Chapter 416: There’s No Sea God at All

Chapter 416: There’s No Sea God at All

Lin Nuo initially had two objectives: one was to kill Su Kexin, and the other was to save Ruo’er.

Since he didn’t manage to kill Su Kexin, he should at least be able to save Ruo’er, right?

Ruo’er, don’t die on me, or I’ll really become the villain who has to deal with the Goddess of Milk!

No worries, Ruo’er at least has a protective aura of celestial spirit. Plus, Lin Nuo threw her a Recovery Pill when he first arrived. Well, can’t say it’s incredibly strong, but it does speed up her recovery, allowing her to heal with her internal celestial spirit.

Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue shut up; they didn’t dare argue anymore. After all, both had made a big mistake, focusing only on Lin Nuo and even competing with each other, while neglecting the fallen Ruo’er.

How shameful, how shameful indeed.

“Senior Martial Brother, what happened to Ruo’er…?”

“She’s not dead, she can recover.”

Lin Nuo replied coldly, succinctly. Then he looked around at the chaotic scene.

There were two large craters he had created; the Water Spirit Fist was just too powerful, directly smashing that Dragon Man into pieces. He could have been the strongest man on the surface without even trying.

As for the others, it was Su Kexin and Ruo’er battling with Hu, and the big puddles of red blood on the ground should belong to Hu.

The explosion of strong fighters is terrifying, indeed.

“Thank you, Great Knight Lin, for saving me.”

Luo Xiaoxue approached to thank him respectfully.

Lin Nuo was puzzled and asked:

“Saved you from what?”

“Just like last time, I encountered an intruder, and he was very strong. I almost lost my life, but thanks to Great Knight Lin’s talisman, I once again escaped danger,” Luo Xiaoxue replied respectfully.

Lin Nuo: “…”

This isn’t my credit at all; that’s your Great威天龙, right?

It’s like I’m a bit too close to this heroic moment—if I had such skills, would I let you two act cool in front of me?

These two still don’t realize their own powers, attributing everything to me, Lin Nuo.

What an embarrassing honor.

Lin Nuo had to interrupt their conversation:

“Okay, you two stop bickering. Let’s go find the villagers.”

Lin Nuo picked up Ruo’er and walked a short distance. Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue hurriedly followed.

He stopped, turned around, and asked:

“By the way, where have the villagers moved to?”

“I know where they retreated from, follow me.”

Luo Xiaoxue said and mounted her horse.

“But I only have one horse. Since Su Kexin is injured, she should ride and take Ruo’er, while I walk with Great Knight Lin. You two can just follow us.”

“No, Luo Xiaoxue should ride. I’ll walk with Senior Martial Brother.”

The disagreement flared again, when suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes—a white fox leaped out.

Lin Nuo recognized that white fox; it was Ruo’er’s fox, fluffy and soft to the touch.

Of course, Ruo’er herself is even softer to the touch, but this little fox was quite enjoyable too.

Though Lin Nuo didn’t speak fox language, he could tell something was up just by looking at the fox’s expression.

Follow it.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Nuo rushed after the white fox, carrying Ruo’er, while Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue quickly caught up.

After a short run, they reunited with the group of villagers.

They hadn’t gone far; they were still near the village, and a crowd stopped there, not advancing further.

Lin Nuo found his mother, Xia Hanmo. Thankfully, they had attracted a few members of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan, who didn’t cause trouble for the villagers, but they didn’t move on from their position either.

“Nor’er, I was so worried about you. I’m glad you’re back safely. What happened to Ruo’er?” Xia Hanmo asked anxiously.

“She’s injured and unconscious, but she’s slowly recovering. It’s not too serious.”

Lin Nuo gently placed Ruo’er down and asked:

“Why didn’t you leave?”

“We couldn’t. Nor’er, we retreated. A few kilometers away, there are court soldiers, and they won’t let us pass.”

“They’re asking for trouble.”

Lin Nuo said coldly, and began contemplating how to deal with them.

Suddenly, the ground shook, the sky darkened with clouds, and thunder rumbled. The sea started to churn with heavy waves.

“Is the Sea God angry?”

“Please calm down, Sea God!”

Some villagers spoke of the Sea God, but Lin Nuo had a bad feeling, sensing disaster approaching fast.

“It’s too late to leave now.”

Lin Nuo said coldly, estimating that the ocean’s defenses were being breached, and a tsunami would soon wash over them.

He could fly on his sword and abandon them, regardless of their fate. After all, he had seen hell on earth before.

But he looked at the mountains in the distance, where his grandmother’s grave lay.

Then he gazed back at the village, which held his precious memories.

“There’s no Sea God at all; just someone bearing the burdens for you.”

Lin Nuo turned his gaze to the ocean, making a choice that went against a villain’s principles.
