Chapter 68. Inhaling Plan

“Shh~!”

Zhao Yuedong quickly covered Su Kexin’s mouth with her hand,

“This is Zhi Shu Ge, don’t be so loud, really.”

Inside the Zhi Shu Ge, some disciples were reading, and just as a sudden female voice interrupted their thoughts, they returned to their books when it fell silent again.

“Let’s talk outside.”

Zhao Yuedong let go, pulling Su Kexin outside, initially intending to chat in a small corner, but she didn’t expect Kexin to react so strongly.

Outside Zhi Shu Ge, there was a pavilion where they walked over.

“Yuedong, what on earth is going on?”

Su Kexin asked anxiously,

“Is it that there aren’t enough seats in Zhi Shu Ge?”

“Do you think there are that many readers in Zhi Shu Ge?”

“Then maybe it’s just that Second Martial Sister and Senior Brother are used to sitting there, and it was a coincidence?”

“No, they have different usual spots. I’ve noticed, Lin Nuo sits in the eastern corner, and Shili sits in the western corner, which is quite far apart. And just now, Shili actively went to sit in the eastern corner, which is Lin Nuo’s spot.”

“Maybe…”

Su Kexin’s voice grew softer, losing her confidence and trembling slightly.

“Ah, stop ‘maybe’-ing. You’re just deceiving yourself! It’s already pretty obvious that Shili is paying attention to Lin Nuo. I never thought this would happen! In the past, everyone knew that Lin Nuo pursued her, but she ignored him. Now she’s started to pay attention to him. I told you, once Lin Nuo gradually shows his talents, more and more female cultivators will notice him. If they really fall for each other one day, you won’t stand a chance!”

“Ah, if Senior Brother has someone he likes, I shouldn’t interfere…”

“Look at you, what do you mean you shouldn’t interfere?”

Zhao Yuedong felt frustrated seeing Su Kexin acting so hopeless, tapping her on the head,

“Right now their relationship is still uncertain, and you’re giving up? Besides, no one even knows who Senior Brother’s crush is! Currently, he’s more concerned about you than Shili! Plus, Shili is so aloof; you’re way more proactive! You’ve got a chance! Trust me, you have good aptitude—seize the opportunity, and you can definitely do it!”

Zhao Yuedong’s hand rested on Su Kexin’s shoulder like a mental coach, encouraging her to step forward bravely.

Su Kexin clenched her fists, took a deep breath, constantly reminding herself:

Come on, Su Kexin, believe in yourself! You can do this! I will not lose to Second Martial Sister!

……

Lin Nuo returned to his room to meditate. After being out for a while, competing against the Dark Alliance and battling with the Zuan horse hunters, he figured his cultivation must have improved.

Let’s check the spirit tool and see if it works.

Alright, no improvement again; today is just another waste of time.

Lin Nuo tossed the spirit tool under his bed, thinking, if he didn’t check next time, he wouldn’t even know his level hasn’t improved—how nice.

No one understands leveling up better than me, Lin Nuo. Just pretend to be max-level.

Lin Nuo pulled out the pitch-black Black Scale Stone, which was his only find from his recent outing. He thought it had strict usage conditions and he hadn’t had a chance to use it yet.

But the opportunity would come soon. He recalled that inside Xuanyun Sect, there were alchemy classes taught by professional alchemists. Having many skills was always beneficial, as Xuanyun Sect encouraged disciples to develop in directions suitable for their own talents.

Alchemy requires a furnace, and the high temperatures are essential for making potions, and the alchemist needs to continuously inject spiritual energy.

He planned to toss the Black Scale Stone in and then run away; when the temperature rose, he could blast Su Kexin sky-high.

Solid.

Great, he already foresees a bright future; just fast forward to world destruction.

“Master, are you in there?”

Ruo’er knocked on the door, interrupting Lin Nuo’s thoughts.

“The door is open,” Lin Nuo replied.

“Oh.”

Ruo’er gently pushed the door open and then softly closed it,

“Hello, Master.”

“Hmm, what’s the matter?”

“Master, I’ve been feeling really cold lately. Could you help me adjust it?”

“Sure, come to bed.”

“Okay~”

Ruo’er excitedly climbed onto Lin Nuo’s bed, already used to it; as long as Lin Nuo permitted, she had no shyness at all.

“Sit over here, facing away from me.”

“Okay~”

Ruo’er obediently sat facing away from him.

Lin Nuo placed one hand on her back, starting to cast a spell to alleviate her chill.

After a bit of spellwork, some of Ruo’er’s cold energy was cleared away.

Suddenly, Lin Nuo remembered the two energy talismans he bought earlier—one black and one white. He got them when passing through a small town. The merchant said if one person sticks the black talisman and another sticks the white talisman, the black talisman can absorb the energy from the person with the white one. The speed of absorption depends on their distance; generally speaking, it’s best within a meter.

Lin Nuo felt it was necessary to absorb Ruo’er’s energy. If not, once the energy returned, his cultivation could go up.

“Your cold energy is indeed heavy; I can’t adjust it well in a short time.” Lin Nuo lied.

“Ah, Master, what should I do then?” Ruo’er sounded anxious.

“I have these two energy talismans that can completely clear your cold energy. Stick this on.”

Following Lin Nuo’s instructions, Ruo’er stuck on the white talisman, while Lin Nuo himself stuck on the black talisman.

“Master, what do we do next?”

“Lie down. We’ll just cuddle and take a nap together.”

Lin Nuo said, deadpan.
