I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Even if I come back early, Lingyi won't wake up.

Let her sleep a little longer!

Looking at her sleeping face, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel guilty.

He had to admit that Bixia still held a place in his heart.

Especially after learning that Bixia had not forgotten him, he missed her even more.

But seeing Lingyi's sleeping face, Lin Yi became much more awake.

Regardless of what he thinks, he is now Lingyi's husband, and there is basically no possibility for him and Bixia to get back together.

"Despite deep affection, our fate was too shallow."

Lin Yi rarely acts pretentious, but today he really did.

He didn't stay in the bedroom for long, and as if he were about to slip away, he wandered around to clear his head.

Upon entering the garden, they found Lin Erni practicing her martial arts.

After a period of recuperation, Erni's health has improved significantly.

Lin Yi also began to teach her some stance training, intending to help her solidify her foundation first.

Erni, however, was very interested in swordsmanship. Perhaps it was because she thought Lin Yi looked cool using a sword, and she wanted to learn as well.

Lin Yi then taught her some basic sword techniques.

Right now, she's practicing her skills, and she looks very serious and diligent.

Lin Yi liked this kind of good apprentice, who was serious and hardworking. Even a clumsy bird can fly.

Besides, Erni is very smart.

Lin Yi intended to pass on all his swordsmanship knowledge to her, which could be considered teaching according to her aptitude. Erni liked swordsmanship, so she should learn it.

Lin Yi has a wide range of knowledge, but he does have some insights into swords.

Especially after fighting the giant serpent that day, he gained a deeper understanding of the essence of swordsmanship.

Swords are ordinary objects; they become weapons of violence because of people.

Therefore, the foundation of Kendo is actually people; strength or weakness lies in a person's beliefs.

His belief that day was the key element in defeating the giant serpent.

"It seems there is no swordsmanship that uses mental strength and belief as the core of power. I guess I'm starting my own school now?"

What name should we choose?

Chapter 663 New Year

Time flies, life is peaceful and serene, and March has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's New Year's Eve again.

After Lin Yi got married, the political situation in the Shang Dynasty became much more stable, and Lin Yi began to focus on improving his own strength.

As for the imperial court, he promoted several trustworthy and loyal officials and then temporarily left them to their own devices.

If he continues his reforms, he can naturally and quickly advance the establishment of a centralized state; he already has the capability to do so.

But Lin Yi knew very well who his opponent was.

Otherwise, if the war machine of the Shang Dynasty were to be activated, it would be enough to flatten the entire continent.

North of Mohe and west of Kunlun, Lin Yi could go wherever he wanted.

Unfortunately, with gods here, no matter how hard one tries to develop a human dynasty, there will eventually be a bottleneck.

When a dynasty is at its peak, it is not afraid of the gods and immortals of the upper realm, but they will first ruin its fortune before launching a war.

However, the human dynasty, protected only by fortune, has no means of retaliating, so Lin Yi must become stronger.

Lin Yi has been very busy these past few months.

During the day, he teaches his disciples, and sometimes he takes a nap. At night, he always puts Lingyi to sleep first, and then goes around slaying demons and monsters.

Nowadays, the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty has become a forbidden land for demons, and Lin Yi can only hunt in more distant places.

Fortunately, after his strength improved, his speed also increased significantly, so it didn't matter if the hunting range expanded a little. However, without the support of the Jingye Division's intelligence system, he would have to find the demons and monsters on his own.

Fortunately, he has keen senses; he can detect traces of demons with the slightest movement of his nose. In the past few months, Lin Yi's cultivation has increased by tens of thousands of years.

Although it is Lunar New Year's Eve, Lin Yi did not give himself a day off.

As was customary, he first spent some time with Lingyi, and only after she was tired and fell asleep did he slip out of the palace.

Tonight, his target is the monster from the north.

However, as he headed north, his sword involuntarily shifted slightly eastward.

Tonight is New Year's Eve again.

As Lin Yi looked at the gradually familiar outline of Mount Tai, he couldn't help but recall the days when he set off fireworks at the foot of Mount Tai.

After he learned that Bixia had not forgotten him, he never came to Mount Tai again.

When he was slaying demons, he would consciously walk around Mount Tai, for fear of being reminded of the past.

But today, on New Year's Eve, he couldn't help but come here.

He hasn't made fireworks for Bixia in a long time. He now spends more time improving his own strength and doesn't spend his days trying to make Lingyi happy like he did before their marriage.

The Eastern King and the Great Serpent put too much pressure on him, greatly stimulating his fear of insufficient firepower.

Under such pressure, he simply had no time to think about his personal feelings.

But tonight, late at night, he was unusually emotional.

"Since we're already here, let's set off some fireworks before we leave!"

Lin Yi arrived at the foot of Mount Tai and took out some fireworks from his cloud bag that he hadn't given to Bixia before.

After being lit, one after another, the fiery birds flew into the sky, creating a spectacular sight.

In the Taishan Temple, the dignified and beautiful woman looked out the window and saw this scene, a wicked smile creeping onto her lips.

"He set off those fireworks, didn't he? That's why you're so excited all of a sudden."

The Demon Lord of No Form said to Bixia.

She sensed Bixia's emotional fluctuations and naturally guessed the reason.

After taking over Bixia's body, the Demon Lord of No Form did not immediately cause trouble. Instead, he disguised himself as Bixia and went to work at the Taishan Temple every day.

She was an extremely skilled imposter; even when the Eastern Heavenly Emperor came in person, he did not notice anything unusual about his daughter.

This demon lord is also very steady.

She could have caused trouble everywhere, but she didn't. Instead, she hid inside Bixia's body and quietly observed and learned about the world.

Moreover, Bixia's willpower is actually stronger than the Demon Lord imagined.

If Bixia hadn't been so heartbroken and dejected back then, she wouldn't have been able to take advantage of her.

The Demon Lord dared not do anything too extreme, lest he provoke Bixia.

The power of the human heart is the strongest weapon, and the Demon Lord is well aware of this.

Bixia is far weaker than her, but if she unleashes a strong enough will, she might not be able to usurp her place.

So she did nothing but read and study, all to lull Bixia into a false sense of security, so that she could finally take Bixia down in one fell swoop once she was absolutely certain of success.

During this period, Bixia did not show any emotional fluctuations, as if she had accepted her fate of being out of control.

Until now.

The Demon Lord quickly guessed the reason.

She couldn't help but chuckle to herself. Love is indeed the most beautiful thing in the world, but it has always been a sharp blade that can cause great harm.

And this is precisely her opportunity.

"It's really strange that he came to Mount Tai to set off fireworks on New Year's Eve. Lingyi isn't here anymore."

The Demon Lord of No Form intentionally guided Bixia's thoughts, believing that only when she was moved and had feelings for him would there be a weakness he could exploit.

Bixia was unaware of her conspiracy, but she knew that this demon lord was no benevolent person.

You can't believe a single word she says.

That's what reason tells you, but emotionally, Bixia couldn't help but continue thinking along those lines.

The person who set off the fireworks was Lin Yi. The Demon Lord, with his authority over Mount Tai, confirmed that it was indeed him.

So why did he come?

The answer to this question made her heart race.

Lingyi is not on Mount Tai, so for whom do the fireworks bloom?

Was it for her?

Bixia was both hopeful and felt it was impossible.

Lin Yi has already forgotten about her, so why would he come here specifically to set off fireworks?

The Demon Lord, however, was laughing his head off.

She was in turmoil; her heart was in turmoil!

The more chaotic Bixia's mind became, the easier it was for her to devour this goddess.

This was truly a gift from heaven to her, the Demon Lord. She was incredibly lucky to have encountered a goddess with an extremely firm will and Daoist heart, and she had just happened to seize her weakness.

She couldn't bear to eat such a delicious meal in one bite.

Is it possible that he hasn't forgotten you?

The Demon Lord started to deceive, and even Bixia's resolve began to waver.

Could it be that Lin Yi really has some means to counteract the Forgetfulness Potion?

If he truly hadn't forgotten her, then when he married Lingyi, did he no longer love her?

For a moment, Bixia was in a state of utter confusion.
