Chapter 899: Are You Ready to Serve Me Well?

The Meat Floss Cake in the capital city was decent, but it just couldn’t compare to the local flavors found in smaller towns.

It was like eating in a five-star hotel; everything was expensive, yet for some people, it just didn’t have the charm of street food.

Right now, that was exactly how Lin Nuo felt.

After eating a few, he just couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was missing.

Still, it was good enough to make do.

At this point, if only he had some cold water, it would be even better.

“Time for some tea.”

Gulp, gulp, down it went. Not bad.

But just then, some soldiers came to clear out the streets because there were disciples in the city, urging the citizens to retreat to safety. Consequently, the vendor selling the cakes quickly packed up and left.

“Young man, while the Demon Practitioners aren’t here yet, you should hurry and leave too. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.”

A few soldiers came over to persuade Lin Nuo, but he didn’t respond. He just sat there, continuing to munch on his Meat Floss Cake and sip his tea at a leisurely pace.

“You really should leave quickly. We don’t have much energy to convince you. We’re doing this for your own good. If you refuse to listen, we’ll have no choice but to drag you away!”

These soldiers were part of the Royal Guard, currently acting under Luo Xiaoxue’s orders, so they still had the citizens’ wellbeing in mind.

But Lin Nuo wasn’t bothered; if they had the skill, they could just drag him away directly.

Seeing Lin Nuo’s unresponsiveness, the soldiers got ready to take action, but at that moment, Lin Nuo raised his right hand—not to hit the soldiers, but to unleash a punch, sending a gust of fist wind that shattered the incoming Demon Bullet.

The soldiers were stunned. As the Demon Bullet flew towards them, they hadn’t even had a chance to react before Lin Nuo’s arm had obliterated it.

“Learn to save yourselves before trying to help others. You can go now.”

Lin Nuo said coldly, slowly standing up and shifting his sharp gaze toward the direction the Demon Bullet had come from. He spotted some concealed Demon Practitioners launching an attack on them.

Suddenly, a gust of wind kicked up, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Nuo dashed forward at lightning speed, completely vanishing from sight. In an instant, he tackled the Demon Practitioner, who collapsed onto the street.

Moments later, Lin Nuo returned to his previous spot, resuming his enjoyment of tea and the remaining half of his Meat Floss Cake.

“So, are you guys planning to embarrass yourselves here?”

Lin Nuo’s voice was cold and a bit malicious, but the soldiers felt genuinely grateful nonetheless.

After all, if Lin Nuo hadn’t intervened just then, they would have been done for.

“Thank you, master! We’re immensely grateful!”

The soldiers repeatedly thanked him, aware that he was a powerful figure, destined to save the capital, so it was best to stay out of his way. Then they left.

While chaos brewed nearby, he leisurely sipped tea and munched on his cake, truly unmatched.

Tap, tap, tap…

Hearing familiar footsteps, Lin Nuo paused while holding his teacup, looking towards the source of the sound as he sensed a touch of Chill Air approaching.

There stood a strikingly mysterious girl with long, silver hair, a face as cold as an iceberg, and an overwhelming aura that could send chills even in summer.

From her gaze, Lin Nuo seemed to discern a hint of sorrow, reminiscent of a woman who had kept night watch in solitude for too long, feeling resentful towards her husband who had not returned home.

“It’s been a while.”

A chilly voice floated through the air, and Lin Nuo could feel the girl’s sorrow even more. This could easily turn from resentment to hatred towards him.

But he remained as steady as a rock, not at all flustered. As a seasoned villain, one must remain fearless in the face of adversity. Moreover, when it came to women, one should never show panic.

“It has been a while.”

Lin Nuo casually set down his teacup, fearless and unflinching, finally looking up at the girl.

“You seem to be quite relaxed. Isn’t it lonely sitting alone enjoying tea?”

The silver-haired girl walked up to Lin Nuo, coming to a halt. Today, she was dressed in a blue and white Daoist robe, her slender legs accentuated by alluring black stockings, presenting an exquisite contour for all to see. Her blue and white high heels sparkled like crystal shoes in a wintry landscape, adding to her grace and mystery.

“Are you wanting to say something? Just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush.”

“Alright then, I’ll speak frankly. You’ve forgotten about me since you got Liu Shuqin, haven’t you?”

Qin Shili wasted no time, directly sitting on Lin Nuo’s lap, her left leg crossing over her right and sensually swaying.

“I haven’t forgotten you. You can rest assured about that.”

Lin Nuo replied earnestly, his hand subconsciously resting on Qin Shili’s smooth black-stockinged thigh, relishing the familiar touch.

“Is that so? Then why haven’t you come to find me? If you wanted to remember me, contacting me would be a piece of cake. Yet here I am, having to search for news about you everywhere. You must have been spending wonderful nights with Liu Shuqin, leaving me behind, right? Is someone else’s gentleness making you feel more comfortable?”

“Have you met her?”

Lin Nuo picked up on something amiss; she kept bringing up Liu Shuqin. Was her double cultivation with her exposed?

“Yes, coincidentally, I ran into her. She even shared your joyous moments with me, which filled me with envy.”

Her words dripped with grief, and Lin Nuo sensed the risk of freezing in her icy demeanor.

But he remained unruffled. He was no longer that low-tier nobody; she was just one woman, and he kept his composure.

“It was a forced situation back then; I couldn’t just watch her die.”

“Once could be forced, but several times wouldn’t be. What do you think? After all, her body has quite the allure.”

Qin Shili’s piercing gaze locked onto Lin Nuo, her bright eyes seeming to penetrate deep into his soul, trying to decipher his innermost thoughts.

“You didn’t kill her, right?”

“Naturally not. If I killed the person you saved, wouldn’t I become your enemy? I respect your feelings, but that relies on you needing to pamper me in return. Now that I’m set aside by you, who knows what might happen?”

“So, what do you expect me to do?”

Lin Nuo’s hands began to fidget, caressing her thigh, then her waist without any hint of hesitation. But that was precisely what Qin Shili wanted; she feared that he wouldn’t feel attracted to her to even desire a touch.

“Come to my room tonight, alright?”

Qin Shili’s hand brushed against Lin Nuo’s face, sending a chill down his spine yet soothing his slightly restless heart.

“Wait for me to finish this job, and I’ll come find you. Just wait to serve me well.”

Lin Nuo’s fingertips gently lifted Qin Shili’s chin, exuding a manly vigor that stirred immense emotions within her.

“Alright, I’ll serve you well. Once you return to summer residence, you’ll be able to find me. What do you want me to wear?”

“The outfit from last time.”

“Okay, I’ll prepare that. I wait for your affection.”

With that, Qin Shili kissed Lin Nuo softly on the cheek.
