Chapter 576: I Also Hope to Receive Junior Martial Brother’s Favor
Ruo’er spoke with such conviction that for a moment, Lin Nuo couldn’t find the words.
When he finally regained his composure, he sensed something was off.
No, there’s no way this is how it works! Have you ever seen a nurse climb into bed with a patient?
What is this, a film from the island nation?
But this world of Spirit Techniques certainly doesn’t resemble those scenes from island movies.
Am I the foolish one, or are you all just lost?
“What kind of custom involves taking care of someone by sharing a bed? Ruo’er, you were a maid! This is too much. And Senior Martial Sister, does your education permit such behavior?”
“It does. Any etiquette is not fixed. Junior Martial Brother is in a precarious situation, especially at night. If something goes wrong, I would feel guilty for a lifetime. So, sharing a bed is the best way to care for Junior Martial Brother.”
Liu Shuqin spoke earnestly and seriously, as if she truly believed it.
“You’ve taken care of him before, is it really that serious?” Lin Nuo countered.
“This time is different! Junior Martial Brother consumed the Fierce Fury Pill and has also suffered from the beastification ability of a divine-grade dragon. Logically, the dual effects are incredibly harmful! To put it bluntly, there’s a real risk of suffocating in the middle of the night, so I’m just on standby.”
“…”
Wow, so being a doctor means you can share a bed with your patient just for their safety?
Forget it. Compared to Qin Shili, these two girls are already much more modest; at least they’re not all over him.
Ah, why is it feeling a bit itchy?
Wait, what are you touching?
“Ruo’er, stop groping around! Where do you plan to put your hand? And you’re too close; I’m allergic to your fox fur.”
“No way! The last time we dual-cultivated, you didn’t mention allergies, and we were even closer then! It’s nothing~ Master, when are we dual-cultivating again? Ruo’er can’t stop thinking about it~”
“Cut it out with your nonsense! I’m half dead lying here, and you still want to dual-cultivate? You do it with yourself!”
Lin Nuo felt helpless. Ruo’er was getting more and more outrageous; was she the maid and he the servant?
This maid is living too lavishly, or maybe he’s been too kind, and she’s forgotten herself.
“Did you wash your clothes? Did you clean the room? Did you water the flowers? Is all the work done?”
“I’m done~ I’ve finished~ Because I’m Master’s maid, I only handle Master’s room. Feel free to check; it’s very clean! And I’ve taken care of the potted plants as well~”
Ruo’er said proudly, wagging her cat ears and nuzzling against Lin Nuo, seemingly invigorated by his scent.
What a professional maid! She’s incredibly efficient; she must have finished her tasks before coming to share the bed with Lin Nuo.
As Lin Nuo looked around, he found nothing to criticize; the bed was clean, and the entire room was tidy.
“When did you change back?” Lin Nuo continued to ask.
“Probably yesterday evening.”
Ruo’er pouted and chuckled:
“Senior Sister Shuqin said that the energy I had activated was spent, so I returned to normal. It’s all thanks to you, Master! If it weren’t for cultivating with you, I might have turned into a wild beast! Also, my energy helped purify the citizens who had been beastified; they’ve all turned back into humans now~”
“Just focus on saving yourself; why extend your kindness to the entire city? And you know the Purification Technique?”
“I don’t know it, but Senior Sister Shuqin does. She uses the energy I activated to purify the citizens. It’s amazing; they’re all purified now! But ultimately, it’s because of Master. Your contribution is the greatest~”
“…”
Goodness, are you two colluding to use me to save the world? How despicable!
“I’m hungry; go make some noodles.”
“Oh, okay~”
The adorable Ruo’er nudged against Lin Nuo again and planted a small kiss on his cheek.
Ever since they dual-cultivated, Ruo’er had become more reliant on Lin Nuo, her mind filled with thoughts of snuggling and kissing him daily.
Of course, what she desired the most was to dual-cultivate with Lin Nuo again, not the old way, but the newest experience.
After all, that kind of benefit is tremendous! Not only is it comfortable, but it also enhances one’s power! She felt her luck had changed significantly, as if she had been reborn.
She hoped Master would recover quickly, so they could dual-cultivate again.
Ruo’er got off the bed, slipped on her little shoes, and cheerfully headed to the kitchen to prepare a heart-shaped noodle dish for Master.
The ingredients for that heart-shaped noodle must be plentiful—wontons, shrimp, beef, vegetables—nutritious combinations that would surely leave Master savoring every bite!
As Ruo’er left the room, Lin Nuo leaned forward with some difficulty, and Liu Shuqin helped him rise.
“Junior Martial Brother really dotes on Ruo’er.”
“It’s not about doting. She’s my maid now, and I certainly don’t want her to become a wild beast. If that happens, who will do my chores?”
“I can help you with that.”
“What? Are you joking? Your status is far superior. You’re a daughter of the Liu family, how could you possibly do my chores?”
“Why not? It’s not impossible! And I’m not any delicate rich girl; I can do housework, cooking, planting, and raising animals! Junior Martial Brother has saved me multiple times, and being your maid is a huge honor. If I had a choice, I would genuinely like to be your maid.”
Liu Shuqin kept going on, leaving Lin Nuo utterly confused.
Have you lost your marbles? A precious young lady like you wants to be a maid?
But she wasn’t wrong; she had multiple talents, and Ruo’er could do most of what she could.
“Oh come on, I can’t accept that.”
“Junior Martial Brother…”
Liu Shuqin held Lin Nuo’s hand tightly, her sparkling eyes revealing a hint of tenderness.
“What’s it like to dual-cultivate with you, Junior Martial Brother? I want to know.”
“Nothing special.”
“Even so, I want to know. If I were to beastify, would you dual-cultivate with me? Would you use that method to save me? Or would you abandon me?”
Liu Shuqin leaned in even closer, directly interrogating him with an intense pressure.
What is this, interrogation?
“Such a melodramatic question.”
“Yeah, I can be quite dramatic, but it’s just for Junior Martial Brother. There’s nothing wrong with that. I can guess that your dual-cultivation with Ruo’er involves the Harmony Technique—the real connection between man and woman.”
“Only if it’s to save her.”
“I know; the situation is urgent, and Ruo’er must come first—I understand. But that doesn’t stop me from envying Ruo’er. Junior Martial Brother…”
Liu Shuqin gently lowered the strap of her dress, revealing her fair and beautiful skin, leaning closer to Lin Nuo, softly wrapping her arms around him, her tender pink lips brushing against his cheek.
The delicate scent intensified as Liu Shuqin, a soft and enchanting beauty, drew closer, making her utterly irresistible.
“I also hope to receive your favor, but… can I?”
