Chapter 268: If You Say That, I Won’t Be Sleepy!

Chapter 268: If You Say That, I Won’t Be Sleepy!

Lin Nuo called for Ruo’er to come over, and naturally, it was for this particular situation.

Otherwise, was it to pet a fox?

Though there was that reason, it wasn’t the main one.

As an all-purpose maid, Ruo’er was the best choice for both home life and travel.

This was the trend of the times; just as she stepped onto the immortal path, she had already mastered the Spirit Bag Technique to store items, which just went to show how strong her maid spirit was.

Lin Nuo walked over to Ruo’er, who had drool trickling down her little mouth, likely lost in a delicious food dream.

After all, this little loli was a foodie, and Lin Nuo knew it well.

Under the influence of a narcotic fragrance, she was heavily sedated; no amount of thunder outside would wake her up.

No worries, waking someone under the influence is usually reliable.

Lin Nuo dashed to the drawer and pulled out a small spirit vial filled with a certain aroma.

This was called the Awakening Fragrance, capable of negating the effects of the narcotic. He decided to let her take a few whiffs to break the spell’s hypnosis.

Lin Nuo still covered his mouth and nose with a specially made gas mask; after all, he couldn’t inhale too much of this stuff, or else he would genuinely be unable to sleep.

As a villain stepping out into the world, his gear must be complete. With just one narcotic tactic, he was fully equipped to counter it.

After Ruo’er inhaled for a bit, Lin Nuo capped the small vial.

Alright, that should do.

“Ruo’er, time to wake up.”

Lin Nuo patted Ruo’er’s face, but she was in deep slumber and barely stirred.

“I remember you’re a white fox, but can sleeping turn you into a pig?”

Lin Nuo pinched Ruo’er’s cheek, and she started to respond a little.

“No, don’t… Young Master… Ruo’er will break… heehee… Young Master, so robust…”

Ruo’er was drooling and talking in her sleep, occasionally making silly smiles, leaving Lin Nuo dumbfounded.

What the heck? What kind of dream is this little loli having? Is it a food dream?

It must be something thrilling.

What’s going on in that little head of yours?

“Wake up!”

Lin Nuo swiftly slapped Ruoer’s little head, and that smack was quite strong, instantly waking her up.

“Ah, ah, Young Master, what’s happening?!”

Ruo’er startled up, fearing something earth-shattering had occurred.

But when she looked around, she found herself in Lin Nuo’s bed, and the young master was already up, lighting candles.

Ruo’er stretched widely, yawned, and rubbed her sleepy eyes:

“Young Master, it’s late at night, what’s going on?”

“I need you for something.”

“Um… I’m so sleepy… Can it wait until tomorrow?”

“No, now. Once you finish, you can sleep.”

“What is it… it wouldn’t be dual cultivation, right? If you say that, then I won’t be sleepy anymore~”

Ruo’er’s nerves seemed to have been shocked awake, the drowsiness vanishing by half.

“……”

Lin Nuo smacked Ruo’er’s little head again. This little loli, always thinking about dual cultivation.

Back when they first practiced together, she was quite shy; now, she’s all about that dual cultivation, dragging everything to that topic.

“What dream did you just have? You were drooling.”

“What dream?”

Ruo’er rubbed her head, and after being smacked, she really did come to.

“Just sleeping with the Young Master.”

“Dream within a dream?”

“Hmm… not really, more like a cozy sleep, getting a bit intimate.”

“Alright, I got it.”

Lin Nuo interrupted her, initially thinking she would be more innocent, but it seemed he was mistaken.

If it really got intimate, he might end up with zero spiritual power left.

This fox, while appearing harmless, might be ferociously strong.

“Enough about that. Let’s get to the point. I need you to use your Spirit Bag Technique; there are some items I need you to store for me.”

At this moment, Lin Nuo was carrying a bundle, which wasn’t large and didn’t seem to hold much.

Ruo’er tilted her head:

“Young Master, what’s this?”

“This contains my spiritual tools and玄器 (mysterious items). With the recent influx of visitors to the Lin family mansion, I’m worried. Keeping them in your Spirit Bag will be safer.”

“Oh, oh~ that’s fine.”

Ruo’er took out her Spirit Bag, gave it a gentle puff, and performed a spell. Soon enough, the Spirit Bag expanded enough to fit the bundle.

Ruo’er didn’t pry into what it was because, after all, her Young Master hadn’t given permission. Plus, those spiritual tools were too profound for her to appreciate, so it was better not to look.

The bundle vanished into the Spirit Bag, and Ruo’er continued her spell, shrinking it down to the size of a medicine capsule.

“Since this is a spiritual tool, I’m worried it might cause a spiritual resonance that could harm you, so I’ll oversee the Spirit Bag.”

Lin Nuo took the Spirit Bag from Ruo’er’s hands. As a cautious villain, keeping things in his hands was much safer than trusting anyone else.

“Young Master, actually, I could have hidden them during the day. Why do it so late at night?”

Ruo’er asked curiously, tilting her head.

“Because I just used them and needed to hide them immediately.”

Lin Nuo continued to babble nonsense, and Ruo’er believed him.

Lin Nuo reminded Ruo’er:

“Ruo’er, the rules in Zifeng Valley require you to keep the Spirit Bag matters confidential. Do you remember?”

“I remember, remember! Every immortal has their unique Spirit Bag. After coming down the mountain, besides slaying demons and eliminating evil, immortal techniques cannot be used in front of mortals, and naturally, the Spirit Bag Technique also can’t.”

Ruo’er nodded repeatedly in response.

Immortal techniques can’t be used in front of mortals, but they can be used in front of Lin Nuo.

As for slaying demons and eliminating evil, sorry, that demon can’t be taken care of.

Just when she was excited, Ruo’er fell back into a sleepy state, stretching and yawning lazily:

“Aiya~ Young Master, is there anything else? I’m so sleepy…”

“Nothing else, sleep now.”

“Okay~”

Ruo’er’s eyelids began to droop lazily as she climbed back into Lin Nuo’s bed, flopping down comfortably, but she didn’t forget to wave:

“Young Master, come up too! Join me~”

“Alright.”

Lin Nuo packed away the Spirit Bag, blew out the candles, and climbed into bed.

Even though the two chatted inside, there was still not much movement outside.

This was the power of the talisman shielding technique, perfectly avoiding any surveillance.

Lin Nuo closed his eyelids, resting his mind.

The next day, as dawn broke with the crowing of roosters, Lin Fei’s subordinate, Niu Qi, marched into Lin Nuo’s room with strong soldiers in tow.

“Lin Nuo, there’s a big deal! Get up!”

Niu Qi was about to rap on the door forcefully, but Lin Nuo had already risen and opened the door for them.

Ruo’er also got up early, as she was used to the habit of rising early to prepare breakfast for the Young Master.

However, Lin Nuo told her to meditate and practice before hastily eating her breakfast, so she sat cross-legged on Lin Nuo’s bed, cultivating her energy.

Suddenly, so many soldiers showed up, interrupting Ruoer’s practice.

What’s going on here?

After Lin Nuo opened the door, he smiled:

“Hey there, big brothers! I didn’t expect you guys to have the role of waking me up; isn’t that usually the job of the servants?”
