Chapter 462: Your Mother Was So Shy, You’re So Bold!
Lin Fengmian wiped his sweat and asked, “Why are you asking this?”
Luo Xue seriously replied, “To scout ahead, of course. What if I accidentally give the Twin Fish Pendant to the wrong person?”
Lin Fengmian forced a dry laugh and said, “Given the current situation, even if you randomly threw it to a beggar on the street, he’d probably still end up being my ancestor.”
Luo Xue noticed his unease and leaned closer, staring into his eyes with suspicion.
“You don’t really know your ancestor’s name, do you?”
Lin Fengmian could only nod and admit, “I don’t know!”
“You unfilial descendant!” Luo Xue said in exasperation.
Lin Fengmian defended himself, “How am I supposed to know which ancestor was alive a thousand years ago?”
“The family tree is so long, and it’s not like I have nothing better to do than memorize it.”
“Can anyone on the street tell you the name of your great-great-great-grandfather?”
Luo Xue was speechless and mumbled, “I forgot that your Lin family were just ordinary mortals. A thousand years would mean that several generations have passed.”
Lin Fengmian smiled slightly and said, “Besides, my family probably hadn’t even moved to Ning City at that time.”
“According to our family records, we moved there about eight hundred years ago, supposedly to escape the war.”
Luo Xue sighed, “Why didn’t you say that before?”
Lin Fengmian chuckled, “You didn’t ask! How was I supposed to know that you were going there?”
He leaned closer to Luo Xue and said with a strange expression, “Luo Xue, I have a feeling that you don’t want to go back to Qionghua.”
Luo Xue’s face turned red as her thoughts were exposed. She sat by the river, propping her chin with her hand and looking dejected.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t know how my master will punish me. It’s giving me a headache.”
Lin Fengmian finally understood why she had been wandering around for so long without returning to Qionghua.
It turned out that she was afraid of facing Qionghua Supreme’s wrath.
He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Luo Xue, even you have such moments?”
Luo Xue gave him an annoyed look and said, “Stop gloating. My master can be really scary when she’s angry.”
Lin Fengmian grinned, “I’ll teach you a trick. Just act cute, be playful, and muddle through!”
Luo Xue’s face turned red, and her eyes darted around. She said with a serious expression, “I would never do such a thing!”
The two of them talked for half the night, and Lin Fengmian was the first to get up, ready to go back and prepare.
However, Luo Xue didn’t wave her sword to send him away. Instead, she stepped forward and gently hugged him, trying to cover up her actions by saying, “This is just encouragement. Don’t overthink it!”
Lin Fengmian lightly kissed her cheek and teased her, “Encouragement should be like this!”
Luo Xue hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and quickly pecked at his cheek like a chick pecking at grain.
Her face flushed red as she softly said, “Don’t die.”
Lin Fengmian was surprised that his wish had actually come true. He hugged her tightly and whispered with a smile, “Wait for my good news!”
Blushing furiously, Luo Xue pushed him away and swung her sword, sending Lin Fengmian back. He opened his eyes in a guest room.
She gently touched her lips, feeling as though her face was on fire, and finally covered her face with her hands.
“Ugh, this is so embarrassing. I must have been under his spell.”
On the other side, Lin Fengmian opened his eyes and touched the spot on his cheek where Luo Xue had kissed him. He couldn’t help but grin foolishly.
After a while, he tightened his grip on the Twin Fish Pendant in his hand, his expression turning resolute.
The Twin Fish Pendant was his greatest asset, and he couldn’t afford to lose it. But where should he hide it?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the Twin Fish Pendant transformed into a streak of light and merged with his body, appearing within his dantian. Lin Fengmian was both shocked and elated.
Not long after Lin Fengmian had hidden the Twin Fish Pendant, Shangguan Qiong walked in, her face still slightly flushed.
“Are you ready?” she asked.
Lin Fengmian replied seriously, “I’ve almost mastered it.”
Shangguan Qiong reached out and gently stroked Lin Fengmian’s face, retrieving the Lingering Poison Insect she had placed on him.
This level of poison insect was fine to leave on Lin Fengmian, but it wouldn’t be enough to deal with Jun Wuxie.
With Jun Wuxie’s status, getting rid of the Lingering Poison Insect would be as easy as flipping his hand.
Before Lin Fengmian could even feel relieved, Shangguan Qiong suddenly kissed him, startling him.
What was this woman doing? Had she suddenly lost the control of her instincts?
As his mind raced, a slippery little tongue slipped into his mouth.
Lin Fengmian instinctively held her, his hands roaming over her body, gently kneading.
Suddenly, something swiftly entered his body before he could even react.
Shangguan Qiong pushed him away, gently wiping her red lips and leisurely straightening her clothes.
“I have placed my life-bound Lingering Poison Insect on you. From now on, we will share life and death. If one prospers, so does the other; if one falls, so does the other.”
“This poisonous insect is different from others. Even a Saint wouldn’t be able to detect it. You’d better not try anything funny.”
Lin Fengmian wiped his lips and sneered, “Sect Leader, you even had to offer yourself to cast this spell. How hardworking of you!”
Of course, Shangguan Qiong understood the implication behind his words, but she wasn’t angry. Instead, she gave him a flirtatious glance.
“Isn’t this a special reward for you?”
Since this life-bound Lingering Poison Insect was called “life-bound,” there was naturally only one of it, which was why the casting method was so… unique.
While it could make the other party utterly infatuated with her body, she would also be drawn to their aura.
But Shangguan Qiong believed that she could withstand it. She had endured for hundreds of years – how could she not resist the temptation of a mere poisonous insect?
Soon, Yue Shuying and the Han sisters arrived, and all the participants in the plan were present.
Shangguan Qiong’s gaze was firm as she solemnly said, “Everyone, success or failure depends on this.”
She opened the mechanism of the Exquisite White Jade Cauldron, revealing the space below, and then poured a special spiritual liquid into the cauldron.
“Lin Fengmian, Yue Shuying, you may enter now. I’ll let you out when the time is right,” Shangguan Qiong said.
Lin Fengmian and Yue Shuying flew into the Cauldron together. The cauldron was large, so the two of them didn’t feel too cramped.
Lin Fengmian activated the Bone Shrinking Technique, and his body made a series of cracking sounds as he shrank by half, submerging himself in the water.
He took a deep breath, switching to internal breathing, and then hid at the bottom of the water, activating the False Death Technique to completely conceal his life force.
The specially made jade jar was sealed, but he could still see everything inside the jar through its bottom.
This was the miraculous feature of the jade jar-it was one-way transparent. From the outside, no one could see that someone was hidden at the bottom.
Shangguan Qiong waved her hand, and the Han sisters carried the white jade cauldron containing Lin Fengmian and Yue Shuying onto the airship.
The airship silently left the Joyful Union Sect, heading toward Haining City, where they had agreed to meet Jun Wuxie.
On the way, Lin Fengmian hid at the bottom of the jar and silently watched the scene above.
The feeling of having no control over his life or death was terrifying. He preferred to watch the scene above, which at least gave him a sense of participation.
Even though all he could see through the bottom of the jar was Yue Shuying swimming in the water, he found it endlessly amusing.
Soon, Lin Fengmian noticed something unusual.
Through the swaying aquatic plants in the water, between two towering jade pillars, he could catch a glimpse of the elusive One Line Sky.
He was completely stunned. Were half-demons so… unrestrained?
Your mother was so shy, and you are so… bold!
