The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 849 - 355 Qing Nu·Before the Mirror
In the water mirror, Dongfang Hongyue slowly walked into a tomb and then sealed off the entrance.
Is this tomb robbing?
Lin Yun couldn’t help but think, but then he felt it unlikely.
With Dongfang Hongyue’s luck, could she have found a real ancient tomb?
Besides, given Dongfang Hongyue’s current cultivation level, tombs of the predecessors held little significance to her, and considering that Dongfang Hongyue knew tomb robbing would diminish one’s moral standing, and the Dongfang Family already had a deficit in virtue, she surely wouldn’t engage in such an act.
Thinking this, Lin Yun felt uneasy.
Indeed, the tomb that Dongfang Hongyue entered had only one coffin in it, with its lid already opened; there was no corpse inside, suggesting that this was a new tomb.
Just by looking at the scene, Lin Yun understood what Dongfang Hongyue intended to do.
She placed a bamboo slip next to the coffin, then she lay down inside it herself and covered the coffin with the lid.
"Hongyue, are you attempting a breakthrough in cultivation?!"
Lin Yun almost understood Dongfang Hongyue’s thoughts; she must have learned that he had left the Mortal Realm and was now taking a risk in an attempt to break through.
"Let me return to the Mortal Realm, I want to stop her!"
Lin Yun knew well the consequences of Dongfang Hongyue entering the Netherworld; once things began, they couldn’t be undone.
He originally thought Dongfang Hongyue was an obedient wife, but to his surprise, she could also act on a whim.
And why is she impulsive? Lin Yun obviously also understood—she most certainly wanted to do everything within her power to help him. But weren’t there already so many people trying hard? Couldn’t she just stay calm like Jiang Chenyu and be a ’salty fish’?
Lin Yun was aggrieved and wished he could just grab Dongfang Hongyue and spank her right now for her disobedience, but saving her took precedence.
"You want to stop her? Then you should beg me."
Qing Nu said arrogantly, thinking Lin Yun would hesitate or struggle because she understood his personality well.
Seemingly shameless, yet in reality, he had a particularly strong sense of pride. Asking for help from others, it wasn’t that simple...
"Please, Sister Qing, would you help me?"
Qing Nu: "..."
Not even a second of hesitation, what the hell!
Qing Nu’s feelings became instantly complicated.
She certainly knew Lin Yun’s pride, but for that woman, he didn’t hesitate for a second and put his pride aside.
All for that woman!
Suddenly, a flame of jealousy blazed wildly in Qing Nu’s heart.
"No good, I didn’t say that by asking me I would agree to help you."
Qing Nu poured a ladle of cold water over Lin Yun’s head, causing his expression, which had glimpsed a shred of hope, to turn completely stiff.
He clenched his fists and stared at the statue of Qing Nu, suppressing the anger in his heart as much as possible, and asked with a calm tone, "What do you want me to do before you’re willing to help me?"
"Kneel down..."
Suddenly, Qing Nu felt a little scared inside, feeling that if she finished saying these words, Lin Yun might really do so, and their relationship would be completely broken.
Perhaps, even more irreparably broken than it was millions of years ago.
Qing Nu quickly retracted what she was about to say and changed her tune, "Your pleading is pointless, Dongfang Hongyue’s destiny is destined, even I, now, would have to pay a terrible price to fight destiny; I can’t possibly sacrifice so much for someone I despise. You better give up!"
"Then let me return to the Mortal Realm."
Lin Yun looked at the water mirror, feeling more and more that time was of the essence.
"It’s useless, even if you go, you’ll only delay things for a while. At most three years, her Earthly Soul will return, and by that time, she’ll still continue with her fate."
Qing Nu giving such a lengthy explanation was already an exception.
Because Lin Yun’s gaze made her somewhat afraid.
Thinking of this, Qing Nu felt even more wronged.
Lin Yun was aggressive with her for the sake of another woman, and she, to avoid worsening the relationship with Lin Yun, had deigned to make so many concessions and explain so much, yet Lin Yun hadn’t uttered a single word of thanks and certainly still resented her for not offering help.
Was there ever such a frustrated legal wife?
Qing Nu’s heart ached, wishing she really were a stone statue, so she wouldn’t have to deal with Lin Yun.
You can be mad all you want; am I supposed to be scared of you?
I’ll lock you up for ten thousand years!
Although such words might sound tough, Qing Nu wasn’t nearly as unyielding in reality.
Hearing Qing Nu’s words, Lin Yun’s heart sank to the bottom.
Right now, he wasn’t even in the mood to fuss over being played by Qing Nu; he was preoccupied with the fate of Dongfang Hongyue. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Qing Nu said it was destiny’s arrangement, and Lin Yun believed her.
In that erroneous timeline, Lin Yun saw Dongfang Hongyue heading to the Netherworld.
Lin Yun had always wanted to change this outcome, so he went in person to plead with Dongfang Hongyue not to venture into the Netherworld Realm.
Unfortunately, at this crucial moment, he was captured by Qing Nu and taken to the moon.
If he could still make contact with Dongfang Hongyue, she would not have taken such risks.
"I want to go to the Mortal Realm once, please."
Qing Nu: "..."
She really couldn’t stand it.
"Forget it, go ahead. But once you return, I’ll definitely increase your punishment."
Having said that, a pool of water rapidly engulfed Lin Yun, and in the next second, Lin Yun appeared inside the tomb Dongfang Hongyue had prepared for herself.
Noticing the change of scene, Lin Yun was overjoyed—Qing Nu was indeed a good person!
Although she was a bit of a yandere...
Lin Yun didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed about begging Qing Nu.
Begging his own wife, after all, was unavoidable.
Who could stay tough in front of their own wife?
Lin Yun hurriedly went to lift the lid off Dongfang Hongyue’s coffin. At the time, Dongfang Hongyue was just about to let her soul leave her body when Lin Yun arrived, pulling her out of the coffin.
Dongfang Hongyue was dumbfounded.
"Weren’t you captured by a Divine Spirit?"
"She allowed me to go home temporarily to stop my foolish Hong Yue from doing something silly."
Lin Yun hugged Dongfang Hongyue tightly and excitedly said, "Haven’t I told you, don’t try to go to the Netherworld, why didn’t you listen to me?"
Dongfang Hongyue was surprised and delighted by Lin Yun’s appearance, but her expression turned serious when he mentioned the matter.
"Recently, I’ve been having dreams, of another me trapped in a city filled with blood, calling out to me every day to save her. Perhaps, avoiding it serves me no purpose."
Dongfang Hongyue tried to explain to Lin Yun.
She didn’t mean to break their agreement, but she had dimly perceived her own destiny.
This journey to the Netherworld was undoubtedly perilous, but it was a path she must take.
The path of cultivation brooks no retreat.
She just didn’t expect that because of her business, it would bring Lin Yun back once more.
She didn’t know what kind of deal he had made with the Divine Spirit, but he had certainly paid a price to return.
Dongfang Hongyue felt a surge of guilt for having dragged Lin Yun, whose situation was already bad, back into trouble because of her.
"I’m sorry."
"No need to apologize."
Lin Yun pinched Dongfang Hongyue’s earlobe, as every time Dongfang Hongyue liked to pinch him, now it was finally his turn.
Such an intimate gesture made Qing Nu, who was watching from the heavens, grimace.
Did I let you return so you could serve me a platter of dog food?
