I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Seeing Bao Sanniang so heartbroken, Guan Buping raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.

Perhaps Lin Yi was right back then.

Even if he was about to die, he should let Bao Sanniang know his feelings, so that at least Bao Sanniang wouldn't have any regrets in the future.

The worst outcome is what I'm seeing now; I'm on the verge of death, and Bao Sanniang has already discovered my feelings for her.

Guan Buping even considered denying it one last time, since he could just explain it as a friendly act of helping each other out.

But Guan Buping changed his mind once he had the words on the tip of his tongue.

Lies don't mean much; at least, Bao Sanniang has known that all these years.

She might be even more upset if she said those words on her deathbed.

"Someone else said the same thing, but by the time I regretted it, it was too late. If there were an afterlife..."

Guan Buping's eyes, which were gradually becoming cloudy, looked at Bao Sanniang. Bao Sanniang's appearance was already somewhat blurry in his eyes, but his hand still touched her face.

This is something he has always wanted to do.

The woman's face was indeed soft; unfortunately, this was the first and last time he would ever touch it...

"This is unfair!"

Bao Sanniang's voice was loud, yet it seemed to grow distant. Everything before him gradually blurred, but in a daze, he heard several voices approaching from afar...

Chapter 255 You definitely can't move this place.

Is there any hope?

"I doubt it. How about turning him into a ghost? Love can exist between humans and ghosts too."

"Ghosts are the gathering of yin energy, and they are harmful to people when they stay with them."

"What are you implying now?!"

Guan Buping felt a headache coming on as he listened to the chattering of several women. He opened his eyes groggily and found that he was still alive, but lying on the edge of the bed surrounded by a group of people.

Bao Sanniang's eyes were red, and Qu Jing looked at him with great concern. Lin Yi and Xiao Se were also present, as were Wang Jinxuan and Xiao Cao.

Guan Buping found it strange that so many people were there; it was as if everyone was waiting for a feast.

"How come I'm not dead?"

Guan Buping asked in confusion. Lin Yi had just stopped the little zombie and the little ghost who were about to quarrel as usual. Hearing Guan Buping's question, he replied, "It's a long story. To make a long story short, I saved you, but not completely. I just kept you on the verge of death!"

After Qu Jing sensed her unease, Lin Yi suggested speeding up the return trip.

He summoned He Dong and used his Ghost Domain to trap everyone else inside. Lin Yi then carried the painting that He Dong had transformed into and traveled thousands of miles.

As for the large ship, it was left to the royal family's servants who had received severance pay but had not yet been sent back.

That boat was very expensive, and He Dong felt heartbroken for a long time.

It was because Lin Yi ran fast that they were able to arrive in time. Seeing that Guan Buping was almost dead, Jiang Linglong quickly took out the soup she had been simmering for a long time and gave Guan Buping a sip.

Two demon kings and a wisp of dragon energy cooked a pot of soup, and even just one sip saved his life.

However, it is impossible to cure Guan Buping.

Qu Jing took Guan Buping's pulse and could see that all five internal organs were damaged and the six bowels were injured, and his essence and energy were still being lost.

If we compare the human body to a reservoir, then vital energy is the water inside. An unbalanced body is like a reservoir riddled with holes, constantly leaking water. When the water runs out, the person will naturally die.

He could certainly use tonics to prolong his life, but the same tonics would become less effective if taken in excess.

If you really want to survive, you have to find a way to plug the loopholes.

To be honest, it's quite difficult.

Otherwise, He Dong wouldn't have come up with such a terrible idea as turning him into a ghost.

However, to be fair, Lin Yi felt that if he were to die one day, he would choose to become a ghost rather than be reincarnated.

After being reincarnated, losing all memories and having a different body and flesh, can this still be considered the same person?

So, if you can become a ghost, don't miss the chance; at least you can do it again.

Now that Guan Buping has woken up, Lin Yi is discussing with him what to do next.

If Jiang Linglong's soup could save lives, Lin Yi would have swallowed his pride and asked for it to give to her, but it couldn't soothe his body; no matter how much he ate, it wouldn't make a difference.

Taking too many tonics can also harm your health, not to mention that Jiang Linglong's soup is made with highly nourishing ingredients. It was only because Guan Buping was on the verge of death that she had to use strong medicine, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to drink this sip.

"Brother Guan, do you want to be a ghost or a zombie? Choose one, and I will do my best to help you achieve it."

Guan Buping: "..."

Can't I just be a human being?

He looked at Bao Sanniang, and their eyes met. That one glance spoke volumes.

Lin Yi exclaimed that it was so sweet!

Although it's a love story between a handsome older man and a beautiful older woman, whose age groups seem incompatible with his young and fresh-faced self, the sweetness of their romance is just too irresistible. Lin Yi wants another bowl of this lovey-dovey stuff.

"Brother Guan, stop being human and become a zombie! I'll take you to catch bad guys every day and help you get stronger. As long as you're strong enough, your body will still be no different from a normal person. Besides, zombies are tough enough!"

Guan Buping didn't immediately understand Lin Yi's lewd joke, but Jiang Linglong gave Lin Yi a kind look.

Last time you said her lips were soft, this time you're saying the zombie's are hard, humph!

"It's not that there's no way to soften the body. If handled properly, high-end zombies are no different from humans, except that they are not human."

Jiang Linglong gave him blaring hints, but Lin Yi was so engrossed in shipping the two that he didn't notice.

He Dong felt aggrieved upon hearing this.

Lin Yi's first recommendation was to become a zombie, not a ghost; ultimately, he still disliked her because she only had a skin...

Jiang Linglong and Lin Yi strongly recommended it, but Guan Buping made the final decision.

He shook his head and refused, saying, "Once you become a zombie or a ghost, you can no longer enter the cycle of reincarnation."

People in this era have different ideas. They believe that reincarnation is also a continuation of themselves, and that a good relationship that cannot be formed in this life may have a chance in the next life.

If he were to truly become a zombie or a ghost, then he would truly have no chance at all.

Bao Sanniang is the chief steward of the Jingye Division. As a guardian, how could she associate with demons and monsters!

"Chief Constable Guan, there's no need to give up so soon. I know a man in the capital who is a medical genius. Perhaps he can find a solution."

Xiao Se stepped forward and offered suggestions that any normal person would make.

If you have a health problem, shouldn't you go to the doctor?

Perfect timing! The token she gave Lin Yi before could be used to find that miracle doctor.

She had given him the token because she thought Lin Yi had health problems. Now that she knew how powerful Lin Yi was, the token was useless to him and she would rather give it to someone who needed it.

"Young Master Xiao, thank you very much."

Qu Jing quickly thanked Xiao Se, as this suggestion was the most useful at the moment and something Guan Buping couldn't refuse.

"Which part of the capital? We'll go there now."

Bao Sanniang was already impatient. Guan Buping's body was leaking air every moment, and she didn't want to delay as long as it could be done as soon as possible.

Lin Yi had no choice but to take out the token, and Xiao Se went over to explain to Bao Sanniang in detail how to find the person.

Guan Buping kept glancing over there, and Lin Yi couldn't help but tease him, "Don't worry, although my second brother is good-looking, Manager Bao definitely doesn't like that type. He prefers someone like you with a decadent, middle-aged vibe."

"Go away, you're being so disrespectful to your senior uncle!"

Ha, I'm not just disrespectful to my senior uncle, I'm also quite respectful to my master!

But the two are close, and it was just a joke.

After laughing, Guan Buping became serious.

“It seems that Third Sister wants to come with me. If she does, the strength of Jingye Division in Xingsha County and even Xiangzhou will be greatly reduced.”

Guan Buping looked at Lin Yi, sighed, and said, "You're not a honest kid, but I know you mean well, so I have a favor to ask."

"what?"

“When we’re not around, if you can, please help the Jingye Division. The court is in turmoil, and demons and monsters will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. In any case, it is the innocent people who suffer.”

Of course, do everything within your capabilities and don't force yourself.

Guan Buping knew that Lin Yi was still entangled in a lot of trouble, so he didn't force him. He just hoped that Lin Yi could help as many innocent people as possible.

"You can rest assured, I will do my best."

Lin Yi had no reason to refuse. He also needed to grind monsters anyway, and Guan Buping hadn't said he wanted him to be the chief constable.

"Junior sister, are you interested in the position of Chief Constable of the Jingye Division in Xingsha County?"

Lin Yi: "..."

If you don't kidnap me, you'll kidnap my wife?

As soon as Guan Buping opened his mouth, Lin Yi knew things were going to get bad.

Sure enough, seeing that Guan Buping was injured so badly, how could Qu Jing bear to refuse him?

She felt that her abilities were quite good enough, and that she should be more than qualified to serve as the chief constable of a prefecture.

As for the danger, she had considered it.

As Lin Yi said, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess might target the people around him to coerce him into submission, but she could also change her appearance!

Isn't it just about hiding one's identity?

Just don't become the chief constable under Qu Jing's identity!

Lin Yi: "..."

I knew it; whenever I wanted to move, running into Brother Guan would always change things.

Given the current situation, Star Sand City is indeed facing considerable difficulties, which is precisely why...

Qu Jing has already stayed in Xing Sha City, how could he possibly abandon his wife and go to Yan Cheng County?

Moreover, with Guan Buping and Bao Sanniang gone, the strength of the entire Xiangzhou Jingye Division has decreased significantly. As the core of Xingsha County, it was already easy for thieves to target it, and now it is in a period of leaderlessness. It would be strange if demons and monsters did not cause trouble.
