I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

As he spoke, Grandpa Qin got up to leave, and Bao Sanniang couldn't stop him, so she reluctantly closed the door.

Lin Yi is a cunning guy, but he's a good kid.

Bao Sanniang also sat down by Guan Buping's bedside. After thinking for a moment, she picked Guan Buping up again and put him a little further inside.

"what are you doing?"

"Take a rest, I was exhausted last night."

"Here?"

Guan Buping sensed something was wrong.

"So what? We've done this before."

With that, Bao Sanniang took off her armor and lay down on the bed fully clothed.

Although her face was burning, she had her back to Guan Buping and wasn't afraid of him noticing.

"We were forced to do it before, how can we do it now? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

Guan Buping knew when Bao Sanniang was referring to. At that time, Bao Sanniang was the chief constable of Xingsha County, and he was her deputy chief constable. When the two were on a mission together, they were trapped in a small cave. Outside, it was freezing cold, and there were demons casting spells. The two of them clung to each other and made do for the night before reinforcements arrived.

It was after that night that their ill-fated relationship officially began.

"Forced to do it?"

Upon hearing these four words, Bao Sanniang became furious again.

"Doing something out of necessity means you didn't do it? Aren't all 'out of necessity' ultimately voluntary? If you really didn't want to, you might as well have frozen to death with me!"

In a fit of anger, Bao Sanniang rolled up the quilt, huffed and puffed for a while, and then pulled it back a little to cover Guan Buping, but still lay with her back to him.

Guan Buping was about to think she had fallen asleep when he suddenly heard Bao Sanniang say, "I don't know how much longer I can hold on. Even the hottest fire will eventually go out. I know you have your concerns, but in our positions, who knows what tomorrow will bring? I just don't want to die without ever hearing you say you love me."

But I'm more afraid that while I'm still alive, I'll stop having any expectations of that statement.

Hearing her say those words in a calm tone, Guan Buping felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. Just how heartbroken must she be to say such a thing?

"Third Sister, I..."

Guan Buping hesitated, then suddenly heard Bao Sanniang snoring.

Guan Buping breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Last night, Lin Yi hurriedly brought him to the Jingye Division and left. Bao Sanniang was nowhere to be seen all night. She must have had a very hard time!

But he can neither fight alongside her nor accompany her afterward. What use is an empty "love"?

Guan Buping was unaware that Bao Sanniang, who was snoring, actually had her eyes open...

……

At the city gate, Lin Yi used his financial power to finally send away those who lingered and refused to leave. As for those who came to Changsha to stay with relatives and friends, Lin Yi told them to set up their own tents outside.

There's no way to drive them away. In these days, when communication relies mainly on shouting and transportation relies mainly on walking, these people have walked for who knows how long to get to Xingsha. How could we let them leave just like that?

We can only help them settle in. Once the city gates open in the future, those who want to go in will naturally be able to.

In front of Lin Yi was a large pile of firewood, vegetables, and various other local specialties, all of which he had bought with money and couldn't bear to throw away.

Resources are scarce, so we have to be frugal. Last time, He Dong complained to him that the family didn't have much money left!

Lin Yi had no choice but to put all of these into his cloud bag. Looking at the pile of ingredients inside, Lin Yi couldn't help but want to complain.

While others' bags were filled with all sorts of magical treasures and materials, his were filled with food ingredients.

"As agreed, I can go now!"

Shang Chang'er completed the tasks Lin Yi had assigned her, including going into the city to buy medicine for people. She did not take the opportunity to run away with Lin Yi's money; after using the rest, she returned the money.

This shows that the little swindler is actually a decent person, someone you can get along with.

Lin Yi wasn't worried about her running away. He could easily catch her if she did. Once he remembered her scent, would she really try to escape?

nonexistent.

When Shang Chang'er returned after finishing her business, she said she was leaving. Lin Yi's goodwill towards her increased greatly, and he said warmly, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. You've been running around for me for so long, I have to do something for you. When someone comes to relieve you, I'll take you to get something good to eat."

"What good food? Prison food?"

"If you want to eat, I can treat you. However, our Jingye Division doesn't actually have prisons. Those who become our enemies are the dead, not prisoners."

Lin Yi wasn't lying. Although sometimes it was the Jingye Division members who died, the enemies who were brought back to the Jingye Division were indeed all dead.

"Then why did you arrest me?"

Shang Chang'er felt something was amiss, sensing that Lin Yi had ulterior motives towards her.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "I just found you quite interesting. You clearly have cultivation, but you insist on selling those kinds of books. That's why I decided to test you. I didn't expect you to be so skilled. My Jingye Division needs someone like you."

"Ha! I have no interest in joining the Jingye Division!"

When it came to selling pornographic books, Shang Chang'er was naturally a little embarrassed, which is why she stubbornly refused.

Anyway, there are plenty of Night Watchmen in the world, so there's no need to seek a job under Lin Yi. Otherwise, wouldn't Lin Yi keep making fun of this erotic book business?

"Don't rush to make a decision. Think it over carefully first. You can come to the Jingye Division to find me anytime you've made up your mind. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Lin Yi, the acting chief constable of the Jingye Division in Xingsha County."

"Okay, I'll come see you sometime when I'm in a good mood."

Shang Chang'er agreed, and had already decided to go.

After all, Lin Yi seemed annoying, but he turned out to be a decent person. At least he was willing to help the poor. As a con artist, she had seen mostly heartless rich people, and the richer they were, the more greedy they were.

Lin Yi is just a chief constable, and an acting one at that. It's already quite good that he's managed to do this much.

Besides, her mysterious master also asked her to join the Jingye Division, so this was just going with the flow.

She didn't agree immediately; she was just trying to raise her own value.

Lin Yi watched Shang Chang'er leave, then continued standing guard.

When he had nothing to do, he opened the Demon-Slaying Manual again.

Among the four categories of demons and monsters, there is now a new top-ranked one: the immortal demon spirit, Ah Qi.

Lin Yi had been wondering if Jiang Linglong had killed her, but seeing that she was still on the list, he knew she was still alive.

Upon clicking, Ah Qi's appearance had been transformed into a single strand of hair.

Status: Greatly weakened, it has no choice but to reside in another's body, waiting for the time to rise again.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yi felt a headache coming on. Demonic possession was something that even the Demon Exorcism Manual couldn't detect. Lin Yi could only detect the demons and monsters that he could see with his own eyes; he couldn't see anything through human skin.

The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the light; we can only put it aside for now.

If we observe more often in the future, we might be able to find some clues based on the changes in the state.

Turning the page, Lin Yi thought of He Dong again, wondering how she was doing now.

Lin Yi casually flipped over the page, and the first thing he looked at was her merits and demerits.

Although He Dong is cute when she's being arrogant, Lin Yi doesn't want to see her commit too many sins.

If she is truly forced into this situation, Lin Yi may spare her life, but he hopes she will atone for her sins.

Merits and demerits: Evil outweighs good - He is a ghost who cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation, disrupting the world's order; he kills for personal gain and instigates others to kill; he kills a large number of evil people.

Seeing this evaluation, Lin Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Demon-Slaying Manual assesses merits and demerits in ten levels: heinous crimes, grave sins, extremely vicious, utterly wicked, evil outweighs good, good outweighs evil, widely known for good, revered by all, a sage of the time, and remembered for eternity.

The two middle levels are similar in merit and demerit, but there is some bias.

He Dong hadn't done many bad things; being a ghost was her greatest sin.

After all, ghosts shouldn't exist in this world, yet He Dong has lived for so long.

After feeling relieved, Lin Yi checked her status again, wondering what He Dong was doing.

State: Angry, sad, wronged, want to cry, feeling hungry because I have no yang energy to absorb...

Ah this...

Did you get this hungry after just one day without absorbing yang energy?

Lin Yi was quite surprised. He thought that He Dong would be fine after just one breath and was planning to feed him when he got back that night. Now it seemed that he had been too negligent.

It's not time to change shifts yet, what should I do if my wife at home is hungry?

Lin Yi had a sudden inspiration. He took out the small wooden figure that Xiao Se had given him and carved the words "I am at the South Gate, I have something to ask of you" on it.

At this moment, Xiao Se was sulking in her residence. She didn't know why she was angry. What did it have to do with her who Lin Yi was going to marry?

Anyway, even if she is a girl, she can't let anyone know. In Lin Yi's eyes, she can only be a younger brother. Why think so much?

Because of her confusion, she couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

But feeling the small wooden carving getting warm, she quickly took it out and saw eight characters written on it.

Not knowing what Lin Yi needed his help with, Xiao Se still hurriedly left the house.

She remained elegant and composed, showing no sign that she had spent the entire night arguing with He Dong.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Seeing Lin Yi's eagerness, Xiao Se naturally quickened his pace.

When Lin Yi saw her, it was as if he had seen a savior.

"I want to go home quickly. You come and guard the city gate for me. Don't let anyone in. If there are any troublemakers, fight them if you can. If you're not sure, just call me and I'll come over myself."

"No problem, but why did you rush home, brother?"

“Your sister-in-law is hungry, I have to go back and feed her.”

Xiao Se: "..."

I'm so annoyed, but I still have to keep smiling...

After Lin Yi left, Xiao Se stood on the city wall for half a day, still unable to understand why He Dong, such a big ghost, couldn't eat by himself.

Do you want Lin Yi to go back and feed him?
