Chapter 592: Three Times a Day Is Not Enough
Dong Xiyan really speaks boldly; just moments ago, she was inside, and now she rushes out to suggest that Lin Nuo should do dual cultivation with Ruo’er again.
How is that even possible? If we go any further, there’s nothing left of him.
Ruo’er was a fine furnace for absorbing energy, but after cultivating together, her strength increased. Isn’t it clear that he is the real furnace here?
One must have self-awareness; aside from knowing he’s handsome and extraordinarily strong, he also recognizes he’s a furnace.
Otherwise, how could he be so convinced that double cultivation with Ruo’er would heal her? He must have deduced this.
If word got out that he was using his maid as a furnace, it would make the dogs laugh their tails off, and it would headline all the major news outlets in a hilarious way.
The energy Ruo’er stirred up could last quite a while; at least it wouldn’t wear off anytime soon.
Seeing the other girls opposing him, Ruo’er naturally wouldn’t back down and quickly defended her rights, leaning close to Lin Nuo and shouting in rebuttal:
“Young Master is doing this to save the people! You were all saying how you bear the world on your shoulders, and now you’re refuting it? It’s like you don’t care about the common people. My energy truly isn’t enough; in my opinion, even doing it again wouldn’t be sufficient. Three times a day wouldn’t be enough!”
Lin Nuo: “…”
Wait a minute, three times a day isn’t enough? Are you trying to wring me dry?
Liu Shuqin casually chimed in:
“Ruo’er, you can rest easy; your energy is ample. In fact, you could handle ten Huan Tian Cities. So there’s no need to trouble Junior Martial Brother.”
“Not enough, not enough! Totally insufficient! Ruo’er needs to dual cultivate with Young Master; it’s for the sake of all living beings!”
Ruo’er spoke with righteous fervor, claiming it was for the world’s welfare, but at her age, who really has such a strong sense of mission? She was just enjoying the thrill of dual cultivation.
Which, I must say, is far better than previous experiences.
“Saving all living beings? I can’t believe you said that, little pudding.”
Qin Shili immediately began mocking; after all, Ruo’er was her biggest competitor, and it was only natural to seize the chance to taunt her.
“You’ve just started on the immortal path and have barely completed any tasks. Besides, every dual cultivation comes with risks. Forcing this involves harm to Lin Nuo; if he gets hurt, that would be a loss for the world. How can you talk about saving all living beings?”
“Not a chance! Young Master is powerful; nothing will happen to him. After he dual cultivated with me, he even killed a god-level dragon! That shows it’s definitely beneficial!”
Ruo’er bickered back at Qin Shili, the little loli straining to raise her voice, refusing to back down.
They’re all trying to stop me from dual cultivating with Young Master—what a bunch of bad guys!
“Ruo’er, since your energy is enough, don’t trouble Senior Martial Brother any further; he’s quite busy.”
“Exactly! Lin Daxia only agreed to dual cultivate because you were in danger. Now that it has passed, there’s no need to bother him.”
Everyone started voicing their opinions about Ruo’er, making her anxious and tearful; these sisters don’t have good intentions, one after another.
“She’s my maid; don’t speak about her.”
Lin Nuo interjected, cutting off the ladies’ remarks.
With Lin Nuo’s words, the girls suddenly lost their confidence and didn’t dare to continue.
It seemed they lost; after all, Lin Nuo had personally defended her. Was her status in his heart really that important?
Ruo’er felt delighted; everyone was talking about her, and then Young Master spoke up to defend her—it was clear he cared for her. Everyone else was just a bunch of bad people.
Such a great Young Master; I must serve him for life! I need to hold on tightly and never let go.
“So, Young Master, does that mean you agree to dual cultivate with us again? When can we do it? Ruo’er is ready at any time!”
“Not happening.”
“Ah~?”
Ruo’er was dumbfounded; he just defended her, so why would he refuse to dual cultivate?
Oh, it must be because there are too many people here; he’s trying to confuse them first and then do it privately.
That must be it; this is just Young Master’s style!
Lin Nuo’s “not happening” relieved everyone; if things went further, it would have made them uncomfortable.
Clearly, it was against his will that he chose to dual cultivate; deep down, he still refused.
Lin Nuo coughed, adopting a leader-like tone, and said:
“Alright everyone, scatter. Go do what you need to do. Those who handle logistics, get back to logistics; those who save the people, go save them.”
He thought a trip to Huan Tian City was about enough for now and should get back before Mu Yiting starts to suspect something.
She might already be suspicious, especially after he had gone missing for so long.
“You should be heading back too.”
Lin Nuo patted Ruo’er on the head and said casually.
“Ah… we’re going back? I’ll miss Young Master…”
Ruo’er pouted, visibly reluctant.
“This is your matter; you should focus on your cultivation. Whether you go back or not is up to Dong Xiyan. Well then, it’s up to you. I’ve done what I needed to do, and I must take my leave.”
What he needed to do wasn’t saving Huan Tian City; it was about completing the main task of killing the princess, using a temporary mission to lead the rebels into the city, saving Ruo’er, and conveniently taking down that dragon, to prevent the Evil Bone Sect from thinking he was easy to bully.
“Then Young Master, where are you going…?” Ruo’er tugged at Lin Nuo’s sleeve.
“To the next stop.”
Lin Nuo casually replied, and then with a slight flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind surged, and he leaped over the wall of Liu’s residence, disappearing from sight.
Like a fleeting wind, he arrived swiftly and left just as quickly without taking a single cloud away.
Everyone was taken aback; Lin Nuo just left like that. Where was he going? No one knew; perhaps it was to the next troubled city, or maybe he was off to battle evil.
In short, he truly took the responsibility for the world as his own and was the savior of the people.
The group sighed collectively, not really bidding him farewell; Lin Nuo left just like that.
But then, who could restrain him? He came and went without a trace.
However, he suddenly jumped back from the wall, landing once more before Ruo’er and the others.
Ruo’er was over the moon; it seemed Young Master couldn’t bear to part with her after all.
Yet Lin Nuo awkwardly said to Ruo’er:
“Uh, the thing I left in your spirit pouch, can you give it back to me first…”
……
Lin Nuo finally left Huan Tian City, though there were hiccups along the way, he managed to accomplish the major task of assassinating the princess.
He needed to return to Helong Hall; after all, he had been gone for too long and had gone off the radar. He had to explain things to Mu Yiting when he returned, and then sneak back into Helong Hall’s inner circle to obtain the “Heaven’s Rainbow Secret Technique” and find clues about the “Demon Sealing Divine Method,” so he could merge both and truly destroy everything spiritually.
But before heading back to Helong Hall, he had to bring Qin Shili along.
After all, she was his old partner and an intelligence agent; he needed her to relay information to him.
Qin Shili still had a decent temper; being kept in the dark like this, she would have felt a bit better considering he also went to Huan Tian City, and besides, he wasn’t going there to perish alongside Ruo’er and Liu Shuqin—he was just lucky enough!
“Now you’re thinking of me?”
“I’ve always been thinking of you.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me you were going to Huan Tian City before?”
“Had to do it.”
“Yeah, with those two fluttering around, it was a must. You’ve even begun the Harmony Technique.”
