Chapter 994: Is It Not Allowed?

Chapter 994: Is It Not Allowed?

In the quiet of the deep night, under the bright full moon, Liu Shuqin saw Lin Nuo’s long-awaited smile and heard those heartfelt words, feeling as if she were dreaming—a sweet dream.

Lin Nuo wouldn’t say such things just to please her; he had no need to please anyone.

Her heartfelt emotion seemed to reveal the meaning of her life.

It turned out she was so important to him.

Yet she still didn’t understand why she was so important.

But deep down, Lin Nuo wouldn’t openly tell her, nor would he want someone who needed to ask about everything to be by his side.

Not being able to deduce such a simple thing was truly a concern. She was too busy blaming herself to notice the bright side.

In short, she was ecstatic, just like a girl who felt the affection of her secret crush.

“Junior Martial Brother, I…”

The sentimental Liu Shuqin was so moved that her words faltered as she stepped closer to Lin Nuo, her eyes shimmering with tears, gazing affectionately at him.

In front of this handsome and charming man, she couldn’t calm herself for a moment. She gazed lovingly and let her tender, delicate hand brush across his face.

Regardless of whether he was a demon or an immortal, being with him was enough!

“You know about the events of my past life. The future of the current you is completely uncertain, so the only thing you can grasp is yourself. Of course, as a demon, you should also understand that this path is arduous. You don’t need to change for me; just follow your original intentions.”

Lin Nuo said, but Liu Shuqin shook her head, softly replying:

“No, if a person’s direction is wrong, then there’s no need to persist. I realized my direction was wrong, and I changed it in time.”

“Is that so?”

Lin Nuo questioned her.

“Changing direction isn’t easy; beliefs aren’t easy to change either.”

“It’s indeed not easy. But when facing someone with a strong belief, it becomes easier to change. In any case, I believe in you, Junior Martial Brother, and accept the future you envision.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll tentatively believe you. What’s up? Are you thinking about something sad again?”

Lin Nuo gently lifted his hand, wiping away the tears at the corner of Liu Shuqin’s eyes.

“No, Junior Martial Brother, it’s… touching…”

Liu Shuqin grasped Lin Nuo’s outstretched arm, her beautiful face resting in his palm.

Such warm hands, such a sense of security.

Lin Nuo gently embraced her with his other hand, pulling her into his arms once more.

The moonlight bathed their faces, as if watching over and blessing this pair of lovers.

“Whether heavenly or demonic, to find the meaning of one’s life is something I yearn for. Even though I was highly regarded by my elders and respected by Junior Martial Brothers and Sisters at the Xuanyun Sect, I always felt a sense of distance between us. Or rather, the superficial admiration masked an inner loneliness. But beside you, there’s no such loneliness.”

“I think if you were with that naive kid, you wouldn’t feel that way.”

“Which naive kid? Did Junior Martial Brother misunderstand something…”

Liu Shuqin became flustered; she got along well with many people, did he really misunderstand?

“It’s me,” Lin Nuo added.

“You? Are you talking about the you from before?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm… Junior Martial Brother, I…”

“Just say it outright. I already know you couldn’t possibly have feelings for someone like that; there’s nothing in him worth your affection,” Lin Nuo said.

“That may be true. But, Junior Martial Brother, you shouldn’t belittle yourself. Back then, while I didn’t have that longing feeling for you, I couldn’t help but worry about you; it was like you were my little brother. I know you’ve always worked hard, yet often couldn’t get what you wanted, and everyone doubted you. But you kept pushing on. In fact, if you weren’t at the Xuanyun Sect and did something outside, maybe the results would have been better… I’m truly sorry, Junior Martial Brother; I did have selfish motives in the past, often neglecting you for my own path.”

“There’s no need to apologize. It’s human nature; I have no reason to expect anything from you. This is a world where the strong dominate.”

“Junior Martial Brother, don’t say that. The more you say it, the more uncomfortable I feel.”

The more Liu Shuqin spoke, the guiltier she felt, like her feelings for Lin Nuo were inadequate, and she accepted the blame.

“I never thought of giving up on you; I worry about your situation too and have felt pain for you. I actually regret not being there for you when you were at your lowest point. If I had been, my position in your heart would probably be different now.”

“It’s fine; things are good even now. Thus, I hope I have you in the world I exist in.”

Lin Nuo said, trying to soothe her guilt.

“Still, I can’t help but feel unsatisfied. Sigh, I clearly had the best opportunity back then…”

“Alright, let’s not discuss that topic; it’s meaningless. You’ve exhausted yourself today; although you’re recovering, it will take time. You should go back and rest.”

“Just go back? We finally have time alone together…”

Liu Shuqin was naturally reluctant; it was hard to escape from Ling Meng and Ruo’er, and now they were just going to practice swordplay and leave?

How could that be?!

At the very least, a little intimacy was in order.

“Junior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Brother, wait a bit longer, just a bit longer.”

Liu Shuqin looked up at Lin Nuo, her eyes filled with longing.

Seeing the look in Liu Shuqin’s eyes and hearing her somewhat rushed tone, Lin Nuo immediately figured it out.

It was just that sort of thing.

Under the shining moonlight, Liu Shuqin’s face and her watery, tender eyes appeared even more enchanting. Coupled with this topic, Lin Nuo’s affection for Liu Shuqin grew stronger.

“Do you mean…?”

Lin Nuo started to say, but Liu Shuqin nodded knowingly:

“Yes.”

“Wait, this place…”

“No, is it not allowed…?”

Those gentle four words, “Is it not allowed,” were like a deadly blow; Lin Nuo had always found it hard to resist, and now with a beauty in his embrace, it was even harder.

“However, this place really isn’t suitable; we’re not savages…” Lin Nuo responded.

“This is actually easy to resolve, Junior Martial Brother.”

With that, Liu Shuqin lightly waved her hand, and suddenly the scene changed; the grassy wilderness transformed into a beautiful garden filled with stunning flowers, and beside them appeared a soft bed amidst the blossoms.

“Wait… what are you doing?” Lin Nuo asked, confused.

“Hmm… I combined Demon Power with the Spirit Technique I practiced before and realized this transformation technique. For now, I can only conjure these.”

Liu Shuqin explained, and this enchanting flower garden was quite limited, just about the size of two rooms; everything else remained the same.

Truly a skilled practitioner, going through great efforts for mutual cultivation.

“So, Junior Martial Brother, still, is it not allowed…?”

Liu Shuqin flashed her glistening, lively eyes, filled with expectation.

“…Fine then…”

Lin Nuo sighed, surrendering.
