I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Originally, Lin Yi had decided that only he and Su Xian'er would travel together, but now he changed his mind and said, "Linglong, why don't you come along too? I miss you, and we can talk about a lot on the way."

"Ah."

Jiang Linglong responded indifferently. She was usually very enthusiastic towards Lin Yi, so her cold attitude now was quite unexpected.

But Qu Jing and the others didn't think much of it. They assumed that Jiang Linglong was sulking because she knew that Lin Yi had found a new lover.

That makes sense.

Jiang Linglong was going, and Yu Xue was naturally unwilling to be left behind, so the team became four people, leaving only Qu Jing, He Dong, and Bai Lianxian to stay behind.

Ok?

Something seemed off, but Lin Yi didn't notice.

His thoughts were entirely focused on Jiang Linglong. As soon as they left the Crystal Palace, he grabbed Jiang Linglong's hand.

It's relatively simple to handle unfair situations; all he has to do is take action.

Success will come soon.

The most difficult one to deal with is Jiang Linglong. Lin Yi doesn't know what she's confused about, or what the mysterious person said to her. How can he break this deadlock between husband and wife?

"Linglong, why aren't you saying anything? Are you in a bad mood?"

His straight serve made Su Xian'er feel incredibly guilty.

She felt that if Jiang Linglong was angry, there was an 80% chance it was because of her.

Su Xian'er was a little nervous, so she quickly and carefully searched for the location of the red snake. After finding it, she excitedly ran in one direction, like a dog that only knew how to lead the way, trying her best to minimize her presence.

Jiang Linglong couldn't give a perfunctory answer, so she could only reply, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about some things."

"what's up?"

Lin Yi continued to press, leaving Jiang Linglong with no room to back down.

She looked into Lin Yi's eyes and knew that if she didn't communicate with him properly, he probably wouldn't let the matter go easily.

The words of that mysterious man from before resurfaced in my mind.

She encountered that mysterious man on her way home. His origins were unknown, and his gender was ambiguous, but Jiang Linglong could sense a faint malice in him.

Clearly, that person had ill intentions.

Jiang Linglong originally didn't want to talk to him, and even wanted to fight. When the other party started to sow discord, Jiang Linglong even held the Judgment in her hand, ready to fight at any time.

However, the man only said a few words before running away, leaving no trace.

But those words were like a demon, planted in Jiang Linglong's heart.

“Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Although you always consider yourself a human being, are you really a human being?”

Aren't you really curious about what exactly your missing memories are?

"Imagine if one day he discovers that you are actually his enemy, how would he treat you?"

After saying these three sentences, the cowardly fellow disappeared without a trace, but the ripples stirred in Jiang Linglong's heart remained unresolved.

What made Jiang Linglong most uneasy was his second question.

What exactly are the memories she's missing?

She had never really thought about this question before; she only remembered that she was a princess who had been betrayed and turned into a zombie, needing to drink blood to survive.

She didn't want to think about the details because every time she tried, her head felt like it was going to explode with pain. Over time, she simply stopped wanting to think about it.

However, after being enlightened this time, she endured the pain and wanted to figure out what she really was before.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see any images at all; all she could see was the Judgment Sword humming intermittently.

Jiang Linglong had no choice but to put the problem aside for the time being, but she remained lost in thought after returning to the Crystal Palace.

The questions I'm pondering are those three questions.

Is she human?

Who is she?

If she indiscriminately kills innocent people, how will Lin Yi treat her?

She went through the three questions repeatedly, but she could only roughly estimate the answer to the third one.

If one day she loses control, the most likely thing Lin Yi will do is...

Kill her!

Thinking of this, Jiang Linglong couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She could understand Lin Yi, but ultimately, it was she who was going to die.

Only the person experiencing it can truly understand the bitterness.

At that moment, she decided to leave the problem to Lin Yi.

"I was thinking, what would you do if one day I lost control of the curse and became a zombie that killed everyone it saw?"

Lin Yi: "..."

This troublesome question actually came out of the person in question.

Could it be that she already had a premonition?

Lin Yi immediately tensed up and hugged Jiang Linglong, saying, "I won't give up on you. I will find a way to break your curse."

This answer did not satisfy Jiang Linglong, who emphasized, "I said it's out of control."

Lin Yi: "..."

He doesn't know the answer to this question.

Even though he already knew the answer to this question, Lin Yi still didn't know how to answer it correctly.

Admittedly, the plight of the common people is of little concern to Lin Yi, and their importance in his heart is certainly not as great as that of Jiang Linglong, his companion on the same journey.

For the sake of all living beings, Lin Yi could not bring himself to kill his own wife.

However, Lin Yi couldn't bear to watch Jiang Linglong go berserk and kill tens of thousands of ordinary people.

Justice and love seem to be incompatible.

A fleeting look of hesitation crossed Lin Yi's eyes, but he quickly regained his resolve.

"If that moment ever comes, I'd rather die before you..."

But I won't.

He wouldn't let Jiang Linglong's body go on a killing spree after she lost her mind, or let her regain her senses after killing him, only to face endless pain.

If it really comes to that, he'll probably strike first.

Jiang Linglong understood Lin Yi's meaning and couldn't help but smile.

She was really confused, and even felt sad for a while because she wondered if Lin Yi would kill her.

Now that her reason has returned, she realizes that killing her is probably harder than letting her go.

If you let her get out of control and don't do anything about it, as long as you can't bear it and can't make a decision, it's easy to reach this situation.

Killing her, however, requires immense determination and perseverance; only then can one muster the courage to wield the knife against their lover.

"Don't worry, there won't be such a moment."

Jiang Linglong secretly made up her mind that even if such a moment came, she would never let herself die at Lin Yi's hands.

Su Xian'er was completely confused. She had thought that Jiang Linglong was angry because of her, but it turned out that the two were talking about this kind of issue.

How did this perfectly normal couple end up talking about fighting and killing?

Su Xian'er didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

Along the way, Su Xian'er naturally didn't dare to say too much.

As for Yu Xue, she is not a talkative person, and she only becomes a little happier and talks a few more words when playing in the water.

Following Su Xian'er's directions, the group headed north.

Jiang Linglong returned the Demon-Slaying Sword to Lin Yi so that he could fly on the sword. The three of them could ride on one sword without feeling crowded.

Yu Xue flew off to play in the clouds all by herself, so there's no need to worry about her.

"arrive."

Su Xian'er smelled a strong snake scent. It wasn't just one snake, but a group of snakes together.

The snakes' scents masked each other, and if Su Xian'er's sense of smell hadn't been so extraordinary, it would have been very difficult to pinpoint the location of the poisoned snake.

With so many red-banded snakes, Su Xian'er couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had stopped Qu Jing, otherwise Qu Jing would have been wasting her time here.

With so many snakes, she had probably found the lair of the Crimson Serpent Clan.

Upon arriving here, Yu Xue's mood soured, and she said angrily, "It's such a hot place, I don't like it here."

Snakes are generally considered to be yin, but the red-banded snake is considered to be fire, and the air is filled with a scorching heat. Naturally, it cannot adapt to snow and may even want to bring a heavy snowfall to the area.

Lin Yi thought this was a good idea. This place was sparsely populated and filled with demonic energy. Looking around, it was a mess of smoke and miasma. A snowfall would be just right to purify it up a bit.

"I think I've caught a whiff of something else..."

Su Xian'er suddenly said with some joy.

This feeling is like sensing one of the twelve zodiac animals.

Among the twelve zodiac animals, she is the only one who always keeps the little golden zodiac figure inside the spirit platform, because the golden zodiac figure inside the spirit platform would reveal the location of the other zodiac animals.

Su Xian'er knew Lin Yi wanted to hunt the other zodiac animals, so she was deliberately trying to bait him!

Anyway, she has a sense of danger and isn't afraid of being ambushed.

Zodiac signs that are very close in distance can also sense each other, but some have a stronger sense of connection than others.

Someone as perceptive as Su Xian'er, who also places the zodiac metal figure within her spiritual platform, will naturally have a more acute perception of other zodiac signs.

"Here, there is a zodiac animal."

"It's most likely the Year of the Snake."

Lin Yi was surprised that he could accomplish two things in one trip, which made him very happy.
