solely on building the house and didn’t come to please Qing Nu or play her songs after work.
He had returned to his previous disciplined life, repeating his daily routine of cultivation, rolling the ball, and bricklaying.
Qing Nu, however, felt uneasy every day, wanting to talk to Lin Yun but truly unable to swallow her pride and speak first.
The relationship that had been easing was now back to being rigid, and Qing Nu was very annoyed at herself. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have been so unfriendly.
She needed to find a way to talk to Lin Yun.
Qing Nu had already forgotten the flags she’d set for herself; just a few days without Lin Yun’s attention, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Just then, an incident occurred in the Mortal Realm, involving Lin Yun’s most favored woman at the moment – a good topic for starting a conversation with Lin Yun.
"Aren’t you living quite comfortably here? Don’t you worry about those women you’ve left in the Mortal Realm?"
"They’ll be fine."
Lin Yun expressed his trust in them.
"What about this one?"
Suddenly, a water mirror appeared before Lin Yun, and in the mirror stood a woman in red all over.
"Hong Yue!?"
