Chapter 490: Chapter 479: The Big Winner
The situation became more complicated with the appearance of Fang Yu.
Originally, Lin Yun was surrounded by affection from both sides. Now, with the addition of Fang Yu, there was no more room...
Fang Yu just quietly observed the three of them; Dongfang Hongyue didn’t let go, so naturally, Lin Yu wasn’t going to either.
As for Lin Yun...
He might have liked to, but did he dare to take the initiative to let go?
Perhaps this is what it means when Divine Skills are no match for fate; if the heavens want to destroy me, it’s a misfortune I cannot fight against.
Seeing Fang Yu appear, neither Lin Yu nor Dongfang Hongyue panicked; in fact, Lin Yu felt a sense of relief.
Fang Yu had treated her well. Although she hadn’t done anything to betray the Shenxiao Sect or to let Fang Yu down so far, the fact remained that she had been secretly collaborating with people from the Demon Sect behind her back. No matter how it was spun, this was the incontrovertible truth.
If she could clear things up with Fang Yu sooner rather than later, that wouldn’t be bad at all. This was a good opportunity.
"I can tell you anything you want to know," Lin Yu said frankly.
"I want to know when you guys started," Fang Yu asked, a question Lin Yu had anticipated. She answered seriously, "It was after the battle at Mountain and Sea Pass."
Lin Yu was referring to her cooperative relationship with Dongfang Hongyue, which dated back to the time at the Mountain and Sea Pass. It was then that she became aware of Lin Yun’s relationships with Dongfang Hongyue and Flower Fairy. Hearing this, Fang Yu was greatly relieved.
She had been captured beneath the Mountain and Sea Pass and had an intimate encounter with Lin Yun in Snow Maiden’s tent. Although they hadn’t defined their relationship at that time, the sentiment of mutual affection was clearly understood by both.
So, she was first!
She only regretted that she was too reserved back then and constrained by her status as a master, which stopped her from making things clear with Lin Yun.
Unlike Lin Yu, even if it was a misunderstanding, you and Lin Yun shouldn’t...
At least it wouldn’t be appropriate.
As for Dongfang Hongyue, Fang Yu had pretty much grasped the situation; she must have been the earliest one.
"I’m quite surprised; one of you is a genius of the Righteous Path, and the other is the leader of the Demon Sect. How come you both are willing to pledge yourselves to one man?" she began. Fang Yu initiated the confrontation, skewering both women at once. Dongfang Hongyue smiled slightly and retorted, "That being said, now that you know Lin Yun has so many other confidantes, are you going to leave him?"
At this point, Fang Yu still didn’t understand what Dongfang Hongyue meant by "so many."
She thought it was just the two present, plus Snow Maiden. Flower Fairy wasn’t even considered by Fang Yu.
They all said they were sworn siblings, and since Flower Fairy had vanished without a trace and was currently out of the picture, she was not a concern.
Caught off guard by Dongfang Hongyue’s jab, Fang Yu couldn’t help but widen her eyes, her breathing quickened, and her chest heaved more noticeably.
"Lin Yun and I are connected by our hearts; we won’t allow outsiders to cause misunderstandings between us," Fang Yu said.
Talking about being connected by heart handed Fang Yu a touch of shyness, but considering she and Lin Yun had been honest with each other, she refused to seem less forceful in front of the other women.
At this moment, Lin Yun felt tingles in his scalp.
He no longer had any room to maneuver and watched helplessly as Fang Yu took the lead.
Indeed, Dongfang Hongyue was not pleased with the term "outsider," and with a twist of her mouth, she said, "You’re right, outsiders don’t need to know why we chose to stand with Lin Yun through thick and thin."
Lin Yun: "..."
He felt as if he were steering a love boat across the sea. As a man who aimed to be a king of the sea, his boat had inadvertently gained a few extra passengers, and now these passengers were about to come to blows.
The ship of love could capsize at any moment!
Dongfang Hongyue’s retort to Fang Yu was indeed timely, for she knew the least, while Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue obviously knew far more about Lin Yun.
Fang Yu couldn’t help but turn her gaze to Lin Yun, giving him a look of grievance.
Lin Yun: "..."
It was you who started the fight, and now after getting beat up, you come to me acting pitiful!
But then again, who could resist a master with an aggrieved expression?
Especially when this usually aloof master shows her soft and cute side, it’s like a sharp sword piercing right into Lin Yun’s heart.
Ah, I’m dead.
How can she be so adorable?
However...
At this point, Lin Yun himself was like a clay bodhisattva barely able to cross the river; ever since Fang Yu appeared, Lin Yun had been doing his best to lower his own profile.
He didn’t even dare to let out a breath, for fear of being discovered by others.
But now, with the three women’s chaotic battle raging, he was at the very center of the storm. How could he possibly escape?
When Fang Yu acted pitiful, Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu also synchronously latched onto Lin Yun’s arms, clinging even tighter, their soft, fragrant bodies pressing against him. Lin Yun, however, only felt a chill down his spine—they were all hiding knives behind their backs...
All this was his fault for bringing in the variable Fang Yu, which had drawn a wave of hatred. Oh boy, and now Fang Yu had unexpectedly showed up.
Isn’t that just kicking me when I’m down?
Lin Yun couldn’t let Fang Yu be disappointed, nor could he make Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue sad. At this time, avoiding the situation was pointless.
Under extreme crisis, Lin Yun instead relaxed.
What’s there to fear, at worst, it’s just a thrashing. I must face death to survive, that’s the way of the wanderer.
"I think you don’t need to discuss who is an outsider. In my eyes, you’re all my people."
With one hand holding Lin Yu and the other Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yun walked up to Fang Yu. Having no hands left, he leaned his head on Fang Yu’s shoulder, pretending he was hugging her.
Holding hands with two girls while embracing another, can such a move even exist?
Following Lin Yun’s scent, Snowstep arrived completely baffled.
What’s all this, there’s more?
The sound of Snowstep’s trotting hooves even disturbed the three women dazzled by Lin Yun’s moves, and as though they were in sync, they all hummed at the same time. Lin Yun thought he would be pushed away by all three, but to his surprise, Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue each held onto one of his hands, and Fang Yu embraced his waist.
The three of them were all waiting for the other two to let go, each also worried that if they let go, someone else would take advantage.
And so, it turned into three people scrambling for one.
This is Lin Yun divided into thirds.
However, Fang Yu was still directly in front, and she did have some advantage. Embracing Lin Yun also allowed him to feel her exceptional qualities.
By comparison, although Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue were both holding his arms and could have had a better feel, the difference was too great, and they ended up losing out.
Snowstep was shocked once again.
But this time, it did not dare to run away, simply watching the drama from the sidelines.
Dongfang Hongyue, always the steady one, suggested to Lin Yun, "Blindfold your horse, and don’t let it see too much."
The horse was, after all, sentient. Who knows, one day it might transform. If it were to tell the Snow Maiden about their relationship, unnecessary trouble might ensue.
As a cautious player, her advice was to cover the horse’s eyes.
If it weren’t for the fact that the horse couldn’t be killed, she would have chosen to silence it permanently.
Lin Yun also sighed in relief, the horse’s timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
Snowstep, today you’ve saved me; in the future, I will repay this kindness as surely as a spring gushes forth!
