I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Xiao Cao suddenly asked such a question. Lin Yi didn't know what she was thinking, but he just replied, "Maybe there are, but I haven't seen them. There are only some ghosts and monsters, but we've killed them all. The city is basically safe."

The fundamental reason is that what people in the city need to worry about is not demons or monsters, but humanity itself.

There's no need to elaborate on the little grass.

"Are you people who specialize in killing monsters?"

"That's it."

"Can I join you?"

When Xiaocao said those words, her eyes regained their light.

Lin Yi really wanted to tell her that a girl shouldn't think about these things.

However, not wanting to make her even more desperate, Lin Yi still said, "If you practice martial arts diligently, you might have a chance."

"Thank you, Brother Lin. I want to go with you."

Looking at Xiaocao's tender face and mature eyes, Lin Yi couldn't help but pat her head.

"If you want to cry, cry out loud. From now on, be a strong little grass."

"Ah."

Xiaocao threw herself into Lin Yi's arms, but she didn't cry loudly. Her body just trembled slightly as she tried to express her emotions as quietly as possible.

The next morning, Lin Yi helped Qin Shi with her funeral arrangements.

Roll up a straw mat, find a place to dig a hole and bury her; that was the end for Qin Shi.

Coffins are not cheap; the village chief said the cheapest coffin costs at least 10,000 coins.

No wonder it's popular to talk about saving money for your coffin these days. Indeed, 10,000 yuan is only two months' salary for Lin Yi, but for most people, it might really take half a lifetime to save up that amount.

In this regard, Lin Yi did not pursue dignity. He buried the person, took everything Xiaocao needed, bid farewell to the old village chief, and rode Feidu back to Xingsha City.

Adopting a teenage girl is a challenge for Lin Yi, especially since there's a thousand-year-old ghost in the house.

However, He Dong was quite considerate of Lin Yi. When Lin Yi brought Xiao Cao home, He Dong, as the hostess, appropriately expressed her enthusiasm and even tidied up the small room for Xiao Cao to live in from now on.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards He Dong for doing this much for him.

Aside from being a bit greedy, this female ghost is pretty good in every other way.

Hopefully, she will have a smooth passage through her tribulation in a few days!

Having not slept since yesterday morning, and having his blood sucked by a zombie last night, Lin Yi was exhausted. He took off his clothes, climbed into bed, and fell fast asleep.

About fifteen minutes later, He Dong had settled Xiao Cao in and went to the main room to talk to Lin Yi about raising Xiao Cao, since they both had a secret.

When He Dong came in and saw that Lin Yi was sleeping, she had no choice but to give up. Knowing that Lin Yi was busy day and night, she didn't want to disturb his sleep.

But as soon as she leaned closer to Lin Yi, she smelled the alluring fragrance.

I'll just take a sip, not too much, so it won't affect his body and won't count as getting involved in karma, right?

Chapter 22 Nightmare

There are three ways to absorb a person's yang energy.

The simplest way is to put your mouth to your mouth.

The mouth is the center of human energy and the place where yang energy is most concentrated.

Another place with the strongest yang energy is an indescribable place, which is also the most common method used by ghosts and monsters.

Many weaker demons are no match for even adult men; when brute force fails, they can only resort to indescribable methods.

He Dong, being a serious person, would naturally disdain using either of these methods.

If that's the case, then there can only be the third option.

The third method is the method of entering dreams, which involves stimulating a person's emotions in a dream and then feeding on the dream. This is a relatively high-end technique. There is a monster in the world that specializes in creating nightmares and sucking away people's yang energy; people call it a nightmare.

The concept of yin and yang is interdependent. There are nightmares that specifically create nightmares, and there are also dream-eating creatures that specifically eat nightmares to protect human dreams.

Besides these two, to enter or even control a person's dream, one needs to master special secret techniques.

Coincidentally, He Dong was the Ghost King who knew this secret technique.

“I’ll go into his dream and scare him a little, then I’ll take a breath of his yang energy and leave.”

He Dong even planned out what kind of dream Lin Yi would have, because the only things that could truly move people's hearts, besides a dream of spring, were nightmares.

Coincidentally, Lin Yi was already dreaming when He Dong entered her dream. The scene was still in this room. As soon as she entered her dream, He Dong heard an indescribable sound. When she looked at the bed, she was almost furious.

It was she who made the indescribable sounds in Lin Yi's dream; she was sitting next to Lin Yi...

"Damn it, he actually did that to me in my dream! How disgusting!"

He Dong was both ashamed and angry. Although Lin Yi hadn't actually done anything to her, it was just a dream, but He Dong had seen it, and she felt as if Lin Yi had molested her.

No wonder she could smell the yang energy as soon as she entered the room; it turned out Lin Yi was already dreaming.

"I'll scare you to death!"

Under He Dong's control, her image in Lin Yi's dream changed drastically. Her fair skin was covered in hideous wounds, cracked open, blood and tears flowed from her eyes, and her mouth was split open to its maximum size as she bit at Lin Yi.

In order to get revenge on Lin Yi, she no longer cared about her image.

Sure enough, Lin Yi sprang up with a roar, and the dream shattered instantly.

Because Lin Yi had already woken up.

Lin Yi was still shaken when he woke up. When he saw He Dong standing by the bed, he shrank back in fright, wrinkling the mattress.

He Dong was inwardly laughing, but pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

She tried her best to show her gentle side, which gradually calmed Lin Yi down.

He nodded, which was considered an answer to He Dong's question. He Dong then asked, "What did you dream about?"

I dreamt about you.

Lin Yi planned to share the second half of his dream with He Dong. If he wanted to get closer to He Dong, he had to start by treating her as an ordinary person.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, He Dong suddenly revealed a strange smile.

He Dong used illusion magic to almost completely recreate the dream. She said softly, "Is this how it is?"

Holy crap!

Lin Yi jumped up on the spot, grabbed the bronze mirror from the bedside table, and was about to smash it when he saw He Dong back to his original self, laughing so hard that his breasts were shaking.

"Hahahaha, hahaha..."

He Dong slapped the bed and laughed wildly. Lin Yi realized what was happening and his face turned dark.

Goodness, is this female ghost really that perverse?

Is it funny?

"No, it's not funny."

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"I remembered something happy."

Lin Yi: "..."

No fucking to say.

Having his mood ruined by the nightmare and then startled by He Dong, Lin Yi was wide awake and had no desire to sleep. Looking outside, he saw it was dusk again, almost time for the night shift police to begin their duties.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at He Dong, then went to get the Jingye Division uniform and put it on, saying, "Keep having fun, I'm going to go on duty."

I've remembered the grudge that turned a spring dream into a nightmare.

Once I've mastered my cultivation, I'll definitely pound you into the ground and grind you into the dirt!

As soon as Lin Yi left, He Dong unscrupulously absorbed the yang energy that Lin Yi had released.

So pure, so masculine.

He Dong even felt a slight warmth in the cold ghost body. Was human yang energy really this delicious?

But He Dong could clearly sense that the aura emanating from others was not as alluring as that from Lin Yi.

Perhaps Lin Yi's body is special!

One bite wasn't enough!

He Dong began to regret it.

If she hadn't inhaled that yang energy in the first place, she would have at most been tempted, but after inhaling it, she felt that she might not be able to resist Lin Yi the next time she saw him.

Even though Lin Yi has only been gone a short time, she has already begun to miss his yang energy.

"Oh no, this yang energy is poisonous!"

Lin Yi had no idea that He Dong had his eye on his yang energy. Since this had never happened before, he hadn't taken any precautions.

Lin Yi strolled over to the Jingye Division and had dinner there for free.

It wasn't that he was short of money for a meal, it was just a habit.

In the three months since he transmigrated, he has eaten meals cooked by He Dong.

Although He Dong doesn't eat, in order to conceal his identity, smoke would be lit in his house every day at mealtimes.

However, this ghost, despite her gentle and virtuous appearance, couldn't cook at all. Lin Yi had even tried to act it out, but after taking a bite of He Dong's cooking, he almost died on the spot.

After that, he would rather expose his abnormality than touch He Dong's cooking again.

Therefore, eating at the Jingyesi (Jingyesi) office had become a habit.

The food at the yamen was really just so-so. Food was generally bad in this era. Of course, the nobles could enjoy exquisite food, but for constables like them, having meat in their meals every day was already considered quite good.

Previously, under the threat of death, Lin Yi ate at the government canteen every day and was quite content with it. But today, when he put a mouthful of coarse rice in his mouth, he just couldn't swallow it.

It tastes absolutely awful!

What's the point of my life if I have to eat such awful food every day?

Lin Yi suddenly began to reflect.
