The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 865 - 371 I Just Slept

Lin Yun’s awakening came just in time, Qing Nu had not yet turned completely to stone.

When he awoke, he was also somewhat puzzled, thinking he was dreaming—otherwise, how could he have suddenly appeared in front of Qing Nu?

Once he realized he wasn’t dreaming, he suspected that Qing Nu might have moved him while he was asleep; this goddess was insincere and petulant, and it wasn’t his first time experiencing it.

It had been a year since their cold war started. During that year, Lin Yun had considered reconciling with Qing Nu, but Qing Nu’s slap had hurt too much, and he had his pride, never finding the right moment.

Now that Qing Nu had taken the first step, he should also show some generosity and take a step towards her, hoping to thaw the ice between them.

With a decision made, Lin Yun quickly began his act.

"Eh, how did I end up here?"

After speaking to himself, he looked towards Qing Nu. Even though he had prepared himself to apologize and admit his faults, it was not easy to start speaking.

How should he lay the groundwork?

After much thought, Lin Yun suddenly blurted out, "Did I once say the same thing to you, but in the end, I didn’t believe you?"

He knew that Qing Nu would definitely understand which words he was referring to.

About trust, that was the root of their cold war.

Qing Nu, still in the midst of turning to stone, strained to open her eyes when she heard Lin Yun awaken.

She just looked at Lin Yun, not saying a word, but her gaze conveyed many emotions.

Her eyes held blame, relief, annoyance, and resignation.

Lin Yun was momentarily dumbfounded—why did Qing Nu suddenly have such a complex internal struggle? Seeing her remain silent, Lin Yun continued to share his thoughts.

"In fact, I’ve been pondering this possibility for a long time. Although you are a bit hot-tempered, if you are angry, there must be a reason. I can only think that it might be something wrong I did in the past without realizing.

If that’s the case, I apologize on behalf of my past self, let’s reconcile!"

Lin Yun’s words were very sincere, but Qing Nu couldn’t help wanting to scold him.

What do you mean by my temper being hot?

Do you not understand what it means to be ’gentle as water’?

My temper is hot because of who!

Can’t you reflect on yourself properly?

A string of angry declarations surged in her heart, but ultimately, Qing Nu suppressed them.

"Since you’ve apologized sincerely, after today, you should go back."

"Huh!?"

What a surprise!

This came too suddenly; Lin Yun was somewhat unable to react.

From death sentence to an indefinite sentence, and then released after a year?

This...

Did I achieve some great feat?

Just because I apologized sincerely?

Regardless, Lin Yun was filled with joy.

However, after the joy, Lin Yun’s emotions quickly settled down.

He looked at Qing Nu and asked, "If I leave, what about you?"

"Of course, I’ll stay on the moon."

"Wouldn’t that be too lonely for you?"

"Go ahead, there’s no need for pretense in front of me, you’ve wanted to leave all along."

Qing Nu felt her Divine Power weakening and didn’t want to show her defeated state in front of Lin Yun. She’d rather say something harsh, it was just going to upset Lin Yun anyway.

This time she could be cooler, she didn’t need to seek out Lin Yun anymore.

"Why do I feel like something is off with you?"

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t spoken to Qing Nu for a long time, or maybe it was intuition, but Lin Yun, rather than getting angry, observed Qing Nu even more carefully when she snapped at him.

Qing Nu sensed that something was amiss and casually used the iron chains that bound her to cover up the tiny cracks on her tail.

"Just go, I can’t be bothered with you."

Qing Nu ended the conversation with a very ordinary tone, slowly closed her eyes, and seemed to completely turn into a motionless statue.

"Hey, are you being haughty again?"

"..."

"We could still be friends if you just talk nicely."

"..."

"Moshi moshi?"

"..."

"You’re really ignoring me now."

Lin Yun’s every word remained unanswered, but at this moment, Qing Nu was not yet in deep slumber.

Watching Lin Yun babble on endlessly in front of her, Qing Nu felt like laughing.

In the end, she softened her heart. She had intended to let Lin Yun endure a million years of solitude, just like her.

But when it truly came time for Lin Yun to endure loneliness on the moon forever, she just couldn’t bring herself to be that harsh.

In the past, Lin Yun had abandoned her.

"You’ve hurt me countless times, yet I can’t bring myself to hurt you at all. Go away, you stinky man, go find your other women, and let me once again sleep eternally in solitude!"

Qing Nu said bitterly in her heart, and although she said so, she also hoped Lin Yun would come down to accompany her. But if Lin Yun truly stayed, she would likely send him away again.

Women are always so complicated.

Lin Yun hadn’t expected that Qing Nu’s farewell was hidden in such a casual phrase; he thought Qing Nu was still just being haughty.

He didn’t care much; he stood up and stretched his limbs, feeling refreshed as if he had just awoken from a deep sleep.

He stretched lazily, then heard a crackling sound in his bones.

"The sun is up; time to absorb the Power of the Sun."

Lin Yun looked at the distant sun, circulating his technique to absorb the Power of the Sun, and soon, he discovered something was off.

"Why do I have so much extra Power of the Sun?"

Lin Yun focused inward and found the Power of the Sun in his body was nearly saturated. He felt as if he was filled with power, enough to shatter a star if it were in front of him.

Since his own strength was nearly saturated, his speed of absorbing the Power of the Sun had also slowed down considerably.

Lin Yun casually activated the Power of the Sun, and with a palm strike, he flattened the small hill Qing Nu had created to make Lin Yun push a rock.

Lin Yun was stunned.

Holy moly, how did he become so powerful?

Had something happened in his dream?

Could it be that Qing Nu, coveting his body, secretly cultivated with him and caused his breakthrough?

Although this speculation was far-fetched, it was the first thing that came to Lin Yun’s mind.

Thinking back to how Qing Nu suddenly let him go without talking to him, Lin Yun felt more and more that it might be possible.

"Do you think I’m a man at your beck and call, just to be dismissed as you wish? I’m not leaving!"

Lin Yun decided to stick it out with Qing Nu. After all, peace reigned in the Mortal Realm, and there shouldn’t be any issues. The biggest boss was right beside him, what was there to fear?

Though the speed of cultivation had slowed, Lin Yun still didn’t want to waste time. He sat cross-legged, focused inward, and decided to try roasting the Yin and Yang Qi with his own fire.

When he looked, Lin Yun was shocked.

Why is there an extra scroll in my Dantian, isn’t that the Earth Scripture?

What on earth happened while I was asleep?
