Three days later
Over a thousand people stood in Stone Desert City's square. They were all preparing to relocate to Wutan City. They could also be considered the first members of God Extermination Hall!
Lin Yu stood on the high platform and looked at the people in the square, unable to help sighing.
"Alright, quiet down. To save time, you won't need to travel on foot to Wutan City this time. In a moment, I'll place you inside my space and take you there!" With that, Lin Yu activated his Sharingan.
The people in the square looked at one another. They did not really understand what entering a space meant.
"Don't resist!" As he spoke, Lin Yu focused his right eye, and a massive vortex formed.
Before long, everyone in the square was sucked into Lin Yu's Kamui Space.
After taking everyone in, Lin Yu covered his right eye and nearly fell over, only to be supported by Xiao Yi Xian beside him.
Lin Yu had not placed Qing Lin or Xiao Yi Xian into Kamui Space. Traveling alone really was lonely. (By lonely, I mean having no one to talk to... I know what you were thinking!)
Of course, there were also Zi Ying and the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. There was no way they were going to travel on foot!
Zi Ying: (╯'-')╯︵┻━┻
Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King: (ω`)
"Lin Yu, are you alright?!"
"Master, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin looked at Lin Yu worriedly.
Lin Yu waved his hand. "I'm fine. I just used up a bit too much Pupil Power. I'll be alright after resting for a while."
Once Lin Yu had recovered, the group rode Zi Ying toward Wutan City!
Xiao Yi Xian sat at the very front, followed by Qing Lin, then Lin Yu.
It was Qing Lin's first time flying so high. The moment they took off, she was terrified. She squeezed her eyes shut and wrapped her arms around Xiao Yi Xian's waist from behind.
Xiao Yi Xian teased Qing Lin, "So Qing Lin is this timid?"
Qing Lin did not refute her and continued holding tightly onto her waist.
"Don't be afraid. Are you planning to keep your eyes closed the whole way? The scenery along the way is beautiful! I'll hold you." Lin Yu lowered his voice as much as possible to help Qing Lin relax. He moved closer to her and held her waist.
Feeling Lin Yu's hand supporting her, Qing Lin immediately felt safe. Her eyes slowly opened as well.
But when she looked down, she was so frightened that she shut her eyes again.
Seeing her like that, Lin Yu could not help laughing. "Hehe... don't look down. Look into the distance."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Qing Lin opened her eyes and looked at the scenery far away. Her eyes widened in amazement.
"So beautiful..." Qing Lin murmured. She released Xiao Yi Xian's waist and rubbed her eyes. It was her first time overlooking the scenery from above, so everything felt novel.
She simply lay back in Lin Yu's arms to watch.
Master's embrace is so warm...
As she watched, she fell asleep...
Seeing Qing Lin asleep in his arms, Lin Yu rested her head against his chest and wrapped both arms around her, letting her sleep more comfortably.
"Lin Yu, can you tell me about your past?" Xiao Yi Xian's voice sounded.
Lin Yu was a little startled. "Oh? Why ask about that all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to know. If it's inconvenient for you..."
Before Xiao Yi Xian could finish, Lin Yu said, "It's nothing. My past isn't that big of a deal."
"Back then, I was also the young master of a wealthy family. I had my parents with me, and life was quite comfortable. But later, something happened to my family. Everyone in my family except me died."
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have..." Xiao Yi Xian felt a little embarrassed. Although her back was to Lin Yu, her guilt was obvious.
"Master! You still have Qing Lin!" Qing Lin suddenly spoke, looking at Lin Yu with a serious expression.
Lin Yu found it rather amusing and pinched Qing Lin's nose. "Alright! Master still has you!"
Then, looking at Xiao Yi Xian's back, he said, "You don't need to blame yourself. I chose to tell you, and I let it go long ago. When I met her, I had already let it go..." Lin Yu's final sentence was very quiet.
But both Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin heard it.
"She... is she yours?" Xiao Yi Xian was curious. She had never heard Lin Yu mention her before.
"She's the woman I... need to protect!" Lin Yu had originally wanted to say "my woman," but after all, she was not yet, right?
"When we get to Wutan City, I'll take you to meet her. I hope she's still there..." Lin Yu said with a smile.
Xiao Yi Xian fell silent. She said nothing and stroked the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in her arms.
"Alright, alright! She must be Master's wife!" Qing Lin said with a smile.
Lin Yu smiled. "Hehe... yes, that's right. She's your Master's wife!"
Qing Lin: ≧≦ I have a Master's wife!
Wutan City
Xiao Family Compound
"Little Yu, you're back! How could you leave without saying goodbye? After you left, Xun'er held a hairpin every day and sat there staring into space by herself!" Seeing Lin Yu return, Xiao Zhan was happy, but he also looked at him reproachfully.
"Uncle Xiao Zhan, Xun'er, she..." Lin Yu hesitated, feeling that leaving without saying goodbye had indeed been improper.
"Don't worry, Xun'er is fine. How long will you be staying this time?" Xiao Zhan knew Lin Yu would not remain long. How could an expert like Lin Yu stay in a tiny place like Wutan City? His stage should be in the Central Plains!
"Uncle Xiao Zhan, I have some matters to handle this time, so I won't be staying long..."
"Brother Lin Yu!"
A clear voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Yu turned toward the voice and saw the person he had dreamed of seeing.
"Xun'er..."
Tears welled in Xiao Xun'er's eyes as she ran toward Lin Yu and threw herself directly into his arms. The longing of the past half year surged forth in that moment of reunion.
Lin Yu held Xiao Xun'er. Neither of them spoke, simply enjoying the peace of this moment.
Lin Yu stroked Xiao Xun'er's soft hair and said gently, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye."
Xiao Xun'er said nothing, which made Lin Yu feel even more guilty. His arms tightened around her.
Then Xiao Xun'er broke free from Lin Yu's embrace and stared straight at him with her clear, watery eyes.
Afterward, Xiao Xun'er slowly closed her eyes and pressed her soft lips against Lin Yu's slightly dry ones.
No one around them stepped forward to disturb them. They simply waited quietly, leaving this long-awaited reunion to them.
When golden wind meets jade dew, it outshines countless mortal encounters.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Xiao Xun'er noticed everyone's gazes and immediately blushed, burrowing into Lin Yu's arms.
"Brother Lin Yu, can you take me with you next time you leave?" Xiao Xun'er asked coyly from his embrace.
Xiao Xun'er had originally not wanted to disturb Lin Yu, but she realized that she could no longer bear being apart from him.
Lin Yu gently patted Xiao Xun'er's back. "Alright! I'll definitely take you with me next time."
Now that Lin Yu had Kamui Space, if they encountered danger, he could simply place Xiao Xun'er inside it. That way, he would not have to worry about her being harmed.
"Ahem..." Xiao Zhan finally spoke. They had been given enough time, and there were so many people here. They could not all just wait for them.
Lin Yu and Xiao Xun'er were rather embarrassed. Reluctantly, they left each other's embrace. Xiao Xun'er still held Lin Yu's arm as she had before.
"Little Yu, what business brought you back this time?" Xiao Zhan steered the conversation back to the main topic.
"I mainly came back this time to establish a force!"
"A force? Little Yu, you want to...?" Xiao Zhan asked in confusion.
"There's no rush. I'll explain everything in detail when it is established!" Lin Yu intended to keep it a mystery.
"Let me introduce my friends!" Lin Yu led Xiao Xun'er to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Her name is Xiao Yi Xian. She is my friend." Then he said to Xiao Yi Xian, "Her name is Xiao Xun'er. She is the person I need to protect."
Xiao Yi Xian felt a little uncomfortable. She had been by Lin Yu's side throughout their journey. What if Xiao Xun'er misunderstood? Qing Lin could be explained as his disciple, but Xiao Yi Xian...
Hearing Lin Yu's words, warmth filled Xiao Xun'er's heart, and the smile on her face deepened.
Xiao Xun'er did not think too much about Xiao Yi Xian. Since Lin Yu said she was a friend, then she was a friend. She trusted him.
Xiao Xun'er naturally greeted Xiao Yi Xian. Xiao Yi Xian returned the greeting somewhat awkwardly.
Then Lin Yu went to Qing Lin and rubbed her head with a smile. "Her name is Qing Lin. She is my disciple." Then he said to Qing Lin, "This is your Master's wife!"
The moment Xiao Xun'er heard that, her pretty face reddened. She glared at Lin Yu resentfully and twisted the flesh at his waist.
Lin Yu winced in pain and looked at Xiao Xun'er innocently.
Qing Lin said timidly, "Master's wife... hello..." Master liking her did not mean his wife would not dislike her. If she made Master's wife angry, Master would surely abandon her...
Seeing Qing Lin's appearance, Xiao Xun'er was delighted. She released Lin Yu's arm and began kneading Qing Lin's cheeks with both hands.
"Qing Lin is so cute! I think your Master only accepted you as his disciple because you're pretty. He'll raise you up, then eat you!" Xiao Xun'er teased Qing Lin.
Lin Yu's mouth twitched. Why does everyone see me that way? Am I that kind of person?
"Ah? Master wants to eat me?" Qing Lin was a little frightened by Xiao Xun'er's words. She thought "eat" meant Lin Yu wanted to eat her flesh. She secretly glanced at Lin Yu, then pinched the flesh on her own arm.
Seeing Qing Lin like that, Xiao Xun'er liked her even more. She kneaded Qing Lin's cheeks and said righteously, "Don't worry, I'll protect you. I definitely won't let your Master eat you."
Qing Lin stared blankly at Xiao Xun'er. It seemed that Master's wife did not dislike Qing Lin.
