I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Don't overthink it, it's okay, I'm here for you."

Lin Yi noticed Jiang Linglong's unease, so he pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her.

Jiang Linglong remained silent, still deep in thought.

Lin Yi secretly observed her condition, and couldn't help but feel even more suspicious.

Jiang Linglong is now filled with self-blame, guilt, fear, and confusion.

This puzzled Lin Yi.

Self-blame, fear, and even confusion are understandable, but why the guilt?

Lin Yi always felt that these two words contained a huge amount of information.

However, since Jiang Linglong didn't say anything, Lin Yi didn't press the matter. He just pondered it silently in his mind, but without an answer, he put it aside for the time being.

We need to keep a close eye on Jiang Linglong during this time to prevent her from doing anything she shouldn't, or from being confronted by someone again.

Clearly, Jiang Linglong, who was originally the strongest among his wives, is now seen as a weakness, and people want to find a breakthrough by targeting her.

Lin Yi absolutely cannot forgive such unethical behavior, which involves targeting those close to him.

Inside the Dragon King's Palace, the two people nestled together were each preoccupied with their own thoughts, but the scene was still quite warm.

"Get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine when you wake up."

"Ah."

Jiang Linglong was very obedient and closed her eyes in Lin Yi's arms.

Actually, zombies don't need to sleep, but Lin Yi told her to sleep, so she did.

At first, she just pretended to fall asleep, but gradually she actually fell asleep. Everything around her seemed to slowly drift away, and she felt as if she were floating on a cloud, which was like a small boat rocking on the water, making her feel comfortable and at ease.

Suddenly a surge of waves came and capsized the small boat where she was sleeping peacefully. Jiang Linglong instinctively sat up in shock and realized that she was not on the boat, but in the camp.

"Woo~"

The melodious sound of horns came from afar, along with the thunderous booming of drums, dense and overwhelming, creating a chilling atmosphere that drew nearer.

"Reporting to the general, we are surrounded! Please order a breakout immediately!"

"??"

Jiang Linglong was somewhat confused, but she quickly put herself into the role.

She is a general, and she is currently on the battlefield.

She led her army into battle against the tyrant, but inadvertently fell into his trap. The main force was scattered, and now only five thousand remnants remain, trapped in an encirclement.

"Charge out!"

The scene shifts, and Jiang Linglong finds herself riding on the back of a magnificent tiger, leading her subordinates in a fierce battle.

But soon, the allied soldiers in red armor were overwhelmed by the enemy soldiers in white armor. After finally breaking out of the enemy's encirclement, she had no allies left.

Breaking out of the encirclement didn't mean she was safe. She was exhausted when a young general in white robes appeared in front of her. Her face was obscured by the distance, but she could hear him proclaiming, "Little princess, I have won this round."

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you."

"You are truly exceptionally talented. I cannot bear to kill you. Surrender, and I will bestow upon you the title of Great Moon King, to conquer the world in my stead."

The person's voice was gentle and not unpleasant to listen to. Jiang Linglong hadn't really taken her identity seriously yet, but she inexplicably spoke up angrily: "You are cruel and inhumane, you annihilated my Yuezhi tribe and slaughtered tens of thousands of people. I am sworn enemies with the Yin Shang dynasty, how could I possibly surrender!"

"The Shang dynasty never pointed its blade at the common people, but the Yuezhi were all soldiers. They sought benevolence and obtained it. How can they blame me for being unjust?"

The other party's explanation seemed to make some sense, but Jiang Linglong didn't stop there. Instead, she drew her sword and shouted angrily, "Tyrant, prepare to die!"

The one-on-one duel began. Jiang Linglong drew her sword and charged forward, and then she fell.

The white-robed young general's appearance was still blurry, but he held a red longsword in his hand that looked very familiar.

In a daze, Jiang Linglong only heard a sigh.

"He was a loyal and righteous soul; give him a proper burial!"

"..."

Am I going to die?

Jiang Linglong suddenly opened her eyes and realized that she was still in the Dragon King's Palace.

She breathed a sigh of relief. The pain from being stabbed in the chest by the longsword was still very clear, but after waking up, that feeling quickly became blurred.

It was probably just a dream!

But why would I have such a strange dream out of the blue?

What does this dream foreshadow?

Jiang Linglong knew very well that for a zombie, sleeping was already absurd enough, but dreaming was the absurdest of all.

This is definitely not a simple dream.

Jiang Linglong carefully recalled the details of her dream, frowning in deep thought.

In the dream, she was a general and also a princess of the Yuezhi. Judging from the later dialogue, her clan was wiped out by the tyrant of the Shang Dynasty.

"The Yuezhi... the Yuezhi..."

Jiang Linglong sat up, opened her crystal coffin, and took out a large number of bamboo slips and paper books, which she quickly began to read.

Lin Yi entered from outside the hall and saw this scene. He had only been gone for a short while and didn't know what had happened to Jiang Linglong.

What are you looking for?

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt like reading a book."

Jiang Linglong quickly slowed down the speed at which she flipped through the book, instinctively trying to cover up these things.

However, Lin Yi was incredibly cunning. He had overheard Jiang Linglong's mutterings as he entered the room, but he pretended not to notice.

"Then take your time reading. If you find any missing books, you can contact me. I've traveled all over the country and collected many books."

"Thank you."

Seeing Lin Yi being so gentle and considerate made Jiang Linglong feel even worse.

Little did she know that Lin Yi, though outwardly gentle, was secretly observing her state of mind.

He seems guilty and nervous again; he must be hiding something.

Lin Yi remained calm and gave Jiang Linglong a few instructions before leaving the Dragon King's Palace, giving Jiang Linglong some space to be alone.

Even after leaving the Dragon King's Palace, Lin Yi maintained close attention to Jiang Linglong.

"How is she?"

He Dong suddenly floated to Lin Yi's side, like a ghost, without making a sound.

He Dong was very concerned about Jiang Linglong's accident, but she wasn't good at comforting people, so she thought it was better to leave it to Lin Yi to handle.

Now she also wanted to know the firsthand situation.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "The situation isn't optimistic, but don't worry. Keep an eye on her secretly, and let me know as soon as she makes any move."

"no problem."

He Dong, as a ghost, also has his advantages, namely his skill in hiding and his difficulty in being discovered.

If XX were here, this matter would be much easier to handle.

"Hmm? Who was I thinking about just now?"

He Dong shook his head, feeling as if he had thought of something important, but he just couldn't remember it.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing He Dong frowning and looking like he had a headache, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Let's not do that, shall we?

They're getting married soon, and problems are popping up everywhere?

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've forgotten something."

"It's nothing, don't overthink it."

Lin Yi reached out and gently stroked the wrinkles between He Dong's brows, telling her not to worry too much.

Don't be too stubborn about things you can't remember; it's not good to give yourself a headache.

"But I think it's very important."

Nothing is more important than you.

Lin Yi gently comforted He Dong, thinking that He Dong would give up because of this, but He Dong sighed.

"I'm so useless."

Clearly, this ghost is somewhat depressed.

"Why do you say that?"

Silence was He Dong's answer.

She wasn't trying to attract Lin Yi's attention this way; she genuinely felt utterly useless.

At first, she and Lin Yi depended on each other for survival, and she was Lin Yi's biggest support.

But now Lin Yi is incredibly powerful and has become everyone's support, while she is of little use.

Although she was still the woman Lin Yi was going to marry, she felt that she no longer had any presence in Lin Yi's heart.

She didn't blame Lin Yi; she just felt that she was incompetent.

When Jiang Linglong went berserk before, she couldn't help her at all and could only go and call for reinforcements.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

However, she couldn't say these things to Lin Yi, so she could only respond with silence.

Lin Yi: "..."

They're getting married soon, and they're all so depressed. That won't do!

"If you want to be of some use, how about you do me a favor?"
