Chapter 687: Harmony Technique

Chapter 687: Harmony Technique

Lin Nuo felt the topic had shifted awkwardly—how did they end up discussing marriage?!

This Lin family wasn’t the same as that Lin family; he wasn’t bringing a prestigious girl out anymore.

Everyone seemed to think coming to the Lin family was like divided treasure, huh?

“Ahem…”

Lin Nuo quickly cleared his throat to halt the conversation before it took an even stranger turn.

“Let’s talk about your issue. You can say you’re in a rampage state now, but it’s not completely unchecked. Before, righteous cultivation suppressed the demonic path, but now it’s reversed, and there’s a chance it could devour you. I think you need to adjust.”

“I can’t adjust.”

“I can teach you how, come on, let’s try it.”

Lin Nuo sat cross-legged, palms open and facing Qin Shili.

“Focus, just find the balance point, and you can control it.”

Seeing this, Qin Shili also sat in the same position. Her delicate, pale skin wrapped in black silk was a visual feast indeed.

The two began palm-to-palm, just like when Qin Shili first cultivated the demonic technique. Once the internal energy was in order, they could balance the demon power and righteous power.

Since she couldn’t adjust from the root, he’d assist her, and Lin Nuo was quite confident in this method.

However, after a while of adjusting, there appeared an illusion of success. Lin Nuo pushed his energy, only to find a chill surging back toward him.

A shiver ran through him—cold, even making him shudder.

Wow, this chill was ruthless, striking back directly.

He struggled.

The energy adjustment stopped, and Lin Nuo collapsed, trembling, while Qin Shili rushed over to hold him tight, channeling her energy to warm him up.

“Are you okay?”

Seeing Lin Nuo still shivering, Qin Shili asked with concern.

“Yeah, I’m definitely fine.”

Lin Nuo was putting on a brave face; he couldn’t let such a small issue trouble him—how could he call himself her mentor?

But that chill was genuinely tormenting.

He fished out a spirit pill and popped it in his mouth, one for a boost, then adjusted his energy again. It was alright; he wasn’t freezing anymore.

“Let’s try again.”

The two resumed palm-to-palm again, continuing the earlier exercise of internal energy adjustment to help Qin Shili stabilize.

This time, there was no chill striking back, but the desired effect didn’t happen; Qin Shili remained exactly as she was.

“This is a bit tricky.”

Lin Nuo withdrew his hands, realizing this approach was futile; continuing would be a waste of time. If Han Fairy and the others came, they would all be cornered in this cave, leading to everyone’s doom.

He didn’t want to die like that; getting caught before meeting the protagonist would be too pathetic.

Was there a villain so weak?

“The magic power ignited by witchcraft is becoming increasingly potent; this adjustment can barely slow its acceleration but doesn’t suppress or weaken it.”

After the failure, Lin Nuo kept pondering, seeking a better method. He rummaged through the spirit tools he had brought, but none were of use.

He released his spiritual sense to observe the outside situation. The earlier interference on the spiritual energy field was weakening, which naturally raised Han Fairy and the others’ vigilance.

It was just a matter of time before they arrived; the first spiritual sense had already been discovered and even destroyed.

“Do you have any other methods?” Qin Shili asked.

“Not for now.”

“If there isn’t, and they come, we’re both in trouble. Of course, you could sacrifice me to save yourself and earn merit. If you do that, I’m willing to support you and won’t resist.”

Qin Shili had laid it all out—if all else failed, she’d be turning herself in.

Lin Nuo naturally couldn’t let her do that; if so, it would imply he was incompetent.

He could admit he couldn’t beat the protagonist but not that he couldn’t help Qin Shili.

Especially not in the realm of the demonic path; he wouldn’t accept failing there.

Actually, there was a method—one he hesitated to use.

But now, he had no choice.

Lin Nuo cleared his throat seriously:

“There’s a method, and I need your cooperation.”

“What method? I’ve always been cooperating with you.”

“The Right and Demon Technique. Uh… that kind of form…”

“Which kind?”

Qin Shili had some inkling and felt a bit excited.

“What do you think?” Lin Nuo countered.

“The Harmony Technique? Have you figured it out?” Qin Shili replied.

“There’s no other way…”

“Then hurry up.”

On mentioning this, Qin Shili became impatient, shedding her outer cloak to reveal a long and glamorous dress, her alluring black silk legs on full display.

“What do you prefer? Should I keep this on or take it all off? Or will you do it?”

“You should take it off yourself… whatever’s fine…”

“Alright. But if you want me to take yours off, if you’re cold, I can make it feel like spring here.”

Qin Shili waved her hand, and the cold cave instantly felt like it was touched by a warm spring breeze.

Lin Nuo thought, why not use that power sooner? It would save him some talismans; resources were tight—every little bit counted.

Qin Shili took off her outer dress, leaving her in thin, sexy black lingerie and her long legs wrapped in black silk, contrasting beautifully with her fair, delicate skin, creating a striking visual allure.

Lin Nuo was momentarily stunned—Qin Shili really went and shed her outerwear; that alluring black lingerie was too tempting, the curves of her soft figure were simply captivating.

While Lin Nuo hadn’t been as direct, he was still slowly lifting his clothing.

But Qin Shili grabbed his hand.

“I’ll do it; you don’t need to worry.”

“No, my clothes…”

“Don’t move, save your strength for later.”

Qin Shili was quick and decisive, effortlessly pulling off Lin Nuo’s outer shirt.

Then it came to his pants, and Lin Nuo desperately tried to hold onto them—this was his final dignity!

“Have you practiced the Harmony Technique before?” Lin Nuo asked.

“No.”

“Then if you haven’t practiced, how do you seem so skilled?”

“I haven’t practiced, but I’ve studied the materials; I just need the practice. Trust me, this step is correct.”

Qin Shili had a poker face, but inside she was bubbling with excitement; this was Lin Nuo saying he wanted to practice, and she had to be prepared for everything.

Lin Nuo kept holding onto his pants, while Qin Shili kept tugging, making him feel like a well-mannered boy about to be violated.

And who could have guessed that the one forcing him would be the once unreachable icy beauty whom many male cultivators, including him, once longed for?

It felt surreal.

As for what happened next, Qin Shili was too dominant; Lin Nuo lost the initiative and was first embraced, then overwhelmed, being tossed around like a rag doll.

But this session of practice produced some worthy effects; it was as if Qin Shili’s meridians had been opened, and she directly realized how to adjust the balance of her two powers. The ice and snow outside were starting to dissipate.

However, this was not final; it was still in an unstable state, and the receding ice and snow could return.

“It should be… okay now, right?”

Lin Nuo tried to back away, wanting to put his clothes back on.

“Not yet; it’s unstable. We need to try multiple times.”

Qin Shili said seriously, then looked at Lin Nuo.

“Will you…?” Lin Nuo felt a bit apprehensive.

“Please bear with me a little longer.”

With that, Qin Shili leaped onto Lin Nuo again.
