Chapter 351: I Also Want to Be Your Support

Chapter 351: I Also Want to Be Your Support

Lin Nuo could still recall the terror of being bombarded by the heavens back in the day.

At that time, he used an Explosive Pill, which had some side effects, leaving him utterly fatigued and unable to move.

Then, he encountered Qin Shili and Ling Meng—good grief, they sent him flying through the air without a second thought.

It was quite a hassle.

And now, it was happening again.

But without the Explosive Pill, he figured he wouldn’t need to use it this time. Who knows where he might end up if he fell down now? It was anyone’s guess whether he’d wake up in his own Xuanyun Sect room.

Time rewind?

Did you think I was 486?

Ling Meng and Qin Shili were practically enemies, their eyes blazing as they faced each other, having a history of fighting over a man.

This time was no different, as the righteous Xuanyun Sect clashed with the demonic Refining Demon Sect, sworn enemies for life.

“Last time, I took a hit from you, but this time I won’t let it happen again.”

Ling Meng said coldly, her hands already charged with thick Demon Soul Power, unleashing a wave of chaotic energy toward Qin Shili.

Qin Shili sliced down with her sharp ice sword, sending a stream of ice qi flying. The clash of the energy wave and the sword qi created an intense commotion.

Of course, these two weren’t here just to fight; the battle was merely a means to an end—primarily concerning Lin Nuo.

After a brief exchange of spells, they hurriedly went after Lin Nuo.

Each had their reasons; Qin Shili believed it was to eliminate evildoers, while Ling Meng insisted it was to find their master.

As they closed in, there was another scuffle, Demon Power meeting Ice Techniques, but both sides showed signs of fatigue.

“Demon Woman, you’re not my match.”

Qin Shili extended her right palm, casting an ice wave that pushed Ling Meng back several paces.

However, Ling Meng didn’t back down; she fought harder, growing stronger with every encounter. As a prodigy from the Demon Path, her excitement only fueled her Demon Soul Power.

Boom!

Another intense clash erupted, an explosion of force. Lin Nuo was seeking an escape amid the swirling winds, caught in repeated waves of energy. It was certainly a hassle for him.

This woman was just a nuisance.

Lin Nuo spun around in the winds, getting dizzy. He regretted ever teaching Ling Meng that absurd Demon Power.

He strongly suggested removing it from her repertoire; it was far too troublesome.

“Master, don’t worry! I will definitely kill that cultivator.”

“You’re still too weak.”

Bang! Qin Shili pushed Ling Meng back yet again, making sure she couldn’t get near Lin Nuo.

The wind vortex needed to be destroyed.

But she didn’t have a proper plan yet; the level of the wind vortex was already advanced Demon Power. She could get in, but to break it would require brute force, risking harm to other cultivators.

Suddenly, someone dashed into the wind vortex.

Who was it?

A figure appeared, wrapping their face in a cloth, swiftly chasing after Lin Nuo.

It was that young master of the underworld.

Moving at an astonishing speed.

Qin Shili had an idea and launched an ice wave attack toward Mu Yiting.

Mu Yiting immediately channeled her energy to block the ice wave.

“Young Master Ni, let’s go!”

Mu Yiting caught up to Lin Nuo in a flash, grabbing his hand.

Lin Nuo looked over; wasn’t that Mu Yiting?

Wasn’t there a barrier? How did she get in?

Also, how could she maneuver freely in the wind vortex?

He wondered if she’d secretly been working hard or hiding her strength?

It looked like he was the only one who couldn’t traverse freely in and out of the wind vortex barrier.

Mu Yiting suddenly appeared far stronger than Lin Nuo could have imagined. Not only could she enter the wind vortex, but she also resisted the effects of the wind swirl and even withstood Qin Shili’s ice wave.

How terrifying.

Mu Yiting dragged Lin Nuo away, and Ling Meng watched, unable to hold back. With an angry roar, she increased the range and intensity of the wind vortex, just in time to block Mu Yiting and Lin Nuo.

Yet Mu Yiting wasted no words and smashed right through the barrier with a single palm, charging ahead.

Retreat.

Mu Yiting successfully pulled Lin Nuo out of the wind vortex; Ling Meng had no way to stop them now.

Seeing them escape quickly, Ling Meng was furious, stomping her foot in frustration. She was genuinely enraged.

It was such a rare chance to meet her master, yet that woman stole him away.

That woman—was it Mu Yiting?

Was she that strong?

No way, if she really had the strength to traverse the wind vortex, why was she still being hunted down?

So who was she?

With doubts swirling in her mind, Ling Meng ceased the wind vortex, and Qin Shili sheathed her sword.

Ling Meng addressed Qin Shili:

“Cultivator, we both lost today; there’s no reason to continue fighting.”

“It’s you who lost.”

“Is it? Look, in the end, my master was still taken away by that woman.”

“But you can’t defeat me; that’s a fact.”

Qin Shili replied coldly, showing no mercy to Ling Meng.

Ling Meng was Lin Nuo’s pawn to subvert the Refining Demon Sect from within, so she wouldn’t kill her. Every interaction was restrained.

“Demon Woman, go back to your place; this isn’t suitable for you.”

“Whether it’s suitable or not isn’t for you to decide; we’ll leave when we’re ready.”

Ling Meng turned to her injured subordinates, asking:

“Can you still walk?”

“We can still manage, Young Master.”

“Let’s go then; staying here has lost its meaning.”

“Young Master, weren’t we here to find Young Master Ni?”

“They’ve snuck away while we were distracted, and now there are pesky cultivators around. We’ll surely find no one.”

Ling Meng led the remaining Demon Disciples away. Staying any longer was pointless; Mu Yiting had vanished, and there was that troublesome woman on the enemy side. There was little purpose in remaining.

Ah, it’s unfortunate not to reunite with her master, but she believed they would meet again one day.

Perhaps her strength wasn’t enough, and her master wasn’t ready to reunite with her yet.

No worries; as long as she knew her master was near, he hadn’t lied to her—he was definitely watching over her from somewhere.

Such earnest care.

…

Mu Yiting was fleeing with Lin Nuo, her speed comparable to a joyful breeze.

“Looks like they’re not chasing us anymore.”

Mu Yiting turned back, seeing that no one was following,

“But we still need to move.”

“Young Master, your strength is truly impressive.”

“Actually, that’s not my true power.”

Mu Yiting removed her cloth, smiling,

“If I suddenly collapse, please take me home.”

“What?”

This sentiment felt strangely familiar.

Why did it feel like he had experienced this before?

Could it be?

“Young Master, you didn’t take any pills, did you?”

“Ha, you can’t fool you! I took an Explosive Pill; the sudden boost in power is indeed tempting, but it’s short-lived. I might faint soon.”

“Why would you mess with that stuff?”

“I can’t just watch you get overpowered by them. Also…”

Mu Yiting lifted her hand, gently brushing Lin Nuo’s face,

“You’re not fighting alone; I also hope to be your support at least once.”

I’m crying, how about you?

Lin Nuo immediately said:

“Young Master, let’s stop for a moment. You close your eyes and rest; you’ll be home when you wake up.”

“I feel pretty energetic… ah… what’s happening…”

Suddenly, Mu Yiting felt dizzy and weak, collapsing into Lin Nuo’s arms.
