I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The sound was so loud that all the soldiers could hear it.

Those who were originally in despair and confusion looked towards Xiao Se upon seeing this change.

They were curious as to why this person had saved them.

Several generals in the army recognized Xiao Se's appearance. Xiao Se was the heir apparent who had been raised in public, but his whereabouts were later unknown.

In an instant, these generals found a pillar of support.

They were hesitant before because they didn't know where to go. Supporting Xiao Jin to the throne was definitely not an option. He was just a pretty face with no substance, effeminate and unfit to be the emperor.

But Xiao Se was different; she was dignified and exuded nobility in every gesture.

Moreover, his ability to hold the fox demon hostage and confront Lin Yi demonstrates his courage and valor.

They began to quietly explain Xiao Se's identity to those around them, which shocked even more people.

This is actually the heir apparent who has been missing for more than half a year?

Their appearance at such a critical moment must be a gift from heaven.

They still hold military power, and as long as they follow Xiao Se, inheriting the throne will be perfectly legitimate.

Even for this reason alone, they would be willing to serve him, not to mention that Xiao Se had saved their lives.

With Lin Yi's cooperation, Xiao Se certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Only by becoming emperor will she have a chance to break the curse.

He thought he would have to wait another seven or eight years, but who knew that the opportunity to become emperor would come so suddenly...

Chapter 431 Don't Touch the Fox's Tail

Even without communicating with Xiao Se, Lin Yi knew how to play this role well.

He just felt something was strange; the way Xiao Se spoke to her earlier didn't seem like he was acting.

Or perhaps she was just really into her performance!

Lin Yi didn't think too much about it and just cooperated, saying, "I promise you, as long as you let her go."

Su Xian'er was immediately filled with gratitude. Lin Yi was a good person; even though she was no longer of any use to him, he didn't abandon her.

But this Xiao Se is truly heartless. We agreed to be teammates back then, and today she turned around and sacrificed her teammate. You can forget about being friends with her again!

"But that's not enough to save her life."

Xiao Se still had Su Xian'er under his control, so Lin Yi had no choice but to continue, "What else do you want?"

"I want you to promise that within ten years you will not be an enemy of the imperial court, nor will you use your power to fight against the imperial court."

"That's fine too."

Lin Yi was not a staunch rebel. He had no interest in becoming emperor, and as long as the court did not provoke him or do anything he could not stand, he would not interfere too much.

"In that case, I will return it to you!"

After saying that, Xiao Se kicked Su Xian'er in the butt, making her cry out in pain and stumble forward. Lin Yi quickly caught her, but Su Xian'er turned around angrily and howled.

"Let me go, I'll kill her! How dare she kick me!"

"Calm down, calm down."

Lin Yi could tell that the kick just now was real, and it was somewhat driven by personal grudges against the vixen.

Fortunately, Su Xian'er had a lot of flesh on her buttocks, which cushioned the impact slightly.

Xiao Se completely ignored the menacing Su Xian'er, waved to Wu Yun, and then turned and walked towards the disheveled generals.

Wuyun glanced at Lin Yi, somewhat reluctant to part with him, but only nuzzled Lin Yi's cheek with its fluffy little head before hopping off to chase after Xiao Se.

Although the cat tree was useful, Xiao Se was still more important to her.

"dark clouds!"

"how?"

Wu Yun glanced back at Lin Yi, who then tossed the little golden figure to her, saying, "Take this to your master. We're leaving now."

Lin Yi thought that if he stayed here, it wouldn't be good for Xiao Se to gather Xiao Zhao's remaining troops, so he should leave first and leave this place to Xiao Se to handle.

The little cloud came running over excitedly, snatched the little golden figure in its mouth, and rubbed against Lin Yi's hand as a way of comforting him.

After all, Xiao Se's attitude just now wasn't exactly good, so Wu Yun considered it an apology to Xiao Se.

Lin Yi smiled, picked up the still-unyielding Su Xian'er, and went up into the sky.

Su Xian'er knew she couldn't deal with Xiao Se today, and she couldn't change back in a short time. Since Lin Yi had already seen her in this embarrassing state, she decided to just give up.

"Are you that easy to bully? Xiao Se treated you like that just now, aren't you angry?"

Su Xian'er started stirring things up.

If she's having a hard time, Xiao Se shouldn't expect to have one either.

Lin Yi thought her first priority would be to return to Jindan, but unexpectedly she showed concern for Xiao Se first.

It seems that this fox is not as magnanimous as it appears.

Seeing her so angry, Lin Yi wanted to soothe her, but it wouldn't be appropriate to get physical. So he calmly reassured her, "She was just putting on an act, so I don't need to be angry."

"Hmph, that sounds nice, but it's just favoritism!"

Su Xian'er said angrily, "She only said some unpleasant things to you, but she didn't say how she wanted to end things."

But she really did kidnap me, and she even kicked me! Do you know how hard that kick was? It still hurts!

Su Xian'er made up her mind. Since she had already been bullied, she wouldn't let it go unless she took advantage of her victimhood to do something!

"This one……"

Lin Yi was a little too tired to wash anymore.

Seeing Lin Yi show weakness, Su Xian'er pressed her advantage, saying, "Anyway, I'll remember this grudge. Return my golden core, and I'm going to have a good fight with that Xiao Se, so that the little cat won't think I'm easy to bully!"

She knew that Lin Yi would definitely try his best to downplay the incident, and at that time, the initiative would be in her hands.

Lin Yi had to appease her no matter what she asked for!

Xiao Se kicked her today, so don't blame her for getting revenge elsewhere.

Let the kitten cry then!

But Lin Yi was embarrassed when Su Xian'er made this request.

"Your golden core... I may not be able to repay you."

"???"

Su Xian'er was immediately puzzled.

If I can't return the Ruyi Jewel, so be it. It's a magic treasure, and I haven't lost it anyway.

Foxfire is nothing special; it won't have much impact.

But the Golden Core is her most fundamental thing. It is something she has refined through thousands of years of cultivation and countless tribulations. It is her lifeblood.

Without the Golden Core, she even has difficulty fully transforming into human form.

You could say that she is still considered a demon king, but her strength is definitely the weakest among demon kings.

Any demon king could bully her.

"You...you're joking, right?"

Su Xian'er was somewhat incredulous; she even hoped that Lin Yi was just teasing her.

Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, unsure how to face Su Xian'er.

His attitude also let Su Xian'er know that Lin Yi was not lying.

He really did swallow the golden elixir again.

"you you!!!"

Su Xian'er felt a little dizzy, and Lin Yi quickly hugged her.

This is in the sky; if it falls, it will be a disaster.

"It's gone...it's all gone..."

Su Xian'er muttered to herself, her eyes devoid of light.

Lin Yi quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."

"I was so stupid, so really... I didn't get the foxfire and the pearl back, and I even gave you the golden core..."

"Don't be sad, the foxfire will come, the pearl will come, and the golden core will come..."

Su Xian'er truly cried this time, her eyes brimming with tears that flowed uncontrollably.

"Gone, all gone..."

Su Xian'er burst into tears: "It's because I lost my golden core that people bully me like this. In the end, it's just that I'm unlucky."

"You might as well take my life too. Anyway, I have nothing to rely on in this world anymore. The sooner I go, the more dignity I'll have left..."

The Demon-Slaying Sword excitedly lit up with a red light. Was this some kind of good thing that had been delivered to their doorstep?

Even though Lin Yi knew that this vixen was deliberately manipulating her, he was still feeling guilty and didn't dare to provoke her. He quickly promised, "Don't say that. Since these things are all related to me, I will protect you no matter what."

"You protect me so well, but in the end, you still have to consider other people's opinions! If that Xiao woman tries to bully me again, will you help me or her?"

"I'll help you!"

"But what if that vixen Yan Qingqiu hits me?"

"I'm on your side too!"

"These irrelevant women are one thing, but you said you have a wife. If she can't tolerate me either..."

"Don't worry, they are all sensible women and won't make things difficult for you."

"they?"

Su Xian'er paused for a moment, then burst into tears again: "So there were several more! If I had followed you without any status, they would have definitely bullied me..."
