Chapter 1289: I Don’t Think She’s Trying to Harm Me

The three of them still had no idea what Xiao Ling’s words meant.

What do you mean I’m taking the Divine Sacred Beast of Tian Du Kingdom to annihilate the Handa Alliance? It feels like you’re saying I’m bringing your will to my own death.

What righteous heroism.

Of course, the three were skeptical about that energy circle.

After all, who would believe that thing leads to the boundary of the three realms?

It might just send you to the afterlife!

The two young ladies, at their wits’ end, inevitably turned their eyes to Lin Nuo.

Everything depended on their husband’s arrangement.

“Now you have a chance to suggest if we should enter or not.”

Lin Nuo pointed at the energy circle, tossing the question at Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue.

“Since that girl is so wishy-washy, it’s hard for us to believe what she says. So, I think it’s better if we don’t go in, right, Senior Martial Brother?”

Even Su Kexin could tell at a glance; the final decision was obvious.

However, Luo Xiaoxue fell silent, her countenance tense, as if she had some reservations.

Is she frightened silly by that woman? Or has her soul been siphoned away, leaving just a shell?

Lin Nuo waved his hand in front of Luo Xiaoxue’s eyes: “Are you okay?”

“Ah? I…”

Luo Xiaoxue suddenly came to her senses, realizing she was acting out of sorts, and repeatedly apologized.

“Sorry, Lin the Knight, I didn’t mean to ignore you.”

“Enough with the explanations. What’s on your mind? You’re so spaced out you thought your very soul was taken by that woman. Wait, let’s confirm first. Are you really Luo Xiaoxue? How old are you? When’s your birthday? What are your measurements?”

“Ah? Uh…”

“Can’t elaborate? Then you’re not Luo Xiaoxue. If you’re a monster, our Su Kexin would probably slice you in half with one strike.”

“No, no, it’s not that I can’t say. I… I can only tell you privately.”

Luo Xiaoxue leaned closer to Lin Nuo’s ear, whispering her secret. This private matter could only be shared with Lin Nuo; Su Kexin shouldn’t eavesdrop.

After hearing her words, Lin Nuo confirmed it was indeed her.

Sure, he knew a little about Luo Xiaoxue’s private matters; he’d measured her dimensions himself, after all.

Su Kexin, however, felt uncomfortable. The two of them were whispering to each other, leaving her feeling like an outsider.

“Senior Martial Brother! Are you done? I have secrets to tell you too!”

Frustrated, Su Kexin wanted to join in on the fun, ready to divulge every private secret to Lin Nuo. It’s all family, after all; what’s there to hide?

“Alright, stop causing a ruckus; I’m just confirming her identity. Now, why were you spaced out?”

Lin Nuo turned to Luo Xiaoxue, who adjusted her mood and replied:

“I feel like that person seems a bit familiar.”

“Alright, seems familiar—just your intuition. Even if she really is your biological mother, so what? She’s already admitted to deceiving you. Quell your mercy and treat her like a passerby. I’m not sure what she’s done to your body, but only you know. If she sealed your abilities, that would be a disaster.”

Lin Nuo stated, suggesting that Luo Xiaoxue try out the Great威天龙 Gold Shield, which thankfully still worked.

So, what had that woman done to her?

Had she cast a curse, poisoned her slowly, or perhaps driven her into a frenzy like those demons?

Lin Nuo tried his best to scan Luo Xiaoxue’s body, finding no issues. It was her own powers that resisted his spells.

“For now, I can’t tell what you’ve lost or what’s changed. But I take responsibility; I admit I made you gamble, and the results were wrong, causing you suffering.”

In the past, Lin Nuo had a hard time admitting faults; he thought of himself as the most important person, but now he was reflecting before Luo Xiaoxue.

He indeed believed that Luo Xiaoxue was blessed by heaven. Anyone who tried to harm her would be met with a Great威天龙 slap, but if that woman was telling the truth, it would be a win-win situation.

Well, now the Great威天龙 was absent, and something had been taken instead.

Cunning.

“Not at all, Lin the Knight. I feel fine. Moreover, I have a sense that she doesn’t really want to harm me; in fact, she seems to want to help us.”

“Alright, maybe she’s implanted some sort of saintly thought in you. You’ve never seen her, yet you trust her so much. I hope you can wake up a bit. Nobody knows what she’s plotting. That energy circle could also be a trap.”

Lin Nuo continued, pondering if this was a trap, that woman could easily claim to have an energy circle that could take them back to the human realm.

But saying it like that makes it sound too fake.

In short, Lin Nuo would never enter that energy circle, and Su Kexin would follow him unconditionally. Luo Xiaoxue wouldn’t enter either.

But her thoughts were different; while they feared deception, she believed stepping onto that energy circle might lead to a way out, yet she didn’t want to leave because that woman was in trouble.

Yes, she was in trouble and might face ruin.

“Are you still thinking about that woman? Is there something confusing you? Just say it; don’t hold it in, or it could lead to issues we can’t rescue you from.”

“Lin the Knight, I think you might find me really insane.”

“You being insane isn’t a one-day thing; nothing to be shocked about. So, you do have some thoughts, right?”

Lin Nuo had to pry further with Luo Xiaoxue; he worried she might actually be losing her mind.

“Um…”

Luo Xiaoxue hesitated, thinking that Lin Nuo would soon be family, and there was no need to hide anything.

“Lin the Knight, I think, just as she said, she’s going to borrow the power of the Sacred Beast to fight against the Handa Alliance. Most of what she says is true. I have a Sacred Beast, and she has one too. She wants to borrow mine and fight against the Handa Alliance. But I feel like she’s in grave danger…”

“Even if it’s true, that’s their problem; you don’t need to worry about it. Just take care of yourself. Even if she completely perishes, it’s her own business. You’re no longer the princess of Tian Du Kingdom; you don’t have an obligation to help this country regain its strength. Of course, if you genuinely wish to return to the Sacred Realm to settle down, then I’ll pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“No, I never planned to return to the Sacred Realm. However, if Lin the Knight wants to go, I’ll follow you unconditionally.”

“I’m not going; I don’t want to stay another moment in this damn place; it’s more comfortable in the Demon Realm. So, what are you worried about? If you take your Sacred Beast, that’s a good thing. The Handa Alliance won’t easily find you.”

Lin Nuo said, gently placing his right hand on Luo Xiaoxue’s head.

“I understand you want to save her, but you must accept that sometimes being ordinary is okay. You can’t protect everything; if you can’t, then you simply can’t.”
