I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Chapter 297 The Method of Turning a Ghost into a Human

Lin Yi was truly betrayed by Jiang Linglong this time, and now he desperately hopes that someone can come to his rescue.

If someone interrupts, he can slip away.

However, Jiang Linglong is very methodical in her work.

She did many things carelessly, such as casually going out to kill two demon kings and coming back as if it were just eating and drinking, without giving it much thought.

But she had been planning this all night.

No one can interrupt her.

Outside, Yu Xue is there to guard the house. Today, without her permission, anyone who enters this house will be shown what cruelty truly means.

Poor Yu Xue was happily playing on the ice and skating in the pond last night when a nemesis came knocking on her door.

When Jiang Linglong gets fierce, even Yu Xue is afraid of her, and has no choice but to listen to her.

But Yu Xue had already made up her mind.

Once this is over, she's definitely going to complain to Lin Yi!

Everyone in the hall was watching Lin Yi, waiting for him to make a choice. Lin Yi's gaze drifted between He Dong, Qu Jing, and Jiang Linglong, and he felt completely numb.

If you choose one, the other two will inevitably be heartbroken.

Even if Jiang Linglong said she could be a concubine even if she didn't become the main wife, how sad would she be if she wasn't chosen?

Qu Jing and He Dong were the same; even though they knew in their hearts that the chances of them being chosen were slim, they were still heartbroken and disappointed when the results came out.

There is no way to have it all in this world, let alone a way to have it all.

Lin Yi struggled with his eyes closed for a long time before finally opening them and saying, "I have made my choice."

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

Even Jiang Linglong, who felt she had a significant advantage, is now getting nervous.

She began to feel anxious and uncertain. What if Lin Yi really didn't choose her? She would definitely be heartbroken. She didn't want to leave Lin Yi, but she also didn't want to be subservient to someone else. She would definitely be tormented by the pain.

But Jiang Linglong doesn't regret what she did today, because having no answer is itself a kind of torment.

Who do you choose?

"you."

Upon hearing this word, Jiang Linglong finally relaxed, and she couldn't hold back her smile any longer. But just as her lips curled up, she heard Lin Yi continue, "And her, and her."

Lin Yi first pointed at He Dong, and then at Qu Jing.

Great, not a single one was missed.

Thousand Illusionary Demon Princess: ???

Qu Jing panicked when Lin Yi pointed at her like that.

That traitor!

Their relationship hasn't even broken down yet, so how dare he point fingers!

Besides, she hasn't agreed to be with Lin Yi yet!

Feeling guilty, Qu Jing glanced behind her, pretending not to know that Lin Yi was referring to her.

He Dong was stunned. She wasn't surprised that Lin Yi could answer multiple questions, but she was surprised that Lin Yi had even included his master.

This guy!

It seems that Lin Yi did a lot of other things behind her back. How amazing!

Jiang Linglong's smile froze slightly as she asked, "You want to marry three?"

That night, she clearly said she wanted all three of them, worried that it would hurt all three of them. Otherwise, Jiang Linglong would not have taken the step back and said she was willing to be a concubine.

That statement was merely out of concern that if she failed to be selected, she wouldn't be able to be with Lin Yi. Otherwise, given her noble status, why would she be willing to say something like "subordinate to someone else"?

To everyone's surprise, even after choosing her, Lin Yi still brought He Dong and Qu Jing along.

Wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

At this point, Lin Yi knew there was no way to retreat; he had no choice but to take a gamble.

Take it all, or have nothing.

"Linglong, I don't want to make a choice, so I want them all."

Lin Yi's statement was very bold. Jiang Linglong's smile was stiff, but she still said, "I don't object to you taking them as concubines. You can have them too."

“This is different. I don’t want you to insist on distinguishing between superior and inferior.”

Do you think I just want to establish a hierarchy?

Jiang Linglong glanced at He Dong, then at Qu Jing, and said coldly, "Or do you think that only I can humble myself and submit, but others can't?"

This was the first time Jiang Linglong had ever gotten angry with Lin Yi after all this time together.

Lin Yi also knew that Jiang Linglong had previously said she was willing to be a concubine, but now that Lin Yi didn't want anyone else to be a concubine, Jiang Linglong couldn't save face.

If she hadn't said that back then, things wouldn't be like this now.

But she said that because Lin Yi had previously said that he only wanted one.

Lin Yi intended to have it all, but Jiang Linglong suddenly launched an attack today, and he hadn't laid the groundwork for wanting it all, which led to the current situation.

Although Qu Jing already knew about the ambiguous relationship between Lin Yi, He Dong, and Jiang Linglong, she tacitly acknowledged it but did not accept it.

Every time Lin Yi tried to have a proper conversation with her in bed, she would rather hold her breath than act like before.

It's clear that Qu Jing wasn't ready to share a husband with another woman.

As for He Dong...

She's a jealous woman, and she won't accept other women either.

Only Jiang Linglong was somewhat magnanimous enough to allow Lin Yi to have other women, but she was clearly unwilling to be second to anyone.

Lin Yi wanted all three of them, but he hadn't done any preparation beforehand, like going through something without any foreplay...

In short, the effect will definitely not be good.

Sure enough, after Jiang Linglong got angry, Qu Jing also started making trouble.

"Lin Yi, things have come to this point, so let's speak frankly. Our relationship was an accident, unlike yours and Miss Jiang's mutual affection."

Just let bygones be bygones and don't dwell on the past.

"I wish you a long and lasting relationship. Jingye Division has many matters awaiting me, so I must take my leave now."

Qu Jing was the most decisive; she was ready to leave at a moment's notice.

Lin Yi could stop her, but while he could physically stop her, he couldn't stop her heart. He could only let her go.

This was her way of fulfilling Lin Yi's wishes.

More than the title of wife, she cared about Lin Yi's feelings for her, but Lin Yi liked her, but it wasn't just about liking her.

Just as she loves her demon-slaying skills, she also loves legendary ancient swords. If she were given some good swords, she would want them all.

But for each sword, she is its only master.

Therefore, Qu Jing did not misunderstand Lin Yi, nor did she distrust him; it was simply that she pitied those swords that could not become her destiny, just as she herself did.

She didn't want to compete with Jiang Linglong. Since Lin Yi didn't choose her as his only choice, she would respect Jiang Linglong's decision.

At least two people are happy.

As for He Dong, he's just a ghost, so he doesn't have much of an impact.

With just one look, Lin Yi understood Qu Jing.

Because I understood, I didn't stop her.

If Qu Jing didn't like him, he would have many ways to make her like him, but Qu Jing had already fallen in love with him, so what could he do?

Of course I'll go find her later.

The current outcome is not what Jiang Linglong wanted. Her goal was to become the empress and help Lin Yi manage the rear, while Qu Jing and He Dong would become concubines. As the first wife, she would certainly not mistreat them.

Someone with ulterior motives like Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess would have to undergo her careful vetting if they wanted to enter the inner quarters.

Unexpectedly, this actually drove Qu Jing away.

Seeing Lin Yi looking lost and dejected over Qu Jing's departure, Jiang Linglong also felt a pang of sadness.

Perhaps she shouldn't have tried to become the principal wife.

At first, she didn't intend to do that; she just wanted to get closer to Lin Yi, and that was enough.

But people's hearts are never satisfied. After Lin Yi expressed his feelings for her, she couldn't help but want more.

From simply wanting Lin Yi to like her, to demanding a formal title from him, her request wasn't unreasonable, but it certainly wasn't what she initially envisioned.

If she had stayed quietly in the Crystal Palace as before, Lin Yi would still have visited her frequently. At that time, her importance in Lin Yi's heart might not have been any less than it is now.

Now that she has driven away one of Lin Yi's women, Lin Yi will probably resent her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out this way. Don't worry, I'll help you persuade her to come back."

Jiang Linglong knew she had caused bad consequences, and she didn't intend to shirk responsibility. Since she was the one who caused this, she naturally had to make amends.

Even if I suffer some injustice, it doesn't matter anymore.

Seeing her determined gaze, Lin Yi knew she was putting on a brave face, without a trace of grievance.

Women, what woman would genuinely want to help her husband appease another woman? Even if she truly wanted to do so, she would definitely feel extremely wronged inside.

Lin Yi certainly wouldn't do something so foolish as to send Jiang Linglong. It would be beneath her, and she might not even be able to handle things well. She might be good at palace intrigue, but she might not be so good at charming girls.

Of course, one has to handle this personally.

Lin Yi held Jiang Linglong's hand and comforted her, "I will handle these things. Don't worry about it, and there's no need to apologize. In fact, I should thank you."

Without you, I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind.

"But you've suffered because of me. You're such a perfect girl, as noble and pure as the bright moon, yet you're willing to go to such lengths for me. I'm the one who should have let you down."
