Chapter 567: Dual Cultivation

Chapter 567: Dual Cultivation

Lin Nuo, along with Luo Xiaoxue and Han Xiao, arrived outside the door, where they witnessed the immense God-level Giant Dragon wreaking havoc in Huan Tian City, flames lighting the sky, and the anguished cries of the people echoing around.

In addition to the giant dragon, various fierce beasts appeared, and their numbers were increasing rapidly, filling the area like a scene from a biohazard movie.

Luo Xiaoxue was struck with terror, contemplating that she had never encountered such a hellish nightmare before.

As for Lin Nuo, he remained calm and composed, gazing towards the blaze with a fierce glint in his eyes.

Their dwelling was still safe for the moment, but it was uncertain what would happen next, given the destruction they were causing to the city. If they didn’t take action, nothing would be left unscathed.

“Lin the Knight, that God-level Giant Dragon is too brutal! If we don’t intervene, the citizens here will be slaughtered!”

“You wouldn’t be able to do much even if you went now; you might end up risking your own life,” Lin Nuo replied seriously.

“Stay here and don’t run around.”

“But…”

“I’ve already told you; if you want to rush to your death, I won’t stop you.”

Just then, Lin Nuo sensed two powerful auras approaching, and two ferocious beasts pounced on them, brandishing their sharp claws and fangs as if they had spotted their prey.

“Die!”

With a furious roar, Lin Nuo swung his blade and swiftly dispatched the two beasts, crimson blood gushing forth and staining the ground.

There were countless more of these fierce beasts, and they were merely two among the scores lurking around.

He had to guard this place and prevent these menacing creatures from getting any closer.

Before long, a scream from Liu Shuqin echoed from inside the room. Sensing something was amiss, Lin Nuo hurried over and flung the door open.

“What’s going on?”

Inside, Liu Shuqin had bite marks on her hand and was bleeding.

Meanwhile, Li Ruo’er had blood near her mouth.

“Ah, Shuqin sister! I… I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Li Ruo’er was bewildered, suddenly feeling Liu Shuqin’s hostility, prompting her to bite down, drawing blood.

She strained to control herself, managing to calm down a bit and refraining from further bites.

“It’s… it’s okay.”

Liu Shuqin held a smile on her face, applying a spell to her hand, and soon, the wound healed, stopping the bleeding.

It was just a minor injury; nothing serious.

“Is she still having issues?” Lin Nuo asked as he approached Liu Shuqin.

Liu Shuqin nodded:

“Yes, her problem hasn’t been resolved; it’s only been temporarily alleviated.”

“How is it temporarily alleviated?”

“I discovered that another energy was ignited within her, attempting to resist the beast transformation. Ruo’er’s bodily change should be related to this energy, but it’s merely a last-ditch effort to resist.”

“Then it seems this is akin to a flicker of hope?”

“Mm-hmm, roughly speaking. The feral instincts of the beast transformation are trying to invade her consciousness, and she inadvertently bit me. I fear she can’t hold out for long.”

Liu Shuqin stated seriously, initially thinking Li Ruo’er was fine, only to realize that it was merely a delay in her transformation; she would eventually succumb.

“If we can maintain this ignited energy, can she resist the beast transformation?”

Lin Nuo proposed, and Liu Shuqin reflected for a moment before replying:

“That’s not incorrect, but it’s very fleeting and will dissipate quickly; it’s hard to maintain. Ultimately, it relies on her willpower to sustain it, but that’s quite difficult, given her own spirit energy is fractured, lacking sufficient strength and vitality. It’s like someone without food; no matter how strong the willpower, they’ll still fall.”

Liu Shuqin implied that Li Ruo’er’s spirit energy was shattered, and just relying on this sudden surge of energy wasn’t enough to negate the transformation.

“Then let’s just enhance her energy and spirit strength.”

An idea suddenly struck Lin Nuo, and he turned to Liu Shuqin and the others and said,

“I have a solution. You all go out and keep watch; don’t let the fierce beasts disturb us.”

Liu Shuqin and the others were puzzled about what this plan was, but seeing the situation was dire, they nodded and followed Lin Nuo’s instructions and stepped outside.

Regardless, they believed Lin Nuo would definitely save Li Ruo’er and Huan Tian City.

The door shut, leaving only Lin Nuo and Li Ruo’er inside.

“Master, I really didn’t mean to hurt Shuqin sister! I don’t know why it happened.”

“Li Ruo’er.”

“Ruo’er is here, Master.”

“Let’s dual cultivate.”

“Ah? Dual… dual cultivate?!”

Li Ruo’er was taken aback upon hearing these words, especially since she had been pleading with her master for dual cultivation before, but he had always rejected her.

Now, why was he asking for it?

“Master, why?”

“Don’t ask; just come on, we’re short on time.”

“Oh, okay!”

Li Ruo’er perked up, thrilled at the prospect of dual cultivating with her master—something she had long sought after.

Previously, they would dual cultivate in bed, starting by sitting cross-legged, harmonizing their energies, and then moving onto skin-to-skin contact.

Of course, the physical interaction wasn’t excessive; while it was about balancing yin and yang, it merely involved embracing each other warmly while also refining their energies together.

She cherished that intimate contact, frequently begging Lin Nuo to dual cultivate with her.

He would often say he’d do it next time, but nothing ever came of it.

Was it finally happening now? She needed to seize the opportunity.

Despite her initial shyness, she slowly began to remove her clothes.

Lin Nuo was also unrestrained and started to undress.

Lin Nuo was trying to use dual cultivation to enhance Li Ruo’er’s strength, hoping to maintain this surge of energy and prevent her transformation.

Normally, one would consider Li Ruo’er as the furnace, but Lin Nuo had deduced that he was actually the furnace this time, serving Li Ruo’er.

“Come on.”

Lin Nuo sat cross-legged while Li Ruo’er followed suit, initiating their usual dual cultivation practice.

However, after some time, it yielded no results. As the minutes passed, Li Ruo’er tightened under the pressure, losing her rationality but still retaining a fragment of her consciousness.

She didn’t see Lin Nuo as an enemy like she did Liu Shuqin; instead, she wished to keep him by her side forever, showering him with boundless affection.

Lin Nuo realized her condition was abnormal, suspecting she was on the verge of transformation, and things were extremely urgent.

He thought that the standard dual cultivation strength suitable for immortals simply wouldn’t be enough; he needed to escalate to the level of the Harmony Technique.

It was quite a hassle for him.

But for Li Ruo’er, he could make that decision.

“Li Ruo’er, relax.”

Lin Nuo patted her shoulder, but unexpectedly, Li Ruo’er grabbed his hand, exerting force and pushing him down.

“Master, Ruo’er likes you the most.”

Li Ruo’er revealed a strange smile and leaped onto Lin Nuo.
