Chapter 1193: You Think I’m Just a Tool, Don’t You?

Chapter 1193: You Think I’m Just a Tool, Don’t You?

Women’s intuition is magical, especially when it comes to catching someone in the act; it becomes hyper-sensitive.

Right now, Ling Meng can’t shake this feeling that Lin Nuo and Mu Yiting are up to some unnameable mischief locked away together.

She’s trying to employ her Demon Power to catch a glimpse of the sounds inside, but no luck—this room is soundproof to perfection, leaving her exploration utterly lonely.

It’s been ages, and they still haven’t come out.

It’s so frustrating!

At this moment, Lin Nuo inside has sensed the unusual presence outside. After all, he’s had enough experience in such matters—this must be the aura of the Demon Woman.

Looks like Ling Meng has come over.

Oh right, I gave her that bracelet earlier to keep in touch, but when it didn’t work, I thought it was broken. Could it be working now?

Well, if they’re still in the middle of things, it might be a bit troublesome.

Alright, time to go.

“There’s no time to waste; we should be on our way.”

Lin Nuo slipped out from beside Mu Yiting, wrapping things up.

He doesn’t seem to feel any guilt; after all, he’s a major Villain. He thinks only of himself and does whatever he wants.

End it when it needs ending, resolve any issues, and then deal with it next time.

“I haven’t had enough fun yet.”

Mu Yiting started complaining, “What about your fun? I’m not done having fun yet!”

“No time for delays—if we don’t finish this, there’ll always be a next time.”

As Lin Nuo spoke, he hurriedly got dressed. Mu Yiting could see his rush; he clearly wanted to get out of this room quickly.

Oh? Here comes that pesky woman.

What are those subordinate clans doing? Can’t keep even her from barging in.

It’s easy to see why Tianqi Kingdom is in such deep trouble with abilities like theirs.

“Stop right there! When’s the next time? You’re not getting away!”

Mu Yiting was anxious; this was a rare chance—how could she let him walk? He still needed her to get him back!

“The next time can be soon, maybe tomorrow, or even this afternoon.”

Lin Nuo began spinning a tale, distracting her before he could slip away.

“Quit your sweet talk. Lin Nuo, do you want to go back? If you don’t, then you might as well stay here with me for eternity. I don’t care where I am as long as I’m with you.”

“Let’s not be rash; we agreed on this. Are you trying to entice me over here and then force me to stay? If you try that, you’ll just become my enemy. I don’t like being threatened by anyone. But I trust you’re not like that. You’re someone who knows how to discern right from wrong.”

Lin Nuo said seriously, knowing too much compromise could make her think she has no authority, and then she might freely threaten him later.

And that, simply put, wouldn’t do.

“I know how to tell right from wrong! Being with you is what matters most. If you go, what else is important, right, big brother?”

“I’m only saying I’m leaving here. Not leaving you. So how’s this? Do you insist on this? How long do you want me to stay with you? Can’t I come back after? I also understand that a lady can be a bit willful at times. But you’re a leader; let’s stop joking around.”

“Heh. Joking, huh? You think I’m just some tool for you, don’t you? You want me here just so more people can get out. I’m soft-hearted; your sweet words made me soft-hearted. Your apprentice is outside, and you’re worried about her coming in. Let’s be real, you’ve done this kind of thing with her countless times, right? I barely pulled you over here; I don’t want her to meddle. I dislike that girl.”

“Fine. Wait a minute, I’ll give you a response.”

Lin Nuo could hear the emotion in her voice; the situation was indeed a little emotional.

He aimed to be fair, to keep things balanced, of course, as much as possible.

Lin Nuo got dressed, opened the door without a shred of panic, and found Ling Meng standing there.

Right behind her, the Demon came rushing over; this could escalate. He had advised them to keep watch, but then Ling Meng dashed in.

“Master, what were you two talking about? Closed door, soundproofed?”

“Ling Meng, are you here to question me?”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“If not, why did you come in?” Lin Nuo demanded sternly, his presence intimidating enough to make Ling Meng tremble.

“I—I was just worried that woman might be a threat to you…”

Ling Meng lost her earlier bravado the moment she felt Lin Nuo’s displeasure.

“You’ve defied my orders a number of times already. I’ve been too lenient. You’ve experienced the Refining Demon Sect—it’s strict for a reason. Defying your master’s orders could get you expelled.”

“Master, please don’t expel me! I—I was wrong…”

Ling Meng’s voice dropped, losing its earlier confidence. She had acted on impulse and faced Lin Nuo’s reprimand, so now she lowered her head obediently.

“I have my reasons for being with her, and this is my decision. No need to report to you. I expect you to wait patiently; you clearly don’t respect the rules.”

“Master, I know I was wrong—I’ll accept your punishment. Right here, right now—I’m willing to face it!”

Saying this, reinforcements of enthusiasm sparkled in her eyes. She’s a little strange—she doesn’t really see Lin Nuo’s punishments as such; she might even see them as an honor!

She just fears being ignored by Lin Nuo—this ice-cold treatment isn’t easy to bear.

Despite Ling Meng’s odd personality, Lin Nuo had never truly punished her; ignoring her was often the best punishment.

“Go back—right now! You’ll hear your punishment later. Quickly, go back. Don’t waste each other’s time.”

“I… alright…”

With a sulky expression, Ling Meng left, even though Lin Nuo didn’t want to push her buttons. After all, blowing up wasn’t going to help anyone here.

He still had to maintain some authority; looking like he was engaging in an affair—now, that wouldn’t be appropriate.

Then Lin Nuo turned back and re-entered the room.

“I sent her on her way,” Lin Nuo remarked.

“Do I need to get up now?” Mu Yiting asked.

“I can still hang around a bit longer. But really, we can’t afford to waste any more time; who knows when those guys from the Demon Realm will strike again?”

Lin Nuo returned to the bed, embracing Mu Yiting again.

Of course, the enthusiasm from before had clearly dimmed.

Mu Yiting noticed it too.

“Forget it; let’s just stick to your original plan.”

After exchanging a few kisses, Mu Yiting took the initiative to end it, walking over to the bronze mirror to fix her hair.

“I hope that when we go back, we’ll have the whole night together. Not like this hurried business, looking like we’re sneaking around. I don’t like that.”

“There will definitely be time. We’ll have plenty of it when we get back.”

Lin Nuo assured her, “Wouldn’t this have been better if we had done it this way from the start? Why throw a tantrum?”

With that, they concluded their time together and began preparing to head back.
