The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 71: The Heart Thief

The moon suddenly took on a blood-like red color, and the shouts of killing that Lin Yun heard also became much louder.

Accompanying the shouts of killing were the wails of those being slaughtered.

Looking at that somewhat familiar Dao magic, Lin Yun recognized it. It seemed like it was a technique of the Seven Righteous Sects.

The tears of the Little Flower Fairy were also dyed red by the moonlight, and the two lines of bloodied tears made her look suddenly terrifying.

But Lin Yun held her tight, comforting her incessantly, "Don’t be afraid, it’s all fake."

"I remember now."

The voice of the Little Flower Fairy became very sharp. "I remember everything... It’s my fault, it’s all my fault..."

Lin Yun’s heart ached, and he blocked her line of sight with his arm, pressing her head against his chest as gently as he could, and said, "It’s all in the past."

By now, how could Lin Yun not understand that the Flower Fairy had him come to Thousand Mechanism Valley likely because she knew that the most painful memories of the Little Flower Fairy were sealed here, and only these could awaken her from her dreams.

Yet, subjecting a child to relive these experiences again seemed far too cruel.

The comforting words of Lin Yun seemed pale and powerless, and the Little Flower Fairy also came to terms with reality.

She slowly pushed Lin Yun away, and those eyes, which had lost their initial vivacity, held nothing but a dead calm.

"They’re all dead, and only I, the disaster, survived. Why did I survive?"

Suddenly, a great chasm split open in the sky, and the ground shook as if the end of the world had come.

"It’s precisely because they’re all dead that you should live on, live each of their portions well, and move forward."

Seeing the resignation in the eyes of the Little Flower Fairy and recalling what Mad Flower Fairy had said, that she had always longed for death, Lin Yun grew genuinely worried that one day she might indeed be killed by her own persona.

"Think of those who still care about you, for their sake, live well, can you do that?"

Lin Yun placed his hands on the Little Flower Fairy’s shoulders, looking into her eyes, trying to convey his encouragement through his gaze.

"No one in this world cares about me anymore. Those who cared are all dead."

"I do! Didn’t you say you wanted to marry me when you grew up?"

At this moment, to awaken the Little Flower Fairy’s will to live, Lin Yun could no longer care about the impropriety of saying such things to a little girl.

The eyes of the Little Flower Fairy brightened a little, as she looked at Lin Yun, puzzled. "Why are you so good to me?"

Lin Yun couldn’t think of another reason at that moment, but he didn’t have time to hesitate.

"Because you’re too cute, and I like you the most, so for the sake of how much I like you, please live on!"

"..."

That reason made even the Little Flower Fairy blush a little.

But...

"It’s too painful, living is too painful..."

Tears flowed from the Little Flower Fairy again, and Lin Yun hugged her once more, soothing her. "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’m willing to share your pain."

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

The Little Flower Fairy did not speak again, only crying incessantly.

The dream was collapsing, the moon shattered into snowflakes slowly falling, the snow was red, looking desolate yet also strangely beautiful.

But in a daze, the Little Flower Fairy in his arms had disappeared, and Lin Yun, jolted in spirit, realized he had returned to his own body.

Not only that, it seemed he had acquired something more.

Upon closer inspection, he found an additional seven-colored bead in his Dantian, with the Azure Dragon Gu Worm curiously observing it.

What is this?

Lin Yun was curious as well. He felt that this might be related to the Flower Fairy.

As for how he had come to possess such an object...

Lin Yun looked at the Moon Water Pearl thoughtfully.

This thing was very mysterious, looking useless at times and suddenly meddlesome in its operations, truly excessive.

At this moment, the Flower Fairy also awakened from the dream.

"My Exquisite Heart!"

Having lost her Exquisite Heart, she quickly sensed something was amiss.

"It’s a priceless treasure, worth two cities."

The Flower Fairy muttered to herself again.

"Sure enough, a peerless beauty like me is bound to be envied by the heavens."

"I should go back to cultivating!"

The Flower Fairy kept talking to herself until finally, a timid yet excited voice emerged.

"I’ve grown up, I can marry brother now!"

"All of you shut up, no one is allowed out without my permission!"

The Flower Fairy’s expression changed once more, and this time, she stopped altering her countenance.

"Damn it! It’s one thing to deceive a child, but to steal, too? I won’t let you off!"

The Flower Fairy instantly locked onto the heart thief.

Who else could it be but Lin Yun?

But first, onto the next challenge.

To reclaim her own Exquisite Heart, she had to meet Lin Yun in person.

At this moment, Lin Yun was still pondering over the Flower Fairy’s situation.

Clearly, she had experienced a sect’s annihilation, a disaster which, among the Seven Righteous Sects, only the Taiqing Daoist Temple and Yu Ling Sect left no traces.

Thinking of Daoist Master Huang Long, Lin Yun felt there was a significant story behind all this.

"I’ve only watched three dreams, and two were of massacres..."

Lin Yun complained, trying to lighten his mood a bit.

To be honest, he felt his empathetic abilities were quite strong; seeing others suffer made him sad as well.

Lin Yun checked the mirror, and saw the Flower Fairy was already tackling the fourth challenge.

The fourth challenge posed a question.

"When you need to sacrifice an innocent person to save many others, what would you choose?"

No matter how one answered the question, they could pass. Lin Yun didn’t continue to pay attention and instead checked on the progress of others, only then did he realize that only one dream was still ongoing in the third challenge.

Some people had already died in their dreams, so the mirror representing them would no longer appear.

And the last ongoing dream, shockingly, belonged to Xiao Qing!

The same Xiao Qing who had a naming collision with Lin Yun’s Azure Dragon Gu Worm.

People nowadays... don’t put any heart into naming, just choosing names based on colors, which made him want to rename his own Xiao Qing.

Green Snake may not recognize herself, but Lin Yun considered Bai Jiaojiao a friend; since Green Snake was Bai Jiaojiao’s subordinate, he felt bound to save her.

Green Snake’s dream was one of tranquility and peace; she lived carefree with her sister, the White Snake.

Of course, the sister was in name only, since their colors didn’t match.

But their affection for each other was sincere.

As Lin Yun entered the dream, he found himself watching Da Bai and Xiao Qing frolicking in the water, causing ripples upon ripples.

Ah, such large waves, such white spray.

The women that the two snakes had transformed into both had great figures!

Now intertwined with each other, the scene was particularly... suggestive.

Ah, this...

Very thrilling.

But Lin Yun didn’t forget his mission.

"Xiao Qing, wake up."

Lin Yun felt like he had become a professional at waking people up.

Xiao Qing, entwined with her sister, paused, looking around, unsure who was speaking.

"This is a dream; wake up quickly."

Xiao Qing: "..."

She glanced at her sister’s white body and then at her own, falling into deep thought.

Who was intruding on her dream?
