I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi slightly altered the ending for Mr. Sang and Mr. Liu, since the two brothers eventually turned against each other, which was really unlucky for these two newly sworn brothers.

Lin Yi then lied and claimed that he had killed both monsters, and that the two monsters had died together, their remains transforming into these two intertwined branches, thus symbolizing the deep affection between the two brothers.

Xiao Se had no idea that Lin Yi would lie through his teeth. When Lin Yi told him the story of the two tree spirits who stayed together through thick and thin and went to the Yellow Springs together, he was so moved that his eyes were shining. He had to hold back his tears several times before he could hold them back.

"It's a pity that they were a pair of evil demons. Such a touching brotherly bond is truly heartbreaking."

Xiao Se said very seriously, "I will cherish this thing. I hope that our brotherhood can be like that of the two demons, Sang Liu and I, which cannot be broken by weapons or burned by fire."

Lin Yi: "..."

Forget it, let's not reveal the truth. We need to find a time to get rid of Mr. Liu as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease.

"By the way, this conjoined branch is just the raw material. We can find a master craftsman to carve it into something more beautiful. As it is now, it's not convenient to carry around."

Speaking of this, Xiao Se said confidently, "Why bother finding another weapon-refining master? Just leave it to me!"

"You know how to craft weapons?"

"Wait for me for three days."

Xiao Se confidently took his share from Lin Yi's hand and left in a hurry. Lin Yi chuckled to himself, thinking, "So this is how warm he is after the ice melts!"

Lin Yi carefully put the blood jade close to his body. After thinking about it, he realized he had nothing to do today, so he might as well go out of the city and deliver the pillow as well.

I was going to deliver it before, but I had some other ideas about cultivation, so I didn't go. I had something to do yesterday, so I'll go today and take a look at the willow trees in Qinghe Village.

Just as they stepped out of the Jingye Division gate, they encountered Wang Jinxuan, who had rushed over excitedly.

"Lin Yi, you've come at the perfect time! I was just about to look for you!"

"Um, Miss Wang, what can I do for you?"

Lin Yi had a feeling that the chuunibyou girl coming to his door couldn't be anything good, and he was starting to think about running away.

Wang Jinxuan said with a smile, "This is a good thing. You've helped me so much before, and I've been thinking of repaying you properly! It just so happens that the head of Lushan Mountain is hosting a Double Ninth Festival gathering, inviting many famous scholars to discuss philosophy. I was thinking of taking you there to have a look, so you can make more friends!"

She knew Lin Yi was a master, but she didn't know exactly how skilled he was. Perhaps the sermon by the Lord of Lushan Mountain would also be beneficial to him?

In short, she came to ask if Lin Yi wanted to go, and if he didn't want to go, it wouldn't matter if she made a wasted trip; at least she made her presence known to Lin Yi.

“Talking about philosophy…that sounds interesting.”

"Since you're interested, keep the invitation!"

Wang Jinxuan then took out an envelope with the words "Invitation" written on it.

"With this invitation, you can bring one more person in. If you lose it, you can come to the prefect's mansion to find me, and we'll go together."

She practically said she wanted to go with Lin Yi.

In the past few days, Wang Qian has tried to lecture her many times, saying things like girls must be reserved, but she won't listen!

If he really tries to be reserved, wouldn't someone else snatch away such a handsome and mysterious Lin Yi?

No, he already has a wife.

Given how dire the situation is, if they don't take the initiative, what story will they have to tell each other?

She had taken some of what Wang Qian said to heart, so she maintained a certain level of composure and didn't directly ask Lin Yi to take her along.

Thank you.

Wang Jinxuan said with a sweet laugh, "Why be so polite between us? By the way, where are you going? Is there anything fun to do?"

"I have to go out of town on some business."

"Is it fun?"

Wang Jinxuan's eyes lit up, while Lin Yi's scalp tingled. He quickly said, "How could official business be fun? It shouldn't involve fighting with anyone."

"Hmph, I know you're just afraid I'll go out with you."

Wang Jinxuan saw through Lin Yi's thoughts at a glance, but she didn't pester him. She just complained to him, "It's impossible for me to go out of the city with you. My older brother has been keeping an eye on me lately. Humph, I'm not like my second brother who would do anything reckless!"

Lin Yi pretended not to hear her complaints, but Wang Jinxuan, being a bit of a gossip, leaned close to Lin Yi and said, "I'll tell you a secret, my second brother has recently hooked up with another slut outside, and he's even secretly keeping her on the side. I have a feeling that woman isn't a good person. Why don't we go and find out what she's up to?"

"Uh... You can handle this yourself, it's not appropriate for me."

He usually only strikes deadly, without probing the depths of the situation.

"What if I can't win if I go alone? Will you come with me?"

The girl tried her best to charm him, but Lin Yi wasn't buying it.

"You can ask your older brother to go."

"But my older brother is probably busy. You don't know, he was furious when you embarrassed him the other day! I bet he's plotting something against you. You'd better be careful. Although my brother isn't all that bad, you don't want to be caught off guard."

Lin Yi: "..."

I don't know what to say, but I really feel sorry for your two older brothers...

Chapter 104 Daily Feeding of Little Ginger Corpse

Wang Jinxuan showed no awareness of betraying her two older brothers; she seemed to thrive on chaos.

Because I love eating melons, but there are no melons to eat, I have to create my own.

"Speaking of which, my second brother's new love looks a bit like the person who chased you before. It was too dark that day, so I didn't see clearly, but I just felt that they looked a bit like them."

"really?"

Having said all that, Lin Yi could no longer stand idly by.

"Of course it's true, I wouldn't lie to you."

Wang Jinxuan looked at Lin Yi with her big, watery eyes and said quite seriously, "I won't lose your trust over something so trivial. Although I'm a bit mischievous, I'm still quite trustworthy most of the time, don't you think?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Thinking back on it carefully, it does seem to be true.

Although she may seem like a spoiled and willful young lady, none of the things she does actually have serious consequences; at most, she just causes trouble for her family.

But... why does Lin Yi still think she's incredibly absurd?

so amazing.

Lin Yi almost complained, but he managed to hold back.

Since this matter is related to that woman, Lin Yi couldn't ignore it, so he simply agreed, "Then let's meet at the Jingye Division tonight and go investigate together."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away."

Seemingly afraid that Lin Yi would regret it, Wang Jinxuan ran away like a gust of wind after saying those words.

This girl is truly insane.

"When you make a lot of friends, you're bound to encounter one or two who aren't normal. You'll get used to it."

Lin Yi muttered to himself, subconsciously counting his friends, only to be surprised to find that he didn't have many friends; it seemed like a normal person couldn't even take care of one...

Okay, that's not important.

Once outside the city, Lin Yi headed straight for the Crystal Palace, first to visit his zombie friends, and then to check out Qinghe Village.

Lin Yi didn't expect to find Mr. Liu's true form in Qinghe Village now. Given his cautious nature, he had probably already run away, and even the information Mr. Sang knew might not be accurate.

Would someone like Mr. Liu reveal his fatal weakness to others?

Instead of wasting time traveling, why not spend some time chatting with friends?

Lin Yi was already very familiar with finding the Crystal Palace, but Jiang Linglong did not expect Lin Yi to come during the day.

She thought Lin Yi would come to see her every day, but one day passed, then two, and Lin Yi never came.

Jiang Linglong couldn't help but feel anxious again, wondering if Lin Yi had made other friends and no longer wanted to come to her place.

Or perhaps they encountered some trouble and didn't have time to come.

In the long course of her life, Jiang Linglong experienced the pain of unrequited love for the first time, a pain that tormented her even more than her bloodlust.

Thankfully, Lin Yi finally arrived.

Upon hearing the commotion, she came out from the Dragon King's Palace to greet him. All her resentment vanished when she saw Lin Yi, leaving only a faint smile and a gentle "You've come."

Seeing her like this, Lin Yi suddenly had a strange feeling that Jiang Linglong was like a little pet he kept in his Crystal Palace. When he left, the little pet would eagerly wait for him to come back next time.

Of course, Jiang Linglong is no little pet. Her cultivation level is the highest Lin Yi has ever seen. He hasn't seen anyone with a higher level than her yet.

"I wanted to come see you sooner, but I've been too busy lately."

Lin Yi felt as if he had returned home, and as he walked toward the Dragon King's Palace, he told Jiang Linglong about the things that had happened to him these past few days.

Jiang Linglong listened silently as Lin Yi recounted how he slew the fox demon, became a disciple, and formed a sworn brotherhood with someone. Although these were minor matters, she found them quite interesting as Lin Yi told them, and her eyes shone with excitement.

Lin Yi was telling her a story, and she looked at Lin Yi.

Life is peaceful and serene; I only hope that time can flow by like this.

But Lin Yi's story had to be told eventually. After finishing the story of the sworn brotherhood, Lin Yi estimated that it was about time, so he said, "Speaking of which, it's time for you to suck my blood."

This is the important business we need to do today. We agreed to do it once every five days, but what if we don't have time for the next two days? Wouldn't that leave Jiang Linglong hungry?

Feeding her in advance is just right.

"Then... let's begin!"

Jiang Linglong was a little shy. She wanted to say that she didn't need to drink blood in her conscious state, but when she looked at Lin Yi, she swallowed her words.

She slowly approached Lin Yi and lowered her head to kiss him.

After a long silence, their lips parted, and she asked tenderly, "Does it hurt?"

"You get used to it, it's not so bad, it even has a slightly tingly and numb feeling."

Kissing the female zombie felt really good; after all, although she was nominally a zombie, her body was warm.

Perhaps because he had recently had his blood drained by Jiang Linglong again, he was still full of energy.

However, Lin Yi's willpower was strong enough that he didn't act recklessly.

People in ancient times valued proper social standing. Currently, the two were merely friends, and the blood-feeding was a last resort. Although their relationship was already ambiguous, bringing it up would only make things difficult for them. If he took advantage of their close relationship and made advances towards Jiang Linglong, it would be against propriety.

Furthermore, Jiang Linglong possesses profound cultivation and has been able to suppress her bloodlust for thousands of years, demonstrating her unwavering resolve.
