I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

She snapped her fingers, and several maids came in carrying tea.

After they left, Yan Qingqiu asked, "Of those maids, how many of them were me in disguise?"

"All of them."

"You recognized it at a glance in such a short time?"

"of course not."

Lin Yi looked at Yan Qingqiu as if he were an idiot and said, "It's all about brains."

We're discussing something so important, and you won't have anyone by your side except yourself.

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

She had always been the one whose intelligence surpassed others, but now Lin Yi was looking down on her.

A hint of annoyance flashed in her beautiful fox eyes; this was a sore loser.

She raised her head haughtily, crossed her arms, and said proudly, "I'm unhappy, so you have to comfort me."

"I won't."

Repeat after me: I am an idiot.

"You're an idiot."

“Say it, you’re the smartest.”

"I'm the smartest."

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

The fist tightened.

"You're not good at comforting people, but you're very good at making them angry!"

Yan Qingqiu stopped playing the game of "you read, I read" with Lin Yi. Clearly, Lin Yi was deliberately trying to annoy her.

She made a note of this debt.

Even humans make mistakes, and even foxes stumble.

She lost today entirely because she didn't take it seriously enough; otherwise, with her intelligence, it would have been a piece of cake for her to trick Lin Yi.

I'll definitely get my revenge later!

Fox spirits hold grudges.

She glared at Lin Yi and said, "Let's get back to business. Stop acting like a naughty child."

Lin Yi was speechless. Who was being mischievous here?

This vixen is probably quite old, but she still acts like a little girl.

She appears elegant and sophisticated, exuding a mature and commanding aura, but in reality, she's like a spoiled young girl.

This contrast is actually quite endearing!

"It is now confirmed that demons have arrived in this world and are threatening Bixia's life. Our top priority is to save Bixia."

Yan Qingqiu's expression was also very solemn when he talked about this.

She and Bixia were also very good friends, and she couldn't just stand by and do nothing when her friend was in trouble.

"You mean, Bixia is still alive?"

In Lin Yi's understanding, once someone is possessed, the possessed person naturally dies.

Yan Qingqiu nodded and said, "Bixia should still be alive. She is the mountain goddess of Mount Tai. If her divine position is corrupted, the Heavenly Court will react."

She was no ordinary deity; the divine essence of high-ranking gods was preserved in the celestial realm before descending to the mortal world.

This is to prevent the gods and immortals from rebelling. Therefore, gods and immortals can descend to the mortal realm, but they cannot bring their divine status with them.

This rule remained in effect until the divine status of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was usurped.

After that, because of the example of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, other gods dared not let their divine status leave their safe zone. Of course, that's another story.

As things stand, Bixia's true spirit is safe because of the existence of her divine status, since the superior will always preserve a wisp of her true spirit within the divine status.

If the other true spirits are gone, this wisp of true spirit will awaken.

The divine essence resides far away in the celestial realm. Even if the demons could possess Bixia's body, they certainly wouldn't dare to obliterate her true spirit.

However, we must also be wary of the fact that the other party can control Bixia's true spirit.

Even if the true spirit is immortal, it does not guarantee absolute safety.

This is what's giving Yan Qingqiu a headache.

The other side has hostages and can summon the Eastern Heavenly Emperor for help.

They dared not tell the Eastern Heavenly Emperor the truth, for if the Demon Lord were truly driven to desperation, there was a high probability that he would kill Bixia in revenge.

The true spirit of immortals is extremely precious. No one would want to use that last resort unless there was absolutely no other way.

Lin Yiguang felt much more at ease knowing that Bixia was still alive. Although what he was about to do might be difficult, at least it gave him a chance.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts."

This is from the bottom of my heart.

Yan Qingqiu pouted and said, "If you really want to thank me, then try to make me happier and less likely to make me angry in the future, okay?"

Lin Yi: "..."

He doesn't want to cheat.

There was a past connection between him and Bixia, and nothing inappropriate happened between them.

But if I respond to the vixen's ambiguous advances, wouldn't that be letting Lingyi down?

Is it so hard to make me happy?

Yan Qingqiu looked at Lin Yi with considerable dissatisfaction, and Lin Yi could only say, "I'll try my best in the future."

"Hmph, it's your honor that I've taken a liking to you. Now that you're done soaking, hurry up and leave. Just looking at you makes me angry."

Yan Qingqiu felt more resentful than anything else.

She was also an absolute beauty, and she said that she was the second most beautiful woman in the world. Who would dare to surpass her and say that she was the first?

But Lin Yi was so resistant to her advances that it made it seem like she was the one throwing herself at him.

Hmph, if it weren't for the sake of achieving enlightenment in the future, who would bother with you!

Yan Qingqiu gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking, "Just wait, once I've overcome this tribulation of love, I'll kill you with my first sword strike."

There's no way around it; the first sword strike to achieve enlightenment must first slay the one you desire.

This is how you overcome a love tribulation.

Yan Qingqiu stopped arguing with herself. Seeing that Lin Yi was about to leave, she reminded him, "I'm going to visit Bixia tonight. You can decide what to do yourself."

Lin Yi naturally left Qingqiu immediately.

His injuries hadn't fully healed, but he was already able to fly home on his sword.

Upon returning to the palace, Lin Yi immediately summoned Ling Yi and asked her to write a letter to Ling Lin, instructing her to come and prepare for the sacrificial ceremony at the Nuwa Palace.

He's been quite busy lately and probably can't be sure of her safety.

Lingyi originally didn't want to trouble Linglin, but at Lin Yi's request, she had no choice but to write it this way so as not to worry Lin Yi.

Linglin, having received her sister's letter, had no reason to refuse.

Although Bixia also needs help now, in Linglin's heart, her older sister is still more important.

So she bid farewell to Bixia and went to the palace.

Lin Yi didn't tell her about the demon race; he just told her to stay with Ling Yi.

Ling Lin thought the ceremony would begin soon, but...

She's going to stay in the palace for such a long time.

Why did Lin Yi do this?

Could he be...?

Thinking of a certain possibility, Linglin's mood suddenly became very complicated.

However, Linglin was too embarrassed to leave the palace immediately, so she could only stay there until something happened.

What if Lin Yi didn't mean it that way, and she was overthinking it? Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?

As night fell, because Ling Lin had come, Lin Yi did not allow Ling Yi to serve him in bed. After making a simple disguise, he went out.

They arrived in Qingqiu and met up with Yan Qingqiu.

That must have been her intention when she left.

But Lin Yi didn't expect that at that time, Yan Qingqiu was already thinking about how to tease him.

"I have an illusion technique that can conceal one's cultivation level and change one's appearance. It is considered the best illusion technique in the world. You can learn it and dress up as a maid to accompany me to Mount Tai."

Yan Qingqiu made arrangements for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi hesitated slightly, saying, "Can't it be a man?"

"Everyone knows that this fox only likes pretty girls."

Yan Qingqiu only had maids by his side; there wasn't a single male fox.

Bringing a male companion along suddenly would definitely arouse suspicion.

"If you don't want to go, that's fine with me."

"Fine!"

Although Lin Yi really didn't want to wear women's clothes, a man can be unconcerned about trivial matters when it comes to accomplishing great things.

He decisively changed into a white dress similar to Yan Qingqiu's, tidied his hair a bit, and made his face look softer and fairer, making him look like a spirited young girl.

Yan Qingqiu was so captivated by her beauty that he couldn't resist teasing her by touching her face.

"What a pretty little girl! Let me give you a kiss."
