I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1896: Invitation from the Earl

Although Chen Lin did not regard Xitina as a Taoist partner, he could not allow anyone to tease her in front of him.

This is a matter of dignity.

If you retreat at this moment, your mind will be unstable.

In addition, he also believed in Xitina. The other party was very mysterious. Since she dared to agree to the bet, she must have the confidence.

The two sides were at war with each other.

The onlookers nearby suddenly became excited.

No one was in a hurry to guess the riddles, they just stood with their feet up waiting to eat the melons.

Instead, the three-horned creature was frightened by Chen Lin's aura and became hesitant.

Because Chen Lin was wearing a Shikli cloak, he couldn't tell how strong Chen Lin was and didn't dare to take the challenge rashly.

Although mutual attacks are prohibited here, once a bet is formed, it is no longer restricted by the rules.

There is a real possibility of death.

"Ni Laosan, why are you still so cowardly? How can you be promoted to earl with your appearance? Do you dare to do the promotion mission? If not, give me the invitation letter!"

"Hahaha!"

A one-eyed man nearby made sarcastic remarks, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

This made the three corners feel a little embarrassed.

The expression on his face changes.

Chen Lin's heart moved when he heard this.

He looked at Xitina beside him, and then felt Xitina grabbing his hand and gently squeezing it, imperceptibly.

This made him feel certain.

He immediately snorted at the three horns.

"Hmph, what? You don't dare to fight? Don't accuse me of bullying the weak. If you are not sure you can withstand my attack, then change the bet. If you lose, you will lose one thousand Lanshan coins and give me the invitation letter of the earl."

"If I lose."

Chen Lin took out two colored nightmare coins.

He shook it and said, "These two colored nightmare coins are yours!"

The three-horned man's eyes lit up.

He immediately agreed: "Okay, don't regret it!"

Colored Nightmare Coins are good things that can only be obtained under normal circumstances. Their actual value is much higher than that of the Lanshan Coins.

Moreover, he was very scared of the task of being promoted to earl and had no intention of going. The invitation letter for the title was useless in his hand, so he didn't feel bad about using it as a bet.

Better than blocking your life.

Chen Lin also felt relieved.

To be honest, he was also not sure he could take on the opponent's attack. The methods of the creatures in the Nightmare Realm were very strange, and ordinary defensive methods were difficult to be effective.

The reason I said that just now was just to intimidate the other party.

"Tsk, this is really boring, hurry up and don't waste everyone's time."

Seeing that gambling with life turned into gambling with money, the onlookers lost interest and started to urge them to stop.

Three horns stepped forward.

He glanced at Chen Lin and reached out to grab the lantern hanging on the tree.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

The lantern trembled slightly, emitting a faint light.

Then the expressions of the three horns began to change.

Relaxed, doubtful, thinking, confused.

In the end it became unbelievable.

About twenty breaths.

The lanterns began to flicker, then dimmed, and the three horns lost consciousness.

"I told you, you can't guess."

Xitina repeated her previous words seriously.

But this time, it was very different from before. Not only did the three characters remain silent, but the onlookers also fell silent.

Even Chen Lin was secretly surprised.

He had previously suspected that the other party had some ability that could interfere with the guessing, so he was so sure.

But I didn't expect that it was a magical power that could make things happen as I said, and it could also work in this scene.

Much more powerful than his natural ability.

The three-horned creature's face turned red and white, and it looked at Xitina deeply.

But nothing was said.

He took out an invitation letter and a purse, handed them to Chen Lin, and left in a hurry.

No one else dared to say anything and no one bothered Xitina anymore.

I’m afraid someone will say you can’t guess it right.

Chen Lin was very happy.

He held Xitina's hand tightly and asked through soul transmission: "Which riddle do you think I can guess correctly?"

If you have a wife like this, you must make use of her.

But Xitina poured cold water on him.

"My dear, don't waste your time. You can't guess the rest of the riddles. Otherwise, I wouldn't have angered that guy and let you win Lanshan coins in this way."

"You guessed all of them wrong?"

The other party was so sure that Chen Lin couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Xitina pointed to the lantern on the tree.

It was his turn in the team, and Chen Lin walked up and put his hand on the lantern without saying anything.

The consciousness was instantly pulled into the riddle space.

"Oh my, here comes a big shot who even guessed the portrait riddle correctly. Is he here to show off his power?"

The riddle elf spoke in a sarcastic tone while dancing.

Chen Lin suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just about to explain.

The Riddle Spirit held up a finger.

After a while of waving, a picture was drawn.

Very abstract.

"Please listen to the question."

Pointing at the picture, the Riddle Elf spoke in a cold voice.

"Based on the pattern I drew, guess a natural treasure. Please answer within ten breaths."

Chen Lin frowned.

As expected, what Xitina said was right. He couldn't guess the riddle.

He couldn't even understand what the other person was drawing, let alone guess the answer based on it.

I guess guessing puzzles are also limited.

He guessed the 'price riddle' correctly. If he continued to guess, the difficulty of the riddle would increase.

Ten breaths passed in a flash.

Chen Lin's consciousness returned to his body.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"My wife, you are always right. I shouldn't have disbelieved you."

Xitina smiled.

He pulled Chen Lin away from the crowd, explaining as he walked.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter which lantern you guess. After all, you took a shortcut before and the answer you gave didn't satisfy Sister Bai Yueguang. It's normal for the puzzle to become more difficult."

Chen Lin was stunned.

Look at each other suspiciously.

"How do you know I took advantage of you? Are you familiar with Grand Duke Bai Yueguang, or have you been following me?"

"Why would I follow my husband?"

Xitina smiled and said, "Because after I attended the Lantern Festival last time, I was invited to participate in the layout of this Lantern Festival, and many of the riddles were made by me."

This answer shocked Chen Lin.

React immediately.

He grinned and asked, "My lady, are you looking for me to punish me for cheating?"

"Hehe, you're right!"

Xitina's eyes curved into crescents.

"This is fate. It brought us together. Otherwise, even if my husband and I passed by each other, I would not be able to deeply detect his aura and recognize him."

This is really the case!

Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Whether it was receiving the invitation to the Lantern Festival, his determination to come in, or using his innate abilities to cheat, nothing was interfered with by external forces.

It's purely coincidental, it's really a bit of fate.

"What if you don't recognize me?"

"Of course, I will take back the Lanshan coins and the exchange order, and then capture you and imprison you here like the people on the flower boat. Whether you can get out depends on your husband's luck."

Chen Lin's face darkened.

At the same time, I was secretly afraid.

He thought his behavior was within the scope of the rules, but he didn't expect that he had already been targeted.

If I were really imprisoned, it would be a big trouble.

Not to mention whether I can leave alive, even if I can, I don’t know what the outside world will be like after I leave. After all, one day here is one year outside. "Thank you, my lady!"

Chen Lin bowed respectfully.

"Why should my husband and I be polite to each other?"

Xitina waved her hand.

She smiled and said, "And I believe that even if we are trapped, with my husband's means and wisdom, he will be able to leave calmly."

"It's not that easy. My lady thinks too highly of me."

Chen Lin smiled bitterly.

Then he asked, "My wife just said that the people on those flower boats are tourists trapped here. Is that the same for the one on the poetry boat?"

"Yes."

Xitina nodded.

"Apart from the invited tourists and vendors, the rest of the people doing business here and performing talents are all tourists who were trapped in the past."

"And there will be even more people trapped this time, because next time there will be a big lantern festival, and we need more people to enrich the content of the festival."

There is no pause.

She continued to explain.

"To be the owner of a flower boat, one must have extraordinary talents and is not an ordinary person. My husband made the poetry lanterns bloom. As long as the other party's rules are met, the other party can be rescued."

Chen Lin looked surprised.

No wonder the fairy poet kept asking him to make requests, it turned out to be to meet the restrictions of the rules.

"Why, my husband, do you regret it and want to have sex with her?"

Xitina glanced at Chen Lin.

Without waiting for Chen Lin to answer, she casually said, "It's okay. I'm not a jealous person. If you want to go, I can wait for you."

Chen Lin waved his hand hurriedly.

"My lady, please don't misunderstand me. I just think that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I will try my best to help. Besides, the other party only agreed to one request from me, and he didn't insist on sacrificing his life."

"That's not true."

Xitina glanced at the location of the poetry ship.

"The rule for the Four Wonders Ship and the Eight Immortals Ship is to find a good match. Other requirements cannot break the rule. If my husband doesn't go to have sex with her this time, it won't count for the next Lantern Festival."

"Then forget it."

Chen Lin no longer hesitated.

Not to mention that he didn't have such an idea, even if he did, he couldn't call his husband and wife so affectionately and then spend the night with another woman.

That's a bit too much.

Change the subject immediately.

"I have something to ask you, my lady. About a thousand years ago, you took away two women near the Rainbow Realm Prison Cage Formation. One was called Fairy Yao Chi, and the other was called Jin Lin."

talking.

Chen Lin's portrait in the void outlines the appearance of the two women.

Xitina shook her head.

"It's not me. The flow of time here is different from that of ordinary planes. More than a thousand years ago in your place, it should have been not long after the last Lantern Festival ended. I have stayed here the whole time and have not left. It is impossible for me to bring people with me. Besides, I have never been to the Rainbow World."

Chen Lin's heart sank.

In fact, since the other party said that he had been here for three years, he had already thought that it was not the other party who took the Fairy of Yao Chi away.

But who else could it be but the other party?

I thought about it over and over in my mind, but couldn't find the answer.

"My lady, do you really not know the Rainbow Realm? You must have been there, right?"

Chen Linji asked tentatively.

The other party must have lied about this matter.

If there is no reasonable explanation, then the other party's words cannot be trusted.

"I have been there?"

Xitina looked at Chen Lin in confusion.

Chen Lin pondered for a moment, then sketched a figure with his hand.

It is Wen Xin Zhao.

"Madam, take a look, do you know this person?"

"what?"

Xitina exclaimed.

Then he nodded and said, "I know her. I met her when I accidentally entered a low-level interface. She was being hunted at the time. I found that she and I had some fate, so I saved her and gave her some benefits."

"correct."

"I also promised her that if we met again within 500 years, I would take her to the place where I practiced. Unfortunately, we were not destined to meet again."

Chen Lin's doubts gradually disappeared.

This statement is similar to Wen Xinzhao, which means that the other party did not lie.

"Husband knows this person?"

Xitina asked back.

"cough."

Chen Lin coughed lightly.

He whispered, "This man and I have a pair of children."

Xitina was not jealous.

Instead, he showed an expression of understanding.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why I felt that the other person and I had some kind of fate, and it turned out to be here. So that interface must be the Rainbow Realm. I was in a hurry to leave at the time, and didn't know much about the information there."

Then he sighed again.

"What a pity, our fate is still too shallow. Now five hundred years have passed, and I cannot become sworn brothers with her. I can only be her sister as her husband's Taoist partner, and the promise I made is no longer valid."

Chen Lin was very confused.

He immediately asked, "My lady is so enthusiastic about the five hundred year agreement, is there any explanation?"

Xitina nodded slightly.

"You and your husband, there is no need to hide this. This is my way of cultivation. Only in this way can I gain divine power. For a special god like me, ordinary methods of cultivation are useless."

"I understand."

Chen Lin said it was clear.

He guessed that was the case.

Special races have innate supernatural powers, but their practice will also be greatly restricted. The path of the great way is balanced, and there will be gains and losses.

Then he remembered something.

He immediately asked, "My lady, besides me, you have not made a promise to marry anyone else for five hundred years, right?"

Xitina smiled.

"Your husband has other women, but you don't allow your partner to have other men. Isn't that too selfish?"

Chen Lin was choked.

But she still said seriously: "I don't force a Taoist partner. To be honest, I have many Taoist partners. If you use my resources to practice, you must abide by the rules of being a woman."

"If you don't use my resources, you can leave or stay as you like, but you can't be sneaky, and you can't come back after you leave."

Xitina blinked.

Then laughed.

"Don't worry, my husband. In fact, I don't want to find a Taoist partner at all, and I have never looked for a man. It's just that you saved me last time, so I made such a promise. I didn't expect that we would really meet again."

Then her expression turned serious.

She said in a deep voice: "For anyone who is bound to me by fate, no matter what it is, I will not regret it, and I cannot regret it, so I will be my husband's person for the rest of my life."

"Then I have found a treasure, haven't I?"

Chen Lin smiled.

But he didn't believe it in his heart.

The magical powers in the cultivation world are endless, and any rule can be broken.

He and the other party had only met twice, including this time, so it was too early to talk about feelings and loyalty. They were just using each other for their own needs.

But there is no need to say it out loud.

"Does my lady know the Boundary River?"

Chen Lin continued to ask.

"Yes, I am the natural spirit outside the Boundary River, from the Great God Heaven."

"What level has the lady's cultivation reached?"

"Let me think about it."

Xitina seemed to be thinking.

"Is the cultivation system in your place divided into virtual realm, true realm, and eternal realm? If so, then I am almost at the perfection of the true realm."

"What about combat effectiveness?"

"Why, is my husband in trouble and needs my help?"

The two of them strolled forward, chatting casually.

Chen Lin talked about his current predicament.

Since we are fellow Taoists, we should naturally help each other.

The other party has reached the perfect level of true realm cultivation and comes from outside the boundary river, so he should have no problem dealing with Wan Zhencang.

"No."

But Xitina refused directly.

Then she explained: "I promised Sister Bai Yueguang that I would continue to stay here to help and wait until the big lantern party is over before leaving. Unless my husband is willing to stay with me, you have to wait until I go out before I can help you."
