Chapter 914: Please Treat Me Twice as Well

Chapter 914: Please Treat Me Twice as Well

Lin Nuo thought he could get rid of the scent related to Luo Xiaoxue, but in the end, he couldn’t hide it from Qin Shili and Su Kexin.

After all, girls are quite sensitive, especially when it comes to a prince charming they fancy. Any trace of another girl’s scent is easily picked up.

Whose scent is this?

They moved close to Lin Nuo, sniffing around, and quickly identified the source.

There were only a handful of girls close to Lin Nuo; they could match the scent to its owner in an instant.

It’s just Luo Yi—Lin Nuo had her fragrance on him. Although it was faint and somewhat handled, it was still impossible to completely erase, leaving just enough that an ordinary person would miss it. But they wouldn’t, thanks to their professional skills.

“What are you two doing?”

Lin Nuo felt something was off; an ominous premonition washed over him.

“Senior Brother, are you out looking for other girls?”

Su Kexin blinked her big, sparkling eyes, staring intently at Lin Nuo.

“What? What are you talking about?”

Lin Nuo was a bit confused. He thought he had already gotten rid of the scent.

That couldn’t be possible!

“Lin Nuo, is that why you went out? To find Luo Yi?”

Qin Shili’s voice carried a hint of grievance. She had been dutifully waiting at the Xia Manor for him to return, and here he was, gallivanting off to find another woman.

How could she tolerate that?

She was filled with so much resentment it seemed like she wanted to freeze Lin Nuo in place—or if worse came to worst, take him down with her.

Sweat broke out on Lin Nuo’s forehead. How could they even tell?

Good grief! Were they all like dogs sniffing out scents?

Lin Nuo kept his cool and calmly replied:

“I just ran into her while helping her army drive out the demon practitioners in the city. That’s all. It’s normal for us to meet, leading to her fragrance lingering on me.”

“That kind of scent doesn’t just come from a casual encounter. You know what I mean.”

Qin Shili’s sharp gaze swept over Lin Nuo, like a dagger piercing through him.

A chill ran down his spine; he instinctively shivered.

That was an icy aura. When she got angry, the air itself felt frigid, piercing down to the bone.

Qin Shili was astute, having the most interactions with him, and she was already a very shrewd woman. There’s no way she wouldn’t figure out what was going on.

It was exactly what it sounded like. If the scent lingered on him, then their contact must have been more than ordinary.

Of course, while Su Kexin could sense it, she hadn’t connected the dots yet; their most intimate experiences were in illusions, lacking the keen perception of a woman.

“What do you mean by that? I just bumped into her outside. It’s completely normal to get mixed up while fighting; who’s going to be talking love during a brawl?”

Lin Nuo retorted coolly, “You weren’t there, so what can you say? Be careful, I might sue you for defamation!”

“Indeed, it wouldn’t be about love talk. After all, it’s not something you can just say with words.”

Qin Shili spoke cryptically, and Lin Nuo seemed to catch on to her unspoken meaning.

It was that kind of thing.

The joys of love between men and women.

Love and lust can’t just be discussed—when passion ignites, it becomes something more significant.

This was indeed Qin Shili; it was tough to slip anything past her.

But he had come to terms with it. As the Supreme Demon Ruler, he should be capable of handling relationships with various ladies.

“So what do you want from me? Should I draft you a formal request for going out?”

Lin Nuo quickly became assertive. He couldn’t always be under the pressure of the girls’ expectations—he had to stand up for himself as a master!

“No need. How could we dare to demand anything from you? We’re just concerned about you. Is concern not allowed?”

Qin Shili’s voice was frigid; this didn’t sound like concern. Quite frankly, it felt like an accusation.

“Fine.”

Lin Nuo nodded, forgiving her with the dignity befitting a man of supreme status.

“Then, Senior Brother, did you really run into Luo Yi? I’m so envious! She gets to fight alongside you. Oh dear, I’m stuck back at the Xia Manor.”

Su Kexin was easier to fool; she was still new to this level of intrigue.

“Staying at Xia Manor is good for you, so you haven’t gone out, right?”

“Nope, I’ve been right here at Xia Manor. I listen to my Senior Brother!”

Su Kexin smiled innocently, not thinking too deeply about it.

At most, she suspected Lin Nuo was meeting up with another girl for romantic reasons. But with the city in chaos, Luo Yi was busy commanding the Royal Guard, so it was unlikely they’d meet romantically. This was hardly the time!

Qin Shili didn’t continue her questioning; there was no need for it in the hall. She would have her chance to interrogate him later.

After all, they’d be sharing a bed, and with the long night ahead, there would be plenty of opportunities.

If he dared run off to find Luo Yi, they could both end it together. If she couldn’t beat him, dying by his hand was no regret.

“Lin Nuo, have the issues in the city been resolved?” Qin Shili asked.

“Resolved, nothing much left.”

Lin Nuo replied, just as he spotted Xia Hanmo coming from inside and immediately went to greet her.

“Dear!”

“It’s all done. We can have dinner together today.”

“Great! I’ll cook your favorite dishes!”

“Just home-cooked meals are fine. You know I can eat anything you make.”

While conversing with Xia Hanmo, Lin Nuo switched to a different tone, clearly showing he cared about her thoughts.

“Good! It’s rare for you to visit the Xia Manor. Everyone knows how capable you are. The crisis in the capital has passed; we should celebrate together.”

Xia Hanmo held Lin Nuo’s hand, speaking gently.

In truth, she hoped to gather all the girls who were fond of Lin Nuo for a meal together.

She actually liked them; having them as daughters-in-law would be nice.

That day, Lin Nuo enjoyed dinner at Xia Manor. As night descended, he didn’t run off but stayed in the manor, feeling a subtle chill in the air.

Tap-tap-tap! The familiar sound of high heels approached.

Such a crisp, rhythmic sound made a man’s imagination run wild—was it a mature, beautiful woman coming?

“I thought you’d leave to find Luo Yi. So, how was it? Were you satisfied with the ‘services’ of her body?”

A cold voice came in, one that could make any simp lose his appetite.

“What are you talking about?”

Lin Nuo feigned ignorance, trying to wiggle out of the situation, though he knew it was futile.

“There’s no need to lie anymore. The scent on your body gives everything away. If you hadn’t had intimate contact with her, you could have completely eliminated those scents. I can tell you tried to cover it up, but you couldn’t get rid of it all.”

Lin Nuo: “…”

Good heavens! Sherlock Holmes with a nose, huh? With just a whiff, she could deduce everything.

“So what do you want?” Lin Nuo asked.

“I’m not blaming you. But whatever you did with her, you’d better double that attention on me.”
