I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

However, the price she paid to be with him was too high, and it wasn't just a temporary price.

Lin Yi couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead.

"I won't let you regret your choice."

Lin Yi whispered softly, and Ling Yi opened her eyes and said gently, "I have never regretted it before, and I will never regret it in the future."

The two gazed at each other affectionately, and naturally, they shared a kiss.

After finishing his drink, he went back to sleep.

Lin Yi was very satisfied with his results. Despite working hard all night, he felt even more energetic.

After finishing his daily affairs, he left the city.

Since the Eastern King hadn't set a specific time yesterday, Lin Yi figured it was better to go early; at worst, he'd just have to wait a little longer.

To be honest, the area outside the city is actually quite vague. There are four city gates in the east, west, south, and north. Going out of any one of them can be considered leaving the city.

Of course, for the Eastern King, it didn't matter which city gate Lin Yi came out from; he just wanted Lin Yi to stay out of the city.

When the king of the human world resides in the capital, it is the time when the dragon dwells in the deep sea and his fortune is at its strongest.

Although he did not lose this protection after leaving the capital, it was not as secure as it was within the capital.

At this time, contacting Lin Yi would minimize the karmic entanglements one would accumulate.

They certainly had no intention of killing Lin Yi, and although Dong Wanggong really wanted to beat him up, he held back.

Not long after Lin Yi left the capital, the Eastern King Duke arrived.

He had been waiting for this moment. Upon meeting, he first threw several balls of fire at her.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was prepared and easily caught the Eastern King's Nine Yang True Fire.

It wasn't that Lin Yi's cultivation was higher than that of the Eastern King Duke, but rather that the Eastern King Duke hadn't used his full strength this time.

"You have some strength. As the King of Men, you are indeed extraordinary."

After Lin Yi received the Nine Yang True Fire, Dong Wanggong did not make any further moves. He revealed his presence and stood in front of Lin Yi, but he did not adopt an aggressive attitude.

"Greetings, father-in-law."

Lin Yi was polite, bowing with his hands clasped in greeting.

Dongwanggong refused, saying, "Lingyi is no longer our daughter, so we cannot accept this title."

Dongwanggong dared not form a karmic bond with Lin Yi, for if he accepted the title, he would face no shortage of trouble in the future.

Lin Yi wasn't annoyed; he just smiled.

"Alright, there's no need for us to test each other. I'll just say it directly."

The Eastern King Duke formed a hand seal, and a beam of red light shot into the sky, enveloping the two of them.

Lin Yi knew that this must be a spell to block out audio-visual information.

He silently pondered the profound mystery within, intending to secretly learn a trick of it.

He possessed a great many mortal magic spells, but very few magic spells at the level of immortals and gods.

His future opponents will likely all be gods, and if he cannot use magic of the same level, he probably won't be a match for those gods.

Fortunately, he was exceptionally talented and had extraordinary comprehension. He studied the spells that others had used in front of him and was able to grasp some of their essence.

While Lin Yi was secretly studying, the Eastern King also got down to business.

"Since you and Lingyi have become husband and wife, it must be your destiny, but your marriage is destined not to last long."

If you weren't an emperor on earth, I could find a way to help you cultivate and become an immortal. Unfortunately, you are destined never to become an immortal in this lifetime.

The Eastern King also expressed his regret.

A human king cannot become an immortal; this is an ironclad rule.

If it were an ordinary human king, with the abilities of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, there might be a way.

If Lin Yi can relinquish his position as the Human King, the Two Saints will naturally help him cultivate to become an immortal.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi couldn't.

He is not only a human king, but also a person who has undergone tribulations.

His fate was already sealed and could not be changed.

Thus, the Eastern King had no choice but to compromise and allow Lingyi to become Lin Yi's wife for life.

Once this life ends and Lin Yi dies, they can bring Ling Yi back.

The severed immortal bones are not impossible to move back. With the strength and status of the two saints, it wouldn't be difficult to bring Lingyi back.

When the time comes, go and apologize to the Great Celestial Venerable properly, and the matter will naturally be over.

That's how the two saints planned it.

Clearly, they had temporarily abandoned Lingyi in the mortal realm, but they had not given up on her and were still trying to find a way to bring her back.

Lin Yi naturally agreed with this point.

Having a way out makes him feel more at ease.

He had a general idea of ​​his own identity and what challenges he would face.

Lin Yi readily agreed, "If I cannot achieve immortality, then Lingyi will have to trouble you."

"She is our daughter, you don't need to tell me that."

The Eastern King Duke's tone was unfriendly, but Lin Yi didn't argue with him. He simply nodded and said, "Does Your Excellency have anything else to say?"

Dong Wanggong didn't speak, but simply tossed out a jade bottle, which Lin Yi caught. Only then did Dong Wanggong say, "The fact that you two are husband and wife in this life is something Lingyi fought desperately for."

In this life, I will not make things difficult for you. But before you die in this life, you must give this to Lingyi.

"This is……"

"The potion of forgetfulness".

Lin Yi: "..."

Upon hearing those three words, he thought of Bixia again.

He never wanted to forget Bixia back then, but he never expected that he would be the one to persecute others today.

He doesn't like making decisions for others, nor does he like others making decisions for him.

However, it must be said that the Eastern King's suggestion was good.

If I were to die, Lingyi would surely be sad. Rather than letting her suffer through her long life, it would be better to let her forget me and start anew.

The Eastern King's actions can be considered merciful.

At least, the time limit he gave was the time when he died.

"That's fine. If I die, she'll forget me and be happier in the days to come."

only……

Thinking that Lingyi would forget him after his death, and all the memories they had together, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Upon hearing this, Dong Wanggong couldn't help but explain, "The Water of Forgetfulness only dissolves obsessions, not washes away memories."

Don't worry, Lingyi won't forget you, but she won't be hurt by love.

The Eastern King was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Lin Yi heartbroken.

Unexpectedly, his explanation caused a thunderclap in Lin Yi's heart.

If the potion of forgetfulness doesn't cause amnesia, then why doesn't Bixia recognize him?

With Lin Yi's intelligence, he naturally knew the answer instantly.

Just as he hadn't forgotten Bixia, but pretended the potion of forgetfulness had worked.

It seems that not everyone knows the details of the effects of the potion of forgetfulness.

Perhaps, Bixia was just like him, only knowing that the potion of forgetfulness could make people forget their feelings, so she thought it meant forgetting the person, and that's why she pretended not to know him.

It's obvious that Bixia's use of the potion of forgetfulness that day was also a feint; she hadn't forgotten herself.

"No wonder..."

Lin Yi recalled seeing Bixia yesterday and felt that something seemed off about her; she seemed to be in a low mood.

But Lin Yi wasn't sure either. Looking back now, he realized that Bixia still loved him, but dared not let anyone know.

She must be heartbroken to know he got married!

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Lin Yi's somewhat dazed expression, Dong Wanggong couldn't help but be surprised.

Is this really that hard to accept?

Lin Yi snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "I was thinking about some things. Please forgive my rudeness."

Dong Wanggong shook his head. This young man was not composed enough.

"I have nothing else to say. You'd better take care of yourself! Don't let Lingyi know about what happened today."

Having said that, the Eastern King Duke transformed into flames and vanished.

After he left, Lin Yi remained where he was, his emotions still unsettled.

He knew that he already had Lingyi, and it was time to forget Bixia.

But at this moment, his mind was filled with the image of Bixia.

only……

Lin Yi ultimately did not go looking for Bixia, nor did he return to the palace.

Lingyi is simple, but she is not an unsensitive person.

If I can't calm myself down, she'll definitely know what's troubling me.

If I tell her the whole truth, she will inevitably be secretly jealous.

Lin Yi wandered around outside for a long time before returning to the palace, only to find that Ling Yi was still resting.
