I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi quickly replied, "How could that be? You know me, I would never renege on my debt."

"Hmph, let me tell you, you can lie to me, but you can't lie to me about my money!"

Her big eyes were shaped like gold.

Lin Yi said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely return your 53,920 gold coins."

Since there was no agreed repayment period, as long as I'm willing to keep paying, it's not considered defaulting on the debt.

"Wrong, I added another ten thousand."

"???"

“When you were attacked by the big tiger before, I secretly blindfolded it so that you could kill it. As agreed, I saved you and I will take 10,000.”

Lin Yi: "..."

You only asked for 5,000 to kidnap Wang Liang, but you want 10,000 to help me out? You're just trying to fleece me, aren't you?

Chapter 15 The Skin-Peeling Female Ghost

The thought of having another 10,000 yuan in debt filled Lin Yi with melancholy.

Actually, having a lot of debt isn't a problem, but now that he knows He Dong was behind the sliding tackle that killed the tiger demon, Lin Yi's sense of accomplishment has diminished considerably.

Is a solo kill the same as having support?

"Although it's a pity I didn't kill the tiger demon alone, thank you anyway. I'll take responsibility for it."

Lin Yi didn't haggle over such things. Money is just an external thing. Anyway, He Dong wasn't pressuring him to pay back the money immediately. At the moment, he didn't really need money to do anything. He didn't need to buy a house or a car, nor did he need to get married and have children.

As long as you have no desires, having enough money is fine.

The difference between owing 500 million and 600 million is not significant. Moreover, since he has acknowledged the debt this time, He Dong will only intervene if he sees him in danger next time.

He Dong couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Yi's decisiveness.

"You're such a good person. Since you're a decent person, I'll make things clear to you. We only pretended to be husband and wife to make it easier for us to establish ourselves in Xingsha County. We are from different worlds, so don't have any more unrealistic fantasies about me."

Although I know I'm too charming and you can't control yourself, please try your best to restrain yourself!

"???"

what are you saying?

Lin Yi's head was buzzing. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that if He Dong had been following him, she might have overheard his conversation with Guan Buping. Good heavens, He Dong actually took his words to heart when he was just trying to fool Guan Buping.

My charm is too great, please bear with it.

Are you trying to make me laugh to death?

You're just a big-breasted, big-butt girl, that's nothing special!

Lin Yi was about to explain when he saw the joy in He Dong's eyes.

Oh? Is this the female ghost?

Even though she gave me the "friend zone" treatment, I'm still happy because I like her.

No, it's because ten thousand gold coins were deposited into the account.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, then held back his words of explanation, simply saying, "I understand."

His expression was indifferent, neither sad nor happy.

He Dong felt a little guilty and quickly brought up the important matter to get the matter over with.

“I left Wang Liang at the local temple. Once I get the ransom, you can take some men to find him. That should earn you some credit. So, I won’t be sharing this money with you.”

"?"

Lin Yi looked at He Dong with a shocked expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

I only knew you were a painted-skin demon, but I never imagined you were a skin-peeling demon!

He Dong felt guilty under Lin Yi's gaze and weakly held up two fingers.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "A 40/60 split is reasonable. After all, you put in more effort, so it's only right that you get 3,000 gold coins."

Upon hearing that Lin Yi had the idea of ​​taking two thousand gold coins, He Dong's voice immediately rose: "What do you mean by splitting it 40/60? I mean I'll give you twenty gold coins. It just so happens that you owe me twenty gold coins, so I'll round it down for you."

As she spoke, she became increasingly uneasy under Lin Yi's gaze, and her voice trailed off.

"How about we just break up? Now I know how I, a hitman, could still owe so much money."

Although he didn't do anything specific in this kidnapping and extortion case, does that mean He Dong can treat the mole like a human being?

Intelligence work is also very important!

He Dongcai panicked when he heard that the group was going to break up.

"Don't do that. How about I erase that nine hundred for you too?"

Her voice trembled as she spoke; clearly, she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

This little money-grubber!

Lin Yi was just venting when he said they were breaking up. Seeing how anxious the kid was, he didn't press the issue any further and decided to call it quits. He said, "Okay, let's leave it at that this time. Next time, our bottom line is a 30/70 split. No matter who contributes more or less, everyone gets at least 30%."

"Ah."

He Dong clutched his chest and reluctantly agreed to the condition.

I'm so upset. I made a lot of money this time, but why do I still feel like I lost a lot?

Seeing He Dong's sad expression, Lin Yi felt instantly pleased, but being a professional, he managed to suppress his laughter.

Looking down, he saw Qin's decapitated body again. Recalling the scene he saw in Liu Mei's memory, Lin Yi sighed, picked up the clothes Qin had taken off, and put them back on her.

Qin had suffered a humiliating experience, but Lin Yi hoped she would leave with dignity.

Still grieving, He Dong saw Lin Yi dealing with other people's funeral arrangements and knew she shouldn't stay there any longer. Sensing that Guan Buping was about to wake up, she quickly stepped into the shadows.

She was actually right there, but others couldn't see her.

Not long after, Guan Buping groggily opened his eyes. By then, Lin Yi had already helped Qin Shi get dressed and put her head back together.

This scene startled Guan Buping so much that he snapped out of his daze.

"what happened?"

Trusting Lin Yi, Guan Buping didn't think the worst of it and instead asked Lin Yi about the situation first.

Lin Yi then recounted everything that had happened after Guan Buping fell into a coma. Upon hearing that Qin Shi had been possessed by a demonic spirit, Guan Buping broke out in a cold sweat.

"What incredible luck we have! We've encountered so many demons and monsters in one day! We rarely see one like this, maybe once every six months."

Lin Yi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are there very few demons?"

"It's not that they are few in number, but that demons are very cunning. By the time we get there after they've finished what they've done, we can hardly find them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi understood.

Jingye Division is like a policeman in a movie or TV series; they are always the last to arrive.

But this can't be blamed on the Jingye Division. In that era, communication was underdeveloped and transportation was inconvenient. By the time the Jingye Division received the news and rushed over, the bodies were already cold.

Therefore, protecting is always more difficult than killing.

"I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky. Being noticed by a demon means you have something they crave, and you might attract other demons in the future. But the demon you encountered this time happens to be a Night Demon. This kind of demon is actually very powerful. Even those with high cultivation levels who have lustful desires will fall for her."

But of all times, I ran into you. Tsk tsk, remember to soak tiger penis in wine when you get back, and add plenty of goji berries.

Lin Yi: "..."

How about we get rid of this boss who loves to overthink things?

Guan Buping examined the demonic markings on Qin's abdomen and confirmed that Lin Yi was telling the truth. He couldn't help but marvel at Lin Yi's good luck.

The tiger demon was underestimated and was killed by him with a sliding tackle. The demon killer encountered a succubus that didn't pose much of a threat.

Based on these two achievements alone, Lin Yi is more than qualified to be the deputy chief constable of a prefecture. Upon returning to Xingsha Prefecture, Lin Yi can be promoted.

"Brother Guan, I want to give Qin a proper burial."

"What? Are you afraid I'll take Qin's body back as evidence? Don't worry, I'll decide on the awarding of merits."

"Thank you, Brother Guan."

Lin Yi did breathe a sigh of relief. After reading Liu Mei's memories and witnessing Qin Shi's humiliation, he had already vowed in his heart to bury her.

If we don't accept this credit, Guan Buping will probably be angry, which will be a real headache.

Now everyone is happy, but Lin Yi thought of Xiao Cao again.

Qin Shi is dead, what will happen to Xiao Cao?

Chapter 16 So your name is Lin Yi.

While Lin Yi was figuring out how to handle the aftermath of the case, He Dong was also busy.

She figured that since Lin Yi had killed Qin Shi, there shouldn't be any other threats in the village, so He Dong went to Xingsha County to check on the situation there.

Upon arriving in Xingsha County, they saw the people from the county governor's office sinking a large box into the Laotang River.

It's my gold!

He Dong's eyes lit up, and he jumped into the water without hesitation.

She transformed into a ghost and sank to the bottom with the box. She entered the water without making a ripple. The officials from the prefectural governor's mansion had all come along, never expecting that someone would take something right under their noses.

He Dong saw that the box had sunk to the riverbed. Without even opening it, he reached in and pulled out a piece of gold. He Dong was so happy that his eyes narrowed.

The people from the prefectural governor's office are really generous; I'll definitely ask them for help again next time.

Thinking this, He Dong also discovered a hidden rune on the box, which was probably for tracking.

Clearly, the people in the prefectural government were unaware of her methods. Although this tracking technique was secretive, to a ghost, these runes were practically dazzling.

He Dong didn't mind; he just wanted to leave the box behind.

She didn't even need to open the box; she took out all the gold inside, swallowed it in one gulp, and stored it in the ghost realm within her body.

Even cloud pouches aren't absolutely safe, but if you keep them in your own ghost realm, they won't get lost or stolen.
