Chapter 928: She Is Much More Than You

Chapter 928: She Is Much More Than You

Things have changed.

I thought that confronting Su Kexin from my previous life would leave her flustered; if she got flustered, it would mean my victory.

But, surprisingly, she didn’t get flustered.

Instead, she uttered something intriguing, saying that without him, she had lost her passion for life.

Is that something she can say?

Is she really the invincible Su Kexin?

Lin Nuo was filled with confusion—was the world about to change?

He looked at this Su Kexin with the same expression one might use to regard a monster.

It felt somewhat terrifying.

The young Su Kexin listened to their conversation, initially baffled, but understood the last sentence perfectly.

It was the line, “After you die, I truly won’t be able to find my passion for life.”

The girl is quite sensitive, and that statement undoubtedly expressed the opponent’s feelings.

Setting aside the whole life-and-death situation, it could be translated to mean that without Lin Nuo, she would lack pursuit and meaning in life.

How could she endure this!

The young Su Kexin was enraged; the opponent was directly provoking her!

She wondered if the opponent was intentionally pretending to be her to get closer to her Senior Martial Brother?

After all, there could only be one Su Kexin in this world—how could another one possibly exist?

So, she had this ulterior motive after all.

How careless of her.

Ignoring her true identity for the moment, just observing her intentions showed that the newcomer was up to no good.

She’d just been slashed by her, blood pouring out; although it had mostly stopped, the fury inside her was hard to quell.

Anger. Was this woman planning to replace her? Everyone knows she is qualified to share the Sharp Sword with Lin Nuo, and her status in his heart is far from ordinary.

“Why don’t you say something?! What’s your intention with this?”

The young Su Kexin yelled furiously at her opponent.

However, the opponent remained unfazed.

She knew well what kind of personality she had four years ago—still that immature girl.

Moreover, she seemed to have expressed interest in Lin Nuo quite early in this life.

What had transpired between them remained uncertain.

But sharing the Sharp Sword together hinted that there was something more.

As for what exactly, that was yet to be uncovered.

“This is none of your business. This should be Lin Nuo’s concern.”

The mature Su Kexin didn’t take the young Su Kexin seriously at all.

Being unrivaled in the world, she wouldn’t spare a thought for anyone, including her past self.

Precisely because of that, she was lonely, realizing that there was nothing worth pursuing in this world. After Lin Nuo died, peace would reign; even if new evils arose, they would be quelled without her lifting a finger.

Invincibility is solitary; at least she had a goal: to kill Lin Nuo and restore peace to the world.

However, that day arrived, and it instead left her in a sense of emptiness, as if everything had come to an end and her existence was no longer necessary.

Without passion, it felt like a soulless body, a mere shell of a human.

That’s why she would say such words to Lin Nuo.

“Stay out of it and don’t interrupt.”

Lin Nuo interjected, asking the young Su Kexin to step aside, as her emotions were easily ignited, and she tended to say all sorts of impulsive things.

Let’s have a proper conversation without all the shouting.

Yet her emotions were so pure that it somewhat eased Lin Nuo; if she were as cold-faced and scheming as her past self, things would be troublesome.

Lin Nuo coughed lightly and turned to the mature Su Kexin, saying:

“What do you mean by this? Isn’t my departure what you wanted?”

“It’s not like that. Let’s put it this way; it’s not entirely my true wish. Your existence is indeed a threat to the world. However, you also serve as my motivation in life.”

“Not… what do you mean by that…”

Lin Nuo listened, even more confused. What was she saying? It sounded like without him, she couldn’t continue living.

What on earth?

In the grand narrative, I’m the villain, you’re the protagonist; your task is to kill me. That much is true, and the story goes accordingly—you can kill me, and next should be peace in the world, and you should be at ease.

So what in the world do you mean by all this…?

“It’s a simple matter. Just that without you, I lack a goal.”

“What goal could you possibly want? You’ve completed your task; you could enjoy peace in your later years. What goal…?”

Lin Nuo retorted, feeling something was off with this Su Kexin.

How had he not noticed her issues before? It’s as if a hundred years without dying would mean news for everyone.

“Is that so? I have no intention of enjoying my later years. That’s not my style.”

“Then your style has some problems; do you have some major illness?”

Lin Nuo continued to retort, astonished at the bizarre mindset of the protagonist that was hard to grasp.

“Where did you take my corpse?” Lin Nuo questioned.

“I hidden it away.”

“What are you planning…?”

“That’s none of your concern.”

“Damn it, it’s my corpse; shouldn’t I care?”

Lin Nuo was truly flabbergasted, the thought sending shivers down his spine. Did she plan to collect his corpse for some sort of bizarre purpose?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became; was she after Lin Nuo’s good looks and physique, planning to satisfy some twisted desire?

In theory, a righteous protagonist shouldn’t have such unscrupulous thoughts—most likely it was about keeping it for occasional use like a puppet.

“How much do you hate me that you’d hide my corpse and poke at it, am I right?”

“Not at all. I can only say, your corpse is preserved very well, and you don’t need to worry about that.”

The opponent replied, her cold voice making Lin Nuo uneasy.

Damn it, he had died in that world and couldn’t return. No matter how much he worried, it was pointless.

His once-illustrious life had been ruined by her hands.

Anger.

But what good would it do? He had no way to handle her with pure strength.

“So why the long trip across time and space to do this? Are you planning to annihilate me completely, turning me to dust?”

“I have no such intention. I merely came to retrieve my passion for life because you still exist.”

“So, you still want to kill me, huh?”

“If you’re still killable by me, it just shows you haven’t improved at all.”

Lin Nuo: “…”

What on earth was wrong with her head? We just battled, and if I don’t fight you, how could you possibly kill me?

This person was just so annoyingly persistent.

In comparison, this young Su Kexin had a much better temperament.

The innocent little girl, aside from being a bit silly at times, wasn’t so full of herself!

“Come on. Let’s continue our duel. Isn’t that what you wanted? You want to kill me, right?”

With that, she drew her Sharp Sword and charged at Lin Nuo.

“Do you really think so highly of yourself? I have no interest in you. Forget it; I’m too lazy to fight you.”

With that, Lin Nuo shifted his attention to the young Su Kexin.

“I’m much more interested in her than you.”
