Chapter 1221: Just Follow You

Chapter 1221: Just Follow You

“Maybe…”

You also only understand half of it. The truth will eventually come to light; he has to face it whether he wants to or not. The truth will chase after him, there’s no escaping it.

Like that incident with Mu Yiting—it was just a good dream, and then she met her. It’s truly magical. There’s a design in the dark, and he will undoubtedly have to face these truths.

“Alright, if your vision is real, then she is from the Sacred Realm. I’ve heard about the Sacred Realm; it’s supposed to restrain demons. So she naturally possesses the ability to counter demons. You, being a dead person, ended up with Sacred Energy keeping your body intact, gaining similar abilities to her. While that’s a pretty cool power, getting caught up in this conflict spells trouble for you,” Lin Nuo said, recalling the names he had seen in his dream: Luo Xiaoxue and Su Kexin. Luo Xiaoxue’s case had already been verified, so now it was Su Kexin’s turn.

What exactly is she reincarnating from? Could she be a Saint Seiya? With a full halo right off the bat?

It’s possible.

If that’s the case, then Ling Meng might also be related to the Demon Realm.

What a messy relationship! Are you Sacred Realm and Demon Realm folks just grabbing people from the human realm to possess them?

Are there still advanced youths who haven’t crossed over from the twenty-first century? I need to find a fellow countryman!

“It’s like opening a blind box right now; no one knows her original identity. If she turns out to be a princess, then once she regains her memory and bloodline calls her, wanting to eliminate all demons in this world, that wouldn’t be a good thing.”

“Eliminating all demons? What’s wrong with that? Demons harm the people and cause immeasurable losses to our country,” the Taishang Huang suddenly said with righteous indignation.

“I’m also a demon, thank you very much,” Lin Nuo replied nonchalantly, making the Taishang Huang somewhat embarrassed.

Oh right, he’s also a demon! If all demons are wiped out, wouldn’t that mean he gets wiped out too?

The puny Hu Han country has revived thanks to him; we can’t be ungrateful.

“Honestly, with your credentials, why choose to become a demon? You were famously a great knight before becoming a demon.”

“Don’t say that; that’s what you think.”

Lin Nuo quickly interrupted the Taishang Huang. What great knight? Do you think I wanted to be one?

I’m just cut out for being the villain! Though I don’t look like a villain anymore, I’ve had my glorious moments. Turning into a righteous hero suddenly? No way!

“Actually, nothing is absolute. There are good demons too, like Master Lin here. Wanting to wipe out all demons is too absolute. Plus, even if I regain my memory, I wouldn’t do that.”

Luo Xiaoxue stated her position, and Lin Nuo just listened. You’re saying it so easily now. You’ve set a flag everywhere; when the time comes and you regain your memory, you might want me as the first sacrifice.

Maybe fate is leading me to a bad end with the Empress.

“It’s best if you don’t regain it. Let’s be honest, you’ve lived in the mortal realm for over ten years. Suddenly gaining memories of a so-called homeland, even carrying a mission to revive your family, is quite laughable. But I believe you won’t regain it if the Sacred Realm crack is sealed soon enough—you have that capability.”

“But I still need to manage this country… So what do you think, Master Lin? Should I give up my reign?”

“Suit yourself. If you want to manage, then manage. If not, pass the position to someone else.”

“Which one do you lean towards? Honestly, I took the throne partially due to your influence,” Luo Xiaoxue said.

“Due to my influence?”

Lin Nuo listened in disbelief. No way, that’s got nothing to do with me! You had already become the Empress while I was running for my life. You think you’d become Empress for someone who fell into the Magic Spring out of necessity? Did we even know each other back then?

“Even if not, you would still become Emperor; that’s destiny.”

“No, without you, Dong Wei would still be over our heads. Even if I wanted to, it wouldn’t be possible.”

“Without me, Dong Wei’s power would also collapse, and then you would become Emperor. That’s destiny.”

“No, without you, it’s impossible.”

“It could be possible without me.”

“Not happening.”

Luo Xiaoxue wouldn’t believe in these “what ifs.” How could she possibly become Empress without Lin Nuo?

Honestly, Lin Nuo was thinking, if Luo Xiaoxue saw herself become the Empress in another timeline and came to chase him down, how would she feel?

Su Kexin broke down for a moment, but this silly girl quickly cheered up again. You’re the Empress—you must have a lot on your mind, can’t you lose sleep over it?

“Which way do you lean toward? Give me a clear answer, and I’ll decide. I can step down from the throne and go out with you; it doesn’t matter whether I become Emperor or not.”

Luo Xiaoxue was firm. As long as she could follow you, whether she becomes Emperor is irrelevant.

“Honestly, you still can’t bear to abdicate, can you?”

Lin Nuo saw through Luo Xiaoxue’s thoughts. This was her dream; how could she let it go so easily?

“An Emperor can still go incognito. You can hand over your responsibilities, then go out. No need to the extent of abdication.”

Lin Nuo said. What’s the big deal? You’re the Empress; can’t you take a leave to go out? Do you really have to quit?

With all those useless people left in the Luo family, who could manage better than you?

After all, it’s my foundations that you built upon—how could you just quit and hand it over to someone else? What a joke!

“Alright, I can do that. Yes, I can go incognito to follow you outside. Okay, I’ll do this. Anyway, this is about the people; it’s totally reasonable that I go out.”

With Lin Nuo’s approval, Luo Xiaoxue finally felt at ease. Good, this will work!

Now she could travel the world with Master Lin.

“Don’t you find it uncomfortable staying here? It’s so dark, and there’s not enough oxygen.”

Lin Nuo complained, having finished the movie. Let’s get out of here; it’s pitch black!

“Then Master Lin, wait for me outside. I’ll tie up some loose ends at work and then come with you. Just the two of us, alright?”

“Well…”

Lin Nuo hesitated. The other girls thought the same thing, but alas, that wasn’t possible.

“And there will be other companions, and quite a few.”

“Girls?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, then I know who they are—it’s your martial sisters, your Second Martial Sister.”

“They aren’t here.”

“Oh, that’s good.”

Last time Luo Xiaoxue had a spat with Su Kexin and Qin Shili. Those two are absent? That’s just great!

“Is Liu Shuqin here?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

Liu Shuqin had always been respected by her, and now that she’s Empress, she respects her even more. She has authority and isn’t afraid.

“Fine, then how about I find the Sacred Realm crack and take you away?”

“Why’s that? Can’t we leave now? Can’t we go together? You want to just leave me behind?!”

Luo Xiaoxue panicked, quickly grabbing Lin Nuo’s arm. Are you joking? You came and didn’t take me with you? You can’t just leave!

“You can stay or come with me. I don’t want to be enemies with demons either, but you always let me down, and I can’t imagine what will happen if I break.”

Once those words were out, Lin Nuo felt a chill run down his back.
