Chapter 202: Crack

Ling Yun had a special sense of closeness and empathy with the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, Little White, because up until now, besides that dragon from before, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was the only cultivator he had seen. However, it wasn't a person. It was just a spirit fox.

As for Miao Xiaomiao, Xuanqi, or the late Xuan Jiu, they were only strong martial arts practitioners. They weren't even cultivators.

Previously, when Little White had led Ling Yun through the mountain ravine, Ling Yun had seen the majestic Yin-Yang Dragon Lock formation. It made Ling Yun feel as if he had returned to Cultivation World. It revived memories of the days when he would travel across mountains and observe the many formations of the world freely and quietly.

Although Ling Yun tried his best to integrate into this world's city life, in truth, Ling Yun only belonged to the same world as Little White.

Lin Fan smiled thinly as he stood up and looked over at Xiao Meimei's bedroom. Then, he started to calm his emotions and activate the Dayan Great Stars Technique.

The Dayan Great Stars Technique was a technique to transform one's physique. By deliberately using it in his physique tempering, it naturally made a huge difference in the speed and effectiveness of his physique tempering.

After going through the process several times, Ling Yun's body had long reached the stage where he was impervious to cold and heat and invulnerable to swords and guns. With the Dayan Great Stars Technique on top of that, he could bare-handedly grab Xuan Jiu's tri-edged blade and not get cut.

The stronger his physique was, the more spiritual energy Ling Yun could absorb in similar worlds. It would also be more beneficial to him after reaching the mid-stage of physique tempering. Hence, Ling Yun would not neglect his physique tempering even for a moment.

Xiao Meimei's bedroom.

Zhuang Meifeng was quietly thinking about her worries as she helped Xiao Meimei to wipe the sweat and blood from her body. Because she wasn't paying attention, she used a bit too much strength and dug into Xiao Meimei's self-inflicted wound. Xiao Meimei couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"Ah... I'm sorry!" Zhuang Meifeng realized it and hurriedly apologized.

Xiao Meimei pressed one hand against the bed and sat up. The two snow-white peaks on her chest undulated along with her movements and swayed vigorously. As her tender chest shook about, Zhuang Meifeng was a little shy.

"Why do you like to sleep naked..." Zhuang Meifeng rolled her eyes at Xiao Meimei.D*mn it. Now, Ling Yun has seen another beautiful lady naked.

Xiao Meimei extended her arm and took the towel from Zhuang Meifeng's hand. She wiped her own two peaks and her private part as she said calmly, "Assassins already have lots of constraints. It's not easy for us to relax and sleep for a while. Why would I still try to cover up my body?"

Zhuang Meifeng saw Xiao Meimei's calm expression and asked shyly, "You...you've been seen naked by Ling Yun just now. Why didn't you have any reaction at all?"

Xiao Meimei was silent for a while before she replied, "My body is different from yours. I'm just a tool used to kill. In Ling Yun's eyes, my body is just a shell, no different from a flower vase. On the other hand, you're a woman in his eyes. A complete woman."

Xiao Meimei emphasized the last phrase, 'A complete woman'. This made Zhuang Meifeng blush uncontrollably.

Zhuang Meifeng thought for a moment before asking, "Do you really hate him?"

Xiao Meimei slowly shook her head as she said plainly, "I don't hate him because what he did was right. He did it to protect those close to him, to protect you. That's why he cast such a cruel restriction on me. If it was me, I might be even crueler!"

Xiao Meimei had put some thought into it. If she had been in Ling Yun's shoes, after getting the fifty-million dollars, she would've killed herself. Why would he still bring her to buy clothes worth over a million dollars?

"Then what you said just now..." Zhuang Meifeng widened her phoenix eyes in disbelief.

Xiao Meimei laughed bitterly. "I was just in too much pain. I didn't expect him to have such a cruel technique. Can't I just scold him once?"

Zhuang Meifeng felt that she might have done the same as Xiao Meimei if she had experienced the same excruciating punishment. She even had a bit of pity for Xiao Meimei, who was now slowly regaining the color on her face. Zhuang Meifeng just responded with an 'Oh'.

"When Ling Yun answered your call, he was probably very far away. After he received it, he probably ran back here at his fastest speed. He was probably worried that I might not be able to take it and just die."

Xiao Meimei continued wiping her body as she spoke, "In his bones, he's actually a very good person. However, most people can't sense the goodness that is hidden within him."

Xiao Meimei finished wiping her body. She raised her hand and tossed the warm towel back into the pail casually. Then, she looked at Zhuang Meifeng thoughtfully. "That scared you, didn't it?"

Zhuang Meifeng blushed. She nodded gently.

Xiao Meimei continued, "Were you scared because of my pain or because of Ling Yun's brutality?"

Zhuang Meifeng was a little stunned and a little tongue-tied.

Xiao Meimei looked outside the window and pouted. Then, she said calmly, "Your expression just now was seen by Ling Yun. It had a pretty big impact on him."

Zhuang Meifeng's gorgeous face turned pale as she said in a panicked tone, "Huh?! Then...then what should I do?"

"Your reaction was normal. Ling Yun probably won't take it to heart..."

Seeing that the beautiful big eyes of Zhuang Meifeng's were filled with remorse, Xiao Meimei sighed in her heart and comforted her.

"I'm sorry. I...I'm going out for a moment..." Zhuang Meifeng sat there blankly for a while before she suddenly shot up and dashed out of the bedroom in a frenetic state. Her foot hit the pail as she was running out, causing the water to splash everywhere but she didn't seem to feel any pain.

Zhuang Meifeng ran out of the living room in an instant and her marvelous figure appeared in the courtyard, where the sky was already starting to brighten.

"Husband..." At that moment, Zhuang Meifeng only saw Ling Yun and she didn't even notice Little White. She leaped into Ling Yun's embrace without a care for anything else.

Ling Yun turned around suddenly and saw the shocked Zhuang Meifeng. "What happened?"

"I... I..." Zhuang Meifeng started weeping.

Ling Yun saw that she had run into the courtyard with just her pajamas and was worried that she might catch a cold. He quickly embraced her and ran to his own bedroom.

As Little White saw these two strange people, it wracked its brain thinking for a long while before a bashful look flashed across its white face.

After entering the bedroom, Ling Yun placed Zhuang Meifeng gently on the bed. He smiled at her and asked gently, "What happened exactly?"

Zhuang Meifeng looked guiltily at Ling Yun. She bit her lower lip as she said, "Husband, just now, I...I..."

Ling Yun instantly understood what was going on.

He waved his hand unconcernedly. "Don't think too much. In the future, when you experience more, you'll get used to it."

However, Ling Yun was very clear in his heart. He and Zhuang Meifeng were from two different worlds. Right now, this was just the beginning. In the future, when he takes the lives of others, it would be even harder for her to accept.

There was no other reason for it but their differing views on the world.

Ling Yun was from the Great World of Cultivation. He simply didn't care about law and order. What he believed was that the stronger party is always right and he would kill others decisively. However, what he couldn't accept was killing for the sake of killing.

On the other hand, Zhuang Meifeng was a rich young lady from the city. She couldn't shake off these worldviews that had been passed on to her by the society. She felt that killers must always be captured, trialed, and executed. That was the appropriate and lawful procedure.

In the future, Ling Yun would save many people and also kill many people. If Zhuang Meifeng doesn't find out, that would be fine but if she does, who knows what she would think?

However, of course, Ling Yun wouldn't say these things. He smiled gently at the terrified Zhuang Meifeng and said, "You woke up so early, why don't you take a nap? I still have to go and train."

After saying that, he stood up and went to the courtyard once again. In the first glimmers of dawn, he continued practicing his Dayan Great Stars Technique.

Zhuang Meifeng looked blankly at the empty bedroom and suddenly felt as if a chasm had formed in her flawless and intimate relationship with Ling Yun.

Zhuang Meifeng sat on the bed feeling empty. Her gorgeous face looked tragic. She seemed to even hear her own heartbreaking.

The feelings between people are the most subtle. Sometimes, all that's needed is a single glance or a small action to bring two hearts together. And sometimes, the same thing is also all that's needed to cause an irreparable crack on a sweet and peaceful relationship.

After an hour, it was already 6:30 AM. Ling Yun stopped training and walked into Xiao Meimei's bedroom with his hands behind his back.

When he saw Xiao Meimei leaning on the side of the bed, fiddling with her hair in front of her chest, Ling Yun couldn't help but frown. "Why have you still not put on clothes?"

Xiao Meimei shot Ling Yun a glare playfully. "You're the only man here. I've already been seen by you so why should I put on clothes? I haven't even gotten out of bed!"

D*mn. She actually dares to be so unbridled with me!

He stared at Xiao Meimei's exquisite body and laughed coldly. "You dare to talk to me like that. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

Xiao Meimei's delicate shoulders rolled back and her hips jerked forward as she sat up straight. She perked her two snow-white mountains up and said disdainfully, "Kill me then. I've killed thirty-nine people. I've killed more than enough. If I even flinch a little when you kill me, my name isn't Xiao Meimei!"

Ling Yun started sweating.It'll be hard to deal with this person if she's not afraid of death.Then, he chuckled cunningly. He walked over and bent forward to grab Xiao Meimei's breast, then he squeezed them!

"Ah..." Xiao Meimei let out a gentle and lovely moan. Her delicate body trembled and fell towards Ling Yun.

Ling Yun then moved quickly as lightning as he hit over ten of Xiao Meimei's acupoints and removed the restrictions on her.

"You win. Now, your restrictions have been completely removed. You may go!"
