Chapter 975: We Need the Next Step

This wave of Demonization seemed a success, but in reality, it failed—probably due to Ruo’er’s constitution; she simply couldn’t be demonized.

This put me in a bit of a bind. After all, I, Lin Nuo, am the biggest villain in this spirit cultivation world. Adding Luo Xiaoxue to the mix, that’s already two failures.

It seems ever since he became a demon, he’s only conducted two demonization ceremonies, both of which flopped.

Honestly, if anyone heard about this, they’d burst out laughing, even that dog from the next village.

It’s just a matter of selecting unique targets; after all, in this world, not everyone is an easy target. Naturally, there are others with special abilities who can protect themselves.

And the Sword Saint is quite a big shot in this realm. With Ruo’er being his daughter, she must be hiding some unknown abilities as well.

What a headache! If this doesn’t work, Ruo’er will struggle to stay on his side.

What a disgusting lineage.

Of all things, she’s the Sword Saint’s daughter! In a story, she would be that eccentric hermit that ordinary folks can’t understand, occasionally popping up to save the protagonist during a crisis, saying profound things that neither humans nor ghosts can comprehend, suddenly enlightening the protagonist!

Yes, that’s exactly the kind of character she is.

If someone like that gets angry, they don’t mess around; they’ll go all out!

“Master? Master? What’s wrong with you?”

Ruo’er tried to rush over to Lin Nuo, but he immediately raised his hand to stop her.

“Don’t come over just yet, have a seat first.”

“Oh…”

Ruo’er, not fully aware of the situation, obediently sat down, her fluffy ears and tail twitching slightly.

Right now, the Demon Qi in Ruo’er’s body was gradually dissipating, replaced by an Immortal aura.

After all this time, she still looked the same, without the slightest change. No, there was a change—her Immortal aura was seemingly stronger.

It was a case of making things worse.

This wasn’t the first time this has happened.

Another entry in the black history book.

Lin Nuo frowned; he was running out of options.

If he wanted to proceed with the next ceremony, he would have to wait at least another hour, and with that little time, the effect wouldn’t be optimal.

Give up?

No way! It’s hard to come across her, and she’s just emerged from the Celestial Valley—what an opportunity!

But it didn’t work out.

It surely wasn’t smooth sailing.

Ruo’er watched Lin Nuo, who was deep in thought, wondering if something big had happened.

In theory, after being demonized, she should have Demon Qi like those Demon Practitioners, an oppressive aura surrounding her. But now, she felt nothing of the sort.

And the Immortal aura was overflowing, it didn’t resemble a Demon Practitioner at all!

Ah, didn’t Master just say I became one? I should have turned, right? Master’s work should be reliable, right?

Hmm… maybe I’m overthinking things.

Ruo’er sat and waited while Lin Nuo observed her, circling around. Her round, glimmering eyes followed him.

“Don’t move, just stay still.”

“Oh…”

Feeling a bit uneasy without Lin Nuo’s gaze on her, she glanced back at him, reminded not to fidget.

“Master, what are you observing…? I don’t have anything dirty on me, right? If so, I can just take off my clothes; maybe you can see better then.”

“Don’t say things like that, you little girl.”

“Ah… I’m not saying it casually! I only say that to you. I wouldn’t say such things to anyone else.”

“Even so, don’t say it. If I need you to take off anything, I’ll ask; no need to concern yourself. Just stand up for now.”

“Oh…”

Ruo’er quickly stood up, brushing off the dust from her clothes, trying to look presentable, fidgeting with her dress.

Lin Nuo circled around for a bit, observing. The Immortal aura had diluted slightly. Looking east and west, Ruo’er was still a pure Immortal, not a trace of filth on her.

To put it simply, she looked like an exceptionally noble fairy in the eyes of the common folk. A few years down the line, she would grow up to be the fairy sister, back then even he would have to call her that.

Now, Lin Nuo was considering two plans:
