I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Even for ordinary people, as long as they have connections, it's not too difficult to evade patrols in the vast Star Sand City. Let alone demonic cultivators who have mastered Xuanmen techniques, if they really try to catch them, they might work themselves to death and not even catch a hair.

In the game between officials and bandits, the officials only need to hold their ground to win.

Therefore, the Pure Heaven Sect was nothing more than a minor ailment to him, posing no threat whatsoever.

What he needs to do is weave his own inescapable web, like a spider.

When there are no prey coming his way, he just lives his own little life, guarding his small plot of land, and when insects come, he devours them in one bite.

"I won't go out to grind monsters today. I'll stay home and study the Nine Talismans True Explanation!"

Lin Yi set his schedule for the first half of the night. When he returned home, he found that the house had been cleaned and the meal was ready. He Dong and Xiao Cao had both changed into new clothes.

Putting aside He Dong, who has always been quite pretty, Lin Yi took a closer look at Xiao Cao and realized that her features were extremely well-proportioned, but her shy and timid demeanor naturally carried a hint of allure.

Just changing clothes can cause such a big change?

Lin Yi was astonished, while He Dong's eyes burned with rage.

They were both wearing new clothes, so why did Lin Yi glance at her and move on, but stare at Xiao Cao for so long?

Doesn't this mean that her charm is not as great as that of the little grass?

"Does my husband think the grass is pretty?"

He Dong gritted his teeth and spoke in a gentle tone. This twisted feeling also made Lin Yi realize that something was wrong.

Is this guy jealous?

Lin Yi remained calm and instead teased, "Of course Xiao Cao is beautiful, but don't dress up too nicely in the future. If she gets kidnapped on the street, I'll be heartbroken."

A blush rose on Xiaocao's face, and she said softly, "Don't worry, Brother Xiaolin, I won't run around."

"Good girl, I know you're sensible, but girls must learn to protect themselves when they're out. Starting tonight, you'll learn some self-defense techniques from me!"

"Ah."

Xiao Cao happily responded, which made He Dong feel even worse, as if he were completely superfluous.

He sat down alone, fuming, and started shoveling rice into his mouth.

To avoid arousing Xiaocao's suspicion, she ate every day. The food she ate would not enter her stomach in the Ghost Realm, so she naturally could not taste it.

Lin Yi dared not pick up his chopsticks, for who knows how much salt He Dong had put in the dish.

Why aren't you eating?

He Dong's tone was sinister. Although Lin Yi was no longer afraid of her, he still picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth with a death-defying spirit. Surprisingly, it tasted quite good.

"My wife's cooking skills have improved a lot!"

He Dong's face darkened again, and he said coldly, "This table of dishes was all made by Xiao Cao."

"I see, the little grass is really amazing."

Lin Yi praised Xiao Cao, then ate heartily without worry.

Seeing Lin Yi enjoying his meal, Xiao Cao felt much more at ease, realizing that she had found value in being there.

He Dong, however, felt like an outsider watching the two of them enjoy their meal. Was she being superfluous?

Lin Yi vaguely sensed the faint chill emanating from the person beside him and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

This stingy girl! She said she didn't like him, but she got so jealous after he talked to Xiaocao for a few minutes. How funny!

Lin Yi pretended not to know, wanting to see just how angry this stingy guy would get.

During dinner, Lin Yi didn't say a word to He Dong. It wasn't until after dinner, when Xiao Cao suggested cleaning up the kitchen, that the two of them finally had time to be alone.

"Did Xiaocao put too much vinegar in dinner tonight?"

He Dong said sternly, "I can't taste it. Go ask Xiao Cao!"

She's still angry!

Lin Yi laughed and said, "If you couldn't taste it, why would your mouth taste so sour?"

He Dong then realized that Lin Yi was subtly mocking her, and immediately snapped, "You're the one who's full of sour words! Not only are you sour, you stink!"

Like children arguing, He Dong stood with his hands on his hips, yelling at Lin Yi, seemingly ready for a big fight.

"Don't slander me out of thin air. You haven't even tasted it, how do you know if it smells bad or not?"

Lin Yi suddenly grabbed He Dong's chin and slowly moved closer.

Since his transmigration, the biggest boss who had ever terrified him the most is now someone he can easily control. This feeling of satisfaction can only be truly appreciated by actually controlling him.

Lin Yi's tone was seductive, and his breath carried a scorching yang energy, almost touching He Dong's lips.

"Would you like a bite?"

Chapter 93 I am a ghost, devoid of emotion

He Dong never expected Lin Yi to be so bold. Although she was happy yesterday because she felt that Lin Yi was no longer afraid of her, she never thought that Lin Yi would be so presumptuous after only one day.

She didn't like Lin Yi being so afraid of her, but she couldn't let him bully her like this!

However, after being enveloped by Lin Yi's strong yang energy and having his charm spell applied, He Dong was momentarily dizzy.

Fortunately, as a ghost, she had a strong resistance to spells like enchantment, so she didn't fall in love with him. When she realized that Lin Yi had actually cast a spell on her, she was immediately filled with shame and anger.

Although she could understand that it was normal for Lin Yi to have some naughty thoughts since he liked her so much, she couldn't believe that Lin Yi would take her for a willing heart if she didn't resist!

However, before she could push Lin Yi away, Lin Yi suddenly accelerated and kissed her rosy lips. Their lips touched briefly before parting, and Lin Yi quickly let go of her.

"Oh right, Xiaocao might be scared being alone in the kitchen. I'll go check on her!"

The words were barely out of his mouth when he was gone from the room.

He Dong's feelings were very complicated. She should have been angry after being ambushed by Lin Yi, but instead, she felt a lot of joy.

"You shameless scoundrel, just wait a few more days, and I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

This time, she spoke through gritted teeth, yet with a tender and affectionate tone.

But she didn't chase after Lin Yi to teach him a lesson. Instead, she returned to her dressing mirror in her room, looked at her lips which had become paler, and comforted herself, saying, "It's just a shell after all. He didn't assault me."

Even so, the scene kept replaying in her mind, over and over again, until she almost forgot about time.

But joyful emotions, though they come quickly and intensely, will eventually subside. Human emotions are like the tide; they rise to a high point and then fall back to a low point.

Just like He Dong at this moment, who was extremely happy, suddenly became sad.

Because what Lin Yi just kissed was nothing more than a painted mask.

She uses a painted skin to maintain her human form, but the painted skin is not her.

She no longer possesses the five senses of a human. Although she can still see and hear, the way she sees and hears is actually different from that of a human.

As for touch, taste, and smell, they naturally do not exist.

Without the painted skin, she wouldn't even have a physical body, and wouldn't be able to touch Lin Yi.

"Humans and ghosts are destined to be different!"

Lin Yi had no idea how complex He Dong's feelings were; in any case, he felt incredibly excited after doing something bad.

When he went to the kitchen to help Xiaocao, he was all smiles. Xiaocao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiaolin, is something making you happy?"

"Yes, today I've finally become the master of my own destiny, a former serf!"

Little Grass looked puzzled: "Brother, were you also a serf?"

Lin Yi then toned it down a bit, not wanting to explain too much, and said perfunctorily, "I guess so!"

People, once they are no longer facing life-or-death crises, will always have some bad thoughts.

Today, having overthrown He Dong, the first mountain weighing on him, his next target will be Jiang Linglong!

Speaking of which, since they were both outcasts, Lin Yi wasn't too afraid of Jiang Linglong at first. This was probably because Jiang Linglong had already bitten him, and since she had already bitten him, there was nothing to be afraid of.

But He Dong never hurt him, which made Lin Yi anxious and worried. He was always thinking that he could only feel at ease if he could overpower her.

Another reason is that Jiang Linglong's cultivation level is too high, making her seem somewhat unattainable, so there's no need to be afraid.

So whether it's overthrown or not isn't really that important.

"Brother, you're acting strange today."

Looking at Lin Yi's smile, Xiao Cao felt inexplicably shy.

Lin Yi is usually very cheerful, and most of the time his expression is relaxed, which makes her feel comfortable. But today, she felt that he was a little mischievous.

Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

This isn't strange; this is liberating one's true nature.

Who wouldn't want to have a romance with a two-dimensional character!

After Lin Yi helped Xiao Cao tidy up the kitchen, he was supposed to go back to his room, but as he approached the room, he found himself feeling a little shy.

What if that arrogant little ghost girl gets angry and goes berserk later?

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be angry. Judging from the way she revealed her progress, she probably has feelings for him too.

But times have changed. Was I being too rude?

Lin Yi has finally come to his senses and realized that he has become a bit too complacent.

Even if He Dong really liked him, people in this era had different views. Unlike young people in later generations, who could secretly kiss someone they liked without being blamed, it was considered romantic.

He Dong probably doesn't think he's belittling her!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt a bit anxious and uncertain again.

He was a decisive man after all, and without hesitating for too long, he pushed open the door. Seeing that He Dong was still applying makeup, he walked over with a fawning smile and said in a cheeky tone, "Wife."

He Dong glanced at him and calmly asked, "What is it?"

This puzzled Lin Yi. He had rehearsed many of He Dong's reactions, such as arrogantly rebuking him or angrily criticizing him. Lin Yi was prepared to be rebuffed, but he didn't expect He Dong to act as if nothing had happened.

"Uh, it's nothing."

"Oh."

He Dong stopped looking at Lin Yi and turned to apply rouge.
