Chapter 204: I Just Want to Kill You

Lin Nuo pondered that this situation was indeed approaching.

Yes, it was concerning Ruo’er’s connection to the Immortal realm.

Ruo’er didn’t become the stunning Fox Immortal for no reason; there had to be some pivotal moment.

And that moment was the gaze of an Immortal.

Zifeng Valley, a mystical mountain where an Immortal visits Xuanyun Sect every few years, and some disciples always find ways to catch the Immortal’s attention since there’s a chance to cultivate in Zifeng Valley.

Disciples who get to go to Zifeng Valley are few and far between. Even the strongest among peers, Qin Shili, wouldn’t catch the Immortal’s eye.

Of course, it seemed she wasn’t keen on it anyway.

Ruo’er’s connection to the Immortal came from a chance encounter when an Immortal visited and took notice of her, which later laid the groundwork for her ascension after Lin Nuo left Xuanyun Sect.

Without her young master and support, Ruo’er had to rely on herself. At that time, the Immortal from Zifeng Valley made another appearance, and that’s how Ruo’er finally stepped onto the path of immortality.

At this moment, there would be a plot twist.

Ruo’er’s foster father lost her in a gambling game; he was already known as a gambler, caring little for family matters. Ruo’er was raised by her foster mother, and the two relied on each other. Her foster father had even been in jail before, only to return and continue gambling, selling off everything valuable in the house.

Ruo’er worked from a young age alongside her foster mother to earn money. Her willingness to follow Lin Nuo wasn’t without reason; despite his flaws, Lin Nuo was the third young master of the Lin family, had a little money, and offered to take Ruo’er in as a maid, helping her and her foster mother through tough times.

Of course, to Lin Nuo, this was trivial; he was rich and simply wanted to recruit a white fox loli as a maid, not exactly expecting to help her overcome hardship.

Her foster father lost her, and then the debt collectors from the gambling den came. At that time, Lin Nuo couldn’t pull out that much money, thinking he could flaunt his wits and win it back.

However, those were seasoned cheaters, and instead of winning, he ended up losing, facing mockery and disgrace.

Of course, his previous life had filled him with shame for a long time, being treated as a useless person until he left Xuanyun Sect, jumping into the Magic Spring and becoming a fiend before finally improving.

In his past life, if he had a path to righteousness, he wouldn’t have wanted to become the villain.

He wasn’t able to save Ruo’er, but later on, an Immortal stepped in and resolved the issue using legal means (rare spiritual stones). Of course, Lin Nuo claimed he would repay the debt, but didn’t let Ruo’er go. She willingly stayed on as his maid, but Lin Nuo’s reputation as a useless person had only worsened.

Unable to even protect his own maid, he had brought disgrace upon himself.

Moreover, lacking ability and hindering others’ futures only added to his shame.

Indeed, it was embarrassing. Looking back now, he found himself pathetic, trying to act tough despite his incompetence, ultimately leading to his own humiliation.

But things were different now.

The big villain wouldn’t allow anyone to snatch his possessions. It was time to reclaim his honor.

Ruo’er definitely wouldn’t leave, but this matter was no longer for the Immortal to interfere.

He had to rely on his own strength – the strength of a villain.

“Do you know Lin Nuo?” The robust man asked again.

“Lin Nuo? That’s me.” Lin Nuo answered straightforwardly.

“You’re Lin Nuo?”

The big men scrutinized Lin Nuo, clad in white, clean, with a sword at his side near Tianling Mountain, indeed resembling a cultivator.

Well, that was convenient. They stumbled upon him without effort and didn’t even need to go through formalities to meet Lin Nuo; it saved them some trouble.

“Is your maid named Ruo’er, the adopted daughter of Li Kun?”

“Yes, what’s it to you?”

Lin Nuo feigned ignorance.

At that moment, a burly man took out a debt note from his pocket, which bore Li Kun’s fingerprint, and handed it to Lin Nuo.

“Li Kun has incurred a massive debt at our gambling den, and currently we’ve pawned his adopted daughter Ruo’er as collateral. You now have two options: first, pay off the debt. Second, hand over Ruo’er. With this written evidence, I’m sure Xuanyun Sect advocates reasoning and won’t default on a debt.”

He emphasized the last part, increasing his voice to stress his point. With this clearly written evidence, it was simple to deal with the righteous Xuanyun Sect.

Moral attacks: whether a Xuanyun Sect disciple or the third young master of the Lin family, advocating reason, they definitely wouldn’t default, so he didn’t worry about not getting his money.

Lin Nuo took the debt note and read it. It indeed stated that Ruo’er had been pawned as collateral, along with the fingerprint.

He didn’t bother to verify its authenticity since it held no significance for him.

He wasn’t some upright gentleman who would consider their evidence. This debt note was merely for show to those gambling den folks.

“Indeed, disciples of Xuanyun Sect advocate reasoning.”

Lin Nuo calmly slid the debt note into his pocket, a cold smirk forming on his face.

“But I’m not.”

Suddenly, Lin Nuo hurled a punch toward the face of the man in front of him. This punch was powerful enough to send a two-hundred-pound brute flying.

After all, he was a third-tier expert; taking down a big man was manageable.

“What are you doing?!”

The other men shouted angrily and were ready to retaliate. However, Lin Nuo’s sleeves released a series of paralysis needles that struck the men, leaving them unable to move.

“What… you, as a Xuanyun Sect disciple, wouldn’t want to default on the debt and resort to violence, would you?”

“How could I ever strike you?”

Lin Nuo drew out his sharp sword with a smile and said,

“I just want to kill you all.”

With a swing of the sword, blood splattered, and the men fell, all losing their breath.

Killing people near Tianling Mountain was indeed a first for him, and it was pretty exhilarating.

According to protocol, the dead should be burned.

This time was no different; Lin Nuo planned to incinerate their bodies.

In an instant, a silver-haired girl descended from the mountain. Lin Nuo instinctively raised his blood-stained sword.

“Mm? You again?”

“Yes, it’s me. I’ve been waiting for your return, but you came back too late.”

Qin Shili landed, her gaze shifted to the corpses on the ground.

“Why did you kill them?”

“No particular reason.”

Lin Nuo sheathed his sword, knowing he wouldn’t win against Qin Shili, he had to run.

“Do you plan on reporting me for indiscriminate killing?”

“Not at all. You killing them must be for a reason; perhaps they were terrible villains. I’m not inclined to dig deeper.”

Qin Shili replied coldly,

“However, having corpses here isn’t ideal. They need to be dealt with.”

“Yeah, I plan to burn them.”

“Burning them will attract attention. Let me handle it with a little magic.”

Qin Shili waved her hand gently, conjuring a layer of ice to wrap around all the bodies.

She continued,

“Burn them inside this icy layer; outsiders won’t see what’s going on inside. Go ahead and burn them properly.”
