I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Jiang Linglong, with Lin Yi holding her hand, listened to his words, and her expression suddenly became somewhat strained.

If Lin Yi were to scold or blame her, she would feel it was no big deal. But it was precisely these considerate and caring words that touched the softest part of her heart, making her vulnerable as well.

She then remembered that Lin Yi had always been like this; he would care whether she was in pain or suffering when his bloodlust was not satisfied, and he would worry about whether she was in danger when she was trapped.

Now, I also care whether she will be wronged.

"Just one word from you and I won't feel wronged anymore."

At this moment, Jiang Linglong realized that her previous pursuit of a legitimate wife was all too superficial.

Those are all unimportant things. As long as Lin Yi cares about her and cherishes her, that's enough. What does it matter whether she is his legal wife or not?

She threw herself into Lin Yi's arms and made her decision.

If I'm going to be a concubine, I'll be a concubine. I'll go talk to Qu Jing later and give her the position of the principal wife. That should bring her back!

He Dong was so angry that his cheeks puffed up when he saw Lin Yi and Jiang Linglong embracing.

Well done! One ran away, and Lin Yi was worried about her; the other is here making a statement, and Lin Yi is in a hurry to appease her. Doesn't anyone consider her feelings?

Or has her presence diminished so much without her even realizing it?

"Because you are not human and do not have a physical body, no one will consider making you the first wife. Your strength is not enough, and you cannot convince others. If you want others to pay attention to you, you can't just rely on their pity. You have to rely on yourself."

A voice suddenly rang in He Dong's heart, startling her.

"I am Lin Ling. If you truly wish to possess Lin Yi, then come back to the Hundred Ghosts Sect with me!"

He Dong was immediately shocked. Qianhuan Guiji actually had such strength. She could transmit her voice to Jiang Linglong and Lin Yi in front of them without being detected.

But she didn't have that ability, so she could only remain silent.

As for what the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess said, she certainly wouldn't listen.

It's obvious that Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess wants to kidnap her and take her back to Hundred Ghosts Gate. Who knows if she'll ever be able to get out again!

Whether following Lin Yi would bring her into the world is unknown, but going with Qianhuan Guiji is definitely out of the question.

Seemingly knowing what He Dong was thinking, Qianhuan Guiji continued, "I know you don't believe me, but the Hundred Ghosts Sect definitely has what you want."

Hmph, I don't believe it!

Do you think I'm that easy to fool?

He Dong thought to herself with a touch of pride that she would never fall for such a trick.

It's nothing more than promising her benefits and making empty promises, but all the advantages come at a price. Following Qianhuan Guiji will most likely lead to being scammed.

She'd seen this kind of trick many times before.

Although staying was also very sad, seeing Lin Yi and Jiang Linglong hugging, she turned around angrily, but dared not go too far, lest she be captured by the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess again after leaving their protection.

"The Hundred Ghosts Sect has a method to transform from a ghost into a human."

Qianhuan Guiji's words immediately shook He Dong to his core.

The death of a person and their transformation into a ghost is irreversible, but the Hundred Ghosts Sect actually has a method for ghosts to become human again.

He Dong subconsciously felt that Qianhuan Guiji was lying, but upon closer inspection, such an outrageous statement didn't seem like a lie at all.

For a moment, He Dong was also unsure, mainly because Qianhuan Guiji's personal credibility was extremely low, making it difficult for people to believe her.

"Ha, whether it's true or false, what use is it to me?"

He Dong chuckled to himself, still feeling more at ease being a ghost.

At least, when men don't want her, she can say it's not her fault, but because of her ghost identity.

"Dong'er, come here."

While He Dong was secretly fuming, Lin Yi suddenly called her name.

He Dong was puzzled. Lin Yi was holding Jiang Linglong, so why was he calling her again?

"doing what?"

"You'll see when you get here."

"Hmph, so mysterious."

He Dong looked dissatisfied, but still walked towards Lin Yi. As soon as he got to Lin Yi's side, Lin Yi pulled him into his arms.

"Don't keep it to yourself. In my heart, you are someone I absolutely cannot lose."

He Dong: "..."

That scoundrel!

He Dong's resentment was dispelled by those words. She angrily pinched Lin Yi's waist hard, but she couldn't bear to leave.

"Feeling happy with two women on your left and right?"

She spoke sarcastically, but Lin Yi wasn't annoyed and laughed, "It's you guys who are happy."

"Hmph, you're the best at lying!"

Even a ghost like her couldn't resist Lin Yi's sweet words, so who wouldn't be deceived by him?

"I'm not lying to you this time. Think it over carefully if you really want to be with him like a human being, living happily ever after."

He Dong: "..."

The voice of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess rang out again, and this time, He Dong was truly at a loss...

Chapter 298 No Ghost Emperor in the Mortal World

In the backyard, Xiao Se stood alone, embracing the dark clouds and gazing at the sky.

"Guess who the eldest brother will choose in the end?"

Although she couldn't bear to watch Lin Yi make a choice on the spot, after going outside for some fresh air, she became very curious about the matter again.

"If it were me, I would definitely choose Miss Jiang, so I wouldn't have to struggle anymore."

The cloud's answer perfectly reflects its personality: it would rather lie down than stand, truly deserving the title of a lazy cat.

"I think he might choose He Dong."

Lin Yi is a man of deep affection and loyalty, so he probably wouldn't abandon He Dong. Besides, Jiang Linglong is such a strong-willed person; if she were to become the head wife in the household, Lin Yi would probably lose his authority as a husband.

Since the woman is stronger than the man, and Lin Yi is a strong-willed person, the probability of him choosing He Dong is naturally higher.

"Alright, let's stop discussing who to choose. Anyway, it's impossible to choose you."

Wu Yun yawned and spoke the truth very naturally. This sentence instantly broke Xiao Se's defenses, and his heart turned cold.

"Yeah, why am I guessing here again..."

The dark cloud looked up in surprise; it seemed the problem was rather serious.

In the past, when she angered Xiao Se, he would beat her severely. Although it was very rough, she actually quite liked it.

This time, Xiao Se didn't make a move; it seems she was truly heartbroken.

Wuyun had no experience in comforting people, so she climbed onto Xiaose's lap and rubbed her hand against hers.

"Your Highness, don't be sad. Lin Yi didn't choose you only because he thought you were a man. If he knew the truth, he would definitely be captivated by you."

"At that time, no matter who he chooses now, he'll definitely dump them and come back to pursue you."

To be honest, although the kitten didn't have much experience, she was really good at it. Her words immediately struck a chord with Xiao Se.

Although she immediately denied it, saying, "He's not that kind of person."

This also refutes the claim that Lin Yi would abandon his original wife to pursue her, but she did not deny Wu Yun's description of her charm.

When Lin Yi first saw her wearing a dress, his eyes widened in amazement.

It was at this time that Xiao Se began to feel proud of his appearance.

"Young Master, don't worry. We are all cultivators with long lifespans, so there's no need to care about temporary gains or losses. If he chooses He Dong, He Dong will only have a few decades left to live. By then, you will still be in your prime, and he will still be yours."

The dark clouds are now racking their brains to comfort Xiaose, saying that we cultivators don't need to rush things. What we can't get now, we may get in the future.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se's expression changed drastically.

"Why did she only have a few decades to live?"

Although she didn't get along with He Dong, they had gone through thick and thin together. She could fight with He Dong all she wanted, but she never expected He Dong to die for no reason.

"Didn't you notice?"

Wu Yun was somewhat puzzled, but then suddenly realized, "That's right. You're not very proficient in mastering supernatural powers yet, so it's normal that you didn't sense He Dong's cultivation level. Her cultivation level should be over 1,900 years."

"How could this be!"

Xiao Se hadn't forgotten that when he fought He Dong, He Dong's strength was only that of a Ghost King who had just undergone tribulation.

How long has it been? How did he suddenly gain over four hundred years of cultivation?

"Nothing is impossible. Ghosts cultivate in a unique way. When their inner pain and anger reach a certain level, their cultivation will increase rapidly. The more pain they experience, the stronger they become."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se fell silent.

She never imagined that He Dong would be in so much pain during this time.

She was simply taken hostage by the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess for a period of time. What exactly did she go through to gain such a rapid increase in her cultivation over the years?

Thinking that He Dong might have suffered inhuman torture at the hands of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, Xiao Se couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

As expected of a member of the Demonic Sect, Qianhuan Guiji appears weak, but she is surprisingly ruthless, actually pushing He Dong to this extent!

Thinking that Lin Yi might not know these things yet, Xiao Se felt a little anxious.

She quickly asked, "Why do you say He Dong only has a few decades to live?"

"Ghosts undergo a tribulation every five hundred years, and the fourth tribulation will occur every two thousand years. Ghosts are no longer tolerated by the human world, and at that time, it will no longer be a tribulation, but a divine punishment."

Under divine retribution, ghosts have little chance of survival. If they can survive the fourth heavenly tribulation, the Ghost King will become the Ghost Emperor, invincible in the mortal realm. Therefore, whenever a Ghost Emperor is born, the underworld will inevitably send judges to the mortal world; this is why there are no ghosts over two thousand years old in the mortal realm.

Hearing this, Xiao Se was deeply shocked.

I didn't expect that despite being a bit of a vegetable, Wuyuncai (a type of wild vegetable) knew quite a lot.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Wu Yun. It is a memory inherited in our bloodline, not because Wu Yun is learned or talented.
