I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

He was not greedy, and he didn't care much about external things. From beginning to end, he only wanted to protect himself.

As for my temper, it is true that I have a bit of a temper, but that's because there are so many injustices in the world; who wouldn't get angry when they see them?

As for obsessions, Lin Yi's obsessions are not strong. Originally, he only had one: to become stronger and protect himself. Now, he has an additional obsession: to shoulder the heavy responsibilities.

If one must abandon their responsibilities in order to achieve personal liberation and freedom, then such a Buddhist heart is better left unfulfilled!

After much thought, he realized that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's words were still a reminder to him.

Lay down your butcher's knife, and you can avoid being killed and instantly become a Buddha.

Unfortunately, he was unwilling to let go.

Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva failed to convert Lin Yi, Lin Yi remembered his secret help.

Let's see what he wants in the future. As long as it's not too outrageous, he'll accept it.

If the other party has malicious intentions, don't blame them for turning their back on you.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had been gone for a long time, and Lin Yi released his Heavenly Eye to watch outside for a long time before he felt at ease and pulled Zero One out of the Abyss of Exile.

Zero One was soaked through, his clothes clinging tightly to his body, turning from white to black.

The waters of the Abyss of Exile are all black. This blackness is not a color, but rather a thick layer of resentment from all living beings. Being tainted by it is not good for either humans or ghosts.

Lin Yi's vital energy was so strong that he could purify the black water in the blink of an eye, but Ling Yi's cultivation was insufficient, so Lin Yi had to help.

These things can't be washed with water, and Lin Yi can't use the Buddha's Light indiscriminately. After all, Lingyi herself is a ghost, and it would be interesting if she were to be converted.

He could only use his own vital energy to purify the black water little by little. Afraid of accidentally harming her, he could only use his hands to gently activate his vital energy and attach it to his arm to slowly wipe away the black water.

Despite trying to avoid contact, there are bound to be places you accidentally touch.

Zero One's face was flushed, and she gritted her teeth to endure the chilling sensation brought by the water sticking to her body.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Lin Yi had no choice but to speed up, which made him even less concerned about the rules between men and women.

After cleaning, Lingyi's whole body was flushed pink, whether from the stimulation of Lin Yi's blood and qi or from shyness, it was hard to tell.

Lin Yi had no choice but to assume she was the former, and said with a serious expression, "This ordeal is halfway over, but the defenses at the Gates of Hell should still be very tight. However, I have a way to sneak around the guards."

Once the gates of hell are opened, we can return to the human world.

Lin Yi has already seized control of the Yama's Gate, so he can open it whenever he wants.

His most dangerous moment was when many Ghost Emperors gathered in the Abyss of Exile.

Fortunately, he was able to hide in the Abyss of Exile. In other places, even if he stayed in one place, he would probably be found.

After the four Ghost Emperors dispersed, he would not be at a disadvantage against any of them individually.

However, after gaining control of the power of Yama, he became even more aware of the power's might.

Yama's authority is not primarily for combat, yet he is still so powerful. Among the Ten Kings of Hell, there must be those who are specifically in charge of combat, and those gods must be far more powerful than Yama, let alone the Ghost Emperor who is one rank higher.

If it's not necessary, Lin Yi doesn't want to become enemies with the Ghost Emperor without knowing anything about him.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had just used the Demon-Slaying Manual to record all the Yama Kings and Ghost Emperors. The Demon-Slaying Manual had a function that Lin Yi had unlocked long ago but had not used, which was simulated battle.

Previously, there were no targets worth simulating for Lin Yi, but now, Lin Yi can use this function of the Demon-Slaying Manual to explore the abilities of these Yama Kings through actual combat.

Lin Yi had never used this function before, and he didn't dare to use it recklessly now. He would wait until he returned to the human world before trying to use it.

Lingyi sensed Lin Yi's confidence and felt much more relaxed.

But when she recalled the time she spent running for her life with Lin Yi, and how they hid and trembled together at the bottom of the Abyss of Exile, although it was a bit of a mess, she didn't feel bitter at all. Instead, she felt it was a wonderful memory.

At least from beginning to end, Lin Yi protected her.

So when she heard that they could return to the human world, she felt relieved for their situation, but also saddened that this period of wandering was about to end.

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy?"

Lin Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"nothing."

As she spoke, Zero-One suddenly asked, "Um... after we return to the human world, will you still treat me like this?"

Lin Yi didn't speak, and Ling Yi added, "If possible, be nicer to Ling Ling when you get back."

Even if it's just like now, treating her like a regular friend, with less of a guarded attitude, she'll be very happy.

Lin Yi: "..."

This made her sound so humble and pitiful, which made Lin Yi feel a little sorry for her...

Chapter 553 Forced relationships are never sweet

With the departure of all parties, the crisis has temporarily passed, and Lin Yi and Lingyi finally have a rare opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk.

But as they talked, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Lin Yi had his reasons for targeting Zero One and Zero Zero before. Having learned from past mistakes, how could he not be cautious?

He has been lenient enough with both Zero and Zero-One.

After gaining overwhelming strength, he did not kill them decisively. Although Zero Zero and Zero One have the characteristic of having two immortal souls, Lin Yi could have treated them just like he treated Ah Qi if he were ruthless.

Unkillable?

Okay, then be my perpetual motion machine.

But Lin Yi didn't.

He always felt a sense of pity for Zero One and Zero Zero.

Even madmen don't have to face the death penalty for murder. Lin Yi also considered that Qianhuan Guiji's mental state wasn't quite right at the time, so he didn't go any further.

However, if we don't kill her, fine, but can we just leave her by our side without any precautions?

Lin Yi himself was not afraid, but even his wives working together were no match for Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

How could he feel at ease?

Therefore, being wary of her is a last resort.

This is Lin Yi's stance.

From Qianhuan Guiji's perspective, being constantly suspected is indeed uncomfortable.

Then, realizing that all of this was his own fault, he felt he had no way to appeal.

Otherwise, Zero One wouldn't have pitifully begged Lin Yi to stop treating Zero Zero that way.

It's likely that she knew the crux of the problem; it's just that fate played a cruel trick on her.

In fact, she was thinking that if she could tell Lin Yi everything that the Goddess of Mount Tai had said, perhaps the situation would be different.

But she was also somewhat unwilling.

She wanted to resolve those barriers with Lin Yi before telling him that she was his only truly lawfully wedded wife, rather than forcing him to accept her based on that status.

Moreover, the Goddess of Mount Tai had warned that some things should not be passed on to more than six ears.

Lin Yi sighed inwardly and said, "There's no need to dwell on who was right and who was wrong about the past."

Now that I have the ability to protect myself, I naturally no longer fear you.

Besides, after this experience, we can now trust and rely on each other.

Upon hearing this, Zero One couldn't help but smile slightly.

See, sister, it has to be me!

Although the decision to come to the underworld to find Lin Yi was a joint decision, wasn't it all thanks to her that her relationship with Lin Yi developed so rapidly during this time?

I played a huge role in this!

Since trust can be established, past grudges are naturally resolved, and things will definitely...

"However, there are some things I feel I need to make clear."

"?"

Zero One was slightly puzzled and had a bad feeling.

"what's up?"

"I know Lingling's feelings for me, but I am not the Lingyi she is obsessed with. The real Lingyi is you. She just temporarily transferred her obsession with you to me."

Even after her rebirth, I don't know why she still harbors some obsession with me. This obsession isn't love, and I hope you can persuade her to wake up to reality.

Zero One: "..."

I can't persuade her; she's almost out of her mind right now.

That's not some obsession, it's our predestined relationship from past lives!

Zero One was starting to lose his composure and wanted nothing more than to pounce on Lin Yi and beat him up.

But she held back, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "What if I told you that it was love?"

Although Zero One was very unhappy that her younger sister had fallen in love with her husband, she had already accepted it when she heard the story, so why should she accept it now?

Besides, it's better to keep the good stuff within the family; your own sisters are always a thousand times better than some vixen from outside.

Seeing that Lingyi was serious, Lin Yi knew she wasn't joking.

If Lingling's problem stems solely from obsession, it's actually quite easy to resolve. Once the obsession is clearly understood, it will naturally dissipate.

However, if you've truly fallen in love, letting go will inevitably involve a period of heartbreak and despair.

Lin Yi couldn't bear to hurt her, but after thinking it over, he still felt it would be better to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ling Yi.

Dragging it out won't do her any good either.

"If it is truly love, then I can only apologize."

"What do you mean by this? Isn't Lingling beautiful?"

"She is beautiful, but I am not one to judge people by their appearance."

My wives are all good-looking, but does that mean that anyone who is good-looking can become my wife?

This logic is flawed!
