Chapter 1024: Sure Enough, She’s Involved

This little girl’s intuition radar is pretty impressive, Lin Nuo thought, feeling like he was getting closer to his destination. The air still held a trace of energy similar to Demon Qi; perhaps this was the legendary Demon Slaughter Qi.

The concentration wasn’t high, but it could be deadly—just imagine how dangerous that could be!

If that crack opens up and a large amount of Demon Slaughter Qi spills into the human realm, wouldn’t that mean total chaos and suffering?

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

But what did that have to do with him? After all, he was just a reincarnator who didn’t even get to the showdown with Su Kexin in his past life.

If given the chance this time, he might open the crack and let in the Demon Slaughter Qi and maybe even things from the Demon Realm. What would happen to this world then? Who knows.

Hehe, how interesting.

But in his current state, it might be a bit of a challenge.

He wondered about the little girl; perhaps she had the ability to open the crack.

The little girl was getting more and more scared, hesitating with every step, afraid to continue forward.

“Why aren’t you moving?”

As Lin Nuo walked along, he turned around to see the little girl had been standing still for quite a while, not budging.

“Big brother, I think I’ll wait for you here. I don’t want to walk any further.”

“Why? Are you worried about danger?”

“I feel there’s danger. I don’t want to go anymore; I hope big brother won’t keep going either. If something happens…”

“Nothing will happen. Are you coming or not?”

“I, I won’t go…”

“Not going? Alright.”

Lin Nuo walked back to the little girl; they had come this far, how could he let her not move?

He squatted down and simply hoisted the little girl onto his shoulder.

“Ah…? Big brother, please don’t do this!”

“You don’t have a choice.”

Cold-hearted Lin Nuo just carried the little girl off; anyone who didn’t know might think a mountain bandit had taken a pretty girl to be his child bride.

“Big brother, put me down, boo hoo…”

The little girl was about to cry, her instincts strongly warning her not to go any further or something terrible would happen.

But with her delicate frame, how could she struggle? She was easily carried off by Lin Nuo.

Soon, Lin Nuo finally spotted that crack. Unlike what he saw before, this one wasn’t attached to the rock layer but hung in the air.

Now that looked really cool; this was the kind of spatial crack that was supposed to exist. The ones appearing on the ground really looked like rock seams—what a joke.

Tearing through space, appearing as a portal—now that’s how it should be done, grand and majestic!

However, the crack was quite small, about seven or eight meters long—not exactly earth-shattering.

Only a faint light glimmered from the crack, completely blocking any view of what was inside.

But one could vaguely hear some low growls, like the sounds of ferocious beasts.

This made the little girl even more frightened; she covered her eyes, not daring to look at the scene before her.

“Can you hear that?” Lin Nuo asked her.

“Mm… Are we encountering wild beasts…?”

“Maybe. Actually, I don’t really know what they look like.”

Lin Nuo set the little girl down. She tried to peek through her fingers, seeing the air crack, and instinctively hid behind Lin Nuo, clutching his clothes, shouting:

“Ah! Beasts! So scary!”

“What beasts? Where? What do you see?”

“They’re in there! So scary, beasts! They are more brutal than the wild wolves and tigers! Big brother, let’s leave here; we shouldn’t stay!”

“Wait, you see things in there?”

Lin Nuo was surprised; a bright light was blocking the crack, so how could she see beasts?

Did she activate some sort of X-ray vision? How much would that cost? I could use one!

This piqued Lin Nuo’s curiosity even more—what kind of beasts was she talking about?

Were they beasts from the Demon Realm? Would they taste good when roasted?

“Mm… I saw them, they’re inside! Terrifying beasts, and some very vicious people! They’ll catch us and eat us! Big brother, let’s hurry and leave!”

Look at that, she was scared to tears again, trying to drag Lin Nuo away.

“What are you afraid of? Can’t you see they can’t pounce on us? I’ve locked them in there; they can’t cause trouble.”

Lin Nuo seriously tried to reassure the little girl, but the barrier between realms was what kept them separated.

“Mm… Is it you, big brother…?”

Hearing this, the little girl felt a bit more at ease, realizing Lin Nuo seemed more reliable.

“Yes, you don’t need to be afraid. Nothing will happen.”

Lin Nuo continued, but unfortunately, he had no clues about the girl’s connection to the Demon Realm; when he asked her, she remembered nothing.

“Do you know what’s inside?”

Lin Nuo pointed at the crack, asking the little girl.

“I don’t know… but it’s so scary inside. Big brother, don’t let them out, or they’ll eat us.”

“Alright, stop grabbing at me. You’re going to rip my clothes. There’s nothing to be afraid of in there; don’t jump to conclusions.”

Lin Nuo spoke seriously, but then a voice came from the crack:

“Human child really knows nothing about the heavens and the earth.”

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing that voice, Lin Nuo immediately became alert, though his words dripped with sarcasm:

“So, you’re a voice from the Demon Realm? So what? You think you can just come here and beat me up?”

“Hahahaha. It seems you surviving isn’t just luck. A human child actually knows about us from the Demon Realm. Hahaha, impressive. Child, shall we make a deal?”

“Hmm? I can make a deal with you? I’m truly flattered.”

Lin Nuo chuckled; was he really just a child to them, yet somehow he had value?

Let’s see what kind of deal you’re proposing.

“Of course. Child, do you wish to enjoy all the world’s sweets? Have endless riches? Or do you have wishes? We can help fulfill them. But the prerequisite is to deliver the girl beside you to us.”

“Oh? Her?”

Lin Nuo raised an eyebrow; so it was that little girl after all.

The little girl was terrified, hiding behind Lin Nuo, daring to peek occasionally but not wanting to look towards the Demon Realm.

“Why her? Give me a reason.”

“This matter is quite complex; it’s something a child like you wouldn’t understand. Just bring her to us, and we can grant your wishes.”

“Ha. You really think I’m a child, huh?”

Lin Nuo chuckled, starting to mock the other party:

“Please, I’m still alive and even aware of matters related to your Demon Realm. I even know this little girl is special. You approach me with this attitude? Not being straightforward? Whether I understand or not is a separate issue. This isn’t going to work. Aren’t you trying to open the crack? Speak up; otherwise, this won’t be a collaborative effort at all.”
