Chapter 245: 133. Putting black silk on Master again! I really love her! Triumphant Return! _3
Thus, as long as this agent, Yuanyi, is dead, the true mastermind, the Sky Yin Blood Demon, will have no way to contact the Eight Great Demon Sects before breaking his seal!
Then I can seize the initiative, like Lord Zhuge in my previous life, sit firmly within my sect, defeat them one by one, and cleverly repel five armies without losing a single soldier!
"Today, in the Sect Master's Hall, I have already analyzed the pros and cons very clearly. Sect Master Niu, what are you still hesitating about?"
"Evil has never triumphed over righteousness! Joining the Demon Sect and bringing disaster to the world is a path to ruin!"
Lin Xiao continued.
"I... I can agree, Immortal Lin!"
After pondering for a long while, Niu Batian finally gritted his teeth and said, "But! Immortal Lin, you must also promise me to temporarily spare Ye Chen this time! I don't want the world to laugh at me!"
After speaking, he added, "Immortal Lin, rest assured! Today, I have seen Ye Chen's despicable nature clearly! In the future... if he falls into your hands again, it will have nothing to do with me!"
"Alright, my Master doesn't need to state her position on this. I, Lin Xiao, will agree to it on her behalf!"
"I can spare Ye Chen's miserable life!"
Lin Xiao nodded readily.
He secretly sighed, wondering when he would next catch Ye Chen.
In fact, he had agonized over this for a long time.
Should he kill Ye Chen, or agree to Niu Batian's request to spare Ye Chen's life in exchange for eliminating Yuanyi?
In the end, he chose the latter.
On one hand, Ye Chen's current luck value was still largely in the blue tier. If he were to forcefully eliminate him, he might indeed suffer some kind of backlash.
It would be better to keep him alive and slowly exploit him.
After all, with his level of intelligence, without Old Shi, he's just a comical clown.
On the other hand, that old fox Yuanyi was incredibly scheming, and his machinations ran exceedingly deep. Not only that, but his connections and reputation within the Qinglan Sect were also excellent.
Lin Xiao could imagine that if he actually went to the Six Holy Beings or the Sect Leader to expose Yuanyi as a member of the Demon Sect, he would likely be accused of maliciously slandering a sect elder and be sent to the Enforcement Hall.
Forget it, let it be settled this way.
This way, everything is more or less proceeding according to my plan...
Lin Xiao firmed his resolve and thought no more of it.
「 」
After reaching an agreement with Niu Batian, Lin Xiao declined the luxurious demonic beast convoy offered by the other party. He, along with his Master and Little Junior Sister, rode in the same carriage they had arrived in, planning to return to Beacon City and reunite with Ye Xuan'er before dawn.
Inside the carriage.
Watching his Little Junior Sister, Lu Yingying, constantly snuggling against him, Lin Xiao couldn't help but give a wry smile. "You, little minx, are getting clingier and clingier."
"Eldest Senior Brother, the way you verbally sparred with all those fiends today... was so captivating! Yingying adores you to death!"
Lu Yingying lay on Lin Xiao's lap, her smile like a blooming flower. After speaking, she didn't forget to plant a fragrant kiss on his cheek.
"Alright, alright, go get some sleep. You've never traveled far from home before, and this journey has been tiring. It's been hard on you, little one."
Lin Xiao gently stroked the ends of the young girl's hair with affection.
Putting aside this girl's strange quirks, she had indeed volunteered to follow Master and cross most of the Eastern Region to this desolate place out of genuine concern for him.
It was truly touching.
Sigh, I've been delayed by two days. I wonder how Youwei and Yurong are doing? Are they worried about me?
Oh, and Junior Sister Wanning...
Thinking of that beautiful young woman in the Secret Realm, dressed in a phoenix crown and rosy cape, who had shyly gone through the wedding rites and entered the bridal chamber with him, Lin Xiao felt a deep sense of longing, his heart thumping in his chest.
Sigh, am I being too fickle... Bah, I mean, a little too sentimental?
His thoughts were wandering when, suddenly, he felt a soft, smooth, and tender sensation in his palm.
He instinctively closed his hand around it and found the feeling exquisite!
It was a perfect handful, capable of being molded into various shapes!
His heart jolted, and he lowered his head.
He saw that his Little Junior Sister Lu Yingying's collar was wide open, revealing snowy white skin like that of a girl from a two-dimensional anime.
Not only that, but she had also guided his hand to...
"What are you doing! Stop fooling around!"
Lin Xiao's heart trembled, and he quickly moved the little girl away.
Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.
A cool yet dignified voice sounded from outside, "Yingying, go drive the carriage and manage the Spirit Steeds. I, your Master, have something to ask your Eldest Senior Brother."
"Ah? Oh! Yes, Master!"
Lu Yingying readily agreed. Before stepping out of the carriage, her face flushed red, she glanced at her Eldest Senior Brother and giggled coquettishly, "My dearest Eldest Senior Brother, just now... was it comfortable?"
"Alright! Just get out now!"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.
After Lu Yingying exited the carriage, a wave of floral and wine fragrance wafted in, followed by a tall, graceful, and utterly perfect figure slipping inside.
"Master..."
Lin Xiao called out, voluntarily moving to one side.
Xiao Hongling bent her shapely legs, intending to sit beside her beloved disciple, but then, as if remembering something, she sat opposite him instead. "Now, I, your Master, want to ask you: what exactly did you discuss with Niu Batian? And that damned little thief Ye Chen, are you really content to just let him go like that?"
"Mm, I knew Master would ask."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, "Master, your disciple rarely speaks to you with such gravity. What I can reveal now is that seven days from now, Niu Batian will come to the Qinglan Sect to pay his respects. At that time, a grand show will unfold. Then, Master, you will naturally understand your disciple's true plan."
"Until then, please forgive your disciple, Master! For certain reasons, I cannot disclose any more!"
"TSK. You brat, you've said so much, yet it's as if you've said nothing at all."
Xiao Hongling pouted. "Fine. Since you've set it for seven days from now, I, your Master, can wait. However..."
As she spoke, a hint of worry crept into her voice, "But why did Niu Batian set it for seven days later? Aren't you afraid he'll go back on his word?"
Lin Xiao chuckled. "Let me ask Master, would a man who profits from breaking his word risk his life to repay a kindness?"
"Ah... that's true, I suppose." Xiao Hongling's phoenix eyes glinted thoughtfully as she nodded.
"Sigh, Master, don't just question me—"
At such a delicate proximity, with her intoxicating body fragrance filling his senses, Lin Xiao found it impossible to sit still. He proactively moved to sit beside his Master. "Master, in Niu Batian's main hall earlier, you clearly stood up, ready to kill Ye Chen. Why did you then so easily heed your disciple's persuasion and give up?"
"HMPH."
Hearing this, Xiao Hongling let out a delicate hmph. Her incomparably beautiful face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her head away. "You stinky brat, figure it out... yourself!"
"Hm?"
Lin Xiao paused, slightly stunned. Seeing the change in her expression, he instantly understood!
That's it!
Because before going to Evil Wind Ridge, on the road to Nightfall Town, he, Lin Xiao, had constantly emphasized his plan!
And his revered Master, although she didn't know what the plan was, had unconditionally assisted him throughout!
So...
Back then in the main hall, she never intended to act rashly and ruin his plan. Instead, she wanted to help him, to force Niu Batian into submission!
Heavens, is there any woman in this world cuter or who dotes on me more than her?
Absolutely not!
Damn it, I truly... adore this woman so much!
At this moment, gazing at his beautiful Master before him—her cheeks slightly flushed, her fair, proud, and tender bosom heaving unevenly due to nervousness—Lin Xiao could no longer suppress the "filial piety" surging in his heart!
Suddenly, in a reckless move, he half-knelt, reached under his Master's skirt, and supported her pair of incomparably fair and beautiful legs!
Then, catching her unawares, he swiftly removed her exquisite jade-like shoes...
A pair of translucent, snow-white, delicate feet with perfectly curved arches were suddenly revealed!
As a faint scent of fragrant perspiration, mingled with the floral and wine aroma, assailed his nostrils, Lin Xiao instinctively pressed his cheek against her full yet slender calves.
Heavens! This feels too good! It's still that same sensation!
"AH~"
Meanwhile, Xiao Hongling, suddenly affronted by her beloved disciple, was caught completely off guard. Her stunningly beautiful face flushed an even deeper red, her vermillion lips parted slightly, and she let out a coquettish gasp utterly at odds with her usually domineering and incisive personality!
Master's sensitive spot is indeed her feet!
Since he had already "courted death" to this extent, Lin Xiao threw caution to the wind and made his invitation, "Master, tonight..."
"Allow your disciple to show his 'filial piety' and help you put on those black silk stockings again? May I?"
