Chapter 121: I Want to Become a Person Who Upholds Justice!

Chapter 121: I Want to Become a Person Who Upholds Justice!

The side effects of the Fiery Explosive Dan are truly intense. Even though Lin Nuo has Liu Shuqin’s spirit protection, his recovery is at a snail’s pace, and he’s currently walking with a limp, half a disabled person, truly a testament to his indomitable will.

However, even like this, he refuses to be supported by the other girls—how can a major villain accept help? That would be utterly shameful.

Right now, he’s heading to the scorched earth site, eager to witness the power of the [Heavenly Fire] meteorite.

He uses his spirit sword for support, taking each step with effort.

“Young Master Lin, please wait a moment.”

A soldier hurriedly approaches and hands him a cane.

“Young Master Lin, your legs haven’t healed, and using the sword is not convenient. Take this cane, it will be useful.”

Lin Nuo glances at the cane, scoffing. How can a major villain stoop to using such a piece of junk?

“This is useless, I have my own.”

“Young Master Lin, using a cane is indeed more comfortable.”

“Useless, take it back.”

Lin Nuo ignores the soldier’s goodwill and continues to support himself with his sword, striding forward with a proud demeanor—after all, there must be some chivalrous aura.

What? Chivalrous aura?

Later, he found himself leaning on the cane after all.

He arrives at the edge of the scorched earth, gazing at the pitch-black ground, sighing deeply.

What a pity.

It’s not that he mourns the countless souls lost—after all, as a villain himself, wiping out a swarm of people with just a small strike was nothing unusual, and mountains of corpses and rivers of blood were daily occurrences for him.

What he laments is that such a magnificent meteorite from the heavens didn’t hit the protagonist Su Kexin. What a waste!

At that time, he lied about going to the South City Gate of Hu City, and it just so happened that some elite aliens rushed there, leading Su Kexin to take her troops over, thereby narrowly missing the disaster.

The outcome of events left a very unpleasant taste.

Besides that, he also ran off to rescue Liu Shuqin, which is just ironic—here he is plotting with a meteorite conspiracy and still going to save the damsel in distress!

Lin Nuo looks up at the sky, letting out a long sigh.

“Planning relies on man, while results rely on heaven.” (Zhuge Liang: Hey, you’re stealing my lines!)

The protagonist enjoys not only physical blessings but also the favor of destiny—everything is in her favor.

When will I, Lin Nuo, borrow a bit of that destiny?

However, Lin Nuo won’t easily succumb because his principle is to know one’s fate yet not yield to it.

If one plan doesn’t work, just change to another.

A cold wind blows against him, and Lin Nuo, with a dog tail grass in his mouth, feels a bit jaded.

*Tap tap* The sound of footsteps approaches.

Lin Nuo turns and sees a young girl.

Luo Yi.

He had guessed she would come; after all, this girl has not stopped smiling since she first met him, and one glance shows mischief in her eyes.

“Hero Lin!”

Luo Xiaoxue comes running up to him.

Lin Nuo waves his hand: “My surname is Lin, no need for ‘hero.’”

“But you’re a hero! Everything you’ve done is a perfect representation of a righteous hero, isn’t it?”

“Stop it.”

Lin Nuo covers his face, feeling that Luo Yi is just rubbing salt in his wounds.

What nonsense! I’m a major villain, and you call me the greatest embodiment of a righteous hero?

Eyes aren’t needed? They can be donated to those in need.

“Call me Lin Nuo.”

“Alright, Young Master Lin.”

“…Whatever. Just don’t call me ‘hero.’ Is there something you want?”

“Yes.”

Luo Xiaoxue cheerfully circles around Lin Nuo, examining him like a doctor would.

If Lin Nuo weren’t half a disabled person right now, he would have flipped her over with a left kick, a right whip kick, and a left punch, knocking her down.

Oh wait, she has the Great Dragon Guardian; never mind, I’ll let it slide.

“What are you doing?”

“You’re Lin Fanpai, right?” Luo Xiaoxue asks with a grin.

“Who’s Lin Feifan?”

“It’s Lin Fanpai, the name you mentioned last time.”

“I said that? You must be mistaken.”

“Nope, I just checked! Your demeanor, your expression, your eyes, your tone, your words—they’re all just like Lin Fanpai’s, even the structure of your face! I have a lot of confidence in recognizing people, you are definitely him.”

“You can think what you want, I really don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Lin Nuo refuses to admit that Lin Fanpai is his alias. What’s wrong with you? You think you can cross over and dig into my past?

After spending some time together, Luo Xiaoxue has figured out Lin Nuo’s character—cold on the outside but warm on the inside; there’s no way he would easily admit to being Lin Fanpai.

Luo Xiaoxue won’t give up on talking to him, since she finally found him and must properly express her gratitude.

She stands next to Lin Nuo, both gazing ahead at the charred earth and the massive pit, having only heard of catastrophic natural disasters before, yet this is her first time witnessing one.

Coming from a royal family, she’s known that royalty can rule the world and boasts that humanity can conquer nature, but in the face of great disasters, everyone is so insignificant.

Thousands of soldiers turning into souls in just an instant.

Thus, she no longer feels proud of her status as a princess. As a human, no identity ultimately holds value against nature.

She begins to respect nature and to be humble and low-key, refusing to look down on everything because of her special identity.

Speaking of humility and low-key, Lin Nuo exemplifies it perfectly.

“Young Master Lin, let me tell you something interesting.”

“Not interested.”

“Earlier, when I was in danger, I met a remarkably handsome hero. He appeared cold and indifferent, but his righteous actions were filled with compassion. He introduced me to a delicious snack from the streets called Meat Floss Cake, and he even put medicine inside it.”

“Medicine?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo is shocked—what the heck? This girl actually discovered the hidden medicine!

It must be the side effects of the Fiery Explosive Dan that injured her severely—maybe she came to settle the score after recovering.

Yes, she’s smiling on the outside, but internally she’s cursing him. No wonder he’s run so far only to bump into her; she must have come prepared.

So beneath that angelic face lies a heart bent on revenge, huh?

Regardless of how things are, Lin Nuo stays calm—after all, losing one’s cool is not a mistake he makes.

“Yes, there was indeed some medicine; it felt off when I ate it. But I’m really grateful to him because I feel cold all the time, and no matter how I treat or care for myself, it never gets better. I was deeply despairing, but this hidden medicine in the Meat Floss Cake helped me with my cold condition.”

“Hm? No side effects?”

“None at all! My body feels much warmer and more comfortable, and there are no other side effects.”

“Oh.”

Lin Nuo suddenly realizes something.

This Fiery Explosive Dan actually cured Luo Yi’s cold constitution? And no side effects? Wow, is this the legendary balance of yin and yang?

That constitution, I’m all in, can I get one too? I want to eat the Fiery Explosive Dan again.

“I want to express my gratitude to him, but I know he’s low-profile and wouldn’t care for material thanks. So I’ve decided to become someone who upholds righteousness like him; that should be the best way to repay him,” Luo Xiaoxue says with a smile.

“……”

What a bunch of nonsense.
