Chapter 889: What About Your Bomb?

Chapter 889: What About Your Bomb?

After a thunderous explosion, there followed a sea of flames, and then the Phoenix with its wings spread wide, sheltering them gently, not at all scorching.

This pair of Phoenixes really came through in a crisis.

However, only in this moment of danger. Once they dodged this calamity, they returned to their usual playful antics. Seizing the opportunity, the male Phoenix took off immediately, while the female was a beat slower, snapping back to reality only to find her partner already pulling away.

But she didn’t just stand there in a daze; she quickly gave chase, and soon, the two divine beasts were soaring through the skies, creating a spectacular sight.

Lin Nuo, however, was too lazy to bother with it.

As long as Xia Hanmo was safe, that was all that mattered.

“Nu’er, are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?”

“Enough already, stop worrying about me. You should check on yourself. You’re just a mortal body; did you get hurt? I’ll heal you.”

“No, I’m fine, really. But I was so worried about you, I thought I might never see you again…”

At this point, tears began to well in Xia Hanmo’s eyes, her emotions teetering on the edge of a breakdown.

“Hey, I’m right here, aren’t I? No need to be all teary-eyed.”

Lin Nuo rarely initiated hugs, but since it was his mother, giving her a comforting embrace was no big deal.

What about that Su father-daughter duo? Were they done for?

Lin Nuo turned his gaze and was relieved to see they were also alright, with Su Kexin gradually returning to her normal self.

“Senior Martial Brother, Dad…”

Su Kexin spoke softly, regaining her usual voice and tone, no longer as cold as before; she still retained her charming allure.

“Kexin, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Do you remember what just happened?”

Su Lingjiang quickly asked, concerned about his precious daughter. He couldn’t afford any mishaps.

“Just now… hmm…”

Su Kexin held her head, trying to recall the events. Slowly, images began to materialize in her mind.

“It’s just that I encountered some Demon Practitioners… then they tried to kill me, using sharp blades to stab me… after that, my memories get a bit fuzzy, but I vaguely remember wanting to protect Auntie, even if it meant risking everything… then I think I gained some power… and killed the Demon Practitioners… after that, seeing Senior Martial Brother made me so excited… uh… unable to restrain my feelings, I just wanted to get close to you…”

Su Kexin wasn’t completely unaware; she did have some memories, but it wasn’t something she could fully control.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo felt something was off.

You had awareness?

Wait, have you evolved to this extent already?

According to the storyline, you weren’t supposed to reach this stage yet, at least not until much later.

Did you skip ahead?!

That makes it complicated; she gained a new skill where she is aware during explosive states.

This was incredibly frightening.

With awareness, she could learn to handle the explosive power, eventually reaching a point where she could self-initiate the outburst.

Very terrifying.

“You know what you just did?”

Lin Nuo questioned, and Su Kexin nodded repeatedly as she began to approach him.

Instinctively, Lin Nuo stepped back, holding Xia Hanmo to keep her away from Su Kexin.

“Senior Martial Brother, you’re not scared of me, are you?”

“Just say what you need to say. Don’t come closer; I can’t let my mother get hurt.”

“Um… I didn’t mean to! Besides, I didn’t hurt your mother; I protected her… Senior Martial Brother, you’re being unfair to me…”

Su Kexin pouted, looking a bit wronged. This kind of act didn’t work on Lin Nuo; she might appear outwardly harmless, but once she turned fierce, it would be in an instant.

But it was true she protected Xia Hanmo; her Spirit Technique was indeed solid.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix continued its carefree flight; as the sword master, Lin Nuo and Su Kexin let them enjoy their freedom.

This Phoenix pair was undeniable, and Lin Nuo considered his sword contained a Dragon Soul, not a Dao Companion sword—probably just a lonely dragon.

Great! Being single is fantastic; who needs a partner?

“First, answer my question— you remember, right? You know what you were doing?”

“I do, but it seems like I can’t fully control it; there’s a force pushing me to act. Senior Martial Brother, you’re well-informed; you should know what’s going on, right?”

“You’re at the advanced stage; I suggest you take the easy way out, or you’ll endanger the world.”

“Ah?! No way, I’d never do that… Why is this happening… I didn’t do anything wrong; am I cursed? What went wrong?!”

Upon hearing Lin Nuo’s words, Su Kexin panicked. This was terrible news; she had good intentions, and now she risks harming people for no reason!

Doesn’t that go against Senior Martial Brother’s principles? Doesn’t that mean she’d become his enemy?!

No way!

Now, Su Kexin’s emotions were incredibly unstable. This emotional turmoil caused her eyes to gradually revert to that cold and merciless state of explosive power, which startled Lin Nuo.

“I was just joking! Don’t overthink it, okay?”

Lin Nuo quickly reassured her. If her emotions spiraled again and led to another explosion, he couldn’t handle it.

This girl was already on the verge of an explosive state—would she really go off at any moment due to emotional instability?

You really are a terrifying bomb, ready to blow up at any time!

“Really? Senior Martial Brother, you wouldn’t be joking with me, would you? That’s not okay! I’d actually believe you… I trust you the most…”

Su Kexin hurriedly wiped her tears, her emotions calming down a bit, and the color of her eyes didn’t worsen.

So it really is tied to her emotions!

Does this mean I’m supposed to treat you like a little princess from now on?

What a heightened challenge!

“What are you two doing here? Did you predict the Refining Demon Sect would come to raid the prison?”

“Not at all! We need to report to the court because they’re not acting while countless citizens suffer,” Su Kexin hurriedly responded.

“Report? You’re just fighters; what business do you have with reporting? That’s not your job. I suggest you just overthrow the court; it’d be much easier to seize power that way.”

“Nu’er, don’t say that! They are thinking of the people too; you shouldn’t talk like that.”

Xia Hanmo, unable to hold her tongue, chimed in.

“I’m not wrong. What good does reporting do? This isn’t a royal rule at the moment; if they had any intentions, they would have ordered help for the people long ago. You really don’t need to bother reporting it, it’s pointless.”

Lin Nuo scoffed; none of these people had the foresight of a villain—they were just brainless do-gooders, attempting to maintain peace in the world.

You possess power and reason, and it seems right, but it isn’t.

“Well then, Senior Martial Brother, if that won’t help, what should we do?”

“I suggest you hide with your father. I’ll fix the problem at its source.”

The so-called source meant eliminating Dong Wei.
