I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

pain.

But she still slowly walked over and took the arrow back.

Then, she gently lifted her veil, turned around and said, "Wuyun is in the Thousand-Layer Cave, go and fetch her!"

After saying that, Yan Qingqiu flew away.

Su Xian'er clearly saw tears sliding down Yan Qingqiu's cheeks, but from this angle, Lin Yi probably couldn't see them.

"This...this..."

Su Xian'er was somewhat confused.

She really couldn't understand what was going on with Yan Qingqiu.

Do you really like Lin Yi?

Do they have any connection?

We agreed not to bet on the same thing twice, so don't fall for the same guy as me!

Su Xian'er muttered to herself, and seeing that there was no more show to watch, she quickly returned to her original state.

Lin Yi then released the Demon-Slaying Sword, which immediately flew out. The Ruyi Pearl flew to Lin Yi's wound, and with a burst of green light, Lin Yi's wound healed instantly.

Actually, it wasn't necessary; Lin Yi recovered very quickly. Besides, he deliberately chose a good spot to make the incision, ensuring he wouldn't puncture any internal organs.

But the pain was real, and he was incredibly resilient, managing not to utter a sound.

He didn't lose face, but he didn't complain. If he didn't complain, then he was pretty cool. If he did complain, then he looked like a fool.

He stabbed himself voluntarily, but it had three purposes.

The first reason, as he himself said, was to pay off Yan Qingqiu's debt.

The second purpose, however, was a ploy to feign suffering in front of Yan Qingqiu, thereby lowering Yan Qingqiu's guard and making him believe that the matter was over, thus increasing the chances of rescuing Wuyun.

If Yan Qingqiu feels that he must kill the fox today and is prepared to fight to the death, or if he uses the dark cloud to manipulate him, that would be bad.

The third purpose was to satisfy Lin Yi's own resentment.

He wanted to know what Yan Qingqiu thought of him, so when he poked himself, he kept a close eye on the Demon-Slaying Manual to see how Yan Qingqiu's condition changed.

If she really only wanted to deceive him before, then no matter how grief-stricken she appeared on the surface, she would probably just be laughing at him for being a fool when she saw him injured.

If she truly cared, she certainly wouldn't have remained indifferent.

Sure enough, Lin Yi saw the answer he was looking for.

Status: Parting ways with someone, heartbroken.

If she is truly heartbroken, she certainly isn't as calm and composed as she appears on the surface.

Seeing this answer, Lin Yi felt a little guilty. After all, it wasn't very honorable to use a self-inflicted injury to deceive people.

But he was also somewhat pleased. Yan Qingqiu's words and actions might not have been genuinely intended to exploit him; perhaps they were sincere.

However, this joyful feeling did not last long.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that everything he had done proved one thing: he had been bewitched by this vixen.

He became extremely curious about Yan Qingqiu's secrets, what she wanted to do, and everything about her.

Curiosity is often the beginning of a relationship.

Lin Yi had always known this principle, so he had always been very restrained towards Yan Qingqiu, but now, he could no longer suppress his curiosity.

Consequently, he also realized that he had been seduced by this vixen.

"A sin!"

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, still remembering the important matter at hand.

His first task upon arriving in Qingqiu was not to cause trouble for Yan Qingqiu, but to rescue Wuyun.

For now, I can put aside my own feelings and Yan Qingqiu's secret; finding Wu Yun is the priority.

Yan Qingqiu said the dark clouds were in the Thousand-Layer Cave, but where is the Thousand-Layer Cave?

Lin Yi recalled the scene he had witnessed earlier, where Wu Yun had been thrown into a swarm of rats by Yan Qingqiu, and now he might be in danger.

Forget about feeling sentimental, they hurried off to find the Thousand-Layer Cave.

He didn't need any landmarks; he simply used his long-range tracking technique to detect the scent of the dark clouds and quickly headed towards them.

Upon seeing the Thousand-Layer Cave, Lin Yi rushed straight inside.

The restrictions at the entrance were meaningless to him.

Before rushing into the Thousand-Layer Cave, Lin Yi imagined many miserable scenes of the dark clouds in his mind, being chased for their lives by rats, or being bitten all over their bodies.

However, after rushing in, Lin Yi only heard a slightly smug voice.

"Who else? Come on, bite me! You're all weaklings!"

A black cat was seen spouting nonsense while crushing mice on the ground with each paw.

The ground was littered with the corpses of rats, while the dark cloud exuded a sinister black aura, like a terrifying demon king.

Lin Yi looked again and saw that Wu Yun's cultivation had reached seven hundred years.

Not long ago, she was just a little kitten who couldn't even speak, but now she can transform into human form.

Of course, the cloud didn't transform into human form; she still felt that the cat form was more suitable for combat.

"Hmph, you don't even have a single one who can fight, yet you dare to chase me?"

The kitten was smug, and Lin Yi didn't know what expression to make when facing it, so he stood there frozen.

Wu Yun noticed the arrival of an outsider and turned to see Lin Yi.

She meowed and pounced on Lin Yi, burrowing into his arms and crying as she sobbed and complained.

"That vixen is bullying me too much! One minute she's throwing me into a vat of boiling oil, the next she's making me climb a mountain of knives, then she's freezing me, then she's letting mice bite me! It's too much!"

Lin Yi: "..."

If I hadn't seen how Yan Qingqiu treated you every day, I would have really been fooled by you, you cat.

Although Yan Qingqiu did indeed do what Wu Yun said, Wu Yun embellished the story too much.

When dark clouds fall into a pot, there's no oil in the pot.

"Anyway, it's good that you've recovered now."

Lin Yi patted the cat's head, but couldn't help wondering if Yan Qingqiu had done so much to help Wu Yun heal.

Lin Yi didn't understand the trick of boiling it in a pot and then freezing it in water.

He subconsciously tried to think of Yan Qingqiu in a positive light, feeling that it might just be a coincidence.

Maybe the dark cloud recovered itself after drinking so much of his blood?

"You'd better not hold a grudge. She returned you to me safe and sound, so let's leave it at that."

Come with me, let's go find your master.

"All right!"

Seeing that her attempt to stir up trouble had failed, Wu Yun stopped. In her opinion, Lin Yi must have taught Yan Qingqiu a lesson by coming here, and might even have killed that vixen!

That should be the end of the story, right?

Since that's the case, she'll forgive Yan Qingqiu for now; cats don't hold grudges.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi went to find Wu Yun, while Su Xian'er found Yan Qingqiu.

"You haven't actually fallen in love with that man, have you?"

Yan Qingqiu had no more tears left. She looked at Su Xian'er calmly and said, "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

"If that's the case, then give up. I want this man."

Yan Qingqiu's eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

She could accept Lin Yi bullying her, but did Su Xian'er want to die?

Seeing Yan Qingqiu's murderous aura, Su Xian'er didn't care at all and said confidently, "It seems you really have fallen in love with that man. I thought a cold and ruthless vixen like you could never fall in love with a man!"

"Do you really want to die?"

Yan Qingqiu's fierce appearance did not frighten Su Xian'er.

"You talk as if you can actually fight. Anyone can talk tough!"

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that they were from the same clan, she would have strangled that fox spirit to death.

Why did you fall for him?

"It must be fate!"

Su Xian'er said casually, "I was in a bit of danger, and he appeared like a hero to save me from my predicament."

I lent him the Ruyi Pearl temporarily, but who knew I couldn't get it back? Of course, I have to keep it from him, otherwise what will happen to the Tushan lineage?

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

Su Xian'er never hid herself from her, but this shameless frankness was truly infuriating.

Seeing Yan Qingqiu's sullen face, Su Xian'er became even happier.

Her greatest pleasure was seeing Yan Qingqiu get angry. Most of the time, Yan Qingqiu seemed wiser than her; she rarely got angry, and even when she was, it was hard to tell from her face.

The two vixens used to enjoy provoking Yan Qingqiu, but they rarely succeeded. Instead, she was the one who was tricked by Yan Qingqiu and became furious.

Now that Yan Qingqiu has broken through her defenses, how could she not kick him while he's down?

This little vixen is so concerned about Lin Yi, there must be a secret behind it. She didn't want to let it go, so she continued to tease him, "Actually, it's not entirely for the pearl, I just want to let things take their course."

“Look, the pearl has a spirit, she must be helping me choose a good man, right?”

Plus, I quite like Lin Yi, so if they really become a couple in the future, it would be a beautiful story.

I'll invite you to Tushan for a visit and a drink at our wedding.

Yan Qingqiu: "..."
