Chapter 774: I Am Wu Fanpai
Qin Shili and the others were still able to find the Elders and regroup with them.
They had exerted all their efforts to take the surviving disciples away, but now they were severely injured and needed to rest.
“Shuqin, you’re okay! That’s wonderful. We were so worried about you. It’s our fault for not being able to protect you from that suspicious man. Sigh.”
“It’s fine, Elder. I’m just glad to be back. As for the sacrificed junior brothers and sisters, as their senior sister, I feel I failed to protect them well… How are you all now? Let me treat your injuries.”
Liu Shuqin quickly went to tend to others’ wounds with great enthusiasm.
“Taken away by a suspicious man?”
Qin Shili asked, already having some clues about who that person might be, but the process remained unclear.
“Yes, at that time, a suspicious man came over. He was leading a group of demon beasts. We wanted to stop him, but after exhausting ourselves earlier, we were no match for him. Then Shuqin was taken away. I regret it deeply. Shuqin, do you know what happened after you were taken?”
“I’m not sure. I passed out at that moment. When I woke up, I found myself lying in an unfamiliar place, and later I ran into Shili and the others.”
Liu Shuqin replied, choosing to keep quiet about whatever she didn’t want to say, just mentioning that she fainted.
Elder Zhou said with concern:
“Shuqin, what about your body… is there anything wrong? I saw that the opponent was a man with ill intentions…”
Elder Zhou hesitated to say more, leaving some things unspoken.
What remained unspoken was likely that the man might have violated her, after all, for a beautiful girl like Liu Shuqin, it was possible that he had wicked thoughts.
“No, Elder, I’m perfectly fine. Nothing happened.”
Liu Shuqin replied with a light laugh, in fact catching on to Elder Zhou’s meaning.
She secretly hoped that the man had indeed violated her, preferably leading to pregnancy, as that would create a bond with Lin Nuo.
The best bond would be a child, meaning a mix of their bloodlines.
Qin Shili also understood what was implied, pondering that Liu Shuqin wasn’t at the level of being violated by Lin Nuo; it was more like her taking the initiative with Lin Nuo.
So, Lin Nuo must have come bravely to save her amid the bombardment of the demonic artifacts?
How enviable!
“Right, Senior Sister, you should also take care of yourself. There are many unsavory men nowadays.”
“Thanks for the reminder, Shili. In comparison, you are in a better position than I am and should also take care of yourself.”
On the surface, they expressed concern, but beneath that, it was merely a superficial sisterhood.
How could it not be superficial when competing for the affection of the same junior brother?
The matter of the demon artifacts from the Refining Demon Sect could alarm the Xuanyun Sect, leading to the deaths of many disciples, which severely undermined Xuanyun Sect’s morale. The Refining Demon Sect might become even more rampant.
Next, they would need to enter a state of tense preparation for battle; if the Refining Demon Sect gained strength, the common folk would likely face disaster.
Qin Shili and Liu Shuqin didn’t want to leave yet, as Lin Nuo was here. If they left, it would be difficult to find him again.
But under the Elder’s orders, everyone was to evacuate as quickly as possible; the demon beasts escaping from Demon Abyss Valley was a major issue that needed to be reported back to the Sect Leader.
……
Lin Nuo and Ling Meng led a group of demon beast subordinates to their new forest to manage this batch of demon beast troops.
The Refining Demon Sect was also beginning to intercept them, but the demon beasts advanced rapidly, being survivors from the malicious forest, all quite capable fighters.
Clearly, the Refining Demon Sect couldn’t stop their escape; this uprising of demon beasts from Demon Abyss Valley was for their tribe and for freedom, and it was successful.
They quickly marched into the new forest, swiftly occupying it and then setting up defenses to prevent outsiders from coming.
Now they were set, having claimed the new land as their mountain king.
Wonderful! As an excellent villain, they had already formed an exceptional villainous army. This progress was much faster than in the previous life, where they started with a struggle for survival, having no time for such arrangements.
Ling Meng was particularly excited and thrilled, as if she had established a new home with Lin Nuo, dreaming of making it a long-term residence and building her own family, the Demon Path Wu family.
To build a family, wouldn’t that mean passing on the family line?
Passing on the family line? That meant starting a family and having children with the Master!
How many should they have? Definitely as many as possible, after all, with her and her Master’s bloodlines combined, their descendants would surely be demon path prodigies.
“What are you thinking about?”
Lin Nuo waved a hand in front of Ling Meng, interrupting her thoughts.
“Master, how many children do you plan to have?”
“What?!”
Lin Nuo was taken aback, incredulous. What was this female disciple imagining now?
“What are you thinking about?”
“Master, I was thinking… when we start a family, how many children do you want? Do you prefer girls or boys?”
“You’re thinking way too far ahead.”
Lin Nuo tapped Ling Meng’s head lightly. How could this disciple, who was supposed to be Su Kexin from the villainous side, lack ambition? She needed to think bigger, not be so small-minded.
“Your father has been located, he’s been sent to the front lines, and he’s in dire straits.”
“Ah! Finally, there’s news about Dad. Then, Master, let’s go rescue him now!”
“Yes, we must save him. Also, I asked the demon disciples following us, and many of them are dissatisfied with the Chen family, feeling wronged and exiled. Your power just suffered a setback, so you can gather these demon disciples and rebuild your own force.”
“Mm-hmm. Master, you think things through so well. Following you, the future looks bright.”
“Don’t get too ahead of yourself. A bright future assumes there’s a future. Who knows what might happen next, whether we’ll survive? We need to get to the front lines; saving people is different from fighting. In a fight, you can charge in directly, but saving someone involves caring for the person; if they perish, the task fails, and it’s meaningless.”
Lin Nuo said earnestly, this villain had only known how to kill before, now he was considering saving others.
“Yes, yes, yes. I will follow Master’s words.”
“Good. Just the two of us will set out and reclaim our identities from back in the day.”
“Is it Wu Ying Ge and Wu Dong Mian? Master, your name is already known.”
“Then I’ll be Wu Fanpai, and you can continue being Wu Dong Mian. We need to sneak to the front lines to rescue your father while also gathering any demon disciples we can recruit.”
“What about these demon beasts?”
“They will adjust themselves. It’s fine, they are strong and won’t be a problem.”
Lin Nuo had intended to leave Ling Meng behind to supervise the demon beasts but thought about it; this place was more dangerous than Demon Abyss Valley. If the Sword Saint showed up here, Ling Meng would be in trouble.
So, having Ling Meng stay by his side was safer, providing some protection, so it was not a big issue.
Thus, the two of them set out, disguising themselves as they headed to the front lines of the Refining Demon Sect.
With great skill comes great boldness; now there was a manhunt for Ling Meng, yet Lin Nuo still dared to bring her along.
According to the storyline, Ling Meng wouldn’t perish unless she encountered the Sword Saint; Refining Demon Sect was hardly a threat.
Oh, and there was also Ah Su.
That protagonist, if he encountered them, he would definitely meet his demise.
