Lin Yi had no choice but to bow and say, "Thank you very much this time."

"Why are you thanking me? I did it to save my friend. You should be thanking me for your chivalrous act and for playing along!"

Lin Yi: "..."

He knew that the vixen already knew.

The look in her eyes when she snatched Bixia away said a lot.

Saying this on purpose now is clearly sarcastic and insinuating.

Lin Yi wasn't sure what kind of tricks this fox spirit had up her sleeve, but the fact remained that the fox spirit had helped him, so he was being extra patient.

"We both know the significance of this matter."

I truly thank you.

"Since you're sincere, you'd better offer some real benefits, not just say thank you."

"..."

The vixen was being too direct.

Lin Yi didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Whatever you want, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Alright, I only have one condition."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Please speak."

You must fall in love with me.

The fox spirit spoke very seriously, but Lin Yi was stunned on the spot.

Lin Yi had already heard this request when he first met Yan Qingqiu.

The other party agreed to an alliance between the fox clan and the human clan, but Lin Yi wanted to pursue her.

Lin Yi naturally refused this condition.

He dared not provoke a vixen, and since he already had someone in his heart, he had no desire for a political marriage.

After a year or two, Yan Qingqiu stopped bothering him, and the two had little contact with each other.

I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect Yan Qingqiu to still be so greedy.

"You should know that I am already married."

"I know, so what? Does that mean you'll only ever love one person in your life?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Obviously not, at least he has two people in his heart at the same time right now.

One was his wife, Lingyi, and the other was a stranger, Bixia.

"Men are prone to falling for others; besides, I, a fox spirit, am absolutely stunning. How could you not like me?"

Lin Yi: "..."

There's no way to respond to that.

Why are you so determined to make me fall in love with you?

"This is a secret that can't be told. All you need to do is fall in love with me."

If you behave yourself, I might not necessarily kill you with my first sword strike after I pass through my tribulation.

Yan Qingqiu muttered to himself, then saw Lin Yi shake his head and say, "I can't make you a promise."

Whether he loves or not is not something he can decide for himself.

Yan Qingqiu's face fell.

She felt she had been gentle enough with Lin Yi. These days, men often had multiple wives and concubines. While the fox clan valued faithful love, they weren't entirely opposed to human culture.

Given this, she had already given Lin Yi a lot of face by not asking him to divorce his wife or break ties with her. Despite such generous terms, he still refused.

Am I really that unpopular with you?

"Since that's the case, you don't need to remember my kindness. If we meet again in the future, just pretend you don't know me!"

"Eh..."

Lin Yi wanted to explain further, but Yan Qingqiu said coldly, "You are an emperor of the mortal realm, and you have your own path to follow. Don't always get entangled with gods and monsters. This is my final advice to you."

With that, she picked up Bixia, used a teleportation technique, and disappeared from Lin Yi's sight.

Even when Lin Yi reached out Er Kang's hand, he couldn't stop her, and could only helplessly shrug.

I only said I couldn't agree, I didn't say I couldn't leave it to fate!

well!

Lin Yi felt that he was sometimes too upright. Although he had become quite ruthless after being the king for so many years, he would sometimes inexplicably stick to his bottom line.

Why didn't he just agree? Whether he loves her or not, it's all up to him.

"Perhaps she's upset that I still don't trust her!"

Lin Yi's speculation is not entirely unrelated to the truth, but it has absolutely no connection to it.

After a busy night, I returned to the world of the living from the underworld, and the sky was already beginning to lighten.

In just one night, Bixia was rescued, so all the hard work tonight was worthwhile.

only……

His crisis has only just begun.

The war between the celestial realm and the mortal world has gradually come to the forefront.

Lin Yi knew that the Heavenly Court would not tolerate his killing of so many mountain gods and local deities and the subsequent distribution of their authority.

Originally, the two realms maintained a basic peace, and the friction between them only occurred in the shadows.

Lin Yi has now usurped the Heavenly Court's personnel authority, which is tantamount to treason. The Immortal Realm will absolutely not tolerate this, and there will definitely be a strong counterattack.

In addition to covert retaliation, overt punishments will also be imposed.

The Shang Dynasty is likely to face many more disasters in the future.

All he can do is try to become stronger.

Before dawn, let's go slay demons and monsters!

Meanwhile, Yan Qingqiu brought Bixia back to the Taishan Temple and used the Reincarnation Pearl to calm her mind. After about half an hour, Bixia finally broke free of her mental prison and regained her freedom.

She had seen everything that was happening in the outside world, so the first thing she did after waking up was to thank Yan Qingqiu.

If it weren't for Yan Qingqiu's strong support, she doesn't know how long she would have been trapped.

Although her will was becoming stronger and the demon was finding it increasingly difficult to suppress her, it was impossible to determine who won or lost until the final verdict was reached.

Fortunately, the foreign aid was helpful, and Bixia's thank you was sincere.

However, when she wanted to say more, Yan Qingqiu stopped her.

"I failed to recruit a suitable divine messenger during this trip to the underworld. You will have to take care of the affairs of Mount Tai yourself from now on. I will be going into seclusion soon and will not be able to come and help you often."

Bixia immediately understood that Yan Qingqiu did not want to discuss this matter in the Taishan Temple, so she nodded and said, "After I have dealt with the Taishan affairs, I will go to Qingqiu to visit my sister."

"That's fine too."

Yan Qingqiu patted Bixia on the shoulder, conveying a lot in a single glance.

But Yan Qingqiu's gaze was too complex for Bixia to fully decipher.

Both of them knew this wasn't the place to talk, so after a few brief pleasantries, Yan Qingqiu took his leave and went back.

But on the way to Qingqiu, she felt very unhappy and had a feeling of being suffocated.

No, she couldn't rest easy without confronting Lin Yi.

Lin Yi claimed to have discerning eyes that could distinguish demons and monsters. Perfect timing! She also possesses unparalleled illusion skills. Why not test whether her illusion skills are more powerful or Lin Yi's eyes are more effective?

With that thought in mind, Yan Qingqiu changed direction and headed towards the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty.

With the token given to her by Lin Yi, she could enter and leave the royal city without fear of the suppression of the nation's destiny.

Lin Yi went out to slay demons and monsters, so much so that when Yan Qingqiu infiltrated the palace, he had not yet returned.

Realizing this, Yan Qingqiu had a flash of inspiration and came up with another wicked idea.

She transformed herself into Lin Yi's appearance and wandered around the palace, quickly finding the Queen's bedroom.

Inside the palace, Linglin and Lingyi were sleeping in each other's arms.

Yan Qingqiu came over, looked at this beautiful scene, and smiled even more wickedly.

"Lin Yi, if I help you win over your aunt, you'll have to thank me!"

Linglin suddenly woke up from her sleep.

She quickly noticed there was another person in the room, and when she looked over at Lin Yi, she realized it was him.

Ling Lin was dumbfounded. It wasn't even fully light yet, what was Lin Yi doing here?

She couldn't help but feel shy, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

How shameful it was that Lin Yi had seen her sleeping face.

"Brother-in-law, you..."

"Shh, don't wake your sister. Let's go outside to talk."

Ling Lin: "!!!?"

Chapter 676 What a Sin!

When Ling Lin saw "Lin Yi" take her hand, she was completely stunned.

Men and women should not touch each other; how could he be so rude!

But Linglin didn't dare to struggle. Her heart was in her throat, afraid that Lingyi would wake up at this moment, and then she really wouldn't be able to explain it to her sister.

And just like that, Yan Qingqiu easily led her away.
