The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 290
290. Facing Great Calamity
When it comes to home travel, Qin Shili was also quite skilled.
She could always easily come up with things suitable for outdoor survival. Paired with Li Ruo’er, one hiding things and the other creating things, they formed the strongest silver-haired girl duo, making home travel worry-free.
Adding Mu Yiting to the mix, the joy was endless.
“Is this water drinkable?”
As an outstanding villain, Lin Nuo still had to express his doubts.
“It’s drinkable. I’ll show you.”
Qin Shili conjured a cup made of ice in her hand, then created ice blocks on it. The ice blocks melted, filling the entire cup.
She then raised the cup and drank it.
The taste was excellent, with no issues at all.
“Would you like to try?”
Qin Shili left a little and handed the ice cup to Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo took the cup. Although it was made of ice, it didn’t feel cold at all. Instead, it felt somewhat warm.
This appeared to be a solidified form of water, ice.
Ice melts above zero degrees Celsius, which is not scientific at all.
Of course, in the world of spiritual cultivation, adhering to 21st-century advanced science is a sign of a problematic mind. Things like spiritual power can’t be fully explained.
However, this might not be ordinary water.
It could be a substance that looks like water but remains solid at room temperature.
Very scientific.
Lin Nuo took a sip. It was indeed clear water, just a bit cooler and more refreshing than usual.
“Is this called Nongfu Spring?”
“No, it’s just water, no name. But if you want a name, you can name it after yourself.”
“Hmm? What name?”
“Li Fu Spring.”
Lin Nuo: “…”
Are you the legendary naming genius?
Lin Nuo coughed and said:
“What virtue or ability do I have to deserve this title? But this water is indeed better than what I usually drink. How much do you have in reserve?”
“Enough for you and me to drink for a lifetime.”
“That’s not necessary.”
Lin Nuo awkwardly waved his hand. This Qin Shili kept changing the topic nonchalantly.
“So, there’s a lot of water. It will last for the next few days. Let’s go back first and leave this to the good officials of the city.”
Lin Nuo handed the ice cup back to Qin Shili. Qin Shili took the cup, poured more water into it, and drank another cup.
“Why, are you still thirsty?” Lin Nuo asked.
“No, you drank from the cup I used, so I naturally have to drink from the cup you used.”
“…Is that necessary…”
“I think it is.”
“Alright, as long as you’re happy. Anyway, sharing a cup with you is a great deal for me.” Lin Nuo said calmly.
“I also gain.”
Qin Shili responded, and after drinking the water, put the cup away.
The two walked towards the Lin family mansion, passing through the city streets, which were filled with cursed citizens.
Then they encountered the approaching soldiers, as well as Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin.
“Shili, junior brother, I’m quite worried about you with this happening in the city, but seeing you both safe and sound is a relief.”
Liu Shuqin said with relief, but being kind-hearted as always, she felt extremely distressed seeing so many citizens suffering.
She sighed and said:
“We don’t know what strange disease they have. I’ve tried some medical methods but couldn’t make them better. Other doctors have also tried many ways, but none have worked. This all happened so suddenly.”
Liu Shuqin had some medical knowledge, and she had also learned some advanced medical techniques, but working with other doctors, they still couldn’t help the citizens.
She looked at Lin Nuo and asked:
“Junior brother, do you have any clues about this?”
“No, you doctors don’t even know, how could I possibly know?”
Lin Nuo denied it, pretending not to know.
Qin Shili, standing to the side, also said nothing. Lin Nuo chose to deny and conceal, and she naturally cooperated.
She didn’t know what Lin Nuo was up to, but she felt that Lin Nuo wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
After all, it’s always like this. He acts indifferent and aloof, but in the end, he always acts heroically and turns the tide.
He comes quietly and leaves quietly, yet his great deeds cannot be hidden and are eventually made known to the world.
Just wait and see. When a great disaster strikes and everyone is at a loss, that is when he will show his brilliance.
“It is a curse we’ve never seen before. The water source has been cursed.”
At this moment, Zhao Zhou stepped out from the group of soldiers and said seriously.
From noble mtl dot com
Lin Nuo glanced at Zhao Zhou.
Oh right, I forgot there’s an immortal here.
The blood magic of the Blood Demon is still lacking, it was seen through.
Could it be that you, the immortal, will save the world?
That would make sense, after all, that’s your job.
“A curse? Senior, what kind of curse is it?” Su Kexin asked curiously.
Lin Nuo glanced at the little girl.
Are you deaf? He said it’s something we’ve never seen before, how could he possibly name it?
Zhao Zhou shook his head:
“I can’t say for sure, but I can confirm they are under a chronic curse, which will slowly cause them to suffer and die. I feel this is similar to what happened to the immortal beasts in Zifeng Valley.”
Zhao Zhou speculated, but didn’t go into details. After all, the riot of the immortal beasts in Zifeng Valley wasn’t something glorious, so he just mentioned it. Lin Nuo and Su Kexin probably understood.
A blood curse, the same kind of curse that the immortal beasts in Zifeng Valley once suffered from, which caused a riot back then.
“Young man, you should have some clues now, right?”
Zhao Zhou turned his gaze to Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo shook his head:
“No, I can’t think of anything. If even the senior doesn’t know, how could I possibly know?”
Just play dumb, after all, you can’t see through what I’m thinking. If you’re so capable, you go save the world.
“Then, senior, what should we do now?”
Liu Shuqin respectfully asked Zhao Zhou.
Zhao Zhou responded seriously:
“Currently, our immortal techniques can break the curse, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power. Moreover, there are many people in the city, so it’s very limited, we can’t save many. We need to quickly develop an antidote, otherwise, they won’t last long.”
“Alright, we will find a way to make the antidote. Please, seniors, save those who can be saved first.”
“Yes. First, move them together, and we will try to concentrate our efforts.”
Zhao Zhou said, time was of the essence, and everyone sped up to move as many suffering people together as possible.
Lin Nuo secretly mocked the Blood Demon, it was indeed too early, immortals could remove curses.
What a loser.
However, dealing with the new curse required the use of advanced curse removal techniques, which would be quite draining for them, and not many people could be saved.
Following the principle of saving one person at a time, the immortals still tried to find ways to remove the curse.
As for Liu Shuqin, she went to rally the physicians to study how to concoct a potion to break the curse. The situation was urgent, and they had to hurry, or they would face the disaster of the city’s destruction.
As for Lin Nuo, he naturally didn’t worry, it had little to do with him, he just drank Qin Shili’s water and watched the show.
The nobles who came to the banquet knew about this and hurriedly fled the city, not knowing that there were already fierce beasts lurking outside, and a large number of people had died.
