Chapter 476: So You Are Lin Xun… “Taking something? What is it?”

Lin Xun looked at Chu Yaoyao with a hint of surprise.

“Actually, it’s nothing much, just a hairpin.”

Chu Yaoyao took a hairpin out from her sleeve.

“This hairpin was left behind by my mother back then and had been lost for a long time. Now that I’ve come to the Demon Race World, I’ve finally found it.

So, I would like to ask Young Master Lin to pass this hairpin to Yaya…”

Looking at the golden hairpin in Chu Yaoyao’s hand, which was designed with a fox tassel…

Lin Xun did not refuse and accepted it.

Perhaps, in this young girl’s view, she might die out there. So, rather than letting that happen, it was better to send this hairpin into Yaya’s hands.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely deliver it to Yaya. Do you have anything else you want me to tell her?”

Chu Yaoyao gave a slight smile, then took out a letter and handed it to Lin Xun:

“There is also a letter. This letter was written by my own hand, and it contains things I want to say to Yaya. I’ll have to trouble Young Master Lin to help deliver this letter as well.”

“Mhm.” Lin Xun nodded and accepted the letter.

“Does Miss Chu really want to contend for this world?”

Looking at Chu Yaoyao, Lin Xun originally didn’t want to ask this question, but in the end, he felt he had to ask it.

“Yes.”

Chu Yaoyao looked at Lin Xun and gave a slight smile.

“Since I am the princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, I should shoulder this heavy responsibility.

However, it’s enough for me to bear all of this; I will settle it myself.

I hope my sister never restores her true form and never recalls the events of the past.”

“In that case, it’s not my place to say anything more…”

Lin Xun spoke softly with a hint of regret.

“Do you remember that amulet I gave you back then? Does Miss Chu still have it?”

“Of course.”

Chu Yaoyao nodded and then slightly unbuttoned her collar.

From within her collar, the young girl lifted the amulet, which still carried the faint warmth of her body.

“I keep everything Young Master has given me with me at all times.”

“Very good.”

Lin Xun nodded and shifted his gaze away somewhat awkwardly.

Having the item he gave her kept so close to her skin gave Lin Xun a strange feeling.

“You must keep this amulet safe and sound; whatever you do, don’t lose it.

When your life is in danger, it will activate.

If one day you grow weary of this kind of life, you can also burn it.

This amulet actually contains a spatial Magic Formation.

When the time comes, you can return to the Myriad Laws World, back to that courtyard of mine.”

Hearing Lin Xun finish, Chu Yaoyao looked at the amulet in her hand with some surprise.

In Chu Yaoyao’s impression, she had thought this amulet was merely a blessing Lin Xun had given her.

But she hadn’t expected this amulet to have such a great use.

To be able to teleport across the vast distance of two worlds… this was already considered a supreme treasure… Actually, there was one more thing Lin Xun didn’t tell Chu Yaoyao.

That was the deal Lin Xun had made with She Qiqi.

As long as nothing happened to Chu Yaoyao and she remained safe,

then in other aspects, She Qiqi could do whatever she wanted.

So no matter what, Chu Yaoyao would not die.

However, although Chu Yaoyao wouldn’t die, Lin Xun didn’t know how She Qiqi would scheme against Chu Yaoyao’s army.

Finally, Lin Xun also asked some questions about what had happened to Chu Yaoyao over these years.

Chu Yaoyao said that these years had been nothing more than her running around in various ways.

Persuading some tribes to support her, and gathering the old remnants of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan.

Among them, many tribes were still loyal to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan’s royal family.

These tribes had been building up their strength, just waiting for Chu Yaoyao to raise an army.

Of course, there were also many tribes that did not recognize Chu Yaoyao, feeling that she was not up to the task.

Although Chu Yaoyao spoke very lightly and with a smile throughout this process,

Lin Xun could sense it.

Running around in all these different aspects, it certainly must not have been easy for Chu Yaoyao.

The bitterness and hardships involved were perhaps something only Chu Yaoyao herself knew.

Although some said that Chu Yaoyao’s current achievements were largely due to Lei Luo’s planning,

in Lin Xun’s view, without the girl’s persistence and various efforts, Lei Luo’s planning alone would have been far from enough.

“Actually, if it were my sister, perhaps she would have done much better than me!”

When Chu Yaoyao finished speaking, she lowered her head, her hands cupping the teacup as she spoke softly.

At this moment, a flash of loneliness passed through Chu Yaoyao’s eyes.

Lin Xun also had some understanding of Chu Yaoyao’s sister,

namely Chu Jiutao.

Indeed, it had to be said.

When Chu Yaoyao went to find the old remnants of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, many tribes chose not to follow because the person was Chu Yaoyao and not Chu Jiutao.

If it were Chu Jiutao, the current situation would perhaps be much stronger than Chu Yaoyao’s.

If it were Chu Jiutao, even She Qiqi would have had to treat the situation with serious attention.

“Young Master Lin… in your opinion, am I really not very suited for this path?”

Chu Yaoyao raised her head and looked at Lin Xun earnestly.

The girl seemed to be seeking Lin Xun’s acknowledgment, but also his honest opinion… “Perhaps so…”

Lin Xun did not try to comfort Chu Yaoyao with anything.

In Lin Xun’s view, his comfort was unnecessary for Chu Yaoyao.

Chu Yaoyao certainly knew she wasn’t suited for this path.

But for her to ask this now meant she just wanted to find someone to talk to, to chat a bit more.

Chu Yaoyao was sharing her inner thoughts.

If he intentionally deceived her or comforted her,

then… that was definitely not what she wanted.

“Although I don’t know much about your sister, if it were her, things might indeed be different now.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s answer, Chu Yaoyao slightly lowered her eyelashes.

“But…”

Lin Xun looked at Chu Yaoyao seriously.

“But I think Miss Chu, you have already worked very hard.

Leading an army and fighting is not something everyone can do to begin with.

However, Miss Chu, you have indeed done very well now.

I think even if your sister saw it, she would give you a word of praise… So… no matter what others say, and no matter how that fellow She Qiqi ridicules you,

at least… in my heart, you have already done very well.

Even if it really ends in failure, it doesn’t matter. In fact, in my view, there’s no need for you to bear such a responsibility at all.

If you don’t truly want to restore the kingdom, then what do the mistakes of the previous Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox dynasty have to do with you two sisters?

The mistakes of the previous dynasty perhaps don’t need to be paid for by you two sisters at all.

You should have your own lives and choose your own paths.”

“Young Master Lin really is cunning!”

When Lin Xun finished speaking, Chu Yaoyao raised her head and gave him a smile with curved eyes.

This smile made Lin Xun freeze for a moment.

However, Lin Xun couldn’t quite figure it out; he was clearly telling the truth, so how was he being cunning?

“Alright, after meeting with Young Master Lin today, the things that needed to be explained have been explained.

Please rest assured, Young Master. Once the matters in the Demon Race World have settled down, I will definitely go to the Myriad Laws World to see Yaya and Young Master Lin.

As for reviving the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, it’s actually not just because of responsibility.

I indeed have some thoughts of doing so myself.

If I must give a reason, then perhaps… I still don’t really want to lose to She Qiqi.”

“???”

Lin Xun didn’t quite understand Chu Yaoyao’s meaning and looked at her in confusion.

“Alright, let’s end it here for today. Young Master Lin should be careful on the way back.

And I won’t tell Qinger about today’s matter.

Of course, if I’m able to see Qinger in the future.”

Hearing the other party’s dismissal, Lin Xun couldn’t say much. He could only stand up, bow with his hands clasped, and then turn to leave.

Watching Lin Xun’s departing back, Chu Yaoyao stood up.

She wanted to follow, but in the end, she stopped herself.

It wasn’t until Lin Xun’s back had disappeared from She Qiqi’s sight for a long time

that Chu Yaoyao slowly regained her senses and sat down on the stool.

Early the next morning, Lin Xun left Xuanfeng City.

Lin Xun first went to Xuejiang Prefecture to say goodbye to Yue’er and gave her some instructions regarding cultivation precautions.

After saying goodbye, Lin Xun was to return to the Myriad Laws World.

She Qiqi didn’t say anything about Lin Xun’s departure.

This was something She Qiqi had expected all along.

However, She Qiqi still insisted on seeing Lin Xun off for a part of the way, and Lin Xun did not refuse.

“If I could, I would actually like to stay and see.

See what point you and Chu Yaoyao will eventually reach.

Just what kind of state will the Ten Thousand Demon Country be tossed into by you?”

Standing on the mountain peak, Lin Xun looked out over the vast and boundless land, unable to help but feel a sense of emotion.

Lin Xun could foresee that within the next hundred years,

this land of the Demon Race World would be filled with various wars.

And war meant the people would suffer.

Regarding everything She Qiqi was doing, Lin Xun wasn’t in a position to say much.

After a war, either the world becomes better, or it becomes worse.

The rights and wrongs would have to be judged by those who come after.

“If you really want to know, I can have someone write to you every month about what happens.

As for the mailing address, let’s have it sent to that little house of yours in Luo City. What do you think?”

Lin Xun rolled his eyes at She Qiqi: “I think it’s better not to… In case you write something strange to me and it gets discovered by Qinger, I’ll be finished.”

“Honestly… husband has a wife in the Myriad Laws World and me in the Demon Race World.

We are clearly equal wives; could it be I’m not as important as her?”

She Qiqi pouted her small mouth, looking very aggrieved.

Lin Xun gave an unceremonious laugh: “Of course you aren’t as important as her.”

With those words, Lin Xun disappeared from the spot.

By the time She Qiqi looked up, his figure was already gradually vanishing into the horizon.

“When I push that father of mine off the throne, I’ll notify you to come and watch the show!”

Looking at Lin Xun’s back, She Qiqi called out softly.

“You must come then; it will definitely be very exciting…”

Lin Xun, who was disappearing into the horizon, gave no response.

However, She Qiqi already knew that his lack of response meant tacit consent.

More than half a month passed, and Lin Xun, after traveling through the Void Realm for a long time, finally made his way back to the Myriad Laws World.

Feeling the aura of the Myriad Laws World, Lin Xun felt that the spiritual energy here was much more comfortable than in the Demon Race World.

Lin Xun didn’t rush back to the Qianye Continent immediately.

The first thing he did upon returning to the Myriad Laws World was to quickly head to the Desolate Territory on the other side.

Back at She Qiqi’s manor, Lin Xun had used the various divination materials she provided to cast a fortune.

Although the result was that Honeysuckle’s life was not in danger,

Lin Xun was still very uneasy.

He didn’t know if Honeysuckle had left the Desolate Territory or what had happened… so Lin Xun planned to go back to that place and take a look.

He arrived once more at that small border town.

This small town was exactly as it was when he left, without any change.

It seemed that no matter how many years passed, this small town would always look like this.

At the Hunters’ Guild, Lin Xun went to ask the girl in charge of various tasks.

He asked if Honeysuckle had returned.

The girl at the reception said she didn’t know either.

However, she told Lin Xun that Honeysuckle hadn’t taken any tasks for a long time.

Hearing this, Lin Xun’s heart skipped a beat.

After asking about where Honeysuckle lived, Lin Xun headed to her courtyard.

Lin Xun had heard Honeysuckle mention it before.

In the courtyard where she lived, there was also her grandfather… However, when Lin Xun reached Honeysuckle’s courtyard according to the address and knocked, there was no response.

Opening the door, Lin Xun found that there was no one inside.

Lin Xun asked a neighbor next door.

“Oh, you mean Honeysuckle’s grandfather… That girl Honeysuckle came back once and took her grandfather away, saying she was taking him somewhere to treat his illness.

Eh? By the way, young man… what was your name again?”

“Uh… Auntie, my name is Lin Xun…”

“Lin Xun, which ‘Lin’? Which ‘Xun’?”

Hearing the auntie ask this, Lin Xun knew there must be something.

“The ‘Lin’ of forest, and the ‘Xun’ of searching…”

“Oh, so you are Lin Xun… When that little girl Honeysuckle moved away, she specifically told me.

If a young man named Lin Xun came looking for her, I should give him this letter.

Wait a moment, I’ll go get that letter for you.”

Not long after, this auntie brought a letter and handed it to Lin Xun.

In the courtyard, Lin Xun tore open the envelope…
