NOVEL WEB chapter 93
93. The Underworld’s Plan
Because Mu Yiting said she doesn’t eat pigeons, Lin Nuo ignored her. Both were popular goddesses of the Xuan Yun Sect, but Mu Yiting was hypocritical, claiming that the sect does not kill or eat living creatures. However, Qin Shili was different. She wanted to try the pigeon that Lin Nuo roasted, not caring about the sect’s rule against killing. And then she found the roasted pigeon unexpectedly delicious.
Mu Yiting was supposed to be observing Lin Nuo, but she got tempted by the delicious roasted pigeon and ended up being force-fed a mouthful of ‘dog food’ by the pair.
After all, she was also a popular female cultivator of the Xuan Yun Sect. How did she end up alone, watching these two being so affectionate with each other?
What a disgrace.
But she had to endure the humiliation, for she had gained valuable information this time. It turned out that the relationship between these two was not as rumored; they actually had a peculiar connection.
Mu Yiting put on a sweet smile, feigning gossip: “Senior brother, senior sister, it seems like you two have a good relationship. Could it be that senior brother has moved senior sister, and now you’ve formed a bond?”
“Are you blind? Do I have a good relationship with her?”
Lin Nuo, with a mouthful of pigeon meat, replied irritably, then Qin Shili handed him a handkerchief. He took it and wiped his mouth.
“Isn’t this considered a good relationship? You seem quite in sync.”
Mu Yiting laughed awkwardly. Their rapport was just like that of long-time companions, only their expressions were a bit colder.
She became more convinced of her speculation; these two definitely had an extraordinary relationship, and perhaps they had already become companions on the path.
Now it was troublesome. These two difficult individuals had joined forces, becoming companions, making them even harder to deal with in the future.
But she was still confident in herself; there was always a way to deal with them.
After finishing the roasted pigeon, Lin Nuo let out a long sigh of relief, feeling content. Roasting pigeons on Tian Ling Mountain was simply the best.
“So, what are you here for?” Lin Nuo asked Qin Shili.
“Shouldn’t you have asked me that when I first arrived?”
“Oh, I forgot. Is it too late to ask now?”
“The master has ordered, I am to take you for cultivation.”
“I refuse.”
Lin Nuo quickly got up. Cultivating with a seventh-tier powerhouse, he didn’t even dare to dual cultivate, fearing he’d be ruined.
Lin Nuo put out the fire, washed his mouth by the river, and quickly grabbed the box of pork floss buns to make his escape.
Qin Shili also got up and followed Lin Nuo. She didn’t force him with martial power; she just followed him persistently, like a nagging presence. Her cultivation was high, and even though Lin Nuo was a wind spirit root boy, he couldn’t outrun her.
Lin Nuo’s daydreams from the past, being chased by Qin Shili, had come true after he became the antagonist!
But all he did was quietly practice a demonic cultivation method.
Lin Nuo and Qin Shili left, and in Mu Yiting’s eyes, the two were being overly affectionate, playfully teasing and bickering.
Hateful, so hateful.
Mu Yiting would remember today’s humiliation, and she would definitely make these two pay in the future.
Endure the humiliation, bide your time!
[Let’s continue communicating. I’ll be able to leave here soon and return to my own family.]
Mu Yiting had always been yearning to return, truly unwilling to always masquerade as the good girl, feeling disgusted by these so-called righteous disciples.
Soon, she would be able to go back, and the family would soon be revitalized.
There were other carrier pigeons on Tianling Mountain. Mu Yiting called them over, entrusted the message to the pigeons, applied a secret technique, and then let them fly away.
This time, she deliberately sent the pigeons in the opposite direction of where Lin Nuo had left, to prevent them from being roasted and eaten by him again.
…
In Wujun, within a grand mansion, there was a dimly lit secret chamber.
Inside were two men, one standing in front of a map with his hands behind his back. Behind him was another man, kneeling down.
“How are things?” the standing man asked in a heavy voice.
The kneeling man replied with utmost respect:
“Reporting to the lord, I have extracted the medicinal ingredients and mysterious items from Xuan Yun Sect, as well as the ‘Secret Methods of the Rainbow Heaven’ and the secret realm map. Combined with the intelligence on the four Mu sisters, our family’s resurgence is imminent.”
“Good, now that we have everything we need, she has no more value to us. Keeping her would only mean sharing the credit.”
“Reporting to the lord, I have already devised an excellent plan. It will not only kill her but also the disciples of Xuan Yun Sect. Once their new strength is extinguished, the decline of Xuan Yun Sect is only a matter of time.”
“Oh? I’m curious to hear what ingenious plan you’ve come up with.”
The man addressed as the lord turned around, stroking his beard with interest. Not only could he kill Mu Yiting, that little girl, but also the disciples of Xuan Yun Sect. This would be a great achievement. If successful, he would undoubtedly secure a place in the family’s future.
“Lord, please look.”
At that moment, the kneeling man took out a black stone from his pocket.
The standing man looked at it with some interest.
“This is the Black Scale Stone. Are you planning to blow them up? The Black Scale Stone is not easily triggered, and even if it explodes, how will you escape?”
“Rest assured, lord. I have become their trusted alchemist. During the next alchemy class, I will place the Black Scale Stone in that girl’s furnace. Then, I will watch for the right moment to leave. Once the furnace reaches high temperatures, combined with her method’s spiritual power, it will surely detonate the Black Scale Stone, and everyone will die.”
The man said confidently.
