NOVEL WEB chapter 149
149. The Despicable Man!
The rich aroma hit her nostrils, and the weakened Lingmeng’s stomach couldn’t help but growl.
Indeed, one’s strength could surge during an outburst, but such a sudden increase comes with a great cost. Having been unconscious for so long, Lingmeng naturally felt hungry and exhausted.
The surroundings were a scene of devastation, vastly different from her memories before fainting. There must have been a earth-shattering battle here.
But what kind of force could have caused this desolation?
Unclear, she had no recollection, presumably having passed out during the fight.
As for the fallen Taoist priests, they had come to kill her, leaving her defenseless.
Were they dead? Or what?
She didn’t know, without any clue.
And that aroma, what could be so fragrant?
Linuo heard Lingmeng’s murmur, turned his head, and realized she was awake.
And at that moment, Lingmeng also saw Linuo’s face.
A dark face with scars, fierce eyes gleaming with spirit, the look of someone who’s been through the underworld.
She remembered encountering him before; he seemed to have brought those foul Taoist priests to kill her, and even took liberties with her along the way.
Such a hateful man, she thought, anger rising within her, teeth clenched, like a startled kitten glaring at its enemy.
Linuo glanced at her and said coldly:
“Wake up? How did you sleep?”
“What have you done to me?!”
Ling Meng recalled the scene where Lin Nuo had treated her lightly before, and subconsciously covered her chest.
It was almost nightfall, and she had been unconscious for half a day. Adding to that, her clothes were torn and tattered, and she had no idea what this man had done to her while she was unconscious.
Lin Nuo saw Ling Meng’s angry expression and laughed. At this moment, shouldn’t he take out a cigarette to express his post-coital satisfaction and casually say “Next”?
Lin Nuo seemed to have read her thoughts, and thought that she must have misinterpreted what he did to her while she was unconscious, thinking he had done something big.
Well, if she wanted to say he was being frivolous and playing around, she was doing it to him too, treating him like a toy queen.
It seemed like she didn’t remember what happened when she was unconscious.
As expected, the brain is unconscious during the explosive stage.
Lin Nuo smirked, “You’re thinking too much, you need to be treated for paranoid delusions.”
“You’re still denying it, you treated me lightly before, and now you must have done something despicable to me while I was unconscious.”
“Even if that’s the case, what do you plan to do now?”
“Kill you.”
Ling Meng gritted her teeth, trying to use her spiritual energy to attack Lin Nuo, but alas, she had consumed too much energy before, and now she had no spare energy to control.
Not to mention using her spiritual energy, even her limbs could only barely move. Adding to her exhaustion, hunger, and fatigue, she was completely unable to fight back against Lin Nuo.
“Do you think you have the ability?”
Lin Nuo’s mouth curled up into a cold smile, “I’m hungry, I just grilled some meat, let’s eat some.”
“No need for your pretenses, you must have put something in the meat or poisoned it.”
“You’re questioning me, I’ll think about harming you, and you won’t be able to survive. Don’t eat, I’ll save myself the trouble.”
Lin Nuo held up a rack with grilled meat, took a big bite, and burned some water to prevent choking.
The meat was still fragrant, and eating wild-grilled meat was the only way to get that flavor. What was Lin family, or the Xuan Yun Gate, doing? It was all just meat.
Watching Lin Nuo eat, Ling Meng couldn’t help but lick her lips, and her stomach started to rumble again.
Hmm, why would she possibly accept an enemy’s food, especially from someone who had humiliated and treated her lightly?
What’s more, she was a member of the Refining Demon Sect, with a natural talent for demon energy, how could she stoop to eating such wild-grilled meat? This would be a shame for the Refining Demon Sect, where would she have the face to stay?
However, her hunger grew louder and louder, and even though the two people were at a distance, Lin Nuo could still hear it.
“Ah.”
Lin Nuo could only smile and laugh, seeing how long she could hold out.
He deliberately raised the fork with grilled meat, facing Ling Meng, and exaggeratedly chewed, making a loud eating sound.
Ling Meng closed her eyes and covered her ears, trying not to be tempted by his food.
As a result, she automatically imagined the scene of Lin Nuo eating, and her stomach rumbled even louder.
“Can’t you eat somewhere else?!”
Ling Meng couldn’t stand him anymore, furiously shouting.
“Is this your turf or something? Who are you to control me?”
Lin Nuo ignored her, continuing to gnaw on his grilled meat, infuriating Ling Meng to the point of explosion.
Such a detestable man, she had never suffered such humiliation before. This disgrace must be etched in her heart, to be avenged at the first opportunity!
But the angrier she got, the hungrier she became, her stomach growling louder, her face flushing with shame.
She wanted to kill him to quench her rage! But her body was still weak, with hardly any spiritual power left to command.
And having crossed hands with him before, she couldn’t deny his skill; a rash attack would not be advantageous.
Lin Nuo was about to finish his grilled meat when suddenly, he heard the rustling of the wind and grass nearby.
His nerves instantly tensed, he threw away the meat, and quickly retreated to one side.
“Huh?”
Ling Meng heard footsteps and slowly opened her eyes.
The youth with the dark scarred face had run away.
Why did he run?
Ling Meng couldn’t understand, but soon, three cloaked men emerged from the woods, their cloaks bearing strange patterns on the chest and shoulders.
They were disciples of the Demon Refining Sect.
“It’s the young master, the young master is over there!”
The three disciples spotted Ling Meng leaning against the rock wall and quickly approached her.
Ling Meng slowly stood up, trying to maintain her former dignity, not to lose composure in front of them even in her weakened state.
“Young master, how are you feeling?” the disciples asked with concern.
“Fairly well, I killed the Taoist, using up some spiritual power, but they were just nobodies, not a big deal.”
“Oh, that’s good. We heard the young master was chased to this mountain by three Taoists, so we hurried over. Now that the young master is safe, let’s return,” the three Demon Refining Sect disciples looked at each other, nodded, and respectfully said to Ling Meng.
“Alright.”
Ling Meng secretly rejoiced, the disciples had arrived just in time, driving away that foul-faced man. She would recuperate well once back, restore her condition, and definitely annihilate that stinking man later, to erase the humiliation of the past.
However, Ling Meng hadn’t gone far when the three Demon Refining Sect disciples suddenly stopped.
“Hmm? What’s wrong, why have you stopped all of a sudden?”
“We’ve arrived, young master.”
“Arrived? Where? We haven’t returned yet.”
“Your final resting place.”
In an instant, the three Demon Refining Sect disciples distanced themselves from Ling Meng, performing a ritual, summoning a demonic array.
Trapped in the Demonic Confinement Array, Ling Meng’s limbs felt shackled, struggling in vain to break free.
“You…?! Are you rebelling?!”
However, the three disciples ignored Ling Meng’s furious roar, continuing their incantations, attempting to annihilate her in one fell swoop.
But suddenly, three Soul-Numbing Needles flew, interrupting their spellcasting.
“Who?!”
