Chapter 748: We Go In

Chapter 748: We Go In

Ling Meng fainted due to the explosion, but she was not in any life-threatening danger, just like Su Kexin—if it wasn’t fatal, she wouldn’t die, and she would recover and get up.

She just needed a little nap.

The environment of Demon Abyss Valley was much better than Tianling Mountain; the dark, gloomy surroundings, filled with Demon Qi, made it quite a livable place.

It’s just that there was no good food here, which was a bit of a letdown.

Lin Nuo was not in a hurry. The scent of red blood would attract Demon Beasts, but he had already lured them away with other blood and concealed the scent with a barrier.

He just waited, waited for Ling Meng to wake up.

Ling Meng was covered in blood—if it were an ordinary person, losing so much blood would probably get them a ticket straight to the underworld.

But then again, she was an explosive powerhouse from the demonic faction, terrifying indeed.

Lin Nuo noticed that her wounds were self-healing, healing very quickly, just like that.

The wounds could heal, but her shredded clothes couldn’t; they were in tatters, yet everything that needed covering was covered—really magical.

As her master, Lin Nuo decided to do something and threw his black cloak over her.

He walked over, took off his cloak, and just as he was about to toss it onto Ling Meng, her hand suddenly shot up and grabbed his hand.

What the heck?! Zombie resurrection?!

No, you’re not dead!

Lin Nuo was startled; wow, that really scared his soul, Ling Meng’s hand just shot up out of nowhere!

He didn’t dare to move, freezing in place, trying not to provoke Ling Meng’s murderous intent—otherwise, fighting her would be tough.

The grip began to loosen, and Lin Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, she only partly resurrected, not fully.

Lin Nuo didn’t move, just waiting for Ling Meng’s hand to slip off.

Sure enough, it soon slipped away; she probably still had a bit of a latent vigilance, realizing someone was there, and suddenly sprang into action, pointing.

Not a big problem.

Lin Nuo felt a bit careless this time and decided to keep his distance before tossing the cloak.

Okay, time to leave.

He slowly got up, not daring to move too quickly for fear of startling Ling Meng, but then it happened again—her hand grabbed his leg.

What the heck, not again?!

Lin Nuo did not move, but that hand didn’t loosen, gripping tightly. Then a pair of black magical hands appeared from Ling Meng and pulled Lin Nuo right to her.

Then she wrapped her arms around him tightly, so much so that Lin Nuo couldn’t break free at all.

Ah, come on…

This resurrection is a bit much; you could at least let me breathe!

Ling Meng clung to Lin Nuo with such strength, she seemed intent on merging into one with him.

Ling Meng had grown a bit too; her chest pressed against him, making it hard to breathe.

Having fought many battles, Lin Nuo had his own experience; he’d practiced a skill to shrink his body, just for moments like this.

With a quick flex, he slipped away in an instant.

Close call.

Ling Meng didn’t spring back to life; she just lay there, the magical hands receded.

Motionless.

It was like sleepwalking, and the key was that he didn’t know what she was thinking.

Lin Nuo kept a safe distance from Ling Meng and threw the cloak over her to cover her up.

Of course, he didn’t cover her head; she wasn’t dead, and there was no funeral music.

He found a nearby rock and sat down, quickly pulling out another Meat Floss Cake to calm his nerves.

He had intended to save a bit of cold water, but he finished it along the way.

The barrier outside was solid, sealed tight; it seemed they couldn’t escape.

Seemed like it.

After a while, Ling Meng finally woke up, realizing she was lying on the ground, covered with black clothing.

The cloak had a familiar scent, a smell that stirred her blood.

This is…?

Master?!

“Master! Master!”

Ling Meng sprang up, her voice loud, completely unlike someone who just fainted, looking very spirited.

Lin Nuo, with the Meat Floss Cake still near his mouth, froze.

Whoa, you really did resurrect. Wait, how did you know I was here? Did you open your eyes while unconscious?

“Don’t be so dramatic.”

Lin Nuo retorted, and then Ling Meng turned around and saw Lin Nuo.

Ah, it’s really Master! Master came to save me!

“Master, ah, I missed you so much, Master!”

Ling Meng ran toward Lin Nuo excitedly with open arms, wanting to hug him.

But Lin Nuo didn’t cooperate; he dodged, and she ended up hugging air.

“Ah, Master, you’re so cold…”

“If you’re hurt, don’t be so dramatic; just rest properly.”

Lin Nuo coldly replied, thinking if it weren’t for him practicing that skill to barely survive, she would’ve suffocated him with that hug.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

“Master, is this your cloak?”

Ling Meng sniffed the black cloak wrapped around her with great satisfaction.

“Yes. Your clothes are badly ripped. I don’t have any other clothes, so just make do with this.”

“Make do? It’s perfect!”

Ling Meng put on the cloak, now covered in Lin Nuo’s scent—so exciting.

She noticed the bloodied Demon Beasts nearby and proudly said, “These Demon Beasts must have been killed by Master; you really were watching over me from the shadows, ready to save me.”

“Don’t you remember?” Lin Nuo asked, “You were the one fighting those Demon Beasts.”

“There were too many Demon Beasts here, and they were ferocious. I could handle it at first, but I got exhausted and lost consciousness. I should have fainted. But now I feel much better; Master must have helped me recover.”

“Can you feel any pain? Your wounds.”

“Not really, Master is so talented, your medical skills are remarkable.”

Lin Nuo: “…”

So this explosive ability is astonishing, and even after the outburst, you get healing—such treatment is too good.

“Have one.”

Lin Nuo tossed a Meat Floss Cake to Ling Meng, who caught it and tossed it into her mouth, chewing happily.

So delicious.

Ling Meng suddenly realized the barrier outside was getting thicker; she understood this was a sealing barrier.

“Master, this barrier is sealing us in; we’re trapped.”

“Yes, we’re trapped.”

Lin Nuo said indifferently, even taking a bite of the Meat Floss Cake.

“Then Master, can we still get out?”

“We can get out.”

“Oh…”

Her tone was a bit disappointed; if they couldn’t get out, they might as well settle down here.

Demon Abyss Valley, well, cultivators could still live, it was like a wild forest; they could hunt and deal with a few magical creatures.

They could even raise magical beasts, building a little estate wouldn’t be bad.

Then they could build a house, and the two of them could have lots of children, making it lively.

Initially not fond of Demon Abyss Valley, thinking about it made the place seem quite charming.

“Master, are we going out now?”

“Not right now.”

“Then when?”

Ling Meng suddenly felt happy; the longer they stayed, the more time they got to spend together, that would be great.

“Do you know what’s deep inside Demon Abyss Valley?”

“I don’t know. A long time ago, no one dared to venture in; there’s no information about it.”

“We go in.”

“Go in? That’s really dangerous!”

“Are you scared?”

“A little…”

“Then stick close to me; nothing will happen.”

Lin Nuo said sternly, making Ling Meng feel very reliable.
