Chapter 129: Aoife

Cu Chulainn is completely intimidated, but he doesn't think he’s intimidated; he just hears that Lin Ye is practically his master’s master, so he is just being respectful and not making things difficult for Lin Ye.

"Yeah, that’s it."

Cu Chulainn thinks to himself. After comforting himself, he starts honestly preparing to pack his things and go home.

On the other side, Scáthach smiles seeing this. Sure enough, not everyone is qualified to go head-to-head with Lin Ye.

Scáthach continues to watch.

[August, Nineteenth year: Cu Chulainn packs his bags and prepares to leave the Land of Shadows. He runs over to say goodbye to you and Lin Ye. Just before Cu Chulainn is about to leave, Lin Ye tells him, "Don't make promises lightly."]

[Cu Chulainn nods and leaves the Land of Shadows.]

"Cu Chulainn has left too."

Scáthach feels that her life is going to return to its original state—eating, sleeping, and fighting Lin Ye.

However, soon Scáthach feels something is wrong.

[September, Nineteenth year: You suddenly predict with Clairvoyance that you are shrouded in the shadow of death. You don't know why.]

"The shadow of death? How is that possible? Is Lin Ye finally going to have a decisive battle with me?"

Scáthach truly doesn't know why. She is going to die? But besides Lin Ye, who could kill her?

[October 3rd, Nineteenth year: An undead reports to you that a woman named Aoife, leading six great guards and 500 warriors, is coming to kill the Land of Shadows!]

"Aoife? Is it her?"

Scáthach finally understands why she felt the threat of death. Actually, Scáthach wouldn't have felt it; after all, in the normal timeline, Cu Chulainn would be there, and with the strength of both Cu Chulainn and the Master, they naturally wouldn't fear the opponent.

However, because Lin Ye beat Cu Chulainn too hard, Cu Chulainn went home early, and Lin Ye’s existence is automatically shielded from all detection due to the system, which is why Scáthach felt the threat of death.

"Aoife? If it’s her, it’s indeed possible she could bring me death."

Aoife, the legendary Valkyrie, is only slightly weaker than herself, and the opponent has brought six great guards, each only slightly weaker than Cu Chulainn.

With such a force, it’s not impossible for her to fight until she dies of exhaustion.

Scáthach thinks of Lin Ye. Her premonition won't be wrong, so she will definitely die in this battle. And based on her understanding of Lin Ye, this man will definitely fight to the end with her, so...

"If fate makes me die today, I will accept it gladly, but... I cannot implicate Lin Ye."

[Night of October 5th, Nineteenth year: You invite Lin Ye to your bedroom.]

"This is my first time entering your bedroom," Lin Ye says, looking at your room with emotion.

"You are also the first man to enter this bedroom," you say.

Hearing your words, Lin Ye smiles at you and says:

"Then, I am deeply honored. I hope... no, I will definitely be the only man to enter this room."]

"You..." You look at him with a smile, then take out two wine glasses and place them in front of Lin Ye.

You look at Lin Ye and say, "My nemesis is coming."]

"Hmm, I know. Don't worry, with me here, it will be fine," Lin Ye says confidently, as always.

Looking at Lin Ye, you don't tell him that you foresaw the threat of death approaching. You just raise the wine glass in your hand and say to him, "Then, let us drink this cup to the fullest."]

Scáthach put sleeping powder in the wine glass; as long as he drinks it, he will sleep for a day and a night. Scáthach has already decided: as soon as Lin Ye drinks this wine, he will fall asleep.

Then she will go outside the city alone to duel Aoife! If she wins, everything will be fine; if she loses, she will definitely die at Aoife’s hands, and Aoife, having killed her, will naturally leave.

After all, no one would like a place like the Land of Shadows except for herself and Lin Ye.

You watch Lin Ye bring the wine glass to his lips. Just as you are about to watch him drink it in one gulp, Lin Ye suddenly smiles at you, and then... his body transforms into petals filling the sky and disappears!]

Illusion A+!

That’s right, after Lin Ye’s diligent study during this time, his illusion level has finally reached A+! It has even surpassed Merlin, the original owner!]

"This is... Lin Ye’s illusion... Oh no!"]

Scáthach understands everything in an instant! Lin Ye’s Clairvoyance is no weaker than her own; if she could feel Aoife approaching, how could Lin Ye not feel it? Now, since Lin Ye is not in front of her, where has he gone?

"Aoife!! If Lin Ye suffers even the slightest harm, I will definitely die with you!"

[Reacting, you immediately drop the cup in your hand and rush outside. However, the moment you reach the city gate, you see a golden light shoot into the sky! Having fought Lin Ye many times, you naturally know that is Lin Ye’s signature ultimate move!]

Reacting instantly, you drop the cup in your hand and rush toward the outside. However, the moment you arrive at the city gate, you see a golden light soaring into the sky! Having clashed with Lin Ye many times, you naturally know that is Lin Ye's signature ultimate technique!

You run toward the outside of the city like a madwoman! However, the moment you arrive outside, all you see is a scene of broken walls and ruins!]

[Mutilated corpses and broken weapons are scattered everywhere. The corpses of 500 warriors are piled into a mountain, and on top of the mountain, Lin Ye stands proudly holding a longsword!]

[In front of Lin Ye, Aoife lies on the ground, dispirited. Her beloved warhorse is dead, her precious chariot is reduced to wheels, and the warriors she carefully cultivated are all wiped out!]

"You bastard!! I will make you pay with your life!!!"

"You won't have that chance," Lin Ye says calmly, looking at her. "But it’s not entirely impossible. I need a maid—are you coming or not?"]

"Don't even think about it! Even if I die here, I will absolutely not be a maid for someone like you!"

"Then is there no other way?" Lin Ye raises his sword again. Seeing this, Aoife’s face changes. This guy is for real!

Does this guy really not know how to cherish a beauty at all!

"Wait! I... I agree!!!"

A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses; only by living is there hope. Besides, the victor has the right to dispose of his captives; her surrendering is just a matter of course.

Watching this scene, Lin Ye turns his head to look at you. He smiles slightly and says, "See, I told you, with me here, it will be fine."]

"Fool!"

At this moment, even Scáthach has to admit that a Lin Ye like this is indeed very heart-moving.
