Chapter 575: Caring Requires Sharing a Bed

The news of the god-level dragon being defeated spread like wildfire, and legends about Lin Nuo began circulating again in the Xuanyun Sect.

This man already had numerous rumors surrounding him, and now he had gained another title, even being called the Dragon Slayer.

It was only natural for this to cause a stir, considering how rare god-level beasts were and how formidable their power was—everyone who understood the value recognized it.

“Haha, not bad! For our Xuanyun Sect, surprises just keep coming—first Xie Yu leads his fellow disciples to slay a heavenly beast, and now Lin Nuo takes down a god-level dragon. It’s true that our sect is teeming with talent!”

Master Zhao couldn’t help but stroke his beard with a sigh, contemplating what Qin Shili said about Lin Nuo being out of contact, only to discover it was because of a plot against the Refining Demon Sect, having slain the god-level dragon.

Lin Nuo really was hard to figure out, but he often brought unexpected good news.

He was the youngest cultivator to slay a god-level dragon, a feat that would surely be recorded in the annals of Xuanyun Sect.

Meanwhile, Master Cong was left speechless, unable to retort, and Han Fairy seized the opportunity to retaliate:

“Master Cong, how do you think Lin Nuo measures up to your disciple Xie Yu?”

“Uh…”

Master Cong gritted his teeth, unable to come up with a rebuttal.

What could he say? Having defeated a god-level dragon, in terms of achievements, Lin Nuo completely overshadowed Xie Yu.

Xie Yu had hardly made a name for himself leading his fellow martial brothers to take down a heavenly beast, and now, just as he had started to bask in glory, news of Lin Nuo defeating a god-level dragon emerged.

Where was his face in all this?

At this moment, Qin Shili returned, looking at Xie Yu coldly, she said:

“Though I may not be as good as you, there are always greater talents beyond the heavens. There are stronger cultivators within Xuanyun Sect, I hope you work harder so you can at least see his back.”

Qin Shili’s cold words struck hard at Xie Yu, who now couldn’t even see Lin Nuo’s back, let alone catch up.

“Lin Nuo is indeed a hero, I can’t compare.”

Though Xie Yu said this, deep down he still felt extremely resentful.

He had always been the strongest male cultivator in Xuanyun Sect, while Lin Nuo was merely mocked as a trash character. With his promotion to the seventh stage and the slaying of a high-level heavenly beast, his future looked bright, and he thought he’d soon earn Qin Shili’s attention.

But now, Lin Nuo suddenly kept achieving remarkable feats—defeating the Refining Demon Sect and uncovering the Helong Hall conspiracy, he dismissed them all as nothing.

But this slaying of a god-level dragon was simply unimaginable.

Su Kexin was also very excited; every time she heard good news about Lin Nuo, she felt more thrilled than if she had encountered something amazing herself.

With Lin Nuo slaying a god-level dragon, breaking the past records of Xuanyun Sect, it was truly unprecedented.

Thinking back, she was still in closed-door training while her senior brother was achieving so much. But no matter, she was slow to advance; she would get there eventually.

Besides, her senior brother wouldn’t despise her for being slow-witted or lacking strength. The Phoenix Twin Swords and Water Spirit Heart were top-notch representations of ability. If he did find her lacking, he wouldn’t want to share it all with her.

Lost in thought, she couldn’t help but smile foolishly.

Those who once mocked Lin Nuo were now praising and marveling at him. They all realized how quickly things could change. Formerly mockers now found themselves surpassed, left far behind, unseen.

“Shili, where are you planning to go?”

Seeing Qin Shili’s intent to leave, Han Fairy went to ask.

“The Evil Bone Sect is causing trouble, I can’t just stay up in the mountains. I must go out and eliminate the demons.”

“You just got back.”

“My motivation has been ignited by Lin Nuo’s accomplishments; I feel I can’t stay in Tianling Mountain any longer. I need to go out and fight demons. Please allow me to take my leave.”

With a respectful bow, Qin Shili turned and left, a gentle breeze tousling her silvery-white hair.

Qin Shili quickly disappeared from everyone’s view.

Her personality was solitary; she could just leave whenever she wanted.

Whether she would actually go out and slay demons remained to be seen.

“Master, I want to go out too.”

Su Kexin requested from Han Fairy, who looked puzzled.

“Kexin, you’ve only just emerged from your retreat. Why do you want to go out suddenly?”

“That’s exactly why! I’ve just come out and have made some progress; I’m eager to put my skills into practice! Everyone is working so hard; I can’t lag behind.”

Su Kexin spoke earnestly, seemingly motivated by a sense of justice, eager to go down the mountain and uphold righteousness.

In reality, there was another reason.

After some back and forth on the topic of justice and bringing glory to the sect, Han Fairy ultimately agreed.

Su Kexin descended the mountain, and the fame of Lin Nuo surged throughout the Xuanyun Sect, igniting the fighting spirit of all disciples.

Meanwhile, the previously bright glories of Master Cong and Xie Yu were suddenly dimmed.

Master Cong gritted his teeth, wishing for nothing more than Lin Nuo to disappear from this world.

As for Xie Yu, he appeared respectful and modest, but internally he harbored hatred for Lin Nuo, as Lin Nuo’s existence overshadowed his brilliance.

“Lin Nuo, one day, you’ll pay for this!”

…

In Huan Tian City, City Lord’s Mansion.

After a period of recuperation, Lin Nuo had recovered and awakened.

Upon waking, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar bed, covered by a blanket.

This familiar situation indicated that he had come to after losing consciousness.

Every time he overdosed on medicine, this kind of thing happened—there was simply no way around it; the medicine was too potent, and to become a real man for a moment, one must pay the price.

He guessed he should feel exhausted, almost helpless, and expected to be cared for.

However, this time was not as bad as he imagined; while he did feel tired, he was not incapacitated.

He planned to stretch and move about a bit, but as soon as he did, he discovered two bodies blocking his legs.

“Ah…”

He heard a girl’s voice and turned to find two people on either side of him, the bed filled with a blend of light, sweet fragrances.

To his left lay Liu Shuqin, with hair cascading like a waterfall, and to his right was Li Ruo’er, her striking silver hair shimmering brightly.

Now, the three were sharing a bed under one blanket.

Liu Shuqin was still Liu Shuqin, but Li Ruo’er had returned to her loli state, likely having used up the energy that had spurred her growth.

What the heck, what’s going on? I just passed out, and now I’ve woken up next to two girls?

Lin Nuo’s movement startled Liu Shuqin and Li Ruo’er awake; they rubbed their sleepy eyes and were overjoyed to see Lin Nuo awake.

“Junior brother, you’re finally awake! That’s wonderful!”

“Young master is awake! How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Are you hungry? Ruo’er will cook something for you.”

As soon as he woke up, he was bombarded with chatter from these two girls, leaving him feeling overwhelmed.

“Why am I sharing a bed with you two?”

“We’re taking care of you, junior brother.”

“Yes, yes! Taking care of the young master!”

“Is sharing a bed necessary for caregiving?”

“Absolutely~ It’s necessary~ If we don’t share a bed, what if the young master has an accident at night? What would we do~?”

Li Ruo’er giggled.
