Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 635 - 633: Immortal Island Covets the Heaven-Filling Stone

"You're really lucky," Cui Xinyun said slowly to Mo Lin.

The two of them were chatting, while the Gen Family Business members glanced over but didn't interfere.

Mo Lin stood with Cui Xinyun under the willow tree.

Cui Xinyun glanced at Yun Xue'xue in the distance, then at Luo Xiaoxiao who was wiping a magic lamp.

Seeing Cui Xinyun's gaze, Luo Xiaoxiao waved at her in greeting.

Yun Xue'xue sat on the steps, silent.

"You've got quite the luck with women, surrounded by them," Cui Xinyun said coldly to Mo Lin.

"Uh... they are all my friends..." Mo Lin explained to Cui Xinyun.

As for why all his friends were female... was it just that Mo Lin naturally got along well with women?

Mo Lin did have a few male friends, but they weren't with him at the moment.

"Since you're not dead, I'm relieved."

Seeing Mo Lin, the suppression in her heart was completely released.

"With my luck, how could I possibly die?" Mo Lin joked, patting his chest at Cui Xinyun.

"Give me the item," Cui Xinyun said slowly, extending her fair palm in front of Mo Lin.

"What item?"

"I heard you killed Hai Liang. I examined his corpse; he was killed by a powerful Magical Treasure," Cui Xinyun said slowly to Mo Lin. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"You want this?" Mo Lin slowly opened his mouth, and a purple stone appeared in front of him.

This stone was originally colorful. After Mo Lin activated the power of the Heaven-Filling Stone, it turned purple.

Purple was the stone's original color.

Seeing the Heaven-Filling Stone, Cui Xinyun frowned deeply.

"It really is the Heaven-Filling Stone..." she said, shock in her voice, with a hint of worry.

She took a deep breath, sighing heavily.

"Having the Heaven-Filling Stone is fortunate.

But you shouldn't have used it without refining it."

Cui Xinyun's dark eyes fixed on Mo Lin as she lowered her voice, "This stone will be your downfall."

As her words ended,

both Yun Xue'xue and Luo Xiaoxiao looked at Cui Xinyun.

Luo Xiaoxiao slowly stood up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Cui Xinyun.

Yun Xue'xue did the same.

They sensed a murderous intent from Cui Xinyun.

"There's no need to be wary of me. I won't harm Mo Lin," Cui Xinyun said coldly.

Only then did Luo Xiaoxiao and Yun Xue'xue return to their previous postures.

"Do you know my family background?" Cui Xinyun asked Mo Lin.

"A little..." Mo Lin didn't know much about Cui Xinyun's background.

"I come from Immortal Island,"

Cui Xinyun said slowly to Mo Lin; "My family comes from Immortal Island.

As a child, my family perished escaping Immortal Island.

I should have died too.

It was the old ancestor of the Cui Family who used his connections to forcibly preserve my life, allowing the Cui Family's bloodline to continue."

The old ancestor she mentioned is the Judge of the Underworld.

Later, Cui Xinyun survived under the Judge's protection.

She eventually entered the Underworld, where she met Mo Lin.

Mo Lin listened to her story attentively.

"Give me the Heaven-Filling Stone," Cui Xinyun demanded from Mo Lin.

"Huh?"

Did her introduction have anything to do with demanding the Heaven-Filling Stone?

Before Mo Lin could respond, Cui Xinyun forcibly took the Heaven-Filling Stone from his hands.

When Mo Lin touched Cui Xinyun's skin, he was taken aback.

Cui Xinyun's skin appeared fair and delicate, yet felt rough to the touch.

Like the coarse skin of a farmwoman working the fields.

"Your skin?" Mo Lin opened his mouth to ask.

"It's nothing, just a little rough from cultivation," Cui Xinyun explained to Mo Lin.

"Why do you want the Heaven-Filling Stone?" Mo Lin didn't think Cui Xinyun coveted his stone.

There must be a reason she wanted it.

"This thing is no good to you; I'll keep it safe," Cui Xinyun said as she pocketed the stone.

She glanced at the sky, saying, "I have some matters to attend to. I have to leave."

"Leaving already?" Mo Lin wondered, as they had spent only a few hours together.

It seemed so rushed.

Cui Xinyun didn't offer an explanation, saying to Mo Lin, "See you next time."

She left immediately.

Cui Xinyun first introduced herself, then took Mo Lin's Heaven-Filling Stone.

Leaving Mo Lin uncertain of her intentions.

...

Yun Chuan Mountain Range.

"It's confirmed; Hai Liang was killed by the Heaven-Filling Stone."

A shadowy figure surveyed the surroundings and said slowly.

"The person who killed Hai Liang was quite skilled, even destroyed his body, but the energy fluctuations around it can't be mistaken."

The shadow sniffed the air and said, "I smell a woman's scent. It was a woman who destroyed Hai Liang's body."

"The Heaven-Filling Stone's energy fluctuations have appeared in the east," an astonished woman with a ponytail exclaimed.

In her right hand was something like a mirror.

A dot of light moved swiftly on the mirror's surface.

"The Heaven-Filling Stone is moving quickly... to the east."

"Chase..."

The group immediately set out to track the Heaven-Filling Stone.

Meanwhile, Cui Xinyun was rapidly leaving with the Heaven-Filling Stone.

She didn't want to stay with Mo Lin, nor was she uninterested in catching up with him.

But because of the Heaven-Filling Stone, she had to leave Mo Lin.

For years, Immortal Island has been tracking the Heaven-Filling Stone's whereabouts.

If Mo Lin had refined the stone, he wouldn't fear Immortal Island taking it.

But the crux was that Mo Lin hadn't refined the stone and had forcibly used it.

Though Cui Xinyun had dealt with Hai Liang's body, it probably wouldn't conceal the traces of the stone.

Immortal Island would surely detect the stone's power and had likely already dispatched people to track it.

Immortal Island's power was something Mo Lin couldn't contend with.

Thus, Cui Xinyun took the stone from Mo Lin.

You could say she took the stone to help Mo Lin out of trouble.

Cui Xinyun intended to tell Mo Lin about the stone,

but decided against worrying him, so she didn't mention it or Immortal Island.

Thus, her seemingly perplexing actions.

"Rumble..."

A thunderbolt as thick as an arm struck Cui Xinyun head-on.

Cui Xinyun raised her hand to block the lightning.

"Immortal Island acted fast, arriving so quickly," Cui Xinyun said coldly at the shadows ahead.

They were merely pets of Immortal Island.

At least, they posed no life threat to Cui Xinyun.

"Hand over the Heaven-Filling Stone," a shadow scolded Cui Xinyun.

Cui Xinyun didn't waste words, quickly evading.

She didn't intend to kill these pets.

Cui Xinyun's strategy was attrition.

If she killed them, Immortal Island would send stronger forces, making things more troublesome.

The best strategy was to wear them out.

A game of cat and mouse.
