Chapter 609

Aglaya noticed someone approaching, turned around slowly, and asked softly, "Lin Yu, you came to see me, is there something wrong?"

Lin Yu was about to speak when Xia Die, who had been standing beside him, suddenly said, "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Wait..." Lin Yu called out to her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Die turned around and looked at Lin Yu calmly.

"Can you tell me more about your ability? I'm very curious." Lin Yu has always been curious about Xia Die's ability.

"I'm sorry, this topic is a bit heavy and I don't want to elaborate on it. After you finish talking with Aglaya, go back to the Bath Palace to rest as soon as possible." Xia Die frowned slightly, and a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in her eyes, as if this topic touched the pain deep in her heart that she didn't want to mention.

"Is that so..." Lin Yu was a little disappointed. He thought he could uncover the secret of Xiadie's ability, but he didn't expect to get such a response.

While Lin Yu was in deep thought, Xia Die had already turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing in the space where light and shadow intertwined.

Xia Die knew in her heart that although Lin Yu was very likely immune to her abilities, she still did not dare to come into contact with Lin Yu. After all, she was the shadow of "death", and that mysterious and dangerous power was like an invisible barrier that separated her from everyone else.

"Aglaya, can we talk?" Lin Yu turned his head and looked at Aglaya, with a hint of entanglement and confusion in his eyes.

"What to talk about?" Aglaya tilted her head slightly.

"Those words of Tibao... make me very concerned. Why did you do something to me that you shouldn't have done?" There was a hint of urgency in Lin Yu's tone. He really couldn't understand the reason behind Aglaya's behavior.

Afterwards, Lin Yu told Aglaya everything that Tibao had said, and every word carried his inner doubts.

Lin Yu really cared about it. After all, Aglaya had never "inquired" with sincerity in this way. This special treatment made him feel uneasy like a deer in his heart.

"If you just want to understand me, why did you take off all your clothes? If you want to see my embarrassed state, then just ignore what I said." Lin Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, his eyes were full of confusion, and he stared straight at Aglaya, desperately wanting a reasonable explanation.

Aglaya was slightly startled. She expected Lin Yu to have such a reaction. After a moment of silence, she sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and apology in her eyes. "Lin Yu, you misunderstood. Things are far from as simple as you think. This is not to see you make a fool of yourself, nor is it a joke without reason."

She looked at Lin Yu sincerely and slowly explained, "Lin Yu, you are new to the Holy City. To us, you are an unknown existence. In the current crisis-ridden situation, the safety of the Holy City cannot afford any mistakes. I must confirm whether you are a threat to the Holy City."

Aglaya paused and continued, "Although the golden thread I have can sense the inner fluctuations and emotional changes of others, it is far from enough."

"In the special ancient tradition of Omphalus, there is a special way of asking questions, which is to be completely honest, discard all external disguises and covers, so that each other's souls can communicate directly."

She lowered her head slightly, with a complicated expression. "Although there is such a tradition, my intention behind taking off my clothes is actually to... confuse you. When people are emotionally unstable, their inner defenses will be relaxed. This way, I can more accurately judge your true thoughts and intentions and ensure that the Holy City will not face potential dangers."

"The situation was extremely urgent at the time. The shadow of the black tide was looming over us at all times. Every potential threat could be the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Holy City. I couldn't afford to hesitate at all."

"I know this method is a big shock to you, and may even make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, but I have no choice. I must get the most truthful answer in the shortest time." Aglaya raised her head, her eyes full of apology.

"Feel sorry.."

"Just to ask... I have to take off my clothes..." Lin Yu muttered to himself, falling into deep thought.

Aglaya seemed to know what Lin Yu was thinking, so she hurriedly explained, "This is the first time I have exposed my body to others. I am not a promiscuous woman in private. I have to do this because of the situation. I hope you can understand my difficulties." There was a hint of anxiety and earnestness in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Lin Yu would have a bad impression of her because of this.

Lin Yu scratched his head slightly, with an embarrassed yet teasing smile on his face, "I thought you were interested in me." There was a hint of tentativeness in his words.

Aglaya's eyes met Lin Yu's gaze calmly, and her voice was soft but clear, "I have never been in love. All along, protecting the holy city and dealing with various crises has been my whole life. I really don't have the time and energy to experience this special emotion.

At this point, Aglaya paused slightly, a gleam in her eyes, and then said, "However, if you want me to have that kind of feeling for you, you might as well try and see if you can make me have feelings for you." There was a hint of playfulness in her tone, as if she was playing a little joke on Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Aglaya to respond to him so frankly.

Aglaya looked at Lin Yu's embarrassed look and couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, take your time. Things like feelings can't be rushed. It takes time to cultivate."

Lin Yu looked up at Aglaya and found that her smile at the moment was so vivid, which was completely different from her usual image of shouldering heavy responsibilities and being slightly serious, which made him a little stunned.

"Why, are you scared by what I just said? Don't you dare to try?"

Lin Yu came back to his senses and waved his hands quickly, "No way! I'm just thinking about what special way I can use to make you feel for me. After all, you are not an ordinary woman, and you have special gold threads."

"Then tell me, what special method do you plan to use? I'm very curious."

"I can't tell you this right now. I have to keep it a bit mysterious. But don't worry, I will definitely think of a way to impress you."

Aglaya chuckled, "Then I'll wait and see."

"Okay, from now on, I will officially launch an 'offensive' against you. You better be prepared."

Aglaya nodded slightly, "I'll wait, I hope you can give me a surprise."

Despite this, Lin Yu inexplicably agreed to this "special" mission.

After Aglaya left, he stood there alone. A breeze blew by, ruffling his hair, but it couldn't blow away the confusion in his heart.

Falling in love... the target is Aglaya?

Make Aglaya interested in me?

This difficulty... seems a bit high.

Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh, secretly regretting his impulsiveness just now.

Aglaia is an important golden descendant of the Holy City. She devotes herself to protecting the Holy City and dealing with various crises. Her mind is completely focused on the safety of Omphalos. It is not easy to win her heart.
