The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

90. Catching Pigeons

“That’s likely his inner demon.”

Master Cong was certain of his conjecture. The person so powerful in the illusion could only be explained as an inner demon.

To have such a formidable inner demon that even he, a true master, was no match for it.

Everything has two sides. Such a strong inner demon would definitely hinder Lin Nuo’s cultivation, and he might even suffer a mental breakdown. However, on the other hand, if he could overcome this inner demon, he would truly be a celestial being.

But according to Lin Nuo, he was already killed when he came out of the dark illusion, so he was utterly defenseless against this inner demon. It’s very likely that this inner demon is the entity restraining his ascension.

“Master Cong, are you alright? I see you’re still trembling…”

“I’m… I’m fine. It’s probably just residual symptoms from traversing the illusion. They should disappear soon…”

That’s what he said, but everyone could see that Master Cong’s so-called residual symptoms were not going to disappear anytime soon.

Looking at the other disciples, although some also experienced trembling after waking up, they were in the minority. Master Cong, a true master, was in such a plight, yet everyone refrained from commenting.

For Master Cong, the killing in the illusion was an indelible nightmare. Whenever he spoke of it, he would recall the moment he was killed, the first time he faced the threat of death.

“This inner demon is no small matter. I hope Fairy Han can guide Lin Nuo to overcome his inner demon. Of course, if you need help, we will assist you,” Master Zhao instructed Fairy Han.

…

In the end, Lin Nuo still suffered a severe psychological blow.

Because he was embraced on the spot by his arch-nemesis, the protagonist Su Kexin, who spoke of joining forces to become righteous heroes saving the masses, it felt like a tight spell, buzzing incessantly in his head.

It was terrifying. It seemed that the real trial wasn’t the illusion, but the reality that followed!

And this move, he was caught off guard.

Later, Su Kexin confessed to him that in her dark illusion, she had stabbed him to death.

In a sense, she truly overcame the darkness. After all, he was to be the greatest villain in the future, her ultimate darkness, and she ended him directly, completing the protagonist’s mission five years early.

Lin Nuo was scared to death when he heard this news. The protagonist’s subconscious was too formidable, not forgetting to stab him even in the illusion.

Although Su Kexin claimed it was unintentional, the fact proved that all of Su Kexin’s protagonist behaviors were unconscious—blood-fueled outbursts, sudden enlightenments, killing villains in illusions, divine protection. This messy stuff had already paved her way to a bright future as the protagonist. If she were conscious of it, then what?

When Lin Nuo was embraced by Su Kexin, it was as if she held a knife to his chest, threatening him, more frightening than any dark illusion.

Undeniably, he once fancied the idea of taking this white silk peach blossom girl home. But now, knowing he’s the great villain and that she’s the one who will stab him in the future, he lost all interest.

Lin Nuo deliberately avoided Su Kexin. Previously, she was a dignified and reserved girl, but after this heart trial, she became passionate towards him, which instead made him fearful.

The peaks of Tianling Mountain stretched endlessly. Lin Nuo crossed several peaks and found a stream where he planned to sit and cultivate.

“Today, I’ll perform the Mighty Heaven Surge.”

This was a qi gong technique, powerful in its invisible assault. Eyes closed in meditation, he seemed to be in peaceful cultivation, but was actually gathering strength, ready to strike, defeating enemies without a sound.

Such qi gong was of master level. Many grandmasters had defeated assassins while seemingly resting in meditation, appearing motionless, yet harboring hidden lethal intent.

Lin Nuo meditated with closed eyes, listening to the gentle flow of the stream, maintaining a calm state of mind.

Suddenly, there was the sound of birds flapping their wings above.

Good, now is the time.

Lin Nuo, with eyes closed and spirit nurtured, remained still. But at that moment, a surge of energy gathered above his head and shot towards the sky!

The power of the Mighty Heaven Surge lay in its concentrated force. Even at his mere second-tier level, as long as he focused the energy in one direction, he could unleash tremendous power, though it demanded high levels of concentration and anticipation.

Hit!

Instantly, a pristine dove fell from the sky, landing beside Lin Nuo.

At that moment, Lin Nuo exhaled gently and slowly opened his eyes.

“Let’s see what bird this is, oh, a plump dove.”

Lin Nuo picked up the dove, feeling its flesh—plump enough to make a delightful roast.

Hmm?

He discovered the dove was enchanted with a secret method, about to explode.

Thinking of becoming fried chicken? That would require my culinary skills.

Lin Nuo quickly discerned the situation and neutralized the secret method, preventing the dove from self-destructing.

So, it must be carrying a message.

This method of message delivery was not new to Lin Nuo. The message was hidden within the dove, designed to self-destruct if captured by strangers.

What luck, to have hit a homing pigeon.

At this moment, a presence was rapidly approaching, but it slowed down just before arrival, clearly someone had hurried over from afar and then deliberately reduced their speed before reaching.

Lin Nuo looked in the direction of the presence, and sure enough, it was her.

“Senior Brother Lin Nuo, hello~ Senior Brother, this pigeon seems to be injured.”

Mu Yiting emerged from the woods.
