Chapter 988: I Want to Sleep with Young Master

“Reporting to Your Majesty! We have searched the entire Royal Palace but found no trace of the assassin! Please pardon us, Your Majesty!”

It was a ruckus in the palace at night, with everyone on high alert, yet there was still no sign of the assassin, and not a single person had seen the individual described by Luo Xiaoxue.

“None at all…?”

Luo Xiaoxue fell into deep thought. Could it have been an illusion? Meaning the opponent had invaded her mind and created a delusion?

What kind of high-level figure could do this?

“When my disciple came to see me during the day, do you know where he went?”

“Your Majesty, after we relayed your message to him, he left without giving any further information.”

“Very well. Continue your patrols, and apprehend any suspicious individuals.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers scattered, continuing their patrol with unwavering vigilance. How could it be that the Emperor encountered an assassin, and yet no one saw anything? Such dereliction of duty!

Luo Xiaoxue rubbed her eyes, feeling somewhat weary. But tonight’s events weighed heavily on her mind, making it difficult to find sleep.

She returned to her chamber, loosening her clothing. Each night, before she slept, she had to look at Lin Nuo’s portrait, as if he were right beside her.

Just self-comforting, really.

And that Dao Fu—she still kept it intact, as if it were a token of affection given to her by Lin Nuo.

“Is this really my own ability?”

Looking at the slightly yellowed Dao Fu, Luo Xiaoxue murmured to herself.

“No, it must be a gift from Lin the Knight. Besides, after cultivating with Lin the Knight, my abilities have surged. How could it be my own power? Why was I so foolish to listen to that person’s words and doubt Lin the Knight?”

Luo Xiaoxue shook her head, deciding not to overthink it. Time to rest.

She lay alone on the golden dragon bed, and every time she closed her eyes, Lin Nuo’s handsome face flashed through her mind.

Lin the Knight, where are you now?

…

The fog in the mountain forest still hung thick, blanketing everything and obscuring direction.

The cave where the interdimensional crack had appeared was sealed off, and Lin Nuo had stationed people there, ensuring that nothing was amiss for the time being.

They had set up a temporary residence in the woods. Lin Nuo returned to his room, ordered someone to bring him pen and paper, and began to jot down ideas to organize his thoughts.

There were disruptions in this lifetime; the existence of the Demon Realm made it necessary for him to stay alert.

What to do? Su Kexin, this main character, was already tricky enough, and now a new world had emerged. If that place produced some other ridiculous protagonist, it would be hellish difficulty!

He even suspected someone had altered the script after his reincarnation and secretly added new settings.

“Reporting to the Demon Ruler, Ruo’er seeks an audience.”

The Demon Practitioners outside notified Lin Nuo, who nodded and replied:

“Let her in.”

“Yes!”

The Demon Practitioner stepped out, and soon Ruo’er walked in.

She had changed her outfit to one resembling a Demon Fox’s attire, fitting her figure. Although not as ethereal as before, she still retained an immortal aura.

Even in the dark purple robes of the Refining Demon Sect, she would look even more like an immortal.

Her aura was just perfectly captured.

As long as she hadn’t fallen to darkness, her presence wouldn’t change; no outfit could hide that.

“Young Master, Young Master! Other sisters lent me their clothes. How do they look?”

Ruo’er twirled a few times in front of Lin Nuo, a blossoming young maiden, charming and cute.

This made Lin Nuo take a second look, his pen coming to a halt.

“Pretty good. When dawn breaks, I’ll take you to pick out a few outfits in the market.”

“Yay! It’s been a while since we went shopping together. No matter what outfits Young Master picks for me, I’ll love them~”

“Don’t force it; if you don’t like it, just say so. We can always change it later. You are now a leader of the Fox Clan; you should have your own opinions, understand?”

“Mm… I get it… But when it comes to Young Master, my opinions feel insignificant. I must listen to your arrangements~”

Ruo’er shook her ears and smiled brightly.

This silly girl, really…

“How’s your health? Any abnormalities?”

“As for me, I feel fine, honestly. Just a little unaccustomed to my changed figure. Young Master, how long will it take for me to transform back?”

“Probably just a few days. Just be sure to rest; it’s time for you to recuperate.”

“Mm… Ruo’er wants to sleep with Young Master.”

“Not happening. You sleep alone.”

Lin Nuo outright rejected her. Such sleeping arrangements were not appropriate, especially with two other girls around. Besides, he had already caused some dissatisfaction by cultivating with Ruo’er, so he had to balance things out.

Of course, this “balance” didn’t mean dual cultivation; it was more about care.

After all, this kind of thing was quite exhausting.

“Mm… Why not, Young Master? It’s so rare to see you. Can’t we sleep together? Plus, if you’re tired at night, I can give you a massage. I’ll do my best to meet whatever needs you have.”

“Alright, alright, stop talking. I’m used to sleeping alone. Besides, with your current condition, you shouldn’t sleep with me.”

“Ah…? Is Young Master rejecting me because of my body?”

Ruo’er panicked, her large, watery eyes on the verge of tears.

“That’s not it…”

Lin Nuo rubbed his forehead, saying helplessly,

“I mean, you need to recuperate. We shouldn’t cultivate together for now.”

“We won’t cultivate, we’ll just sleep together. Shouldn’t be a problem.”

Ruo’er quickly responded, hoping to salvage the situation.

Of course, Lin Nuo still rejected her.

It was impossible to simply sleep together; during long nights, the two would end up getting close again. After all, Lin Nuo had quite a fondness for Ruo’er, and now that her body had matured, it was just not going to happen.

“Report! Demon Ruler! A Fox Immortal is here to seek an audience!”

At that moment, another Demon Practitioner shouted from outside. Lin Nuo stood up.

He had an inkling of who it was.

The wake-up had come faster than he anticipated.

“Ruo’er, stay here; don’t go out. I’ll be back soon.”

With that, Lin Nuo left the room, following the footsteps of the Demon Practitioner to meet the Fox Immortal.

If she came back repeatedly, he would have to take action again.

“Young Master…”

As the door closed, Ruo’er was left alone in the room.

She couldn’t help in any way, so she obediently listened to Young Master’s words.

“Young Master’s bed, hmm, lying down for a bit should be fine, right?”

Even when alone in the room, she looked around cautiously.

“Hehe, let me just feel Young Master’s scent.”

Ruo’er kicked off her shoes, climbed onto Lin Nuo’s bed, even discarding her clothes, curling up in his blanket.

“Even if I can’t sleep with Young Master, it’s not wrong to sleep in Young Master’s bed~”

She chuckled to herself, but at that moment, another young girl was on her way to Lin Nuo’s room.
