319: Let me tell you a story (two in one)

Lin Yang had already prepared to be killed and then use the red bean bracelet's Life-saving warp to escape, but the sudden cold aura and voice made him subconsciously open his eyes again.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a Silver-haired woman staring at him with a gaze he couldn't understand.

What shocked him even more was that whether it was Cang Miao, or that Gene Warrior, or even everyone else in the ship's cabin, they all remained motionless in various poses, as if frozen in place.

Even the energy beam that was about to shoot into his glabella was frozen half an inch from his glabella.

This greatly shocked Lin Yang!

"What's your name?"

The Silver-haired woman suddenly spoke.

"Lin Yang."

Lin Yang replied, then surprisingly found that he had not been frozen.

"Lin Yang?"

The Silver-haired woman repeated, a silver light flashing in her eyes, and with a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, an invisible force isolated the others around them, and she stared at Lin Yang, saying in a low voice:

"You have an aura on you that I am familiar with."

As she spoke, her jade hand waved again, and Lin Yang immediately felt his body uncontrollably move towards the Silver-haired woman.

In an instant, he was in front of the Silver-haired woman.

Lin Yang was greatly horrified in his heart.

The Silver-haired woman's methods were too astonishing!

And what did the Silver-haired woman say?

He had an aura on him that she was familiar with??

This made him feel inexplicable.

He could be sure that he had never met this Silver-haired woman.

However, before he had time to think further, he saw the Silver-haired woman reach out and make a gesture towards his chest from a distance, and his clothes instantly ripped open, revealing the bracelet he wore underneath.

Lin Yang was immediately shocked!

This bracelet was precisely the red bean bracelet that Maple had told him to carry with him!

The next instant, before he could even react, he saw the Silver-haired woman instantly take the red bean bracelet and hold it in her hand, staring at it unblinkingly.

This made Lin Yang pause again.

Didn't Maple say this bracelet could save his Life once?

Now, without even triggering the Life-saving warp, it had been taken by this Silver-haired woman!

This was too unreliable, wasn't it?

Lin Yang grumbled, noticing that the Silver-haired woman's gaze at the red bean bracelet was somewhat different.

It was a kind of...

Lin Yang found it hard to describe her gaze.

There was excitement, nostalgia, and also some sorrow and... killing intent!

"How did you obtain this bracelet?"

Suddenly, the Silver-haired woman withdrew her gaze and spoke coldly.

At the same time, a cold killing intent enveloped Lin Yang, making him feel a chill all over his body, and all his pores stood on end.

Lin Yang's scalp instantly tingled; he felt that if he didn't answer well, he might truly lose his Life here.

However, Maple had warned him not to mention their encounter to anyone, otherwise he would surely die.

He suspected that this Silver-haired woman was Maple's enemy, someone from that Extraordinary Universe Kingdom.

This made Lin Yang very depressed.

Maple had clearly said that no one from that Extraordinary Universe Kingdom, named Chu, had seen this bracelet, and he had also shielded his aura, yet now he was tracked here.

Wasn't this a huge joke?

This was simply a death trap!

To speak or not to speak, either way was basically death.

However, Lin Yang still wanted to take a chance, so after a pause, he slowly said: "I found it by accident."

"Found it? Hmph, do you take me for a three-year-old child?" The Silver-haired woman's gaze sharpened again.

"I did indeed obtain it by accident." Lin Yang spoke again.

His encounter with Maple was originally an accident, and Maple giving him the red bean bracelet was also an unexpected event he hadn't thought of, so he wasn't lying.

"Heh heh, an ordinary bracelet found by chance, worth keeping close to you?"

The Silver-haired woman sneered, a faint cold aura wrapping around Lin Yang's neck: "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth, otherwise, I'll let you know what it means to wish you were dead!"

Lin Yang also felt the chilling sensation on his neck, but he still said:

"What I said is indeed the truth. The reason why I keep this bracelet close to me is because the ornament on this bracelet is called a red bean, which is from my hometown."

"I have wandered in the vast Universe for a long time, longing day and night to return home. When I accidentally obtained something from my hometown, I naturally kept it carefully to express my homesickness, because it is just an ordinary red bean, and I was afraid it would break."

"Hmm? You recognize this red bean?" The Silver-haired woman seemed to be stunned upon hearing this, her gaze sweeping over the red bean bracelet, finally settling on Lin Yang.

Lin Yang nodded: "This is from my hometown, so of course I recognize it."

"Then, have you ever heard a poem about red beans?" The Silver-haired woman's eyes flickered slightly.

"A poem about red beans?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang inexplicably thought of some scenes from when he first met Maple and recognized the red bean bracelet.

It was somewhat similar to the present situation.

So, he once again recited that poem of longing.

"Red beans grow in the southern country, how many branches sprout in spring."

"May you gather more, this object is the most yearning."

...

"May you gather more, this object is the most yearning."

The Silver-haired woman also repeated it, looking at the red bean bracelet in her hand, her expression becoming extremely complex, and she whispered: "One red bean of longing, expressing endless yearning, Maple, you even lost the bracelet, where should I look for you..."

The Silver-haired woman gazed at the bracelet, falling into a long silence.

Maple?

Longing?

Hearing the Silver-haired woman's words, Lin Yang's expression shifted.

This situation seemed to indicate...

This Silver-haired woman didn't seem to be an enemy of that Extraordinary Universe Kingdom.

"Could it be that she's that old acquaintance Maple mentioned before?" Lin Yang began to let his thoughts wander.

Maple had said at the time that this red bean bracelet was given to him by an old acquaintance.

But Lin Yang could tell then that the old acquaintance in Maple's words was definitely not just an ordinary old friend; it should have been a lover.

Now, it seemed that this Silver-haired woman was most likely the one who gave Maple the red bean bracelet.

However, he couldn't be 100% sure.

And even if it was as he thought, and this woman was Maple's former lover, after so much time, who knew if anything had changed? Perhaps she was looking for Maple now to find out the whereabouts of that “Boundary.”

So, Lin Yang didn't speak rashly, but just quietly watched the Silver-haired woman lost in thought, gazing at the bracelet.

After a very long time.

The Silver-haired woman suddenly clutched the bracelet, her previous sorrow replaced by a cold killing intent, and she said in a low voice:

"Maple, I will find you, no matter where you are, whether in the highest heavens or the lowest hell."

"However, you even lost the bracelet, so you must have met with misfortune. But rest assured, I will avenge you, no matter who the enemy is!"

As her words fell, the Silver-haired woman suddenly looked up, staring coldly at Lin Yang: "Given that you've kept this bracelet safe, I won't kill you. Tell me, where did you accidentally find this bracelet!"

"Ah? This..."

Lin Yang hesitated.

From the Silver-haired woman's words, he could tell that her relationship with Maple was likely extraordinary.

Most likely, it was as he had guessed, she should be Maple's lover.

However, he still didn't quite dare to risk telling the truth.

He was hesitating whether to test the Silver-haired woman, but the Silver-haired woman's patience was clearly running thin, and she urged again: "Speak quickly!"

"In... in a starry sky. I can't explain the exact location. I was passing by at the time, and the bracelet was just floating there." Lin Yang said, half-truth, half-lie.

The highest realm of lying is ten truths and one lie.

At that time, what was floating was an ice coffin; he replaced the ice coffin with the bracelet. This mixture of truth and falsehood is the most difficult for people to discern.

"You're lying!" The Silver-haired woman, however, stared at Lin Yang, saying very coldly: "Since you said this bracelet has extraordinary significance to you, giving you a connection to your hometown in the vast Universe, how could you not clearly explain where you found it?"

"I..." Lin Yang's mouth opened slightly, wanting to explain.

But this time, the Silver-haired woman didn't give him a chance to speak. She suddenly reached out and slapped his head: "Forget it, I'll just look for myself. If you turn into an idiot, blame yourself for not telling the truth!"

Buzz!

But, the next instant, just as the Silver-haired woman's powerful hand slapped Lin Yang's head, an dazzling white light suddenly burst from the bracelet in the Silver-haired woman's hand, instantly enveloping Lin Yang.

Then, Lin Yang's body instantly disappeared from its original spot.

At the same time, the red bean bracelet also disappeared!

"Hmm? This is... Bloodline Protection?"

The Silver-haired woman's eyes first narrowed, then became excited: "Bloodline Protection, this kid really lied. Maple actually left a great warp Life-saving method to protect him. He must know Maple. This bracelet wasn't obtained by this kid; Maple must have given it to him!"

As she spoke, the woman's excitement grew even stronger. Although the bracelet also disappeared, she wasn't anxious at all. Instead, she looked at the spot where Lin Yang disappeared, and a silver glow appeared in her eyes.

The next instant, the Silver-haired woman's figure also instantly disappeared from her original spot.

Looking at the suddenly disappeared Lin Yang and the Silver-haired woman.

Everyone else in the ship's cabin looked at each other.

Because, although the Silver-haired woman had disappeared, they still couldn't move at all!

...

In a cosmic starry sky an unknown distance from the planet where Lin Yang had just disappeared, Lin Yang's figure suddenly appeared.

He was like someone thrown out, falling within the starry sky.

A sense of weightlessness instantly enveloped Lin Yang.

Along with the weightlessness came a sense of suffocation!

"Holy crap... I'm going to die..."

Lin Yang didn't even have time to think about anything else; only one thought remained in his mind.

Although just now, when the Silver-haired woman slapped his head, the red bean bracelet's Life-saving opportunity was inexplicably triggered.

But now that he was thrown into this cosmic starry sky, without even wearing a protective suit, he would suffocate and die within a few minutes, becoming a corpse in the Universe!

This made Lin Yang not know what to say anymore.

The events of today were excessively thrilling.

First, he was about to be killed by the Gene Warrior sent by that high-ranking individual from the fifth-level civilization, but the sudden appearance of the Silver-haired woman prevented him from triggering the red bean bracelet's Life-saving opportunity.

Although it saved one chance, the Silver-haired woman then attacked him.

Even though the red bean bracelet was snatched and not in his hand, it still triggered the Life-saving opportunity again.

However, even though the Life-saving opportunity was triggered, he would still die in the Universe now!

After all the twists and turns, he still couldn't escape the fate of death!

Lin Yang was ready to give up resisting.

In this vast Universe, before he suffocated, the possibility of encountering another passing spaceship and being rescued was almost infinitely close to zero.

"Eh, what's that...?"

However, the next instant, Lin Yang suddenly discovered that the red bean bracelet had also warped over with him.

This made him pause. Wasn't the red bean bracelet held in the Silver-haired woman's hand?

It actually warped over with him!

And what surprised him even more was that a misty halo suddenly emanated from the red bean bracelet, enveloping him.

The moment he was enveloped by the halo, the sense of weightlessness and suffocation instantly disappeared!

He could breathe again!

"This... I can live again??"

Lin Yang was a little dumbfounded.

At this moment, he couldn't find suitable words to express his feelings.

Dying one moment, living the next, this was a bit too convoluted!

But being able to live was always good.

Although, he might not live for many days.

After all, even if he wasn't suffocating, being alone in the Universe, without food or drink, he simply couldn't survive for more than a few days.

"This ridiculous Life!"

Lin Yang cursed silently.

"No, wait, I still have the system! Under normal circumstances, a person in the Universe wouldn't survive even if they could breathe, but I still have the system!"

Just after cursing, Lin Yang suddenly remembered that he still had the system's blessing.

Maybe he really could survive!

Then he prepared to communicate with the system.

However, before he could speak, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look beside him.

There, a dazzling light appeared.

The light flashed and disappeared.

When his vision returned to normal, the Silver-haired woman's figure reappeared within Lin Yang's sight.

"Nima..."

Lin Yang couldn't help but shiver in his heart.

This Silver-haired woman, with her mysterious origin and terrifying strength, had actually tracked him here too!!!

Silence!

Endless silence!

A million alpacas stampeded through Lin Yang's mind!

Was this seriously not playing with him?

Dying and living, how many times had this happened?

Could this still be played?

"..."

Looking at the Silver-haired woman's half-smile, Lin Yang silently cursed a million times in his heart before simply speaking up: "If you want to kill me, just kill me. Give me a quick death!"

"Hmm? Kill you? Who said I was going to kill you?" The Silver-haired woman said with a smile.

Now it was Lin Yang's turn to be stunned: "Not kill me? Didn't you just make a move on me?"

Even the red bean bracelet's Life-saving opportunity was triggered, which showed that the woman's action just now was definitely Life-threatening for him!

"Heh heh, let's not talk about what just happened. I ask you, have you met Maple? This bracelet shouldn't have been obtained by accident; he must have given it to you, right?"

The Silver-haired woman waved her hand, moving closer. Although it was a question, her tone was affirmative.

This made Lin Yang slightly startled. How would the Silver-haired woman know this?

As if seeing what he was thinking, the Silver-haired woman revealed a smile:

"Lin Yang, you don't have to worry. I won't attack you again, and it's even more impossible for me to kill you!"

Lin Yang was taken aback.

The Silver-haired woman then continued:

"You are someone Maple protected with Bloodline Protection using the bracelet. Clearly, your relationship with Maple is not ordinary. I will not harm someone Maple wants to protect. I am not an enemy; you can rest assured!"

"..." Lin Yang blinked, not speaking.

Although the Silver-haired woman's words sounded trustworthy.

He still needed to be more cautious!

Seeing this, the Silver-haired woman said nothing more, but suddenly sighed, turned around to look at the infinite starry sky, and said faintly:

"Let me tell you a story!"

"..."

Tell a story?

Lin Yang's expression became strange.

Again? (End of this chapter)
