Chapter 708

~8 min read 1,481 words

"I thank you, you are too polite; if you return the shadow to me, I will thank the heavens and the earth."

The corners of Ye Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

Although this woman was full of charm, if Ye Lin wasn't mistaken.

This woman was likely the Hall Master of one of the three halls: Greed-Joy Hall, Evil Mirror Hall, or Bone-Erosion Hall.

Don't just look at her mature and moving appearance; this woman was likely someone who would eat people without spitting out the bones.

Spending a night with her, if nothing happened, it would be fine, but if something did, the viruses on his body might be more than those in the Biochemical Pyramid.

"Tsk tsk tsk, truly a boring kid."

The woman shook her head.

"Wanting your shadow back is simple; do one thing for me."

"What thing?" Ye Lin asked.

"I want you to take down Lin Muxi," the woman said.

"Who is Lin Muxi?" Ye Lin asked in confusion.

"No-Thought Hall, Hall Master."

As soon as the woman's words fell, a pair of cold fox eyes immediately appeared in Ye Lin's mind.

"Me?"

Ye Lin pointed at himself, looking blank.

Although he had never underestimated himself, asking him to take down the No-Thought Hall Master was overestimating him a bit too much, right?

This is like your parents urging you to get married one day and suddenly telling you, "You, go marry Saito Asuka and bring her home."

"Not bad," the woman nodded.

"I say, sister, you're overestimating me, right? Just based on me, take down the No-Thought Hall Master? What do I rely on to take her down? Drugs? But at her realm, I can't even get drugs that would be useful to her, right?"

Ye Lin spread his hands, looking helpless.

He had tried to release the Joyous Void Union on the No-Thought Hall Master before.

As a result, because the strength gap was too large, the other party only froze for a moment before reacting.

In a sense, he and the No-Thought Hall Master couldn't even be considered the same kind of creature; there was a difference between immortals and mortals.

"If it were normal, you certainly couldn't take her down, but now, your opportunity has come."

The woman smiled faintly, gently stroking Ye Lin's shadow.

"If my sensing is not wrong, you should have broken into her place of seclusion, right?"

Ye Lin subconsciously shook his head, but quickly nodded.

"She is trying to break through the last layer of the No-Thought No-Emotion Record, the No-Between Prison; your appearance has undoubtedly left a tiny crack in her Dao heart. You are her fate, and also her tribulation."

Listening to the woman's explanation, Ye Lin's frown deepened.

"So why do I have to be the one to take her down?"

"Because, I want you to destroy her."

A strong hatred flashed in the woman's eyes.

"I want you to pry open her heart, make her truly fall for you, and after that, I want you to abandon her and completely destroy her!"

Ye Lin remained silent.

"Speaking of which, this is still cheap for you, kid; that Lin Muxi has yet to experience human affairs."

The hatred in the woman's eyes only appeared for a second, then disappeared without a trace, and a smile reappeared on her face.

"Do you think I'll believe that?"

The corners of Ye Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

The probability of a Hall Master who has yet to experience human affairs appearing in a sect of joyous union is too low.

This is like her telling you she's tanned; do you believe it?

"What's so unimaginable about this? Don't forget, she is the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall."

The woman slowly began to tell the story.

"Lin Muxi was originally just a woman in the mortal world, who should have had a happy and fulfilling life, but she encountered a beastly father."

"When she was fifteen, her father had evil intentions toward her, and her mother turned a blind eye and a deaf ear."

"Speaking of which, it's ridiculous; her biological father actually felt, why should the daughter he gave birth to be cheaply given to outsiders?"

"When her father had evil intentions for the first time, Lin Muxi resisted desperately and successfully escaped a disaster."

"When her father had evil intentions for the second time, Lin Muxi picked up a hidden firewood knife and cut off her father's head."

"This scene happened to be seen by her master at the time; her master found that Lin Muxi's roots were not bad and immediately determined that she was a good seedling for cultivating the No-Emotion Path."

"And just as her master expected."

"She had long since passed the Red Dust Tribulation of the No-Thought No-Emotion Record."

"After all, what girl could imagine that the father she regarded as a backer, as an idol, would one day lay a hand on her?"

"There is nothing more heartbreaking and desperate than the betrayal of one's own biological parents."

"Because of such a beastly father, Lin Muxi has shallow ties with her six relatives, is not close to her family, and is even more disgusted and cold toward strange men; she cultivated the No-Emotion Path very smoothly and soon took over the position of her master who was killed by the righteous path, becoming the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall."

The woman lowered her eyes to look at Ye Lin.

"If this continues, Lin Muxi's cultivation will sooner or later get higher and higher, until one day she is completely riding on my head, so I want you to destroy her."

Ye Lin listened quietly; he hadn't expected the No-Thought Hall Master to have such a past.

"What conflict do you have with her? Has she harmed you?" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.

The woman looked at Ye Lin, her beautiful eyes shining.

"Little friend, having too much curiosity is not a good thing~ You just need to do as I say; as for why, you don't need to ask."

Ye Lin nodded.

"Okay, then return the shadow to me first," Ye Lin stretched out his hand.

"How can that be? What if you run away after I return the shadow to you?" The woman laughed.

"I can make a Dao oath; as long as you return the shadow to me, I will definitely listen to you and seriously execute the things you instruct!" Ye Lin started a Dao oath without a second word.

The woman couldn't help but freeze, then stretched out a finger to lift Ye Lin's chin.

"Still making a Dao oath? It's a pity that the more you are so solemn, the more I feel there is a ghost inside; if a woman believes a man's oath, she will likely be cheated of money and sex."

"No, sister, if you don't return the shadow to me, how can I take down Lin Muxi? I'm afraid I'll be taken down and executed by the elders as soon as I go out!" Ye Lin asked back.

"This is simple, I'll just make a fake shadow for you."

The woman's jade-white finger flicked lightly, and Ye Lin's shadow reappeared, while his real shadow remained in the woman's hand.

"You're ruthless!"

Ye Lin took a deep breath.

Now that the other party had his handle, he could only do as the woman said.

This woman was too suspicious; she didn't even believe in a Dao oath.

Can a Dao oath be fake? Really!

"Come on, I'll give you at most one year; if you still can't take down Lin Muxi in a year~"

The woman reached out and poked the heart of the shadow lightly, and Ye Lin's heart felt a strong, sharp pain synchronously.

Clearly, with Ye Lin's shadow in hand, she could curse and kill Ye Lin from a distance at any time.

However, Ye Lin wasn't worried about this; this was purely helping him cultivate the Ten Thousand Tribulations God Refining Technique.

He was mainly worried about the Reincarnation Severing Love Well incident being exposed, in which case he definitely wouldn't be able to stay in the Joyous Union Sect.

"By the way, which Hall Master are you?" Ye Lin asked the woman.

"Yo? You can even guess I'm a Hall Master, quite smart, I'm looking forward to you even more."

The woman stretched, her exquisite and proud figure fully revealed.

"Listen well, this seat is the Greed-Joy Hall Master, Fu Yanjie."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's pupils shrank, and his body trembled as he said.

"Fu Yanjie, I've heard of you!"

"Oh?"

Fu Yanjie raised her eyebrows, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes; clearly, she didn't expect Ye Lin to have heard her real name.

"Really, at that time, there was a sentence following your name, something like, 'Wash it and it's healthier'?"
