Chapter 512: Chapter 20 The Survival Rules of the Sea King
The High Priest was planning her escape for the evening, and Lin Yun was planning on seeing her off, which wasn’t conflicting.
So, waiting for the darkness to fall became somewhat tedious.
Wang Wanqiu had to leave early since she was only meant to guide their departure and staying with them for too long might arouse the High Priest’s suspicions. Lin Yun and Lin Yu found a hilltop and watched the sun slowly set. Lin Yun was reminded of the Power of the Sun he had harnessed that day.
Yuxuan had warned him not to attract the Power of the Sun, but Lin Yun always wanted to give it a try.
However, without someone as powerful as Yuxuan to protect him, Lin Yun truly worried that just trying it might result in his demise.
Lin Yu knelt beside Lin Yun, looking at the setting sun and couldn’t help but sigh, "The sunset is so beautiful today, how long has it been since we quietly spent time together like this?"
Seeing that the usually straightforward Lin Yu had grown sentimental, Lin Yun immediately put on a playful grin and said, "Have I ever been quiet when we’re together? Don’t I always think about how to take advantage of you?"
With that, Lin Yun made his move and pulled Lin Yu into his arms.
Lin Yu was instantly speechless.
Such a poetic and picturesque moment, and Lin Yun had ruined the mood.
She glanced at Lin Yun with acted annoyance, yet she cooperated by leaning on him, staring at his profile. She meant to say something endearing, but what came out was words of jealousy.
"You spend more time with other girls now, naturally leaving less for me."
Lin Yun: "..."
Is this also my fault?
That was careless of me.
Lin Yun’s mind raced frantically, finally coming up with a way out.
Running a harem is inherently shameless; without being thick-skinned, how could one embrace them all!
While Lin Yun was internally nervous, he feigned composure and said, "Theoretically, given your endurance, if I arrange my time efficiently, I can satisfy each and every one of you."
This was his tactic for changing the subject. The reduction in time was inevitable and unsolvable, but Lin Yun had just changed the way he expressed it.
It’s not about how much time you have, but how you use it.
Lin Yu tilted her head in confusion at that moment. Satisfy? Endurance?
By the time she realized what he meant, she became furiously aggrieved, grabbing Lin Yun’s waist and giving it a vicious twist.
Lin Yun immediately cried out in pain, showing just how much it hurt, which allowed Lin Yu to feel somewhat appeased.
She had been just casually jealous, not expecting Lin Yun to be so bold. Annoyed, she said, "According to you, then, could you handle even more? Should I help you by bringing Bai Gan and Gao Qing over as well?"
"No need, no need, I think you should pay more attention to Wang Wanqiu instead."
Lin Yun knew Lin Yu was just speaking out of anger. It’s normal for couples to fight and bicker when they’re together.
But if men can’t resolve issues in time, that bickering could lead to real trouble.
When Lin Yu heard him bring up Wang Wanqiu, she was immediately shocked.
Wow, you dare to fancy my disciple?
Thinking about it, Wang Wanqiu wasn’t bad-looking, it was just that her figure...
How to put it, she couldn’t even compete with Dongfang Hongyue.
But since Lin Yun liked Dongfang Hongyue, there was a chance he might like Wang Wanqiu as well.
At that thought, Lin Yu became truly angry.
Lin Yu was a bit angry and incredibly jealous about Lin Yun finding so many female confidantes, but she could also understand.
Outstanding men always attract attention, and it seems Lin Yun’s charm is excessively abundant.
Moreover, everything is due to fate; she can’t stop it, so she can only choose to accept it.
Indeed, she could force Lin Yun to make a choice, to choose between other women and herself, but that would only put Lin Yun in a difficult position. Lin Yu didn’t want that.
However, this didn’t mean she could accept Lin Yun flirting around without limits.
Those unavoidable infatuations were one thing, but why did he have to seduce her disciple!
How would she and Wang Wanqiu calculate their relationship afterward?
"You!"
Lin Yu gritted her teeth, her heart struggling hundreds of times in that instant.
On one hand, she felt like having a big fight with Lin Yun to let him know the seriousness of the situation, but on the other hand, she began to consider a future where she and Wan Qiu would each go their own ways. Within this inner palace of his, it meant one more ally for herself. Yet, she also wondered if Lin Yun became affectionate with them, and she and Wang Wanqiu were together...
The thought itself was embarrassing.
Unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable!
The vote against was prevailing, but as her mind whirled, Lin Yun said, "I think Wang Wanqiu might be harboring thoughts of death."
"Ah?"
This sudden change of topic also startled Lin Yu.
"Haven’t we already discussed this?"
When Lin Yu heard Lin Yun say that Wang Wanqiu had thoughts of dying, she was no longer in the mood for jealousy or whimsical thoughts. Instead, those ideas turned into feelings of guilt towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was worried about her, and yet she had misunderstood him like that.
However, it’s said that family doesn’t hold back in their words. She silently apologized to Lin Yun in her heart; it was now more important to focus on Wang Wanqiu’s situation.
Lin Yun explained, "Although we have discussed it, no one knows how your strength compares to the High Priest’s, and if I were Wang Wanqiu, I would also feel it’s not secure enough. If it were just this concern, it might be nothing, but I am also stricken with a severe poison. She must be worrying that you will activate the Oblivion Gu Worm for my sake, so she will definitely want to do it herself.
It would save me and also spare you from worrying. It’s a better plan than what you proposed, and since she is someone who does not fear death, she might very well think this way."
Wang Wanqiu was not afraid to risk her life; Lin Yun knew this from the first time he met her. A girl without the power of the Heart Guarding Realm daring to assassinate the Demon Lord, even though it wasn’t her acting directly, such bravery was commendable.
She’s a true heroine, with ideals and convictions, ready to sacrifice her life for them.
Thus, Lin Yun could roughly guess what she might do.
However, it made no sense to speak too early or too late. It was best to catch her in the act when Wang Wanqiu was about to take action but had not yet moved.
If not, if Wang Wanqiu denied it, she could continue her actions.
Based on Lin Yun’s inference, she would probably act after nightfall, at which point it would be perfect for Lin Yu to stop her.
And at this moment, it would be an unexpected joy to disrupt Lin Yu’s life-threatening dilemma.
Listening to Lin Yun’s analysis, Lin Yu couldn’t sit still.
"I’m going to find her right now."
How could she wait until nightfall? What if Wang Wanqiu went to steal the Oblivion Gu Worm right now?
"Hey, don’t rush!"
Lin Yun wanted to stop Lin Yu, but she vanished in a flash, leaving him alone watching the sunset.
"Sigh, they’re both so impatient. Come to think of it, my Slave Mark should also be effective by now. Let me sense it..."
