I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

“You can speak now.”

Lin Yi was confident that with his divine soul power protecting him, he could guarantee that the secret would not be leaked.

However, the range of the divine soul power was limited, so Lin Yi had to get closer to Hua Nianrou. In the small kitchen, a touch of romance suddenly appeared between them.

"You must be careful of that Miss Zhang; don't believe everything she says."

"Why do you say that?"

Lin Yi looked at Hua Nianrou in surprise. He was afraid to trust others because he had been provoked by Yan Qingqiu. What was Hua Nianrou's reason?

"What she told you is probably true, but there are many things she's hiding. For example, how did Emperor Xin and the Qin Emperor know about the struggle for destiny?"

"Perhaps, this is a warning from Heaven?"

"That's possible, but who built the Heavenly Treasury and what's inside? She should know, but she didn't say anything."

"This is not enough to prove that she is suspicious."

Lin Yi argued with Hua Nianrou because he hoped she would think more logically. He didn't completely trust Zhang Jiao, but he wouldn't voice his doubts without concrete evidence.

Of course, he didn't blame Hua Nianrou; she came to remind him because she was worried about him.

"She didn't say how Qin Shi Huang was defeated."

Hua Nianrou then stated her third piece of evidence.

Zhang Jiao described in detail how Di Xin died, even describing the manner of his death.

She didn't mention any details about how Qin Shi Huang died or how the war against Heaven failed.

In summary, Qin Shi Huang became aware of the immortals' plundering of human fortune, then raised an army, and was defeated.

Gone.

In the end, she only mentioned that it had a significant impact on the Immortal Realm, but she didn't specify what that impact was.

A woman who knows the secrets of nine thousand years ago seems to know everything, yet she has something to hide about the Qin Emperor.

She didn't even really hide anything; she just didn't go into detail. If you didn't think carefully, you wouldn't notice her little trick.

A woman's intuition told Hua Nianrou that there must be something hidden here.

But she's not a god after all. It's already quite good that she can tell something's wrong from some descriptions. How can she easily find solid evidence?

As for Zhang Jiao's mental threat to her not to talk about it, Hua Nianrou didn't want to tell Lin Yi about it.

She knew Lin Yi was very strong, but Zhang Jiao was even more unpredictable.

The fact that she was able to pull her away from the brink of death shows that she is quite capable.

Her demeanor appears positive, yet she is the Earth Mother of the Pure Heaven Sect, one of the four great demonic sects.

Is she good or evil?

Hua Nianrou knew that one could not judge a person by their appearance, as appearances can be very deceptive.

She trusts her intuition more.

Zhang Jiao may not be a bad person, but she is definitely not a good person to Lin Yi.

However, even after she had said all that, Lin Yi still shook his head and said, "Don't judge a person based on subjective assumptions. Besides, this matter is too complicated for you to get involved in."

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

Hua Nianrou wanted to persuade him again, but Lin Yi removed his protective gear, leaving Hua Nianrou speechless.

"I can probably keep this body going for another day. Would you like to come home with me today?"

"what?"

Hua Nianrou was completely bewildered. How did things suddenly turn into talking about going home with him?

After the initial shock, Hua Nianrou's heart was filled with joy.

What does it mean?

Is Lin Yi planning to accept her?

Hua Nianrou was overjoyed and, disregarding her composure, jumped up and hugged Lin Yi from behind.

"I am willing!"

Lin Yi: "..."

If you're willing, then you're willing. You don't need to hug me, right?

Or perhaps she misunderstood something?

Before Hua Nianrou could say anything more, Lin Yi quickly explained, "Miss Hua, what I mean is, I want to take you home to treat your illness."

Hua Nianrou: "..."

Who am I? Where am I? What did I just do?

Realizing she had misunderstood, Hua Nianrou blushed and quickly released Lin Yi.

Now her intentions are completely exposed.

"I'll do whatever you say. It's too hot in the kitchen, I'll go out now."

Hua Nianrou's face flushed, and she dared not stand with Lin Yi anymore. When she went out, she tripped on the threshold and almost fell, but Lin Yi reacted quickly and caught her with a gentle breeze.

Hua Nianrou felt even more embarrassed and quickly moved away from the kitchen, hiding back in the study hall before she could catch her breath.

At that very moment, Shang Chang'er, weathered by the elements, happened to pass by on the streets of Chang'an.

She was disguised; she looked like a short, old man.

As they passed the Green Bamboo Study, Ah Qi, who was with them, suddenly acted strangely.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Because Ah Qi arrived first and taught her more, Shang Chang'er called her Master.

Ah Qi has been silent for a long time and doesn't talk much. Shang Chang'er has been the one making her way in the world all along.

With a top-notch master by her side, Shang Chang'er became much bolder. However, she did not encounter any problems that she could not solve along the way. Many things were dangerous but ended without alarming A Qi.

Shang Chang'er can be considered exceptionally gifted. The ability to travel from one foot to another is not an easy skill to learn, but Shang Chang'er managed to master it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have arrived in Chang'an so quickly.

Upon arriving in Chang'an, Shang Chang'er didn't really know how to find Lin Yi. She needed to find a place to settle down first, and then go around inquiring about information.

To everyone's surprise, when they arrived at this place, Ah Qi actually reacted.

"It's nothing, I just sensed a special aura."

This statement is, of course, a lie.

Ah Qi sensed the aura of a demon; such pure demonic energy could only be possessed by a true demon.

But within that demonic energy was also a trace of human warmth, as if the demonic energy and human warmth had perfectly merged together.

"What special aura?"

Shang Chang'er was a little curious, and A Qi took advantage of that.

"Want to know? Just go in with a different appearance."

Ah Qi also wanted to know who that person with pure demonic energy was.

Shang Chang'er then entered a dimly lit alley, and a few breaths later, a handsome young man emerged from the alley.

When it comes to cross-dressing, Shang Chang'er is a professional.

Upon entering the study, Shang Chang'er's gaze was immediately drawn to Hua Nianrou.

This girl with rosy cheeks is so alluring.

As a fellow girl, she found Hua Nianrou incredibly beautiful and wanted to kiss her a few times.

Ah Qi was even more excited.

This is the best host!

After arriving in the human world, although she was said to be immortal, she lost even her true demonic body during her multiple deaths, and now only her demonic thoughts remain.

Although he was the Demon Ancestor, he only retained the status of the Demon Ancestor, but not the strength of the Demon Ancestor.

If you don't encounter other true demons, that's fine, but if you do, you'll most likely be eaten by other demons.

But she was incredibly lucky; she encountered a human-demon hybrid.

Although the girl in front of him possessed demonic energy, this energy was very subtle, hidden only in her bloodline. If she were not the Demon Ancestor, no one would have been able to discover that she had demonic blood.

"Once I have a physical body, I can personally seduce Lin Yi. Why would I need Shang Chang'er, this useless disciple?"

Chapter 495 The Day the Old Sword Was Reforged

In terms of persistence, the demon race can definitely rank first among all races in the world.

Just like Ah Qi, after possessing Shang Chang'er, she absorbed the negative energy in people's hearts and quickly made up for her previous cultivation.

The terrifying aspect of the demon race lies not in individual combat, but in their manipulation of people's minds.

With this ability, she could easily stir up the world and replicate the feat of thousands of years ago.

Alternatively, she could search the mortal realm for any remaining true demon bloodlines, like Hua Nianrou's. If there's one demon bloodline like that, there's bound to be a second.

If you take the time to look, you can always find it.

When the time comes, he will gradually restore the Demon Ancestor's strength and roam the world freely. Why would he need to hide in the mortal realm and not even dare to meet Jiang Linglong?

But she was determined to fight Lin Yi to the death, and she couldn't let go of the goals she had set.

Even if she is the Demon Ancestor, she will still have her own demonic obstacles.

Now, Lin Yi is her obsession.

By causing Lin Yi to fall into depravity, her strength will surely break through its limits.

Shang Chang'er was unaware that she was about to become a discarded tool, and even less aware that A Qi had already found his target. When she saw Hua Nianrou, a pretty young lady, who seemed to be feeling unwell, she went up to her and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

Hua Nianrou was startled, realizing that she had been seen in such a disheveled state by a man. She quickly pulled out a veil and put it on before saying, "Thank you for your concern, young master. May I ask if you came to read or to buy books?"
