Chapter 1047: Dual Cultivation, Why Not Me?

Chapter 1047: Dual Cultivation, Why Not Me?

“Perfect timing, indeed.”

Lin Nuo instinctively flinched, then quickly regained his composure.

It seemed this wasn’t the first time.

Yes, everyone here had a radar for detection, appearing at just the right moments.

It was like he was receiving the treatment of a harem protagonist.

Lin Nuo remained calm and unruffled.

“Your maid is here, big brother. I suppose you should be the one managing her, not the other way around, right?”

Mu Yiting chuckled lightly, her tone dripping with sarcasm, heavy with implication.

“Of course.”

Lin Nuo felt somewhat assured; although everything was under his control, he wouldn’t scold Li Ruo’er.

He hadn’t scolded her since becoming the villain; rather, the old him would always look down on her with that high-and-mighty airs.

“Is there something you need? Didn’t we agree you’d wait on the mountain?”

“Young Master, Young Master, I wanted to join you for the barbecue! Who’s she…? Ah, is this Sister Mu?”

As Li Ruo’er drew closer, she recognized this was Mu Yiting of the Xuanyun Sect.

Li Ruo’er had little interaction with her; after all, she wasn’t from the same sect as Lin Nuo and seldom crossed paths, so their encounters were merely polite exchanges.

Meanwhile, Mu Yiting was like a charm in the Xuanyun Sect, highly respected and adored by everyone. As for Li Ruo’er, she was just a maid, with a status that put her far behind Mu Yiting, making her feel a bit inferior.

“Hello, Ruo’er, it’s been a while.”

Mu Yiting smiled, narrowing her eyes, her demeanor shifting from playful to that of a warm, charming older sister.

“Um… Sister Mu, it’s been a while… What brings you here?”

Li Ruo’er’s voice dropped noticeably; it was said one should never scold a smiling person, yet here was Li Ruo’er reproaching her.

Caught off guard.

Lin Nuo shot her a glance, thinking, you’re really the dramatic type, your character transformation is impressively quick.

“I heard you’ve become an immortal, congratulations!”

“Um, thank you, Sister… uh, wait.”

Li Ruo’er quickly shook her head; she hadn’t come to share pleasantries, she needed to get to the bottom of this! Time to assert herself.

Suddenly serious, she asked Mu Yiting:

“Sister, may I ask what you were doing with the Young Master just now?”

“What was I doing? Since Ruo’er asks, I take it you didn’t see?”

“I… I saw! You two seemed to be kissing… what’s going on?”

“Lin Shixiong, perhaps you should explain this to her.”

Mu Yiting squinted with a smile, passing the ball to Lin Nuo.

“Ahem…”

Lin Nuo cleared his throat, adjusting his tone as he replied,

“She was injured, and I needed to treat her.”

“Ah? What injury? I’m good at healing and can treat her. Besides, when does healing involve kissing?” Li Ruo’er questioned, skepticism in her voice.

“The situation was special, requiring that method to input spiritual energy. But she’s fine now,” Lin Nuo replied seriously.

“Is that so…? Alright then, Young Master, Ruo’er believes you. But Young Master, while saving people is good, you should avoid using that method in the future, okay?”

Li Ruo’er tugged at Lin Nuo’s clothing, her tone sweetly pleading.

“I have my own plans, and of course, if it’s avoidable, I won’t do it.”

He said, maintaining a serious demeanor, thinking that this little girl was easy to fool and didn’t look too deeply.

Of course, it was just that Mu Yiting was playing along; unlike the last encounter with Ling Meng, where they had a disagreement and he was pulled into the fray, sometimes ending as collateral.

“Younger Master, Younger Master, I’m hurt too! Can you kiss me?”

Li Ruo’er bounced in front of Lin Nuo, cheerful, but being too small, she couldn’t reach his face no matter how she jumped.

“Where are you hurt?”

“I have internal injuries, you can’t see them on the surface, but I need the Young Master’s kiss to heal. No, it’s dual cultivation that’s needed!”

Having experienced harmony-based dual cultivation before, Li Ruo’er frequently brought it up, especially after tasting the sweetness of it, eagerly bringing it up with Lin Nuo regardless of who was around.

As Li Ruo’er’s mother, Ni Wanqing found the term “dual cultivation” hard to utter and couldn’t fathom how her daughter could say it so easily.

However, if she hadn’t dual cultivated with the Sword Saint back then, she probably wouldn’t have Li Ruo’er, this cute daughter.

She had high hopes for Lin Nuo; though he was a demon, he was handsome and capable, and most importantly, he cared for Li Ruo’er. If she were to have a grandson, that would be quite nice.

Though she hadn’t witnessed Li Ruo’er grow up, seeing her grandson grow would make up for some regrets.

“Dual cultivation? You two?”

Upon hearing the term, Mu Yiting questioned.

“Yes, I’m dual cultivating with the Young Master! Hehe, it’s not just any ordinary dual cultivation, it’s the Harmony Technique-style! And it’s not just once~”

Li Ruo’er giggled, showing off her close relationship with Lin Nuo, implying they had already gotten to that level.

“Oh, so you’ve already engaged in dual cultivation? No wonder you’re so close.”

Mu Yiting continued to smile, yet inside she thought, damn, isn’t dual cultivation just a euphemism for sleeping together?

So, Lin Nuo has been with his maid multiple times, yet puts on airs with me?

So it seems your kink is choosing the younger ones, huh? A seemingly righteous Young Master on the outside but a beast behind closed doors.

Why not be a beast with me?

So frustrating, losing to a little girl.

Lin Nuo helplessly said, “Alright, Li Ruo’er, don’t say such things out loud. Ni Wanqing, as her mother, you ought to teach her about feminine virtues and the like. I trust you wouldn’t spill the beans about dual cultivation.”

Ni Wanqing: “…”

Mu Yiting was taken aback, asking, “Lin Shixiong, I didn’t expect you to be with mother and daughter…”

“Which mother and daughter? What are you talking about? Her mother and her father are dual cultivating, that’s all!”

Lin Nuo was struck dumb; could you be any more imaginative? You’re questioning whether I’m dealing with mother and daughter?

Even though he often saw comments about it in streaming chats, it wasn’t like he had awakened any such tendencies, okay?

And besides, this was the Sword Saint’s pupil, so it was fine.

“Then I apologize, I misjudged you, Lin Shixiong. I was the small-minded one, thinking so poorly of you. That I might receive your kiss is quite shocking.”

Mu Yiting still wore a smile, though inside she was filled with resentment.

So jealous.

“Younger Master, come on, come on! Let’s kiss! It’s just like saying hello, it’s perfectly normal!”

“Later, there are guests around. Li Ruo’er, you should restrain yourself a bit.”

Lin Nuo patted her head gently, his tone controlled, not reprimanding her.

This simple gesture made Mu Yiting realize how important Li Ruo’er was in Lin Nuo’s eyes; she had never been treated this way before.

Even more jealous.

At that moment, a Fox Person rushed over, anxious.

“Reporting to Lord Lin, a Qin family army has appeared nearby!”
