Chapter 138: Still Charming as Ever, I Want You to Marry Me!

"Who is it?"

Lin Potian turned his head abruptly; he always felt someone was following him!

But when he turned back, there was no one there.

Closing his eyes to sense his surroundings, Lin Potian looked toward a certain direction and said calmly, "Come out, Your Excellency."

Under the detection of his divine sense, Lin Potian was shocked to see a masked woman appear on a large tree to the northwest.

As the words fell, the woman immediately stepped out from between the trees. Her tight-fitting outfit clung to her graceful body, outlining her curvaceous figure. The moonlight poured onto her tight outfit without reservation, the fabric pressed against her skin, her waist slender and lithe. Coupled with the mask, she was full of mystery, yet her delicate body was actually trembling slightly!

Seeing this, Lin Potian couldn't help but stare for a moment, but he had long since ceased to be interested in women, only because this woman...

Looked especially like an old acquaintance from the Zhutian Wanjie—Zhong Lin!

"Lin Potian, long time no see..."

The woman slowly raised her hand, her fingertips trembling as they touched the edge of the black veil covering her face. With a gentle lift, the black veil drifted away!

"It really is you, Zhong Lin!"

"How did you get here?"

After seeing the face beneath the veil, Lin Potian's expression brightened. He hadn't expected to meet an old acquaintance here, but meeting here was certainly not a good thing!

The Endless Divine Land is too dangerous!

"That is a long story..." Zhong Lin sighed faintly, her expression extremely complex.

Hearing this, just as Lin Potian was about to ask her to make a long story short, the Tongtian Command had another anomaly. Weighing the importance of the situation, he immediately said, "Fine, then let's talk about it another day. I have something to do, I'm leaving first!"

Whoosh...!

Lin Potian soared into the air and left at high speed.

"Hey, hey, wait a moment!" Zhong Lin was stunned. How was this meeting different from what she had imagined?

But this trip was not purely to find Lin Potian to reminisce; she really had something to do!

Whoosh...

Zhong Lin followed him as well.

Before long, Lin Potian arrived at his Cave Abode, swiped the Jade Tablet on the door, entered instantly, and the door closed immediately!

Zhong Lin arrived late. Looking at the closed door, she rolled her eyes wildly: "Too fast, I didn't even have a chance to speak!"

"Forget it, I'll wait for him to come out. I'm afraid I can't handle this opportunity alone." Zhong Lin took a deep look at the tightly shut Cave Abode door, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to wait.

Once inside the Cave Abode, Lin Potian sat cross-legged and impatiently submerged his divine sense into the Tongtian Command.

"Young Master, you're finally here!" The Tongtian Command Spirit flew over with an anxious look.

Seeing this expression, Lin Potian feared something was wrong, and his heart sank!

"Xiaoxiao, don't be anxious, what exactly happened?"

Lin Potian spoke in a deep voice, his palms sweating. He had never seen the Tongtian Command Spirit Xiaoxiao so urgent before!

As he finished speaking, Xiaoxiao became even more urgent, gradually turning into excitement: "Young Master, I... I have sensed a fragment of the Tongtian Command!"

"What, just this?"

Lin Potian's hanging heart finally dropped. The Tongtian Command had been so urgent just now, he thought something had happened to his clansmen!

"It is this, isn't this matter important?" Xiaoxiao was stunned. Was she no longer important?

No longer loved?

That's right, she couldn't compare to the combat power of the Saint Emperor, so of course she couldn't receive the Young Master's favor!

"That's right, I'm just one-third of the remnant command, my function isn't great, it's normal for the Young Master not to take it to heart," Xiaoxiao said sourly.

After she finished, how could Lin Potian not hear the sourness? He waved his hand, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said, "That's not it, I just misunderstood. I thought something had gone wrong with my clansmen. Where is your fragment? I will help you find it back!"

"I don't know where the fragment is now, but the woman outside the door knows!" The Spirit's tone was extremely certain.

"Outside the door, a woman?" Lin Potian was stunned, not understanding. He turned his head to look at the door, his eyes glowing with a faint light, activating the Sharingan to see through all illusions!

In an instant, he pierced through the door and saw Zhong Lin sitting cross-legged outside!

But the Sharingan came with a built-in X-ray effect that couldn't be turned off. Lin Potian was caught off guard and was immediately lost in the surging waves!

"Cough cough... Zhong Lin is indeed still as charming as ever!"

Lin Potian wiped his nosebleed and gave an objective evaluation.

Then he looked at the Spirit Xiaoxiao and asked suspiciously, "Are you really sure she knows where your remnant fragment is?"

"Sure!"

"This is tricky. After that unintentional offense back then, Zhong Lin hates me to the bone. I'm afraid she won't give me the clue so easily..."

Having received a definite answer, Lin Potian was in a dilemma for a moment, but 2.5 seconds later.

Creak!

Lin Potian opened the door, feeling he had to face it!

Zhong Lin opened her eyes suddenly, full of resentment: "We are old acquaintances after all. Not to mention inviting me into your Cave Abode to sit for a while, we didn't even chat for two sentences after meeting, and you shut the door in my face?"

"Isn't that because I was afraid you still remembered what happened back then?" Lin Potian laughed sheepishly.

"What happened? I don't remember that anymore. By the way, where are your three sons and your Dao companion?" Zhong Lin shook her head and changed the subject.

Hearing this, Lin Potian's heart immediately tightened. What a lousy place, what a lousy place this is!

He was originally ascending to the Immortal Domain, how did he end up ascending to this Endless Divine Land!

Now it's fine, he has become a lone wolf.

"I am the only one here, a lone wolf. If I can't go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to see them in this lifetime." Lin Potian looked irritable, his mood dropping instantly.

Hearing this, a flash of light that was hard to detect passed through Zhong Lin's eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a subtle arc. The state of mind that originally only had blessings left for Lin Potian changed abruptly!

She thought to herself: "If you can never go back, would you... accept me?"

The feelings Zhong Lin had long extinguished were reignited once more!

This was not taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state, but mutual solace!

Zhong Lin's gaze fell tenderly upon Lin Potian's slightly lonely back as she walked toward him, her voice soft: "If you can never go back, what will you do?"

As she spoke, she slowly reached out, her fingertips nearly touching the hem of Lin Potian's garment...

"We'll see," Lin Potian waved his hand irritably and turned his head, just in time to meet the jade hand Zhong Lin had raised!

"What are you doing? You said you'd forgotten, are you trying to ambush me?"

Lin Potian instantly retreated several steps, a trace of wariness rising in his heart; only gentlemen and women are hard to deal with—after saying so much, it turned out she just wanted to make him lower his guard!

Seeing that Lin Potian was oblivious to the mood and had even assumed a defensive posture, a flicker of imperceptible disappointment flashed through Zhong Lin's eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared, and a bright smile curled the corners of her lips: "Nothing, I just saw your hem was slightly dirty and wanted to use the Clean Clothes Art to help you clean it."

Lin Potian was half-doubting, "Really?"

"Naturally. Let's not talk about this; let's talk business. I actually have something to discuss with you!" Zhong Lin changed the subject, her expression suddenly solemn.

"What a coincidence, I have something to discuss with you too!" Lin Potian looked awkward.

"You go first / You go first!"

The next second, the two spoke in unison!

A blush flashed across Zhong Lin's face, and she lowered her head, her voice faint: "You go first."

She felt her heart thumping wildly, filled with excitement!

Could it be that this blockhead had finally seen the light?

For a moment, Zhong Lin was filled with anticipation.

Seeing Zhong Lin defer, Lin Potian did not notice her unusual behavior; he revealed a trace of the Heaven-Reaching Token's aura, flicked his sleeve toward her, and said: "Have you encountered a fragment with an aura of the same style as this?"

"Ah, just this?" The disappointment on Zhong Lin's face could not be hidden at all.

Lin Potian was stunned—what was there to be disappointed about?

Immediately, Zhong Lin seemed to think of something and chuckled strangely: "I have indeed encountered a fragment with such an aura, and what's more, I know where it is!"

"But, I won't tell you so easily!"

"You must agree to one condition of mine!"

"Fine, fine, fine, then name it!" Upon hearing this, Lin Potian didn't care about the consequences; he had no worries now anyway—life and death are indifferent, if you aren't convinced, just fight—so he agreed first!

Seeing Lin Potian agree, Zhong Lin raised her head and stared straight at him, her gaze burning to the extreme!

"I want you... to marry me."

"Zhong Lin, are you joking?"

Lin Potian looked stunned; how could Zhong Lin possibly want him to marry her?

Could it be that after chasing him for ten years, she had chased herself into falling in love?

"Do I look like I'm joking??" Zhong Lin's expression was cold, yet inexplicably serious.

"This..."

Lin Potian stood frozen in place, the surrounding air congealing, leaving only the sound of his accelerating heartbeat, thumping away; mainly, he didn't know how to answer this question.

In the depths of Lin Potian's heart, there was only Liuli; he had never harbored thoughts of romantic love for Zhong Lin...

But if he didn't answer Zhong Lin's question now, she likely wouldn't reveal the whereabouts of the Heaven-Reaching Token fragment.

"How about I stall her first?"

A battle raged within Lin Potian's heart, and just as he was about to answer...

Zhong Lin smiled brightly, covering her mouth as she giggled: "Alright, I'm joking, look how scared you are!"

"You really are something! Change the condition, change to a normal one!" Lin Potian let out a long sigh of relief.

"I discovered a fortuitous encounter, and that fragment is among it. I can take you to that place, but my condition is that you protect me while I obtain what I want."

Zhong Lin put away her playful expression and spoke solemnly, though there was an unhideable loneliness in her eyes.

She really hadn't been joking just now...

It was just that Zhong Lin didn't want to hear the answer Lin Potian hadn't spoken.

"Fine, no problem, I will certainly do my best!" Lin Potian agreed, patting his chest without a second thought.

Zhong Lin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "There is no time to lose; there are two days left until the Eastern Profound Domain Grand Competition. That place is not far, we can go and return, there is still time!"

"Good."

Immediately, just as the two were about to set off, a voice like a booming bell rang out!

"Heavenly Pride Sequence 001 Lin Potian, come to the Prodigy Camp Martial Arts Arena at once!"
