Chapter 316: The Escape of the Wind Man (Third Update)

This time, Luo Xiaoxue and Qin Shili weren’t just arguing; they had actually started throwing hands!

Originally, Qin Shili’s ice techniques could easily block Luo Xiaoxue and even freeze her, but she didn’t expect that Luo Xiaoxue, fueled by rage, could break through the restraints of her ice.

It seemed an unknown power surged within Luo Xiaoxue, suddenly boosting her strength.

Qin Shili felt the pressure and had to get serious.

Finally loosening her grip, she faced off against Luo Xiaoxue, while Lin Nuo took the chance to make his escape.

He had a bad feeling and thought it was best to skedaddle; after all, neither side was someone to provoke.

One was a seventh-tier Great Master, and the other, although not very powerful, was backed by the Great威天龙.

What did he have?

Nothing at all; all the fun seemed to belong to others.

Time to retreat.

“Lin Gongzi!”

Luo Xiaoxue noticed Lin Nuo slipping away from Qin Shili and quickly yanked him back.

Luo Xiaoxue looked fragile like a delicate flower, but her pull was surprisingly strong. Just as Lin Nuo intended to dash away, he was dragged back by Luo Xiaoxue.

“Lin Gongzi, come here! You mustn’t let that woman enchant you!”

“No, I—”

Before Lin Nuo could finish, Luo Xiaoxue pulled him into her embrace. He was once again enveloped by her feminine fragrance; surprisingly, it was subtler and more pleasant than Qin Shili’s.

Even if women smelled delightful, nothing beat the aroma of roasted meat.

Oh right, speaking of roasted meat…

As Luo Xiaoxue and Qin Shili started brawling, they knocked over all the skewers!

Ah, my roasted meat! Could you take your battle somewhere else? The meat is innocent!

Qin Shili had gotten careless; just when she had loosened her grip, Luo Xiaoxue snatched Lin Nuo back.

How could she allow this woman to take her things? Naturally, she was furious.

“Don’t think I won’t act against you. For him, I can take on the whole world!”

Qin Shili declared with utter seriousness, a chilling aura radiating from her as the surrounding greenery began to freeze.

For Lin Nuo, she could stand against the royal family; this was no exaggeration.

She was a confused person herself; although she stood as the strongest among her peers in the Xuanyun Sect, she often felt lost and directionless.

But it was Lin Nuo’s understanding and guidance that helped her find her way, and since he was such an enigmatic figure, he naturally became the most important man in her life.

To oppose the world for the most important man was absolutely no exaggeration.

As for Luo Xiaoxue, she, too, had her fate changed by Lin Nuo; he had cured her frost disease, allowing her to regain a normal physique.

No, after treating her frost disease, she actually acquired a body suited for martial arts, and influenced by Lin Nuo’s knightly ideals, she pursued the path of martial arts herself, yearning to control the world in the future to bring peace and stability to her country.

Thus, Lin Nuo held great significance for her; her future definitely needed him.

Of course, the two girls admired him for another reason: he was handsome. Just having an influence on their thoughts wasn’t enough; he needed a face that was pleasing to the eye.

“I can also stand against the world!”

Luo Xiaoxue declared firmly,

“Lin Gongzi is my future.”

“Daydreaming.”

Qin Shili sneered, launching a powerful ice attack at Luo Xiaoxue, instantly freezing her in place.

Even if she was a princess, even if it could be seen as treason, Qin Shili would not yield.

Then, she quickly pulled Lin Nuo back into her embrace.

Luo Xiaoxue furiously unleashed her golden light power, shattering the ice that encased her body.

“Return Lin Gongzi to me!”

Luo Xiaoxue lunged forward to snatch him back; the angrier she got, the stronger her golden light became. Closing in on Qin Shili, if she loosened her grip even a bit, Luo Xiaoxue would reclaim Lin Nuo.

Naturally, just as Luo Xiaoxue pulled Lin Nuo back, Qin Shili countered with a palm strike that sent her flying several steps back, and Lin Nuo was pulled away once more.

Luo Xiaoxue had an indomitable fighting spirit and grew more vigorous with each clash. Finally forcing Qin Shili to loosen her grip, she managed to snatch Lin Nuo back again, only to have him stolen once more by Qin Shili.

Lin Nuo felt like his arms were being stretched to their limits.

These two young ladies usually appeared delicate, but when it came to fighting, their strength was extraordinary, almost ripping him apart.

“Can you both let me take a breather? My hands are about to snap!”

“Lin Gongzi, quickly come with me! This woman will be the death of you!”

“He is the best man in my life; what are you compared to him? The weight of the world in your heart is far lighter!”

“He matters most; he is more important than the world!”

“Ha, powerful people love to speak flowery words.”

“No, you’re the one talking nonsense! I am completely sincere!”

Luo Xiaoxue and Qin Shili bickered while fighting, causing havoc in the surrounding thickets.

In a split second, as they both released their hold on Lin Nuo’s hands,

What a chance!

Lin Nuo summoned his wind spirit root, transforming into the Wind Happy Boy, and with a whoosh, he slipped out from between them.

“Ladies, I must take my leave!”

Lin Nuo hurriedly turned and ran away at lightning speed; he might not excel in anything, but he was the champion of retreating.

Qin Shili and Luo Xiaoxue instantly halted their brawl.

Though they disliked each other, they understood boundaries, knowing what was essential.

Why were they fighting? It was all for Lin Nuo.

But since Lin Nuo had fled, what were they still fighting for?

“Let’s call it a draw for now.”

“Agreed.”

The two immediately reached a consensus and chased after Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo hadn’t recovered yet and was a bit slow to run away; they were in hot pursuit, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

If they catch him, he was sure to face some serious turmoil.

At that moment, the Dongwei people were heading toward the spot where Lin Nuo had just been barbecuing.

Upon inquiry, they learned Luo Xiaoxue’s whereabouts and were on their way to check things out, when a wind man dashed past.

“Who goes there?”

The Dongwei people immediately became alert, seeing a young man sprinting toward them.

However, this young man didn’t attack; with a whoosh, he turned and sprinted in another direction.

“Sir, that seems to be Lin Nuo,” one person commented.

Then, two young ladies arrived; upon a closer look, the Dongwei people recognized them as Qin Shili and a girl resembling Luo Xiaoxue.

“Sir, that’s her; it could be Princess Luo Xiaoxue!”

“Mm, if it’s Luo Xiaoxue, she’ll recognize us; we can test the waters a bit.”

Sun Feng said, and then he respectfully bowed to the approaching Luo Xiaoxue.

“Your humble servant pays his respects to the princess.”

Yet, Luo Xiaoxue ignored him, her focus solely on Lin Nuo. Seeing him curve away, she continued to follow, completely disregarding the Dongwei people.

And thus, the Dongwei people bowed to empty air.

“Sir, we were ignored… probably not the princess.”

“She’s in disguise, intentionally ignoring us.”

Sun Feng said with a serious face,

“Just now, a powerful aura passed by. You two, go ahead and see what happened where they just came from; the rest of you follow me to chase them.”
