Chapter 1121: Sorry to Let You Laugh in My Dream

Chapter 1121: Sorry to Let You Laugh in My Dream

They couldn’t get it done in the dream, so they came to reality to stir things up. These Demon Practitioners were getting antsy.

It was an easy feat to bombard an inn; raising a hand was all it took.

But they had to be well-prepared, as they viewed Lin Nuo and Qin Shili as anything but ordinary. A regular bombing wouldn’t do the trick.

A few Demon Practitioners began chanting spells, summoning a powerful surge of Demon Qi from their palms, gathering into a ball that quickly expanded, ready to crash into the inn, unleashing destruction and despair.

Meanwhile, the servant knocking nervously at the door knew he couldn’t escape; being part of the Qin family meant sharing their fate.

At that moment, a young man, bare to the waist, leaped from the window just as the massive Demon Ball was about to hit the inn. With a sudden wave of his hand, a gigantic black vortex appeared, wide enough to swallow the falling Demon Ball.

Swallowed!

The black vortex compressed and shrank into a smaller orb.

The young man strained to push the little orb into the sky, where it sparked with lightning before finally detonating.

Boom!

The explosion was deafening, shaking the ground, sending stray cats and dogs scurrying in fear.

Despite looking somewhat cool at the moment, the young man felt the urge to throw on some clothes. He had gone to bed fully clothed, but now he was rushing out half-naked after hurrying into a pair of pants.

Perhaps it was Qin Shili’s subconscious that had undressed him.

Of course, she had just woken up and would have no clue.

“Ugh… was it too late…?”

The Demon Practitioners gritted their teeth, irritated that they had been so close, only for Lin Nuo to wake up and nullify the gathered Demon Ball.

Just a step too late.

Lin Nuo thought, if these guys had gone for a simple spell bombardment instead of this fancy Demon Ball, he might have remained asleep indefinitely.

Clearly, when the main character wasn’t around, it was tough to take him down. Some of the lesser enemies didn’t think straight and ended up making foolish moves.

After lying down for a bit, his strength had recovered somewhat, but he wasn’t back to full power. However, dealing with this group was still more than doable.

If he didn’t have to keep an eye on Qin Shili, he’d go after the Yellow Dragon and find the schemer hiding in the dream.

He suspected that the opponent had likely run off and sent these minor nuisances instead.

But it was certain that the opponent wasn’t in good shape—otherwise, they would have come personally instead of sending these low-ranking grunts.

It was also possible that those who could execute tricks in the dream were even weaker than minor lackeys in reality.

Regardless, he had to send this bunch packing first.

“What do we do now? Report back to Lord Luo?”

“Report what? If we can’t handle this much, we can’t go back at all. Don’t panic! The Lord said even if they wake up, they won’t be as strong as before.”

“But… but he was able to nullify our Demon Power…”

“You guys hold them off while we finish off the people in the inn.”

The leader of the Demon Practitioners shouted, showcasing his leadership skills, quickly organizing their forces—part of them to restrain Lin Nuo while he targeted Qin Shili.

They were well-trained, immediately starting to fire Demon Bullets at Lin Nuo, forcing him to use the black vortex again, while the rest followed the team leader to bombard the inn.

But soon, a silver-haired girl leaped out of the window with a miniature Ice Dragon perched on her shoulder. In the blink of an eye, a solid layer of ice formed, blocking the Demon Practitioners’ attacks.

“Did you just put on clothes? Aren’t you going to do your makeup?”

“No matter how good the makeup is, it’s not for your eyes, so what’s the point?”

The girl replied coldly, her eyes filled with murderous intent. However, she wasn’t foolish enough to unleash an Ice Field to freeze everyone outright.

She had jumped from the window and floated mid-air, creating a frost path beneath her feet that connected to the ground.

She sped toward the ground as Ice Spears shot from her, targeting the group of Demon Practitioners.

“Block her!”

These Demon Practitioners were also skilled in the black vortex technique. Though their vortex was small, it could absorb Qin Shili’s flying Ice Spears.

However, as they maintained the vortex, it began to freeze over, trapping them in ice and preventing them from absorbing the next wave of Ice Spears.

“This woman…”

“Quick! Don’t let her get closer!”

The Demon Practitioner captain shouted, black, purple Demon Hands erupting from their bodies, swarming toward Qin Shili, attempting to capture and drain her spirit energy.

But soon, Qin Shili expertly used her freezing arts to encase those Demon Hands in ice.

“What… she can do that?!”

“Stop your amazement! She’s coming!”

The Demon Practitioners panicked as Qin Shili advanced on them. They readied themselves, trying to release their Demon Qi to repel her.

At that moment, Lin Nuo descended from above, his sword transforming into a myriad of blades, launching downwards.

“This…! Ah!”

The Demon Practitioners wanted to block, but the onslaught of swords came from all directions, overwhelming them.

Their blood splattered onto the ground, their screams echoing through the streets.

Lin Nuo and Qin Shili were fighting separately; he had successfully struck down his enemies, while Qin Shili was equally ruthless as her Ice Sword fell, freezing the remaining Demon Practitioners in place.

It was a seamless execution.

She sheathed her sword.

“Not bad, no wonder you’re the woman that makes Demon Practitioners tremble.”

Lin Nuo applauded, impressed.

“Put your clothes on! I don’t want other women looking at your body.”

Qin Shili immediately tossed Lin Nuo’s clothes to him. He was well-trained, with an enviable physique—tall, with muscles in all the right places—characteristics that girls adored.

Qin Shili had a strong sense of possessiveness; she wouldn’t let her man casually show off his body.

She noticed some passing young girls were staring at Lin Nuo, and she even thought about freezing them.

“Do you think I didn’t want to wear them? It’s just a matter of urgency. Done.”

Lin Nuo quickly got dressed and tucked away his sword, kneeling down to search through the bodies of the defeated Demon Practitioners.

“There are some decent magic stones here; the Refining Demon Sect has too many goodies. If we go to their lair, there’ll probably be tons.”

Lin Nuo gathered some spoils, pocketing them as he glanced in the direction where he felt someone was watching him.

Okay, that gaze was gone.

They ran away.

Eh, someday, they might cross paths again.

“Things were a bit risky. We could have been blown to bits. But you woke up just in time.”

Lin Nuo turned to Qin Shili.

“Sorry to let you laugh in my dream,” Qin Shili said, somewhat apologetically.

“What’s funny about it?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Because I couldn’t remember you.”

“It’s fine; if you could remember me, I wouldn’t be needed anymore. But it’s great that you managed to come out.”
