Chapter 806: They Got Married, Huh?

Now, Lin Nuo and Liu Shuqin really do look like a couple; as the saying goes, “The husband sings, and the wife follows.” The virtuous Liu Shuqin naturally adheres to the three obediences and four virtues, obediently following behind, often addressing Lin Nuo as “husband.”

She’s gotten used to calling him that, “husband” on her lips, always carrying a parasol and handkerchief to shield her husband from the sun and wipe his sweat, caring for him in every possible way.

Even Ruo’er, the maid, hasn’t gone this far.

“Come on, it’s not that sunny, really.”

“No, husband. This bright sun can be harmful! Though you’re a strong man, you still need to pay attention to your skin care. You should stay shaded.”

Liu Shuqin clung to his arm, whispering to him, and Lin Nuo generally indulged her, only grumbling a bit.

As he said, walking on the street, no one noticed they had already touched upon the demon path.

Their stealth was still quite effective, vanishing just like that.

Of course, these were commoners who weren’t sensitive to nuances in aura.

“Ah. Isn’t that Miss Liu and Hero Lin?”

The vegetable vendor recognized them; after all, they were famous, so it was normal for someone to notice.

“Hello, boss. Could you help me weigh these cabbages? How much will it be? I’ll pay you.”

“Oh, you two celebrities are here! How could I charge you? These are all gifts for you! Come by often!”

The vendor was very polite, directly gifting them the vegetables and refusing to take any money.

This immediately caught the attention of other merchants. One vendor gave a gift, and soon many others followed suit, offering all kinds of vegetables, meat, and more.

Lin Nuo saw it was his favorite “getting things for free” moment. The fame effect kicked in, and he ended up with a pile of free stuff.

However, Liu Shuqin insisted on paying the vendors because she thought it wasn’t easy for everyone to do business and that they shouldn’t take advantage of such things.

Even though she was now somewhat demonic, her essence was still kind-hearted, and becoming demonic didn’t change that.

Besides, she hadn’t experienced what Lin Nuo went through: the ridicule, the deception, and the grim life of being pursued, so there was no reason for her character to tilt towards darkness.

“Husband, could you carry this for me?”

Liu Shuqin handed the purchased vegetables and meat to Lin Nuo, and her calling him “husband” sparked the curiosity of everyone around them.

Normally, Liu Shuqin would address Lin Nuo as “junior martial brother,” but with the change to “husband,” it raised a question:

Had they officially tied the knot?

“Miss Liu, have you and Hero Lin already gotten married?”

A nosy woman moved closer to inquire, and soon the crowd was buzzing, keen on the gossip.

Liu Shuqin didn’t hide it and responded directly:

“Yes, I’ve married my junior martial brother; he is now my husband.”

After saying that, she moved closer to Lin Nuo, and they appeared very affectionate.

“Wow! You actually got married!”

For the locals, this was big news! This cherished pair of heroes had now united in marriage.

A strong partnership, a blessing for the common folk!

“Great! You two are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple!”

“Indeed! Miss Liu cares for the people; Hero Lin has the world in his heart. The future will surely be peaceful and prosperous!”

…

The crowd erupted in cheers, then started suggesting gifts and pushing various items their way. Liu Shuqin couldn’t accept them all and quickly pulled Lin Nuo away.

“This is what happens when you speak carelessly,” Lin Nuo teased.

“I’m just stating the facts. Now that I am married to my husband, I didn’t say anything wrong; it’s just that the people are too enthusiastic.”

The two quickly escaped; otherwise, they would have been surrounded by these enthusiastic commoners.

“Alright, we’ve gathered quite a haul today. We can prepare a delicious meal when we get back.”

Liu Shuqin smiled with her eyes narrowed; this marital life was simple yet precious.

She envisioned preparing a delightful dish for Lin Nuo, and the two of them sitting at the same table, sharing a simple meal together.

Of course, it would be best if they could have a big family, with their parents and children around.

After all, the strongest bond between them would be their children, their flesh and blood.

However, Lin Nuo had intentionally avoided her getting pregnant during their dual cultivation phase. He believed a child would be a burden at present, making it difficult to care for them.

He was indeed someone who understood responsibility; having children was a serious matter, not just something one decides on a whim.

Naturally, she respected his decision, and she trusted that in the future, they would have children.

Let’s go, time to cook now. She wanted to be a good wife—doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of him were the basics, and then understanding what he wanted and supporting him were the priorities.

Hand in hand, they looked like a couple truly in love.

Their life was quite peaceful now; at least, the commoners hadn’t caught wind of their demonic status.

But who knows what the future holds? If word got out from the Xuanyun Sect, it could be troublesome.

Though the Xuanyun Sect would likely keep it under wraps, they said family shame shouldn’t be aired, and they’d hide it for as long as possible.

Of course, that was the general mindset of most people in the Xuanyun Sect, though there might be a few troublemakers among them.

As Lin Nuo and Liu Shuqin left the marketplace and headed home, their residence was near the mountains, away from the crowd, in a beautiful environment with water sources, perfect for growing vegetables and raising livestock—a real hidden gem.

However, they couldn’t stay there for too long. If Liu Shuqin wasn’t planning to return, she would need to be placed in a location suitable for demon practitioners.

And it couldn’t be the Refining Demon Sect; they needed to find Ling Meng.

Wasn’t there a batch of demon beasts and demon disciples? Let’s share some with Liu Shuqin. With her strength, they’d all respect her, though whether she could manage them is another story.

Now that she had turned demonic, Lin Nuo needed to think of a way to bring Ruo’er over.

But Ruo’er was still in Zifeng Valley, and he certainly couldn’t go there now. If he did, it would be like challenging the gods directly—a little too daring.

No worries; let those immortals continue training Ruo’er. One day, when she has the power to descend and save the world, she could come back as a fierce demon fox.

That would be quite entertaining, and it would likely drive those immortals mad!

On the way home, Lin Nuo sensed a surge of killing intent rapidly approaching.

It was coming!

In an instant, several sharp swords flew down from above, aimed at Lin Nuo and Liu Shuqin. Lin Nuo reacted quickly, hugging Liu Shuqin and dodging.

These spirit swords?

Lin Nuo took a look and recognized the familiar shining swords coming at them with great force.

Could it be… the Sword Saint?

Soon, the figure of the Sword Saint emerged, surrounded by numerous flying spirit swords.

Drama and flair followed him as the swords sparkled.

“Is that… the Sword Saint elder…?”

Liu Shuqin recognized him as well and instantly felt they were in trouble.

The Sword Saint waved his hand, and immediately the swords began to encircle Lin Nuo and Liu Shuqin.

“Is there something you need?” Lin Nuo asked, annoyed.

“Your power seems to have increased,” the Sword Saint remarked.

“So?”

“So, can you become strong enough to protect your woman? I must admit, I’m curious to see.”

The Sword Saint’s blade was aimed at Liu Shuqin.
