Chapter 995: A Sweet Evening

Now these girls can summon big beds anytime, anywhere! What excellent preparation—they’re the perfect helpers for home and travel!

Though Lin Nuo is multi-talented, he can’t do everything. He doesn’t know how to summon a bed out of thin air like this.

Moreover, he’s used to living in the wild, so he doesn’t need such luxuries. Whether he has it or not doesn’t matter to him.

At this moment, flowers were blooming, releasing delightful fragrances. Liu Shuqin held Lin Nuo’s hand, and when he agreed to her, her heart leaped with excitement. The beautiful night, combined with the blossoming flowers, was the perfect time for their sweetness.

However, they were still in an open area; if anyone looked over from afar, they could see them.

But that wasn’t an issue.

Lin Nuo waved his hand slightly, and in an instant, a protective spiritual barrier appeared around them, encasing them within the flower circle.

This barrier was both discreet and defensive; outsiders couldn’t see inside, and if anyone approached, Lin Nuo would be alerted, allowing him to respond accordingly.

Now, it was like they had spontaneously built a little room surrounded by flowers, transforming the gloomy mountain forest into a vibrant spring scene.

“Then, Junior Martial Brother, shall we?”

Liu Shuqin placed her hands on Lin Nuo’s shoulders, flashing a charming smile. Her hands then slid down to his clothes, gently beginning to undress him.

It was always like this. At first, Liu Shuqin was very gentle, even while undressing him—she wouldn’t show any roughness. But as their playful encounter progressed, that gentleness gradually faded away.

This was perfectly normal; after enjoying sweet fruits, her desires began to blossom as well.

Although the floral scent was strong, it couldn’t mask Liu Shuqin’s captivating fragrance, which was both refreshing and delightful.

Lin Nuo began to unfasten her dress, and soon they found themselves lying together on that soft, big bed, entwined.

This was the warmth of skin against skin—nothing could give Liu Shuqin a greater sense of security than being close to her handsome Junior Martial Brother, able to momentarily set aside all her worries.

Entwined with him, sharing intimacy, as the flowers bloomed for them, it felt like even the most barren land could yield a bountiful harvest. She listened to Lin Nuo’s heartbeat, feeling hope; the future wouldn’t be as cruel as in her past life. He would ultimately have a perfect ending, and she hoped to always be there to witness that moment.

They kissed each other, savoring the sweetness under the moonlight.

…

After a while, the moonlight above grew brighter, illuminating the faces of the boy and girl.

Having enjoyed a sweet tumult together, they embraced and admired the moonlight.

Honestly, this was his first experience lying on a bed outdoors while watching the moon; it was quite the fun adventure.

How wonderful! No need to lean against a tree or rock; here they had a bed, surrounded by blooming flowers—it felt utterly dreamy.

He realized he was slowly starting to appreciate these natural scenes. In the past, he had no interest in such leisure; in his previous life, the brutal killings felt more pleasing. But now, his mindset had somewhat shifted.

It wasn’t his own doing; it was the influence of others, the environment, and fate that changed him.

Sometimes, he thought this tranquil life didn’t seem so bad. The world’s chaos had nothing to do with him, much like when he went fishing, letting his mind go blank, thinking of nothing.

And now, he had a beauty by his side—a true blessing.

“Junior Martial Brother, I’ve just realized that from this angle, the moon looks even more beautiful.”

Liu Shuqin leaned against Lin Nuo; her soft, fair skin stirred emotions within him.

He found that his endurance had extended, the cooldown reduced. This allowed her to enjoy more sweet moments, but he hadn’t managed to decrease his own consumption. If they continued this way, he might become fatigued.

The theory of mutual cultivation suggested shared benefits, but in reality, it felt like only one side gained; he himself felt no improvements.

Perhaps this was what made one strong—they didn’t need such methods to enhance themselves; they could only bestow blessings upon the weaker.

Hmm, yes, the strong don’t require others to rise.

“Junior Martial Brother, have you ever thought about one day going to a secluded mountain forest, building a little wooden house, and living a life free from worldly disputes, a simple one, until we grow old together?”

Liu Shuqin gazed into Lin Nuo’s profile, her eyes shimmering. Lin Nuo didn’t reply; he just stared at the full moon above, seemingly lost in thought.

Retreating, isolating oneself?

He often read about ancient sages retreating to the mountains, disregarding the world’s accolades and wealth, simply because they possessed peaceful and distant hearts.

But did he have that?

He had thought about it, but in this world of cultivation, he couldn’t just retreat to the mountains.

The war between immortals and demons was unrelenting, and now there was even a Demon Realm. If he withdrew to the mountains, who knew when the world might change dramatically? He would only be left vulnerable.

No retreat was possible.

After a moment, Lin Nuo finally spoke:

“I’ve thought about it. But, that’s not a life I can possess.”

“True. Junior Martial Brother has been through so much. Suddenly saying to let go is indeed difficult. But tell me, if everything were resolved, and no one threatened you ever again, would you choose that life?”

“…”

Lin Nuo fell silent again—everything resolved…

He figured that would probably mean he was dead and had just withdrawn from the world.

But that was just a hypothesis.

“Perhaps.”

Lin Nuo revealed a long-lost smile. He had smiled many times tonight—not a sinister or cold smile, but one that came directly from his heart.

Since leaving Wind Sea Forest for trials, Liu Shuqin hadn’t seen Lin Nuo smile often—not as the Demon Ruler, at least. The smiles he had shared before were simply those of an inexperienced young master. That young master was not the one she yearned for.

Seeing her Junior Martial Brother smile made him even more handsome, making Liu Shuqin even more enchanted, unable to resist kissing him.

She leaned in.

“Hm… Perhaps it’s best to control ourselves a bit during our chats.”

Lin Nuo sighed, teasingly.

“Hm… Junior Martial Brother, you’re so handsome tonight; I couldn’t help myself… but you wouldn’t mind, right?”

“If I mind, it wouldn’t change anything. Whatever.”

Lin Nuo turned his head and gently lifted her chin.

“Hm…”

The moonlight was just right; the depth of his eyes was utterly captivating. It was supposed to be Lin Nuo kissing her, but Liu Shuqin took the initiative, kissing him directly.

After resting a bit, they resumed kissing passionately, rolling sweetly together. Nearby, the flowers bloomed even more, seemingly cheering for their sweetness.

However, while they enjoyed their bliss, trouble brewed in the cave…

…

“What’s wrong with you?”

Bang!

A guard Demon Practitioner suddenly attacked another, knocking them to the ground.

“Heh.”

A wicked smile crept across his face.
