chapter 119
119. Caught Off Guard
“This doesn’t sound like something you would say.”
Although the phrase “Actually, if it’s you, I would be willing” was quite flirtatious, Lin Nuo felt it wasn’t truly what Liu Shuqin meant.
She would speak words of superficial respect, as was the etiquette of a great household.
“Because I’ve changed, truly, just like you, I’ve changed.”
“Changed? What triggered it?”
“Because of you.”
“Me? Just because I saved you? I’ve told you before, I actually don’t care about your life or death. It’s just that this time, I wanted you to live.”
“Then why this time?”
The senior sister pressed on, puzzled by this question herself.
“You don’t need to know.”
The matter of his rebirth, he would not tell anyone, nor did he have any reason to.
In his previous life, when he was a great villain, he had already gone solo. He was a group unto himself, and no one had the right to interfere with his thoughts.
Originally, Liu Shuqin had died a few days ago, and in the unfolding plot, she didn’t exist.
But everything had changed, or perhaps Liu Shuqin’s luck might trigger outcomes he couldn’t predict.
But it didn’t matter, Liu Shuqin’s luck still didn’t affect his role as the antagonist.
Liu Shuqin sighed, “Well then, no matter what, this time has been enough. Moreover, my change is because of you, including my words and actions, not just because you saved me this time. All in all, the knee pillow you mentioned, at first, I thought it was indecent, but now, I think it’s not bad, at least it brought us a bit closer.”
“As you wish, if you’re willing, I’m not at a loss.”
Lin Nuo didn’t argue with her anymore. He had long understood this theory: arguing with a girl to the end is a fool’s behavior.
Lying down wasn’t too bad, taking a little rest.
The side effects of the Fierce Burst Pill were really fierce. Just went out to play two Unparalleled, wiped out a bunch of people, and ended up like this.
Like a god during the deed, soft as cotton afterward.
Following the current trend, he’d have to rest for several days. Report the work injury, at least get enough pork floss buns.
“Junior brother, the pill you took on the battlefield, it was the Fierce Burst Pill, right? It seemed like the enemy general was shouting that.”
“Yes.”
Lin Nuo didn’t intend to hide it, stating plainly, “So that’s why I’ve become like this.”
“The Fierce Burst Pill is a forbidden drug that can temporarily enhance a person’s spiritual power and strength, but after using it, it brings severe side effects, the body will suffer damage, and in serious cases, it can be life-threatening. Junior brother, you’re too reckless.”
“What else could I do? Do you think I had a choice?”
“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. But now, you might even have trouble walking, so I can only offer a little help to ease my junior brother’s worries.”
Liu Shuqin suddenly closed her eyes and held her breath, mobilizing the spiritual veins and roots within her body. The spiritual power surged in her chest, and then Liu Shuqin gently opened her eyes.
“Junior brother, I’ll exert a little effort to help you recover.”
Liu Shuqin lightly lifted her hair to the side and slowly bowed her head, “Junior brother, open your mouth.”
“Why should I open my mouth?”
“Just open it, I’ll help you recuperate.”
“If there’s a miraculous elixir, just bring it out, I can take it myself.”
“Sigh, never mind.”
Liu Shuqin didn’t plan to argue with Lin Nuo anymore. Her head quickly dropped, and taking advantage of Lin Nuo’s unpreparedness, she kissed his lips.
“Mmm… Mmm…”
Lin Nuo was unclear about the situation, suddenly kissed by Liu Shuqin, and it wasn’t just a simple peck on the lips, but a prolonged kiss.
However, Lin Nuo was weak in his limbs and couldn’t move at all, just being kissed by Liu Shuqin.
He, Lin someone, was truly shocked. A sudden kiss from the senior sister was indeed out of the ordinary.
But then he suddenly felt a warm, spherical object drifting from the gap between his lips into his mouth, and then into his body. His entire body felt a comfortable warmth, and his limbs suddenly regained some sensation.
Liu Shuqin then moved away from Lin Nuo’s mouth, with a hint of apology: “Sorry, junior brother, for the sudden offense.”
“What was that just now?”
Lin Nuo felt his body getting better, at least he could move a little now.
“That was my Body Spirit Essence. I have a unique physique. Before I started my training, I practiced body techniques. Usually, I absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon, which can form Body Spirit Essence within me. That small spirit sphere that just entered your body, with Body Spirit Essence to protect me, I can withstand cold and heat, and my body is much better than that of an ordinary cultivator. Body Spirit Essence needs a host body, otherwise, it will dissipate, so I transferred it to you in the way I just did, trying to minimize the exposure of Body Spirit Essence to the air. With Body Spirit Essence, your body will recover quickly.”
“You gave it to me, what will you use?”
“It’s okay, my body can reform Body Spirit Essence. In about half a year, new Body Spirit Essence will form. I don’t need Body Spirit Essence to nourish my body right now, it’s fine.”
Lin Nuo roughly understood what was going on. So she was transferring Body Spirit Essence to him, which is why he could now move his limbs a bit, not completely like half a dead person.
“Explain beforehand next time, it was too sudden.”
“Don’t you also do unexpected things without saying, junior brother? I was just learning from you.”
Liu Shuqin covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, seemingly not taking the kiss seriously at all.
This Liu Shuqin, she actually has some mischievous thoughts too.
Well, the Body Spirit Essence can help his body recover, so he won’t have to lie here like a corpse all day.
But walking is still difficult for him, he needs someone to support him.
So Liu Shuqin helped him back.
…
Su Kexin led people to search for Lin Nuo and Liu Shuqin’s whereabouts. After finding no clues, she became anxious. Liu Shuqin suddenly went to the base, and she suspected that Liu Shuqin had perished in the natural disaster meteorite, while Lin Nuo went to the south side of Hu City. However, the alien army had been defeated, and Lin Nuo’s figure was nowhere to be seen. Even if he died, at least his body should be found, but unfortunately, there was none, she couldn’t find him at all.
“Miss Su, you needn’t worry too much; we have no evidence yet that your senior brother and sister have perished,” Luo Xiaoxue consoled the anxious Su Kexin.
“But we’ve searched all around here and couldn’t find them… If they were alive, they would surely return…”
However, just as Su Kexin finished speaking, a soldier’s report came from outside.
“Report, Miss Su, Young Master Lin and Miss Liu have returned!”
Hearing this news, Su Kexin excitedly ran out and indeed saw Lin Nuo and Liu Shuqin. However, Lin Nuo looked pale and frail, needing the support of Liu Shuqin.
“Senior brother, eldest senior sister, it’s so wonderful to see you both, it’s really great! What’s wrong with you? You both seem unwell, come inside quickly.”
Su Kexin hurried to support Lin Nuo, who was like a disabled person, propped up by two beautiful young ladies on either side.
At this moment, Luo Xiaoxue also came out and saw the familiar faces.
It was Lin Fanpai, the great hero Lin!
