I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Even the refined and easygoing You Tong couldn't help but grumble and run away.

Last time they caused trouble, they ran into the Ghost King; this time, they've encountered something even more terrifying than the Ghost King.

What incredible luck!

Chapter 40 Thoughtful food will be delivered to your door.

A suffocating aura emanated from underwater, scaring You Tong into running away on the spot.

From the moment he appeared, posing for a toast, to the moment he ran away, it only took thirty seconds.

This time, he also gave up the possibility of bribery. What kind of bribe could a peerless expert of his rank offer? To even open his mouth would be tantamount to insulting the other party. Judging from the current situation, the other party should be a little angry, but he is only showing his aura. Maybe he still has a chance to run away.

Whether or not we can escape, we should at least give it a try.

Guan Buping's scalp tingled. He could still put up a fight against You Tong and buy some time for Lin Yi and Wang Jinxuan.

However, this unknown being, which has not yet shown itself, can make them feel suffocated just by its aura. Even in his prime, he would not have had the chance to draw his sword if he encountered such a powerful being.

"This junior meant no offense, please forgive us, senior. We will leave now."

Guan Buping didn't know if what he said would make any difference, but anyway, he would do his best to be polite first and deal with the rest later.

Just slip away.

Lin Yi, however, remained completely calm.

He probably knew who was emanating such terrifying pressure.

It's quite a coincidence that this place is very close to the Crystal Palace.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain; besides Jiang Linglong, there should be no one else.

Jiang Linglong saw that he was in trouble, so she secretly helped him and scared You Tong away.

I have to say, this zombie king is quite considerate.

Although he knew she was only after his body, Lin Yi was still a little touched.

"Oh no, could I be developing Stockholm syndrome?"

Lin Yi was unaware that Jiang Linglong was currently frantically gnawing on the coffin lid.

She went in and out of the coffin several times, and now she's on the verge of losing control.

The entire Crystal Palace was a magical artifact used to help her suppress herself, and the Crystal Coffin was the core of that suppression.

The first time, she only climbed out of the coffin, then immediately climbed back in.

But slowly, as the scent of blood drew closer, she even ventured out of the Dragon King's Palace. In the most dangerous moment, she even reached the entrance of the Crystal Palace.

"No, once we go out, we won't be able to come back."

If one cannot suppress desires even in the Crystal Palace, it will certainly be even more difficult outside.

However, at that moment, that familiar fragrance seemed to come to my side.

Jiang Linglong's eyes turned completely red, but her will had not yet collapsed, and she was still fiercely fighting against her own desires.

But without realizing it, she found herself at the entrance of the Crystal Palace once again.

As she struggled with herself, a powerful aura swept in all directions, freezing passing fish into ice on the spot, and the powerful pressure also spread to the water.

"I will endure!"

"I want……"

Jiang Linglong's eyes constantly shifted between determination, confusion, and ferocity; the door to the Crystal Palace was her final line of defense.

She knew that once she stepped out of the Crystal Palace, it would mean a complete loss of control.

The door wasn't closed; there was only a thin membrane formed by an array, blocking out the water from the outside. But this very membrane became the strongest barrier protecting the softest part of her heart.

"I really want to take a drag..."

Jiang Linglong recalled the delicious taste of Lin Yi's blood. Before, she had forced herself not to think about it, but now, just thinking about it made her mouth water, and her desire actually decreased a little...

On the shore, Lin Yi and his two companions ran wildly on horseback, but after running for a while, they found that no one was chasing them, so Guan Buping felt relieved.

It seems they had simply stumbled into the territory of a powerful figure, who had no intention of killing them but merely released his aura to drive them away.

"They survived."

Guan Buping was still shaken as he looked at the Xiangjiang River from afar, only now beginning to wonder what kind of monster was lurking beneath it.

"That aura was malevolent and bloodthirsty; it was probably not a benevolent force. The fact that it didn't attack us suggests that it was injured or currently under a seal."

Guan Buping gave a simple analysis, and what he said made a lot of sense, but he was completely wrong.

Jiang Linglong is indeed a bloodthirsty and malevolent zombie king, a terrifying being of five thousand years old. However, she is not actually evil. Curses and bloodlust are not what she desires. In order not to harm others, she has locked herself in the Crystal Palace for thousands of years, and she has no intention of leaving. This is equivalent to sentencing herself to life imprisonment.

Although this woman was sucking his blood, threatening him, and lusting after his body, Lin Yi still thought Jiang Linglong was a good person.

Besides, she had just helped him.

However, even though he was now safe, Jiang Linglong had not yet concealed her aura, and the surface of the Xiangjiang River had begun to frost over.

Could this girl be having an attack?

With this in mind, Lin Yi made his decision. He had originally planned to go and see Jiang Linglong, but now that the situation seemed to have changed, he needed to go even more.

If Jiang Linglong is normal, he won't lose anything by making the trip. If Jiang Linglong is not normal, he can still feed her a mouthful of blood before she loses control.

However, given Guan Buping's personality, no matter what you say, he won't let you leave the team without permission, which is a difficult situation.

Thinking of the true controller behind those zombies, Lin Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pointed in a direction, and shouted loudly, "Who goes there!"

Having said that, he strode into the darkness.

The acting was quite convincing, but to everyone's surprise, a person actually jumped out of the darkness.

"Damn it, I hid so well, how could I have been found out!"

The old man controlling the corpse was very puzzled. From beginning to end, he had not revealed a trace of his presence, nor had he moved at all, just like a corpse buried in the ground. How could Lin Yi have found him?

This person's perception is far too terrifying.

At that moment, he dared not hide any longer and had no choice but to run away into the distance.

He had no other choice but to run towards the river, hoping to use the intimidation of the unknown big shot in the river to deter Lin Yi and Guan Buping from pursuing him.

This was exactly what Lin Yi wanted. Without stopping, he chased after the old man, forcing him to jump into the water and swim towards the other side of the river.

Like a reckless fool, Lin Yi jumped into the water and never resurfaced.

"Lin Yi!"

Guan Buping shouted, and without bothering to chase the suspicious old man, he dived underwater to search for Lin Yi's whereabouts.

The deeper he went, the colder the water became. He hadn't been submerged for long when he felt as if the internal energy in his meridians was frozen, and his hands were almost numb. Helpless, he had to surface and return to the shore.

Looking at the vast Xiang River, I couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

At this moment, Lin Yi, like a swimming fish, skillfully searched for the location of the Crystal Palace.

It didn't take long for him to see the Crystal Palace and Jiang Linglong sitting at the entrance.

At this moment, Jiang Linglong's eyes had turned completely red. When she saw Lin Yi, she thought it was a hallucination. She had had such fantasies before, but this time the fragrance felt more real.

"I want……"

Jiang Linglong uttered those two words with a dreamy look in her eyes, and Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. This female zombie is too good at flirting!

"Here you go, all of it is yours."

Seeing that she was already delirious, Lin Yi simply offered his own blood.

As the two touched, Jiang Linglong's will finally took over, and she clearly felt Lin Yi rub his skin against her teeth, causing blood to flow out. She subconsciously began to suck on it.

Wait, I can refuse to drink the blood from the tip of my tongue when I'm sober!

Chapter 41 Jiang Linglong Wants to Leave the Palace

Jiang Linglong was surprised that Lin Yi would suddenly appear here and even offer his blood.

However, this method made her extremely embarrassed. Last time, she had lost control and did it that way, but this time she was fully conscious.

But she couldn't resist the temptation of blood. She took a big gulp before gently pushing Lin Yi away. The dazed look in her eyes had disappeared, and she regained her composure, asking, "Why are you here?"

"I sensed something was wrong with you, so I came to check on you. Luckily, I arrived in time."

"I'm sorry, I underestimated this curse."

Jiang Linglong said with a guilty look, "Actually, even if I hadn't caught a whiff of Lin Yi's scent tonight, I probably could have held on for two more days at most."

If it weren't for her craving for blood causing her to be unable to sleep, which automatically amplified her senses, she wouldn't have been able to smell Lin Yi's fragrance.

"Perhaps, we'll need to do it every five days from now on..."

The agreed-upon two weeks has now been reduced to five days, and Jiang Linglong is too embarrassed to bring it up again.

Lin Yi showed no sign of distress. He said easily, "It's okay. Losing a little blood won't have much of an impact. I'm still full of energy. You don't need to force yourself like this. Don't wait until you're close to losing control before coming to me. Enduring this for so long must have been very painful!"

"..."

Jiang Linglong could sense that Lin Yi was not being insincere.

She thought that he would be resentful because she was going to suck his blood and increase the frequency of her actions, but to her surprise, he was not angry at all and even cared about whether she was in pain.

This was an experience she had never had before. After she was cursed, everyone ordered her to endure, but no one ever cared about how she felt while she was enduring.

The feeling was like hunger, an intense urge to eat, accompanied by a pain like being pricked by thousands of needles, and an itch like ants crawling all over the body...

"Can I really come to you anytime?"

"Of course, but I may be leaving Xingsha County in a few days. Don't worry, I will try to find a place to stay nearby. I will come to find you again once I have settled down."

"Ah."

"By the way, I still have a mission to complete and can't stay here for too long. You can come find me whenever you want to go out for a walk. You don't have to come only when you're feeding blood. We can chat. You must be very bored staying in the Crystal Palace all year round!"

"Ah."

Jiang Linglong found it difficult to maintain a calm mood, and she often felt inexplicably happy.
