Chapter 979: They Have Arrived

It happened again.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nuo’s heart was a mix of emotions, joy and sorrow intertwined.

Joy, because he preferred this version of Ruo’er; after all, he was first drawn to the youthful Ruo’er, and she suited him better like that.

Sorrow, because something unusual was happening, indicating that there might be some trouble brewing.

“Young Master, I…”

Noticing Lin Nuo staring at her, Ruo’er, with her flushed face, felt a bit shy.

Her bashful demeanor made Ruo’er even more charming, which caused Lin Nuo to gaze at her for a little longer.

“Ahem…”

Lin Nuo slightly shifted his gaze,

“How are you feeling? Any discomfort?”

“Me? No, it’s just… why does my body…?”

“This might be related to your dual cultivation. The power you’ve accumulated might have even altered your physique. But since you don’t feel any discomfort, it’s fine. Over time, your body will return to normal.”

Lin Nuo said seriously, though this was merely his guess; he wanted Ruo’er to calm down emotionally, as a turbulent mood could lead to other issues.

“Oh… I see. I thought I couldn’t go back. Well… Young Master, wait a moment, let me check how I look.”

Ruo’er took out a mirror from her spirit pouch. As a young lady, a mirror is a necessity—especially when facing her beloved.

She looked at herself in the mirror, noticing she had matured a bit more. But compared to Liu Shuqin and the others, she still seemed youthful.

She was a pure maiden, exuding an aura of celestial charm with every movement, truly a heavenly beauty, captivating enough to turn heads.

With a touch of maturity added to her appearance, she found that she resembled the White Fox Fairy she had encountered before.

Some might even believe they were mother and daughter.

“Young Master, how do I look now?”

Ruo’er covered her smooth, pale face with her right hand, asking softly.

“Pretty good. This is you in the future; you’re just experiencing it early.”

“Future? You’ve already figured out how I’ll look in the future, Young Master. You’re truly knowledgeable and capable!”

Ruo’er grew even more impressed with Lin Nuo. Perhaps the change in her physical age had intensified her youthful ardor towards love—stronger than the feelings of the little girl she once was.

Of course, her desires were stronger too.

“Young Master…”

Ruo’er set the mirror aside and crawled towards Lin Nuo, her fluffy big tail and ears wavering excitedly.

Never had her feelings been this intense; she longed to be more affectionate with her Young Master.

Ruo’er’s small face flushed deeper, and the frequency at which her tail and ears twitched increased.

“Ruo’er, are you really okay?”

Lin Nuo wanted to back away, but Ruo’er had already closed in on him, holding his arm tightly.

Actually, Lin Nuo could easily retreat if he wanted, but he was more smitten by the youthful Ruo’er; the previous illusions only intensified his feelings.

Thus, with hesitation, he didn’t dodge in time.

“I… I’m fine, Young Master. I just… want to enjoy more sweet moments with you… Young Master, please pamper Ruo’er a bit more.”

Ruo’er’s little face grew even redder, and she moved closer to Lin Nuo, extending her small tongue to lick his cheek.

So nice, Young Master’s flavor is just so good.

I wish it could always be like this.

Such a soft, snow-white body was right before Lin Nuo, yet he still managed to keep his emotions in check.

He had concerns—the celestial aura surrounding Ruo’er was dense; dual cultivation hadn’t helped her resist corruption. This situation should come to a stop.

But…

He hesitated—this was no different from those weak, spineless protagonists.

After all, he was a villain!

Moreover, this was the body and soul he loved the most—he felt invigorated now.

“Ruo’er, do you know that you might get punished for this?”

“Punished? Young Master, did I do something wrong…?”

“What you did wrong was trying to provoke me.”

Lin Nuo wrapped his arms around Ruo’er’s slim waist, and this touch made her heart race even more.

“Young Master, Ruo’er will accept your punishment…”

“You’ll have to accept it, whether you like it or not.”

Lin Nuo turned, picking Ruo’er up and tossing her onto the bed, swiftly approaching her body.

“Young Master, if this is a punishment, then please give me more!”

Ruo’er began speaking strange words as the two became engulfed in passionate entanglement.

Outside the cave…

“Did someone come in? There was a fluctuation of spiritual energy just now.”

“Young Master, we didn’t find anyone entering. Could this spiritual energy fluctuation be due to some disturbance in the forest?”

“Ling Meng, our junior is currently performing dual cultivation with Ruo’er. If outsiders intrude, it might disrupt them. Let’s go.”

Now, Liu Shuqin and Ling Meng, accompanied by several Demon Practitioners, hurried towards the cave where Lin Nuo and Ruo’er were, eager to check the situation.

“There’s celestial energy and demon qi. It’s coming from that cave.”

They gradually sensed the mingling celestial and demon qi, their gaze landing on the cave.

“That must be the place. Could there be an immortal hiding here, and our subordinates are engaged in a conflict with them?”

Ling Meng pondered briefly before quickly quickening her pace. With so many subordinates guarding, if an immortal had actually appeared, it could spell trouble for them.

Let’s go inside.

They hastened their steps, and the closer they got, the more things felt off.

Inside the cave, demon runes were effective, creating multiple layers of seals. But the magical seals would weaken over time, and they now needed to break them to enter.

“These runes… they resemble Master’s… no, not Master; he’s still performing his ritual. These runes have been up for a while; we need to break them.”

Ling Meng and Liu Shuqin performed a spell together, forcefully breaking the runes. A surge of powerful Demon Soul Power erupted, shaking the cave. However, Lin Nuo had prepared with a spell earlier, so the cave wouldn’t collapse just yet.

Meanwhile, inside the cave…

“There are outsiders. It’s likely that Ruo’er’s spiritual energy attracted their attention.”

Lin Nuo whispered softly. He had already pulled away from Ruo’er, but she, still not satisfied, quickly pounced back onto him, kissing him.

“An outsider is coming; we should wrap this up.”

Lin Nuo pulled away from Ruo’er again and quickly put on his clothes.

Ruo’er’s physique had changed; her clothes were probably impossible to wear now, even her underwear was torn apart.

“Put on my outer robe first to cover up, and I’ll find you some other clothes once we’re outside.”

Lin Nuo tossed Ruo’er his outer robe. She hurriedly caught it, but instead of putting it on, she began sniffing its scent.

“This is Young Master’s robe; this is the scent of Young Master. Such a nice smell!”

Ruo’er seemed to have found a precious treasure, reluctant to let it go.

Lin Nuo: “…Could you hurry up and change?”

Lin Nuo felt helpless—what had this little girl turned into?

Meanwhile, outside, Liu Shuqin and Ling Meng were getting closer…
