Chapter 705: I Can Take You Back to the Qin Family

Lin Nuo lay there for a while, planning to get a good rest, but the third lady was making such a ruckus that he simply couldn’t catch a break.

His head was spinning with all the incessant chattering, and when they occasionally disagreed, it turned into a brawl, like Mars crashing into Earth!

During this time of lying low and recovering, he had no rights whatsoever; he was poked and prodded by the three young ladies, destined to become a mere plaything for women.

How shameful.

However, once he was feeling a bit better and capable of sneaking away, he managed to slip out, and they couldn’t find him.

But he didn’t just escape; he evaded Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin, took a detour, and ultimately had to seek out Qin Shili.

Of course, it wasn’t a reunion between old flames; he always had a purpose in his actions.

Now that Lin Nuo wasn’t around, Qin Shili would be anxious. After all, her dependency on Lin Nuo had grown increasingly intense, and she had never felt this uneasy before.

“Where on earth could he have gone?”

Qin Shili murmured softly, realizing she needed to find Lin Nuo’s whereabouts.

She sensed a gust of wind and turned her gaze, spotting Lin Nuo standing in a tree.

Seeing Lin Nuo again filled Qin Shili with excitement, though she kept it hidden, maintaining her usual frosty facade.

“Where have you been? Let me look for you; is it fun?”

“Nowhere special.”

Lin Nuo jumped down from the tree and walked towards Qin Shili.

“I need to talk to you about something.”

“Let’s talk later.”

Qin Shili grasped Lin Nuo’s hand and directly pulled him over, contemplating giving him a kiss.

Lin Nuo slightly tilted his head, dodging the kiss.

“What? Have you already grown weary of this old woman?” Qin Shili complained.

“You’re in your prime; where’s the old?”

“A woman who has been played with even once is already an old woman to you. You’re fickle and plan to leave me behind?”

“Is it really that serious? And besides, I’m not playing with you! According to the Harmony Technique, it’s supposed to be a strong man and a weak woman. Weren’t the roles reversed back then?” Lin Nuo retorted.

“That was because you grew tired of me and weren’t proactive.”

“Enough. This isn’t about being proactive. A guy can’t cultivate three rounds in a short time and still be hanging on to your beauty. Listen, I have something to tell you.”

“Then go ahead; I’m listening.”

Qin Shili wasn’t even looking at Lin Nuo, her head leaning against his collarbone as she began to sniff and kiss.

Lin Nuo’s body was too attractive to her; every kiss and touch stirred her heart.

“Could you… take it down a notch?”

Lin Nuo couldn’t finish his sentence as trying to have a serious talk while being touched and kissed was impossible.

Besides, shouldn’t the genders be reversed in this situation? A beautiful girl should be coy while the man is eagerly getting close?

“We’ve practiced the Harmony Technique together; is there any problem with this little matter?”

“Honestly, with a stunning girl like you, being intimate is a huge win for me. But let’s separate matters here—if we want to talk, we should talk properly. Also, stop touching me; if I were to touch you, would it feel good?”

“Of course. Where do you want to touch? Face? Chest? Waist? Legs? Or…?”

“Alright, alright. Let’s finish our talk first; time is tight, don’t waste it.”

“Okay, you said it—talk first, then we can mess around.”

Qin Shili let go of his hand, taking a few steps back to create some distance, arms crossed, her expression still as frosty as ever.

Lin Nuo let out a breath; he had been planning his escape. Despite Qin Shili’s seemingly cold demeanor, not touching the mortal world, she had a strong desire. Once she set her sights on something, she would be relentless.

And Lin Nuo was the man she deemed reliable, naturally driving her crazy.

“Are you going back to the Qin family?”

“I can go back, but I don’t plan to. Unless disaster strikes, I won’t return because there’s no you there.”

“What if I go back with you?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Are you planning to propose to me at the Qin family? Then I might go back. I know you’ve separated from the Lin Family and sunk to an ordinary family’s status, but it’s fine. The Qin family will accept you, and they won’t require you to come in through the back door. Our future children can bear the surname Lin.”

“Stop, stop.”

Lin Nuo hurriedly interrupted Qin Shili; where did that even come from? You’re already thinking about children?

Although it had been his dream once—when he first saw her, he even thought about naming their child…

What was it again? He forgot.

“Actually, having dual cultivation doesn’t necessarily mean we have to get married or have kids. In my hometown, countless cases exist of unmarried men cultivating with multiple women, and not all of them ended up marrying.”

“So, you plan to play with me and then toss me aside, right?”

Qin Shili’s icy words dripped with strong reproach and intense complaint towards Lin Nuo.

In fact, by the villain’s standards, it was reasonable to play with you and then discard you.

But this wasn’t just playing; it was to save her.

Lin Nuo calmly asked, “What’s your ultimate goal with the touch of the demon? To understand the demon path and then resist it, saving the masses?”

“Yes,” Qin Shili nodded.

Indeed, those cultivators who dabble in the demonic arts all held this view. Being adept at maneuvering between the righteous and demonic paths was the mark of a true master.

Lin Nuo chuckled coldly, “So, what if I’m a disaster for the world, opposing your goals? Would you still be willing to marry me?”

On the surface, it seemed like a joke, but Qin Shili didn’t feel it was absurd.

Those cold, indifferent eyes seemed to hide some untold story, icy words mixed with concealed thoughts.

Qin Shili paused for a moment, then softly opened her stunning lips: “You must have misunderstood. My goal is no different from yours. I believe that your mastery of the demon path is also for the sake of the common people. But if you become a disaster, then I’ll follow you regardless.”

“I don’t believe you’d follow me.”

“I initially couldn’t find meaning in my future. But your existence has given me direction; I believe following you is the right choice, and that’s enough.”

Though Qin Shili’s words were cold, they were sincere; it was her genuine feeling.

“Ha.”

Lin Nuo merely smiled, taking it as casual listening.

If you didn’t have a deep-seated grudge, and weren’t utterly despairing, how could you think of being a disaster for the world? Even the dog from the neighboring village wouldn’t believe it.

“If you truly could reach that level, marrying you wouldn’t be a problem. But the premise is that we both stay alive till the end. Your cousin, Qin Dao, is waiting for you at the Qin family; going back is like sending sheep into a tiger’s den,” Lin Nuo remarked.

“You wouldn’t let me walk right into the tiger’s mouth.”

“Of course not.”

Lin Nuo cackled coldly again, “We’ll take out that tiger and the pack of wolves and tigers it leads, all at once.”

Lin Nuo had a plan; although in this life he was always seen as some chivalrous hero, that didn’t mean he truly had the benevolence of a hero. He had suffered in the previous life, and in this one, he aimed to make them feel the same.

“The Qin family intends to set me up with Zhao Kuo from the Zhao family. The Zhao family has the Dong Wei organization backing them. But I’m not interested in Zhao Kuo. I can take you to the Qin family, but you need an additional identity,” Qin Shili said.

“What identity?”

“My fiancé. No, my husband.”
