I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

After Lin Yi's cultivation improved, he was able to repair this situation.

Hua Nianrou is different.

She's like a perfect tire; no matter how you scan it, you can't see a single hole, but after a while, it will leak air.

Lin Yi kept staring at Hua Nianrou, watching her energy gradually decline, but he didn't know where it was leaking away.

This is also what puzzled Lin Yi.

Now that Ah Qi has approached Hua Nianrou again, it naturally makes Lin Yi think of things.

Is Hua Nianrou's decline related to the demon race?

Chapter 598 Hua Nianrou's Dream

Hua Nianrou hasn't been sleeping well lately, and her face looks visibly haggard.

Her health wasn't very good to begin with, and although Lin Yi secretly helped her take care of herself, she couldn't withstand this kind of abuse.

Among Xiao Yue's team, Hua Nianrou is the most dedicated.

Perhaps because she knew she was physically weak, she became even more determined and didn't want to be a burden to everyone.

Hua Nianrou is mainly responsible for intelligence work, while also taking on the responsibility of monitoring people's livelihood.

Xiao Yue wanted to govern the country with benevolence and virtue, and there were indeed loyal and upright people among her subordinates, but definitely not everyone was a good person.

Corruption and abuse of power may also exist within Xiao Yue's camp, which necessitates strong oversight.

Hua Nianrou does this kind of work. It's not difficult, but it's tedious and complicated, requiring someone to carefully audit and calculate.

Thanks to Hua Nianrou's efforts, she severely punished several typical cases, and the officialdom under Xiao Yue's rule was also rectified, truly achieving fairness and justice.

This was actually very ahead of its time, but Xiao Yue really did it and it did gain support.

The masses have discerning eyes; they are not fools. Under Xiao Yue's rule, they have food to eat and clothes to wear, and they will not be bullied for no reason.

People can personally feel this change, and naturally they will support her.

Xiao Yue is a well-known hero, but those who make silent sacrifices, like Hua Nianrou, are unknown to the public.

Of course, Hua Nianrou did not seek fame; she simply wanted to do as much as she could to benefit the country and its people.

As for her own health, she had a somewhat passive attitude towards giving up.

She actually felt it was better that she was sickly, because that way, Lin Yi would come to see her.

Lin Yi also realized that Hua Nianrou, who seemed obedient, was actually a hidden yandere, and quite terrifying.

The main reason why Hua Nianrou looks so haggard is a well that appears every time she falls asleep recently.

She used to dream about it often, but only once a year.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her this year, but she dreams about it every day.

Every time she woke up from such a dream, she felt exhausted. Moreover, the dreams she had these past few days were particularly bizarre. She had a vague feeling that something was crawling out of that terrifying well.

Moreover, every day, that thing gets closer and closer to the well opening...

Hua Nianrou had a vague premonition that when that thing crawled out, it would be the time of her death.

She wasn't particularly afraid of this day coming, just a little disappointed.

I wish I could see Lin Yi one more time.

In the study, Hua Nianrou stretched after finishing a day's work.

Seeing this, Ah Qi also got excited.

You can finally go to sleep!

Hua Nianrou did not fall asleep, and A Qi dared not use magic to hypnotize her, lest something unexpected happen.

Because of her agreement with Lin Yi, she couldn't attack Hua Nianrou. Otherwise, she could have directly seized her True Demon Blood, which would have solved the problem.

Unfortunately, due to numerous constraints, she could only wait.

The closer they got to their destination, the more anxious Ah Qi became.

But at this moment, Hua Nianrou sat down again.

She took out another piece of paper, dipped the brush in ink, and seemed to want to write something more.

Ah Qi was immediately distraught.

Aren't you going to sleep yet?

Young people, staying up late is bad for your health!

Lin Yi watched Ah Qi's frantic state from the shadows and found it all quite amusing.

This Demon Ancestor is too weak.

Hua Nianrou was completely unaware that a room full of people were secretly observing her. She picked up her pen and wrote: "To Young Master Lin, it has been several months since we last met. I have not heard from you for a long time and I often think of you in my heart."

Now, feeling that my time is drawing to a close and my life is short, I leave this letter to you to express my heartfelt feelings…

Lin Yi didn't expect that he would happen to be there. Hua Nianrou was writing him a letter, and it was a farewell letter and a confession of love.

The letter was written with deep emotion, and Lin Yi's feelings upon reading it were quite complex.

In this life, he has ruined too many girls.

After expressing her feelings for Lin Yi, Hua Nianrou finally talked about her recent situation at the end.

The dreams I encounter every night, and the changes within those dreams.

Lin Yi then realized why Hua Nianrou felt she was going to die; the crux of the matter lay here.

Ah Qi also read the letter; she couldn't stand seeing other girls liking Lin Yi.

Are they blind?

Lin Yi appears gentle and kind on the surface, but he is actually a ruthless killer!

He kills demons without blinking an eye!

Don't be fooled by such a ruthless guy!

Ah Qi kept making comments as he watched, but when he got to the end and saw Hua Nianrou's description, Ah Qi felt that something seemed off.

The Demon Abyss, also known as the Demon Well, is a place where demonic energy gathers, and within it, the power of the demon race is nurtured.

Demons can also seek opportunities and gain power by going to the Demon Abyss, but even demons cannot stay in the Demon Abyss for too long, otherwise, the raging demonic power will overwhelm them.

The Demon Abyss in Hua Nianrou's dream exists between reality and illusion, and theoretically, no living beings should exist there.

Moreover, the abysses should not be interconnected; one can only emerge from one abyss by entering it.

Hua Nianrou shouldn't have been successfully attacked by the demons over the years, and the demons who entered the Demon Abyss couldn't possibly have survived there for so long.

This seems illogical, but it also seems that something has simply broken the limits of her understanding.

After all, she had been away from the Demon Realm for a long time and didn't know much about it now.

Ah Qi couldn't be sure what Hua Nianrou's current state was, but her plan had to proceed as scheduled.

Hua Nianrou finished writing the letter, put it away in a envelope, and then cut off a lock of her hair and stuffed it into the envelope.

Shang Chang'er hadn't completely lost her senses yet. She watched Hua Nianrou's actions and felt secretly annoyed.

Despite her frustration, she also learned something.

Those vixens outside are really cunning; they feign weakness, garner sympathy, and express deep affection all at the same time.

I wonder if her master can withstand this tactic.

If it's useful, she might want to learn it.

After finishing her letter, Hua Nianrou finally left the study and went back to sleep.

She simply washed up and went to sleep.

Hua Nianrou falls asleep very quickly, almost instantly upon touching the bed.

In her dream, just like every other day, she saw that dark and gloomy well again, as if something was about to gush out from it.

In a daze, she heard a voice that seemed to come from the depths of the underworld.

"I'm back……"

Despite the terrifying sound echoing in her mind, Hua Nianrou felt no fear whatsoever.

Her name sounds delicate, but she herself is incredibly strong.

She only regretted not being able to see herself in her dreams, otherwise she would definitely find a way to fill that void.

The creature that made the sound seemed to be very close to the well opening, about to climb out.

Hua Nianrou also looked at the well opening with curiosity, wanting to see what kind of monster it was.

The first thing that appeared was a pale hand, gripping the edge of the well and struggling to climb out.

Then, her head slowly rose, her face covered with black hair, and drops of viscous, dark red liquid dripped down onto her dark white dress.

Lin Yi was stunned when he entered the dream and witnessed this scene.

This scene made Sadako exclaim that she was an expert.

Lin Yi didn't expect that this was the thing that was bothering Hua Nianrou's dream. Considering that she hadn't caused any problems yet, Lin Yi didn't take action for the time being.

Ah Qi's purpose has not yet been exposed. Lin Yi plans to observe her actions first before giving her a surprise, hoping to make her behave herself in the future and stop having unrealistic fantasies.

At this moment, Ah Qi also saw the woman who crawled out. From her, Ah Qi sensed a very pure demonic blood aura.

That's right, the blood dripping from her head was all demonic blood.

Ah Qi was overjoyed. No wonder she sensed the true demon blood within Hua Nianrou's body. She had previously thought that Hua Nianrou was the offspring of a true demon and a human, but now it seemed there might be another explanation.

It was precisely because of the large amount of demonic blood in this Demon Abyss that Hua Nianrou naturally became tainted with some of it every time she dreamed, and over time, this gradually changed her bloodline.

This is more likely.

What surprised Ah Qi was the concentration of demonic blood here.

There are countless demonic abysses in the demon realm, but their outputs vary greatly. The lowest level contains only demonic energy.
