NOVEL WEB chapter 70
70. The Strange Tales of Spirit Spring
Lin Nuo sized up the white fox loli in front of him.
Now, she was full of energy, radiant, with smooth and tender skin, lively and adorable. In contrast, he felt like a dead fish.
Masaka (no way)?!
“Li Ruoruo, when did you wake up?”
“Um… probably the latter half of the hour.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Oh oh, the young master is right, the chill is gone now~ I feel much smoother~ Waking up from this sleep feels quite comfortable, I feel so spirited, thank you, young master~!”
“……”
Lin Nuo’s face darkened as he listened, falling into deep thought.
Given the current situation, Li Ruoruo was brimming with spirit, in excellent condition, while he, Lin Nuo, was listless, utterly exhausted.
The stark contrast led him to an epiphany!
Oh my dear mother, this is, a failure! Not just a failure, but it backfired!
It makes no sense, I followed the instructions for use, it couldn’t possibly backfire.
Damn it, that dog of a boss sold me fake goods, I, Lin Nuo, will transform into a Zhuan hunter and demand justice at his door!
But…
Even if it was a fake, it should have failed, yet the reality is the opposite, he was drained by her.
It seems that perhaps Li Ruoruo’s constitution can utilize this qi talisman in reverse to absorb qi. It appears that beneath the cute loli exterior lies an extremely terrifying constitution, or maybe it’s a remnant from dual cultivation! (In fact, the seller was a new apprentice who gave him the wrong usage)
This wave, oh, this wave is a loss of both wife and soldiers.
Oh, forgot, I don’t have a wife.
All that talk about the white fox being a cultivation aid is a lie, Li Ruoruo is all tender skin and smooth flesh, while he is increasingly emaciated.
Now that the qi has been absorbed by her, he’s left weak and exhausted, barely able to get up, still tired after sleeping for two hours.
Damn it, why do I, a great villain, keep facing setbacks, is there no justice in the world?
“Young master, your complexion doesn’t seem too…”
“I’m fine, just put the food in the pot to keep it warm, I’m not hungry now, I’ll eat later.”
“Oh oh, alright, if there’s anything else you need, young master, please let me know, I’ll go warm up the food.”
With that, Li Ruoruo bounced out of his room.
[The young master doesn’t seem too well, he must be tired from the practice. If possible, I’ll sleep with the young master again tomorrow afternoon~]
Li Ruoruo thought with a silly smile.
And in the room…
“I’m so sleepy, let me sleep a bit more. I’ll think about reading and cultivating after I wake up.”
Lin Nuo quickly covered himself with the blanket and fell into a deep sleep until it was dark.
…
The cold wind howled through Tianling Mountain, while the affiliated pavilion’s Spirit Spring emitted a warm, steaming heat.
At the entrance of the Spirit Spring stood a wooden sign that read: “Bathing for men, women shall not enter.”
“Ah, this feels great~ The Spirit Spring is truly a treasure. A dip makes you feel ten years younger, and two dips restore your vitality.”
Lin Nuo was alone in the vast Spirit Spring. He had woken up late at night, eaten his meal, and felt a bit weak after Li Ruoruo absorbed his energy. He thought it best to soak in the Spirit Spring at Han Xianzi’s pavilion to rejuvenate.
This time, he didn’t call for Li Ruoruo. On one hand, he was scared off by Su Kexin last time, and on the other, he was starting to fear Li Ruoruo. They say absorption can be addictive, and she’s a white fox, after all. White foxes are said to have some beastly traits. What if she craved absorption and let her animal instincts take over, pinning him down and rubbing against him? Wouldn’t he be drained dry?
Who knows? Despite being a little loli, I, the great villain who ends worlds, must be cautious.
Now, late at night, it’s unlikely that Han Xianzi and the other three women would come to soak in the Spirit Spring. But just in case, he erected a wooden sign outside the Spirit Spring to indicate a man was bathing. Being the only male disciple, they would naturally know it was him.
Each of them was as pure and self-respecting as a blooming flower. Surely, even if they happened to come for a soak and saw the sign, they wouldn’t rashly enter.
The eldest senior sister, a lady of high standing, knew better than to do so. The second senior sister, aloof and detached from worldly desires, certainly wouldn’t. As for Su Kexin, the protagonist, she still had a proper sense of morality and ethics. The sign clearly stated, “Women shall not enter,” so naturally, she wouldn’t come in.
As for Han Xianzi, that woman probably wouldn’t stoop so low either.
So, no one would disturb his time in the Spirit Spring; he could soak until the world turned dark.
The small waterfall on the stone wall provided a comforting cascade.
“The river flows eastward, oh, the stars above have gone to the dogs~♪”
Singing a cheerful tune, Lin Nuo scrubbed himself under the waterfall, indescribably delighted.
Steam rose from the spring water, and at the entrance, a graceful silhouette slowly approached Lin Nuo.
“It looks like rain in the sky, I really want to argue with you~♪… Eh? This bottle of body wash is empty, I need to get another.”
Just as Lin Nuo was about to get up, a hand suddenly offered him a full bottle of body wash.
“Oh, thank you.”
Lin Nuo politely thanked the person, took the bottle of body wash, squeezed some out, and started to lather himself.
The fragrant body wash was truly intoxicating.
Hmm? Something doesn’t feel right.
Who just handed me the body wash???
