Chapter 1046: Tasting the Cold Water through Kisses

Ruo’er was anxiously waiting, mainly worried about Lin Nuo’s safety. After all, the explosion sound from just now was significant.

However, one of her subordinates went down the mountain and brought back news.

“Miss Li, Lord Lin is down the mountain roasting meat; there’s nothing serious. We found some exploded craters down below, which might be related to the sound.”

“Oh, oh, as long as the young master is fine, that’s great! He must have gotten into a fight with someone, right? He’s alone, isn’t he?”

“Um… yes… yes…”

The subordinate hesitated, not daring to tell the truth about Lin Nuo.

“Oh, oh, sigh, it must be so lonely for the young master all alone. Where is he? I should go find him~”

Excited, Ruo’er thought about the lovely scenery. How could she not share a delicious meal with the young master?

She often went outside to roast meat with the young master and felt he really needed her as his maid, handling everything while he enjoyed his meal.

“Miss Li, didn’t Lord Lin instruct you to wait here…?”

“Oh, it’s fine, it’s so safe here; nothing will happen.”

Ruo’er was quite down-to-earth. If it were Ling Meng, she would have rebuked the subordinate for questioning the young master.

However, Ruo’er was so approachable that she lacked a certain authoritative leader image.

“Ruo’er, you really shouldn’t wander off; stay right here.”

“Ah, Mother, you say the same. Isn’t it better to go find the young master now? Besides, you’re super strong; you can take me without any issue~ The young master won’t mind~”

Ruo’er shook her ears, pulling Ni Wanqing’s hand and making a cute sound that could melt anyone’s heart.

“Um… Ruo’er, really, don’t…”

“Oh, come on, come on, Mother, you’re the best~ Right? Just take me with you~”

Ruo’er continued her adorable coaxing, and Ni Wanqing simply couldn’t withstand it; after all, her daughter was just too cute to refuse.

But would insisting on rejecting Ruo’er make her upset? After all, she had just reunited with her daughter. What if Ruo’er got angry? Ni Wanqing was worried that her beloved daughter might ignore her!

But Lin Nuo had asked her to keep an eye on Ruo’er, and she couldn’t slack off.

“Well… Ruo’er, I…”

“Let’s go, let’s go~ Mother can’t possibly say no to me, right~?”

With her sparkling bright eyes, Ruo’er’s series of pleas made Ni Wanqing finally relent.

Well then, she’d just apologize to Lin Nuo later; he shouldn’t hold a grudge.

“Alright, alright, let’s go. Our clan members have scouted the area, and there aren’t any dangers nearby.”

“Yay~! Mother is the best~ Let’s go~!”

Ruo’er pulled Ni Wanqing’s hand, skipping forward, eager to see Lin Nuo.

The Fox People couldn’t stop her; it was their fault for not telling the whole truth.

Lord Lin, you’d better look after yourself.

……

At this moment, down at the foot of the mountain, Lin Nuo and Mu Yiting were enjoying roasted meat together, sitting close and intimate.

Mu Yiting intended to feed Lin Nuo, but he dodged.

He didn’t like being fed; it was more satisfying to do things himself.

“Lin Nuo, do you want to taste the Cold Water?”

“Of course, but you can’t make it right now.”

“While I can’t create perfect Cold Water, I can let you taste a little of it. Isn’t there a river? We can use river water instead.”

“How will we do that?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Simple, I drink some, then you kiss me, and you’ll taste the Cold Water. Excited, right?”

“Isn’t kissing a bit much for that little amount?”

“Not enough? Then kiss a few more times! My lips can handle thousands of kisses; they’re enough for you! What, you’re not interested?”

Mu Yiting seductively licked the corner of her lips, the motion alluring. But for Lin Nuo, such alluring gestures couldn’t entice him; after all, he had been intimate with many girls and didn’t have a strong desire for women’s bodies.

However, the Cold Water was indeed tempting; going without it made one feel restless—it was very alluring.

Kissing was a hassle, sure, but for a taste of the Cold Water, he could compromise.

“Let’s go for it.”

“Great! Let’s move closer to the river; it’ll be easier.”

Mu Yiting smiled softly, and they inched closer to the river. She tossed back her long hair, slightly bent down, took a sip of the clear river water, but didn’t swallow it, looking at Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo signaled, then began kissing Mu Yiting.

Though it felt strange, he did taste the Cold Water.

The taste was subtle, but it was there, just barely drinkable.

This was quite something; one sip led to wanting another, and before long, they were sipping mouth-to-mouth.

“Isn’t it delightful, my dear big brother?”

Mu Yiting tossed her hair back and smiled seductively; she had won Lin Nuo’s heart—her skills were far superior to other girls.

“Indeed delightful; we should continue.”

“Sure, I’ll definitely follow your lead.”

With that, Mu Yiting repeated her earlier actions, bending down to drink then kissing Lin Nuo, continuing the cycle for him to savor the taste of the Cold Water.

Meanwhile, Ruo’er and Ni Wanqing had descended the mountain. The Fox People were still uncertain, initially intending to mislead Ruo’er, but little did they know it wouldn’t work. Ruo’er picked up on Lin Nuo’s scent and found her way.

Of course, the Fox People weren’t skillful enough to track everyone’s scent, but when it came to someone they valued, their scent was unforgettable.

Ruo’er managed that feat.

Thus, the subordinate couldn’t mislead them and led them truthfully upfront.

“Hehe, we’ll see the young master soon~ Roasting meat~ Mother, do you want to join us?”

“No, Ruo’er, I’m not used to eating roasted meat.”

“Oh, that’s such a pity; it’s delicious! The young master once said, exquisite delicacies should be savored.”

Ruo’er chuckled as they descended the mountain, and from a distance, she spotted Lin Nuo’s figure.

“There he is, the young mas…! Huh? Who’s that?!”

However, she felt something was off; the young master wasn’t alone—he was kissing another woman!

What’s happening? Why is the young master…

“Ruo’er, this… must be a misunderstanding…”

Ni Wanqing saw it too, realizing her subordinate’s hesitant words might have indicated they already knew.

“Yes, yes! There must be a misunderstanding! But I must hear the young master clarify!”

Ruo’er dashed forward, attracting Lin Nuo’s attention.

Without any killing intent, Lin Nuo wasn’t particularly sensitive to his surroundings.

But now, he felt something off.

“Hmm? Why are they here??”

Lin Nuo quickly pulled away from Mu Yiting, realizing Ruo’er and her mother were rushing toward them.
