Chapter **25. She Can Absorb Him

“Ah? Young Master, this…”

Ruo’er was surprised; why did he suddenly want her to get into bed?

“Quickly.”

“Oh… alright…”

Obediently, Ruo’er slowly took off her tiny shoes and climbed onto Lin Nuo’s bed.

Her small face turned red as she looked at Lin Nuo sitting cross-legged, likely seeking her for dual cultivation.

It’s my honor to help the Young Master. Go, Ruo’er! Let’s assist the Young Master in his cultivation~!

“Sit in front of me, facing away.”

“Oh…”

Ruo’er followed Lin Nuo’s instructions, sitting obediently in front of him, feeling a bit nervous.

What is the Young Master going to do?

Suddenly, a warm hand reached for her small waist.

“Ah?”

Ruo’er jumped a little, realizing that the hand belonged to her Young Master.

“Y-Young Master…”

“Don’t move.”

“Oh…”

Ruo’er didn’t dare to move, while Lin Nuo gently kneaded her waist, her little face turning as red as an apple.

This might be the Young Master’s hobby; as long as he likes it, that’s enough.

But it started to feel a bit ticklish, then very comfortable. The Young Master’s hand was warm, and the pressure was just right, quite nice.

Soon Lin Nuo’s hand stroked Ruo’er’s little head, and she felt so relaxed that her silver-white ears drooped like a pampered little pet.

Ah, so pleasant and comforting~

“All done.”

Lin Nuo pulled back his hand,

“There was a lot of chill, so I cleared it a bit for you.”

“Ah? Young Master, so you were driving away the chill for me?”

At that moment, Ruo’er noticed a trace of chill energy wrapped around Lin Nuo’s hand. He had plunged his hand into a pot, and when he pulled it out, the chill dissipated as he capped it.

“Young Master, what is this?”

“Things have dual natures; the chill in the human body can also be quite useful. How do you feel?”

“My body feels warm and very comfortable.”

Ruo’er slightly swayed her fluffy big ears and smiled with her eyes half-closed.

So warm and full of energy.

Right now, Ruo’er was still an innocent little girl, but who would have thought that in five years, this cute and silly little loli would become a national fox fairy possessing demon-slaying prowess?

Lin Nuo recalled how she had once let him go during a mission, which led to her being punished and confined by the fairy gate, making her suffer quite a bit.

Such a situation couldn’t happen again because she would eventually turn into a fox demon, leaving all those fairy gates behind.

“Young Master, I heard news today that you killed a disciple of the Demon Sect. Is it true?”

“False.”

“Ah, ah, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have doubted the Young Master… You’re so amazing, Young Master. The Demon Sect, um… Ruo’er heard it’s an evil sect focused on demonic cultivation. They seem really impressive from their tone, how did you do it~?”

“Ruo’er.”

Lin Nuo replied lightly,

“This isn’t something to be proud of; don’t mention it in front of me again.”

“Oh, oh, Ruo’er understands.”

Ruo’er nodded repeatedly. The Young Master was indifferent to fame and wealth, remaining calm even about slaying demon disciples and dragons; perhaps that’s the true demeanor of a Knight or Hero.

Hmph, those bad people still speak ill of the Young Master. But the Young Master just hides his power and waits for the right moment to show it, right?

“Let’s eat.”

“Okay~ Young Master.”

The two sat at the dining table and enjoyed a delicious dinner.

…

After eating, Ruo’er playfully picked up her plate and left Lin Nuo’s room.

Lin Nuo retrieved the pot he had just used, opened the lid, and took out a white crystal stone before closing the lid again.

Then he placed the white crystal stone into a pot filled with his aura.

After a while, he took out the crystal stone, which had turned a light blue.

Lin Nuo furrowed his brows, gaining some insight.

“Sure enough, this little girl absorbed my aura. There’s an issue with our dual cultivation.”

Lin Nuo had bought a Crying Crystal in Candle Star Town, pre-placing it in a pot, then he extracted Ruo’er’s chill and placed it inside, later retrieving the crystal to put it in another pot filled with his aura.

This was actually simulating the dual cultivation process; if the crystal absorbed his aura, it meant Ruo’er could absorb his aura during dual cultivation.

Then he reversed the experiment, putting a crystal that collected his aura into that pot filled with chill, and after a while, when he took it out, the crystal color remained unchanged.

Alright, he now came to a final conclusion regarding the results of this dual cultivation:

She can absorb him, but he cannot absorb her.

Why does this feel a bit like that?
