Chapter 2: Returning to the Magic Spring, Let Her Soak for a While

Chapter 2: Returning to the Magic Spring, Let Her Soak for a While

But the second option seems unlikely. How long has it been since the Demon Star fell? Those immortal sects wouldn’t just sit idly by and let that happen; they would definitely destroy it. Otherwise, with so many people going there, it would be a disaster if non-demon practitioners turned demonic and demon practitioners grew stronger.

So it’s the first option.

But about the first option…

Truth be told, last time Ruo’er transformed into her teenage form from a few years later, and that was when she truly captured my heart. But now, she’s still just a little girl…

Wait, why am I, a villain, even thinking about all this?

No big deal, think it and do it. Why hesitate?

“Alright, it’s fine now. Use your techniques and see if anything feels off.”

“Oh, young master, what Spirit Technique should I use?”

“Anything is fine, your choice.”

“Oh, okay!”

Ruo’er’s ears perked up, and an idea crossed her mind.

Right! She could show the young master something!

She wanted to demonstrate a Spirit Technique for dispelling spirits, which would be accompanied by radiant white light. Then, she would outline a pattern with that light.

It would be a heart.

This represented her feelings for the young master.

Hehe, let the young master see this!

Ruo’er began to use her technique, and soon, a white spirit light appeared from her hand. She skillfully directed the light and quickly traced out a design.

A heart-shaped pattern.

A long time ago, the young master had told her that in his hometown— a place she didn’t even know the name of— there were many ways for a young man to express his feelings to the girl he liked, like arranging flower petals into a heart shape, or using fireworks to create heart shapes.

She tried to do the same, as it showed she remembered every word the young master said!

Lin Nuo was somewhat surprised that Ruo’er managed to outline a heart shape with her spirit light.

To be honest, as a boy, seeing this little maid’s effort stirred some feelings in him.

But he couldn’t let it show; he maintained his usual cold demeanor.

“Young master, young master, this is Ruo’er’s heart! Did you receive it?”

Ruo’er squinted her eyes, looking like an innocent little angel. Lin Nuo already had a soft spot for her, and now his heart raced even more.

“Mm, I received it. Who taught you this?”

“Oh, young master! Didn’t you say that the young men in your hometown express their feelings to the girls they like in similar ways? So, I tried it too. Young master, you… don’t like it?”

“No. It’s quite nice. So, you don’t feel anything off, right?”

“Not at all! It feels great. But young master, why do I feel like I can also use Immortal Techniques? As you said, I am a demon practitioner.”

“You’ve become one, but not completely.”

“Huh? What does that mean?” Ruo’er looked a bit confused.

“It means we still need to take the next step to solidify this demonization process.”

Lin Nuo said seriously, not mentioning his own failure. It was all part of the plan.
