NOVEL NEXT chapter 228
228. The Immortal Wants Us Dead
Lin Nuo finished drawing the circle and chanting the spell, temporarily trapping the massive celestial tiger. Even if it woke up, it wouldn’t be able to break free.
As a beast tamer, no, a beast capture specialist, he could handle the celestial tiger however he wanted. Even if those immortals couldn’t do anything about it, he could subdue it.
“Alright, it’s done.”
After completing the spell, Lin Nuo gently withdrew his hand, estimating that he still had some talismans left, which would be enough for him.
At this moment, Li Ruo’er had already followed Lin Nuo’s instructions and stayed away from the white celestial tiger. She spread a cloth under the celestial tree in front, patted it with her small hands, and signaled Lin Nuo to sit over.
Lin Nuo adjusted his white robe slightly and sat on the spread cloth.
It felt like a picnic in the wild, but they were missing some food and drinks.
“Have you learned the spirit pouch technique?”
Lin Nuo asked about the thing he cared about the most, as he believed the spirit pouch collection technique was the most useful immortal technique.
“The spirit pouch technique~? Not yet, young master. Immortal Dong said there’s no need to rush to learn this minor technique.”
“Just tell her you want to learn it. It’s very useful. If you don’t learn the spirit pouch technique, you won’t learn any other immortal techniques.”
Lin Nuo urged Li Ruo’er to learn it quickly and then teach him. Once he mastered the spirit pouch technique, he would have grasped the essence of the Purple Peak Valley’s immortal techniques.
“Um… isn’t that inappropriate… Young master, you said that when cultivating immortal techniques, we should follow Immortal Dong’s arrangements.”
“I also said you should prioritize my arrangements.”
“Oh oh~ right~”
Li Ruo’er suddenly remembered this, realizing she almost forgot.
Everything should be prioritized according to the young master’s arrangements. This was the fundamental principle of cultivating immortality.
“Then I’ll consult Immortal Dong and ask her to teach me the spirit pouch technique~”
“Very good.”
As expected of his maid, she was still very obedient and followed his words.
Very good, maintain this excellent quality, and in the future, she would willingly fall into darkness and become a proud demon fox standing above the world.
He could already imagine the scene, the demon fox wreaking havoc, plunging the world into chaos, fast-forwarding to a human purgatory, with people screaming in agony.
妙呀。
不过回想过来，首先得关心一下这只仙虎的状况。
Lin Nuo asked:
“The celestial tiger ran away, those immortals should be anxious, but where are they? Why are you the only one here? Besides, you just joined, don’t they feel guilty leaving you alone?”
“No, many celestial beasts have shown drastic changes in temperament and then they all rushed out. Everyone is looking for them. Immortal Dong told me not to intervene and left me alone to cultivate. Then I sensed its aura and found this white celestial tiger.”
“If you can sense its aura, they naturally can too.”
“Well… theoretically, yes, but I don’t know why they haven’t arrived yet.”
Li Ruo’er also shook her head, expressing helplessness.
Lin Nuo thought it was indeed the case. He realized that the celestial tiger pounced based on sound, not aura. Logically, an angry celestial tiger’s aura should be strong, and he should have sensed it first.
But no, could it be that this celestial tiger has become a spirit? Can it conceal its aura? Conceal it so well that even immortals can’t detect it?
“How is your cultivation of other celestial arts?” Lin Nuo continued to ask.
“Progress is good~ Immortal Dong even praised my talent~” Li Ruo’er smiled proudly.
“Indeed, you are talented.”
Lin Nuo also agreed with this view. After all, he was reborn, and Li Ruo’er was a stunning fox immortal. If she were a stock, he would buy it aggressively and become the richest man in Puhan in a few years.
“Really, young master~?” Li Ruo’er was half-believing.
“Yes.” Lin Nuo nodded.
Hearing Lin Nuo’s praise, Li Ruo’er was even more delighted, much more than when Dong Xiyan praised her.
After all, she cultivated immortality to catch up with the young master, to gain his recognition, and one day fight alongside him, not just serve him as a little maid behind the scenes.
Of course, serving the young master is only right. If she could marry the young master, she could serve him for a lifetime~
Soon after, the huge white celestial tiger woke up, still feeling a bit dizzy, but it could sense hostility. It still held a grudge from being toyed with by a mortal body earlier.
Where is that mortal body?
The white celestial tiger saw it, hiding with a little white fox girl opposite. The white celestial tiger’s eyes were bright, and it immediately saw through their cultivation levels.
But they were not the least bit flustered, even looking at it as calmly as if it were an ordinary animal.
“Roar!!”
The white celestial tiger roared angrily, wanting to pounce on Lin Nuo, but was trapped by an invisible cage, unable to rush out.
“It seems to be awake.”
Lin Nuo stood up and slowly walked towards the white celestial tiger, “It seems quite fierce. Li Ruo’er, negotiate with it. If the negotiation fails, send it back to those immortals for education.”
“Okay, okay~”
Li Ruo’er walked from behind Lin Nuo to the front, facing the fierce huge white celestial tiger with a kind smile:
“Brother Tiger, don’t be angry~ We mean no harm~ The young master was just defending himself, not intending to hurt you~”
Lin Nuo thought: No, actually, I meant to eat it.
Li Ruo’er: “The seniors said you used to be very well-behaved, but suddenly you had a big change in temperament. Did something happen? If you have any dissatisfaction with Zifeng Valley, you can talk to me~ I will do my best to help you~”
Li Ruo’er’s voice was soft and gentle, and the white celestial tiger felt very comfortable listening to it. Instinctively, it felt that Li Ruo’er had no ill intentions.
Moreover, it could actually understand what Li Ruo’er was saying, which felt very magical.
The white celestial tiger stopped roaring and slightly opened its mouth, letting out a low moan:
“This place is a disaster, we celestial beasts will all die, these immortals want us dead.”
“Ah, how could that be? How could they possibly want you dead?”
Li Ruo’er was very surprised to hear this, her first reaction was that the white celestial tiger had encountered something, and then became mentally disturbed.
Lin Nuo couldn’t hear the white celestial tiger’s words, but he could hear Li Ruo’er’s words. His first reaction was that this tiger had delusional persecution syndrome, and was beyond saving, suggesting it be roasted.
“They want us dead, my companions were taken for training, and when they came back, they were very strange.” The white tiger continued.
“Ah, in what way were they strange?”
“They lost their vitality, became celestial beasts with no thoughts, only obeying orders, not complaining, and having no ideas of their own, like puppets.”
“But shouldn’t celestial beasts obey their master’s orders?”
“It’s different. In the past, we would obey our master’s orders, but we had our own thoughts and would communicate. But now, they have completely lost their vitality, these immortals don’t treat us as partners, but as tools to be driven, this is murdering us.”
The white celestial tiger’s voice rose, even Lin Nuo could tell it was getting agitated.
