Chapter 1222: Bring Them to the Royal Palace

“This is going all out.”

Why would that empress who once oppressed him make promises about flying away and staying together forever? If it’s not done this way, it’s a case of risking it all together and dying.

Honestly, if Luo Xiaoxue said to die together, it might just be him who ends up dead. There’s no such thing as dying together when you have that Great威天龙’s protection; it’s like a cheat code. It’s likely that Su Kexin in her explosive state would have to handle it—spear against shield, let’s see who’s tougher.

Of course, it’s possible that nobody could kill anyone else.

“Then let’s go. Calm down a bit; don’t do anything stupid. You have your youth, don’t just fall apart at the drop of a hat. Also, I don’t like it when people threaten me.”

“Ah? My bad, I was impulsive and said some angry things. If I made you uncomfortable, please don’t hold it against me.”

Luo Xiaoxue realized she’d just threatened Lin Nuo, not a very good attitude. Love that’s forced is just scraping by.

“Whatever, I’m not making a big deal out of it. Just telling you. Since that’s the case, you can hand over your work, and let’s go.”

Lin Nuo said, the emperor can quit if he wants; that’s quite rebellious of you.

What about your ideals, your dreams?

But then again, this is just another way to save the world.

Alright, he’ll go save the world himself; it’s like a fantasy tale.

“Fine, but I can’t hand over my work immediately. Give me a few days. You stay in the royal palace; I’ll take good care of you.”

“I won’t stay in the royal palace.”

“Why? Where are you planning to go? Are you looking to leave while you can? Just like last time? Leaving without a word?”

“Here you go again… I have no intention of leaving; it’s just that the person accompanying me is still outside.”

“Then let them come to the royal palace too; the food and lodging here are way better than outside. It’s not that I don’t trust you; it’s just wise to be careful. Didn’t you teach me that before?”

“Forget it…”

If I had known, I wouldn’t have taught you anything.

You remember every word I say, then use it on me? What a sin.

“Then I’ll consult them for their opinions.”

“If they oppose, then they won’t support your work. If it were me, I would support you unconditionally.”

Luo Xiaoxue said seriously, bringing up comparisons again; he noticed how much they all loved to compare.

“Then I’ll go consult them.”

“I’ll go with you, and I’ll bring them into the palace. No one will stop them then.”

“You’re going with me…”

Lin Nuo was worried about how chaotic it might be on site. Would it provoke a grand battle, and then the royal city would be gone?

That’s possible.

After all, they were all demons, and now with Ruo’er mixed in, it would become a complete mess.

Never mind, once they decided to go together, they’d have to be ready for anything.

“Is that not allowed? I’m worried you’ll go and not come back, especially after last time…”

“Alright, you can go. But you have to follow my orders. There are mostly demons among them; if you act recklessly, this royal city won’t be safe.”

“I won’t act recklessly, and I’ll treat them with respect. Unless they act up.”

Luo Xiaoxue said, after all, she made that promise; if something happens, they’ll deal with it then.

The three of them first left the secret passage, as the decision was made, waiting for Luo Xiaoxue to go get them from the inn and bring them into the royal palace.

This royal palace might just blow up.

Luo Xiaoxue took off her yellow robe, changed her look, and put on a vibrant light pink dress, shedding the usual emperor’s demeanor with a smile, reverting back to her former image as Luo Yi.

Her attire was inspired by their first meeting with Lin Nuo: simple yet dignified.

Lin Nuo waited outside Luo Xiaoxue’s room. Although she asked him to come in, given they had shared a bed and were open with each other, Lin Nuo could have watched her change and even given some valuable advice.

But Lin Nuo refused; he didn’t like watching others change clothes, nor being watched while changing himself, so he waited outside.

At that moment, Taishang Huang approached.

“Lin Nuo, I leave Xiaoxue to you. Sigh, I hope everything goes well for you both. I can’t promise I’ll be around forever; after all, I’m already a dead man. For Xiaoxue to give up the throne for you shows how much you mean to her. Honestly, I don’t want her to have anything to do with the Sacred Realm; it’s better for her to live here her whole life. The Sacred Realm, who knows what kind of place that is?”

“Actually, it would be best for you to find a place, give everything up, and live a tranquil life. The more you worry, the harder your remaining days will be. Death isn’t that big of a deal; who knows, maybe death leads to a new continent.”

Lin Nuo looked up at the sky and said casually; death, ah, I’ve been there.

Though he felt a bit envious; speaking of which, he was quite lonely when he died.

“I feel like you’ve experienced unimaginable pain.”

Taishang Huang looked at Lin Nuo’s melancholic eyes, speculating,

“You’re quite a mysterious young man. The way you can stimulate Xiaoxue’s abilities shows you hide some incredible power.”

“Come on, don’t flatter me; I don’t have any special powers. It’s all just coincidence.”

Lin Nuo wasn’t wrong; it really was a coincidence.

Inadvertently saving her, and not knowing her identity, it led to things getting out of hand.

Soon after, Luo Xiaoxue came out of the room, immediately linking arms with Lin Nuo, showing a sweet smile.

“Father, we’re heading out for a bit.”

“Mm, fine.”

Taishang Huang nodded, watching this young couple leave.

…

Liu Shuqin and the others waited in the inn, not seeing Lin Nuo return for a long time.

“Is Master being held captive?”

“With Junior Martial Brother’s skills, who could possibly hold him captive? Maybe he’s just busy with matters and running late.”

“Does the emperor have any interest in Lin Nuo? You would know this best, Liu Shuqin.”

“Yes, it’s only natural for her to fall for him given Junior Martial Brother’s charm.”

“Could it be that the young master will be monopolized by her?!”

The girls began chatting excitedly with wild guesses, getting more and more worked up, all thinking of rushing to the royal palace to rescue Lin Nuo.

However, just as their passions flared, Lin Nuo returned.

And he brought a girl back with him.

“Everyone, you need to head to the royal palace next. You’ll be accommodated there; once Luo Xiaoxue sorts things out, we can set off.”

Lin Nuo said seriously, like a tour guide, waiting for everyone to gather before they set out.

“Who is she?”

Ling Meng asked, confused since she hadn’t really met Luo Xiaoxue before.

“That’s Luo Xiaoxue.”

“Oh, so she’s that emperor. As an emperor, why are you holding onto Master’s arm? Shouldn’t you be escorted by a whole battalion of guards? Being the Son of Heaven, you should have a sense of shame. What would the common folk think if they saw you?”

Ling Meng wouldn’t back down, seeing her holding Lin Nuo’s arm; she charged in with a barrage of criticisms.
