Chapter 773: Shut Her Mouth

Chapter 773: Shut Her Mouth

Lin Nuo: “?”

Something felt off. This female disciple is like a drug-sniffing dog; why is she sniffing me?

Did I spray perfume or something?

“What are you doing?”

“Master, your body has two distinct feminine scents, and it’s a bit fragrant.”

“……”

This fragrance, I mean, I’ve handled it a little, how can you still smell it?

Seriously, it’s like a little cow playing with firecrackers—what a big deal, you’ve got Ruo’er’s sense of smell now?

“Master, what’s going on? We just parted, how can there be two scents on you?”

Ling Meng leaned closer to Lin Nuo, staring at him intently, trying to glean something from his eyes.

With that question, those around must have sensed it: this fragrance belongs to the female cultivator, doesn’t it?

And who’s the other one?

Could it be another female cultivator? The one with silver-white long hair?

Oh boy, the King is really something; all these lovers, and now he can’t hide it from his disciple, being grilled in public.

Such a show.

The demon beasts, eager to watch the drama unfold, thought this was going to be a real spectacle of discord among these demon practitioners.

Lin Nuo wore a cold expression; there was no way anything could be discerned from him.

I can handle this.

“I ran into a female cultivator when I just got back and had a bit of contact with her, so I picked up her scent.”

“Is that so?”

Ling Meng sounded skeptical.

“Yes, but I fought her off and returned safely.”

“Mm… is that the case?”

“Yes, in such a short time, where would I find two women? And if I did, wouldn’t it make more sense to look for them during my free time? It’s currently chaos; how could I possibly go searching? Are you being overly sensitive? Ling Meng, let’s put it this way: I’m not particularly fond of having someone constantly suspicious of me around.”

Lin Nuo was quite shrewd, turning the tables from Ling Meng’s questioning to his own rebuttal.

You think you can judge my relationships based on a whiff of scent?

Sorry, there’s a bit of a connection, but I must deny it.

“No, Master, it’s just that I care too much about you… so, I might think…”

“As you say, if you have the scent of demon beasts, should I take that to mean you’re involved with them?”

“No… I lead them; being among them, I’d obviously pick up a bit of their scent. Master, your analogy seems a bit unfair.”

“What’s unreasonable about it? Do you find your argument reasonable?”

Lin Nuo shot back, countering Ling Meng’s points. If she wanted to come at him, he wouldn’t go easy on her.

This is how to handle a female disciple.

“If you keep jumping to conclusions, I’ll just ignore you.”

“Ah, don’t, Master! Alright, alright, it was my fault; I shouldn’t have doubted you. Please don’t be angry.”

Ling Meng quickly admitted her mistake and clung to Lin Nuo, like a dutiful girlfriend who misunderstood her boyfriend and hurried to appease him.

Of course, Lin Nuo was not angry at all; how could he be upset over this?

In fact, he had indeed been a bit close with the two girls—no denying that.

“I’m not angry. It’s good that you can admit your mistakes. Let’s just drop this; I’m not going to hold it against you.”

Lin Nuo said coolly, causing the demons to be greatly surprised.

As expected of the King; this maneuver completely reversed the situation.

Now, even Ling Meng has been made to submit, truly a man well-versed in keeping lovers.

“Master.”

Ling Meng lifted her head, gazing at Lin Nuo with tender eyes.

“What?”

Lin Nuo was still puzzled, when suddenly, Ling Meng leaned in and kissed him.

She completely disregarded all the demon beasts around, going straight for the kiss.

In an instant, all the demon beasts turned into loyal dogs.

A wave of dog food was served right there, filling everyone up.

Ling Meng did this, despite Lin Nuo’s earlier warning to be cautious; when love strikes, it’s情不自禁, and she just kissed him.

And then there was a new discovery.

Another scent! Still in her mouth!

Wait, if this is related to the female cultivator, how come there’s her fragrance in my mouth too?

This time, it was singular, but the mouth’s scent was different from the body’s, leaving Ling Meng unsure if it overlapped with one of the two from earlier.

It probably did overlap, considering the mouth was involved; the body definitely had it as well.

After the kiss, Ling Meng quickly pulled back.

Then, she looked at Lin Nuo with a sorrowful gaze.

Lin Nuo felt something was off.

Because typically, when a female disciple kissed, it wouldn’t last less than a few minutes, not to mention hugs, not letting go.

And now? No?

Unscientific.

There must be something behind this.

Could it be?

Uh-oh, he might have kissed Qin Shili earlier.

Could she have sensed that again?

Seems like it.

And here we go with more questioning, right?

“Master, your mouth…”

Before Ling Meng could finish, Lin Nuo took the initiative, cutting her off by kissing her directly, shutting her up.

【Ah…】

At this moment, Ling Meng completely forgot what just happened, her body ablaze with excitement, abandoning all thought of interrogating Lin Nuo.

Holding him tight, savoring the passionate kiss, relishing the sweetness of love.

It was rare for Master to be this proactive; she had to seize the moment.

Lin Nuo’s clever move truly relieved the tension.

But it also created another kind of pressure because, after kissing for too long, he almost couldn’t breathe.

……

Qin Shili, Xie Yu, and the others retreated, and upon their return, they found the scene devastating, many cultivators lost their lives.

The Refining Demon Sect had also withdrawn, leaving only corpses behind.

Truly tragic; the meteor-like bombardment earlier was shocking.

“Fellow disciples, Elders, they…”

Xie Yu was furious, utterly unable to accept the situation.

“If I had been there, I would have…!”

“Enough. In light of what just happened, you and I might have also been among the fallen. There’s no use in saying more now; let’s see if there are any survivors left.”

Qin Shili said, looking around for any living souls.

At that moment, Liu Shuqin appeared before them.

“Shili.”

“It’s you, Senior Sister! You stayed here to guard; how’s the situation?”

Qin Shili asked, but she could also connect some dots; during that meteor bombardment, Liu Shuqin must have been overwhelmed and likely saved by Lin Nuo.

So, Lin Nuo bore her light, subtle scent.

However, she didn’t mention it to him, as Lin Nuo might not have interacted with Liu Shuqin; otherwise, she might really be gone.

But it must be said, Lin Nuo was unusually considerate towards Liu Shuqin.

A twinge of jealousy stirred within her.

“The Refining Demon Sect has a destructive demon artifact attacking us; I lost consciousness at that time and am unaware of what happened afterward…”

Liu Shuqin concealed the events, hiding anything regarding Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo’s dealings with the demon beasts was something she couldn’t let her know.
