Chapter 876: The Capital

Chapter 876: The Capital

Mu Yiting was already skilled in the art of seduction, with her acting abilities perfectly on point, she could manage all sorts of character types.

She possessed a devilishly attractive figure, and now, after demonization, she had become even more enchanting, like a beautiful disaster from the mortal realm. And there she was, making seductive gestures, luring Lin Nuo closer.

However, Lin Nuo was immune to such alluring temptations. If she truly wanted to entice him, she might as well use a bottle of authentic Kuhan Water instead.

After all, he’d already experienced the company of other stunning, celestial beauties—how could mere allure hold any power over him?

“Alright, when I need you to serve, I’ll let you know. There will be chances later.”

“When later? You have to give me some kind of answer, I can’t hold it in any longer. Don’t you wish to taste my body? Perhaps you might discover even more flavors of Kuhan Water from this body of mine!”

Mu Yiting’s little tongue flicked over her lips, continuing her seductive display while her disheveled outfit revealed her fair skin and enticing collarbone—an incredibly tempting sight.

Honestly, Lin Nuo was only interested in the taste of Kuhan Water. He had to admit, Mu Yiting’s saliva was quite thrilling, and now that she was demonized, it was even more so.

It seemed like there would be even more delicious Kuhan Water in the future, truly addictive.

“Tasting is a must. But you’re acting too strangely right now. Once you’re feeling better, I’ll give it a try. You need to prepare several bottles of Kuhan Water for me to enjoy. Got it?”

Lin Nuo said blandly, while Mu Yiting bit her lip, showing slight displeasure.

Indeed, being treated so coldly by Lin Nuo would make her upset. He even had the audacity to ask her to make Kuhan Water without offering her any rewards.

How infuriating.

One of these days, she’d seize his chastity.

“Fine. I’m willing to be at your beck and call. But I still suggest you let me taste some sweet rewards when you summon me. A person working tirelessly has no motivation.”

“What kind of sweet reward do you want?”

“You need to make love to me.”

“…Stop right there. It’s not the right time. You’re acting too strangely; once you calm down, you won’t have such thoughts.”

Lin Nuo was left speechless; Mu Yiting was incredibly direct, suggesting that another man take her in front of him.

Can’t you be a little more normal? Is it the demonization that has stirred up your desires?

“Now that you’re demonized, you have the power to control this demonic force. It just requires some time to adapt. I have some beginner-level demonic cultivation techniques you can learn. Please study them diligently.”

“My comprehension is poor. I need you to teach me step by step.”

Mu Yiting continued to wear her seductive smile, her words laced with allure and softness.

Yes, she could switch between various roles effortlessly, and even handle two roles at once. A true veteran.

“You can enlighten yourself. I believe in you. No step-by-step teaching is necessary.”

“I can’t.” Mu Yiting insisted, like a delicate woman in need of her beloved prince’s assistance.

“If you can’t, then don’t practice. I can’t be following you around all the time.”

Lin Nuo continued to reject her pleas, if he taught her step by step now, she’d just pounce on him again later.

Do I, Lin, a villain, have no pride?

Honestly, if it came down to a showdown with her, he probably wouldn’t stand a chance, especially since he couldn’t even defeat Li Ruo’er, let alone this demonized woman.

He really needed to seek ways to strengthen himself; otherwise, with so many ladies around, he couldn’t keep up!

“Alright, since that’s the case, you should continue leading your team and get back to your duties. Focus on mastering the demonic arts on your own.”

“How can I focus without you?”

“Enough of that, let’s go. And also, fix your clothes before stepping outside—looking disheveled is highly inappropriate.”

“Can I take this to mean you’re worried about me? Worried that others might see me?”

“You can interpret it that way.”

“Then why don’t you just fix my clothes for me? Whatever image you want me to have, I will embody.”

Every word from Mu Yiting dripped with seduction, desperately trying to lure Lin Nuo closer.

Of course, she still failed to succeed.

“Sort yourself out. Just the way you were before, alright? Don’t think I’ll come over to help.”

Lin Nuo said coldly, leaving Mu Yiting with no choice but to follow his instructions, quickly adjusting her clothing back to her previous state.

“You, really! I’ve offered you my affection, yet you won’t act. Do you not like me? Or are you just not interested in women?”

“I do like women. But it’s just not the right time, alright? Let’s go.”

With that, Lin Nuo turned around and casually walked away.

Mu Yiting had no choice but to follow him, reverting to her previous leaderly demeanor.

…

Lin Nuo’s mother, Xia Hanmo, made a trip to the capital.

Having established a farm, she aimed to grow some environmentally-friendly vegetables while also providing employment for the destitute locals.

Her working conditions were excellent, ensuring that no one was exploited; she earned very little profit, mainly engaging in charitable work. The workers willingly followed her.

She aspired to expand the farm, providing a refuge for even more suffering people. However, she couldn’t do it alone; she needed a partner.

Naturally, this partner couldn’t be one of those unscrupulous bosses who exploited the common folks but must share her vision and ideals.

Fortunately, there was someone in the capital she had met long ago, a good person who was eager to serve the people. Xia Hanmo intended to personally go to the capital to invite him to collaborate, demonstrating her sincerity.

The journey went quite smoothly; Xia Hanmo’s family, the Xia family, was located in the capital as well, though they were just a small clan, hardly noticeable among the numerous affluent families.

After leaving the Lin family, the Xia family hoped for Xia Hanmo’s return, but Lin Nuo proposed she leave such family backgrounds behind, living a simpler life, prompting her to withdraw to a small town.

However, Xia Hanmo felt too idle; her son labored for the common people, and she couldn’t just sit around, so she gradually established the farm to contribute her share.

Upon reaching the capital, the Xia family was set to welcome her, escorting her to meet potential partners.

Everything initially went quite well; she encountered no obstacles on her way into the capital.

“Madam, you’ve arrived! We’ve come to escort you, per Master’s orders.”

It was Xia Hanmo’s brother, Xia Lü’s servant, eager to welcome his sister to the capital.

“Mm, alright, thank you for your trouble.”

Xia Hanmo responded politely, following them to the Xia family before seeking out her business partner.

However, on the streets of the capital, she ran into some people she really didn’t want to see.

The Lin family—her former in-laws—had also arrived in the capital.
