Chapter 577: The Collapse of the Bed

Chapter 577: The Collapse of the Bed

Liu Shuqin’s sudden approach took Lin Nuo by surprise.

After all, someone like her, a proper young lady, had always been demure and graceful.

But now, all that modesty had been thrown out the window, her elegance transformed into something rather unrefined.

Can it be considered elegance? Her figure and beauty were already alluring enough, and now she was wearing a thin dress at night, the straps of her dress had slipped down, revealing snowy-white skin through the weak light of the room.

With a soft inquiry laced with her expectations, she yearned to be pampered by Lin Nuo just like Ruo’er.

Pampered? That could be quite taxing! Once the Harmony Technique twin cultivation starts, dealing with one Ruo’er is enough of a challenge, adding Liu Shuqin into the mix would be too much to handle.

Not a good idea, not a good idea.

“You’re talking about pampering, referring to twin cultivation?”

“That would be ideal, but I know it can’t be forced. However, there’s something you might not know, your body has my spiritual essence again.”

“Like last time?”

“Yes, passed to you in the same way. Unfortunately, although I’ve deposited two strands of my essence in you, I’ve been unable to leave you a trace of anything in return.”

“……”

What are you implying? What do you want to leave behind?

Does saliva count?

“Cough.”

Lin Nuo cleared his throat, maintaining his composure.

“What if one day I also produce spiritual essence and transmit it to you? Is that acceptable?”

“That’s too complicated, and besides, you’re not like me; you can’t produce essence. Forcing it would only cause suffering. If you feel guilty about this and want to repay me, twin cultivation is just fine. That way, we both can improve.”

“……”

Improve my foot! By the time this is over, you’re the only one who’ll level up while I, Lin Nuo, get hurt. You might reach the seventh level, and I’ll be demoted to the first level.

If this gets out, the dogs in three neighboring villages would die laughing, and even the cats would be rolling on the ground.

“If it wasn’t for Ruo’er facing difficulties, I wouldn’t choose to twin cultivate with her. After all, it affects me to an extent. But since you’re talking about pampering, I can do what I can.”

Lin Nuo sighed softly and reached out his right hand to wrap around Liu Shuqin’s slim waist.

She felt as delicate as a willow branch; he could encircle her with one hand.

“Junior Brother…”

Liu Shuqin’s voice softened, letting go completely was still difficult. Though she wanted to be assertive, being drawn into Lin Nuo’s embrace made her shy all at once.

Lin Nuo resembled a wealthy man lounging in bed, holding a precious and charming young lady.

“Junior Brother, hold me a little tighter…”

“How tight are we talking…?”

“Tighter.”

Liu Shuqin blushed as she whispered, seemingly enjoying it whenever Lin Nuo touched a nerve.

Lin Nuo obliged her and tightened his grip just a little more.

“Tighter.”

Then Lin Nuo tightened his embrace again.

“Tighter.”

“No, that’s enough.”

“Tighter, please, just a little tighter.”

“……”

Lin Nuo exerted all his remaining strength to pull Liu Shuqin into his embrace. Her face turned deeper shades of red, becoming somewhat flushed.

Something felt off to Lin Nuo. Liu Shuqin was losing the demure grace she usually carried, as if she was awakening some strange trait.

Better to stop soon before things got out of hand.

But it seemed too late; Liu Shuqin’s face was now rosy, and there was a hint of breathlessness about her.

She seemed to find the man holding her filled with charm and attraction, yearning to keep him by her side.

“Junior Brother, I—I apologize.”

Liu Shuqin blurted this out, then couldn’t hold back her emotions, kissing Lin Nuo’s neck fiercely before peppering him with kisses, leaving deep imprints with each.

“Senior Sister, what are you doing?”

Lin Nuo sensed danger; Liu Shuqin had become completely unrestrained, kissing him with abandon.

He thought about making a run but found himself yanked back by Liu Shuqin.

Although he wasn’t as drained as before, he still lacked the strength to resist now that she had pulled him back.

Things were getting dire; Liu Shuqin was transforming more and more from her gentle, refined image into someone rather forceful, gradually leaning over Lin Nuo.

She was falling for this body, wanting to kiss it; before long, Lin Nuo’s chest, neck, and face were all marked by Liu Shuqin’s kisses.

He suddenly wished Ruo’er would hurry back.

No, would Ruo’er come back and join her in this debacle?

That would be disastrous. How could he possibly endure that?

“Lin the Hero! Lin the Hero! I just heard Ruo’er say you woke up!”

Suddenly, from outside came a familiar female voice. Ruo’er hadn’t even tightly closed the door; with a push, it swung wide open.

It was Luo Xiaoxue, who had not gone to sleep yet even at this late hour, wandering in the courtyard contemplating life. When she ran into Ruo’er and heard that Lin Nuo had awakened, she rushed over to his room.

Without waiting for Lin Nuo to respond, she flung the door open.

What she saw was a shocking scene.

In Lin Nuo’s bed, Liu Shuqin, dressed in a thin dress, had her straps slipped down, her dress disheveled—hardly the image of a proper lady. Even more shocking was Liu Shuqin pressing Lin Nuo down, kissing him repeatedly.

This was a blatant assault on Lin the Hero!

“Liu Shuqin, what are you doing?!”

Luo Xiaoxue gasped, rushing over to save Lin Nuo. There was no way she could allow this to continue!

Luo Xiaoxue forcefully pulled Liu Shuqin away. Liu Shuqin didn’t seem pleased with Luo Xiaoxue’s interruption and unleashed her spiritual energy to repel her.

Luo Xiaoxue noticed this aura and instinctively took a step back to avoid the impact, but she wouldn’t give up; she was determined to rescue Lin Nuo from this dire situation.

How dare Liu Shuqin act so indecently towards the future prince!

Fuming, she focused her own spiritual energy and prepared to combat Liu Shuqin. Unbeknownst to them, they began to duel, causing the entire bed to tremble uncontrollably.

Lin Nuo realized this was trouble; these two girls were really throwing down.

They needed to consider the situation; there was an injured patient lying in bed!

As their magical battle sparked chaos, the whole City Lord’s Mansion trembled slightly, waking the guards—led by Han Xiao—who rushed to the scene.

“Such powerful spiritual energy; there are intruders!”

Han Xiao hurried towards the commotion, thinking to herself how Princess Luo Xiaoxue had just gone to check on Lin the Hero, and in this mayhem, there must be intruders present.

She was stunned upon arrival; Luo Xiaoxue and Liu Shuqin were fighting, the bed had collapsed, and here was Lin Nuo, once lofty and mighty, now reduced to a mere tool being bickered over.

Only someone like him could cause the daughters of the Liu family and the princess to lose their composure!

“What’s going on between Miss Luo and Miss Liu?!”

As the general rushed in, Han Xiao quickly intervened, trying to prevent them from seeing the utterly disgraceful scene.

“Nothing at all, it’s a misunderstanding! They’re just practicing, everything’s fine!”
