Chapter 355: N陪小哥

When it comes to sharing a bath, Lin Nuo can’t help but recall that explosive spring incident, it’s still fresh in his mind.

How could it not be fresh? He almost got blown to pieces!

Of course, that was because Qin Shili and Su Kexin were battling it out.

Despite there being no risk of little girls throwing down in the underworld, there is one big problem.

That is… his appearance.

He has gone through a lot of trouble to change his looks and dress up, just to maintain his disguise up to this point.

But sharing a bath? Isn’t that just a recipe for being exposed?

You know, remembering the time he soaked in the Spirit Spring, Ling Meng had already caught a glimpse of his true self.

Luckily, at that time Ling Meng didn’t know he was Lin Nuo; otherwise, with her hatred toward him, she would have ended him right then and there.

If Mu Yiting found out he was Lin Nuo, and that he was here undercover, she would be outraged and pop a fierce explosive pill, taking his life in an instant—he’d be dead meat!

He must refuse.

“What’s wrong? You look like you’re about to burst?” Mu Yiting noticed the little details on Lin Nuo’s face.

“No, I just choked a bit.”

“Are you that surprised?”

“A little.”

Lin Nuo nodded lightly and continued, “Young Master, I think sharing a bath is inappropriate.”

“What’s inappropriate about it?”

“Because my family has a custom—one cannot share a bath with an unmarried woman, otherwise, they will incur divine wrath.”

“There’s such a custom? Then just treat me like I’m married to you, right?”

“That’s not acceptable! This matter is serious; it should not be taken lightly.”

Lin Nuo said very seriously.

Mu Yiting pressed on, “Then I could just marry you outright, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

“That’s out of the question! I can’t let you marry me just to train in the Harmony Technique.”

“It’s not just about training the Harmony Technique! Didn’t we talk about it before? If one day we truly became a couple…”

“Young Master, there must be other ways.”

“So you really can’t share a bath with me?”

“Not possible.”

Lin Nuo flatly denied her.

Mu Yiting was miffed; she had proactively invited him, yet he had rejected her!

The Helong Hall is so weak, willing to let him join, offering him some benefits, and he still turned it down.

How lofty of him, though I like it.

“Fine, I won’t force you to share a bath, but I have other ways, though they’re not as good as sharing a bath.”

“What ways?”

“Just… don’t move, there’s a little bug in your hair.”

Mu Yiting leaned in close to Lin Nuo, her hand brushing through his hair as if she was getting rid of a bug.

Then, she immediately kissed Lin Nuo on the lips.

Whoa.

Lin Nuo instinctively leaned back, breaking free and pointing at his lips.

Here we go again.

I’m telling you, Yiting, no, Mu Yiting, you’re trying to fool me, the old villain!

“Young Master, this is just a room, in the training grounds you should still be careful.”

“What’s the big deal? I don’t mind.”

Mu Yiting licked her lips, looking a bit unsatisfied.

She felt this man’s lips were incredibly tempting, and after one kiss, it seemed addictive, like she wanted more.

Lin Nuo: “…”

Is this how a female boss in the underworld operates? Out in the open trying to make a move on her male subordinate?

Makes sense, after all, those big bosses often hit on pretty secretaries with good figures.

Scary; it seems she has set her sights on my charming face and figure.

“Young Master, you really should be careful.”

“Hehe.”

Mu Yiting giggled while covering her mouth; this Lin Nuo, usually so proud and cold, can actually say such things now.

He’s really convincing!

“This is a part of the Harmony Technique: improving the bond between two people through kissing, thereby increasing the technique’s strength,” Mu Yiting explained.

What the heck? This is absurd!

Enhancing power through kissing?

Do you think I’m some sort of Shido Itsuka, here to break your seal?

Even Su Kexin’s Dual Dance Sword Technique isn’t this outrageous!

Lin Nuo noticed the manual in Mu Yiting’s hand and said, “Young Master, can I take a look at the manual for the Harmony Technique?”

“No way! If you know the details, what if you practice with another woman? How would that be good?”

“…Why would you think like that?”

“You’re so outstanding; isn’t it normal for me to think that way?”

Mu Yiting teased with a mischievous smile, completely shedding her authoritative demeanor and appearing more like a friendly girl.

“Seriously, can’t you let me see?”

“Then can you share a bath with me?”

“Not possible.”

“In that case, I can’t either. Everything I mentioned is in the manual; you don’t need to doubt it, just follow along. What, don’t you trust me?”

“Not at all, just curious.”

“No need to be curious. Just let me take charge this time! I’ve read it many times, and everything I said is accurate. Kissing is just one part of it; there are many others, like hugging, holding hands, and sharing a bed…”

“Are you handing me a couples manual?”

Lin Nuo was shocked upon hearing this. Are we practicing or dating?

Good grief, have I turned into N the Escort?

“More or less; the Harmony Technique is actually designed for couples to cultivate together, so doing some intimate things is just normal.”

Mu Yiting gently brushed her long hair and spoke softly, “So, to help us grow stronger, let’s work hard together.”

Work hard, my foot! This is clearly a couples manual; it doesn’t involve any actual cultivation steps—absolutely unscientific!

Lin Nuo said, “Young Master, I think we should take it slow; rushing might lead to mistakes.”

“What do you think?”

“We could start with holding hands.”

“Sure!”

Mu Yiting raised her right hand and added, “Then please, lead the way.”

Mu Yiting was hinting for Lin Nuo to take the initiative; always making the first move herself, she hoped this time Lin Nuo would take the lead.

Lin Nuo directly took her hand, deciding that holding hands was way better than lying down and sharing a bath.

This felt like a bit of a power shift for him; if he didn’t make a move soon, she might just take control completely.

The handsome man and beautiful woman truly looked like an ideal couple, envying everyone around them.

A group of subordinates was gritting their teeth; the popular female boss of Helong Hall was being charmed by the newcomer, Ni Daye.

So frustrating!

But Ni Daye was indeed the one who resurrected their faction, so they couldn’t help but respect him.

Deep down, Mu Yiting was just a girl dreaming of love, often seeing sweet romantic tales of couples in various stories and novels.

She, too, longed for a simple yet sweet life.

However, this little hand-holding moment, seemingly ordinary, stirred a storm of emotions in her heart, making her feel all fluttery inside.

“Let’s not practice today; how about we explore some place?” Mu Yiting suggested.

“Where to?”

“Since our faction is near the sea, let’s head to the beach! Feel the sea breeze, watch the sunrise and sunset, and leave all the stuff in the hall behind.” Mu Yiting smiled.
