NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 212
212. Lin Nuo, the Unappreciative
The immortals of Zigu Peak were powerful and renowned. Many disciples from various sects longed to catch their eye and go to Zigu Peak for training, which would surely lead to great achievements and one day becoming an immortal.
Becoming an immortal was the aspiration of most sect disciples, or rather, it was their transformative goal, the watershed of their cultivation.
Being able to converse with the immortals of Zigu Peak was already a great fortune, let alone the immortals actively requesting a meeting.
If it were other disciples, they would definitely rush over. This was an opportunity that had to be seized.
Moreover, the immortals waiting specifically was an immense fortune.
However, Lin Nuo, a third-tier novice, unappreciative, said to let others keep waiting while he went back to sleep.
If this got out, there would surely be a lot of backhanded criticism, calling him unappreciative, arrogant, and aloof.
But he didn’t care. He never had a good impression of immortals. Let them wait. If they couldn’t wait, they could leave. If they didn’t have this bit of sincerity, how could they think of taking Li Ruo’er away?
“Young master, Ruo’er heard that many disciples from various sects long to be chosen by the immortals of Zigu Peak~”
“Yes, but what does that have to do with me?”
“Doesn’t young master want it? Young master should aspire to become an immortal, right?”
“No, and stop saying I aspire to become an immortal. It’s meaningless.”
Lin Nuo took out a pancake from his pocket and handed it to Li Ruo’er. “Eat it. I brought it from outside.”
“Thank you, young master~!”
Li Ruo’er’s eyes lit up, her fluffy big ears kept shaking. This was her favorite food, but it wasn’t sold nearby. If she wanted to eat it, she had to go to a faraway town.
Moreover, she couldn’t fly with a sword or anything, it would take a long time to get there, and the delicacies in the town were expensive. She couldn’t bear to spend the money.
Unexpectedly, the young master brought a portion back when he went out. She was happy~
“Young master, have you eaten? Let me cook something for you.”
“I’ve eaten.”
“Oh oh~ Young master, aren’t you going to see the two immortal seniors? With your strength, there might be some opportunities~”
“It’s not that I won’t see them, but not now. Go tell them to keep waiting. If they can’t wait, they can leave.”
Lin Nuo stopped in front of the door, took out the key, and opened it.
The long-lost room, the long-lost smell, he was finally back.
Forget everything else, sleep first.
“Young master, young master~”
Li Ruo’er tugged at Lin Nuo’s sleeve, smiling, “How about we sleep together~ It seems like it’s been a long time since we slept together~”
Lin Nuo looked at the petite and exquisite Li Ruo’er, recalling the days when he was bedridden from being drained. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth:
“Next time, for sure.”
Then he closed the door and added two more locks.
“Next time, for sure~ Well, then I’ll wait for next time~”
Thinking about sleeping with the young master, Li Ruo’er was very happy. Thinking about the young master’s bed, the young master’s strong chest, it was still vivid in her mind.
The young master must be too tired. Next time, next time will be fine~
Now she needed to convey the young master’s words to the two waiting immortals, but it was indeed difficult to speak.
Because the two immortals had been patiently waiting for many days, and then the young master came back and had to sleep, not seeing them. From the perspective of etiquette, it was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
The young master was powerful and had made many achievements. He was the face of the Xuan Yun Sect. Saying such words was too rude.
But the young master had the confidence to make the immortals wait. As his maid, she couldn’t convey the words exactly as they were. She had to embellish them a bit.
Just say the young master was injured and needed to recuperate, and couldn’t meet them for the time being. The immortals would surely understand and be reasonable.
Li Ruo’er shook her big ears and hopped away.
In the room, Lin Nuo took off the white robe of the Xuan Yun Sect and put the sword aside.
“Huh? What’s going on? Didn’t I throw it under the bed?”
Lin Nuo suddenly found the silver Phoenix Sword on the table, very strange. It should have been collecting dust under the bed.
Moreover, there was no dust or dirt on its surface, it was very clean, cleaner than his current sword.
Maybe Li Ruo’er cleaned the room and took the sword out to clean it.
After all, he knew he would be away for a long time this time, so he gave Li Ruo’er the key to clean the room, so he wouldn’t have to live with dust when he came back.
In fact, this Phoenix Sword has good material and sufficient spirituality. Ignoring the original intention of its forging, it is a good sword.
At least better than his current sword.
He now has three swords: one used within the Xuan Yun Sect, one Phoenix Sword, and one for outings. Using different swords for different occasions is the deep consideration a great villain should have.
“Sleep.”
Lin Nuo lifted the quilt, lay on the bed, and gradually fell into a dream.
…
It was a treacherous and gloomy valley, where the great demon, clad in black battle armor, shuttled between the peaks and valleys.
“Once I pass this path, I can leave here. Damn immortals, once I recover, you all will die.”
The great demon gritted his teeth, covering the wounded and bleeding parts of his body. After several fierce battles, he was severely injured, and blood kept flowing out.
He had killed many people and was hunted by many. After wandering back and forth in the dark valley, he finally got rid of them, left the valley, regrouped, and planned to kill his way back.
Almost there, just ahead.
Seeing no one chasing him and the exit ahead, the demon was ecstatic.
However, in the next moment, he saw a girl in a glazed fairy dress descending from the sky.
The girl had a peerless face, and the dense immortal aura quickly dissipated, making the demon very uncomfortable.
The demon gritted his teeth again, immediately grasped the demon sword, and glared angrily at the descending girl.
“Fox Fairy? Ha, it’s you.”
The demon recognized her. Two years after he left the Xuan Yun Sect and became a demon, he had heard of this Fox Fairy’s great name.
He did not expect that she could ascend to the renowned Fox Fairy, and still be on the opposite side of him.
That was normal, after all, following the immortals in Zifeng Valley was indeed better than following him. Wasn’t the peerless Fox Fairy better than a humble maid?
Immortals and demons are different paths. These immortals wished for his death. It was reasonable to arrange a fairy to ambush at the hidden exit. She was also here to take his life.
Could he kill her? It would be difficult, after all, he was severely injured, and his demon soul power was insufficient.
But he definitely couldn’t retreat, nor could he. There were pursuers behind him, retreating would mean death.
No choice, he could only fight.
“Make your move, let’s end this quickly. Either you die or I perish.”
The demon raised the demon sword, gathering all the remaining demon soul power into the sword, ready for the final battle.
The Fox Fairy’s tender gaze fell on the severely injured demon, showing a weak expression, somewhat pitying him. After many years, seeing this person again was like meeting an enemy.
The Fox Fairy had no intention of fighting the demon, only softly uttered two words:
“Young Master.”
