chapter 217
217. The Knee Pillow You Like
The two parties reached an agreement. Dong Xiyan was willing to stay temporarily and teach Li Ruoruo the introductory cultivation methods, and when she was ready for Purple Peak Valley, she would take her there.
Of course, Lin Nuo would go as well.
Purple Peak Valley was where immortals practiced cultivation. As a candidate for demonhood, it wasn’t really suitable for him to go there, but this was also preparation to crush these immortals in advance.
Who knew? He might run into a lot of familiar faces.
The immortals of Purple Peak Valley, none of them wanted him dead. But thinking about how they would be furious when they found out that the world-destroying great demon lord had once grown up brightly and then came to their Purple Peak Valley, even stealing the fox immortal, they would surely be furious.
In order to match Lin Nuo, Li Ruoruo worked diligently, coming and going early and late, hoping to one day be able to fly together with Lin Nuo.
This flying together referred to dual-person ascension.
Of course, while cultivating, Li Ruo’er still remembered her duties as a maid, cooking, cleaning, and not missing a single task.
The Zifeng Valley Immortal Cultivation Method is a secret. Tianling Mountain is extremely vast. Dong Xiyan applied to Master Zhao for a quiet place to teach Li Ruo’er in peace and set up a barrier so that other Xuanyun Sect disciples could not approach.
“Wow, that’s really impressive, even setting up a barrier.”
Lin Nuo, munching on a meat floss bun, looked at the distant barrier and said disdainfully.
Teaching someone and setting up a barrier to prevent outsiders from entering, only you immortals would do something so impressive.
Lin Nuo thought these immortals were too pretentious. Who would steal your entry-level cultivation method? Besides, cultivating the entry-level method without further training would conflict with his original practice, and who knows, he might end up bedridden with high blood pressure one day.
The Xuanyun Sect disciples were all racing against time to improve their cultivation, except for this villain named Lin, who was hiding in a corner drinking cold water and eating meat floss buns.
Cultivation? What cultivation? After working so hard outside for so long, what’s wrong with enjoying a bit?
“So, you’re here?”
Hearing a gentle voice, Lin Nuo looked over.
It was the elegant and dignified senior sister Liu Shuqin, walking over lightly.
“How did you find me?”
“Just by chance.”
“Alright, by chance.”
Lin Nuo thought that this place he found was rarely visited by disciples, and it should be said that only he was bored enough to come here. With Liu Shuqin’s style, she definitely wouldn’t be so bored.
But she said it was a coincidence, so he could only listen.
“Junior brother, may I sit next to you?”
“Feel free.”
Liu Shuqin gently adjusted her dress and sat beside Lin Nuo, exuding a faint fragrance that was refreshing.
Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin had returned to Tianling Mountain long ago. They thought Lin Nuo would return too, but they didn’t expect him to be late and come back with Qin Shili.
As for where Lin Nuo went, they knew too. The gambling house, to win back Li Ruo’er’s ownership.
Why did they know? Because Qin Shili mentioned it repeatedly, emphasizing that she was the only one who went with him.
Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin felt bad, as if they had been intercepted halfway.
“Junior brother, where have you been these days?”
“Just doing some trivial things, like helping people find cats and dogs, catching thieves, the biggest thing was being a bodyguard to transport treasures, which took a bit longer.”
Lin Nuo casually made things up. When it came to making things up, he was the best in Xuanyun Sect, no need for a draft.
“Oh, indeed, for you, these are trivial matters, but for those people you saved, it means a lot.”
Liu Shuqin gently stroked her hair and smiled, “The Holy Altar is safe, Zhouling City is safe, we are all safe. Those who made contributions will be remembered by the people, but you, you just left without leaving your name or merit.”
“What nonsense?”
Lin Nuo heard the hidden meaning in her words, but of course, he would never admit it. Who would want to admit to being the hero of the Holy Altar, such an embarrassing thing?
“You don’t need to hide it. Your dining habits and other behaviors at that time have already been told to me. Wu Yingge is Lin Nuo. I won’t say it out loud, though, since you have your own reasons.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Lin Nuo continued to play dumb. Anyway, since it wasn’t exposed right then and there, no matter what you said, Lin Nuo would just deny it. What, are you going to travel back in time and expose Wu Yingge?
“Also, some things are not exactly as you think.”
“Alright, alright, I really don’t know the truth, so I can only guess wildly. Just take it as me talking nonsense. The weather today is perfect, with a cool breeze. I remember Junior Brother liked to nap under the trees in the afternoon. It’s probably around the time for his nap now, right?”
“About right. Sorry, I can’t accompany you.”
“It’s fine, I can stay with you.”
Liu Shuqin knelt down and sat properly, gently patting her fair thigh.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Nuo asked.
“I always remember that you like thigh pillows.”
“Indeed, but…”
“Is it that I’m not worthy, that I don’t have the right?”
“It’s not that.”
“Well, then it’s fine, right? Wasn’t the last time pretty good?”
The “last time” referred to when Lin Nuo had taken the Fierce Explosion Pill and felt exhausted all over. That was when Liu Shuqin had given him a thigh pillow for the first time.
Liu Shuqin directly used her spiritual power on Lin Nuo, as if there were an invisible force pushing him down. His head landed right on her thigh.
There was no need to talk about manners and gentleness anymore. It was because she had adhered too much to etiquette that she had been ambushed by Qin Shili over and over again.
In fact, Junior Brother liked the thigh pillow; he just cared about his face. If she were a little firmer and showed that she was willing, then he could accept it without guilt.
This was totally unexpected for Lin Nuo. After all, with Liu Shuqin’s personality and style, she was someone who valued etiquette and wouldn’t act so rashly.
But she had used magic, and that was pushing for the thigh pillow.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Don’t move, lie down properly, and rest well.”
Liu Shuqin reached out with her delicate hand to gently stroke Lin Nuo’s hair, and she was also softly massaging his head.
Her soft thigh, her skilled massage technique, suddenly made Lin Nuo feel somewhat comfortable.
Liu Shuqin was like a gentle older sister, tenderly taking care of Lin Nuo.
“If something happens in the future, please communicate with me. I will listen to your troubles and hope to understand. If you like thigh pillows, just give me a signal, and I’ll come.”
“Actually, I used to just say it casually.”
“But I took it seriously. If you feel uncomfortable, we can stop. Of course, if you don’t say anything, I’ll assume you accept my thigh pillow.”
“Honestly, you’re a girl, you’re at a disadvantage, but I won’t lose anything, so go ahead.”
Lin Nuo had no intention of resisting. When a beautiful girl offers a thigh pillow, why refuse?
The cool breeze was refreshing, but it suddenly turned cold.
Has the weather changed?
No, it was someone’s aura.
“Found you, but it seems I have interrupted you two. In that case, please stop.”
Qin Shili emerged from the forest, coldly staring at Lin Nuo and the other person.
