Chapter 77. Don’t Disturb Me While I Rest

Chapter 77. Don’t Disturb Me While I Rest

“What?”

“I want to see your room,” Qin Shili repeated.

“Don’t you check the time? It’s late for a female disciple to visit a male disciple’s room!”

“Then can it be tomorrow?”

“No.”

Lin Nuo flatly rejected her; his room hid many precious secrets—certainly not a place for you, Qin Shili!

Women aren’t allowed in my villain territory, but the little loli Ruo’er can come; she’s been here often enough, so whatever.

“Brother, Brother…”

Su Kexin hesitantly murmured,

“I’ve been your junior sister for so long and never visited you personally… May I…”

“Absolutely not.”

“Um… okay…”

“So are you two planning to leave or not?”

Lin Nuo pressed forward; if he took a few more steps, he’d be entering the male disciple’s residential area, which would draw the attention of the sleepless male disciples watching the commotion, yet these two girls still hadn’t decided to leave.

“Senior Sister, you should head back first.”

“Junior Sister, you should go first.”

“Senior Sister, you leave first.”

“Junior Sister, you go first.”

……

Qin Shili and Su Kexin were stuck in a loop, arguing endlessly, refusing to give in to each other. Their voices echoed strangely in front of the large male disciple residence.

Lin Nuo was baffled; this development was completely at odds with his villain script. In the past, he might have pulled one of them into his room by now, but he was determined to see his villainous plot through. Women only slowed down his revolutionary progress.

“What are you doing?”

At that moment, Elder Yuan from the residence approached.

“Ladies, this is the male disciple residence. Why are you here so late?”

“Sorry, we didn’t mean to disturb,” Qin Shili said with a slight bow before turning to leave.

She’d still hold back in front of the elder; she wouldn’t dare get reckless.

“Ah, I… I’m sorry too for causing trouble!” Su Kexin, seeing Elder Yuan, quickly bowed and turned to leave as well.

Well, they believed they could confront the elder, but now they were sneaking off.

“Child, what’s going on?”

Elder Yuan turned his gaze to Lin Nuo and asked.

“Nothing, just taking a stroll.”

Lin Nuo finally relaxed, glad that he wasn’t being tangled up by these two young ladies. At this moment, he appreciated Elder Yuan; he was a real pro at diffusing tension.

“It’s late. Even if you’re walking, entering the male disciple’s area isn’t wise, lest you be the subject of gossip. Get some rest and rise early for cultivation, child.”

“Okay, sweet dreams, Elder.”

With that, Lin Nuo formally bowed and headed into the residence.

Just then, a group of male disciples watched him, whispering among themselves.

Lin Nuo could immediately tell what they were discussing; it was a classic harem protagonist scenario—bringing two lovely girls around, inciting a wave of envy, then letting the single guys gossip.

“Yeah, that’s him, Lin Nuo. Senior Sister Shili previously ignored him, and now it’s so sudden. What’s going on?”

“Could it be he has something on them and is forcing them?”

“Possible.”

“So jealous! Why doesn’t our sect have such treatment?”

……

Lin Nuo could still catch snippets of their low conversation, but he couldn’t be bothered. Tonight had been rocky; it was best to wash up and sleep.

“Hey, Lin Nuo, what’s going on with you and Senior Sister Shili and Junior Sister Kexin?”

One male disciple finally couldn’t hold back and approached him.

Lin Nuo shot him a glance.

“None of your business.”

With that, he turned and walked away toward his room.

The male disciple was furious. Is he really that arrogant?

As Lin Nuo opened his room door, he suddenly heard approaching footsteps.

“Master~”

Ruo’er walked up to Lin Nuo with a pillow in her arms.

“Master, I have an unrefusable request. Tonight, can I sleep with you… together…”

Ruo’er flushed, stammering. After taking a nap with Lin Nuo at noon, she felt great and wanted more. She thought, surely he wouldn’t refuse her; after all, she could be his little pet!

Excited at the thought of cuddling with her master again, Ruo’er felt a thrill.

Lin Nuo expressionlessly looked at the little loli Ruo’er, remaining silent.

He squatted down and picked Ruo’er up with both hands.

“Mm…”

Ruo’er’s heart raced; she was elated, thinking they’d cuddle and sleep again. Tonight was bound to be a good dream.

However, Lin Nuo turned her around and set her down. She now faced the door, and he placed his hands on her shoulders, gently nudging her a few steps forward.

Then she heard the sound of the door closing.

“Ah, Master?”

She noticed Lin Nuo had gone inside and closed the door behind him.

Not only that, he locked it three times.

……

The next day, Lin Nuo was summoned to meet Master Zhao of the Xuanyun Sect.

Master Zhao’s residence had a small courtyard filled with lush bamboo.

In front of the bamboo forest stood a stone table, where Zhao had prepared tea and snacks. Along with him was Lin Nuo’s master, Han Fairy.

“Hm? Master, you say the princess has been found?”

“Yes, the princess has been located, and she’s safe. The royal family has sent some gifts to thank you for your assistance.”
