Chapter 176: Intense Movement

Chapter 176: Intense Movement

Ling Meng’s unorthodox attack caught Lin Nuo, a third-tier expert, off guard as he struggled to resist, but the difference in their strengths left him no choice but to be subdued.

In public, this female disciple behaved quite quietly; after all, she was the leader of a small faction within the Refining Demon Sect, so she had some self-awareness. Faced with many righteous martial artists, she somewhat restrained herself.

Moreover, she didn’t want to converse with those righteous types, so she had to play the quiet card.

However, holding back for too long meant she needed an outlet, and when alone with Lin Nuo, her true nature would come to light.

Fearing that Ling Meng’s relentless energy might cause a stir, Lin Nuo reluctantly compromised.

Of course, he had no way to resist; with no mystical artifacts emitting Demon Qi and Demon Soul Power available like last time, and with impending battles to face, he felt paralyzing her with hidden weapons wouldn’t do. He had no choice but to go along with her whims.

As Lin Nuo was pulled onto the bed, Ling Meng deftly lifted the blanket to cover him.

“Master, why aren’t you resisting?”

“I worry that using my strength will stir things up. Ling Meng, there should be a limit to playfulness. For your good behavior coming to the City Lord’s Mansion, I’ll indulge you just this once.”

“Hehe, you’re the best, Master! By the way, what urgent matter is happening?”

Ling Meng snuggled under the same blanket with Lin Nuo, taking the opportunity to nuzzle against him.

Lin Nuo decided to endure for now, waiting for her to let her guard down before he made his escape.

Seriously, might as well put on my serious face: “A fierce beast is attacking, we need to mobilize.”

“Ah? So soon? We just got here!”

“The sooner, the better! We didn’t come here to waste time. Uh, could you stop touching around?”

“Master, you’re so strong! Clearly, all your hard training paid off. As your disciple, I must learn more about you!”

Just as she finished, Ling Meng lunged into Lin Nuo’s embrace. For some reason, he had a mysterious allure that drew her in, and even though she was already nestled in his arms, she still craved a closer proximity.

Though they were practically glued together, she felt they could get even closer.

Lin Nuo felt uneasy; this female disciple was getting too familiar, constantly rubbing against him.

In a normal scenario, it should be the other way around—him nuzzling against her, enjoying the softness instead.

“I’m curious, what have you discovered?”

“Hmm… for now, I only know you’re strong, but I think there’s a lot more unexplored territory waiting for me, so I need to work harder to learn more.”

“Alright, enough of that! Stop trying to slack off.”

Lin Nuo thought if she didn’t get up soon, he might have to knock her out and carry her out instead, but just then, someone hurriedly barged in from outside.

“Wu girl! The City Lord has ordered us to depart! Are you ready?”

A girl in white carrying a silver Phoenix Sword burst in, noticing that Ling Meng’s room hadn’t been closed.

Her gaze shifted to the inside and she spotted Wu Ying Ge and Wu Dong sharing the same blanket.

“Ah! Sorry! I didn’t mean to interrupt you two!”

Su Kexin’s face turned crimson as she quickly turned away; the sight of these two disciples enjoying their private moment made her feel like a clown.

But seriously, these two were too bold, right? At least they could close the door—this was just too open!

Could it be their customs?

Still, it was undeniably inappropriate, especially in the City Lord’s Mansion; such actions should definitely be condemned.

And there were others in the mansion who were still single—this sort of behavior was quite damaging!

Hmph, Wu Ying Ge simply resembled her senior martial brother; he would never engage in such indecent activities.

“Wait, what?”

Lin Nuo suddenly remembered he had come in to wake Ling Meng but had left the door open and, after being dragged in, completely forgot!

Oh no, wouldn’t the entire mansion come flooding in for a live broadcast soon?

Alarmed, Lin Nuo sprang up, causing Ling Meng, unprepared, to be jolted from one end of the bed to the other.

“Ah, that hurts…”

Her head bumped against the wooden bed, and she felt a bit of pain,

“Master, be gentler!”

Lin Nuo: “…”

Hearing such suggestive words made Su Kexin instantly think they must have been engaging in some intense activity just moments before.

Her face flushed red as she suddenly imagined herself doing the same with her own senior martial brother someday.

“Kexin! There you are! Is Wu girl in there? Have you found Wu boy yet?”

At that moment, Liu Shuqin, brandishing her sword, arrived and noticed Su Kexin blushing fiercely as she faced away from the room.

“Kexin, what’s wrong? Your face is so red; are you unwell?”

“Um… Master Sister, I saw Wu boy and Wu girl inside, and they were both in bed together…”

“Ah?!”

Liu Shuqin was alarmed and hurried over to Su Kexin’s side, then turned to look into the room.

Just in time, Lin Nuo had leapt from the bed, but because Ling Meng had grabbed at his clothing, he hadn’t had the chance to tidy himself up—his attire now a mess.

“This… Wu boy, you…”

“It’s nothing; just a misunderstanding.”

Lin Nuo remained unfazed, calmly responding,

“We’re ready, we can set out now. You two should wait for us in the hall.”

“Wu boy, we came specifically to find you because we’ve been waiting for a long time…”

Liu Shuqin’s voice trailed off as she scrutinized Lin Nuo’s disheveled appearance, Ling Meng’s rumpled blanket, and what Su Kexin had just said, piecing together that they had indeed shared a bed.

But what exactly were they doing in bed? Were they just napping together?

Unlikely!

Ling Meng noticed the two girls at the door and an enraged flame ignited within her.

Here I am, enjoying a joyful moment with my Master, and you two troublemakers come barging in!

Seriously, this coarse Master doesn’t know how to appreciate the beauty of the moment.

Ling Meng quickly adjusted her demeanor, leaping off the bed, and said sternly:

“Ladies, is there something you need?”

“Wu boy, a fierce beast is attacking now, and we need your help. Sorry for interrupting your rest.”

“Not that we wouldn’t go! Besides, it’s our decision to help you guys; it’s not like we have an obligation. Can you stop rushing us? I was just enjoying some fun with my Master…”

“Fun? You two really are…” Liu Shuqin’s voice trembled.

“We were just training,” Lin Nuo patted Ling Meng’s head, urging her to stop; they’d attract the entire city’s attention if this kept up.

“Sorry for the wait, let’s head out.”

Lin Nuo quickly took up his sword and walked out, and Su Kexin finally turned to look inside.

She saw Wu Ying Ge, whose face was uncovered, revealing all his features to her gaze.

“Senior Brother?!”

Su Kexin suddenly exclaimed, her eyes scanning Lin Nuo’s face, taking in every wrinkle, scar, and stubble.

Lin Nuo shivered.

Crap, where’s my cloth? Ling Meng must’ve yanked it off earlier.

Also, Su Kexin, didn’t you filter your eyes? How could you see all this?
