I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Zero One is very angry right now.

She was completely overwhelmed in her last fight with Lin Yi, and she quickly realized that she could no longer suppress Lin Yi in terms of martial arts.

But she was confident that she could outwit Lin Yi in the art of cunning.

She then wanted to play hide-and-seek with Lin Yi, but Lin Yi didn't come looking for her at all—at that time, Lin Yi saw that Su Xian'er was in danger and went straight to save Su Xian'er. As for Qianhuan Guiji, Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to her.

Enraged, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess arrived in Chang'an.

She had been following Lin Yi for several days, so she knew that Lin Yi had been staying in Chang'an for some time.

She planned to wait for Lin Yi to come to Chang'an City. As for threatening Lin Yi with his friends, Ling Yi wanted to do that, but was stopped by Qianhuan Guiji.

She had stepped on the same landmine several times, each time offending Lin Yi deeply, each time more damaging than the last.

Therefore, this time, Qianhuan Guiji did not appear as Lin Yi's enemy, but as Lin Yi's old friend, appearing beside Hua Nianrou.

When Hua Nianrou heard that she was Lin Yi's sister, she had some doubts in her heart, but on the surface she was very attentive.

Regardless of whether she's real or not, before verifying her authenticity, it's best to treat her as a real older sister.

And so, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess settled down in Chang'an.

She waited there, thinking that Lin Yi should return to Chang'an by now.

Very well, Qianhuan Guiji has fallen into the same predicament as Shang Chang'er, while Shang Chang'er is still on her way to Chang'an...

What will happen when the two meet is currently unknown.

It seems things won't end well for us to meet again.

Lin Yi woke up early that morning.

As a time management master, Lin Yi gets very little sleep.

He is physically strong and only needs to sleep for one hour a day to be fully rested.

Actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep. As long as his mental exhaustion isn't too great, theoretically he can stay awake indefinitely.

The most dangerous first day has been resolved by his wit, and now it's just a warm and beautiful daily routine.

The Crystal Palace is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world; it is truly a wonderful place to live in seclusion.

Lin Yi rarely had a moment of leisure, so he set up a pot and began preparing breakfast.

When he's away from home, he doesn't have many opportunities to eat breakfast. He eats whatever comes to mind, only cooking when he feels like it and has free time.

At other times, a northwest wind is also fine.

Since the whole family had finally gotten together, Lin Yi naturally had to put in some effort.

There was some bamboo rat meat in the cloud bag, but Lin Yi had killed too many rats before, and the sight of rat meat still made him feel uneasy. So he simply took it all out and destroyed it, before taking out some mutton, which he finely chopped and made into a topping.

I added some refined flour, mixed it with water, and started kneading the dough.

He plans to make some mutton buns.

Although he doesn't have a steamer, he possesses magical powers.

After wrapping dozens of buns, Lin Yi began to use his Water and Fire Magic. Water turned into steam, which, under Lin Yi's control, exquisitely impacted one bun after another.

Using steamed buns to practice one's immortal techniques is a pretty good trick, though most cultivators wouldn't think of such a luxurious method.

Using magical arts consumes mental energy, so it shouldn't be wasted.

As the fragrance filled the Crystal Palace, the others gradually woke up.

Lin Yi invited everyone to prepare for dinner, and it was at the dinner table that he explained the day's itinerary.

"Little Fox and I will go to Jingye Division together in a little while. Xiaocao and Jinxuan have some business to attend to. Dong'er, Master, why don't you wait for Linglong to return at home?"

"what about me?"

Bai Lianxian, the only one whose name wasn't mentioned, spoke up very loudly.

Lin Yi glanced at her and said, "Of course you stay at home too."

"No, I want to go out and play too! I've been cooped up for so long!"

Bai Lianxian touched her delicate face and said, "I'm so bored. Even such a beautiful face can have flaws."

Lin Yi: "..."

It's been a long time since I've heard Bai Lianxian showing off; it's really a bit strange.

Qu Jing also spoke up, "Since you're going to the Jingye Division, let me go with you. I'll also go and see them."

If Qu Jing hadn't mentioned it, Lin Yi would have almost forgotten that she was the current Chief Constable of Xingsha County.

Chen Huaiyuan was still the acting chief constable.

Goodness, it's amazing that every Chief Constable has chosen him as acting.

Qu Jing's statement makes a lot of sense, at least much more reasonable than Bai Lianxian's.

So here's the problem: now that everyone else is leaving, only He Dong is left to look after the house.

Obviously, this is inappropriate.

Xiao Cao never expected that what she originally intended to do was to offer incense and pay respects to Qin Shi, but instead, the whole family went out together.

Lin Yi sighed helplessly and said, "Since no one wants to stay at home, let's go together. Just be careful not to stray too far from me."

Going out at this time is actually not very safe, because although Lin Yi's third eye is closed and his appearance no longer shows any supernatural power, his internal body is still merging, and it will probably take another day or two.

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry. The giant eyeball he killed was the original form certified by the Demon-Slaying Manual, so the things it dropped were definitely extraordinary. It wasn't surprising that the fusion process took a while.

Lin Yi thought it was fast that they could integrate in three days.

Without the Heavenly Eye to protect him, Lin Yi could only rely on his keen five senses.

Putting aside other things, it can easily cover the area of ​​a county town.

Anyone who appears within his precise perception range and poses a threat will be detected by him.

Moreover, Su Xian'er also possesses related innate abilities, so Lin Yi wasn't worried about any dangers from taking his family out. However, he still needed to give her some reminders.

After reaching an agreement, the group set off for Xingsha County.

As soon as they reached the Xiangjiang River, Xiaocao said, "Master, why don't I go to pay my respects to my mother by myself? You have important matters to attend to, so you don't have to come with me."

Lin Yi then realized that Xiao Cao's home, Qinghe Village, was not far from the Crystal Palace, so it would be closer to go directly to Qinghe Village. There was no need to go to the county city with them.

Lin Yi looked at the grass for a while, and then suddenly realized what was going on.

Although Xiaocao is a quiet child, she has a lot on her mind.

She probably didn't want so many people to go with her to pay respects to her mother, so she made up an excuse!

Since that was the case, Lin Yi agreed.

Anyway, Xiaocao is exceptionally talented; even Su Xian'er's supernatural powers couldn't detect her, which shows how powerful she is.

Last night, Su Xian'er secretly told Lin Yi about this. She didn't sense Xiao Cao's arrival at the time and thought there were only four, but she saw five people.

She didn't say anything at the time, but she secretly had doubts, so she told Lin Yi about it.

Lin Yi simply told her not to worry about it and to act as if nothing had happened, without offering any further explanation.

He himself knew how powerful Xiaocao was, and Qinghe Village was not far from the county town. Lin Yi was concerned and not worried that Xiaocao would encounter any danger.

After much deliberation, he finally agreed.

"Then go ahead. If you're done first, go home."

"Ah."

The little grass nodded and walked in another direction.

Wang Jinxuan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lin Yi, and said, "I'm worried about Xiaocao's safety alone, so I'm going to stay with her. Goodbye, Master!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Is it possible that the grass is safer when you're not around?

Chapter 457 I Want to Become an Immortal

Lin Yi watched Wang Jinxuan and Xiao Cao leave, but he wasn't too worried.

They haven't left the territory of Changsha Prefecture, so he just needs to be more careful.

If someone were to harm Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan, he would be able to sense it. Moreover, Xiaocao is so special that it wouldn't be so easy for others to hurt her.

After all, Xiaocao had encountered many dangers since she was a child, but she always survived, thanks to the people around her...

Jinxuan, you... take care of yourself.

Lin Yi kept an eye on the situation, but still took his wives and concubines into the city.

Upon entering the city, Lin Yi immediately sensed the vibrant life of the place.

Lin Yi left in early winter and returned in spring.

Spring arrives and all things flourish, bringing with them a renewed vitality to the people living here.

Rural villagers work in the fields, scholars and students go on spring outings with friends, and peddlers and laborers roam the streets and alleys. People of different social statuses can all find their own enjoyment.

"It seems the new prefect is not bad."

A place cannot remain without a ruler for long. When Xingsha County was without a prefect, Lin Yi even planned to attack the people sent by the imperial court, then support Xiao Se to take the throne, and then help Xiao Se slowly accumulate power from a small place, waiting for the right time to raise an army in rebellion.

At the same time, he will also slay demons and monsters in the vicinity, gradually increasing his strength.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.

His strength suddenly increased rapidly, and the fates of those around him seemed to be fast-forwarded as well.

Take Xiao Zhao, for example. He was destined to be emperor for eight years, but he didn't even get to become emperor for a year before being killed by Lin Yi.

Following the normal trajectory of fate, Xiao Se would probably have to lie low for a long time before he could sit on that throne.

As a result, thanks to Lin Yi's encouragement, she is now halfway up the train.

Logically speaking, given her military power and her status as the publicly acknowledged heir of the Liang Kingdom, her path to the throne might be fraught with difficulties, but it shouldn't be too tumultuous.

Clearly, Lin Yi's appearance has changed the fate of many people.
