Chapter 161: Look, What Is That?

Stroking Wang Chen’s small head and feeling the warmth and delicacy of her hand covering the back of his own, Lin Xun quickly lowered both hands from Wang Chen’s and Su Ying’s heads.

No longer receiving the head-pat, Wang Chen looked at Lin Xun with lingering attachment. Lin Xun avoided her gaze, not daring to look her in the eye.

At this moment, Su Ying also took a look, seeing the tenderness and guilt in her Senior Brother’s eyes for this Buddhist Maiden, then glanced at Ruo Wangchen, whose gaze never left her Senior Brother.

She didn’t know how this Saintess of the Bodhi Holy Land could have any connection with her Senior Brother.

Nor did she know why her Senior Brother would dote on her so much.

But the only person Senior Brother can dote on is me! I will never share Senior Brother with anyone! Every inch of Senior Brother’s body! Every single strand of hair is mine! No one shall take him away.

Ruo Wangchen of the Bodhi Holy Land.

“What are you thinking about again?”

Seeing Su Ying staring at Wang Chen, Lin Xun flicked Su Ying’s forehead.

“Nothing, Senior Brother. Ying-er just thinks Sister Wang Chen is so pretty; Ying-er likes her very much.”

“I also like… *cough, cough, cough*.”

When Lin Xun subconsciously started to say “I also like her,” Wang Chen’s clear eyes lit up, filled with joy.

Su Ying felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and even her cherry-pink eyes began to lose their luster.

However, Lin Xun eventually realized and interrupted his own sentence with a few coughs.

Not hearing the word “like,” a hint of disappointment appeared in Wang Chen’s eyes.

Su Ying’s eyes, which were on the verge of darkening, gradually regained their luster, but her inner vigilance grew even stronger; she had already labeled Ruo Wangchen as her number one enemy!

“Ying-er, once we leave the Secret Realm, I have some things to ask you regarding Miss Sikong and Nong Qin.”

Lin Xun sent a telepathic message to Su Ying’s heart lake.

‘As expected, did Senior Brother find out?’ Su Ying’s heart tightened slightly.

For Su Ying, she would rather betray the whole world and be hated by everyone than have her Senior Brother dislike her even a little bit!

When she was a child, Su Ying cared about many things, but as she grew up and spent time with Lin Xun, she cared about very little. In the end, it was nothing more than Lin Xun himself.

“Ying-er?” Seeing Su Ying dazed, Lin Xun knew that the attack on Miss Sikong and Nong Qin was definitely related to her.

“Mhm.” Su Ying smiled with curved eyes, as brilliant as summer cherry blossoms. “As long as it’s something Senior Brother asks, Su Ying will answer truthfully, because Su Ying belongs to Senior Brother.”

“…”

For a moment, Lin Xun, who originally had some blame and anger in his heart, didn’t know how to be angry after Su Ying said that.

Since back then, Lin Xun knew that all of Ying-er’s actions were for his sake, and she had resolved many issues for him, even managing his life in an orderly fashion.

Now that Miss Sikong and Nong Qin had been attacked, if it really was Ying-er’s intentional doing, it was most likely because of him.

How exactly should he handle this?

Just as Lin Xun was having a headache, amidst the crowd of nearly ten thousand Cultivators, She Qiqi raised her head, her vertical pupils narrowing slightly: “That’s about enough.”

She Qiqi took out a seed from her bosom, opened her fingers, and the seed fell to the ground.

When the green seed completely merged into this snowy plain, the entire plain began to vibrate violently!

“Wuuu wuuu… Ying ying ying…”

Above the sky of this white plain, a sound like a baby’s crying echoed, soul-stirring and carrying a sense of irritability, like a ginger cat being forcibly pulled out of its bed by its owner.

“What’s going on?”

“Is the monster coming?”

“Look, what is that?”

At this time, the Cultivators who had been offline for a long time came back online; their attention was no longer on Lin Xun.

Based on the brief exchange between Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang just now, they already knew that if they stepped forward, they would likely be pierced through by a single spear strike.

Unless Jiang Qingshang and Lin Xun fought to the death, allowing them to reap the benefits.

But they knew that given the current situation, Lin Xun had planted some unknown Love Gu in several Saintesses; with these Saintesses protecting him, a fight to the death was impossible.

*Boom!*

At that moment, a loud explosion rang out!

Not far away, those statues with three heads and six arms had awakened.

The statues swung their blades toward the crowd of nearly ten thousand, the massive blade light seemingly about to shatter the entire terrain!

The nearly ten thousand Cultivators scattered.

*Thud! Thud! Thud!*

Statues marched forward one by one.

“Roar!”

A Black Flood Dragon soared into the sky, firing a Hyper Beam at the crowd!

Cerberus, Manticore, Giant-Fanged Serpent, Nine-Headed Lust Serpent—one Demonic Beast after another, all at the Golden Core Realm, pounced toward the crowd!

“Saintess Highness!”

Fang Jianqiu and the others from Zilin Holy Land quickly returned to the Saintess’s side to prevent anything from happening to her.

Jiang Qingshang glanced at Fang Jianqiu but did not speak.

Beside Lin Xun, Su Ying and Lin Xun’s Shadow Guards had already protected their two masters. Not only that, but a bald, muscular man also stood in a boxing stance, guarding Lin Xun.

This muscular man was Gan Tian, Lin Xun’s fanboy.

The moment Lin Xun appeared, Gan Tian was so excited that he clenched his fists, his heart racing as if he had seen his idol; he quickly took out the “Quotations of His Highness” and read it several more times.

By now, the world was in chaos as nearly ten thousand Cultivators and Demonic Beasts or statues fought each other.

Seeing the circles of people surrounding him, Lin Xun was somewhat stunned; when did he become so heavily protected?

Then Lin Xun looked down and saw Zhu Ling holding her head and crouching in defense again.

She had stood bravely in front of him just now, but now she was so scared she wished she could bury her head in a hole; Lin Xun didn’t know if this girl was brave or cowardly.

“Don’t just crouch there.” Lin Xun picked up his long spear and lightly tapped her small head.

Zhu Ling’s eyes welled up with tears from the pain.

“Big Bad Guy! You only know how to hit my head! I’m already not that smart; what if I get even stupider, you Big Bad Guy!”

“Disperse. Just protect yourselves and leave this place alive; otherwise, you’ll only die faster,” Lin Xun ordered the Shadow Guards.

There were more and more Demonic Beasts, all at the Golden Core Realm. No matter how high their original Realms were, in this Secret Realm, they were only at the Dragon Gate Realm.

Protecting themselves was fine, but thinking of protecting others was undoubtedly like a person who had just learned to swim trying to save someone drowning in the sea.

The Shadow Guards looked at each other and finally knelt on one knee in salute.

“Yes!”

Just as the Shadow Guards dispersed, a Lava Behemoth charged toward Lin Xun, looking to initiate a fight.

Lin Xun simply raised his long spear, a flash of black light passed, and in an instant, not even the stone dust of the Lava Behemoth remained.

“Stay by my side and don’t stray even a step.”

Lin Xun said indifferently, looking at the distorted Void Realm in the sky.

He had a feeling that the Dominator of this Secret Realm was within that Void Realm!
