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

56. Stepping Out with an Alias (Extra update for monthly tickets, seeking votes~)

“Young Master?”

The girl turned around upon hearing a noise behind her, only to find Lin Nuo standing there, frozen, his hands trembling and forehead beading with sweat.

“Young Master, are you alright?”

Seeing Lin Nuo’s pallor, she asked with concern.

“It’s nothing, just feeling a bit weak.”

Lin Nuo was still unclear about this girl’s story. Not only had she sprung from the box, but she also possessed the mighty Dragon’s Power, stabbing him in the back, followed by a flash of light that sent him flying.

The key was, she seemed oblivious to it all.

Could it be she knew and was testing me?

Right, the box.

Lin Nuo took another look at the box. Aside from the girl, he saw no contraband, not even a rose, which would have suited the ambiance of a maiden’s awakening.

How bizarre. Could the contraband have transformed into this girl? And why does she look somewhat familiar?

“Young Master, are you saying I was sleeping in a box?”

“Yes.”

“Then, may I ask, where are we?”

“Yu City.”

“Ah, Yu City? Hmm… I remember being in Huang City before… cough cough…”

The girl coughed twice, her confusion deepening. Yu City was close to Huang City, but how she got here, what happened along the way, she had no idea.

No recollection at all. She had simply slept beautifully, only to wake up to this.

“You were in Huang City before?”

Lin Nuo felt there was something mysterious about this girl; she was definitely no ordinary person. “What’s your name?”

“Me? My name is… Luo… Roi, and I live in Huang City.”

The girl instinctively adjusted her tone, even changing her surname.

Having slept for so long before waking, she almost let slip her guard. Outside, she couldn’t just reveal her real name and identity, lest her public exposure lead to uproar and agitation, and those with ill intentions, knowing her identity, might strike at her.

Certainly, she couldn’t be sure that the young man before her was a bad person, but since they were strangers who just met, it was better to be cautious.

“Luo Royi?”

“Cough cough… No, young master, my name is Royi, ‘Luo’ as in ‘to arrange,’ and ‘Yi’ as in ‘to depend on.’ I might have been muddled from sleep, mispronouncing my words.”

“Royi, huh?”

Lin Nuo sized up the young girl. To be honest, when she uttered the sound ‘Luo,’ he was momentarily taken aback, considering that the surname ‘Luo’ belonged to the current royal family. The empress herself was a Luo, and at first, he subconsciously suspected she was Empress Luo Xiaoxue.

However, the Luo-named empress was very dominant. There was a reason she could rule the entire Puhan Dynasty alone—a woman of decisive action, ruthless and unmerciful. Facing her directly, one could easily be overwhelmed by her imposing aura.

In his previous life, Lin Nuo didn’t encounter Empress Luo Xiaoxue often, but whenever they did meet, it was on the battlefield. At that time, Luo Xiaoxue, armored and spear in hand, charged into battle, fierce as a tiger.

As for Luo Xiaoxue’s appearance, Lin Nuo’s memory was vague; he remembered her as a warrior galloping across the battlefield. The royal army had once given him a portrait of the princess, which he glanced at before tossing into the trash heap, having no intention of seeking her out.

As for this girl named Royi, she was delicate and pitiable, occasionally letting out a few coughs, clearly frail and chilled to the bone.

A sickly cat, worlds apart from the fierce tiger empress of the battlefield.

“You seem to be unwell.”

“Yes, young master, I am of a cold constitution, please forgive me… cough…”

The girl’s coughing grew more intense. After all, the jungle and the small storeroom Lin Nuo had chosen were damp and cold, and with the placement of some yin-type magical instruments around, it was normal for someone of her frail constitution to catch a chill and cough weakly. If she stayed too long, her condition would likely worsen.

“May I ask for your esteemed name, young master?”

“Lin Fanpai.”

Lin Nuo blurted out three characters without a second thought.

When out and about, it’s prudent to use a pseudonym, especially when dealing with dirty deals in the black market—using one’s real name would be foolishly naive.

He didn’t change his surname, remaining a Lin, but the characters ‘Fanpai’ held a profound meaning—’Fanpai,’ the antagonist, steadfast in his villainous heart for a hundred years unshaken.

Lin Nuo continued to ask, “Have you ever encountered a situation where your body suddenly emitted light?”

The girl shook her head, “No, Young Master Lin, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing, it must have been a reflection. My eyesight isn’t good, I saw it wrong.”

Lin Nuo felt that the girl might truly be unaware of her physical condition. A strong spiritual light would flare up and then repel any external threats, which he believed to be a kind of self-protective constitution that would burst forth when faced with a threat to life.

But if she were to be affected by a fainting fragrance and fall asleep, it wouldn’t trigger her potential without harm.

The girl was weak, and Lin Nuo thought her potential limit wasn’t strong. He had previously wanted to stab her with a knife, and being repelled was normal. If he used advanced spiritual techniques on her, she probably wouldn’t withstand it.

It seemed the empress didn’t possess such skills either.

This girl’s skin was intact, suggesting that someone from the underground organization had discovered her constitution and captured her to conduct some research, artificially enabling their own people to acquire such a constitution.

There were successful cases of this method, but very few; most were failures.

From noble mtl dot come

However, whatever constitution this girl had, it was of no concern to Lin Nuo. Her weak and chilled body meant her abilities were likely only for self-protection and wouldn’t affect him.

Sigh, after all the trouble, he didn’t get the forbidden item, but ended up with a girl of no use to him.

Time to calm down with some meat floss cakes.

Linuo pulled out a pork floss bun and took a couple of bites.

**Gurgle gurgle**

At that moment, a slightly embarrassed sound came from the girl’s stomach.
