Chapter 302: I Can Be Your Maid

Chapter 302: I Can Be Your Maid

Lin Nuo was a straight-up salted fish, suddenly blasted into the sky like a firework, unsure of where he would land.

What high-flying dreams and aspirations? This blue sky possibly leads to heaven, and the ground to the underworld—his only destiny is to get hurt.

Amitabha, hope I can at least keep my body intact.

Considering the fall, he was pretty sure he was a goner; even if he didn’t fall, with these two bickering, only he was destined to be the one who’d bite the dust.

Lin Nuo thought about shouting for them to stop, but yelling was quite hard, especially with the wind howling up here. He gave up on struggling.

Might as well close his eyes; who knows, opening them might land him right back in his room at the Xuanyun Sect.

Of course, opening his eyes could also mean he had arrived in the underworld.

Life and death are fated, wealth and nobility are granted by the heavens. Lin Nuo reflected that he hadn’t even completed the villain’s task yet, and here he was about to end this humiliating life.

Once again blasted into the sky, the bickering between Qin Shili and Ling Meng started right from square one; both were devising ways to snag Lin Nuo for themselves.

They continued clashing in mid-air, sharp swords colliding, violent spiritual energy undulating through the sky, causing a few birds to plummet down in shock.

Ling Meng had improved plenty since their last bout, but when facing Qin Shili, she still felt like she couldn’t keep up. The difference in strength was clear, especially in aerial combat where Qin Shili had the upper hand.

“小修士，受死！” (“Little Cultivator, die!”)

“魔徒，你不是我对手。” (“Demon Disciple, you’re no match for me.”)

Qin Shili spoke as she took down Ling Meng, but she had held back, knowing Lin Nuo initially took her on as a disciple for a reason; killing Ling Meng would ruin her plans.

But that didn’t mean she would go easy on Ling Meng.

With a clear advantage in the air, Qin Shili summoned ice blocks beneath her feet, floating gracefully like she was on flat ground, while Ling Meng’s disadvantage became evident.

“魔徒，下去吧。” (“Demon Disciple, down you go.”)

Qin Shili noticed Ling Meng’s flaws and sent another icy palm strike her way; despite having spiritual protection, Ling Meng was sent plummeting down.

Ultimately, it was Qin Shili who caught Lin Nuo.

In an instant, Lin Nuo felt the cold in the air fade away.

Suddenly, a hint of warmth enveloped him, and his small face seemed to touch something soft.

What was that? Something fragrant, soft, and warm?

He slowly opened his eyes but couldn’t make out what was in front of him.

Ah, what was obscuring my vision? What provided warmth in the chilling sky?

“It’s okay now, I’ll take you back.”

Qin Shili held Lin Nuo gently, stroking his hair. She tossed her ice sword aside and soared through the air.

Breaking away from battle, she naturally used sword flight to leave swiftly.

Ling Meng looked on in seething anger—her master had ended up in that woman’s embrace! And that loathsome chest was trying to seduce him!

Her master should be in *her* arms! What was that crazy woman planning to do with him?!

Wrath surged through her, strong demonic energy erupted, yearning to tear Qin Shili apart.

She wanted to reclaim him, but Qin Shili had already taken off on her sword, leaving at a speed that utterly bewildered her, making it impossible to chase.

“I’m so mad!!!”

Once she landed, Ling Meng vented her wrath by bombarding the forest, completely unable to contain her fury.

She clearly saw her master, they were so close to reuniting, only for that Qin woman to pop up.

That woman was preventing them from reuniting, which was absolutely infuriating!

But as infuriating as it was, all Ling Meng could do was wreak havoc to relieve her anger, yet it changed nothing about the situation.

She had no idea where Qin Shili had flown off with him; in a flash, they had completely disappeared.

“Young Master, what should we do now…”

One of her subordinates dared to whisper after Ling Meng’s outburst.

Ling Meng shot them a glare, her eyes filled with murderous intent making them shiver as if the fire of anger in her gaze could burn them alive.

“Go, what else is there to do?!”

Ling Meng scolded, straining to rein in her demonic energy. Looking at the devastated forest, she saw the mountains and rivers in disarray.

As a leader, she shouldn’t let her emotions control her.

Calm down, calm down…

But how could she stay calm when her master had been taken away by that woman!!!

Another round of destruction; the Refining Demon Sect disciples were overwhelmed by the powerful aura that surrounded her.

They dared not speak, lest they face true doom for inciting Ling Meng’s wrath.

With the strength of those blasts, they would probably be obliterated without a trace.

“Go!”

Ling Meng shouted angrily, disregarding the burning forest, and left the area.

Her subordinates could only follow her lead; for her to shift her mood so dramatically, that Wu Ying Ge must truly be formidable.

Perhaps the future revitalization of the Refining Demon Sect rested heavily on him.

However, he had been captured by Qin Shili of the Xuanyun Sect, and trouble was bound to follow.

Ling Meng returned, but not long after, she received some dire news.

The Blood Curse in the city had been lifted, thanks to Lin Nuo guiding Liu Shuqin in developing an antidote, making Lin Nuo the greatest contributor.

Enraged, Ling Meng continued her rampage; her master had been taken, and Lin Nuo had just achieved a great feat. She gritted her teeth in frustration and could only channel her rage into destruction.

“What happened to her?”

Mu Yiting asked Ling Meng’s subordinates; she hadn’t accompanied them and was unaware of the details.

The subordinate quietly recounted the reasons for Ling Meng’s anger, and Mu Yiting, upon hearing, could understand Ling Meng’s plight.

It was truly adding insult to injury; terrible news kept coming one after another, anyone would be furious.

Unfortunately, Ling Meng hadn’t let her accompany them, so she missed witnessing her master’s grandeur.

Thinking she might never see it again.

As a cultivator of the demonic path, being captured by Qin Shili would surely result in severe punishment—she likely wouldn’t survive.

She felt anxious; if Ling Meng’s master died, Ling Meng wouldn’t want to help them anymore, which was also a terrible outcome for her.

But there was nothing she could do; all she could do was pray.

Such unfortunate fate.

…

Qin Shili was flying away with Lin Nuo on her sword, not returning to the city but taking him to another small town within her Qin family’s jurisdiction, where the environment was beautiful and the locals were friendly. There stood a luxurious mansion for the Qin family to vacation in, often left empty with staff for maintenance.

Choosing this spot, Qin Shili returned with Lin Nuo to that estate. The local manager was informed of her arrival and immediately sent servants to clean and prepare meals, along with other tasks.

Qin Shili had already sent word back to the Lin family, letting them know she was temporarily taking Lin Nuo out and would be back soon, to prevent them from thinking something had happened to them.

In addition, she ordered skilled members from the Qin family to protect Xia Hanmo; if anything happened to her, it would be heads rolling.

Worn out and powerless, Lin Nuo felt the warmth of Qin Shili’s embrace, realizing he had arrived at a strange mansion.

“What… where is this?”

Lin Nuo whispered.

“A place for you to recover,” Qin Shili said, placing Lin Nuo on a large bed and covering him with a blanket.

“Today, I can be your maid, and I’ll serve you just the same. You can totally forget about Ruo’er.”
