I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Seeing Su Xian'er fall, he took a running start, jumped a little, and caught her just in time. He then kicked off the wall a few times and spun around in the air a few times, narrowly avoiding falling into the pile of corpses with Su Xian'er.

He easily neutralized the impact of Su Xian'er's fall, and she only let out a muffled groan, suffering some minor injuries.

However, after arriving at this place, Su Xian'er felt very short of breath, as if something was pressing down on her.

The Five Sacred Mountains Prison is not just targeting Lin Yi; everyone in this space will be suppressed.

Su Xian'er's cultivation was inferior to Lin Yi's. As soon as Lin Yi put her on the ground, she knelt down before him with a thud, and then prostrated herself on the ground, right next to the Ruyi Pearl.

"Where am I? I feel so uncomfortable..."

Lin Yi found her appearance quite comical, but he knew this was no time for jokes, so he quickly picked Su Xian'er up. Su Xian'er felt much more comfortable, but Lin Yi felt a bit heavier.

This pressure is completely unscientific.

Why did you jump down so recklessly?

Lin Yi sighed helplessly. Su Xian'er was still in Lin Yi's arms. Looking at Lin Yi's expression, she was stunned for a moment, and then tears suddenly streamed down her face.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Su Xian'er's tears came so suddenly that Lin Yi was completely baffled as to why she was crying.

"I was just worried about you. I was thinking that if you encountered enemies, I could help you in some way. I didn't know things would turn out like this. Why are you so disgusted with me?"

Seeing her pitiful look, Lin Yi quickly explained, "I didn't dislike you. I just sighed. How could that be disliking you?"

"Sighing means you're annoyed with me, right? I know you're just fed up with me."

Su Xian'er became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her tears flowed more and more, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.

Indeed, in just a few days, Su Xian'er went from being the powerful Lord of Tushan to a weak little fox that everyone could beat, and she had been holding back a lot of resentment for a long time.

As the lord of Tushan, when had she ever fawned over or flattered anyone like this?

Perhaps it's because I've been holding back my emotions for so long, but things that I didn't think were a big deal before now make me feel wronged.

Seeing Lin Yi sigh because of her made her even more convinced that Lin Yi didn't like her, but only had to accept her as a burden because of responsibility.

More importantly, she felt incredibly embarrassed. She had fallen and been caught by Lin Yi, yet she had landed flat on her face, covered in dust and dirt.

Having lost face and not only failed to help Lin Yi, but seemingly even caused him trouble, the more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt. This feeling inexplicably turned into resentment, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

If you can't hold it in, won't the tears just flow?

Seeing her aggrieved look, Lin Yi sighed inwardly, thinking that girls are just too sensitive.

He didn't mean to look down on Su Xian'er; he was just worried that the tribulation of a hundred thousand years of cultivation would definitely not be a simple matter. The bottom of this bottomless pit was only about a hundred square meters. If the lightning struck, he didn't know if Su Xian'er would have anywhere to hide.

How can I not worry?

Originally, he was alone, so he wouldn't have had any worries about how he faced the tribulation.

But he absolutely did not blame Su Xian'er. As she said, she didn't know what the cave was like, so it was understandable that she was eager to help him.

However, such an explanation is probably useless.

When a girl is angry or upset, explaining won't help.

Lin Yi could only sincerely say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I made you suffer such a great injustice."

First, calm her down; we can clear up the misunderstanding later.

Hearing Lin Yi apologize, Su Xian'er finally stopped complaining. She buried her head in Lin Yi's arms and wiped away her tears. After wiping for a while, she continued to complain, "I have never been so wronged in my life."

Suddenly I felt like I had become a weakling, unable to beat anyone, utterly useless, and now I couldn't even stand up..."

After hearing what she said, Lin Yi understood why she had suddenly become so emotional.

Ultimately, all negative emotions stem from inner anxiety.

Being bullied is just a superficial symptom; the real reason is that she has realized she has become weak and insecure.

The catalyst was the appearance of Zi Daoren, which put her in a life-or-death crisis. For the first time, she faced an enemy whose strength far surpassed hers, and her heart was shaken.

This was just the beginning. Then, treasures and supernatural powers were lost one after another, and finally, the golden elixir was also lost.

After losing her golden core and being captured by Xiao Se, her inner unease was constantly amplified.

I must have suffered a lot when I was young. I lacked the skills, and the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became.

She finally had the Dog zodiac sign and her strength had returned, but these psychological shadows had not disappeared, so she tried her best to prove herself.

Unexpectedly, the attempt failed, and the student fell into a trap, proving their incompetence once again.

Lin Yi's sigh became the fuse that made Su Xian'er completely lose her composure.

Looking back on the events of the past few days, Lin Yi finally understood why Su Xian'er had cried.

Ultimately, it's still about unease.

Now that we've identified the root of the problem, we know how to appease her.

Lin Yi was holding her with both hands, so he couldn't free one hand to touch her head and had to use his own face instead.

He lowered his head, his face close to Su Xian'er's, and whispered gently in her ear, "Little fox, it's okay. Be my dog, and no one will be able to bully you anymore..."

Su Xian'er: "..."

What did you just say?

Chapter 445 The Calamity Begins

To be honest, Su Xian'er was so shocked that she forgot to continue crying for a moment.

Although she held the divine position associated with the dog in the Chinese zodiac, she was a fox, not a dog!

Seeing that she was stunned, Lin Yi laughed and said, "Just kidding, don't cry. You're such a big fox, why are you still acting like a child?"

Lin Yi's coaxing skills were quite unique. He would first use ferocious words to scare her, and then use sarcastic remarks to belittle her. When Su Xian'er had nothing to say, he would comfort her by saying, "Do I look like a heartless person to you?"

If you've been with me and suffered any injustice, I'll definitely stand up for you.

Everyone has their low points, but you just get back up. You're in a low point now, but can you stay in it forever?

After these three moves, Su Xian'er finally stopped crying, and her intelligence regained its footing.

She would only cry a few times when she was emotionally overwhelmed, and when she came to her senses, she realized that it was indeed quite embarrassing.

How can a true strong person cry in a man's arms?

She needs to pull herself together!

However, Su Xian'er realized that she didn't look very good right now, so she quickly lowered her head and wiped her tears on Lin Yi's body. She figured it wasn't a good time to see anyone yet, so she kept her head down and changed the subject, asking, "How did you fall down?"

"Well, I accidentally fell into a pit while catching mice!"

Lin Yi then briefly summarized his experience of killing rats, which led to his encounter with Zi Daoren and subsequent being tricked by him.

The situation is not optimistic. After hearing this, Su Xian'er quickly said, "Tell Qu Jing right away!"

She then remembered that Qu Jing was still waiting outside. She hoped that Qu Jing could act according to the plan, otherwise, if she fell in, it would just be one more person falling into the pit, which would not help the current situation at all.

Lin Yi then realized that the human and the fox had come together, and it seemed that they got along quite well.

Lin Yi didn't have time to add details with Su Xian'er. He shouted loudly at the cave entrance, "Master, don't come down! Go find a rope long enough to save us!"

Qu Jing waited at the cave entrance for a long time before she finally heard Lin Yi's voice.

Su Xian'er fell down, and Lin Yi also fell down. Both of them had cultivation levels exceeding hers, yet they were helpless against this cave. Qu Jing naturally knew that this place was unusual.

"I see!"

Qu Jing shouted into the cave and left without lingering.

Lin Yi and Su Xian'er are both trapped in the cave, and now she is the only one who can help them.

But how long of a rope is considered long enough?

Down in the cave, Lin Yi was relieved to hear Qu Jing's reply. At least Qu Jing hadn't jumped down after him.

Su Xian'er asked, "Do you know how deep this cave is?"

"I don't know, but it must be very deep."

Lin Yi originally wanted to calculate it. He roughly estimated that it took him about ten minutes from jumping into the cave to landing.

Lin Yi did remember gravitational acceleration, but...

How is this calculated?

Oh well, the celestial realm doesn't follow physics anyway.

When Lin Yi fell, he clearly felt displaced; obviously, the distance he actually landed was not equal to the depth of the cave.

How long will it take her to get the rope?

Su Xian'er stared longingly at the top, hoping that Qu Jing would come to rescue her soon.

Being in a cramped and oppressive space, surrounded by darkness, with only the dim light emanating from the unique stones, made Su Xian'er feel uncomfortable all over.

For a moment, she forgot that she could take the opportunity to express her love and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Lin Yi sighed, "Don't wait for her anymore. I tricked her into leaving."

If a rope could solve their predicament, Lin Yi felt that he was underestimating Zi Daoren.

So far, Zi Daoren is the most troublesome enemy Lin Yi has ever encountered.

He possesses profound cultivation, extensive knowledge, a powerful background, and the ability to remain steadfast. He is decisive and has deep foresight.

Such an opponent, whose supernatural power was unleashed at the cost of his life, was certainly no joke.

Moreover, the cave is at least several thousand meters deep, and there are some strange places in the middle. It's not certain that the rope can be thrown in, and even if it is, the length may not be long enough. Even if it is long enough, it may not be able to pull them up.

Besides, where is Qu Jing going to find such a long rope?

Lin Yi's initial intention was to trick her into leaving, and he has to solve this problem himself.

At this point, he couldn't keep it from Su Xian'er.

Upon hearing this, Su Xian'er immediately became anxious.

"What does this mean? Why did you lie to her?"

"Master Zi said that I killed his clone, and I guess he did it on purpose to provoke me. But I believe that a trace of his true spirit still lives outside."
