Chapter 539: What Malicious Thoughts Can a Little Loli Have?

“Right, right~? Come on, young master, eat more~”

Ruo’er pulled out several more fruits and offered them to Lin Nuo. She sincerely wished he could eat all the fruits from the orchard.

Giving you the best fruits is the genuine sentiment of this little loli.

Lin Nuo took a look and saw quite a few; these fruits were too sweet and had an ordinary taste, and he didn’t feel like munching on them.

However, out of respect for Ruo’er, he accepted them.

“Hold onto them for now. Eat them next time.”

“Next time? But they’re fresh! It’s better to eat them now~ Young master, let me peel them for you~ Come on, eat more.”

Ruo’er snatched the fruits from Lin Nuo’s hands, quickly peeled them with efficiency, then stood on her tiptoes, offering them right up to Lin Nuo’s mouth.

“Eat them later.”

“Come on, eat, eat~ Young master, just eat~”

Ignoring Lin Nuo’s words, Ruo’er stubbornly continued to bring the peeled fruits to Lin Nuo’s mouth. She believed that good things should be shared with him, encouraging him to eat more.

Helplessly, since she had already peeled them, throwing them away would surely hurt her fragile little heart, so he reluctantly took a bite.

This sweetness was overwhelming, almost like being fed excessively sugary dog food.

“Ahem.”

Lin Nuo quickly snatched the fruit from her hands and stuffed it into his clothes, preventing Ruo’er from peeling more fruits and trying to stuff them into him. He couldn’t handle it; it felt like swallowing a mouthful of syrup—he was about to be overwhelmed.

“Getting back to business, you came to Huan Tian City…”

“Young master, I have a small favor to ask.”

“What is it? Speak all at once.”

“Could you lower your head a bit? You’re too tall, and I’m too small.”

“What on earth?”

Lin Nuo didn’t expect what she was up to, but what malicious thoughts could a white fox little loli have?

Lin Nuo bent down, and Ruo’er extended her little tongue to lick Lin Nuo’s face.

“What are you doing?”

Lin Nuo was startled; had this little loli really evolved to the point of licking people?

“Seeing you, I couldn’t restrain my feelings~ People like us of the white fox bloodline are like this; it’s as if we’re pets, wanting to lick our beloved master’s face~”

Ruo’er hadn’t planned to hide it; she spoke her mind since it wasn’t anything embarrassing.

This sounded like he was playing some sort of master-pet role with Ruo’er, just short of being tied with a leash.

“A white fox is a white fox, and you’re a human. You need to be careful.”

“There’s no one else here, so it’s fine~”

Ruo’er was completely unconcerned, continuing to lick Lin Nuo’s face. Strangely, she found it somewhat delightful.

Could it be that she was hungry? The young master wasn’t food; she needed to keep herself in check~

“Stop, stop.”

Lin Nuo quickly pulled back; if she continued, he’d end up with her saliva all over his face.

However, her saliva had a pleasant scent, almost like perfume.

“Young master, don’t stop~”

Ruo’er had gotten addicted to licking; when Lin Nuo tried to withdraw, she followed him, her petite stature making her tiptoe and even jump to try to reach him.

Lin Nuo realized that indulging her had made her too unruly, so he gave her a light tap on the head.

Bang!

This made Ruo’er yelp in pain, covering her little head, pouting pitifully:

“Young master, that hurts…”

“You know it hurts?”

Lin Nuo replied coldly without mercy, “Everything in moderation; after all, you’re still a servant, and I’m the young master. You should follow orders.”

“Mm… alright, alright…”

Ruo’er had no choice but to comply with the young master’s wishes; otherwise, she’d end up being smacked again, and he certainly had some strength behind those taps.

“What brings you to Huan Tian City?”

“To find the young master~”

Ruo’er smiled smugly, her eyes narrowed, her tail wagging incessantly.

“You know I’m here?” Lin Nuo asked, puzzled.

“Of course! It’s a destined arrangement. I can sense you’re in this city; it must mean we’re quite fated! Regardless of the ends of the earth, we can meet~”

Ruo’er beamed with confidence. After spending more time with Lin Nuo, her speaking skills had improved; she was no longer as tongue-tied as before.

“Be honest.”

Lin Nuo raised his hand as if ready to hit her again. Ruo’er preemptively covered her head.

“Uh… I really mean it…”

Ruo’er covered her mouth, looking aggrieved.

“When it comes to deceiving, young master me is a master of the craft; you can’t fool me. The person who came with you is Dong Xiyan, and you must have a reason for coming to Huan Tian City. What destiny? Have you really worked on your fortune-telling skills?”

Lin Nuo saw right through Ruoer’s fib. She hadn’t come here by coincidence; rather, it seemed planned, and certainly, that fairy wouldn’t come just because of some fate.

“Are you trying to keep secrets from me too?”

“Uh… no, I just said it…”

Seeing Lin Nuo’s stern demeanor, Ruo’er realized she couldn’t keep messing around; otherwise, the young master would smack her again, and her head would be sore.

“Yes, Fairy Dong took me down the mountain to train…”

Ruo’er explained her reasons for coming, and the issues she encountered during her training, including how Fierce Beasts said they were humans and their brutal nature, as well as her search for a Beast Tamer in Huan Tian City.

Lin Nuo understood generally; this was a customary practice in cultivation. No matter where one cultivated for a while, they would eventually need to venture down the mountain, as true understanding comes from experience; all techniques need to be applied practically.

It seemed Ruo’er had not been in Zifeng Valley for long before she came down; evidently, Dong Xiyan intended to cultivate her seriously.

At least she still belonged to Lin Nuo; otherwise, she might truly become a future pillar among immortals.

“Young master, do you have any clue about the Fierce Beasts claiming to be human? Fairy Dong mentioned it might have something to do with the Evil Bone Cult.”

“I have no clue.”

Lin Nuo denied it outright; if she had come to him looking for leads, he wouldn’t tell her anything. Immortals were quite capable; let them figure it out on their own.

Lin Nuo had some knowledge about the Evil Bone Cult, given it was a radical cult. As a villain, how could he not know?

However, this cult didn’t last long. Their extreme ideologies often led to self-destruction, sacrificing themselves to destroy cities; eventually, their numbers dwindled.

If he remembered correctly, Liu Shuqin specialized in taking down this Evil Bone Cult.

Oh wait, he was mistaken; Liu Shuqin had quickly met her end.

It was Qin Shili who seemed more invested in fighting against this cult than Su Kexin. Su Kexin could handle major bosses, but dealing with these random cultists relied on Qin Shili.

This matter likely involved the Evil Bone Cult, but what did it have to do with him? After all, he wouldn’t be the one to eradicate them; there were plenty of folks promoting justice in these times.

“However, as Fairy Dong said, your strength isn’t enough to interfere. Focus on visiting that Beast Tamer in Huan Tian City and learn some skills.”

“Mm mm, okay~”

Obedient little Ruo’er followed Lin Nuo’s advice and stayed out of trouble; with the young master here, he’d surely solve it.

At this moment, Lin Nuo suddenly became alert, quickly pulling out the Paralysis Needle and tossing it in a specific direction.

The needle flew far, but it landed empty. In the distance, a tree rustled, making a sound.

“Young master, what…?”

“Someone’s here.”

Lin Nuo readied his hidden weapons and daggers.
