Chapter 794: Frank Words

Lin Nuo suddenly remembered there was still this person, Liu Shuqin, a woman who could have all sorts of strange dreams.

She was even capable of dreaming about her own death; who knows, she might dream about the falling of the Demon Star too.

If one were to label her a spy, that wouldn’t be unreasonable.

But no, under normal circumstances, she should have been reborn by now; she hadn’t even experienced the fall of the Demon Star.

Could it be that, due to her high virtues, upon dying she went to meet God, who then showed her the script and sent her back here with memories of it?

Absurd, illogical, shouldn’t be.

Could it be that she could predict the heavens and tell fortunes?

Now that would be against the heavens.

At first, Lin Nuo didn’t take this variable, Liu Shuqin, seriously, believing her to be an inconspicuous woman, lacking the explosive power of Su Kexin and the formidable strength of Qin Shili, not worth mentioning.

However, he had to start paying attention; this woman was quite different from what he anticipated.

With the Demon Star approaching, everything was arranged by fate, and he couldn’t let any troubles arise.

His plan relied on it; this sword had transformed into a Demon Sword because of it.

What can a mere Liu Shuqin do? He was overthinking.

Nonetheless, Lin Nuo decided he had to find out Liu Shuqin’s thoughts.

So, he removed his disguise and revealed himself as Lin Nuo in public, which had the advantage of not being suspected.

Who would have thought that this generation’s young hero would fall to become a Demon Practitioner?

Can you imagine that?

So blue!

Switching roles back and forth; now that’s the quality of a top-notch villain.

Now, Lin Nuo appeared on the city road near Ningzhou Peak, heading towards Liu Shuqin under the pretense of offering help while keeping an eye on her intentions.

Liu Shuqin was busy leading the people to evacuate, while also contemplating the matter regarding Lin Nuo.

She worried about him and pondered where he might be.

With the Demon Star coming, if she didn’t see him again…

“Lady Liu, your junior martial brother Lin Nuo is coming.”

At this moment, someone reported, and Liu Shuqin was instantly overjoyed; just as she was thinking about Lin Nuo, he arrived.

“Quick, introduce him!”

“Yes!”

Her subordinates hurried out, ushering the distinguished guest Lin Nuo in.

Lin Nuo approached leisurely, hands behind his back, occasionally glancing around, acting as if he were there to inspect.

“Junior Brother!”

Seeing Lin Nuo, Liu Shuqin became excited, rushing over and immediately opening her arms to embrace him.

A deep hug conveyed both longing and concern; having him by her side was more reassuring than anything else.

Lin Nuo was taken aback; really? They hadn’t seen each other for long—was a deep embrace really necessary right away?

He couldn’t shake the feeling that Liu Shuqin was heading in a strange direction.

Her subordinates, perceptive enough, noticed the intimacy between Liu Shuqin and Lin Nuo and respectfully retreated, not wanting to interrupt.

“Let go; don’t you have things to do? I’m just here for a quick inspection.”

“Junior Brother, come here.”

Liu Shuqin loosened her grip but tightly held Lin Nuo’s hand, pulling him aside.

What’s this all about?

Are you planning to lock me in a small dark room?

Surely not?

“What’s up? Spit it out,” Lin Nuo said.

“I still hope we’re not disturbed by outsiders.”

Quickly, Liu Shuqin led Lin Nuo aside and finally let go of his hand.

Her expression was serious, like she had something important to discuss; the atmosphere turned solemn.

“So, what’s the matter?”

“Junior Brother, the Demon Star is approaching, falling at Ningzhou Peak; you understand more than I do, right?”

“What Demon Star? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Lin Nuo pretended to be clueless; she was trying to pry something out of him, wasn’t she?

“Okay, you don’t know. Let me tell you. Soon, a Demon Star will fall from the sky right at Ningzhou Peak. What is Ningzhou Peak? It’s the water source for the nearby cities. If anything happens there, the civilians will be in danger too.”

“Where did you get this information? You’re not out on the street looking for fortune tellers, are you?”

“Not at all. I knew it already, Junior Brother. You aren’t supposed to be here, right?”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Nuo felt something was off; this woman’s words carried a deeper meaning.

Could it be she was also a reborn person? Or even a transmigrator? Did she recognize that he had double buffs of rebirth and transmigration?

“Junior Brother, we shouldn’t have so many barriers between us. I hope to be honest with you, and of course, the premise is I’ll tell you everything I know.”

With that, Liu Shuqin raised her hand; the silver ring on her ring finger shimmered with light.

“Junior Brother, you are someone who has returned to the past. You know everything that happens in the next four years. During those four years, you were the Demon Ruler who wreaked havoc across the land, right?”

“……?!”

Lin Nuo was stunned; this is what this woman would say?

Had she been possessed by a creator? Or had she seen the script?

Absurd.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Lin Nuo refused to accept it; no evidence meant nothing.

“Then just consider it my nonsense. Junior Brother, I’ve told you before about the dreams I had; you were framed, on the run, and eventually approached Ningzhou Peak. Those weren’t dreams but fragments of your memories. Now, they’ve been conveyed to me through this ring.”

“……?”

The amount of information was overwhelming, and Lin Nuo’s mind momentarily short-circuited.

What was this? How did she know all this?

Weren’t you dead?! Could it be your ghost is following me?!

Are you not letting me go even in death?

Looking at it from a materialist perspective, it shouldn’t be.

“You must be crazy, talking nonsense. I suggest you take a break.”

“Then, Junior Brother, would you like to listen to my craziness?”

“To cure your madness, I think I should hear what else you have to say.”

Of course, he had to listen; at least he needed to know what else this woman knew.

“Alright. Junior Brother, starting from the Wind Sea Forest, you’ve displayed astonishing strength. I expect that’s when you arrived. With the strength of a Demon Ruler, even with lower cultivation, no one on Tianling Mountain would be your match. However, you, originally a Demon Ruler, chose to be a hero instead, gaining fame both domestically and internationally. This, I still can’t figure out.”

Lin Nuo: “…”

You’re puzzled? I’m puzzled too; I’ve been a hero for a whole year.

“Let’s not talk about that. The falling of the Demon Star will mark the beginning of your corruption; your reason stems from being framed and pursued by your peers, forcing you down this path. But now, no one is pushing you into corruption. Actually, Junior Brother, you’re not a bad person. You still have choices; I know you want to be a hero, right? You don’t need to walk this path anymore.”

“I think I know where your madness lies. You’re insane for trying to impose your views on others.”

“Junior Brother, perhaps I don’t understand your pain, but…”

Liu Shuqin became serious and raised her voice,

“I do not wish for you to return to the wrong path. Clearly, you have a better future ahead.”
