Chapter 724: Haven’t You Eaten?
Suddenly, a loli pounced, burying herself in Lin Nuo’s arms. Luckily, she was small and delicate; if it had been a burly warrior, it would have been a bone-breaking scene right there—just thinking about it was terrifying.
If he remembered correctly, there shouldn’t be any white fox lolis in the male cultivator’s district right now; she was no longer part of the organization.
This moment made him feel like he was back in the past—had he been reborn to the days when Ruo’er hadn’t gone to Zifeng Valley?
No, judging from the way the cultivators looked at him when he returned, that wasn’t the case.
In the past, they looked at him like he was a fool.
“Why are you back?” Lin Nuo asked.
“Haha, because Dong Xiyan and the others came to Tianling Mountain, so I followed along~ Young Master, Ruo’er missed you so much~”
Ruo’er wiggled her ears and tail, the longing from not seeing Lin Nuo for a long time surged forth as she rubbed against his chest. Her silvery-white fox fur was as clean and smooth as ever—petting it was simply irresistible.
Pet the fox; a little more petting is healthier!
“It seems Dong Xiyan is really active, taking you everywhere and going out every few days.”
“Mm… it’s just because I miss the Young Master~ If it weren’t for missing you, I would have stayed in Zifeng Valley. Every time I go out, I’m hoping to bump into you. I was quite disappointed when I returned to Tianling Mountain and didn’t see you. But it’s okay, I found you now~”
Ruo’er hugged Lin Nuo tightly, sniffing his scent, her ears and tail wagging even more vigorously, thoroughly satisfied.
“Young Master, Young Master~ let’s sleep together~”
Ruo’er looked up with a beaming smile.
At this moment, the passing male cultivators cast odd looks at Ruoer’s words.
They whispered amongst themselves, questioning the morality of sleeping with your own maid during the day, especially when that maid was still so young—who knew what would happen during sleep? That would be really bad.
Such a tiny and adorable maid was certainly the envy of all.
“Come inside.”
Lin Nuo couldn’t stand their gazes any longer, so he dragged Ruo’er into the room and quickly shut the door.
Good, out of sight of that group, and that was much more comfortable.
“Young Master, I’ve tidied up the room for you; it’s clean and neat~ What do you think?”
“Not bad.”
“Oh, then since the Young Master must be very tired from running around outside, let me give you a massage~”
“That’s enough, no need.”
Lin Nuo knew Ruo’er was just wagging her tail, indicating she had plans. It was normal for servant girls to give their master a massage—just backs and legs for relaxation, everything in moderation.
But Ruo’er was anything but moderate at the moment. Last time when she did that, she got all excited and tried to kiss him, almost leading to another round of dual cultivation.
Don’t be fooled by her usually obedient and quiet demeanor—when she goes crazy, it’s hard to say what might happen.
Better keep her calm and not allow her any wild ideas right now.
“Mm… if we’re not doing a massage, then let’s sleep together. The bed is all set for you; it’s very clean~”
Ruo’er first patted Lin Nuo’s bed and then, without hesitation and very skillfully, climbed onto it, her little white feet tapping against the surface.
Such a behavior from a maid was indeed a bit brazen, but since Lin Nuo usually indulged her, she felt emboldened.
“If you’re tired, you can lie down and sleep. I’m not sleepy, I’ll have some tea first.”
“Tea? I’ll make it for you!”
Ruo’er quickly jumped off the bed and dashed outside to fetch a kettle of boiling water, tearing off a small chunk from a tea cake and putting it in the pot. After a skilled series of actions, she brewed a good cup of tea.
She personally handed it to Lin Nuo and even asked if he wanted her to feed him tea, taking care of him meticulously.
Of course, Lin Nuo wouldn’t let her feed him tea. He preferred to hold his own cup and savor his drink; there was no need for that sort of service.
What’s more, he had hands and feet—he didn’t need her help!
“Cough, cough.”
After finishing one cup, Ruo’er smartly poured him another without him even asking. This maid was fully trained, understanding his needs without a word.
Though Ruo’er seemed silly, she was extremely competent at her maid duties.
Having a maid to take care of you was great. Now that Ruo’er ran off to Zifeng Valley, those immortals were taking advantage of her!
“Hold on; first, let’s discuss how your studies are going.”
“Oh, okay!”
Ruo’er wiggled her ears and sat opposite Lin Nuo, her face beaming with a smile.
“Recently, Dong Xiyan taught me a lot of immortal techniques. I can now control mid-level heavenly beasts! I also learned healing techniques, concentration techniques, true essence shields, and swift wind techniques. The swift wind technique can’t compare to yours, but Ruo’er is trying her best. And then there are curse-breaking techniques and counter-detection techniques…”
Ruo’er listed a bunch of things; this little loli was indeed a natural at cultivation. Don’t be fooled by her silly demeanor; her progress was incredibly rapid.
For someone who started without any cultivation, to quickly step onto the immortal path and learn all sorts of techniques—she could be called a prodigy!
Though, sadly, this immortal fox would eventually become a devil fox.
“Good, very nice. I need to check out your luck now; come on, let’s head to the bed.”
“Okay, okay!”
Hearing they’d be going to bed, Ruo’er immediately got excited, her ears and tail wagging wildly.
She climbed onto the bed, repeatedly patting the surface, strongly demanding Lin Nuo to come up quickly.
Lin Nuo joined her on the bed, and Ruo’er immediately pounced, rubbing against him non-stop.
“Young Master, Young Master, we’re going to sleep together~”
“Sleep your head!”
Lin Nuo smacked Ruo’er’s head. This loli was thinking about sleeping already when he just wanted to check her breathing technique.
“Quickly, sit up straight. Let’s practice your breathing technique.”
“Is that dual cultivation?”
Ruo’er rubbed her head and pouted, asking.
“Just the breathing technique, not dual cultivation.”
“Then after the breathing technique, it’s dual cultivation? Practicing with me will definitely help you improve, Young Master.”
“Not doing it.”
With you improving your cultivation and then practicing with you, I’m afraid I’ll end up worse off!
Lin Nuo spread out his palms, and Ruo’er followed suit, then both of them slapped their palms together, starting to regulate their qi.
Lin Nuo could feel Ruo’er’s aura was stronger than before. She wasn’t kidding—her progress was astonishing, likely due to dual cultivation before. At this rate, she would soon become the backbone of Zifeng Valley.
That’s great—more improvement means she’ll get even stronger when she turns devil!
“Your aura can be even stronger.”
“Mm, okay.”
Ruo’er immediately increased her qi flow, her aura becoming even more intense, surging toward Lin Nuo through their palms.
“Even stronger.”
“Okay.”
Ruo’er boosted her energy again, but Lin Nuo continued;
“Even stronger, haven’t you eaten?”
“Mm, got it!”
With a surge of power, Ruo’er amplified her aura once more.
Bang!
Lin Nuo was knocked over by the rush of immortal energy.
