Chapter 1189: Has Young Master Thought of Me?

Chapter 1189: Has Young Master Thought of Me?

They seemed to have spotted their savior; Lin Nuo’s arrival was undoubtedly the key to turning the tide.

Countless Demon Swords fell from the sky, grand and magnificent. Though they were dark blades, they now shone with brilliant light, illuminating the entire land.

The demons on the ground panicked, as if facing a formidable enemy, abruptly halting their charge.

Countless cries of agony echoed across the battlefield, as robust and fierce demons and demon beasts were struck down by Lin Nuo’s Demon Sword, leaving a river of blood in their wake.

“Let’s go.”

The Sword Saint considered this a successful retreat. Once Lin Nuo arrived, he swiftly led his wife and daughter back.

The stationed demon army also began to withdraw, clearing the battlefield for Lin Nuo’s personal show.

After all, they didn’t fancy having a Demon Sword drop on their heads; that would be instant death!

“Dad, Mom, we’re going to find Young Master now!”

“Don’t disturb him right now.”

The Sword Saint warned Ruo’er. It was Lin Nuo’s critical moment of using spiritual energy; if she rushed over, it would surely disrupt him, and heaven forbid, hit their allies.

With Lin Nuo’s overpowering force, he consumed a large amount of Demon Soul Power, finally annihilating or repelling the massing demon army.

Of course, after such exertion, he felt a bit fatigued.

Phew…

Lin Nuo let out a long breath, retracting his Demon Sword, and the multitude of swords embedded in the earth gradually vanished.

Speaking of Ruo’er, where is she? Don’t tell me she was crushed by the falling Demon Swords?

Oh, there she is.

“Young Master! Young Master! I’m here! Can I come over?!”

Not too far away, Ruo’er waved and shouted to Lin Nuo, her excited little girl voice as heartwarming as ever.

“You don’t need to come over.”

Lin Nuo waved his hand, indicating for her to stay back because he was headed her way.

Suddenly unleashing a wide-reaching explosive Demon Sword technique was quite taxing; after it was done, he couldn’t walk straight.

Nonetheless, no matter how off-balance he felt, he had to walk properly.

Shortly after, Lin Nuo approached Ruo’er. Though he gestured for her not to come over, seeing him near made Ruo’er lose control of her excitement and she dashed forward to hug him.

This little girl had some strength! When she lunged at Lin Nuo, the fatigued Lin Nuo wobbled and fell to the ground.

“Ah? Young Master, are you okay?! What happened?!”

Ruo’er was very sensitive to Lin Nuo’s condition; usually, when she threw herself at him, he would hold her steadily, but now he was on the floor.

He must be unwell.

“I’m fine.” Lin Nuo replied nonchalantly.

“Um… let me help you recover!”

“No need; you’ve used quite a lot of energy in this battle. It’s unnecessary. As long as you’re fine, it’s my fault for leaving you behind.”

Lin Nuo apologized to Ruo’er, which was rare; he hardly ever apologized, even when he was wrong. But with her, he was sincerely regretful.

“It’s okay! Young Master has important matters; you don’t always have to look after me. It’s my fault for wandering around and making you worry. So, let’s go back!”

“Hmm, back.”

Lin Nuo nodded and tried to stand up, but that fall made it difficult.

It seemed he had overexerted himself, but with so many vicious demon beasts, exertion was a must; otherwise, how could he resist?

“Young Master, you’re not well… I want to help you recover.”

Ruo’er ignored everything else and began manipulating her spiritual energy to apply a recovery spell on Lin Nuo, but her spiritual power was limited and didn’t yield much effect.

“Hmm… hmm… it’s not working… ah, I’m so useless! I can’t help Young Master!”

“Step aside; let me handle it.”

At this moment, Ling Meng walked over and shouted at Ruo’er.

“Ah? What are you doing here?!”

“Can’t I come over? Hurry up and move; I need to help Master recover.”

“Can you? Young Master isn’t well; don’t mess things up!”

Ruo’er was reluctant to leave Lin Nuo’s side and didn’t want to let him fall into Ling Meng’s hands.

“He is my beloved Master! How could I mess it up? I love him more than you do! Move aside, or you’ll suffer consequences I can’t explain to you!”

Ling Meng ignored Ruo’er and started focusing her spiritual energies to restore Lin Nuo’s Demon Soul Power.

“Please step back.”

Lin Nuo gently patted Ruo’er’s head, signaling her to pull away.

“Okay, Young Master; I’ll listen to you.”

Ruo’er shook her big ears and immediately stepped back for Ling Meng to help Lin Nuo.

Restoring demon with demon was naturally more effective than restoring demon with immortal energy. Although it wouldn’t fully restore him, after a round of Ling Meng’s techniques, Lin Nuo could finally stand again.

Not bad.

Lin Nuo stood up. That fall had been quite embarrassing; a high and mighty Demon Ruler, and yet he fell.

If word got out, it would surely make the dog in the neighboring village laugh itself to death.

“Master! Are you alright~!”

Ling Meng’s tone shifted; she had been icy and aloof, now transforming into an affectionate little girl, snuggling against Lin Nuo.

She was getting pretty good at this mood-swapping thing.

“Ah! Step aside! Young Master was going to hug me first!”

Ruo’er was indignant. This Demon Woman was too cunning, taking advantage of the moment. How could she monopolize Young Master? He belonged to her!

“But Master was helped by me, and this is just a normal way of greeting us.”

Ling Meng insisted, wrapping her arms around Lin Nuo and giving Ruo’er a taste of her own medicine.

“Get away! Move aside! Young Master won’t hug you; you’re so shameless!”

Ruo’er was about ready to throw down with Ling Meng, but she was swiftly halted by Lin Nuo.

Such a headache! A single disagreement could lead to chaos. Who knows how to keep them harmonious moving forward?

“All right, all right. Ling Meng, step back a bit. I have something to discuss with Ruo’er.”

“Is there anything I can’t hear?”

“Just step back. I’ll find you alone later, okay?”

“Alone? Young Master, you can’t deceive my pure heart!”

Ling Meng eventually relented; after all, if she kept arguing, she might end up making Lin Nuo dislike her.

Mu Yiting didn’t feel too good about this either; honestly, she wished she could just whisk Lin Nuo away, disregarding everyone else.

But looking at it now, it seemed Lin Nuo really valued Ruo’er.

Looks like she was already at a disadvantage.

“Young Master! Young Master! I missed you so much! I think of you every moment!”

Ruo’er kept rubbing against Lin Nuo. Even after the battle, the white fur of the white fox remained pristine and soft, a pleasure to touch.

“Young Master! Did you think of me?”

Ruo’er wiggled her big ears and tail, looking at Lin Nuo with bright, hopeful eyes.

“I did.”

Lin Nuo patted her head, revealing a hint of a doting smile.
