She probably really considers herself a friend. Even if there is intimate contact, in the eyes of a zombie king at this level, the physical body is probably just a shell. What's wrong with touching it?

But if I were to develop lustful thoughts, that would be a different story. She might feel disappointed in me as her friend, and that would be bad.

Considering all these concerns, Lin Yi remained a gentleman throughout, undisturbed by any temptation.

Although he felt a little flutter in his heart, seeing the guilty look in Jiang Linglong's eyes, Lin Yi's lustful desires subsided.

Instead of offering direct comfort, he took out a small gift he had prepared from his cloud bag to distract Jiang Linglong.

"This is a pillow I made from the fur of a fox spirit. I thought that if you were lying in the crystal coffin every day, having a pillow would make you more comfortable."

"This is... a gift for me?"

Jiang Linglong happily accepted the pillow, her nose twitching as she caught a faint fragrance.

"Of course, I've wrapped some calming herbs and dried flowers inside to make it smell nicer. There are also a few buttons that you can unbutton. I put a small porcelain bottle inside that contains some of my blood. If I can't come over, it can be used as a reserve."

Lin Yi's introduction made Jiang Linglong realize what thoughtfulness truly meant.

The gift itself wasn't expensive, but it was filled with Lin Yi's care and affection for her, making it a priceless treasure to her.

"Thank you, I'm very happy."

Jiang Linglong smiled sweetly, her two canine teeth making her look exceptionally cute, almost making Lin Yi forget that she was currently the only top-ranked person on the four major lists to have her real name revealed.

After all, she looked like a cute and gentle girl, seemingly harmless, and she was very obedient to him. She was simply the perfect girlfriend in Lin Yi's mind.

I really want to kidnap Little Jiang's corpse and take it home...

Lin Yi was struck by Jiang Linglong's smile, and several entrapment plans popped into his mind. Jiang Linglong, however, put the pillow into the crystal coffin, hesitated for a while, and then, blushing, took out a moon-white dress from the crystal coffin.

"This dress is for you..."

Chapter 105 I don't want Xiao Jiang to be alone in the empty house anymore.

That moon-white outfit seemed to have moonlight flowing through it.

In addition to the outfit, there were also matching headbands, hats, and shoes.

Even with the naked eye, it was clear that these things were not ordinary. Lin Yi touched them and found that the surface was smooth and quite resilient. He wondered what material they were made of.

"Why would you give me clothes out of the blue?"

Jiang Linglong blushed and did not answer, but simply said, "Why don't you try it on?"

Lin Yi didn't press the matter further. It was only right to return the favor. Since the other party had accepted the pillow he had given him and had reciprocated with a moon-white robe, he would simply wear it.

Little did he know that this moon-white dress was a formal gown, a matching pair with the bright red dress Jiang Linglong was wearing, both being wedding attire.

Therefore, when conditions permit, families will arrange a wedding ceremony in order to ensure that the deceased can live a peaceful and happy life in the afterlife.

It means that I have given you the right to choose your own marriage partner.

This reduced the trouble considerably, and everyone was happy.

If you're truly unhappy, then let it be in your dreams...

This is the most basic formal dress.

Jiang Linglong was royalty, and used the highest regulations under the emperor. She wore a phoenix purple-gold hairpin, which corresponded to a dragon-patterned snow silk headband. The gilded mask on her face corresponded to a cloud-patterned tortoiseshell. She wore brocade golden crow cloud-climbing shoes, while Lin Yi was given dark-patterned jade toad swallowing the sky boots.

However, the style of this garment was a bit different from what he was used to. Lin Yi struggled for a while but couldn't get it right. Jiang Linglong then said gently, "Let me help you!"

Lin Yi: "..."

She had such a gentle and sweet wife vibe that Lin Yi couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he let her do as she pleased. After he put on his clothes, Jiang Linglong patiently tied his belt, then put on his shoes, tied his hair up, and put on his hat.

This was the first time Lin Yi had been served like this since his transmigration, and by such a beautiful person at that. He felt like he was floating on air.

However, while serving him, Jiang Linglong also put on a mask, so that Lin Yi could not see her beautiful face, only her exceptionally bright eyes.

"I feel like this outfit is too formal..."

Lin Yi didn't know much about ancient clothing, but he had that feeling now.

Moreover, Jiang Linglong even put a hat on him.

In ancient times, people attached great importance to hats. On formal occasions, men who had already been capped had to wear their hats properly, but there were no other requirements at other times.

After all, everyone has long hair, and if you cover it up with a hat, wouldn't it be uncomfortable?

So once this hat was put on, the atmosphere became much more serious.

Jiang Linglong simply smiled and didn't offer any further explanation. She looked at Lin Yi gently and said, "If you don't like this tortoiseshell, you don't have to wear it all the time. You can take it off and put it away later. This outfit, on the other hand, can be worn regularly. It can ward off water and fire, repel external evil, stop weapons, and gather spiritual energy."

"That's amazing?"

"Of course, although this is just a formal dress, it was made by Yunyan, the most skilled weapon refiner in our Qi Kingdom. These abilities are just the most basic."

"This must be very valuable!"

"It is indeed very valuable, but I still hope you will accept it."

The value wasn't in the dress itself, but rather in its symbolic meaning. Jiang Linglong was too embarrassed to say what if Lin Yi, while caring for her, didn't reciprocate her feelings?

What if telling Lin Yi scares him and he stops coming?

Besides, she doesn't look any different now.

Therefore, I can only be happy in secret.

Lin Yi looks really good in his formal attire, and the two of them look very well-matched.

pity……

Lin Yi wasn't a pretentious person. Since he had already put it on himself, and it was a gift from Jiang Linglong, he couldn't just take it off because he thought it was too precious!

It's embarrassing to return clothes you've worn, so if you feel you've gotten a good deal, you can return them somewhere else later.

He smiled frankly and said, "I will cherish the gift you gave me. Once I put it on, I didn't want to take it off!"

"Ah."

Jiang Linglong smiled sweetly, her heart and eyes filled with Lin Yi's image. Hearing that Lin Yi liked the dress, she was naturally even happier.

Lin Yi asked again, "You just said you were from the State of Qi?"

Jiang Linglong nodded.

"Your ancestor wasn't Jiang Ziya, was he?"

Lin Yi has a fairly good grasp of historical knowledge, but there are many things in this world that defy common sense, so Lin Yi doesn't dare to make any judgments with too much certainty.

"I don't remember anything. I've forgotten many things from my life."

It was rare for Lin Yi to ask about her, and Jiang Linglong wanted to answer properly. However, she had died once before, and most of her memories from her previous life were related to herself, and those memories didn't extend very far.

For example, she remembered that her wedding dress was made by the weapon-refining master Yunyan, but she couldn't remember what Yunyan looked like or what her characteristics were. In her mind, the information ended there.

She still remembered that she was a princess of the Qi Kingdom and was cursed.

She had forgotten crucial information, such as why she was cursed and who cursed her.

However, all the memories after death were preserved, but there was not much content in the five thousand years of memories. I was suffering in pain and loneliness until now, when I finally felt warmth and joy.

Seeing the sadness in Jiang Linglong's eyes, Lin Yi quickly comforted her, "It's okay, if you don't remember, you don't remember. It's all in the past anyway."

Lin Yi still felt somewhat guilty, after all, it was he who had stirred up Jiang Linglong's emotions.

He originally planned to leave after feeding her the blood, but seeing that Jiang Linglong was a little unhappy, he naturally had to think of a way to cheer her up.

How about I tell you a story?

Lin Yi used his distraction tactic, and Jiang Linglong naturally agreed without hesitation.

"This story tells of a myth. There was once a family, a couple, who had a strange baby..."

The story went on from daytime until nightfall.

Jiang Linglong initially listened casually, but the more she listened, the more engrossed she became. Just then, Lin Yi mentioned that Nezha had killed the Dragon King's third son, and the Dragon King was leading his army to flood Chen Tang Pass. At this critical juncture, Lin Yi stopped the conversation.

"It's getting late, and I have an appointment, so I should go."

Lin Yi was very honest, but Jiang Linglong almost couldn't keep up her smile.

Her fascination with the story was secondary; after all, while the story was interesting, she didn't care that much. What she cared about was that Lin Yi had specially made up such a vivid and interesting story to tell her in order to make her happy, so she found every word Lin Yi uttered extremely pleasant to hear.

but……

Lin Yi has an appointment with someone else and is leaving.

Jealousy was brewing in her heart, and a surge of resentment was rising within her.

In the end, she only managed to say a few words: "Be careful on the road."

Jealousy is one thing, but anger is another.

"I'll come see you again when I have time."

Lin Yi looked at Jiang Linglong, feeling a little reluctant to part with her.

I wish we could turn back.

Unfortunately, Jiang Linglong is a zombie, and a zombie king at that, with a bloodthirsty impulse.

Once out of control, no one should be able to subdue a zombie king with five thousand years of cultivation. Although Lin Yi felt that she was lonely and pitiful, he dared not risk her life.

Jiang Linglong escorted Lin Yi to the entrance of the Crystal Palace before stopping. Lin Yi glanced back at her and felt that she was just like a wife seeing her husband off on a long journey. She was clearly reluctant to part with him, but she didn't say a word to stop him.

Lin Yi turned his head and finally left.

The land of gentle pleasures is a graveyard for heroes; everyone has their own life to live.

He also needs to work hard in his cultivation so that when he has the same level of cultivation as Jiang Linglong, he can confidently take her out.

At this moment, Lin Yi set his second small goal.

Inside the Crystal Palace, watching Lin Yi's departing figure, a thought kept flashing through Jiang Linglong's mind.

Lin Yi is so busy dealing with the demons and monsters that are hurting people, so he doesn't have time to spend with her. Well, as long as there are no demons and monsters near Xingsha County, he can come over every day, right...?

Chapter 106: Getting Caught in the Act of Gossip

Once Lin Yi left the Crystal Palace, he realized that his clothes were too conspicuous. Under the moonlight, they shone brightly like a small moon, making any talk of infiltration pointless.
