Chapter 291: Chapter 228: Frenzy (11)

In the streets of New Ke City at night.

Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi were riding in the car back to the hotel.

As soon as Bai Yiyi returned to the real world, she began busily scrolling through social media platforms.

"Ah, being unable to access the internet on my phone for a whole day and night was truly distressing."

As time passed, Bai Yiyi found herself increasingly unaccustomed to the environment of Mirror World.

While looking at the news on her phone, Bai Yiyi laughed, "Lin Xing, the internet is still discussing the fight you had with Fairy Yunxiao yesterday."

"You’ve really made quite a name for yourself, lots of people are asking about your secret to cultivation, wondering how someone so young could defeat a famed expert of Mirror World..."

Not only the netizens but people from various nations and forces also felt an immense focus on Lin Xing’s rapid progress.

In particular, many had gone to great lengths to gather information about Lin Xing’s past life in the real world, but still found his speedy advancement baffling and were extremely curious.

"Some are even saying you should share your secret to becoming strong quickly, to help all of humanity advance together."

Bai Yiyi said, "Tomorrow in the martial arts demonstration, you will be facing someone from the Ming Mountain Sect. Aren’t you going to watch their fight videos from yesterday?"

Lin Xing gazed out the window, his heart suddenly stirred when Bai Yiyi mentioned Fairy Yunxiao.

He looked at Bai Yiyi and said, "Master Bai, you go back to the hotel first. I still have some things to handle."

Thus, moments later in front of the hotel, as she watched Lin Xing drive off, Bai Yiyi felt a strange surge of curiosity, "What secretive business is he up to?"

...

In the hotel room.

Fairy Yunxiao looked towards her master, who had been reflective since meeting with the Great Bright Buddha and the Second Elder of the Zhou Tian Sect earlier that day.

"Master, has something happened?"

Gu She Fairy glanced at Yunxiao and sighed, "There is a treasure that everyone desires. If you don’t want to share it with others, and you can’t snatch it, steal it, or buy it, what can you do to monopolize it?"

"Monopolize the treasure?" pondered Fairy Yunxiao, then suggested, "Maybe by deceiving?"

"Deception?" Gu She Fairy sighed, "I don’t possess the Divine Skills of Shi Lin Temple. Relying solely on deception might lead to endless troubles."

"I don’t want to monopolize it just temporarily."

Gu She Fairy said with a melancholic expression, "I want to monopolize it for a lifetime."

Fairy Yunxiao curiously asked, "Master, what exactly is this treasure?"

Gu She Fairy smiled but remained silent, not answering Fairy Yunxiao’s question.

Ding Dong!

Moments later, the sound of the hotel room doorbell rang.

Fairy Yunxiao looked towards Gu She Fairy and asked, "Master, should we open the door?"

In front of strong Daoists like Fairy Yunxiao and Gu She Fairy, whether the hotel door was opened or not made no difference.

They had already sensed the arrival of the other party even before Lin Xing rang the doorbell.

Gu She Fairy gave a cold snort, and a burst of exploding Divine Thought directly opened the door.

"Come in."

Lin Xing walked into the room, seeing both Fairy Yunxiao standing by and Gu She Fairy lying on the sofa.

Gu She Fairy wore a dress today, her legs tightly wrapped in black stockings that emitted a delicate sheen.

The petite Gu She Fairy lay sprawled on the couch, her small legs swinging outside the armrest, giving her the appearance of a languid kitten.

Yet the moment Lin Xing entered the room, her tone was tinged with coldness, "Weren’t we supposed to meet yesterday?"

Lin Xing replied, "Sorry, I was too busy yesterday and couldn’t make it."

Gu She Fairy pouted, "Then what brought you here today?"

Lin Xing asked, "I... why do I feel familiar with that doll? And who is Dong Yuqing?"

Gu She Fairy, curious, asked, "You really feel familiar, yet you don’t remember at all?"

Lin Xing pondered and said, "It sounds familiar, but I can’t recall where I have heard that name."

Seeing Lin Xing shake his head, a hint of interest flickered in Gu She Fairy’s eyes.

After slightly shifting her gaze as if pondering something, she finally answered, "Dong Yuqing was once my name."

"You?" Lin Xing looked at the Gu She Fairy in front of him, who despite her petite frame was a rare beauty, especially in her reclining pose.

But Lin Xing felt no familiarity with her appearance at the moment.

Even Fairy Yunxiao was surprised, "Master, you used that name?"

Gu She Fairy explained to Lin Xing, "That was a name once used by one of my avatars..."

As she spoke, Gu She Fairy suddenly stopped and said to Lin Xing, "The contents I am about to mention are secrets of the past and are not suitable for others to know."

"We should communicate through Divine Thought instead, as it’s more secure."

Watching Gu She Fairy sit up straight, Lin Xing curiously asked, "Divine Thought communication? How do you do that?"

At that moment, Lin Xing felt a tingling sensation on his thigh, as if a pair of delicate jade hands brushed over his leg, leaving a line of text: Just like this.

"Using spiritual thoughts to write on each other’s body?" Lin Xing pondered thoughtfully, "So this is what’s called Divine Thought communication in Mirror World?"

Observing Gu She Fairy now seated on the sofa, Lin Xing tried brushing his spiritual thoughts over her palm: I understand.

He then saw Gu She Fairy brush her hand smoothly over her pantyhose and finally stop at the inner side of her thigh, after which Lin Xing felt more words on his body: Write here.

Looking at Gu She Fairy’s serious expression, Lin Xing momentarily wondered if he had misunderstood something.

Beside them, Fairy Yunxiao, watching the two facing each other with serious faces yet without uttering a word, secretly thought, "What is Divine Thought communication? Does our sect possess such a technique? Why hasn’t my master taught me this?"

Right then, Fairy Yunxiao noticed her master seemed to shiver slightly, increasing her confusion, "Why does it seem like my master’s body is tense?"

She then saw Gu She Fairy’s right hand suddenly clench into a fist, and her breathing seemed to grow heavier.

Fairy Yunxiao internally sighed, "What kind of secret could possibly make my master so restless?"

Meanwhile, Lin Xing looked at the expressionless Gu She Fairy, thinking to himself, "This woman... is strange."

Although he found her extremely peculiar, through the lines of text she wrote, Lin Xing gradually learned about the so-called secrets.

Gu She Fairy: Lin Xing, you were once a disciple of Spirit Treasure Sect. My avatar named Dong Yuqing was your junior sister, and we had studied together in the sect and traveled around the martial world.

Lin Xing: I was a disciple of Spirit Treasure Sect? When did that happen?

Gu She Fairy: About fifty years ago.

Lin Xing: Impossible, I wasn’t even born fifty years ago.

Gu She Fairy: Then I don’t know why, but indeed you were with me in Spirit Treasure Sect learning martial arts fifty years ago. We were childhood friends, and had always been together since we were young. That cloth doll was a gift from you to me when we were children.

Hearing this, Lin Xing felt even more incredulous as he swiftly turned his head to look at Little Lin Xing: "Is what she said true? Do you know her?"

Little Lin Xing shrugged: "What are you guys talking about? I don’t know her."

Gu She Fairy looked curiously at Lin Xing, and wrote: Lin Xing, who are you talking to?

Lin Xing: Never mind, continue.

As she continued, Lin Xing learned that they had studied together at Spirit Treasure Sect for over a decade, then traveled down from the mountain to explore the martial world, but Lin Xing got lost during a combat in the martial world.

Just as Lin Xing grew more confused by her story, his phone vibrated.

He picked up his phone and saw it was Jing Shiyu calling: "I’m at the Spirit Treasure Sect side and have something to ask them."

Meanwhile, Gu She Fairy continued writing on Lin Xing’s body: Remember to admit defeat early in tomorrow’s martial arts demonstration with Ming Mountain Sect.

Lin Xing frowned and asked, "Why?"

But Gu She Fairy calmly looked at him and with one hand propping her chin, gently patted her thigh with the other smooth, fair hand.

Lin Xing: Why should I lose?

Gu She Fairy: The ranking and outcome of the martial arts demonstration have been arranged. If you win, you would offend Xingxiao and high-level practitioners from other sects.

A voice came through the phone from Jing Shiyu: "Then you go ahead; I’ll wait for you at the hotel."

As Lin Xing hung up the phone, Gu She Fairy wrote: Moreover, Xuanyin Taoist started practicing Ming Mountain Sect’s secret technique "Swap Stars with Days" a few years ago, and he is one of the toughest in the second transmission; you are no match for him now. Xingxiao also instructed Xuanyin Taoist, if you resist fiercely, to strike hard and knock you out of the martial arts arena.

Lin Xing, feeling the Earth Secret Runes in the scene, confidently replied: I won’t lose.

Watching his confident demeanor, Gu She Fairy advised: Junior brother, why bother competing against them for a moment? Once you and I return to Spirit Treasure Sect and you relearn our sect’s ultimate skills, I’ll help you break through the third transmission, and these opponents today won’t matter.

Lin Xing shook his head, choosing not to argue further with Gu She Fairy.

Although he had gained some information from Gu She Fairy today, it only made Lin Xing feel more bewildered.

He found it hard to believe that he had once been a disciple of Spirit Treasure Sect fifty years ago, and his mind was filled with doubts about the information Gu She Fairy had provided.

After Lin Xing left, Fairy Yunxiao hurriedly asked, "Master, what did you talk about?"

However, a blush crossed Gu She Fairy’s cheeks as she whispered, "It’s nothing, don’t pry into matters you shouldn’t."

Internally she thought, "Everyone wants the precious treasure, I should find a way to keep it all to myself."

...

After returning to his hotel, Lin Xing saw Jing Shiyu waiting for him in the room.

Jing Shiyu, as usual, wore a modern business suit that outlined her shapely figure under the slightly tight clothing.

"I heard from Master Bai that you’ve been cultivating for a whole day and night without eating."

Jing Shiyu brought over a meal: "Why don’t you eat something first?"
