Chapter 322: Take Care, Young Master Lin

“Hmm???”

When Mo Wenwen said those words, Lin Xun turned his head.

Lin Xun didn’t quite react in time.

This was the first time Mo Wenwen had taken the initiative to ask him a question.

“It’s nothing, just curiosity,” Mo Wenwen said, shaking her head. “Apologies, I misspoke. You can rest assured, Young Master Lin; I will deliver the Yin and Yang Creation Pill when the time comes.”

Actually, Lin Xun felt that if she wanted to know, he would have told her, but since she said never mind, there was no need.

“Thank you,” Lin Xun expressed his gratitude. Finally, he sprinkled chili powder on the roasted rabbit, tore off a leg, and gave it to Mo Wenwen.

Mo Wenwen did not refuse.

After finishing the roasted rabbit, the two began to process the Black Flood Dragon, which was now thoroughly dead.

Standing before the Black Flood Dragon that had died suddenly, both Lin Xun’s and Mo Wenwen’s eyes wandered slightly.

After all, the accident between them had happened because of this Black Flood Dragon.

No matter how they explained things to each other, what happened had happened.

It was impossible to say they had completely forgotten about it.

For the impact of this accident to truly vanish, perhaps more time was needed for things to settle.

For Mo Wenwen, perhaps one day she would truly reach the stage of “Supreme Detachment from Emotion” in her cultivation.

Then, when she faced Lin Xun, it would be with nothing but a smile.

The so-called accident would be nothing more than a dream.

But regardless, for now, Mo Wenwen still wanted to maintain their relationship as it was before the accident.

Yet even if the relationship could be maintained, the atmosphere remained subtle.

However, the two could only turn a blind eye to this subtlety.

Thinking no more, Lin Xun began to process the Black Flood Dragon.

A flood dragon was already full of treasures, let alone a Black Flood Dragon in the Jade Purity Realm.

Lin Xun separated the most choice meat of the Black Flood Dragon and then organized its Dragon Tendons.

Then there were the Dragon Eyes, dragon teeth, the Reverse Scale, intact Dragon Scales, and the Dragon Spine.

Lin Xun stripped away all the most precious parts of the Black Flood Dragon.

Although the remaining parts would be fought over if placed outside, there was no need to take them.

He would simply let the remaining corpse of the Black Flood Dragon nourish this Grotto-heaven.

All things have their Reincarnation; regardless, some Opportunities should be left for those who come after.

Mo Wenwen was very surprised by Lin Xun’s behavior.

Because in Mo Wenwen’s eyes, Lin Xun was a Devil Head, a bandit, and a lecher who would usually take every treasure he could find.

But his act of leaving most of the Black Flood Dragon’s flesh to nourish the Grotto-heaven was something even those so-called prestigious Cultivators likely couldn’t do.

Those Cultivators would probably swarm the Black Flood Dragon and fight over it, not sparing even a drop of blood.

Was the Lin Xun who made the whole world pale at the mention of his name truly a Devil Head?

In Mo Wenwen’s heart, a question mark had already appeared.

After processing the Black Flood Dragon, Lin Xun wanted to split the spoils equally with Mo Wenwen.

But Mo Wenwen refused, stating she hadn’t put in any effort and couldn’t take a single bit.

But Lin Xun still felt a faint sense of guilt toward her and hoped she would at least accept a Dragon Eye.

Seeing Lin Xun’s thoughts, Mo Wenwen didn’t refuse too strongly, only feeling that this man was somewhat strange.

Clearly, that accident wasn’t his responsibility at all, yet he felt guilty and wanted to compensate her. How could such a person be a Flower-thief?

In the end, Mo Wenwen accepted the Dragon Eye but also took out a handkerchief to exchange for it.

This handkerchief was a first-grade Magical Artifact; it was impervious to water and fire, could fly with the wind, and even had the effect of concealing one’s form.

Lin Xun accepted it without thinking too much, as it was an equal exchange.

But on second thought, he gave a Dragon Eye and she gave a handkerchief—why did it feel a bit strange?

However, seeing Mo Wenwen’s extremely calm appearance beside him, Lin Xun felt it was very likely he was overthinking.

The two continued forward in the Grotto-heaven, searching for an exit and checking for any Heaven And Earth Treasures along the way.

This Grotto-heaven indeed had many Spirit Beasts and Spirit Medicines of good quality. Lin Xun gathered some to use later when cleansing Qinger’s marrow.

It was just that the dragon blood was gone; otherwise, using dragon blood to cleanse marrow and for Body Refining would be the best choice.

But he still had the Dragon Spine.

Using the marrow from the Dragon Spine along with the herbs here, the effect certainly wouldn’t be bad.

He would just need to make up an excuse later; otherwise, if Qinger asked where these things came from, it would be hard to explain.

On the other side, Mo Wenwen watched Lin Xun specifically pick Spiritual Plants and flowers with gentle properties, as if he were preparing for the Body Refining of some newly initiated Cultivator.

Moreover, the properties were Yin in nature, so it should be for a woman.

Mo Wenwen felt like asking about the woman’s identity, but as soon as the thought appeared, the young girl dismissed it herself.

Which woman he wanted to cleanse marrow and refine the body for, what did it have to do with her? Why should she ask?

This Grotto-heaven actually wasn’t that large. Lin Xun and Mo Wenwen stayed inside for two days.

During these two days, Lin Xun and Mo Wenwen maintained a certain distance, and their relationship remained as before, without any progress.

Neither of them mentioned the accident again.

But no matter how they maintained their previous relationship or how carefree they seemed,

The small details of their interactions revealed a silent trust that hadn’t existed before.

On the third day, Lin Xun and Mo Wenwen explored the entire Grotto-heaven and found its exit.

After leaving the Grotto-heaven, Lin Xun and Mo Wenwen returned to the front of the cave they were in originally.

Looking at the already collapsed entrance to the Immortal Cave, both were slightly dazed.

In just two short days, too much had happened.

Mo Wenwen hadn’t expected that the one who wanted to harm her was actually her Senior Brother from the same Sect.

Even more so, she hadn’t expected that the one who saved her was actually the Demon Son Lin Xun, whom the world hated and feared.

“The world is unpredictable; who can know the human heart?”

Mo Wenwen shook her head and withdrew her gaze from the cave entrance.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for the rescue this time. I will report the events of these past two days truthfully to my Sect.”

Lin Xun: “???”

Lin Xun was a bit dazed.

Wait…

Are you going to tell the Sect about the accident that happened between us too?

If Fuchen Continent finds out their Saintess was ‘done that’ by the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s Demon Son…

Will your reputation really be okay?

Mo Wenwen didn’t explain further but looked up at the sky. “It’s getting late; this humble Daoist shall take her leave. I will leave the Rootless Secret Realm tomorrow morning. Please be careful in all things, Young Master.”

“Take care, Miss.”

“Take care, Young Master Lin.”

Mo Wenwen turned and left. Lin Xun did not ask her to stay, nor did he have a reason to.

Both turned and left by tacit agreement, wanting to seal that matter away forever.

In Lin Xun’s view, when they met again in the future, she might have already forgotten her feelings.

Or perhaps it would just be a “Greetings, Fellow Daoist” from her.

This was perhaps the outcome the young girl wanted most.
