Chapter 223: Failing to achieve what one sets out to do
Early next morning, the rain hadn't stopped, but it couldn't stop their travel schedule, so they set off immediately after eating their breakfast. They used the money they earned last night from selling their performance to buy two new cloaks. Lin Mu Yu and Qin Yin changed into them, which were cloaks that could block the rain, so it was very suited for their travels.
"Young fellow Lin, why are your eyes that red?" Du Yi Ming was pulling his horse as he asked the most important question.
Lin Mu Yu naturally couldn't say that he was held all night by Qin Yin, so he basically couldn't sleep from tossing and turning all night. Qin Yin would definitely kill him if he said that. So, he said, "I wasn't accustomed to the bedding, so I couldn't sleep."
"Oh, so it's like this. This one has a bottle mind calming medicine. If this young fellow doesn't mind, you can have it."
"No need, thanks."
Lin Mu Yu didn't want to owe people too much, so he decisively rejected it. He came over to Qin Yin's side and helped her onto her horse as he said with a smile, "Let's go, we're heading out."
"Un."
Qin Yin nodded with a smile as a blush came over her pretty face. With the morning glow, she was like a little newlywed as she looked at Lin Mu Yu in a daze. As expected, a beautiful woman really was a lethal weapon towards men. He couldn't help thinking about what Qin Yin asked last night.
"Ah Yu, do you like me or Xiao Xi?"
"Both."
"The which one do you like more?"
"Both……"
"Humph, bastard, you still can't think it through?!" The princess ominously threatened, "You're only allowed to like me in the future…..Oh, no, you're allowed to like me more a bit, or I will have royal father take away your salary!"
"No matter, I have money….."
"Wu, wu, angering me to death….."
Women, they loved being jealous the most. As for men…..they should be the most controlling creature. Actually their narrow mindedness was even more terrifying than women.
The three people slowly walked on the Yun Zhong Road. Lin Mu Yu held his umbrella and had his eyes closed as he silently used the Dragon Bone Forged Tome to refine his body, raising his cultivation. At the same time, he spread his Spiritual Pulse Technique, seeing that there were no strong auras in the several miles area around them, so there should be no one following them. As for the side, Du Yi Ming was currently trying to flatter Qin Yin and the Umbrella Dragon was following them not far behind in the forest.
"Young master Du, didn't you say you would teach Xiao Yin the beast taming technique?" Lin Mu Yu suddenly asked.
Du Yi Ming suddenly remembered, "Oh, I almost forgot……Alright, then I'll start teaching miss Xiao Yin the beast taming technique mantra. Read it with me…..Spirit of ten thousand beasts, all having masters. Heaven's creations, endless uses….."
Lin Mu Yu kept his eyes closed and didn't secretly learn it. Qin Yin would teach him anyway once she learned it.
Not long after, Du Yi Ming began teaching Qin Yin how to connect spirits, but…..Qin Yin couldn't succeed. After trying several times, she couldn't even connect consciousness with her horse. Du Yi Ming patted the head of his horse and said, "Horse, horse, call out three times for me."
The horse suddenly raised its head and called out three times, looking very mysterious. It seemed like Du Yi Ming did indeed have some skills.
"Wu……"
Qin Yin closed her eyes, but couldn't connect to her horse. She couldn't help getting a bit agitated.
Lin Mu Yu said in a gentle voice in the side, "Don't be agitated, take it slow."
With this, Qin Yin immediately calmed down and nodded with a smile, "Un……"
It made Du Yi Ming a bit uncomfortable as a jealous look flashed across his face.
When it was approaching evening, the rain quickly stopped.
Qin Yin opened the cloak at her chest and took off the hood, letting her hair flutter in the wind. She rubbed her wet face and didn't want to touch her "freckles, but she accidentally touched them. Lin Mu Yu saw from the side and quickly said, "Xiao Yin, you…..that?"
"Ah?"
Qin Yin didn't know what he meant and looked at him with big eyes, "What is it?"
Du Yi Ming looked over at this time and saw Qin Yin's flawless snow white face. Suddenly that majestic face of absolute beauty appeared in front of his eyes, causing Du Yi Ming to be stunned. He was almost petrified as he muttered, "There is such a beautiful girl in this world….."
Qin Yin quickly noticed her fallen off freckles, but there was no use in panicking. They couldn't hide it from Du Yi Ming.
Lin Mu Yu was more calm as he said, "Put it back on….."
"Un."
Qin Yin stuck the freckles back onto her face, instantly lowering her appearance by 50%.
Lin Mu Yu said with a smile, "Young master Du, my little sister Xiao Yin indeed has an outstanding appearance, but the land is harsh. In order to travel safely, we can only hide it. I hope that you can help us protect this secret."
"Definitely……Definitely……"
Du Yi Ming kept nodding as he said, "It's getting late, how about we go another few miles to see if there is an inn?"
"Un, alright."
Not long after, they really came across an inn. Du Yi Ming led his horse forward as he said with a smile, "I know the shopkeeper of this inn, he is my old friend called Liu Jun. He will definitely prepare a first class room for us tonight."
"Un, many thanks."
After entering the inn, there was a rough looking man who was around thirty that came forward. He said with a smile, "Brother Du, long time no see. Has your journey been good?"
"Good, good."
Du Yi Ming lightly patted the head of the Umbrella Dragon as he said with a smile, "Brother Liu, me and my two friends will be staying a night and imposing on your hospitality. Can you prepare your two best rooms for us?"
"Alright, no problem."
Liu Jun was laughing, but his eyes didn't leave Qin Yin's body.
Lin Mu Yu was a bit angry seeing this. This Liu Jun didn't look like a good thing, he looked like a degenerate, but this was someone else's territory, so he had to endure it!
This time, it really was the best room. There were two beds and they were both very soft, so at least he could have a nice rest. If he kept being held to sleep by Qin Yin, Lin Mu Yu definitely would find it hard to sleep and that was too hard to endure.
After eating dinner, they went to rest early.
But in order to be safe, Lin Mu Yu released his Spiritual Pulse Technique, going into a shallow sleep while maintaining a state of alert. Qin Yin was sleeping very pleasantly as she laid there looking at Lin Mu Yu's bed with a beautiful sleeping face.
After midnight, Lin Mu Yu opened his eyes and let out a breath.
His Spiritual Pulse Technique spread out, searching the surrounding auras. There were two cultivators downstairs and they were in the 3rd Human Tier. They were considered decent experts, but they were not worth mentioning in Lin Mu Yu's eyes.
Very soon, his Spiritual Sense came to Du Yi Ming's room, but he found two auras! It was suspicious!
Lin Mu Yu immediately raised his battle qi and strengthened his Spiritual Pulse Technique, listening in on Du Yi Ming and Liu Jun's conversation.
"Brother Du, those people today…..how did you meet them? That girl seems like top quality goods!"
"Brother Liu truly has good eyes. Actually the marks on Lin Yin's face are fake and after they're taken off, she is an absolute beauty! Even I couldn't stop myself from falling in love with her!"
"Is it really as brother Du says?"
"Not a bit is false! If it wasn't for them following me to learn the beast taming technique, that brat named Lin Yu wouldn't have let me come with them, hei…..Who would have known that I slightly changed the mantra I taught them. That Lin Yin won't be able to learn the beast taming technique no matter how smart she is."
"Brother Du, when should we make a move? That brat Lin Yu seems to be carrying two blades, his strength isn't bad."
"Humph, at best he is in the 1st Earth Tier…..After midnight, an incense should knock him out and then…..Hei, hei, we'll enjoy that beauty Lin Yin first before killing Lin Yu. We'll sell Lin Yin to the best restaurant in Orchid Goose City to be a headliner. Hei, with her appearance, we can sell her for at least ten thousand gold coins!"
"Alright, I'll prepare the incense!"
"Alright!"
Lin Mu Yu slowly opened his eyes and sighed that people are dangerous. He came over to Qin Yin and tapped her shoulder, speaking in a soft voice, "Xiao Yin, wake up."
It was unknown what dream Qin Yin was having, as she opened her arms to grab Lin Mu Yu and muttered, "Big brother Ah Yu……"
This call almost choked Lin Mu Yu to death, but he opened his palm and sent the Spiritual Pulse Technique into Qin Yin's brain. Qin Yin immediately woke up and opened her eyes before her face turned red, "Big brother Ah Yu, what are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything……"
Lin Mu Yu helplessly shook his head and took out two bottles of Gathering Scattered Divinity before saying, "Du Yi Ming and Liu Jun want to use incense to harm us. This is the Gathering Scattered Divinity, it can resist poison. Xiao Yin, drink it."
"Un."
Qin Yin obediently drank the Gathering Scattered Divinity and Lin Mu Yu also drank a bottle. He laid back on his bed and said, "Pretend to be asleep. Waiting to kill them after they make a move won't be too late."
"Alright……"
After waiting for a long time like this, there were finally sounds coming from outside. The paper window was pierced and a wave of fragrance came in. Lin Mu Yu and Qin Yin continued to pretend to sleep.
After ten minutes, the door opened with a squeak. Liu Jun and Du Yi Ming came in. After closing the door, Liu Jun said, "Are they knocked out?"
"Definitely, my Hundred Poison Soul Bewitching Incense doesn't have an empty reputation.
Luo Jun came forward and shook Lin Mu Yu by the shoulder, "Young fellow Lin, wake up!"
Lin Mu Yu acted like he heard nothing and remained in a deep sleep.
"Hei, he really is out!"
Liu Jun laughed as he came beside Qin Yin's bed. He said with a smile, "After this charming enchantress takes off her makeup, she really is a nation collapsing beauty. Let this master have a kiss first!"
At this time, Du Yi Ming drew his sword and said with a smile, "Father will send this Lin Yu to heaven first!"
But at this time, there was a sudden flash of golden light as a gold sparkling gourd vine pierced through the floor. It wrapped up Du Yi Ming and Lin Mu Yu raised his hand to pull out his iron sword. He sent out a simple slash with his blade covered in battle qi!
"Heaven…..Heaven Realm….."
Du Yi Ming's eyes popped out and before he could even finish, his heart had already been pierced.
Qin Yin's eyes were also wide open and scared the approaching Liu Jun to take several steps backwards with a scream. At this time, the cute Umbrella Dragon charged forward and swept its claws at Qin Yin.
"Weng……"
The light of the God Binding Lock scattered, as it punctured the abdomen of the Umbrella Dragon, instantly killing it.
"Weng……"
Liu Jun jumped out the window and actually escaped.
Lin Mu Yu jumped out with his sword and looked into the surrounding darkness, but he couldn't find a trace of Liu Jun. This Liu Jun didn't have any cultivation at all, so he couldn't find him with his Spiritual Pulse Technique.
"Consider your life strong….."
Lin Mu Yu gave a cold snort before jumping back to the second floor, "Xiao Yin, we're setting off tonight. We can't stay here anymore."
"Un!"
Lin Mu Yu sunk down and checked Du Yi Ming's corpse, taking out a secret book from his chest. There were withered letters on it saying "Spirit Connecting Technique", so it was this!
He immediately gave it to Qin Yin and went downstairs to get their horses.
In the corner of the horse stable, a horse was currently peeing and it was dripping down the head of a person. That person was squatting down and trembling as he looked into the distance. Even his voice trembled as he said, "My god, what kind of person is this, too terrifying…..Brother Du, you were a colleague who failed to do what we set out to do and lost your life, rest in peace. We will always remember you!"
