I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi's behavior was too outrageous; they were all worried that it would implicate their daughter.

Unfortunately, at this point, their position was awkward. It was not good not to apply for the lower realm, but it was even worse to apply. They could only be treated as invisible people.

What they found even more terrifying were the methods of the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable was fully capable of rescuing these twelve gods, but he did nothing. Even when he had the ability to storm the execution ground, he didn't send anyone to do anything.

They didn't understand before, but now they suddenly do.

The Great Celestial Venerable is exploiting the anger of the gods, who would not normally be willing to descend to the mortal realm.

Apart from those who were given patronage and those who took credit for others' work, everyone else was assigned to menial tasks.

There are the most tasks, but the fewest rewards; it's better to cultivate diligently in the immortal realm.

Now, spurred on by Lin Yi's actions, many immortals have spontaneously descended to the heavens.

Perhaps there's something deeper going on, but the two saints dared not think any further.

So be it!

While the Immortal Realm was launching a general mobilization to punish the mortal world, Lin Yi was also facing Ling Yi's punishment.

Lingyi was angry when she was bewitched by Nuwa at the Nuwa Temple, but she held back her anger.

Lately, Lin Yi has been busy with catching gods and judgments, so she has continued to hold back.

Now that many things have been done, she finally had a chance to vent her anger on Lin Yi. As a result, Lin Yi said something again.

"You want to take a concubine!?"

Lingyi was stunned.

She never expected that Lin Yi, who had always been unwilling to take a concubine, would one day want to do so.

At that moment, she felt like she had turned into a lemon, her stomach full of sourness...

Chapter 692 One Year

Lingyi felt a pang of sadness, but she quickly accepted the fact.

She knew she didn't have long to live, and it would be good if Lin Yi could find a new love soon.

but……

She's not even dead yet, and a new woman has already entered the family?

Lingyi felt wronged, but she still generously agreed to Lin Yi's request to take a concubine.

Lin Yi knew she was wronged, but there was nothing he could do.

I've already made an appointment with Yan Qingqiu, so I can't stand him up again.

Therefore, after discussion, Lin Yi announced to the world that he would marry Yan Qingqiu as his concubine.

Although a concubine is still a concubine, once she is granted the title of "concubine," her status is naturally higher.

In order to take a concubine, Lin Yi gave Yan Qingqiu a lot of face. He captured many blue and red birds, which were all spirit beasts that could be used to transport betrothal gifts or to guide the way.

Finally, under Lin Yi's training, these birds changed their formations in front of Qingqiu and uttered several love poems.

Yan Qingqiu was very satisfied with this. She wanted a grand proposal, and Lin Yi had done his best to make it happen, so she was naturally delighted.

However, others were not so calm when they heard the news.

At the Taishan Temple, Bixia, in a fit of anger, smashed all the cups in her hands.

She had thought Lin Yi was steadfast and unyielding, loving only one person, but she never expected him to take a concubine.

She even suspected that Lin Yi might have picked up something bad at the Nuwa Temple, which caused his personality to change so drastically.

Not only did he flirt with Nuwa at the Nuwa Temple, but afterwards he also asked to marry a fox spirit.

But that place is the Nuwa Temple, a place where Nuwa resides. Even if it's just a statue, it's not a place where evil spirits can approach.

This left Bixia completely baffled.

After her anger subsided, Bixia suddenly felt nauseous and almost vomited on the spot.

As a deity, to exhibit such a physical reaction left Bixia stunned.

She tensed up, carefully sensing her surroundings, and finally felt an extremely faint life fluctuation in her own abdomen.

This is a new life, beginning to sprout within her.

She knew exactly what this meant.

After so many days, she finally fulfilled Lingyi's wish.

If she doesn't get pregnant, it won't be easy for her to conceive again.

The sacrificial activities at the Nuwa Temple have ended, and Linglin no longer needs to go to the palace to protect Lingyi.

The conflict between the human world and the heavenly court became increasingly apparent, and Ling Lin could no longer afford to get too close to Ling Yi.

Even if Linglin were to go, she would no longer ask Bixia to cover for her.

She had no idea what Bixia had accomplished during her time as a substitute.

But given that Lin Yi dared to share a bed with the three of them back then, their relationship must be deeper than she imagined.

No matter what, three people together is still too much.

Linglin blushed just thinking about it. Although she was innocent, Bixia always used her face.

So, in Lin Yi's view, wouldn't she be...

Linglin felt increasingly ashamed to face Lin Yi, but thankfully everything was done and she didn't have to go.

Let's avoid each other from now on!

The two goddesses at the Taishan Temple were both distracted. When their eyes met unintentionally, they could see each other's awkwardness.

They both understood; everything was unspoken.

Lin Yi's concubine-taking ceremony went smoothly, with humans and Qingqiu forming a marriage alliance, and foxes being designated as auspicious beasts. At the same time, Lin Yi promulgated a law to protect the demon race.

Humans will no longer prohibit demons from entering or leaving human territory, humans are prohibited from discriminating against demons, and humans are prohibited from hunting or killing animals with spirits.

However, the demon race must also abide by the laws of the Great Shang Dynasty. If they commit any evil deeds, they will be subject to extremely severe punishment.

With the support of strong policies and the leadership of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, more and more monsters began to appear in the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Previously, Lin Yi had killed almost all of these monsters, big and small; some had fled, and some had died.

Some of them escaped beyond the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty, but Lin Yi chased them down and killed them abroad.

The new decree issued by Lin Yi is good news for the demon race.

Don't be fooled by their willingness to leave Da Shang; deep down, they are all unwilling.

Within the Great Shang Dynasty, there are countless famous mountains and rivers. These places are rich in spiritual energy, making them suitable for the cultivation of demons.

Once they left the Great Shang Dynasty, the land was barren. These monsters could survive, but that was all they could do.

Being able to return to Dashang is a good thing.

The human race's reaction was polarized.

Some people think that bringing the demon race under their rule is not an option.

This greatly strengthened royal power.

Another group believed that those who were not of their kind must have different intentions, so they repeatedly opposed Lin Yi's new policies.

In this part, Lin Yi decisively sent them home to retire.

Many ordinary people didn't react much; the demons who could cultivate were far more powerful than them, so it was none of their business to discriminate against them.

They were more curious than fearful.

The king dares to kill even gods, so how dare some minor demons act so recklessly?

Lin Yi's policy of opening up to the demon race was mainly for Yan Qingqiu's sake.

The marriage between the two seemed too much like a political alliance.

There's too much exchange of benefits and too much mutual reliance, but the feelings aren't entirely pure.

So much so that even after they got married, Yan Qingqiu was unwilling to have in-depth conversations with Lin Yi.

She is about to undergo a tribulation of love, and this step is probably unavoidable.

But Yan Qingqiu also had her pride. She felt that Lin Yi didn't love her; at most, he liked her a little.

She's so beautiful and has such a great personality, isn't it normal to like her?

But Lin Yi's heart was already filled with other people, and she was unwilling to have any in-depth conversations with him under these circumstances.

But she also forbade Lin Yi from spending every day with Ling Yi.

This bastard has to sleep with me.

Lin Yi: "..."

This vixen is really a handful. She lies in bed smelling wonderful every day, but won't even let me touch her face.

Lin Yi couldn't do anything about her, so he would lie down next to her every day and control his clones to travel around, accumulating cultivation while also teaching his disciples.

Erni has already left the palace to go out and gain experience. Lin Yi also felt that Lingyi's mood hadn't been very good since then.

On one hand, it was because Lin Yi flirted with Nuwa; on the other hand, it was because Lin Yi married Yan Qingqiu; and also because Erni left, leaving her with no one to keep her company.

Lin Yi wanted to invite Ling Lin to come and keep her company, but Ling Yi refused. Under the current circumstances, it was better for them to keep their distance from Ling Lin.

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout the year, disasters struck various parts of the Shang Dynasty, but they did not affect the crop harvests of the people, because Lin Yi sent people to guide the farming throughout the process.

He wasn't an agricultural expert, but his vision was far ahead of his time.

So what if the wind is unpredictable and the rain is uncoordinated?

Artificial rainmaking, artificial cloud dispersal, and artificial pollination are sufficient to guarantee a good harvest.

The imperial court established the Imperial Observatory specifically for observing the weather, and created the official position of Minister of Agriculture to teach agriculture and sericulture.
