NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 204
204. I Just Want to Kill You
Lin Nuo thought, this matter should have come.
Yes, it concerns Li Ruo’er’s immortal fate.
Li Ruo’er did not become the enchanting fox immortal without reason; there were always some opportunities.
And this opportunity was the gaze of an immortal.
Zigu Peak, an immortal mountain, would have immortals visiting the Xuanyun Sect every few years, and some disciples would always try to attract the attention of the immortals because there was a chance to go to Zigu Peak to cultivate.
Few disciples could go to Zigu Peak. Even the strongest of their generation, Qin Shili, did not catch the eye of the immortals.
Of course, she didn’t seem to care either.
And Li Ruo’er’s immortal fate was due to an immortal’s visit. She was noticed by the immortal and had a brief encounter, which laid the groundwork for her becoming an immortal after Lin Nuo left the Xuanyun Sect.
Li Ruo’er lost her young master and her support. At that time, the immortal from Zigu Peak came again, and Li Ruo’er finally entered the immortal path.
And at this time, there would be a plot.
Li Ruo’er’s adoptive father lost his daughter in a gamble. Her adoptive father was a gambler who didn’t care about family matters. Li Ruo’er was raised by her adoptive mother, and the two depended on each other. Her adoptive father had been imprisoned before and continued to gamble after being released, selling off all valuable things at home.
Li Ruo’er had been working with her adoptive mother to earn money since she was a child. Li Ruo’er was willing to follow Lin Nuo for a reason. No matter how bad Lin Nuo was, he was still the third young master of the Lin family, with some money. He took a fancy to Li Ruo’er and recruited her as a maid, helping Li Ruo’er and her adoptive mother through difficult times.
Of course, for Lin Nuo, it was actually insignificant. He had money, but he just wanted to hire a white fox midget as a maid, not knowing he would help her through a difficult time.
Her foster father gambled her away, and then these casino people came to collect the debt. At that time, Lin Nuo couldn’t come up with that much money, so he tried to gamble it back with his cleverness.
As a result, the other side was a seasoned cheater. He didn’t win back the money and was ridiculed and humiliated, losing all face.
Of course, in his previous life, it wasn’t the first time he had been humiliated. He had always been a waste, until he left the Xuan Yun Sect and jumped into the Demon Spring to become a demon, things started to improve.
If he had a righteous path in his previous life, why would he want to be a villain?
He couldn’t save Li Ruo’er. Later, an immortal intervened and solved the matter with legitimate means (rare spirit stones). Of course, Lin Nuo said he would repay the favor, but he didn’t let Li Ruo’er leave. Li Ruo’er was also willing to continue following Lin Nuo as his maid, but Lin Nuo’s reputation as a waste became even worse.
He couldn’t even protect his own maid, which was utterly disgraceful.
Moreover, his incompetence delayed others’ future, making his reputation even worse.
It was indeed very shameful. Thinking back now, he felt that his past self was incompetent, trying to show off despite his lack of ability, resulting in self-humiliation.
But now it’s different.
A great villain does not allow others to take his things. The humiliation he suffered, it’s time to avenge it.
Li Ruo’er definitely wouldn’t leave, but this matter would no longer be handled by an immortal.
He would rely on his own strength, the strength of a great villain.
“Do you know Lin Nuo?” the big man repeated his question.
“Lin Nuo? That’s me.” Lin Nuo replied straightforwardly.
“You are Lin Nuo?”
The big men sized up Lin Nuo, dressed in white, clean and neat, with a sword at his waist, near Tianling Mountain, indeed looked like a cultivator.
This was great, searching high and low only to find it effortlessly. They didn’t even need to request to enter Tianling Mountain to meet Lin Nuo, saving some effort.
“Is your maid named Li Ruo’er, the foster daughter of Li Kun?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
Lin Nuo pretended to be unaware and asked.
At this moment, a sturdy man took out an IOU from his pocket, with the fingerprint of Li Ruo’er’s foster father on it, and handed it to Lin Nuo.
“Li Kun owes a huge debt in our casino and has currently pawned his foster daughter Li Ruo’er as a gambling debt. Now you have two choices: one, you pay off his debt; two, you hand over Li Ruo’er. Black and white with fingerprints, your Xuan Yun Sect always advocates reasoning, surely you won’t renege on a debt.”
The big man raised his voice when saying the last sentence, emphasizing the point. These streetwise people, now with the IOU and evidence, dealing with the righteous Xuan Yun Sect was not too simple.
A moral attack, you are a disciple of Xuan Yun Sect or the third young master of the Lin family, advocating reasoning, surely you won’t renege on a debt, not worried about not getting the money at all.
Lin Nuo took the IOU and looked at it. It indeed stated the matter of pawning Li Ruo’er, with fingerprints.
He didn’t bother to verify its authenticity, as it didn’t matter to him.
He was not a gentleman, wouldn’t care about these IOU evidences. This IOU was for the casino people to see.
“Indeed, the disciples of Xuan Yun Sect advocate reasoning.”
Lin Nuo smoothly put the IOU into his pocket, a cold smile appearing on his face, “But I am not.”
Lin Nuo immediately punched the big man in front of him. The punch was so powerful that it sent the 200-pound strongman from Puhan Country flying.
After all, he was a third-tier expert, so beating a big man was still manageable.
“What are you doing!”
The other big men were furious and were about to take action, but some Soul-Numbing Needles flew out from Lin Nuo’s sleeve, piercing their bodies, rendering them immobile.
“This… you, as a disciple of Xuan Yun Sect, you wouldn’t want to renege on your debt, would you? And you even hit people!”
“Why would I hit you?”
Lin Nuo drew the sharp sword from his waist and smiled, “I just want to kill you.”
The sword fell, blood splattered, and the crowd fell, all losing their breath.
Killing people near Tianling Mountain was indeed a first, and it was quite thrilling.
According to procedure, the people killed should be burned.
This time was no different, Lin Nuo was going to burn their bodies.
In an instant, a silver-haired girl flew down from the mountain, and Lin Nuo instinctively raised his blood-stained sword again.
“Hmm? It’s you again?”
“Yes, it’s me. I’ve been waiting for you to come back, but you took too long.”
Qin Shili landed, her gaze shifting to the corpses on the ground, “Why did you kill them?”
“No reason.”
Lin Nuo sheathed his sword. He couldn’t beat Qin Shili in a fight, so he could only run away.
“Are you planning to report me for indiscriminate killing?”
“No, you must have your reasons for killing them. Maybe they were heinous villains. I don’t intend to delve into it.”
Qin Shili said coldly, “However, having corpses here is not good. They need to be dealt with.”
“Yes, I plan to burn them.”
“Burning them is easy to be discovered. I’ll use a little magic.”
Qin Shili waved her hand lightly, and an ice layer emerged, enveloping them all.
She continued:
“Burn their bodies inside here. People outside won’t be able to see what’s happening inside. Go ahead and burn them.”
