Chapter 61. While Cultivating, Just Crashed

Thanks for the invitation. I’m currently cultivating and just crashed.

Lin Nuo was carrying Luo Xiaoxue as an aerial acrobat. Suddenly, they were in freefall, thinking it was the end. Fortunately, he summoned his spirit sword in time to catch them; otherwise, it would have been an early death.

Lin Nuo stabilized his body on the sword and began to descend slowly.

Phew, that was close.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, experiencing a rollercoaster fall from a great height for the first time. Back when he was the world-ending villain, he never felt this majestic, though he might have nightmares after this.

Luo Xiaoxue clung tightly to him, her eyes squeezed shut.

Lin Nuo felt a swell of anger; how could such a timid girl possess such incredible talent? That Su fellow was no better; he couldn’t handle flying with a passenger either. Just a pure and simple person, yet he had a bloodline buff that let him level up every time he exploded. Truly a sight to behold!

People couldn’t be generalized; being angry was futile.

As the spirit sword gently descended, Luo Xiaoxue no longer felt the dizzying freefall and was somewhat reassured.

“Lin Gongzi, where are we now?”

“Just take a look for yourself.”

“Um… I-I’m too scared…”

Luo Xiaoxue was afraid of heights; she had briefly opened her eyes to look down before they fell, and just thinking about it terrified her. She didn’t want to experience that again.

“Then forget it.”

Lin Nuo didn’t comfort her, nor did he tell her the situation. She could look or not; it was up to her. Just wait on the spirit sword until they landed, and then they could go their separate ways—her sunny path and his solitary bridge.

“Hmm…”

Luo Xiaoxue continued to bury her head in Lin Nuo’s back, feeling quite conflicted. She was afraid of heights, scared to look down from high places, yet also curious about her situation and what had just happened.

Besides, she was a princess of the Puhan Dynasty; she couldn’t keep submissively hiding behind a stranger, no matter how reliable he seemed.

In fact, she wanted to overcome her fear of heights, continuously persuading herself to take a peek. It’d be fine; with Lin Gongzi around, she wouldn’t fall.

She slightly raised her head, opened her eyes, and confirmed they were still in the air. Would she see the endless rolling mountains again? Every time she saw the dense layout of nature, her heart raced.

She made an effort to try looking down, even if it scared her; she wanted to persist a bit longer. She had to take the first step—she couldn’t stagnate!

Peering below, she saw the continuous mountains, but this time it was completely different.

The mountains were adorned with vibrant blossoms, transforming them into a colorful tapestry. It was no longer a monotonous landscape but a beautiful painting of nature.

She loved flowers, loved to embrace nature during springtime, getting lost in a world filled with blossoms.

It was her first time experiencing the view from such heights, and she hadn’t expected it to be so beautiful.

The picturesque landscape was moving and magnifying; she knew they were landing.

Unconsciously, she gazed at this mountain scene for a long while, feeling calm and unshaken.

Incredible! This truly was a first.

What was Lin Gongzi doing?

She noticed Lin Nuo gazing into the distance, standing on his long sword as they slowly descended.

A gentle breeze lifted her hair, and the boy in front still gazed ahead, his focused expression full of vigor.

She had seen high-level cultivators ride swords through the clouds, graceful as the wind. The principles of Dao, chivalry, virtue, and morality—cultivators held these beliefs; because of them, the world was safe, and more people aspired to justice, believing in light.

Lin Gongzi should be one such noble cultivator, despite his cold demeanor; his principles and virtues were evident in his actions. Dressed simply, he didn’t look like a cultivator. Yet, when faced with darkness, he fearlessly rescued her from danger.

Traveling the world with a sword—she had often fantasized about it, hand in hand with her beloved, exploring every corner of the land, just like now, seeing the place they called home.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Though her encounter had been dangerous, it had gifted her with extraordinary experiences, which was also a kind of luck, wasn’t it?

After a while, they flew over the mountains, and the spirit sword gently landed before a city. The guards at the city gate noticed Lin Nuo descending from the sky and rushed towards them.

Lin Nuo crouched slightly. Luo Xiaoxue understood and quickly got down.

“Thank you, Lin Gongzi.”

Luo Xiaoxue respectfully bowed to show her respect to Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo calmly replied, “This is Huang City. You’re safe now; go home with those officials. I must take my leave.”

“Lin Gongzi, may I ask where your home is?”

“Not for you to know.”

“Um… Sorry, that was rude of me…” Luo Xiaoxue lowered her voice, “Lin Gongzi, will we meet again?”

“Best if we don’t.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Nuo stepped onto the spirit sword, whoosh! He soared high into the sky and vanished.

That graceful figure and silhouette lingered in Luo Xiaoxue’s mind, hard to forget.

So cool and effortless—such was the aura of a cultivator.

“Your Highness!”

The guards hurried over.
