Chapter 906: The Heroic Feats of Lin Nuo

Lin Nuo: “……”

Here we go again, back to this topic.

Lin Nuo rolled his eyes, wanting to dodge this discussion. What’s this about marriage and all? Right now, he could marry two at once if he really wanted to!

Let’s count: with Ruo’er, Liu Shuqin, and Ling Meng, that makes five!

Sure, this might be a man’s dream, but his body might not handle it.

He’s already lost his innocence with three of them, each one more fierce than the last. Although he’s still in good shape, just managing one is already pushing it; bringing more into the mix might just be his end.

Heaven and hell can often change in an instant—stay in paradise for a while, and in the blink of an eye, you could fall into hell.

This epiphany came to Lin Nuo after sharing a room with the ladies.

Qin Shili, Ruo’er, and Liu Shuqin posed no lethal threat, but Su Kexin was a different story—how could he guarantee that the moment they all fell asleep, she’d suddenly unleash chaos and wipe him out?

Terrifying.

“Why marry? It’s too early! You know I don’t like to talk about this.”

“Sigh, your mother is only looking out for you. You’re still single—a rare thing with so many girls fawning over you. I’ve seen them; they’re all good girls. You mustn’t let them down.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll get married; just wait and see.”

Lin Nuo responded somewhat dismissively, but truthfully, there’s no way he could avoid marriage as a normal man. Companionship is essential, both physically and mentally.

But talking too much about it? Not a good idea.

“Ah, Nuo’er, you always say that! Your mother is worried for you. How about you make an engagement with one of them? That way, I’d feel at ease. You must cherish these good girls; otherwise, other young masters might steal them away!”

“They can’t be stolen.”

How could that possibly happen? It’s been years; who hasn’t proposed to them? If words had any weight, would they still be sharing a bed with him?

Besides, if they could be stolen away, what use were they? The Demon Ruler wouldn’t keep unfaithful women.

“Forget the engagement; that’s just a formality. Where’s your soup?”

“Mm, I’ll bring it to you.”

Before he knew it, they’d reached the kitchen, and the servants respectfully bowed as Xia Hanmo personally took the soup out.

A bowl of chicken soup was placed in front of Lin Nuo.

Wait, chicken soup?

Honestly, with a villain’s mindset, he couldn’t help but wonder if this chicken soup might be poisoned.

Such paranoia—overthinking!

Lin Nuo picked up the bowl, sipping slowly, careful not to drink too fast to show he was savoring it as a sign of respect towards Xia Hanmo.

“Is it good, Nuo’er?”

“Pretty good.”

“That’s great! Here’s another bowl for you.”

With that, Xia Hanmo brought him another bowl, and he readily drank it down. Yet another bowl came, and he drank again. And another, he gulped down.

It just kept coming—how much had she really made?

Is she trying to drown me with this?! If I don’t get poisoned, I might just drown instead!

“Alright, alright, that’s enough.”

“Just one more bowl!”

“You said that after the last few; enough already.”

Lin Nuo’s stomach was struggling; it was all just water now. He’d be making many trips to the restroom.

So when faced with his mother’s chicken soup, he had to be cautious.

“If you’re not drinking soup, I made some meat too…”

“Let’s eat that at night; it’s fine. Just sit and relax; don’t overwork yourself, okay?”

Lin Nuo sighed; she was a noblewoman, after all. What kind of proper lady goes cooking and preparing soup herself?

However, Xia Hanmo had a knack for wanting to do everything by herself—that was just her character.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have traveled all the way to the capital to start some farm venture, putting herself at risk.

“Sigh, Nuo’er, you know me, I can’t sit still. I always want to find something to do. Nuo’er, find a wife! I love chatting with my daughter-in-law. And please get me a grandchild soon; I love holding grandchildren.”

“Wife and grandchild again…”

She’s obsessed! Three sentences in a row about a “wife” and “grandchild,” it’s like a dogmatic chant, making Lin Nuo’s head spin.

“Sigh, that’s just how she is; don’t take it to heart.”

“Alright, that’s enough. Let’s not talk about this topic anymore. Don’t overexert yourself; I’m heading out.”

With that, Lin Nuo exited the kitchen. If he had to keep hearing that mantra, his head would explode.

Back in the living room, Su Kexin and Qin Shili stared daggers at each other, seemingly locked in a deadly rivalry.

As soon as they saw Lin Nuo, they rushed over, pulling and pushing like they’d lost their minds.

“Lin Nuo, you’re a lucky guy! I was planning to introduce you to some girls from the capital, but it looks like it’s unnecessary now.”

Xia Lü approached, amused by the spectacle.

Following him was his daughter, Xia Ying, Lin Nuo’s cousin, of similar age to Su Kexin—delicate and polite.

“Hello, Nuo Ge! Hello, ladies!”

“Hello!”

Lin Nuo nodded, his attitude towards this cousin neutral—neither dislike nor fondness, as they didn’t really interact much.

Hearing about introductions, Qin Shili and Su Kexin were not pleased. Why would they need introductions when they already had Lin Nuo? Did they intend for him to marry every girl in the capital?

“Lord Xia, thank you for your kind intentions towards Lin Nuo. However, he has already made a marriage pact with me, so there’s no need for introductions.”

“He has a marriage pact with me, and I’ve met his parents! Our families have already discussed it!”

Su Kexin interjected, and Lin Nuo thought, “Wow, are these marriage pacts completely made up? When did I even agree to one?”

“Really? Then I must have overthought it; Xia wishes all of you happiness.”

“Congratulations, Nuo Ge, and to the two older sisters for a lifetime of togetherness!”

Father and daughter duo was surprisingly harmonious, offering their blessings as if a grand feast was already planned.

What about their monetary contribution? Don’t they owe him a share?

This conversation should not reach Xia Hanmo’s ears; otherwise, he’d get an earful!

Oh no, she’s already heard it and is approaching.

If this marriage thing gets out, there’d be a celebration all over town!

But that’s unlikely—if Liu Shuqin and Ruo’er found out, they’d probably end up as rivals!

……

Royal Palace.

“Report! Your Majesty, Princess! The Dong Wei base is ablaze! As it stands, it seems to have been annihilated!”

An excited subordinate rushed in, bringing joy to the Emperor and Luo Xiaoxue.

The Dong Wei base’s destruction meant the Dong Wei forces had been wiped out!

For Pu Han, this was a historic moment—no longer would they be under Dong Wei’s control; the royal authority and power could be restored.

“Lin Nuo, it must be him! He’s truly amazing, single-handedly taking down Dong Wei.”

Luo Xiaoxue said dreamily, realizing that Lin Nuo was clearing all obstacles for her, pushing her towards the throne. Such thoughts made her heart all the more devoted to him.

With nothing to repay, she could only give herself fully to him.
