Chapter 820: Playing Hard to Get

That night, you didn't refuse me.

That night, I hurt you.

That night, your face was full of tears.

That night, you got drunk for me.

Guo Qin had originally thought the Joyous Union Sect was his heaven.

But after that night, acting as the bridge between them, he felt he was out of place in the Joyous Union Sect because he wasn't perverted enough.

Guo Qin wanted to leave the Joyous Union Sect, but by then, Yao Geng and Xue Bingxiao, having experienced the powerful dual-cultivation effects of the Heart of an Innocent, were unwilling to let Guo Qin go.

They didn't choose to force Guo Qin, but instead had Xue Bingxiao wear a form-fitting *qipao* and use a beauty trap.

Xue Bingxiao called him "baby" every other word, almost coaxing Guo Qin into becoming a placenta.

"Baby, the three of us living a good life is more important than anything."

During that time, Xue Bingxiao used almost all her skills to serve Guo Qin, making Guo Qin once again oblivious to the world.

Guo Qin naturally continued to stay in the Joyous Union Sect.

After all, dual cultivation had many benefits for him as well; his cultivation improved very quickly, almost described as "a thousand miles a day."

Mortal Three Realms, Dao Five Tribulations, Spirit Seven Phases, Soul Nine Passes—Guo Qin's realm became higher and higher.

And the higher his realm, the greater the improvement he could bring to Xue Bingxiao and Yao Geng with his Heart of an Innocent, so they sought him out even more frequently.

Furthermore, after other disciples in the Joyous Union Sect heard the news, they also began to have designs on Guo Qin.

Gradually, Guo Qin couldn't take it anymore.

He remembered very clearly that it was a sunny morning, with the nine o'clock sun hanging in the sky.

But when Guo Qin walked out of the room, he saw that the sun was green.

Guo Qin was so scared his scalp went numb, and he immediately decided he couldn't stay in the Joyous Union Sect any longer.

But just as he wanted to run, he was discovered by Yao Geng.

Yao Geng directly suppressed him at the bottom of the bottomless abyss behind the Joyous Union Sect, making Guo Qin the public cauldron for the entire Joyous Union Sect.

From then on, Guo Qin began his long career as a cauldron.

Ye Lin knew everything that happened afterward without Guo Qin having to say it.

With Guo Qin, the cauldron with the Heart of an Innocent, the Joyous Union Sect's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, Xue Bingxiao successfully seized power and locked Yao Geng in the Thousand Red Grotto.

In a thousand years, Xue Bingxiao broke through to the second change of the Law Four Changes, the Dao Origin Realm, and the Joyous Union Sect also became a giant of the demonic path.

Guo Qin had been a connector at the bottom of the Thousand Red Grotto for over a thousand years, until he was rescued by Ye Lin today.

After hearing Guo Qin's encounter, Ye Lin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He had originally been regretting that he let Yao Geng die too easily, but now it seemed that this matter couldn't really be blamed on Yao Geng.

To be fair, this was clearly Guo Qin jumping into the fire pit himself; Yao Geng hadn't even intended to recruit Guo Qin at the beginning.

Ye Lin had always been one to help his own rather than reason, but he really couldn't think of any excuse to exonerate Guo Qin.

Just then, Xue Bingxiao walked in with a large table of delicious food.

The moment he saw Xue Bingxiao, Guo Qin's breathing quickened, and a look of terror appeared in his eyes.

This was the first time he had seen someone afraid of a woman.

"Don't worry, she can't hurt you anymore."

Ye Lin manifested Xue Bingxiao's slave seal, and Guo Qin finally felt at ease.

But when Guo Qin saw that table of food, his whole body instantly went into spasms, his tongue stuck out for miles, and he shook like a sieve and fainted.

"Holy shit?"

Ye Lin was startled and hurriedly began to check Guo Qin's body, fearing there were some hidden injuries.

But after checking, he found that Guo Qin's body was fine, with not a single sign of injury; so how could he suddenly go crazy?

After being unconscious for a while, Guo Qin finally woke up.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly faint?" Ye Lin asked.

"I... I think I have post-traumatic stress disorder. Many dishes, let alone eating them, I can't even look at them."

Guo Qin's face was pale.

"For example, yogurt, steamed buns, dumplings, roast chicken, roast duck, rabbit, mushrooms—I get sick just by looking at them."

Ye Lin: "......"

It was clear that this thousand-year career as a cauldron had indeed brought Guo Qin great psychological trauma.

"Take the dishes away."

Ye Lin ordered Xue Bingxiao to take the food away, but just then, Guo Qin caught a glimpse of the candlestick in the room, and he got sick again, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"No way, seeing a candle is also not okay?"

Ye Lin's scalp went numb; Guo Qin's psychological trauma was indeed severe.

He didn't have any great way to deal with it for the moment; psychological trauma was something even the power of the Undying Divine Domain couldn't solve.

It was just like if Ye Lin saw a living Zhuge Qianxing standing in front of him smiling at him right now, he would definitely faint from the shock just like Guo Qin.

Looking at the fainted Guo Qin, Ye Lin sighed and brought over a quilt to cover him.

His main purpose in returning to the Joyous Union Sect was to get Xue Bingxiao's slave seal; he hadn't expected to dig out Guo Qin along the way, which could be considered an unexpected joy.

Guo Qin had just escaped his career as a cauldron; better to let him rest for a while first.

Now that the slave seal matter was settled, it was time to go find that old hag, Granny Kuanglong, to settle the score.

Before going to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Gate, Ye Lin had two important people to see.

For the first person, Ye Lin went to the Wunian Hall to see Lin Muxi.

Lin Muxi sat in the Wunian Hall, her black hair held up by a silver hairpin, the two completely different temperaments of gentleness and coldness merged into one on her.

A water-ink colored *qipao* tightly wrapped her delicate body, setting off her slender, willow-like waist.

"What are you here for?"

Lin Muxi glanced coldly at Ye Lin, her eyes indifferent and cold, completely different from when the volcano erupted.

"I heard you specifically ran to the entrance of the Thousand Red Grotto to block the Sect Master for me?"

Ye Lin ignored Lin Muxi's coldness and strode toward her.

"What I want to do, I don't need to explain to you. Get lost!"

Lin Muxi's face was cold as frost.

Seeing Ye Lin still daring to approach, Lin Muxi didn't hesitate and struck Ye Lin with a palm.

Ye Lin was sent flying by this palm, crashing directly into the stone pillar behind him; that hard stone pillar was cracked with countless fissures.

Ye Lin slowly climbed up and walked toward Lin Muxi again.

"With your strength, wanting to kill me with one palm would be effortless, but you didn't; you held back."

A powerful possessive desire flowed in Ye Lin's eyes, like iron-clad cavalry charging into a crowd, instantly piercing Lin Muxi's psychological defense.

"Stop talking nonsense! Ye Xiehong, if you dare to be presumptuous again... I really will kill you..."

Lin Muxi spoke with less and less confidence, her tone gradually softening.

Because at this moment, Ye Lin was already very close to her; she could even hear Ye Lin's breathing, and their nose tips were almost touching.

Lin Muxi subconsciously pursed her petal-like red lips, prepared for a passionate kiss.

But at this moment, Ye Lin suddenly stepped back, opening the distance, leaving only the comically stunned Lin Muxi in place.

"Oh my, since the Wunian Hall Master really would kill me, then I'd better behave myself~" ===== CHAPTER 821 =====
