Chapter 157: Japanese Netizen

"Lin Shiyin, I think you should understand that the diary isn't just your adventure. So what are you going to do next?" Dongfang Bubai asked, looking at Lin Shiyin seriously.

"I... I don't understand what you mean." Lin Shiyin's expression was bewildered.

"You don't understand? I think you came here not for the Rama Inner Power, but for the Divine Illumination Sutra. After all, you know Rama's remains don't contain the Rama Inner Power. And if you want your son to recover, you can only rely on the Divine Illumination Sutra." Dongfang Bubai stared at Lin Shiyin with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Facing Dongfang Bubai's piercing gaze, a hint of fear flashed in Lin Shiyin's eyes.

After all, before this, Lin Shiyin was just an ordinary woman, a weak and helpless woman.

Although she had begun to practice martial arts, instinctively, she was still an ordinary woman.

"I don't want the Divine Illumination Sutra. Really, I really don't want the Divine Illumination Sutra." Lin Shiyin quickly denied.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Lin Shiyin's expression. There was some confusion in her heart. Because she could see it. Although Lin Shiyin looked flustered, she didn't seem to be faking it.

So it seemed that Lin Shiyin's purpose this time was not the Divine Illumination Sutra.

However, if Lin Shiyin's goal was the Divine Illumination Sutra, it would be fine. If not the Divine Illumination Sutra, then what did Lin Shiyin want?

"Then what do you want to do? And you actually don't care about your son?" Dongfang Bubai looked at Lin Shiyin with interest.

"Of course I care about Xiaoyun. But, but I know. Xiaoyun, it's better for him to be an ordinary person than a martial artist. After all, Xiaoyun - although I can't kill my own relatives for the sake of justice. But I can't help the evil." Lin Shiyin's expression was a little sad.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Lin Shiyin in surprise. She thought Lin Shiyin would spoil her son Long Xiaoyun without any bottom line. After all, if the parents didn't spoil the son too much, the son wouldn't be so unbearable.

But she didn't expect that Lin Shiyin would have such thoughts. Dongfang Bubai's impression of Lin Shiyin improved a little.

"Since you're not here for your son, then you're here for Ye Xiu?" Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes at Lin Shiyin, a hint of meaning in them.

"No, I, I'm—" Lin Shiyin was suddenly stuck, unsure how to answer Dongfang Bubai's question.

Lin Shiyin had indeed come here because of Ye Xiu. However, Lin Shiyin felt she had no ill feelings toward Ye Xiu, or any inappropriate ones at that. She truly didn't. So, admitting it felt a bit inappropriate, and so she ended up hesitating.

Ultimately, Lin Shiyin left. Dongfang Bubai didn't try to keep her. In fact, Dongfang Bubai was merely offering a subtle warning. Dongfang Bubai didn't consider Lin Shiyin a threat. Who told Lin Shiyin to have dignity?

In Dongfang Bubai's view, only a shameless woman like Yaoyue was dangerous.

And how shameless? Of course, it was a woman like Yaoyue who had forced herself on Ye Xiu.

Of course, Dongfang Bubai would exclude herself from the conversation. After all, in Dongfang Bubai's view, when she forced herself on Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu had no other women around him.

No, it wasn't that there weren't other women, but that they hadn't been overly intimate with any of them.

Yao Yue, on the other hand, forced herself on Ye Xiu even after knowing he was her lover. That's why Dongfang Bubai considered Yao Yue shameless.

Other women, regardless of their personality, appearance, or shamelessness, as long as they weren't as shameless as Yao Yue and hadn't been overly intimate with Ye Xiu, posed little threat.

As for Lin Shiyin, she was frail, lacking strength, and she had a son, so she had a sense of shame. Therefore, there wasn't much of a possibility between Lin Shiyin and Ye Xiu. Therefore,

in Dongfang Bubai's view, Lin Shiyin wasn't much of a threat. She wasn't even as threatening as Jiang Yuyan.

Meanwhile, after leaving, Lin Shiyin wandered the streets in a daze, somewhat lost in thought.

She still couldn't believe Dongfang Bubai's words.

A diary, that magical thing. The kind that allowed one to peek into someone else's diary and even receive a reward.

Such a magical diary wasn't just hers. And according to Dongfang Bubai, there were many other owners.

What had once been her own treasure had suddenly become something commonplace. Lin Shiyin couldn't quite accept it.

"Shiyin, what's wrong with you? What did Dongfang Bubai say to you?" Li Xunhuan noticed that Lin Shiyin had been distracted since she came out.

So, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but wonder if Dongfeng Bubai had done something to her.

"No, nothing," Lin Shiyin shook her head.

Seeing Lin Shiyin like this, Li Xunhuan grew increasingly nervous.

He felt that Lin Shiyin's current condition must be related to Dongfang Bubai, after all, they had just had a private conversation.

But what had Dongfang Bubai done? And even if Dongfang Bubai had done something, Li Xunhuan was powerless to stop it.

Who was it because Li Xunhuan wasn't strong enough? Li Xunhuan's cultivation was at the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm.

Although he was unique, his mind was naturally extremely powerful. So much so that even at the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm, the flying knives he wielded possessed the power of a Grandmaster, capable of posing a certain threat to even Grandmaster-level experts.

But ultimately, it was only comparable to that of a Grandmaster. Facing a true Grandmaster like Dongfang Bubai, Li Xunhuan inevitably felt somewhat inferior.

Li Xunhuan's situation was somewhat similar to that of Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis who practiced the Qi-Absorbing Art. Both were at the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm, yet possessed combat power comparable to

that of a Grandmaster. But ultimately, it was only comparable; they couldn't truly transcend their level in combat. Facing a true Grandmaster, they inevitably felt somewhat inferior.

Li Xunhuan observed Lin Shiyin's somewhat unnatural expression, and he felt a growing sense of guilt and unease. If he hadn't crippled Long Xiaoyun, then Lin Shiyin wouldn't have brought him and Long Xiaoyun to Nanjing City. Had

they not come to Nanjing City, Lin Shiyin wouldn't have been coerced by Dongfang Bubai, and wouldn't have ended up in her current state.

Li Xunhuan didn't really pursue strength. But at this moment, he was actually overwhelmed by the urge to become even stronger.

Driven by this thought, Li Xunhuan's mind began to fluctuate. The powerful power of his mind tried to break through the bottleneck. Let Li Xunhuan break through the bottleneck and advance to the realm of Grandmaster.

However, Li Xunhuan was only powerful in mind, but his body could not withstand such a breakthrough.

If Li Xunhuan's body was fine and everything was normal, then under the urging of his powerful mind, he would definitely be able to successfully break through the bottleneck and become a Grandmaster.

But now, Li Xunhuan's body could almost be described as riddled with holes. Especially his lungs, which had almost turned into a sieve. So under the influence of his mind, Li Xunhuan, who was trying to break through the bottleneck, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lungs.

With a "puff," a mouthful of blood spurted out. Li Xunhuan's face paled. Lin Shiyin, noticing Li Xunhuan's movement, instinctively turned around and saw a mouthful of blood spurting out. Then, seeing Li Xunhuan lying on the ground, her expression suddenly changed.

Lin Shiyin, unable to care for anything else at this point, hurried forward. "Xunhuan. How are you? Are you okay, Xunhuan?"

Lin Shiyin's voice was filled with concern. Li Xunhuan couldn't help but feel joyful. He knew that Lin Shiyin still cared about him.

But after Li Xunhuan realized his joy, he slapped himself again.

"I can't let my brother down," Li Xunhuan silently shouted in his heart. After all, Lin Shiyin was now Long Xiaoyun's woman, his sister-in-law.

He shouldn't have such thoughts about her.

But Li Xunhuan couldn't control his emotions. He couldn't help but recall his relationship with Lin Shiyin.

Back then, he and Lin Shiyin were in love and had almost discussed marriage. But everything changed with the appearance of Long Xiaoyun.

Long Xiaoyun claimed he loved Lin Shiyin, even to the point of being lovesick. Li Xunhuan then tried to push Lin Shiyin towards him.

To do so, he deliberately visited prostitutes and became a frequent visitor to brothels.

After Lin Shiyin was hurt by his actions, the heartbroken Lin Shiyin finally became Long's wife.

Looking back on it all, Li Xunhuan suddenly felt like a failure. He could have been with Lin Shiyin if he had simply rejected Long Xiaoyun. But he didn't, choosing instead to let Long Xiaoyun be.

But even though Li Xunhuan felt like a failure and even felt some regret, if he had it to do over again, he would still do it.

Because that was Li Xunhuan. A man who could be a brother.

Lin Shiyin noticed the strange look in Li Xunhuan's eyes and immediately stopped, quickly taking a few steps back and putting some distance between them.

"Shiyin--" Li Xunhuan called out subconsciously when he saw Lin Shiyin's actions.

But after calling out this one name. Li Xunhuan immediately shut up.

"Li Xunhuan, are you okay?" Lin Shiyin asked in a normal calm voice.

"No, I'm fine." Li Xunhuan stopped thinking about it. His tone also began to become calm.

"I'm glad you're okay." Lin Shiyin said calmly.

So, both Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin began to become silent. The atmosphere between the two of them also changed from being ambiguous at the beginning to being very calm, without any ups and downs.

Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin remained like this until the end.

Long Xiaoyun looked at Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan who had returned, and a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

In fact, Long Xiaoyun did not want Lin Shi and Li Xunhuan to be alone together. Because Long Xiaoyun knew that Li Xunhuan had always been thinking about his mother Lin Shiyin? And in Lin Shiyin's heart, there was always the shadow of Li Xunhuan.

If the two of them walked together, the one who would end up hurt would be his father, Long Xiaoying. Of course, Long Xiaoyun wasn't important. What mattered was Long Xiaoyun.

Long Xiaoyun was filled with disgust and hatred for Li Xunhuan. He wished he could cut Li Xunhuan into pieces. That was why he wanted Li Xunhuan to have no contact with his mother, Lin Shiyin.

"Long'er, I'm sorry about Rama's body—I'm sorry for you." Lin Shiyin looked at Long Xiaoyun, a trace of sadness and guilt flashing in her eyes. She couldn't help but speak softly to Long Xiaoyun.

Hearing Lin Shiyin's words, a shadow flashed in Long Xiaoyun's eyes, a hint of anger, and even a flash of despair.

Then Long Xiaoyun turned back, staring angrily at Li Xunhuan.

"Aren't you Li Xunhuan? Aren't you the Little Li Flying Dagger, who never misses a target? Why can't you even get your hands on Rama's body? You useless piece of shit, what use are you? Get Rama's body back now, get it back for me!" Long Xiaoyun's voice was a little hysterical.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyun. There are so many people who want to be Rama's body. There are also many masters, even Grandmasters. I've tried my best. But—" Li Xunhuan seemed filled with guilt at this moment.

"Waste, you piece of shit, get out of here, get out. It's all your fault, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this. You piece of shit, I must kill you, kill you." Wang Xiaoyun roared hysterically at Li Xunhuan.

Looking at such hysterical Long Xiaoyun, to be honest, Li Xunhuan didn't feel much. Because in his heart, Long Xiaoyun's martial arts were crippled and he deserved it. Wang Xiaoyun was merciful, only crippling his martial arts.

Li Xunhuan only felt guilty because of Lin Shiyin. But, if it was just Long Xiaoyun, then he was really nothing? In fact, Long Xiaoyun also understood the meaning. It was just that Long Xiaoyun had suddenly lost all hope, so it was normal for him to become hysterical.

"Xiaoyun, don't be like this." Lin Shiyin felt heartbroken watching Long Xiaoyun like this. But she couldn't change the situation. She

couldn't beg Ye Xiu for the Divine Illumination Sutra. Lin Shiyin had rejected the idea from the start.

She knew Long Xiaoyun was far more suitable as an ordinary person than a martial artist. After all, it was Ye Xiu who had said in his diary that Long Xiaoyun was born a bad person. Long Xiaoyun

was filled with resentment, knowing he had no hope.

Even Li Xunhuan couldn't seize Rama's remains, so there was even less for him. So, Long Xiaoyun would be destined to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life, an ordinary person even weaker than an ordinary person. Meanwhile,

Long Xiaoyun's heart was filled with murderous intent. He had already begun to contemplate how to kill Li Xunhuan. Li Xunhuan caught Long Xiaoyun's venomous gaze and couldn't help but sigh. He knew Long Xiaoyun wanted to kill him. But, because Long Xiaoyun was Lin Shiyin's son, what could Li Xunhuan do to Long Xiaoyun? Meanwhile, Long Xiaoyun's heart was filled with murderous intent. He had already begun to contemplate how to kill Li Xunhuan. Li Xunhuan caught Long Xiaoyun's venomous gaze and couldn't help but sigh.

He knew Long Xiaoyun wanted to kill him. But, because Long Xiaoyun was Lin Shiyin's son, what could Li Xunhuan do to Long Xiaoyun?

Meanwhile, After Lin Shiyin left, Ye Xiu looked at Dongfang Bubai with some curiosity.

"Dongfang. Do you know Lin Shiyin? I mean, have you met before? Have you dealt with each other?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Dongfang Bubai answered seemingly normally, choking Ye Xiu.

But she still couldn't help but look at Ye Xiu twice more. After all, although Dongfang Bubai didn't think Lin Shiyin was a threat. But what if? What if Ye Xiu, this bastard, is so kind?

"I'm just a little curious. I'm curious about why a leader of the Sun and Moon Sect knows Lin Shiyin, Long Xiaoyun's woman." Ye Xiu shrugged. In fact, he was just curious about this. He didn't really have much idea about Lin Shiyin, although when he saw Lin Shiyin, Ye Xiu couldn't help but want to transform into a Japanese netizen.

"It's just that we met by chance, and we don't have much friendship." Dongfang Bubai said in a flat tone.

"I see." Ye Xiu nodded in realization.
