I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

A charming young girl arrived at the deserted entrance of the Jingye Division's yamen.

Having decided to follow her mysterious master's instructions and join the Jingye Division, Shang Chang'er naturally adopted her original appearance.

She even dressed up specially, wanting to amaze Lin Yi, which was also a psychological suggestion given by A Qi.

however……

She arrived at the Jingye Division and met the gatekeeper, but Master Qin told her, "Last night, Chief Constable Lin sent an urgent message saying that Lingling was in dire need of help. He went to help and doesn't know when he will return. Deputy Chief Constable Xiao also went with him. If you want to join the Jingye Division, you can go and find Chief Constable Chen."

Shang Chang'er: "..."

Your company is really chaotic; is this some kind of nested doll situation?

Isn't there a proper chief constable?

While mentally ranting and raving, Shang Chang'er still quietly asked A Qi, "Master, do I still need to stay here?"

Ah Qi: "..."

She sensed something was amiss, but she also knew that Shang Chang'er was a clever person and didn't fully trust her yet. She had previously said she wanted to join the Jingye Division, but it wasn't for Lin Yi's sake. If Lin Yi wasn't there, she wouldn't join the Jingye Division. With Shang Chang'er's sensitivity, she would definitely notice something was wrong.

That would be detrimental to her future development. She could certainly find a new host, but where could she find someone as useful as Shang Chang'er?

"Wherever you are, you're always slaying demons and monsters, dedicated to protecting the people. Could it be that you've fallen for that kid?"

"No way!"

Shang Chang'er quickly denied it shyly: "I just thought he was a good person, but he invited me and then didn't show up himself."

There was a slight complaint in her words, but she still went to find Chen Huaiyuan.

Ah Qi lamented in his heart, "My sage, where have you gone!"

The sage is grilling meat by the river.

Although He Dong had tried his best to reduce the power of the Ghost Domain, Xiao Cao and Wang Jinxuan were still struggling to cope in the icy and snowy conditions. So after dawn, He Dong released them. Lin Yi started a fire and took out the ingredients stored in the cloud bag.

It has vegetables, staple food, and meat, so the nutrition is quite balanced.

I only meant well at the time, spending money to buy a lot of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. I never expected that they would actually come in handy now. Being able to enjoy delicious food on the run is quite comfortable.

They were already quite far from Xingsha City.

He Dong's speed in the water is close to 30 kilometers per hour, which is her normal speed. Her burst speed can reach 250 kilometers per hour, but she can't maintain that speed for long. Otherwise, she could have carried Lin Yi away from danger by speeding through the water.

Currently, they are about 120 kilometers away from Xingsha City. The water flow is not a straight line, and Lin Yi also cleared several jungle camps along the way.

With his cultivation level halved, Lin Yi only managed to gain fifty years of cultivation, which was better than nothing.

Wang Jinxuan was still somewhat sullen. Lin Yi was a soft-hearted person after all. Seeing Wang Jinxuan like this, he grilled a crab leg and handed it to him, saying, "Eat your fill first. We still have a long way to go. It's not like we'll never come back. Just think of this trip as a leisurely stroll. Didn't you always want to travel the world with a sword?"

"Perhaps this is a case of 'Lord Ye loves dragons' (a Chinese idiom meaning someone who is terr

Wang Jinxuan said self-deprecatingly, "I used to say that I didn't want to be stuck at home and wanted to see the outside world and the sky outside, but I never thought that when that day really came, I would not be happy at all, but only afraid."

I'm so scared...

Wang Jinxuan's voice trembled slightly, but Lin Yi said nonchalantly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Lin Yi used to give people a great sense of security when he wore his uniform, and he also really enjoyed the feeling of protecting others, and he still does now.

Xiao Se: "..."

Wow, so her older brother is actually a very protective person?

Would this apply to anyone, not just her?

Xiao Se's feelings became quite complicated. On the one hand, she admired Lin Yi's character, but on the other hand, she was annoyed that Lin Yi didn't only want to protect her.

Wuyun nestled in her arms, gazing longingly at the crab meat in Lin Yi's hand. It smelled so good; she wanted it so badly.

Humans experience different joys and sorrows, and so do humans and cats.

After listening to Lin Yi's words, Wang Jinxuan, unusually, did not have any wild thoughts, or rather, she was not in the mood for wild thoughts at the moment.

"Thank you."

"Don't be shy, eat well, then get some sleep, and then you need to cheer up!"

Faced with such a major change, Lin Yi could understand Wang Jinxuan's low spirits, but he couldn't let her stay down like this forever.

Only by pulling herself together can she face her destiny.

As the daughter of the Demon Emperor, her fate was destined to be turbulent from birth. If it weren't for the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, things would be fine, but with this thing, Wang Jinxuan was destined to never have peace.

If she wants to live the life she desires, she can only rely on absolute power.

Alternatively, he could relinquish the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, lie low, and live a peaceful life. It all depends on Wang Jinxuan's choice.

Encouraged by Lin Yi, Wang Jinxuan knew she couldn't continue like this, so she ate crab meat heartily, showing no ladylike manners whatsoever.

Seeing this, Lin Yi felt relieved.

Xiao Cao also handed Wang Jinxuan some of the meat she had grilled, as a way of showing her care for her big friend Wang Jinxuan.

Although the two were of different backgrounds, their fates were similar, and they could be considered to be in the same boat.

"What should we do after we arrive in Lingling?"

After Lin Yi had calmed Wang Jinxuan down, He Dong pulled him aside to discuss what to do next.

Although one demon king is restraining another, they are essentially jumping from a wolf's den to a tiger's lair. The difference is that they have provoked the wolves, but not the tigers yet.

However, with the addition of Wang Jinxuan, the son of the Demon Emperor, if the news leaks and the Poison Lady learns that Lin Yi has taken Wang Jinxuan to Lingling, the Poison Lady and the Demon King of Lingling may join forces to develop the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.

"After we arrive in Lingling, we'll just find a place to play for a couple of days, and then we'll return to Xingsha."

"???"

He Dong was completely bewildered.

Weren't we out here to escape for our lives? How come you've turned it into us traveling around having fun?

Why go back?

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. I escaped just to create a false impression. If Madam Poison isn't stupid, she will definitely track us down. Our horses should have been intercepted and killed by Madam Poison's men yesterday."

Soon, she will know that I took Wang Jinxuan and fled Xingsha City. If her spies are more discerning, she will also know that my destination is Lingling County, and then she will pursue me by waterway.

"Wouldn't that put us in great danger?"

"No, she will split her forces, one part coming in our direction and the other part going in the opposite direction."

How could Madam Poison determine whether he was really going to Lingling County?

Since she couldn't figure it out, Madam Poison would definitely split her forces into two groups. She was determined to obtain the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm and would absolutely not give Lin Yi any chance to escape with his men.

However, given the two directions, she can only choose one to pursue, and there's no guarantee that something won't happen. So, the most likely scenario is that she sends people to both sides, while she stays in the center to ensure that if either side encounters an enemy, she can provide support as quickly as possible and suppress the entire situation with absolute power.

Don't ask Lin Yi how he calculated it so clearly; it's all written in the Demon-Slaying Manual...

Chapter 155 Do You Mind Crossdressing?

Although the Demon-Slaying Manual had some limitations, Lin Yi still managed to make the most of it, spending his free time checking on Madam Poison's activities, almost to the point of setting her as a special contact.

If the Demon-Slaying Manual really has this function.

Another person we are paying special attention to, Jiang Linglong, is still in the midst of a battle.

The fight has been going on for a whole day and night, and it hasn't stopped yet. Lin Yi couldn't help but worry about her.

However, he still needs to undergo two more tribulations to reach the level of Jiang Linglong in combat. Going there now would only cause her trouble. Therefore, Lin Yi will not go west until Jiang Linglong's battle is resolved, so as not to cause trouble for Jiang Linglong.

As for his claim that he wandered around for two days before returning to Changsha, he said it was to observe when Jiang Linglong would go back.

If Jiang Linglong replies, he will reply; if she doesn't reply, he will have to find another way to retrieve it.

Like a sniper, you have to move to a different spot after each shot.

He Dong was impressed by Lin Yi's analysis; in terms of meticulousness, she was still slightly inferior.

So she stopped asking questions to avoid Lin Yi revealing too much of his plan. She just wanted him to know what he was doing and for her to simply follow along.

"You've changed so much since then."

He Dong said with emotion, "You wouldn't have thought about these things before. It was all thanks to me that you escaped from the Hundred Ghosts Gate."

Lin Yi: "..."

When the topic turned to the past, Lin Yi could only chuckle awkwardly a few times before saying, "Everyone's pretty much full. I'll go take care of things and we'll get ready to leave!"

After extinguishing the fire, Lin Yi led the group out of the grove, saying, "We're still in pursuit. The horses we released earlier had our original appearances on them. If the enemy is chasing us, they'll pay extra attention to groups of two men and three women. So, Dong'er, turn into a painting and hide in my arms!"

He Dong has already shown his Ghost Domain. They've all been through thick and thin together, so there's no need to hide such a small matter anymore.

So, He Dong transformed into a paper doll and was placed in Lin Yi's arms.

It was warm and quite comfortable, and she didn't resist it at all.

Lin Yi also came up with a way to combine the five people into one: He Dong would take the others into the Ghost Realm, and Lin Yi would take He Dong into his arms, so that the five people would become one.

This is only a backup plan for emergencies, and hopefully we won't have to use it.

After putting He Dong away, Lin Yi said to Xiao Se, "I think you're quite good-looking. Would you mind changing into women's clothing?"

Xiao Se: "..."

Lin Yi knew that in this era, it was a great insult for a man to be called a woman. There was a scene in Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Zhuge Liang sent women's clothing to Sima Yi.

The novel wouldn't have been written this way if it weren't for such a humiliating disgrace.

Therefore, Lin Yi's question was asked with considerable caution.

If Xiao Se doesn't change, then he'll be the only one who can come.

However, he was more masculine than Xiao Se, so wearing women's clothing might look incongruous.

In comparison, Lin Yi imagined what Xiao Se would look like in women's clothing and found that she might look just as good in women's clothes, and there was no sense of incongruity.

"This……"

Xiao Se was indeed shocked. She even wondered if her silly older brother suspected her identity, but then she thought that she knew her brother was simple-minded, so he probably didn't think that much about it.

Sure enough, Lin Yi immediately said, "Actually, you don't have to force yourself if you don't want to. I have other ways."

This method is better. If Xiao Se wears women's clothing, those who want to assassinate her will not be able to find a target. Who would have thought that a prince would wear women's clothing?
