I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi finally realized what was happening, but it was too late for him to argue.

In fact, Lin Yi did not think he was dishonest. The reason he initially had strange thoughts about Xiao Se was because she was too beautiful.

Every smile and frown of hers makes one's heart race.

Lin Yi didn't think about anything indescribable. Even after witnessing the two "welfare" scenes, Lin Yi still had very few wicked thoughts towards Xiao Se.

But there was also a feeling that he couldn't quite explain, and he himself didn't know why.

Because it all started with physical appearance, Lin Yi felt that he was lustful at first sight.

After Hua Nianrou's analysis, I suddenly felt a bit more affection.

"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. Whether we like each other or not is not important. We each have unfinished missions, and now is not the time to talk about love."

Lin Yi forcibly changed the subject, and Hua Nianrou naturally obeyed. Although she made Lin Yi feel very embarrassed, she was actually quite sensible.

Offending people in moderation can bring two people closer, but constantly offending them will only alienate them.

After teasing Lin Yi to ease the awkward atmosphere, Hua Nianrou took the initiative to say goodbye, allowing Lin Yi to take care of Xiao Se alone in peace, thus giving Lin Yi some space to be alone.

Lin Yi didn't dwell on this matter. Wu Yun was still suffering, He Dong and Bai Lianxian were still training their apprentices, Jiang Linglong was searching for a way to break the curse, and Qu Jing was still unaware of the news.

In this situation, he felt guilty even when he was distracted, let alone take any action.

Whether he likes it or not, he won't consider it for now, since he doesn't plan to do anything anyway.

Of all evils, lust is the worst. Judge by actions, not intentions; by intentions, no one in the world is perfect.

As long as he doesn't do anything specific, it should be okay to just think about it, right?

Lin Yi comforted himself for a while, then sat down to rest and meditate next to Xiao Se, while also studying the new functions of the Demon-Slaying Manual.

After this tribulation, the Demon-Slaying Manual was updated with a new feature—simulated combat.

This means entering the illusion and engaging in actual combat with the demons that have already been recorded.

However, Lin Yi did not use this function immediately. Instead, he was more interested in the art of theft because this function cost money.

Depending on one's cultivation level and current state, the cultivation level required for simulated combat varies, and there are also full simulations and ultimate skill simulations.

The complete simulation means that the demons and monsters in the illusion will have all their power, and Lin Yi needs to give up one-tenth of the target's cultivation to activate the illusion.

If you only want to experience the target's ultimate skill, you only need to spend one percent of your cultivation to activate the illusion.

Of course, the cultivation points consumed by using this function are the amount before the discount, which is not particularly difficult for Lin Yi to obtain.

The problem is that after Lin Yi survived his tribulation, he didn't bother to check the new projects and just added all his points.

Currently, his available cultivation level is zero, so he can only watch the new features with envy.

Lin Yi turned to the page of the Demon-Slaying Manual, which contained the page about Yan Qingqiu, and was itching to try it out.

Lin Yi, immersed in his own inner world, was unaware that when he closed his eyes, Xiao Se opened them.

Xiao Se's feelings were complicated. She had just woken up when she heard Lin Yi talk about his feelings for her, and she was originally happy.

But soon, she thought of Wuyun, who had been captured by Yan Qingqiu, and she felt ashamed again.

Even though Wu Yun has been arrested, she's still happy that Lin Yi likes her. How can she face Wu Yun?

Therefore, Xiao Se kept her eyes closed and didn't wake up, so as not to overhear Lin Yi talking to someone else and break the unspoken understanding between the two.

She hasn't broken her own curse yet, and she can't let anyone around her suffer anymore.

She is not qualified to have a lover right now, and must hide her feelings for Lin Yi deeply, so that Lin Yi cannot know.

Afterwards, Xiao Se focused his attention on sensing his physical condition.

Her previous injuries were very serious, and she is recovering little by little. But at this rate, she will need to rest for at least seven days before she can fight again.

The biggest loss in this battle was that she lost her five powerful dragon scales.

With the dragon scales in hand, Xiao Se felt that the world was vast and he had no enemies to fear.

In retrospect, she was indeed narrow-minded.

The power of the dragon scales is indeed great, but the power she can unleash is very limited, and she has not yet developed the power of the dragon scales to its fullest potential.

Perhaps if the five dragon scales were combined, there would be a special change, but unfortunately, Yan Qingqiu took away this opportunity.

Xiao Se did not hate Yan Qingqiu for taking the dragon scale. In this kind of opportunity to achieve enlightenment, there was no room for sentimentality when they fought each other.

But why did she capture Dark Cloud? Dark Cloud was just a low-level cat, and it was seriously injured; it was uncertain whether it could survive.

Xiao Se gritted his teeth inwardly.

If anything were to happen to Yan Qingqiu because of Wuyun, she vowed to kill Yan Qingqiu, crush his bones and hide his fur!

This was the first time Xiao Se had felt such intense hatred for someone. Back when she was tricked by her father, she didn't actually feel much hatred.

Only towards Yan Qingqiu...

She hated Yan Qingqiu, and she also hated her own powerlessness.

But Xiao Se was not discouraged by the failure; all the pain in her heart was now suppressed.

She just wanted to recover quickly, become strong, and go find Yan Qingqiu to take back the Dark Cloud.

"Big brother..."

After adjusting his state, Xiao Se pretended to have just woken up and called out to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi woke up instantly, opened his eyes and said, "Xiao Se, you're awake. How are you feeling now?"

Lin Yi's face was full of concern, but Xiao Se's attitude was very indifferent.

"My injury isn't too serious. Taking some herbal medicine might help me heal faster. I have some medicinal herbs in my pouch. Could you please brew some for me, brother?"

Xiao Se found his cloud bag with great difficulty.

She didn't react much when she realized her clothes had been changed, thinking to herself that the girl who had spoken earlier must have helped her change them.

Lin Yi readily accepted the cloud bag, opened it, and found that there were indeed some spiritual herbs inside. However, after smelling them, Lin Yi realized that although they were top-grade herbs, they were far inferior to what he had eaten in the Crystal Palace.

After all, Jiang Linglong lived thousands of years ago, and the medicinal herbs she collected were indeed much better than those of today.

Xiao Se only drank this little bit of tonic, how long will it take for him to recover?

Thinking of the healing effect of his blood on Wu Yun, Lin Yi's heart stirred, and he agreed, saying, "Then you should rest well, I'll go and brew the medicine for you."

"Ah."

Xiao Se responded indifferently, and Lin Yi did not notice anything unusual.

He felt that Xiao Se's coldness must be due to a great blow he had suffered.

He was worried that Xiao Se would cry and make a fuss, become depressed and irritable after waking up, but she did none of that.

After waking up, she simply wanted to calmly take medicine to recover.

This shows that despite experiencing so much, Xiao Se still maintains a calm mind.

This is also a good thing.

So Lin Yi went to the kitchen and dumped all the medicinal herbs that exuded a faint spiritual energy into the clay pot.

He cooked the tonic Xiao Se wanted as usual, but in addition to the tonic, he could also prepare some other things for Xiao Se.

For example, his own blood.

After the medicine had been simmering for half an hour, Lin Yi felt it was almost ready and brought it over to Xiao Se.

"Xiao Se, it's time to take your medicine."

Lin Yi brought a large bowl of herbal medicine to Xiao Se's bedside. He wanted to help Xiao Se get up, but Xiao Se propped herself up and sat up. As she took the medicine, she said, "Why are you being so distant with me now, brother?"

"Uh……"

Lin Yi used to call her "Second Brother," but now that he knows she's a girl, he can't call her that anymore.

Xiao Se saw through Lin Yi's thoughts and said calmly, "No matter when or what happens, I will always be your brother. Please continue to call me as before!"

Lin Yi: "..."

He sensed something unusual in Xiao Se's words, a mixture of intimacy and distance.

Lin Yi couldn't figure out what Xiao Se was thinking, so he didn't say anything.

Xiao Se then took the medicine himself, only to find that the whole bowl was red, and upon closer inspection, there was a faint smell of blood.

This……

Xiao Se quickly realized that something had been added to it, and thinking of Lin Yi's methods of treating Wu Yun, she felt a surge of emotion.

I wonder if Lin Yi is in pain; it must be very painful!

But she quickly regained her senses.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to break with Lin Yi.

She seemed startled, and her hand trembled violently, causing her to spill the entire bowl of spiked soup onto the floor.

"Brother, what did you do to the medicine?!"

Xiao Se looked doubtful and afraid, an expression that instantly ignited Lin Yi's anger.

The person who is wronged is the most angry and the most aggrieved.

Lin Yi knew that moderate bloodletting wouldn't cause much damage to his body.

But his blood is also a very precious thing. If he didn't have good intentions, who would be willing to cut himself for no reason?

If Xiao Se had just asked, that would have been fine, but instead she seemed suspicious of him and even knocked over the medicine he had been guarding for half an hour.

How could Lin Yi not be angry?

In Xiao Se's heart, is he really so untrustworthy?

In his anger, he shouted back, "Do you think I would harm you?"

The silence was desolate, but at this moment, silence only added fuel to the fire, because it represented certainty.

Despite his extreme anger, Lin Yi calmed down a bit and suppressed his rage. He patiently explained, "My blood was added to it. I thought it might be beneficial for your recovery."

"I see. I'm sorry, brother, I misunderstood you."

Xiao Se apologized, but Lin Yi still felt uneasy.
