I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"So you don't like her personality?"

After thinking it over, Lin Yi realized there was nothing he disliked.

After he realized that Lingling's personality wasn't actually that bad, at least she hadn't gone crazy.

He shook his head again.

Zero One couldn't help but retort angrily, "Since you like her looks and her personality, what is there that you don't like?"

"Maybe... I just don't feel anything!"

Lin Yi knew that what he was about to say would be hurtful, but he didn't want to keep the other person hanging.

Besides, he's a walking trouble.

His wives all chose to be with him, and he reciprocated, so naturally they would live and die together.

But Qianhuan Guiji, he made no promises to her and could give her nothing, so why drag her to her death?

Perhaps Qianhuan Guiji herself was willing, but Lin Yi couldn't say for sure.

Is he sentimental or heartless?

What does this mean?

When Zero One heard the words "I have no feeling," it was like a bolt from the blue.

She actually understood, but she just didn't want to accept it.

They've been through so much together, and their relationship has eased over time. Whether it was a misunderstanding or the truth, the past is the past.

Lin Yi neither hated her nor resented her; his wariness was merely a result of his cautious nature.

Now, they can even sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk.

But Lin Yi told her that he felt nothing.

In other words, he's willing to be friends with them, but he doesn't love them.

Seeing that Zero One was unwilling to accept it, Lin Yi could only sigh and make his point clearer.

"My heart is only so big; it holds a few women, and it holds the whole world."

My shoulders are only so big; they bear the hopes of my loved ones and the heavy responsibility of this world.

So there's no room for anyone else in my heart anymore, and I probably won't be able to fall in love with anyone again.

Rather than drag you down this path, I hope you can let go of this relationship and seek a higher, more profound path.

"you……"

Lingyi's eyes stung a little. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, and blood slowly seeped into her fingers, but she didn't even notice.

The tearing sensation in her chest made her unable to feel any physical pain.

But she held back, letting tears slide down her cheeks, and gritted her teeth as she asked, "And what about them? Do you have feelings for them all?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Dong'er was the first person I met; she was stingy yet interesting. Qu Jing is my master; she always had the world in her heart and was upright and incorruptible. Bai Lianxian is a bit crazy, but also adorably so. Jiang Linglong is domineering yet gentle, and Su Xian'er is seemingly foolish but actually wise..."

"Enough, stop talking. Don't I have any redeeming qualities?"

Lingyi disagreed, and this question also stumped Lin Yi. After a moment's thought, he realized that Qianhuan Guiji certainly had many endearing qualities.

But for some reason, he felt pity and tenderness for the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, but no other feelings.

So much so that he didn't know how to answer that question.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Of course you have many good points too."

"I just won't let you fall in love with me, right?"

Zero One doesn't pretend anymore; they probably aren't in the mood to put on an act anymore.

Lin Yi didn't want to give her hope only to disappoint her again, but seeing her sad made him feel very uncomfortable.

He remained silent and did not answer the question.

But silence itself is also an answer.

After a long while, Lin Yi finally said, "Let's go back to the human world! Although this place is much safer now, it's best not to stay any longer."

Zero One didn't move.

Lin Yi then sat down and silently kept her company.

He brought this all upon himself!

He wasn't an irresponsible person after all. Otherwise, Qianhuan Guiji was a beauty, and he was a man with strong desires. Whether he liked her or not, taking her into his room would have been Qianhuan Guiji's own choice.

However, Lin Yi had seen some of Ling's memories from before her death and knew that she was King Zhou's sister-in-law.

There is now a lot of evidence pointing to him being the reincarnation of King Zhou. Would he be able to harm his sister-in-law?

The guilt is too intense.

Moreover, he truly did not develop feelings for Qianhuan Guiji. If he were to drag her down with him simply because of desire, Lin Yi would not be able to get over that hurdle in his heart.

He hadn't expected her to be so heartbroken, and Lin Yi didn't know how to comfort her.

He's the one who made her cry. If you coax her back to tears, then all your previous promises were for nothing.

Lin Yi was also very troubled, so he could only stay quietly with her.

About a day had passed. There was no change between day and night in the Exile Abyss, but Lin Yi felt that a long time had passed.

"Go, go back to the human world."

Lingyi suddenly spoke, and Lin Yi's spirits lifted.

"I'm relieved now," he said, standing up. "Let's go!"

He used his divine power to envelop Zero-One, but Zero-One pushed back a step and broke free of his protection.

"what happened?"

"Go back."

"What about you?"

Zero One shook his head and said, "I am a ghost, and this is where I belong."

She had been crying all day, and her eyes were red, but her gaze was unusually firm. Lin Yi couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking.

I always felt that she was planning something big.

But Lin Yi didn't understand what she wanted to do, and he didn't dare leave her alone in the underworld.

Give me a reason, otherwise I won't feel comfortable leaving you here alone.

"Why should I give you a reason? I'm clearly a woman you despise, so why should you care about me? Just go your own way. Anyway, weren't your words a way of saying goodbye to me?"

I won't feel heartache, and I won't beg you to stay by my side!

Zero One stared at Lin Yi with an exceptionally fierce look in his eyes.

That bastard actually let her cry for so long and didn't even come to comfort her!

She'll remember this grudge!

Just wait. You treat me like this today, but when you find out who I am, I'll make you know what true suffering is!

She's determined to get revenge!

This matter must not be left like this!

Lingyi is a person with a strong personality. If it were Lingling, she might really hide somewhere and cry secretly, but she won't.

"I don't mean to break up with you, I'm just advising you not to waste your feelings on me..."

"Laughable! Would I? Only Lingling likes you. If it weren't for her, I'd beat you up!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Are you trying to tell me that Lingling was the one crying all along?

Lin Yi seemed to have discovered something incredible. Could it be that all along, it was Zero One who was in charge?

Where did Lingling go?

Lin Yi discovered the secret but dared not expose it for fear of enraging Ling Yi, so he could only say, "Anyway, I didn't mean to leave you in the underworld."

"Yes, you didn't lose it. I wanted to keep it myself. Are you relieved now?"

"Go back with me."

"No, why should I listen to you? Who are you? My husband?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Brain pain.

The Thousand Illusion Demon Princess's personality changes so quickly that it's impossible to figure out what's wrong with her.

She used to be so gentle and charming, but now she's become a willful little troublemaker.

What will it take for you to come with me?

“I only listen to my husband, not you.”

Lin Yi: "..."

This is definitely not zero.

"Let Lingling come out and speak."

"What, you think I'm too tough to deal with and you want to bully Lingling? If you like bullying honest girls so much, only a fool would fall in love with you. It's just that some people are blind."

Lin Yi: "..."

Lingyi harbored some resentment, but Lin Yi tolerated it.

"This isn't the place to throw tantrums. Once we get to the human world, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

"Does that mean you'll abandon me once I'm in the human world?"

"Rather than this, I'd rather die here. Maybe then you'll remember me, and you'll start to feel something."
