I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

If the Queen Mother of the West doesn't make a move, but he strikes first with deadly force, Zero One might still have a reason to plead for the Queen Mother of the West.

He couldn't be sure what Zero One and Zero Zero's feelings were for the Queen Mother of the West. Now that Zero One could break his Heart Sword Technique, this had become his biggest weakness.

In addition, he also needed to consider Zero One's feelings, which is why he decided to give them a chance.

After a long separation, the Queen Mother of the West thought she would have a lot to say when she was reunited with her daughter, but at this moment she realized that everything was understood without words.

Everything she wanted to say was contained in that one hug.

After the embrace, she transformed back into the cold and stern Queen Mother of the West.

"You are Ling Lin, right?"

Dong Wanggong seized the opportunity to interject, otherwise he didn't know if he would have had another chance to speak with them.

The couple had been in sync for many years, and he knew her plans from the slightest gesture from the Queen Mother of the West.

Although he didn't know why the Queen Mother of the West had changed like this, he didn't have time to ask and instead took the time to talk to his daughter.

Lingling was a little confused as to how he recognized her, but she still nodded.

The Queen Mother of the West then noticed the change in her; just now it was Lingyi, but now it was Linglin. There could only be one explanation.

"Are you now in a symbiotic relationship?"

The Queen Mother of the West was shocked; she didn't understand, but she was deeply moved.

She finally understood why she couldn't find any trace of her two daughters, no matter how hard she tried.

It turns out they've merged into one, essentially forming a completely new soul—how could anyone possibly find that!

Lingling didn't want many people to know this secret, but seeing the Queen Mother of the West's confident look, she knew that lying was useless, so she simply nodded and admitted it.

The Queen Mother of the West also recognized that the one who looked more composed was Ling Lin, and that was the one she had just been holding.

"Could you ask her to come out for a moment?"

Zero Zero: "..."

She sensed the Queen Mother of the West's emotions and felt a strange displeasure, but she had no reason to refuse, so she simply relinquished control of her body.

Upon seeing the timid Lingyi appear, the Queen Mother of the West quickly understood what was going on.

She used to discipline Lingyi a lot, so Lingyi was quite afraid of her when she saw her.

Normal children, after being disciplined, will know not to make mistakes again, or they will become lawless and disobedient.

Only Lingyi was still afraid, and she made quite a few mistakes.

If you make a mistake this time, you'll do it again next time.

I don't know whether to call her cowardly or brave.

The Queen Mother of the West hugged her again, this time for a little longer than before.

When she let go of Zero One, it was her second change of expression.

"Please grant the imperial decree."

Dongwanggong: "..."

He didn't want to invite her, but the Queen Mother of the West hugged each of the two children once, while he only said a few words, let alone hugged them.

Is that all?

Not giving me a chance to say more?

The Eastern King Duke wanted to stop her, but the Western Queen Mother's eyes were resolute.

Left with no other choice, he had to agree.

He took out the first decree, unfolded it, and beams of divine light descended.

This is an unsealed imperial edict; its effect is to extract the suppressed immortal bones.

Zero Zero and Zero One sensed their own immortal bones, which is why they rushed over here.

This first decree had no hidden traps, but once the second decree was issued, the main event began...

Chapter 607 It Cracked

The first decree pardoned the crimes, and the second decree conferred divine titles.

The Great Celestial Venerable's public demeanor was impeccable, showing the two saints the utmost respect.

But everyone here is an old fox, and they all know the scheming involved.

Originally, the Queen Mother of the West also accepted this, but people's thoughts can change, and so can the gods.

The more determined she was to resist, the more earnestly the Queen Mother of the West carried out her decrees.

Before she could even develop a deep emotional connection with Lingling and Lingyi, she began reading the second decree.

Lingling and Lingyi were stunned upon hearing the decree.

Although they did not participate in the war with Lin Yi, they knew who Lin Yi was fighting.

But now, this decree is forcing them to join Lin Yi's opposing camp.

This is impossible!

The two seemingly high and mighty divine positions held no appeal for them whatsoever, and Zero One decisively refused, saying, "We do not accept this conferment."

The Queen Mother of the West's expression grew even colder, and her voice became devoid of any emotion.

"Do you know what it means to refuse the imperial decree? The Great Heavenly Venerable has shown mercy and released your immortal bones. If you do not know how to atone for your sins and perform meritorious service, then the decree of pardon and mercy will not count. Do you understand?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West seemed to be angry again, Zero One was also a little scared.

This was a fear etched deep in her soul, but this time she didn't choose to let Lingling come over to withstand the pressure; instead, she made the decision herself.

"If it doesn't count, it doesn't count. It's just a skeleton; we don't need it anyway!"

Zero One could actually feel that his bones were underneath, right beneath this farmland.

But so what?

Can bones be more important than a husband?

Even without the immortal bones, whether she lives as a mortal or a ghost, she still has Lin Yi's love. She can't possibly betray Lin Yi for the sake of the immortal bones.

If they truly prioritized profit, they could have easily avoided the path of losing their immortal bones.

"Have you really thought this through?"

"That's right!"

Zero One showed unprecedented toughness.

Looking at the stubborn Zero One, the Queen Mother of the West felt as if time had turned back.

They argued like this back then, and Zero One made the same choice.

Time passed, and Zero One lost her memory, but her choices remained unchanged.

She hadn't even sensed such a firm resolve back then, and had been presumptuously making plans for the two sisters.

Later, she got involved with Ling Lin, which can be considered retribution.

Now, she has come to terms with it.

"Since you are ungrateful and disregard the kindness of the Great Celestial Venerable, don't blame the Heavenly Laws for being strict and the Heavenly Rules for being merciless."

I will return to the Celestial Realm and report to the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Although the seal here has been broken, don't even think about stealing the immortal bones. Just wait for the Great Celestial Venerable to issue a decree of punishment!

"I would never steal anything!"

Zero One didn't understand the subtext of the Queen Mother of the West's words and thought that the Queen Mother of the West was insulting her, so she immediately got angry.

The Queen Mother of the West was also helpless; her foolish daughter was beyond saving.

Hopefully, there are some smart people present!

"It's best if you're aware of this. Let's go!"

To avoid any unforeseen complications, she dared not linger in front of Zero One. If the Great Celestial Venerable were to issue an order for her to execute him immediately without having to report back to the Celestial Realm, they would be in a very passive position.

This departure can be described as very decisive.

The Eastern King already knew her plan and soon followed her.

The two saints vanished in a rainbow of light, disappearing from Zero One's sight in no time.

Zero One couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

When the Queen Mother of the West hugged her just now, she felt very warm and comfortable, but then her expression changed, catching her off guard.

Moreover, knowing that the two people were their parents, yet not being able to say more than a few words to them, naturally left them with some regret.

Of course, they didn't regret their decision, so they didn't try to persuade them to stay.

Sad as I am, my stance remains unwavering.

Lin Yi had been observing from the shadows, his heart filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

This Queen Mother of the West...did she take fake medicine?

Something feels off.

Lin Yi was still uneasy and wanted to eliminate them completely, but considering the Queen Mother of the West's behavior, he felt that it would be inappropriate to kill them arbitrarily.

Fortunately, this time when the two saints transformed into rainbows and flew away, they did not have the kind of escape technique that could completely block detection, so Lin Yi's Heavenly Eye could keep an eye on them at all times.

Perhaps they did it on purpose?

"What happened just now? How did you get injured all of a sudden?"

At this point, the Eastern King Duke inquired about the changes the Western Queen Mother had encountered.

The Queen Mother of the West immediately fabricated a very believable lie.

"That little girl is quite capable; she seems to have a powerful background. I almost fell victim to her scheme."

She concealed Lin Yi's existence, only saying that he was a little girl.
