The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

"Brother Lin Yi!"

Tao Mengdie hooked her arm around Lin Yi's, her voice soft.

Lin Yi smiled and casually ruffled her hair. "Mengdie is so cute!"

This display of affection made Ye Qingwan and An Xinyue feel envious.

Ren Tianxing was even worse off; he practically ground his teeth to dust!

On what grounds?

How could a useless person who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage be surrounded by three fairies?

Ye Qingwan took a deep breath, suppressing the slight dryness in her throat, "Regarding the resources... I'll give you double!"

Lin Yi tilted his head and smiled, "Saintess Qingwan, we don't lack that right now."

"I have Senior Sister Xinyue and Sister Mengdie, and I'm living a very comfortable life."

Ye Qingwan was stunned on the spot.

So what is he after?

Could it be... my body?

Lin Yi winked at Tao Mengdie, then turned and left.

An Xinyue understood immediately, reached out and took his arm, laughing as they walked, "Husband, how was that performance just now?"

Lin Yi nodded and laughed out loud, "That was awesome! Didn't you see the regretful look on Ye Qingwan's face? It was so satisfying!"

"And Ren Tianxing was so angry he stomped his feet on the spot!"

An Xinyue's eyes darted around, "You flirted with her and then ran away, leaving her standing there bewildered... Isn't that a bit too unethical?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Haven't you been wanting to provoke Ye Qingwan for a while? When we get back to the sect, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

An Xinyue blinked. "Oh~ how would you be satisfied?"

Lin Yi didn't answer, he just raised his hand.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Three crisp sounds, very rhythmic!

An Xinyue was stunned at first.

next second.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she raised her hand to punch his shoulder. "You shameless bastard! You're absolutely wicked!"

The flying sword leaped into the air, leaving Bao'an City and heading straight for the Dan Ding Sect's mountain gate.

The mountain wind howled, but An Xinyue remained as steady as a rock as she rode her sword, while Lin Yi wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

But just as the sword light swept across the sky above Wolf Valley...

"Buzz—!"

Eight chilling and bone-piercing spiritual pressures suddenly exploded out, like eight iron chains binding the entire sky!

The flying sword let out a whistle and fell silent, its spiritual light extinguished, and it plummeted straight down!

"Stand behind me!"

An Xinyue reacted quickly, holding her sword horizontally in front of Lin Yi.

Eight men in black robes, all at the peak of Foundation Establishment!

The leader's voice was sinister. "Miss An, leave that man behind, you go."

"Trying to harm him?! Impossible!"

An Xinyue snorted coldly, "My Golden Core guard was just temporarily transferred this morning... You guys are quite accurate in stopping me."

"kill!"

Blades flashed, talisman fire blazed, and poisonous mist erupted all at once!

They swarmed towards Lin Yi!

"court death!"

An Xinyue shouted sharply, and the Crimson Flame Sword roared out, forcefully withstanding all eight killing moves!

Bang bang bang!

The aftershock hit her back, making her clothes tremble.

A flash of sword light grazed her right shoulder, cutting a three-inch-long gash, from which a drop of blood splattered out.

She felt a sweet taste in her throat and let out a muffled groan, but she didn't back down.

They still protected Lin Yi!

"Senior Sister Xinyue!"

Lin Yi's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

He pulled out a stack of explosive tags and tossed them into the air!

boom……!

The flame flickered and then went out, not even catching the corner of the other person's sleeve.

Qi Refining Stage versus Foundation Establishment Peak?

It's like trying to use tofu to strike an iron hammer!

"Useless! I'm truly useless!"

His fingernails dug into his palm, and blood seeped out.

Taking advantage of An Xinyue's momentary pause in breathing, an assassin lunged forward and thrust his weapon straight at Lin Yi's throat!

An Xinyue, exhausted, raised her hand, but it was too late!

Lin Yi's pupils shrank sharply; death had come knocking!

At that very moment...

"Dare to touch my young master? You're practically asking for death!"

A furious roar cleaved the sky, shaking the valley!

Before the words were even finished, a crimson blade of light tore through the air, faster than lightning!

scoff!

The attacker, sword and all, was cleanly severed in two from the top of his head to his groin.

A figure as tall as an iron tower landed steadily in front of Lin Yi.

The newcomer had bulging muscles, a fierce look that could devour a person, and an aura of oppressive power emanating from him.

Golden Core cultivator!

"die!"

He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

Puff puff!

The knife rises, the head falls.

Eight Foundation Establishment Peak Stages?

Under his blade, they were not as sturdy as eight radish mounds.

Less than three breaths later.

The ground was littered with pieces of corpses, and a mist of blood filled the air.

Yue Shouzhong sheathed his sword, and in a flash, he vanished without a trace.

Lin Yi stood there, stunned. "Are your An family's bodyguards that fierce?"

An Xinyue swallowed a pill, panting as she shook her head. "I didn't bring anyone with me... This person is definitely not from the An family."

Lin Yi then turned to look in the direction where Yue Shouzhong had disappeared, his mind buzzing.

"He called me Young Master... but the Lin family is just a declining little family, where would they get a Golden Core protector?"

He shook his head and looked down at the person in his arms.

His lips were pale, the bloodstains on his shoulder were still wet, and his eyelashes were trembling slightly.

All the questions suddenly became unimportant.

"Whoever he is?"

Lin Yi's voice was very soft, "All I know is... that you bled for me."

He gently wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth with the corner of his sleeve.

An Xinyue closed her eyes, leaned into his arms, her hair brushing against his chin, "Husband, you're alright, that's more important than anything else."

A mountain breeze swept through the valley, swirling up a few withered leaves.

Some things don't need to be said outright; from that moment on, their feelings for each other deepened.

……

"Miss, I'm late!"

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

Before the words were even finished, the figure arrived.

She was an old woman wearing a gray cloth shirt, her face wrinkled like a dried orange peel, her back so hunched that it almost touched her knees, and she was leaning on a dark wooden stick.

But the moment she stood there, the air around her immediately became heavy.

"Aunt Deng!"

Upon seeing her, An Xinyue's tense shoulders instantly relaxed. "I'm fine, I won't go back to the sect... Please take us to Biyun City!"

"Azure Cloud City?"

Lin Yi's mind went blank for a moment. That was the place where he grew up, and it also held countless humiliating memories.

If this ambush wasn't orchestrated by Ren Tianxing, it was most likely the Lin family who were behind it.

After all, he had just given Lin Feng a good beating.

Lin Yi's fingers cracked as he clenched them. "It's time to settle this score with the Lin family!"

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

He can probably hold out against a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator for a few more rounds now.

But what about the later stages?

That's not a fight, that's delivering food.

"Too weak! I'm far from strong enough!"

Lin Yi roared inwardly.

For the first time, his thirst for power reached its peak.

"Husband, stop overthinking."

An Xinyue's voice was clear and bright, "The only enemies you've made so far are the Xu family of Bao'an City, Ren Tianxing of the Xuanjian Sect, and your Lin family."

"The Xu family? They're nothing but clowns."

"With a flick of my finger, I can make sure they're not even left with a bone fragment."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

This woman seemed to know all his troubles inside and out.

She even secretly planned out his next move!

He understood immediately.

Ren Tianxing has too strong a backer; he can't be touched now.

The Xu family is insignificant; they could be wiped out with a flick of the wrist.

So why does she insist on going to Biyun City?

The answer is obvious... they're after the Lin family!

Clear the place out for him, and eliminate all those who dared to use underhanded tactics, leaving no one alive!

Lin Yi stared at An Xinyue for several seconds, his gaze slowly shifting from shock to burning intensity.

She could go to such lengths for him?

……

On the other side, inside the main hall of the Lin family home.

The sandalwood incense had just been lit when it was extinguished by a burst of fury.

"Ah Feng! My son, where are you hurt?!"

Lin Zhenghai stepped through the gate, and upon hearing that his son had been beaten, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"father!!"

Lin Feng rushed forward, wailing, "It was all that good-for-nothing Lin Yi's doing!"

"He stole the Phantom Throwing Knife you gave me, and even beat me into a sorry state right in front of Sister Yuling!"

"What?!"

Lin Zhenghai slammed his palm down.

With a crack, the black iron wooden table split open with three deep fissures.

"I should have snapped his neck myself when I kicked him out!"

His chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity to add insult to injury, "Dad! He's incredibly strange right now, his strength has increased frighteningly! We need to act quickly!"

The words had barely left his mouth...

"Report!!"

A guard stumbled in, shouting, "Master! Lin Yi... Lin Yi is back! He's standing right outside the gate!"

"What?!"

Lin Zhenghai jumped to his feet, a ferocious smile spreading across his face. "This little beast, he actually delivered himself to our doorstep?"

Lin Feng shuddered. "Father! He dares to come; he must have something to rely on! What if Uncle Zhengyun suddenly returns..."

"snort!"

Lin Zhenghai shook off his hand, his eyes fierce. "Your Uncle Zhengyun was transferred to the border to manage the mountain mines last month, and he can't come back now."

"Today, no one can save him!"

At this moment, Lin Yi had already entered the Lin family's gate.

He didn't take the main road, but went straight to the small courtyard in the west corner where he lived as a child.

But where is the courtyard now?

Half of the wall had collapsed, tiles were scattered everywhere, weeds grew taller than a person, and the door frame was hanging askew.

It creaks and groans when the wind blows.

I remember all those days and nights when I was called a piece of trash!

"Young...Young Master?! Is it really you?!"

A soft, choked sob suddenly came from behind.

Lin Yi turned around, and the old steward, Song Zhuang, walked over shakily. "Young master! Listen to this old servant! Let's go!"

"Run before they surround us!"

"Lin Zhenghai has been waiting to get rid of you! The moment you showed your face, wouldn't they kill you immediately?!"
