Chapter 866: Is There Any Kehan Water?

Chapter 866: Is There Any Kehan Water?

“Who is it?”

This voice felt familiar to Lin Nuo, and he instinctively turned his head.

It was a girl—a girl he greatly needed right now.

That’s right, he hadn’t had Kehan Water for a day, and he was already feeling miserable. It had been quite a while.

Seeing her made him absolutely thrilled.

Of course, he wouldn’t show his excitement, maintaining his cold demeanor.

But clearly, the girl was very excited, her emotions visible, wishing she could rush over and give Lin Nuo a big hug.

However, trouble lurked on her side.

At this moment, someone was hiding in the shadows, rapidly approaching the girl.

This shadow technique was specifically for the assassin-type Demon Practitioners; not all demon practitioners were demon masters. Some specialized in assassin skills, known for their speed and powerful single-target attacks.

There were few demonic assassins, as the existence of such people was primarily for carrying out ruthless deeds and assassinating targets, requiring high physical fitness and a mastery of techniques.

Seeing that the figure was approaching the girl at lightning speed, Lin Nuo couldn’t just stand by and watch.

As a man quick on his feet, this little trick was nothing for him.

He slammed his palm to the ground, and immediately, Demon Soul Power surged underground, transforming into a dragon shadow, racing towards the assassin’s silhouette.

However, the assassin was nimble and noticed the dragon shadow surging from beneath, quickly changing course to evade.

The dragon wasn’t quite fast enough to latch on, but it gave Lin Nuo some time to buffer.

Then, Lin Nuo dashed over, heading towards the shadow.

Alright, time to strike!

Bang!

Lin Nuo’s speed was blinding as he threw a precise and powerful punch straight at the shadow.

Boom!

The punch landed heavily, causing the assassin to reveal their true form from the shadows.

Now injured, the assassin quickly stumbled back.

Grinding his teeth, he sensed a formidable threat; despite his quick and agile skills, he was being countered.

According to the assassin’s code, if a quick attack exposed him, he shouldn’t engage head-on again.

Retreat.

Seeing he couldn’t capture the target, the assassin hurriedly fled, slipping away into the shadows.

Lin Nuo didn’t pursue, letting him go. After all, the target wasn’t him.

He needed to stabilize the situation first, so Lin Nuo withdrew his hand.

The girl was quick; just as Lin Nuo turned back, she lunged at him, hugging him tightly.

Excited? Elated? It felt as if she had encountered a legendary hero, how could she hide her excitement?

“It’s really you! I never expected to run into you here!”

This was indeed Mu Yiting, the exclusive owner of Kehan Water, just the person Lin Nuo needed.

Without Kehan Water, the quality of his life would drop significantly.

“It may be a coincidence, but let’s discuss later. Step back first while I handle this.”

Lin Nuo spoke coldly, his tone aloof yet incredibly reliable, instilling a sense of security.

“Okay.”

Mu Yiting complied, releasing her grip so he could take care of the matter at hand.

Lin Nuo dashed towards the crowd of White Foxes. They were still panicking, suffering major injuries due to the repeated attacks from the Refining Demon Sect and were close to breaking down.

But Lin Nuo appeared and saved them.

“Isn’t that Ruo’er? What a waste.”

Lin Nuo glanced at the little White Fox girl, which resembled Ruo’er, shaking his head.

Although she looked somewhat similar from behind, her face was completely different. Ruo’er was undeniably far more beautiful.

Yet he finally came across a decent gathering of White Foxes; if he continued, there might be gains.

“You, you are…?”

The White Foxes were surprised at the sudden appearance of a strange man.

“You don’t need to know who I am. Does anyone know Ruo’er?”

Lin Nuo asked coldly, but the White Foxes all looked at each other cluelessly, shaking their heads.

“Young master, we haven’t heard that name… Who is she…?”

“She’s an Immortal Fox with White Fox blood, about 14 years old, roughly the same size as this little White Fox here.”

Lin Nuo pointed at the little White Fox girl, who stepped back in fear, retreating behind her companions.

“We’ve never heard that name. However, there are some White Immortal Foxes of a similar age and size. Maybe we just call them different names, but now they are all surrounded and under attack from the Refining Demon Sect, with no way to escape…”

“No one’s trapped if they encounter me.”

Lin Nuo said coldly. While he sounded overly confident and arrogant, the aura and authority he exuded were compelling, making the White Foxes realize he was unfathomable.

“Then, please save them, and our leader… They’re all in grave danger…”

The White Foxes urgently pleaded for assistance, and Lin Nuo scolded them coldly:

“Your face while begging for help is truly pitiful. If I weren’t looking for Ruo’er, I wouldn’t lift a finger for you.”

Lin Nuo made his feelings clear. After all, he had no good impression of immortals and was far more favorable toward Demon Foxes.

Having said that, Lin Nuo retreated back to Mu Yiting, who still had her subordinates, now injured but alive thanks to Lin Nuo’s timely arrival.

“Lin Nuo, why are you here?”

“Because I’m looking for someone—my servant, Ruo’er. Have you seen her?”

“Not yet, but she could be here.”

“How did you end up here?”

“After the fall of the Demon Star, the Refining Demon Sect grew stronger. Our forces were damaged and ultimately cornered here. Moreover, some of our members show signs of demonization; if they don’t return to the Refining Demon Sect, they might die.”

“And you?”

“I? Well, there are some signs. They seem to have a curse that triggers demonization, but I can still hold on. Given time, I can dispel it,” Mu Yiting replied.

“Have you considered joining the demon path?”

“If the Refining Demon Sect is under your management, then sure, I would join. Otherwise, it’s impossible.”

Mu Yiting’s attitude was resolute; she was determined to follow Lin Nuo.

“Very well. Wait till I take over the Refining Demon Sect, and you can join then. This curse of demonization not only transforms you but also gradually erodes your body. I’ll help dispel it.”

Lin Nuo cast a simple spell, effortlessly breaking the curse within Mu Yiting.

“You’re amazing; nothing seems to challenge you,” Mu Yiting said, her eyes filled with admiration.

“Do you have any Kehan Water? I need to take a sip right now.” Lin Nuo shifted the topic; seeing the holder made him want a bottle for a refreshing drink.

“I don’t have any with me. But you can taste it the other way.”

“You mean… mouth-to-mouth?”

“Yes, it’s very pure. I know you actually want to try it, right? You just don’t want to say it. I’ll do it.”

Without reservation, Mu Yiting approached Lin Nuo and kissed him passionately.
