Chapter 983: Could They Be Cultivating Together?

“Human Guardian?”

The Guardian on the opposing side was also half-skeptical; he wasn’t a fool. From the earlier conversation, he felt that this boy didn’t really understand the situation.

“You just asked me about it. If you are a Guardian, how can you be unclear?”

“I’m just checking to see if you’re being honest; I know enough! I believe cooperation should be built on sincerity. If you have any secrets, then there’s no need for our conversation to continue.”

Lin Nuo said this with utmost seriousness, though the other person didn’t fully believe him and remained cautious.

“Then do you know who our master is?”

“I don’t know, but our master does. I’ll report back to them. It’s best if you don’t just casually bring some demon to deceive us.”

“We are indeed sincere in this matter. Please, notify your master as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the crack closes, we might miss a great opportunity.”

The opponent responded, and soon his voice faded, but there was a bit of noise left, like a bunch of little ghosts bickering.

Lin Nuo didn’t draw his sword, worrying that doing so might cause him to lose control of the crack, so he maintained the current situation.

As the magic array took effect, the crack gradually stabilized, but he still needed to wait a bit longer.

“Master, how’s it now?” Ruo’er asked with some concern.

“It’s nothing serious. Don’t worry; I’ll handle everything.”

Lin Nuo spoke with confidence, which calmed Ruo’er a little, but the puzzles in her heart still tormented her.

“Master, I just heard, what’s the connection between this Demon Realm and the Refining Demon Sect? What does it have to do with you? And why did he mention me? What’s going on?”

“Come here.”

Lin Nuo pulled Ruo’er to the side to prevent the unknown little demons lurking in the crack from overhearing them.

Seriously, he felt like the place was filled with eavesdroppers, as if everything he said was being listened in on.

“Master…?”

“Okay, here’s good.”

Lin Nuo let go of her hand, looked around, even ran over to examine the rocky walls carefully, worried there were mechanisms or spirit techniques for listening in.

Steady.

Nothing, at least nothing he could sense.

“Good.”

After finishing his inspection, Lin Nuo returned to Ruo’er and placed his hands on her shoulders, his face serious.

“Listen, they are not part of the Refining Demon Sect. They have no relations with me. As for you, frankly, your constitution is a bit hard to explain. It could be the result of our dual cultivation. But obviously, if they can’t open the crack from me, they might come looking for you. In any case, just don’t talk to them.”

“Oh, okay! I’ll listen to the master. By the way, master, you said you’re a Human Guardian— is that true? Wow, master has such a mighty title!”

“Silly girl, what are you thinking?”

Lin Nuo lightly patted Ruo’er on the head. Honestly, Ruo’er’s level of innocence was comparable to Su Kexin.

She could really get tricked.

“I’m just fooling them. There’s no such thing as a Human Guardian. Maybe there is, but it’s definitely not me. How could I handle such a gatekeeping job?”

“Mm… So your master thing is also a trick, right?”

“Tricked, but not completely. I’m both a subordinate and a master—no issues there. It’s just a way to draw their master out. Who knows what their situation is? They keep talking about cooperation, now that you and I can open that crack, if they step into the human world, they might just burn the bridge after crossing it. I get this trick. Just don’t touch that crack, or I won’t be able to seal it.”

“Mm… okay.”

Ruo’er felt a bit ashamed, almost causing a big mistake. It seemed she had to control her curiosity! No more random touching!

“Master, master, that…”

Ruo’er covered her slightly flushed face, hesitant to speak.

“What is it? You’re not feeling an urgent need, are you?” Lin Nuo asked.

“No, no… Master, since there’s no one else here, can we continue what we were doing before? Um… I just really want to be close to the master. I’ll bring out the big bed.”

“No, it’s not the time for that.”

Lin Nuo was exasperated. What was wrong with this fox, what kind of messy thoughts were in her head?

You’re still so young, having such desires…

It seemed like every girl he had dual cultivated with wasn’t like this at all.

Beneath their dignified exteriors lay hearts brimming with desire.

Scary.

He had to find a method to enhance his endurance soon; it was urgent. Otherwise, he’d be either killed or exhausted by these young ladies.

“Endure a bit; we’ll talk after this is settled.”

“Then how about a kiss? Just one will do.”

Ruo’er spread her arms and lunged at Lin Nuo. However, he gently pushed her away with one hand.

What’s a kiss? Once you start kissing, the next step will just unfold, and I won’t be able to control my desires at all.

“Mm… Master, master, let’s kiss! Just one. Come on, come on~”

Ruo’er pouted, acting all wronged and cute. Although Lin Nuo had some affection for her, he wasn’t soft enough to fall for this.

Gotta protect myself first.

Besides, the crack originated from his dual cultivation with Ruo’er. If they continued, it might spell trouble.

Better to be cautious.

In an instant, Lin Nuo sensed various energies approaching, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Right! There are pursuers!

In focusing on the Demon Realm affair, he completely overlooked this detail!

Find an escape route!

Lin Nuo looked around, realizing there wasn’t another way out, and thought about making a hole to leave.

But there was a problem.

If they left, they might head for that crack. Who could say what strange abilities they might have? Just like Ruo’er, one touch and it could open.

Plus, that sword was still not retrieved; it was still sealing the crack.

And what about me, a big villain? Hiding and sneaking around is just pathetic.

After some contemplation, Lin Nuo had hesitated for a moment when Ling Meng and the others arrived, spotting Lin Nuo ahead.

“Master! It’s you! What are you doing here? And who is…?!”

Ling Meng noticed something was off; there was a white fox girl beside Lin Nuo.

The girl looked very similar to the White Fox Fairy Lin Nuo had knocked out earlier, and since the firelight wasn’t strong, it seemed like her!

It couldn’t be Ruo’er; Ruo’er was petite. This was definitely the Fairy!

So what were they doing?!

Could it be that this was just a façade, and they were secretly having an affair?!

Various disturbing thoughts surfaced in Ling Meng’s mind, primarily that Lin Nuo was having secret meetings with the Fairy.

“Isn’t that the White Fox Fairy who’s against us? Master, why are you keeping this from us to be with her?!”

“Ling Meng, calm down. That seems to be Ruo’er,” Liu Shuqin quickly advised the agitated Ling Meng.

“Ruo’er? Ruo’er doesn’t look like this!”

“True, usually, she doesn’t. But she’s been through some things, and her physique has changed.”

As she said this, Liu Shuqin recalled Lin Nuo and Ruo’er’s dual cultivation.

Could it be they were cultivating here?
