"Tick-tack-toe is a man and a woman doing something very great, both very happy and satisfied with it. This thing can be said to be sacred and great, and also the origin of humanity. It is said that women will like it very much." Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then said wickedly.
"Really, can we do tick-tack-toe then?" Bai Sasha looked at Li Lin eagerly.
"Well..."
Li Lin was stunned, that was too direct. It was his first time, and it couldn't just be casual, he was definitely not a casual person.
"Hmph, I didn't expect someone could actually walk out of my maze. Who exactly are you?" A cold voice came, and a breathtakingly beautiful woman in white had already appeared beside Li Lin.
"Senior, I walked out unintentionally, please don't blame me." Li Lin immediately handed the formation corner in his hand to the woman in white.
"Master, this boy said, after a boy and a girl do tick-tack-toe, doing something very great, both will be very happy and satisfied, and then they can become a man and a woman." Bai Sasha happily told the woman in white.
Hearing Bai Sasha's words, Li Lin suddenly felt a surge of desperation. This woman was really naive, too naive. Cold sweat broke out on Li Lin's forehead.
"I knew it, no man is good. So young and already adept at sweet-talking to deceive women. Keeping you would be a disaster for women in the future, might as well kill you now." The woman in white coldly said.
"I..." Li Lin really couldn't figure out where he had deceived women.
"Senior, before I die, could you let me say something." Li Lin thought to himself, also preparing to escape. The Puppet Yi and the Sky Wing Snow Lion were both getting ready, thinking to himself that this woman was just as temperamental and terrifying as the Old Poisoner said.
"Speak, let you finish before dying." The woman in white said coldly.
"I came looking for a Ghost Fairy Senior, sent by the Soul Summoning Poison Duke Dong WuMing. The Old Poisoner said, he hoped to see the Poison Fairy Senior before he died, to say sorry to her." Li Lin softly finished speaking, then looked up at the woman in white, saying, "Senior, after you kill me, please help me find the Ghost Fairy Senior. Then I will die without any complaints."
"What did you say, before dying, what exactly happened to that old thing?" The stunning woman in white suddenly asked Li Lin, her expression already anxious.
"Looks like there really was something between them." Li Lin chuckled to himself, this look, it would be strange if there wasn't something. It seems things will be easier now.
"Senior, just kill me. I need to find the Ghost Fairy Senior to speak." Li Lin deliberately said.
"Nonsense, didn't that old man tell you what the Ghost Fairy looks like? I am the Ghost Fairy Bai Ying. Quick, say how that old man is?" The stunning woman in white asked.
"So you are the Ghost Fairy Senior." Li Lin bowed again, his heart already sure from the conversation with Bai Sasha that this person was indeed the Ghost Fairy Bai Ying, then said, "The Old Poisoner is temporarily not in life danger, but his injuries are too severe, I'm afraid... sigh, not sure if he can recover."
Hearing Li Lin's words, the Ghost Fairy Bai Ying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Li Lin and asking, "What relation are you to that old man?"
"I am the Old Poisoner's nephew." Li Lin replied, thinking to himself, that's what they call it in the Misty Mountain Range anyway.
"You're lying, where did he get a nephew?" The woman in white immediately said.
"Senior, why would I lie to you, I'm really his nephew, not by blood. If you don't believe it, then forget it. This is what he gave me." Li Lin took out a jade pendant, which was specifically given to him by Soul Summoning Poison Duke Dong WuMing to prove his identity.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
"This..." Taking the jade pendant from Li Lin's hand, the woman in white's expression changed again, carefully touching the jade pendant in her hand, her gaze suddenly becoming distant, as if she remembered something.
"Did he really say he wanted to see me?" After a moment, the Ghost Fairy's expression calmed down, and her tone of speaking to Li Lin became much softer.
"Yes, the Old Poisoner personally told me." Li Lin sincerely said, but in his heart, he thought, he could only apologize to the Old Poisoner first, maybe he could still matchmake a relationship. The Ghost Fairy Bai Ying was so beautiful, it's really puzzling how the Old Poisoner couldn't appreciate her, still fixated on harming that woman.
"You're not lying to me?" The Ghost Fairy Bai Ying looked at Li Lin, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of doubt, and also a bit more anticipation and anxiety.
"How dare I lie to the Ghost Fairy Senior." Li Lin immediately said.
"You'd better not dare." The Ghost Fairy looked at Li Lin, her face showing a trace of a girlish smile, suddenly becoming incomparably beautiful.
Li Lin sighed in his heart, this Ghost Fairy really was like a fairy. The Soul Summoning Poison Duke Dong WuMing, that Old Poisoner, must have had his head caught in a door, to not want such a beautiful woman.
"Take me to see him." After a moment, the Ghost Fairy said to Li Lin.
"Senior, I can take you, but you have to agree to a condition, otherwise, the Old Poisoner said he dares not see you." Li Lin's eyes flashed, then said.
"Speak." The Ghost Fairy looked at Li Lin.
"The Old Poisoner has now joined the Flying Spirit Sect as the Grand Elder, he hopes you can also join the Flying Spirit Sect. Then, you can often see the Senior, otherwise, seeing the Senior once and then leaving, it's better not to see at all." Li Lin said.
"You're quite good at lying. Tell me, what exactly is going on, or else I will immediately take your life." The Ghost Fairy's face sank again, picking up the jade pendant Li Lin had just given her, saying, "Do you know the origin of this jade pendant? This is what I left for that old man. He saved my life back then. If he ever encounters trouble, he could let someone find me. As long as I can do it, I will agree. Given his character, he would definitely not ask me for help. So, giving me this jade pendant probably means he hopes I agree to something for you, and you still dare to deceive me, what exactly happened to him?"
Li Lin was almost out of breath, so the jade pendant had this purpose. The Old Poisoner didn't tell him in advance, almost causing him to lose his life. At the same time, Li Lin admired the Ghost Fairy to the ground, truly nothing could be hidden from this woman.
"Senior, I'll tell the truth." Li Lin then explained the whole story from beginning to end. Of course, telling the truth was impossible, what needed to be truthfully said was said, what couldn't be said, naturally would not be said.
In summary, Li Lin's words meant that the Old Poisoner was seriously injured by the combined forces of the Tianxing Sect, and he was saved unintentionally by Li Lin, who then joined the Flying Spirit Sect. He planned to strengthen the Flying Spirit Sect before seeking revenge on the Tianxing Sect, along with the current situation of the Flying Spirit Sect. The truth was mixed with lies, and Li Lin didn't believe the Ghost Fairy could discern the truth from falsehood.
In this, Li Lin completely portrayed himself as a selfless good person, dedicated to helping the Old Poisoner seek revenge, without any personal agenda.
"This old guy, does he really hate that woman, or can't he forget her?" After hearing Li Lin's words, the Ghost Fairy sighed slightly.
"Senior, the Old Poisoner naturally hates that woman, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me to find you," Li Lin said inappropriately.
"Kid, if this is really what that old thing wants, I might consider joining your Flying Spirit Sect, but if you dare to deceive me, I will make your death very unpleasant," the Ghost Fairy said after regaining her composure.
"Senior, this is indeed what the Old Poisoner intended, otherwise I wouldn't know where you live," Li Lin assured, though his words were half-true, half-false. If not for the Soul Summoning Poison Duke Dong WuMing mentioning her, Li Lin wouldn't even know who the Ghost Fairy was.
"Come in, I'll get ready, and we'll leave tomorrow," the Ghost Fairy said to Li Lin, turning to enter the courtyard.
"It worked." Li Lin was overjoyed, not expecting to resolve the situation so easily, seeing the charm of the Old Poisoner was indeed significant.
"Yay, I can stay with a man tonight," Bai Sasha exclaimed loudly, scaring Li Lin, hoping he wouldn't be forced tonight, as Bai Sasha might really do such a thing.
Inside the courtyard, everything was unique. Although the decorations were simple, they did not lack elegance. Li Lin immediately lavished praise, from taste and style to the Ghost Fairy's exceptional beauty, complimenting her from start to finish.
The Ghost Fairy's mood visibly improved with Li Lin's compliments, and her demeanor towards Li Lin softened considerably, even showing a smile occasionally, which made Li Lin secretly delighted. After all, she was a woman, and women like to be complimented—a common trait among them, and praising her more was foolproof.
"Senior, are you not yet twenty-eight? I have never seen a woman with such temperament as you," Li Lin said with wide eyes, though his mind wandered to Li Wushuang. Li Wushuang's temperament was not inferior to the Ghost Fairy's; the two could be considered equally matched, not to mention the stunning green-dressed girl and the cross-dressing woman he encountered in the Misty Mountain Range, as well as Lu Xiaoling, who were not far behind in terms of temperament and beauty.
"Kid, your mouth is as sweet as honey. Who knows how many young girls you will charm dizzy in the future. I am already sixty, old," the Ghost Fairy scolded Li Lin, but it was clear she was quite pleased.
