Chapter 420: The Correct Use of the Heart of Water Spirit

Just as Lin Nuo was about to leave, Su Kexin arrived.

She came quietly, without a rainbow cloud or celestial radiance, in a very low-key manner.

She took out the azure crystal, the Heart of Water Spirit.

The Heart of Water Spirit is a pair, one for Su Kexin and one for Lin Nuo.

This pair was forged by the ghostly couple from Tianling Mountain hundreds of years ago; their potential is similar to that of soulmate weapons, with strength depending on the holders.

There is also a rule of shared power; if one party grows stronger, the other does too.

It’s like the Phoenix Twin Swords, Lin Nuo found that his Phoenix Sword was continuously leveling up.

As for the Heart of Water Spirit, the one Lin Nuo held must have gotten stronger thanks to Su Kexin, benefiting from her explosive power.

It’s unclear whether the Heart of Water Spirit is effective against other species besides seafood.

Lin Nuo asked her, “What do you mean it guided you here?”

“Actually, I’m not too sure myself. Its light pointed toward the seaside, as if giving me a direction to go there. This matter is significant, and I must go.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes, although you told me to stay behind, its flickering light seems to be telling me I must go. After I embarked on the way to the seaside, its glow became steady and stopped flickering. I believe this choice is right.”

“I’m not judging whether it’s right or wrong, but what are you doing here? What can you do?”

Lin Nuo questioned Su Kexin, who scratched her head, genuinely unable to say why she came.

She just felt she had to come, but didn’t know why.

“Ah… I’m sorry… Senior Martial Brother… I just felt I had to come, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do…”

Su Kexin pouted, losing confidence, and asked softly.

Hearing Xiao Su’s words, Lin Nuo felt like the words “ridiculous” were written all over his main character face.

As a villain, he needed to act purposefully and logically, whereas she just came based on a flicker of light and her own feelings.

She didn’t even know what to do upon arriving. Here he was, a major villain, aware that he had to protect the alternate space and prevent natural disasters, while she, the main character, came just to enjoy the sea breeze?

What a classic reckless hot-blooded main character! The key thing is that this type of protagonist can often break out in crucial moments and defeat the villain, directly saving the world—how infuriating!

Even though Lin Nuo currently mocked this type of protagonist, he too once fantasized about being that main character with a middle schooler’s mindset.

Bursting forth in desperate situations, turning the tide, fighting valiantly to protect important people.

Your smile will be protected by me.

Thinking of this, Lin Nuo got goosebumps, feeling awkward enough to want to find a hole to hide in.

“So your ghost teacher taught you to act based on feelings?” Lin Nuo took the opportunity to poke fun at Han Fairy as well. This teacher-student duo deserved it, bantering made him feel better.

“Ah, no! Senior Martial Brother, this isn’t about my master… It’s my poor consideration, I’m sorry, please forgive me…”

Su Kexin repeatedly apologized, knowing that the heavy tone of her senior brother clearly indicated his disappointment with her thoughtless arrival.

She felt she was not good enough; indeed, she was too weak.

What she didn’t realize was that Lin Nuo merely wanted to tease her for fun.

Getting annoyed at a clumsy main character, wasn’t that essentially being clumsy too?

“Senior Brother, what’s the situation like now…”

“There’s no hope.”

Lin Nuo waved his hand dismissively, his tone cold.

“Ah, no hope? Can’t we really save Ru Yu Village? There’s always a way out, right?” Su Kexin said anxiously. There must be other methods; surely, after the darkest night, a new dawn would come.

Lin Nuo thought there was nothing wrong with this idea but felt conflicted from a villain’s perspective.

One person’s joy could come at the expense of another’s pain; if the protagonist found an opportunity, what would happen to the villain? Why should the protagonist always find a way out while the villain’s hopes shattered?

Just because you’re the protagonist?

Lin Nuo grumbled, “If you have a plan, then go save them.”

“Um…”

Hearing Lin Nuo’s tone, Su Kexin lowered her voice again, realizing she truly had no plan and could only spew some optimistic words.

“Senior Brother, the Heart of Water Spirit led me here, and the two predecessors said this is crucial to resisting the Sea Domain Dragon Clan. There must be a way!”

But how to do it, Su Kexin maintained her optimistic attitude, holding her Heart of Water Spirit out towards Lin Nuo.

“This thing might be okay for fighting, but right now, fighting isn’t the issue.”

Lin Nuo replied irritably, but he took the Heart of Water Spirit that Su Kexin offered and placed it together with his.

The two crystals touched, but there was no reaction; not even a peep, what use is that?

“Useless.”

Lin Nuo returned the Heart of Water Spirit to Su Kexin, who took it back, thought for a moment, and came up with an idea.

She often came up with strange ideas, saying, “Senior Brother, I heard from the predecessors that the Heart of Water Spirit needs intimacy between two people. Um, I thought we could try that.”

“Try what?”

“Senior Brother, extend your right hand and place your Heart of Water Spirit on it.”

“What the heck?”

“Just place it~ Let’s try it; it’s better than doing nothing!”

“Don’t pull my clothes.”

Lin Nuo hesitantly extended his right hand and placed the Heart of Water Spirit on his palm.

Su Kexin held her Heart of Water Spirit in her left hand and linked her hand with Lin Nuo’s.

With both their Hearts of Water Spirit connected in this hand-holding manner, a surge of energy erupted, accompanied by a glowing aura.

Lin Nuo looked, “Oh, this actually works?”

What kind of activation method is this—a hand-holding friction activation?!

“Senior Brother, we did it! As expected, we need to be closer to awaken their power!”

Su Kexin excitedly exclaimed, as if discovering a magical code, everything suddenly clicked.

Indeed, Lin Nuo felt the surge of energy making him feel a bit better.

“But what’s the use? Can it resist a tsunami?” Lin Nuo countered.

“Ah, Senior Brother, since we know how to activate their energy now, with your intelligence, you must be able to devise a solution! Isn’t there a big formation out at sea? You’re skilled with formations; maybe we can use this pair of Hearts of Water Spirit to set up an even stronger one!”

“You think too highly of me.”

Lin Nuo replied, but after some thought, he realized what little Su said actually made some sense.

Rebuilding the formation was impossible, but repairing it could be an option.

He understood some principles; if the Heart of Water Spirit could provide energy, maybe they could repair it.

But did he really have to hold Su Kexin’s hand to repair it?

It seemed without taking her along, he wouldn’t be able to unleash the Heart of Water Spirit’s true power.

From a distance, Wu Qiong watched the couple holding hands and growing increasingly furious.

That day, the dragon turned into a dog.
