Chapter 152

[Little Dragon Maiden was clearly shocked when she saw the Nine Yin Manual, because the Ancient Tomb's 'Wang Chongyang Inscriptions' contain parts of the Nine Yin Manual. She can't figure out why the Nine Yin Manual would be preserved in the Ancient Tomb.

Actually, that was secretly carved by Wang Wang Chongyang—a shameless old man using someone else's martial arts to put on airs.

Back then, Wang Wang Chongyang and the Ancient Tomb's founder, Lin Lin Chaoying, were a couple. Both were peerless in martial arts. Lin Lin Chaoying was strong-willed and unwilling to admit defeat, always wanting to win against Wang Wang Chongyang. Wang Wang Chongyang felt that as a man, if he were defeated by a woman, he would lose all face.

So every time their relationship was about to progress, they would always end up arguing and parting on bad terms.

Finally, the strong-willed Lin Lin Chaoying bet against Wang Wang Chongyang, writing on a stone wall, agreeing that if Wang Wang Chongyang lost, he would have to marry her or move out of the Ancient Tomb and become a monk.

Wang Wang Chongyang felt he couldn't write on a stone wall with flesh and blood. Lin Lin Chaoying won by cheating, but Wang Wang Chongyang felt he had lost face and would rather become a monk than marry Lin Lin Chaoying.

Lin Lin Chaoying was also a proud person. 'If you don't want to marry me, then I won't pester you.'

Thus, the two went their separate ways—one founded the Quanzhen Sect, the other the Ancient Tomb Sect. Although they were both on Mount Mount Zhongnan, they never saw each other again until death. Lin Lin Chaoying eventually died of a broken heart. A legendary heroine ending like this is truly sad and lamentable!

The Jade Maiden Sword Art created by Lin Lin Chaoying counters every move of Wang Wang Chongyang's Quanzhen Sword Art. Wang Wang Chongyang was unconvinced, so he left behind the Nine Yin Manual to show he was not weaker than others.

But he didn't know that although the Jade Maiden Sword Art counters the Quanzhen Sword Art everywhere, they also complement each other. Lin Lin Chaoying actually had another set, the Jade Maiden Heart-Linking Sword Art, and she poured her life's learning into this set of martial arts.

This sword art requires the man to use the Quanzhen Sword Art and the woman to use the Jade Maiden Sword Art, and the users must be a couple to unleash the maximum power of this sword art.

If they are not a couple, many of the exquisite nuances are difficult to grasp.

If the two cannot communicate their hearts, then when they join their swords, if they are friends, they are too polite; if they are elder and junior, they inevitably have to look after or rely on each other.

If they are husband and wife, although it is wonderful, the subtle affection, the bashfulness, the distance, and the anxiety of gain and loss are still a layer short.

From this, one can see Lin Lin Chaoying's feelings for Wang Wang Chongyang, but Wang Wang Chongyang only knew that 'Wang Chongyang is never weaker than others.'

Lin Lin Chaoying's death truly makes me regretful. She was peerless in beauty, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and capable in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting, yet she died of a broken heart in the Ancient Tomb.

My heart is unsettled, which is why I wrote so much without realizing it. I only hate that I arrived too late and couldn't live in the same era as her. Alas!

I'm not in the mood to write anymore. Let's stop here for today!]

Thinking of Lin Lin Chaoying, Lin Fan felt truly regretful. He wasn't even in the mood to look at the diary system's rewards and fell straight asleep.

"I didn't expect the little thief to like this Lin Lin Chaoying so much. But she sounds like a remarkable woman who dares to love and hate. If she were to serve the same husband as me, I could accept it."

Yaoyue was thoughtful when she saw this. From the lines, she could feel Lin Fan's regret and pity for Lin Lin Chaoying, which made Yaoyue feel a bit itchy, wishing she could meet her.

"It's a pity the beauty has passed away; we have no chance to meet her!"

Lianxing felt touched and also a bit regretful.

"So the ancestor and Wang Wang Chongyang had this history. But as descendants of the Ancient Tomb Sect, we know less about the Ancient Tomb than Lin Fan does. That's really embarrassing!"

Little Dragon Maiden sat up straight and muttered to herself.

"Junior sister, are you mistaken? You actually want to compete with my husband on who knows more about the Ancient Tomb? You have to know that he has all the great affairs of the world in his grasp."

Li Li Mochou couldn't help but roll her eyes.

[Diary owner Lin Fan has completed the diary check-in. Now beginning to draw diary rewards... Congratulations to Little Dragon Maiden for obtaining one chance at resurrection. Silently reciting the name of the deceased can bring the dead back to life. You can also recite your own name to reserve a resurrection chance, which will automatically trigger upon death.]

"What? Resurrection? There's such a thing? Diary copy, is there anything you can't do?"

All the heroines were stunned when they saw this. The diary copy actually had the ability to resurrect the dead; it was truly shocking.

"The resurrection chance is useless to me. But now there are two choices: one is the ancestor Lin Lin Chaoying, the other is our master. Senior sister, which one do you think I should choose?"

Little Dragon Maiden was confused. She didn't expect that she would be the one to receive the diary copy's reward, and even less that the reward would be the qualification for resurrection.

She didn't fear death, so she didn't plan to use it on herself, but there were two people she wanted to resurrect, and she didn't know how to choose.

The confused Little Dragon Maiden could only hope her senior sister would give her a suggestion.

"That would naturally be to resurrect the ancestor Lin Lin Chaoying!"

Li Li Mochou said without hesitation.

"Why? Although the ancestor is very important, our master treated us very well too!"

"First, naturally, it's because the husband wants to take the ancestor in. I can feel the husband's regret and pity for the ancestor's early death. As a thoughtful wife, I naturally have to plan for him!"

Li Li Mochou said righteously.

"Senior sister, you, you, you! You are rebellious! That is the ancestor! Do you have any sense of propriety or ethics left?"

"Making a fuss over nothing. As long as the ancestor herself is willing, why care about the eyes of others? I just want to make my husband happy!"

Li Li Mochou said things that shocked Little Dragon Maiden's worldview with indifference.

Li Li Mochou believed that love was giving without reservation; making Lin Fan happy made her feel happy.

"Absurd! The ancestor would absolutely not be willing!"

Little Dragon Maiden believed that Lin Lin Chaoying would either be faithful to Wang Wang Chongyang with feelings stronger than gold, or she would have cut off all emotions and would no longer talk about love with anyone else.

"That's for her to say!"

Li Li Mochou didn't care. There hadn't been a woman Lin Fan had his eye on who could run away—even the junior sister in front of her was the same; she would never be able to escape in this lifetime.

"You just said the first point. What about the second point?"

Li Li Mochou's firm expression made Little Dragon Maiden uneasy, so she stopped arguing and changed the subject.

"The second point is that this resurrection chance requires reciting the name of the deceased. Do you know our master's name? I certainly don't. And I heard Granny Sun say that our master was the ancestor's personal maid, and she only had a nickname for being called around. Even she herself didn't know what her name was. Granny Sun just called her 'Miss.' How are you going to resurrect her?"
