Chapter 1060: You Are Also Irreplaceable

Chapter 1060: You Are Also Irreplaceable

Seeing that Qin Shili wasn’t just a repeating machine, capable of eloquence and complaints, then the problem was trivial.

As long as the person was still alive and hadn’t passed away, she could complain to her heart’s content.

Women, though troublesome at times, were not impossible to deal with.

However, he wouldn’t directly flatter her; a bit of dual cultivation afterward would suffice.

Of course, one round wouldn’t be enough; given her wolf-like nature, he had to be prepared for some tug-of-war.

“Sometimes I envy your maid; she holds an irreplaceable position in your heart.”

“You are also irreplaceable,” Lin Nuo replied.

“Really? That doesn’t sound like something you would say. Are you just brushing me off?”

“Not at all, I’m just speaking the truth. What, do you doubt it?”

“No, how could I doubt you? So where is that beloved maid of yours? Are you really at ease leaving her behind to find me?”

“Somewhere in a mountain, I don’t regret it.”

Lin Nuo stated seriously, though if he were to list things he regretted, it would be countless.

For example, he might regret spending a bit extra to buy Meat Floss Cake just to show off, or bragging to some old-timers that he knew everything, only to end up with counterfeit goods and have them laugh at him.

Of course, those were minor issues; in important matters, Lin Nuo had exceptional judgment, but he often acted like a fool in trivial matters.

That’s the result of misallocated skill points; intelligence conservation law—wise in major matters, foolish in minor ones.

Qin Shili still wanted to believe Lin Nuo’s words. Though she aimed for self-improvement, she inevitably relied on him subconsciously.

“So, is Ruo’er turning into a demon now?”

“Not yet.”

“Don’t you want her to become one?”

“Not necessarily; it might be a problem with her constitution. She’s just not ready yet, but it’s only a matter of time.”

“I see. I’m currently half-demon, half-path. Can you let me fully embrace the demon side?”

Qin Shili pleaded, thinking that only by fully embracing the demon could she completely follow Lin Nuo.

Those like Liu Shuqin and Ling Meng were all in the demon path; they had the qualifications to remain by Lin Nuo’s side.

Even Ruo’er, still an immortal, would have no place if she later turned demon.

“Take it slow, don’t rush. You have deep roots in Xuanyun Sect; it’s not easy to completely change that. Besides, your nature suits coexistence with both demon and path. You can unlock more potential that way. I actually think it’s quite good now.”

“Not good. Why can they fully embrace the demon side and I can’t? Are you treating us differently?”

“Them?”

Upon hearing that, Lin Nuo knew who Qin Shili was hinting at.

Liu Shuqin was already a demon now, and she had always loved to compete with Liu Shuqin.

Liu Shuqin was different; she had bathed in the Magic Spring, which had already been processed by some immortal path.

And then there was the soon-to-be demon, Ruo’er.

This woman always compared herself to others, which was quite typical.

“Because you’re special, thus you’ll be treated differently. This is something you can’t deny. Do you like to go with the flow? That doesn’t showcase the charm you should possess.”

Lin Nuo continued earnestly, not even blinking, which made Qin Shili look at him differently.

This man certainly knew how to talk.

Qin Shili had heard such words countless times before and knew there was a measure of hypocrisy in them.

If it were someone else, she wouldn’t even spare a glance.

But this was Lin Nuo; no matter how hypocritical, she loved to hear it. A girl still longed to hear sweet words from her crush!

“Is that so? How many girls have you said that to?”

“I’m just speaking the truth; if you don’t like it, I won’t say it anymore.”

“No, I do enjoy your words; feel free to say more. However, I genuinely want to fully embrace the demon. You are the demon path’s supreme; how could I just be a half-done demon?” Qin Shili continued.

In the past, everyone scoffed at the demon path; now they lined up to become demons.

If Su Kexin wanted to become a demon, the world line could end there.

But if that really happened, whoever wanted her to become one would be the first to face disaster.

“I can understand your thoughts. However, I still suggest you listen to me; this is the path suited for you,” Lin Nuo said.

“Alright, I’ll follow your lead. So where do you plan to take me next? To spend time with your maid?”

“If that’s the plan, would you go?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Okay, I understand your thoughts now.”

Lin Nuo nodded and continued,

“That’s also the reason I want you to be half-demon. Because you’re half-demon, with my teachings on concealing demon qi, you can effectively hide your demonic nature. You dislike mingling with those demons, so you’ll seek safety among the people, which will be safer for you.”

“You don’t want me to follow you? Oh, I get it; following you means cohabiting with your maid. You really care about her. We are both from noble families, and maids are just tools to be summoned at will, but I have never seen a master value their maid like you do.”

“She is not like others.”

“What makes her so special? Blood brothers for life?”

“Something like that.”

Lin Nuo nodded; his feelings for Ruo’er stemmed from past life experiences.

“What have you two gone through?” Qin Shili pressed on.

“Nothing much, just some private matters you don’t need to pry too deep into.”

“Mm.”

She still had no idea what Lin Nuo had experienced, a story hidden in his heart.

Yet, she vaguely felt that Liu Shuqin might know something, as the two sometimes shared hard-to-understand words.

Perhaps it was not he who actively revealed it to Liu Shuqin.

Then how did Liu Shuqin find out?

She was curious, feeling like she was excluded, a nearly insurmountable chasm between her and Lin Nuo.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by; a piece of paper drifted toward Lin Nuo. Curiously, he caught it and held it in his hand.

“Whose advertisement is this? Hm?”

Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t an advertisement; it was a missing person’s notice, offering a hefty reward—enough to rival several cities, the number of zeros behind the 1 was unfathomable.

Who was the target of this substantial reward?

It was him, Lin Nuo!

The same paper, the same seal, the same style made him recall some unpleasant past memories.

Those days of being hunted down everywhere! Utterly miserable!

“What do you see? Your expression is so serious?”

Qin Shili was curious, but soon another piece of paper floated down beside her. She picked it up and looked.

“I see, you must be favored by this empress.”

“Don’t say that, it’s giving me a headache.”

Lin Nuo rubbed his forehead, memories that should have been buried began to attack him.

That time when he mistakenly thought he had killed the Empress, only to realize he messed up and even helped her ascend the throne; that was the most embarrassing!

Now she was issuing a bounty for him!

The key was, he had no way to deal with the Great威天龙 technique at all.
