I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Xiao Se felt his heart breaking as he listened to Wu Yun's confession.

Over the years, she and Wuyun have bickered and teased each other, but she has always regarded Wuyun as her most important partner. Seeing Wuyun's lazy and unambitious state, she also felt that she had to take good care of Wuyun. But looking back over the years, it was always Wuyun who took care of her.

Even now, Wu Yun, who was critically injured and on the verge of death while saving her, is still worried about her future.

If she had known to resist from the beginning, even if the Golden Light Talisman was broken, her Qi cultivation level had reached the Five Qi Realm, and dodging those magic-breaking arrows wouldn't have been difficult; at most, she would have suffered minor injuries.

Xiao Se felt deep regret, but Wu Yun got so into acting that he started adding his own scenes.

"Ouch... Meow..."

This time, I risked my life to make the prince realize the pain I've endured. He'll definitely stop tormenting me like that in the future.

Wouldn't that mean we could sleep whenever we wanted?

Wonderful!

Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Xiao Se's heart trembled again, and finally, she stopped casting the talisman.

It must be because of the magic-breaking arrow that her talisman is ineffective.

The fact that the dark clouds are still alive only adds to the suffering.

That being the case...

"I'm sorry, Cloud, it's my fault."

With tears welling in her eyes, Xiao Se raised her hand again.

"I won't let you worry anymore. I'll live well, for you and for myself. Go in peace, I'll help you find peace..."

Upon seeing the lightning in Xiao Se's hand, Wu Yun was immediately taken aback.

Damn it, this shot could turn it to ashes, and I'm really done for now.

Dark Cloud shook itself awake and quickly got to its feet, weakly saying, "I think, maybe I can still be saved?"

With that movement, all the arrows around his body fell to the ground with a clatter.

Xiao Se: "???"

Wu Yun immediately knew he was in trouble. Seeing that the prince's tears were still wet and his face was full of confusion, Wu Yun had a flash of inspiration and said, "I suddenly remembered a legend that cats have nine lives. Maybe I just lost one?"

"Really? Then how about I test whether this rumor is true for you? Anyway, you still have eight lives left, so it's okay to use one to verify it, right?"

dark clouds:"……"

Oh no, the prince is really angry.

The next second, Xiao Se grabbed it by the back of the neck and locked it in his arms.

But the beating she had imagined didn't happen; Xiao Se simply held it tightly and wept silently.

"Young Master, please don't be angry. Meow didn't mean to lie to you. It was your older brother who came up with this bad idea!"

Without hesitation, Wu Yun betrayed Lin Yi. "Better to die than to die myself, kid. Good luck!"

Xiao Se gently stroked Wu Yun's fur and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just happy."

The cloud was neither dead nor would it die; the joy of finding it again made her forget all her anger.

Although she was indeed a little angry, she held onto Wuyun tightly and didn't want to let go.

"Let's go find our eldest brother!"

Xiao Se stood up, holding Wu Yun, and decided to leave this place of trouble.

She had survived tonight's ordeal, but she knew that even fiercer storms were yet to come.

The performance by Wuyun just now was fake, but it made Xiao Se understand a lesson.

She could accept her own death calmly, but those who cared about her could not.

They will try their best to stop them. If they don't intervene, they will only end up fighting alone, and in the end, they will all die together.

She didn't want to see that scene again.

Xiao Se quickly left the scene with Wu Yun in her arms. After confirming that she was not being followed, she entered Lin Yi's house. She thought that Lin Yi must have sneaked back home again, but there was no trace of him being there.

Xiao Se waited there, knowing that if Lin Yi wanted to see her, he would come.

Lin Yi is busy right now!

A post-battle debriefing meeting was essential. Knowing Black Demon's temperament, he feigned a fit of rage and casually killed several assassins. Of the fifty assassins, thirty-three had died at Xiao Se's hands, and two more had been killed by Lin Yi, leaving only fifteen. It could be said that King Liang suffered heavy losses in this round.

Human life is cheap, but training these powerful assassins requires a considerable investment of resources. Even King Liang wasn't that wealthy and powerful, yet he managed to kill over thirty rank-3 assassins without batting an eye.

But the two that Lin Yi casually chopped down were necessary. That's just how Black Demon is; even the assassins can't do anything about it. They shouldn't be the ones to take the blame, but two unlucky guys still ended up.

If it were the Dark Lord himself, four or five unlucky victims would be normal.

"A bunch of useless trash! You couldn't kill even one out of fifty of them, and you even got more than thirty killed yourself! How am I supposed to explain this to the Prince?!"

The assassins were filled with resentment, but dared not speak out.

"All of you, leave. I will send a message to the Prince and await his instructions. You are also to be prepared for the next assassination attempt. If this happens again, you will all have to answer to me with your heads!"

"promise!"

The assassins breathed a sigh of relief; they could finally leave.

Lin Yi then wrote another secret letter to the King of Liang, saying that he had encountered a mysterious expert causing trouble, and he never expected that Xiao Se had quietly cultivated to the third rank.

In short, the blame has been shifted, so Your Highness can punish me as you please; I accept it!

But by then, the first cloud eagle had not yet flown to Liang Wang's camp. By the time it arrived, it was already time for him to sleep.

When King Liang saw this, he thought the plan was excellent. It could kill people and frame Lu Ningchuan. Then he could take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, and then the world would fall apart.

Judging by the timeline, they should have already taken action, or even finished.

I should receive the battle report tomorrow morning.

Since that's the case, then I'll go to sleep first...

Chapter 184 Call Me Sister

After leaving the meeting place, Lin Yi planned to meet Xiao Se, but on the way, he encountered an unexpected person.

Bai Lianxian.

She stood quietly on a rooftop in a white dress, bathed in the soft moonlight, which made her appear ethereal.

This female demon is indeed extremely beautiful, but unfortunately she has some mental issues.

Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn't have needed to avoid her, since having a relationship with a mentally unstable woman is also a crime.

Lin Yi pretended not to see it and was about to jump away when Bai Lianxian shot out a white streak from her sleeve, which immediately wrapped around Lin Yi's hand.

"Young Master Lin, why are you in such a hurry to leave? The night is long, why not come and enjoy the moon with me?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Alright, this female demon may be abnormal, but her cultivation level is truly high.

In a life-or-death struggle, Lin Yi might still have the ability to fight back, but if he doesn't get serious, he can only take a beating.

Left with no other choice, Lin Yi could not refuse and flew to Bai Lianxian's side.

"What are you doing here, Senior Xian'er?"

"Perhaps this is fate!"

Bai Lianxian said with a smile that she was just strolling around Xingsha City when Lin Yi happened to pass by. She also happened to sense Lin Yi's presence, so she had been watching him silently until he finished his business before she showed herself to him.

"Coincidentally, I've also heard some rumors that happen to be related to you, so I've come to tell you about them."

"What rumor?"

"On the fifteenth of September, the night of the full moon, a blood sacrifice will be performed on the demon offspring, and the secret realm will open wide. Someone has spread the word that they're after you, so you'd better be careful. If I'm not mistaken, the remaining half of the treasure map is still on you. You're passing through Xingsha City; are you heading north to Longhu Mountain?"

Lin Yi: "..."

When Bai Lianxian isn't being infatuated, her intelligence is normal!

She actually deduced that he was going to Longhu Mountain just because he appeared in Xingsha City, instead of thinking he was safe and returning to the old place in Xingsha.

"Miss Xian'er is so clever."

Lin Yi was a little unsure what this enchantress was thinking, so he subtly changed how he addressed her.

It's for survival, so it's not shameful.

If Bai Lianxian were to forcefully take it, Lin Yi would give her the other half of the jade pendant, but he wouldn't easily hand it over to Wang Jinxuan; he would try his best to negotiate.

Seeing his tense expression, Bai Lianxian's tone immediately became more mournful.

"You little devil, why are you so afraid of me? Do you think I would bear to eat you? Someone as good-looking as you deserves to be cherished."

Lin Yi: "..."

If you didn't say things like that, I wouldn't be afraid of you, I would be pursuing you.

Of all the girls he'd met, Bai Lianxian was the first one who made him afraid to take the initiative to pursue her, and even made him think about running away.

He was always in control and victorious in front of Qu Jing, He Dong, and Jiang Linglong, but he repeatedly suffered setbacks with Bai Lianxian.

It's all because Bai Lianxian was too proactive. If Lin Yi hadn't been more firm in his refusal, he might have been in the 404 stage right away.

Seeing Bai Lianxian's resentful expression, Lin Yi had no choice but to change the subject, asking, "Who released that news, and what evidence do you have?"

"That's not important."

Bai Lianxian was easily swayed by Lin Yi's change of topic, and then explained to Lin Yi: "Whether this news is true or false, there will always be stupid people who believe it, bad people who believe it, and people who are both stupid and bad. As long as they believe it, they will come to cause you trouble. I see that your cultivation is quite good, but you may not be able to stop them all. Even if you can, you can only protect yourself. It will not be easy to protect your disciple."

Bai Lianxian was making a statement: she was both intelligent and kind-hearted, so she wouldn't harm Lin Yi and Wang Jinxuan, thus lessening her little nemesis's fear of her. At the same time, she was also implying to Lin Yi that he could ask her for help if he encountered any problems he couldn't solve!

To be honest, Lin Yi was quite adorable when he was afraid of her, and also when he needed something and was forced to compromise in front of her.

Some people don't even know what strange quirks they have until they meet someone they like.

Lin Yi understood Bai Lianxian's implication, but he didn't intend to ask her for help.

This succubus, lusting after his body, will definitely make excessive demands.

As for trouble, he can actually handle it.
