Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 787 787: Elegance
"This is something unheard of. I want to know if it's true. Hey, this book was originally created by the dead Emperor to commemorate the beautiful lady who knew her own soul. It seems the deceased Emperor was a unique figure. Lin Yun couldn't help himself at first and reminisced about the elegance of the Ming Dynasty. He thought to himself, if he possessed even half the grace of the Ming Dynasty, he would die without complaint or regret."
"This book was created by none other than the ruthless Nether King, so it's absolutely real," the voice of Mystic White Jade echoed in Lin Yun's mind. Lin Yun shook his head, still finding it unimaginable. But he believed this book had been lying dormant in the library, untouched by anyone. Today, by chance, it fell into his lap. He considered it good fortune. If Lin Yun hadn't merged with Mystic Jade's spirit, even if Lin Yun had obtained this remote meditation, he wouldn't have understood the contents."
Perhaps this book had been read before, but because its secrets couldn't be deciphered, someone might have abandoned it. Over time, the book had been forgotten in a dusty corner of the library."
"What a pity, this book is so powerful yet relegated to a neglected corner. Fortunately, I've understood it. From now on, I'll spread its knowledge to honor the Emperor by doing something worthwhile. However, I'll memorize its contents as quickly as possible and then burn it. If anyone were to discover this secret, I'd treasure it dearly. This knowledge could become a crime pursued by powerful individuals worldwide." Lin Yun shuddered at the thought. He spent the entire night reading the book ten times. Once he became fundamentally familiar with it, he dared to set it ablaze."
After the book was completely burned, Lin Yun felt a bit more at ease. Now, this book existed only in Lin Yun's mind, unknown to anyone else."
Lin Yun exhaled slowly and walked to the window. Outside, dawn had already broken. After staying up all night, Lin Yun now felt a bit sleepy. His eyelids began to droop, and he unknowingly drifted off to sleep. In his dreams, Lin Yun reveled in extravagant feasts—roast fish, braised pig trotters, roasted lamb, and more. The food was delightfully delicious. He felt an embrace, warm like a mother's hug, though the mother's face was invisible."
Unexpectedly, Lin Yun slept so ungracefully that even the bed was soaked by the series of odd "halal dishes" that had filled his dream."
When Lin Shuo woke up, it was already afternoon. He never imagined that this sleep would last three hours."
Lin Shuo stretched lazily. Something happened—he felt a pang of hunger. His stomach was empty and growling."
Lin Yun was astonished. He went to the kitchen, grabbing two large, white melons in his hands. He ate them. The land-grown melons were delicious, but he didn't grow tired of them. After eating three melons in one sitting, Lin Shuo felt full. He knew he had to descend the mountain to reorient himself."
Meanwhile, the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, akin to facing the Immortal Realm, as if painting alone."
Mr. Lin remarked that the place he lived differed from the mountain. From his vantage point, he could gaze upon a sea of clouds and the mist-shrouded peaks of surrounding mountains. He couldn't discern what animals roamed the deep forest. Lin Shuo said he never ventured far too deep. He confessed that when he temporarily arrived at the rear mountain, he never strayed far because he feared getting lost or encountering wild creatures that might prevent his return."
Lin Shuo commented that he wasn't as adept as Hei Kui at flying down mountains; he laboriously climbed down instead."
"The cliff was steep," Lin Shuo said. "The distance from the mountain's summit to the deep pit below marked its grandeur. Descending into the valley below, what lay open before me was a green lake, tranquil and mirror-like." The lake, born within the mountain, was nourished by the sweet spring waters flowing from atop the peaks. In the lake dwelled spiritual birds, and by its shores, Immortals drank and played."
Immersing himself briefly in the idyllic sights, Yun Lin moved through the grass toward the lake. Unfolding himself near the waters, he could appreciate the beauty of this place, deeming the trip worthwhile."
Before Lin Hai could ponder further, he spotted the lake's bottom. Not far in, within the rocky underground encased by stone walls, Shuilian Cave revealed itself. Lin Qi, eager to explore, heard someone singing. The melody sounded like the spirit of a bird—a touching tune. Hidden outside the cave behind a massive rock, Lin Qi whispered."
What he saw next left Lin speechless. He was so heated he almost got a nosebleed. In the pool beneath the cave sat a stunning woman, her delicate skin glistening like snow submerged in water. If the world's most beautiful soul could ever intoxicate someone, then it would rival even God."
Upon seeing the captivating sight, Lin Yun felt his heart race inexplicably. At first, he couldn't help but create scenarios of an ordinary girl bathing."
"It's thrilling to know such a beautiful woman exists in this world. If I could have someone like her as my companion, I'd willingly trade ten years of my life," Lin thought wildly as he inadvertently nudged a stone beneath his foot. With a loud clatter, the stone fell into the pond, its sound echoing."
"Uh-oh," Lin Shuo muttered nervously. Dropping the stone would surely disturb the enchanting woman."
"Who's there?" The girl, who had been frolicking in the water, swirled into a playful dance, exhaled softly, and then swiftly dived into the depth of the pool."
Seeing the girl, Lin Yun felt his body heat up as he snapped back to reality, calming his flushed face. If she approached him, would he manage to stay composed? Clearly, the girl's dominion over the situation pricked his male pride."
Lin Shuo clumsily retreated into the grass, inching away in relief. Yet, as he moved, who would've thought he'd attract the attention of the gorgeous girl standing in her attire?
She was draped in violet silk, like heaven's deity. Her disdain wafted through the cold air. Her form seemed enveloped in ethereal violet ambiance."
As Lin observed the mesmerizing woman, he marveled at her beauty, as though she were suspended in the heavens. Recognizing the perilous allure of the moment, he suddenly felt uneasy. The girl held an unmatched radiance akin to a Fairy amidst gusts of wind—a refreshing yet divine presence."
"Little man, you dared to peek at me bathing?" The girl frowned slightly and whispered, her tone soft yet cutting."
Lin kept his hands folded tightly, pretending not to hear. "Me? Watching you bathe? Sister, what are you talking about? Do you mean you…? You think someone as shameless as me would do such a thing?" Lin stammered, his thoughts turning chaotic as he tried to salvage his honor."
She bit her lip lightly, the anger on her face softening. Despite his awkwardness, she discerned Lin Yun's sincerity and hesitated over her conflicting emotions."
"Could it truly be unintentional?" The gentle girl's composure returned."
"Me? A mere voyeur? No way. You must've mistaken me," Lin Shuo protested earnestly."
Lin's appearance wasn't anything to scoff at. His well-defined features, radiant eyes, upright demeanor, and aura imbued with familial significance made him admirable."
Noticing Lin Yunsheng's handsome features, the girl nodded slightly, now believing his words. She emerged directly."
"Alright! I trust you. But why is someone here anyway?" the girl asked, her beautiful eyes fluttering with curiosity."
"Haha... I just arrived here, so I'm not yet familiar with this area. I wanted to explore nature, to take a leisurely stroll and learn my surroundings," Lin replied with a chuckle."
"When you came here, who was your master?" she asked."
