Chapter 199: Tit for Tat, Favorability Increases

This ray of light also possessed incredibly powerful sealing and devouring abilities, capable of instantly teleporting a person away.

This was also the trump card she and her master, Patriarch No Void, had agreed upon previously.

With this item, even those rogue immortals of one or two tribulations wouldn't be able to snatch people from her.

However...

Just as she thought her plan was a success, she was astonished to find that the unfailing light… had failed.

Lin Yu was still standing perfectly fine within the light, not having disappeared.

“You… how could you…”

Shangguan Yunxi showed a look of surprise for the first time.

She knew the grade of this spatial treasure; if she wanted to, she could even trap someone of Night Lingyun's caliber.

But she never expected it to fail on Lin Yu, who was only in the Faxiang Realm.

“Heh heh, woman, since you made a move, let’s return the favor!”

Seeing Shangguan Yunxi’s expression, Lin Yu’s lips curved upwards.

As soon as he finished speaking, his Rainbow Transformation Technique operated at full power, and his figure instantly vanished.

His realm was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Even Shangguan Yunxi’s senses couldn't keep up when his Rainbow Transformation Technique was fully activated.

“Slap!”

A crisp sound echoed in the quiet night sky.

“Hahahaha… Shangguan Yunxi, remember this, any woman I mark is forever mine, you… can’t escape!”

After that crisp sound, Lin Yu’s boisterous laughter came again.

Before the laughter faded, the sound gradually receded, eventually dissipating completely into the vast night.

And Lin Yu’s figure also vanished into the night sky!

Only Shangguan Yunxi remained, standing in a daze.

She slowly came back to her senses, reaching to touch her buttocks, where a stinging pain was radiating.

This sensation was so clear and real that it made her realize everything she had just experienced was not just a dream.

That Lin Yu actually… actually slapped her on such a sensitive and shameful part of her body.

A blush instantly appeared on her cheeks, which hadn't changed color for years.

And it was exceptionally hot.

“Why was he immune to my treasure’s absorption? Also, how strong is his true power?”

After the shame in her heart dissipated, she looked in the direction Lin Yu had left and murmured to herself.

For the first time, someone of her generation had completely surpassed her in strength.

Before this, she had always been a transcendent existence; even the Saint Sons of the immortal sects were far inferior to her.

In her opinion, there should be no one on the Eternal Continent who could surpass her.

Especially after coming to the Northern Frontier this time and unlocking the shackles in her heart, it had allowed her to make rapid progress.

Not to mention those of her generation, even within the entire immortal sect, only those old patriarchs could defeat her; the others were not worth mentioning.

But she never expected Lin Yu to completely suppress her like this.

And it was even when she had used her trapping treasure.

“Hmph, no matter how strong you are, the next time I see you, I will definitely defeat you! And wash away this shameful mark!”

She spoke to herself again.

At the same time, Lin Yu’s figure and that recent scene were deeply etched into her mind.

She would never forget Lin Yu’s last words.

She naturally knew what the so-called ‘mark’ was.

This scoundrel, not only did he act, but he also insulted her with his words.

He even treated her as his personal possession.

No matter how strong her mental fortitude, a hint of slight anger arose within her at this moment.

She absolutely had to erase this mark, or else it would leave a hidden danger in her Dao Heart.

After a cold snort, she looked again in the direction Lin Yu had disappeared, then turned and left.

She temporarily had no plans to return to the Central Region. She wanted to immediately go into seclusion to break through her current cultivation realm, and then challenge Lin Yu.

She didn't believe that with her talent, she couldn’t win back.

...

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have gained 20 favorability points from Shangguan Yunxi, the Daughter of the Plane. Task completion progress: 20%.】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for delaying Heaven’s Chosen Gu Ming’s trip to the Central Region. Gu Ming’s Luck Value -150 million, Host’s Cultivation Points +150 million.】

What the heck? This works too?

Lin Yu, who had already walked far away, couldn’t help but be a little stunned when he suddenly heard the system’s prompts.

He truly hadn’t expected Shangguan Yunxi to develop a favorable impression of him under such circumstances.

What he did could be considered frivolous, yet instead of raging, she gained 20 favorability points.

He had to say, this woman seemed to have a bit of a masochistic tendency.

“Next time I see her, I’ll definitely have to try again.”

Lin Yu shook his head, muttering to himself.

However, what surprised him the most was that he had inadvertently directly swindled Gu Ming of 150 million Luck Value.

This 'money' was truly easy to earn, with no technical skill required at all!

He merely patted Shangguan Yunxi’s backside, and it directly affected that guy’s luck.

And this prompt also made him realize that Shangguan Yunxi probably wouldn't be returning to the Central Region for a short period.

That little lass must have been a bit indignant after he patted her backside, waiting to get her revenge next time.

However, this also gave him an opportunity to experiment.

Lin Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and an unconscious curve lifted the corners of his mouth.

Now he didn’t even need to take the initiative; he could just wait for her to come to him.

Now that Shangguan Yunxi and Gu Ming were temporarily tied together, as long as Shangguan Yunxi was still around, Gu Ming couldn't escape either.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and headed out of the city.

He remembered that when he first came out of the Gu Breeding Ground, that place was sparsely populated and was a very suitable place for tribulation crossing.

While waiting for Ye Wanqing to merge with her body, he could also cultivate.

Currently, he had enough cultivation points, so he wasn't afraid of running out.

He could improve in multiple aspects.

Especially the Undying Body, this secret technique, which was his strongest life-saving ability, should also be upgraded.

Before, there were too many places where cultivation points were needed, so this big consumer was temporarily put aside.

But now there was no need for that concern.

...

However, what Lin Yu didn’t know was that...

Just after he left, a figure appeared out of thin air, landing exactly where he had just been.

“Heh heh, he really does run around a lot. This time I’ll follow by your side, let’s see where else you can run to!”

A voice sounded, carrying a hint of… triumph.

That’s right, triumph!

This person was none other than Dragon Qingyan, one of the three great magnates of the Central Region, who was in the Earth Immortal Realm.

The reason she was triumphant was entirely because she had clearly seen everything that happened with the Lingxiao Pavilion incident, but she chose not to act, instead observing from the shadows.

Regarding Lin Fei from before, although she had ideas, it hadn't reached the point where she would personally snatch him. Patriarch No Void also wouldn't tolerate her making a move.

So, she decided to wait and see.

Unexpectedly, she truly saw the whole truth.

Lin Yu, who had been disappearing from her senses, was indeed that Lin Fei; the two were the same person.

She personally saw Lin Yu go to the Hehuan Sect to secretly meet An Ruosu.
