Chapter 378: Affairs of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan

Lin Nuo discovered that spending too much time with these girls had significantly improved his body’s flexibility.

He had successfully leveled up to the Devil Muscle Man.

This tug-of-war truly showed no mercy, as if it were a fierce competition!

Thankfully, Lin Nuo was no stranger to the ways of the world, and he had honed quite a few skills in dealing with women’s ruthless tactics.

When facing such fierce pulls from both sides, Lin Nuo had to deploy his newly practiced move.

Skinny Bones Technique.

As the name suggests, it shrinks bones.

Mu Yiting and Qin Shili were gripping his arms tightly; in this situation, he needed to overpower their divine strength to break free.

Clearly, that was unrealistic. His cultivation was merely that of a newbie, how could he contend with them?

As Mu Yiting and Qin Shili continued their vigorous tugging, they suddenly felt their grips slip.

Recovering from the surprise, they found that Lin Nuo’s arms had smoothly slipped out of their grasp.

How did he do that?

Lin Nuo’s arms shrank, but once freed, they returned to their original size, creating a little gust of wind in the process.

He quickly jumped backward, increasing the distance between them.

“Junior Brother.”

“Lin Senior Brother.”

They both turned to him, getting ready to rush over, only for Lin Nuo to conjure a small whirlwind around his legs as he continued to leap backward.

“Farewell.”

Two simple words, clear and to the point, then with a whoosh, he blended into the forest, leaving only swaying grass in his wake.

He was gone.

Lin Nuo had left, and the two girls were instantly baffled.

With the main character gone, they lost their fighting spirit.

What was the point of arguing? Winning or losing didn’t matter anymore; Lin Nuo was no longer there.

Qin Shili looked at Mu Yiting and said:

“Goodbye.”

Mu Yiting nodded in response:

“Mm, goodbye.”

The two reached a consensus and left together.

The back mountain of Tianling Mountain quickly returned to calm.

…

Unknowingly, Lin Nuo arrived in front of Han Fairy’s domain.

In front of the domain was a spirit pool, bubbling with water, and beside it were two elegant white spirit cranes.

Those were the two animals Lin Nuo had been fantasizing about roasting one day.

They had gotten used to drinking from the pool in front of Han Fairy’s domain, and in the past, Ruo’er would feed them when she had the time. Now that Ruo’er had gone to Zifeng Valley to pursue her immortal journey, the once-grand spectacle of a hundred beasts gathering had dwindled.

He saw a gentle and elegant young girl in a white dress, holding some small spiritual fruits, walking up to the spirit cranes to feed them.

Seeing the girl, the spirit cranes immediately approached, bending their heads down to eat the scattered fruits.

The girl had a blank expression, staring at the spirit cranes pecking at the fruits, lost in thought.

As Lin Nuo approached the domain, he made some noise in the grass, and the girl turned to look at him.

She lifted her lips in a slight smile, and the cloud of gloom on her face instantly vanished, giving off a sweet feeling akin to a spring breeze.

“Junior Brother, you’ve returned.”

Liu Shuqin bowed to Lin Nuo. He had been away for quite some time, and having not heard from him, she felt a bit nostalgic and melancholic.

Solving the problem rested with the one who created it; seeing him now, all her melancholy dissipated.

Joy and delight.

“Feeding the spirit cranes?”

“Mm, Junior Brother, since Ruo’er isn’t here, I have time to feed them. I haven’t seen you lately; did you not notice?”

“Just out on a task.”

Lin Nuo stepped closer to Liu Shuqin, took a few fruits from her hand, and mimicked her actions, slowly scattering them on the ground.

“How’s your training going lately?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Some progress! I’ve fused the strengths of the Wind Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root, which surprisingly shows remarkable effects.”

“That’s great. Don’t frown every day.”

“Do I?”

“You know it yourself.”

Lin Nuo unconsciously had only two spiritual fruits left in his hand, stopping the scattering, and tossed them into his mouth.

These fruits, though small, had quite the punch.

Decided, he could definitely fight for food with the spirit cranes in the future.

“I’m doing well, Junior Brother. I’m not frowning; you’re just overthinking it.”

Liu Shuqin maintained her smile. Despite being overly sentimental at times, she was trying her best to present her best side to Lin Nuo.

Knowing that Lin Nuo cared for her made her genuinely happy, without a hint of pretense.

“And how about you, Junior Brother? How has your training progressed?” Liu Shuqin returned the concern.

“Just the same.”

Lin Nuo replied casually; he wasn’t lacking in techniques but rather in his spirit power capacity, lacking enough energy to execute his big moves.

Everyone else was leveling up, but he seemed stagnant.

Frustrating.

As the two fed the spirit cranes, Han Fairy stepped out of the domain.

“Lin Nuo, you’re back at just the right time. I was about to take you to a meeting.”

Han Fairy approached Lin Nuo and said.

Lin Nuo was puzzled:

“What meeting?”

“A meeting with the Master and several elders. It’s important. You must attend.”

Han Fairy replied,

“As for what it is, you’ll find out when we get there.”

What on earth were they up to this time?

Lin Nuo wondered, clueless about what new antics this group had cooked up.

Let’s go see.

“Junior Brother is impressive, being able to attend a meeting with several elders; you’ll surely become a pillar of Xuanyun Sect in the future.”

Liu Shuqin said with a smile, naturally happy for Lin Nuo’s achievements.

“Shuqin, you should come along too.” Han Fairy said to Liu Shuqin.

“Master, can I really?”

“Of course! The elders have praised you well, and they’ll allow you to attend.”

“But in terms of cultivation, I feel I’m not strong enough.”

Liu Shuqin was worried. Since this was said to be important, her skill level seemed too low to attend and might embarrass the sect.

“If I can attend at the third level, why should you be afraid at the sixth?” Lin Nuo replied.

“But Junior Brother’s strength is undoubtedly the best among our peers; how can I compare?”

“Stop hesitating. If I say you can go, you go. No need for so many reasons!”

Lin Nuo said impatiently. Liu Shuqin had entered so early, yet she was behaving like a newcomer without confidence.

With no way out, Liu Shuqin was obliged and followed.

This turned out to be a meeting intended for the older generation, but now two young disciples were intermingled.

Usually, important meetings like this hardly included young disciples, but Han Fairy had her reasons. Originally, she aimed to bring Qin Shili, but knowing Liu Shuqin’s recent lack of confidence, she specifically invited her.

As for Lin Nuo, he was summoned by the Master himself, so he had to be there.

Upon arriving in the meeting room, the Master and various elders gradually arrived, with Liu Shuqin patiently waiting beside Lin Nuo.

As for Lin Nuo, he remained calm, not feeling inferior in front of the elders. After all, once upon a time, he had been able to compete with them.

Once everyone was settled, Master Zhao spoke up:

“Since everyone is here, I’ll cut to the chase; I’ll get straight to the point. Do you all remember the Sea Domain Dragon Clan that invaded our continent a few hundred years ago? History states that they nearly wiped out humanity and were our enemies. However, recently, a messenger from them has arrived, seeking to establish friendship with our sect, offering treasures like Sea Domain Spirit Pearls and spiritual artifacts. What does everyone think this could mean?”

Upon hearing Master Zhao say this, Lin Nuo nearly choked on his tea.

What the heck, the Sea Domain Dragon Clan?
