Chapter 1125: Chapter 1130: Confessing the Truth
"This is exactly why I wanted to talk you out of joining the operation just now..." Lin Feng smiled calmly, picked up a bottle of beer, took a gulp, and said casually to Ye Lin, "Tongue Sword is one of the Sky Slaughter Organization’s fighters who specializes in sneak attacks. He’s very good at shooting hidden weapons from his mouth, and ordinary people can’t notice anything off at all... Luckily my good bro Xiang Wang’s strongest point is analyzing everyone’s fighting style. He immediately spotted something off about that guy and sent me a heads-up in advance! Otherwise, that hidden weapon he just spat out, I might not have been able to dodge it!"
Ye Lin looked at Lin Feng with a bit of emotion. Only Lin Feng could have subdued that Tongue Sword. If it had been her going up instead, even with a warning in advance, she probably still wouldn’t have been able to subdue him, let alone dodge such a terrifying mouth-shot hidden weapon...
Ye Lin remembered clearly that the hidden weapon Tongue Sword spat from his mouth was almost as fast as a bullet fired from an ordinary gun. It was a speed that gave you absolutely no time to react!
"But the slightly comforting part is, right now I’m in China. No matter how arrogant the Sky Slaughter Organization is, if they want to launch back-to-back attacks on me in a short time, that won’t be easy..." Lin Feng grinned at Ye Lin. "Miss Ye, what else do you want to know?"
"How come you know so much about the Sky Slaughter Organization?" Ye Lin stared at Lin Feng with burning eyes and asked very seriously.
"That’s not something your bro agreed to talk about..." Lin Feng’s face showed a smug smile after hearing Ye Lin’s question. "Ye great beauty, if you really want to know, let your bro have a kiss, then your bro will tell you!"
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Ye Lin’s face flushed. "Tch, you think I’ll fall for that! Say it or don’t, I couldn’t care less!" It seemed Lin Feng had never changed, still such a lech. This guy already had several female companions and still dared to sweet-talk her like that—unbelievable! Ye Lin thought angrily to herself.
"Oh... since you’re not curious at all... then I’ll just keep quiet!" After glancing at Ye Lin’s expression with a smiling face, Lin Feng actually started drinking in silence, not saying another word.
With Lin Feng not speaking, Ye Lin didn’t feel anything at first, but after a while, she suddenly felt a strange curiosity welling up inside, like her heart was being scratched, and she simply couldn’t control that curiosity.
There had to be secrets about Lin Feng that no one knew! Ye Lin shot Lin Feng a sidelong glance and thought with certainty, "Otherwise this guy wouldn’t be so familiar with the Sky Slaughter Organization. He’s just a young man around twenty. How could he have that kind of experience?!"
Lin Feng noticed Ye Lin sneaking looks at him, but he said nothing, just kept a faint smile on his face, drinking while watching Ye Lin’s reactions.
"Lin Feng..." Ye Lin looked at him seriously and suddenly spoke.
"Yeah?"
"You’re sure you won’t lie to me? You’ll honestly tell me your secret?" Ye Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, asking somewhat solemnly and nervously, "Not just the Sky Slaughter Organization thing, but also why your cultivation is improving so fast?"
"Of course I won’t lie to you..." Lin Feng said cheerfully to Ye Lin. "But, you can’t go back on the condition you agreed to..."
"I won’t, I won’t..." Ye Lin nodded with a faint blush on her face, her beautiful eyes wide as she stared at Lin Feng. "Go on, why do you know the Sky Slaughter Organization so well, and why is your Inner Strength advancing so fast?!"
Lin Feng looked at Ye Lin in some surprise. This girl actually didn’t refuse to let him kiss her just to satisfy her curiosity. Was this for real?
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, recalling all the things that had happened between him and Ye Lin: their life-and-death moments together in the training camp, and that scene where, right before her eyes, her father Ye Zhong, looking relaxed, handed that precious Ban-breaking Elixir to him. In the end, Lin Feng made up his mind...
He decided to trust Ye Lin once and reveal a bit of that deepest secret in his heart to her...
"Ye Lin, you’re well-read and knowledgeable. You must’ve heard of a very bizarre phenomenon called ’borrowing a corpse to return a soul’!" Lin Feng looked into Ye Lin’s eyes and spoke seriously.
"What are you trying to say?" Ye Lin frowned, not understanding what Lin Feng was getting at.
"Actually, a year ago, I was originally an enemy of the Sky Slaughter Organization... Later I was set up and killed, died with my eyes open, and finally resurrected in Jiangzhou..." Lin Feng said to Ye Lin with a straight face, watching her reaction very intently.
"Bullshit!" Ye Lin was stunned at first, then instantly flew into a rage. She glared at Lin Feng viciously, her face full of anger. "Lin Feng, if you don’t want to tell me the truth, then don’t start spouting nonsense... You think I’d believe this crap? Borrowing a corpse to return a soul—why don’t you just say you’re an alien?!"
Lin Feng was dumbfounded... Ye Lin’s over-the-top reaction was a bit beyond what he’d expected.
Lin Feng had guessed that Ye Lin might not believe him, but he hadn’t thought she’d blow up like this!
What he understood even less was Ye Lin’s next move...
All he felt was a sudden blur of movement in front of his eyes. With a whiff of fragrance, a soft, warm body flung itself into his arms, and then—straight up a kiss...
Lin Feng’s eyes flew wide open as he stared at Ye Lin’s angry eyes right in front of him, a bit at a loss...
Time seemed to freeze in that instant. Ye Lin’s kiss on Lin Feng lasted a full twenty-plus seconds before she finally pushed him away with a flushed face, sat back down on the sofa opposite him, and muttered, "Lin Feng, I just look down on you. If you want to kiss me, just say it directly. It’s not like I’d definitely refuse. Why do you have to make up all that crap to trick me..."
But I was telling the truth... Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated by Ye Lin’s reaction. Still, he could be considered to have gotten what he wanted; he’d successfully kissed Ye Lin. Even if he was the one who got reverse-pounced, it still felt pretty good...
The embarrassed blush on Ye Lin’s face wouldn’t go away. After downing a few more drinks, she snuck a cautious glance at Lin Feng and whispered, "Lin Feng, I’m feeling a bit dizzy. Walk me back."
Lin Feng had never seen Ye Lin speak in such a gentle tone before, and he couldn’t help but feel a ripple in his heart.
His breathing suddenly grew a little heavier, and he felt something stirring inside. Maybe Ye Lin was hinting something at him?
No, no, at this place, at this time, it doesn’t really fit. I can’t let my thoughts run wild. Lin Feng warned himself silently, shaking his head, trying to stay clear-headed.
