I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Everyone is celebrating today, but you can't eat anything, so I've prepared special food for you."

"What?"

He Dong tilted his head in confusion, and Lin Yi laughed, "Of course it's me! This bite is free today, you can eat as much as you want."

"..."

He Dongke was startled by Lin Yi. Before, when they kissed, it was always where no one could see them. This place... wasn't that a bit too daring?

The campfire was very bright, so the corners were also very dark. Plus, there were many people nearby, so it felt especially exciting.

Come here, give me a kiss.

As Lin Yi spoke, he put his arm around He Dong's waist, leaving her no choice but to pin her against the wall.

After kissing him repeatedly, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "So sweet."

"Nonsense, it should have no taste at all."

He Dong takes meticulous care of his skin, using a constant low-temperature sterilization system to keep it much cleaner than normal skin, and naturally, it has no odor whatsoever.

"It's sweet because the thought of you as my lover makes my heart feel sweet."

Even if they've never been in a relationship, they can still spout witty remarks without hesitation.

Even though He Dong had been a ghost for over a thousand years, he couldn't resist Lin Yi's sweet words.

She finally understood why words like "sweet words" exist, since words themselves have no flavor.

It was as if she didn't have a heart, yet she still felt a sweet warmth flowing through her chest.

"Do you taste the sweetness?"

Lin Yi asked flirtatiously, while playing with He Dong's small hand.

"No."

He Dong turned her head away haughtily, and Lin Yi leaned close to her ear and deliberately blew on it, saying, "Then try it again."

Whether it's sweet or not, you'll find out if you try a few more bites.

On the other side, Xiao Se saw that Lin Yi and He Dong had been gone for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored.

She was rather aloof to others, and even the maids and servants she had bought dared not speak to her casually, for fear of offending someone.

Even though Lin Yi said that everyone is equal, feudal ideas are deeply ingrained in people's minds. Xiao Se is obviously a noble person, unlike them who were saved by their master. If Xiao Se talks to them, they will naturally be apprehensive. If Xiao Se doesn't speak, they will also be quiet.

On the other hand, Wang Jinxuan was getting along very well with several maids, talking about all the silly things he had done as a child, and quickly became friends with everyone.

However, she was cautious and did not reveal any details about her background.

Xiao Se knew her judgment was correct; Wang Jinxuan wasn't as foolish as she seemed, and she had her own plans. But she had to admit that getting along with her would be very pleasant.

Laughter and cheerful voices echoed through the air, contrasting sharply with the desolate chill on Xiaose's side.

The two maids who shared a barbecue stall with Xiao Se were as quiet as chickens, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

Xiao Se knew that he looked rather intimidating, but he couldn't learn Wang Jinxuan's ability to mingle with people, so he got up and said, "You guys eat first, I'm going to see where my older brother went and why he hasn't come back yet."

She was just looking for an excuse to leave; if she had left without saying anything, she might have scared people.

But after taking only a few steps, she heard a strange panting sound.

Driven by curiosity, Xiao Se glanced in the direction of the sound, then immediately hid.

The two of them actually!

There are still so many people here, how dare you!

How strange, but let's take another look.

Xiao Se crouched in the corner, observing secretly, unaware that with Lin Yi's keen hearing, even if he was focused on flirting with He Dong, he could still hear Xiao Se's movements.

He then deliberately said, "Your relationship with Xiao Se seems to have improved recently?"

"No way!"

He Dong felt a surge of anger when she thought of Xiao Se, that infuriating woman, but then she remembered that Xiao Se had kindly given her advice in the end, so she changed her mind and said, "I just suddenly realized that she's not so bad after all."

She could be considered a vixen, but not such a despicable one.

Lin Yi: "..."

Here she comes, here she comes, the proud and aloof one.

Lin Yi then tugged at He Dong's cheek and said seriously, "Of course I know Xiao Se is a good person, but in your heart, there can only be one good person, and everyone else is a bad person. Do you understand?"

"Huh? Huh? Huh!"

Although He Dong was a bit slow to understand, he still grasped Lin Yi's meaning and exclaimed "Eh!" several times, becoming more and more excited with each exclamation.

She then realized that from Lin Yi's perspective, Xiao Se was actually a man.

After He Dong figured it out, he couldn't help but grin and keep smiling.

"why are you laughing?"

"Hmph, of course I'm laughing at you? Seeing how sincerely you're begging me, I'll reluctantly agree. But don't misunderstand, even if we're close, it doesn't mean I have to obey. Whether or not I pay attention to others depends on my mood."

Xiao Se: "..."

What kind of mess is this!

Unlike He Dong's sweet and soothing mood, Xiao Se could only feel the taste of the citron juice she had just eaten in her mouth and heart.

Citron tastes and looks similar to lemon, but there are some differences. Lin Yi didn't know if it was the ancestor of lemon. Anyway, he happened to see it on a tree when he went out for a walk and picked some.

Lin Yi also tried it; it was more sour than the lemon juice from the future, but had a unique flavor.

Drinking a little after a barbecue can help cut through the greasiness.

Xiao Se also drank it, but only now did the sourness seep into his heart.

Unable to bear listening any longer, I quietly slipped away.

After laughing at Lin Yi, He Dong asked, "Since you're wary of her, why did you become sworn brothers with her?"

She made up her mind that she would find an opportunity to provoke Xiao Se and make her know what would happen if she offended her.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se, who hadn't intended to eavesdrop, stopped and stood still.

"I'm not wary of her; I trust my second brother's character."

"Humph."

Xiao Se snorted inwardly, feeling slightly better, but then heard He Dong also snort, "You mean you don't trust me?"

"Of course not."

Lin Yi remained calm despite the potentially disastrous question, replying, "It's just that I'm worried and confused. Just like when you initially disliked Xiao Se, wasn't it because you were worried that something might be going on between me and Xiao Se? Don't you trust me either?"

"Hmph, of course I don't believe you. When Xiao Se put on women's clothes, your heart rate increased significantly. Don't think I'm just a pretty face and don't feel anything."

Lin Yi: "..."

This is awkward, since Xiao Se is still listening!

He Dong had no idea about this, so she seized the opportunity to ask, "Tell me, if Xiao Se wasn't a man, would you be attracted to him?"

"Well..."

When faced with this potentially disastrous question, Lin Yi hesitated.

After all, he was a fairly honest person. He thought about it seriously for a while, mainly because Xiao Se was listening. If he answered that he would like it, it would inevitably make the atmosphere between them gay. But, I mean, I mean, what if.

It would be strange not to like such a beautiful girl!

"You're actually thinking about it!"

Enraged, He Dong kicked Lin Yi hard in the knee, instantly diminishing any slight goodwill he had developed towards Xiao Se.

This vixen is indeed terrifying. She even tried to distract me from being wary of Wang Jinxuan. How insidious!

When Lin Yi looked at Wang Jinxuan, it was as if he were looking at a younger sister, the kind of caring look that comes from someone with intellectual disabilities. When he looked at Xiao Cao, it was as if he were looking at a well-behaved younger sister. But when Xiao Se, his brother, revealed his true form, his heart was pounding.

It's obvious at a glance who poses the greater threat!

Her initial wariness of Xiao Se was correct!

Lin Yi knew he had made a big mistake, but who could blame him when He Dong proposed such an enticing hypothetical scenario? It was like having two girls, one beautiful and fond of spending money, and the other rich but not so beautiful, and he could only choose one of them.

Even if many people have no connection with these two, they will still subconsciously think about it!

"I was just imagining things. If I answered without hesitation, I would definitely be lying to you, right?"

"So, have you thought it through now? Are you tempted?"

Tonight, He Dong was like a war god, leaving Lin Yi in a dilemma.

Xiao Se was the first to lose her composure. She was already somewhat flustered by the conversation between the two, and fearing that she would hear something even more unsettling, she quickly took a few steps and made a sound.

Lin Yi was overjoyed; his second brother knew how to care for his older brother.

"Second brother?"

Lin Yi pretended to only just notice Xiao Se, and Xiao Se pretended not to have heard anything, feigning confusion as she said, "You guys are here? I was just wandering around and accidentally ended up here. You guys continue!"

With that, Xiao Se slipped away as if fleeing.

"Oh no, my second brother must have misunderstood something. I'll go talk to her about it."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he quickly made his escape.

He Dong was thoroughly outmaneuvered by the two's coordinated attack and could only kick a stone on the ground in frustration.

Sometimes, having no answer is itself an answer.

While Lin Yi was putting on a youthful romance drama here, Madam Poison, who had been waiting all day in Lingling County, had begun to suspect Yao Sheng.

Was my prediction wrong, or is there a mole among my accomplices?

I've been weaving the net for ages, why hasn't anyone come yet?

"Your Majesty!"

A large fluttering moth flew over; it was also a little monster, captured by the Poison Lady before, and now working as her scout.

"What, has the person arrived?"
