94: Chapter 94 Identity Misunderstanding, Causal Red Line

Chapter 94: Identity Misunderstanding, Karmic Red Thread

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

The voice was ethereal and completely directionless, as if it emanated from any corner of this void.

However.

Besides the surging Time River, there was nothing else, let alone a human figure.

Where… did the person go?

Lin Yu was a bit puzzled, his brows slightly furrowed.

Even if it was within the Time River, he should have been able to sense it.

But he found nothing.

He already had a faint judgment about the person who just spoke; it should be Luo Xingchen’s mother, Chu Xi, as the System mentioned.

She was also a character in his scenario mission.

“That’s great, it seems you can hear me. You truly are the one who made me sense something!”

Just as he frowned, the voice came again.

This time, however, it was clearer and had a sense of direction.

Lin Yu instantly looked towards the Time River.

Not far from the bank, there was a not-so-obvious whirlpool.

It looked like a newly formed whirlpool, and there was indeed a black dot inside.

And the voice came from within.

He hadn’t noticed it just now.

“Little friend, you’re right, I am indeed within that spatial-temporal whirlpool. However, don’t come over yet. Even if you have a Reincarnation Body, you’ll be washed into a pile of dry bones if you enter!”

The voice continued.

Moreover, it described Lin Yu’s physique with remarkable accuracy.

“Senior, you are…”

Lin Yu spoke for the first time.

He feigned a look of confusion.

He still didn’t know how strong this woman was, so he needed to be careful.

He couldn’t show too much.

As for entering the river, even without the warning, he wouldn’t easily go in.

Who knew how terrifying the spatial-temporal power contained within it was.

Furthermore, near the bank, there were also cracks; one wrong step and he might be sucked into some unknown space-time.

He didn’t want to fall in.

If he couldn’t find his way back, he’d be finished.

“My name is Chu Xi. What… is your name, where did you come from, and what… is your father’s name?”

Deep within the whirlpool, inside a transparent cover, a peerless beauty sat cross-legged.

As she asked this, a hint of recollection appeared in her expression.

And her heart couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Earlier, a sudden tremor arose deep within her, followed by a strong sense of bloodline connection.

This made her involuntarily send out a summons.

She knew what this meant.

As a member of the White Demon Clan, her bloodline was very special; she could sense members of her clan within a certain distance.

The closer the bloodline relationship, the stronger the sensing ability.

A sensing ability strong enough to initiate a summons could only be achieved by closest kin.

Therefore, seeing this young man, who was about the same age as her child, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Amidst the nervousness, there was also some anticipation.

If it weren’t for the sudden interruption of the summoning power, she could have completely confirmed it with that ability.

But, now it should still be correct; the age matched, and he came in not long after she sent out the summons.

At this moment, her eyes were even glistening with tears.

More than ten years ago, her vital essence was taken, although that man was unintentional.

But she still hated him deeply.

Because that one time not only took her purity but also almost severed her path of cultivation.

Moreover, after the White Demon Clan’s vital essence is first leaked, there will be a one-year period of weakness, during which no cultivation can be used, as if sealed.

And within this year, she gave birth to a child.

She originally didn’t want to give birth, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

But after giving birth, and with her cultivation recovered, she sent the child back to that man’s family, then left.

To seek the possibility of continuing her immortal path.

However, before leaving, she left her best possession for her child.

But she didn’t expect this departure to last over ten years.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go back, but she was trapped here and couldn’t return.

Her cultivation path was broken, and only in such extremely dangerous, uninhabited places was it possible to find a way to continue her path.

But danger is danger; it wouldn’t make an exception for her.

Her path wasn’t continued, and instead, she was trapped here for over ten years.

And this young man in front of her was very likely to be…

How could this not make her nervous?

However, to be safe, she still needed to confirm.

After all, for some unknown reason, the summoning power was interrupted just now, so there was still a possibility of an accident.

Hmm~~~

What does that mean?

Asking his name was one thing, but why was she asking about his father’s…

Wait, no!

Chu Xi’s questions initially left Lin Yu puzzled.

But suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of something.

This woman was Luo Xingchen’s birth mother; she must have sensed something before this.

It was only because his Karmic Rune took effect that this sensing was cut off.

Otherwise, this woman wouldn’t be reacting like this.

His eyes flickered, and his thoughts raced in his mind.

Chu Xi must have some misunderstanding now.

He might be able to use it.

Of course, being someone else’s son was not his style.

Otherwise, that scenario mission wouldn’t be completed.

But…

Thinking of this, he spoke:

“You are… Elder Sister Chu Xi! My name is Lin Yu, and I am Luo Xingchen’s Senior Brother.”

He immediately feigned a surprised and delighted expression.

As for the address, hehe… that was intentional.

What woman would like to be called old by others?

Coupled with the identity he deliberately fabricated, it would certainly prevent her from developing any ill will towards him.

Moreover, he still had a big move he hadn’t used.

“System, bind Chu Xi with the Karmic Red Thread.”

While speaking to Chu Xi, he directly used the last empty slot of the Karmic Red Thread in his mind.

This was a reward given to him by the System when it was first activated.

There were a total of two slots; the first was given to Fourth Master when his life was at stake, and he had no choice but to use it.

The other one had been kept until now.

Using it on Chu Xi also had a reason.

Firstly, this was the mother of Heavens Chosen; wanting to conquer her while also killing her son was simply a heavenly difficult task. Even if it could be done, who knew how long it would take?

This was not what he wanted.

Secondly, the System had just reminded him again that this woman was from the White Demon Clan, a great star-spanning clan.

Her clan was not on the Eternal Continent.

No one knew how she came here, but she would leave someday.

And her cultivation was also at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

She was on the same level as the most terrifying group of people on the Eternal Continent.

She was completely worth using this last chance on.

Moreover, even so, it only permanently increased favorability by 80 points and prevented her from doing anything to harm him.

To truly conquer her, he would still need to use some methods.
