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

106. Finding the Elixir of Happiness

Faced with Mu Yiting’s delicate and adorable smile, any ordinary, naive young man would have probably fallen for her by now.

But Lin Nuo was a villain, and Su Kexin had always been the epitome of a peach-blossom-like adorable image. He had no interest in Mu Yiting.

Moreover, he was well aware that Mu Yiting’s demeanor was all a facade; supposedly, beneath the angelic face lay a venomous heart.

But his aesthetic was different from others; he didn’t like angels, he preferred demons.

“Senior brother, how is it?”

“Not poisoned.”

“Then would you like to drink it?”

“Put it aside.”

Lin Nuo capped the bottle and put it aside, continuing to nibble on a pork floss bun, “By the way, what kind of drink is this?”

“Oh, this is Ke Han Water, a refreshing and mouthwatering beverage that can invigorate the mind.”

“Ke Han Water? Did you make it yourself?”

“Yes, I’ve studied the art of drink mixing, you can rest assured and enjoy it, senior brother.”

Mu Yiting continued to maintain her cute and pleasant smile, like an angel.

Lin Nuo shook his head slightly, his face showing a hint of disdain, “Please speak to me with your true face, this hypocritical smile of yours is truly nauseating.”

“Ah, senior brother, what are you talking about…”

“Still pretending? Forget it, I give up.”

Just as Lin Nuo was about to get up and leave, Mu Yiting quickly called out to him:

“Alright, alright, I know. Don’t leave just yet.”

Mu Yiting took a deep breath, and the lively, adorable smile vanished, replaced by a somber, indifferent expression. Those gloomy eyes could make anyone keep their distance.

She shed her cute disguise, confronting Lin Nuo with her truest face.

At Xuan Yun Sect, this was the first time she had faced an outsider with her true self.

“Is this okay?”

Even her delicate tone was gone, now somewhat deeper.

Lin Nuo turned to look, and seeing Mu Yiting’s true face, he felt a bit better.

“Good, that’s right, this is much better.”

Lin Nuo smiled. Perhaps he had seen too many amiable and friendly faces at Xuan Yun Sect, and now Mu Yiting’s somber, indifferent face was quite pleasing to him.

Surrounded by upright people, he found them tiresome. Now encountering a woman from the underworld, his mood naturally improved.

“You’re strange. Anyone else would have been scared off.”

“Quite pretty, why would they be scared off?”

“Pretty?”

Suddenly praised by Lin Nuo, Mu Yiting felt a bit shy. She had been complimented by countless people before, feeling nothing, just smiling it off. But with Lin Nuo, she felt an indescribable flutter in her heart.

Perhaps she had never experienced life-and-death adversity, and being suddenly saved from disaster by him, her heart had unknowingly changed its view of this man.

She realized that Lin Nuo was quite different from the other cultivators of Xuan Yun Sect. He was solitary, unrestrained, aloof, and indifferent, yet his behavior had an inexplicable charismatic allure.

“So, you actually know about me?” Mu Yiting asked.

“I know.”

Lin Nuo waved his hand, “There’s a declining underworld organization among the common folk called He Long Hall, mainly composed of the large Mu family. You are the fourth daughter of the Mu family, having infiltrated Xuan Yun Sect early on to gather intelligence and resources. Disguised as a cute, obedient, and understanding female cultivator, you’ve been successful, almost deceiving everyone. The rise of He Long Hall owes much to you.”

“How do you know so much?”

Mu Yiting listened in surprise. Lin Nuo knew her details so clearly, yet in the past, they had hardly interacted, their conversations few and far between.

Could he have secretly investigated her identity?

“You needn’t worry about that. In any case, I won’t reveal your affairs. You do you, I do me, without interference.”

“But my existence is a threat to Xuan Yun Sect.”

“No matter, I am too.”

A cold smile played across Lin Nuo’s face, a smile more sinister than any underworld figure, despite being a reputed righteous cultivator.

Mu Yiting found Lin Nuo more and more incomprehensible. What kind of person was he really? He spoke of threatening Xuan Yun Sect, yet his actions saved the disciples from dire straits.

“You threaten Xuan Yun Sect, so you belong to some organization too?”

“No, I am the largest organization.”

“Just you alone?”

“Yes, but you don’t need to understand. You can think I’m talking nonsense.”

Lin Nuo finished the pork floss bun in his hand, but his mouth was dry and he was thirsty. Thinking there was a bottle of black Ke Han water next to him, he picked it up and took a sip to try.

From noble mtl dot come

A chill rushed into Lin Nuo’s mouth with the liquid, cool and refreshing. After swallowing, it was sweet and delicious.

This refreshing and sweet taste, it had the flavor of ‘happy water.’

Lin Nuo drank the refreshing water, finishing the Ke Han water in one go.

Hoo~ A breath of cold air followed, refreshing!

“I suggest changing the name of this drink.”

“What name?”

“Just call it Cola.”

“Cola? Why call it that?”

Mu Yiting found it strange and asked.

“No reason, just call it Cola.”

Lin Nuo said earnestly, with dry rations and pork floss buns already at hand, only lacking ‘happy water.’ This Ke Han water could replace it, directly becoming Cola, which was easier to say.

“Alright, if you like it, I’ll call it Cola from now on.”

Mu Yiting didn’t probe further; after all, it was just a name. But seeing Lin Nuo drink it all, Mu Yiting felt somewhat relieved.

At least her creation was accepted by him, which was comforting.

Her heart was filled with many mysteries, about Lin Nuo, and also about the alchemy.

She continued to ask, “Then you also know about Yu Zheng’s matter, right?”

“I know.”

Now Lin Nuo told a lie; in fact, he didn’t know that Yu Zheng, like Mu Yiting, was an outsider lurking in the Xuan Yun Sect. Black scale stones exploding in cow dung, no, exploding the Xuan Yun Sect had not happened in the past, and he hadn’t paid attention to Yu Zheng, nor had he done anything out of line.

In his previous life, it seemed that Yu Zheng disappeared without a trace, presumably exposed and dealt with secretly by the people of Xuan Yun Sect.

If he had known that Yu Zheng was problematic, he would have been more cautious, at least checking the alchemy furnace when throwing the black scale stones.

But now he could be certain that Yu Zheng had some connection with Mu Yiting.

Lin Nuo continued, “Yu Zheng’s actions this time must have been aimed at you.”

“He probably wanted to blow up the disciples of Xuan Yun Sect and take me out in the process.”

“The order should be reversed; he wanted to blow you up.” Lin Nuo said, “Let’s put it this way, your He Long Hall is an organization full of deceit and betrayal, and it’s not uncommon to see backstabbing. And your family, involved in various interests, your death would be beneficial to them, like bandits, one less person to share the loot.”

“Um… what you said makes sense, Yu Zheng was sent by the family to assist me, but he’s not my father’s man, and I can’t be sure who instructed him.”

“No matter who instructed him, your fate is inescapable.”

Lin Nuo sneered, “Who knows, your side might already be in trouble.”
