"I asked you to take me to see Lin Yu or the Flower Fairy, so why did I end up on that ship, and Zhen Li was there too!"
Lin Yun snapped and gave Hu Yuling a smack, causing her to let out a piercing shriek, which frightened Lin Yun into quickly setting up a soundproof spell formation beside them to avoid being heard by Zhen Li or Xiao Qing, lest they suspect him of having peculiar tastes.
