I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This plot is like the company chairman discovering that the cleaning lady has quit, and then forcibly bringing her back...

Of course, the story's claim that the Weaver Girl was the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother of the West may be correct.

Since the Queen Mother of the West did indeed adopt many goddaughters and nurture many female immortals, it is only right that she is respectfully addressed as the Queen Mother.

Getting back to the point, the two of them, one writing books and the other embroidering, looked remarkably warm and harmonious.

The fox spirit, however, couldn't stand it any longer.

Despite being a family of three, she felt like an outsider.

So she also came to the study and took over Lingyi's job of grinding ink.

Lingyi let her be and didn't argue with her.

Lin Yi pretended nothing had happened, and only after things calmed down did he realize that this kind of blessing of having multiple wives was quite enjoyable.

Finally, Lin Yi accepted the fact that he was a womanizer.

If there are two, there will be three.

With three already, there might be four more in the future.

My apologies, my apologies.

As night deepened, Lin Yi coaxed Ling Yi to sleep, but Ling Yi started coughing as soon as she lay down. Naturally, Lin Yi lost interest in spending time with Yan Qingqiu and ended up taking care of Ling Yi all night.

She coughed for more than half an hour before falling asleep, and the medicine didn't have a significant effect.

Lin Yi knew that her illness was incurable, simply because the root cause did not lie with her.

Lin Yi was certain that he had protected her very well, so how could she have been infected by the wind?

Now she's inexplicably caught a cold, and you know, he didn't let Lingyi go out at all for a whole day.

With him around, there's no way he could catch a cold.

Clearly, a mysterious force is influencing Lingyi. They specifically chose the first day of the lunar month to attack her, which is clearly a provocation against Lin Yi.

Just like Lingyi's lifespan, Lin Yi was certain that someone was up to no good behind the scenes, but a year had passed and he hadn't made any significant moves.

Perhaps those gods thought he had become complacent after achieving some victories.

On the surface, that seems to be the case. In this year, the Sword Immortal's disguised identity did not cause any major incidents, nor did it investigate the immortals and gods in the lower realm. It seems that the Great Shang Dynasty has indeed become quiet, or perhaps it is busy fighting against natural disasters.

This gave those deities the courage to strike at the beginning of the year.

Lin Yi knew he couldn't wait any longer.

That night, after taking good care of Lingyi, Lin Yi went to Yan Qingqiu's palace.

Yan Qingqiu was not asleep yet, but was copying the book written by Lin Yi.

During the day, Lin Yi would write, and she would secretly watch from the side.

The more I looked at him, the more I felt that Lin Yi had something going on in his head.

She thought this guy only had some talent in cultivation, but she didn't expect that he knew everything about governing a country, arithmetic, farming, and business!

The fox spirit secretly learned this skill and passed it on to her descendants.

This is how the fox clan uses their wish-fulfilling pearl; it is through the accumulation of generations of fox clans that they have achieved their current wealth.

Lin Yi saw this and didn't mind Yan Qingqiu secretly learning it. He didn't plan to keep the things he had compiled. If possible, he hoped that more people could learn from them.

"If you want it, I'll send you a set once I've finished writing and printing it."

Yan Qingqiu was displeased with these words.

It's like she wasted her time. Don't you know the joy of secretly learning?

But Lin Yi had already said so much, and she couldn't argue with him, so she simply changed the subject and said, "Why did you come here? Aren't you going to keep your beloved concubine company?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "She's asleep."

"Oh? Then why did you come to see me? Your beloved concubine is sick, and you still have the mood to be intimate with me?"

Actually, the vixen did have some thoughts; she was just using words to provoke Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said, "I came here to ask you for a favor."

"cut."

Yan Qingqiu uttered a dissatisfied sound, then looked impatient and said, "I must have owed you something in my past life. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

"Take my place as king."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqiu was dumbfounded.

Are you crazy or am I crazy?

Chapter 694 Coercion

Yan Qingqiu could hardly believe that Lin Yi would say something so outrageous.

Are you not quite lucid?

Lin Yi shook his head.

"I am perfectly sober."

"Then do you know who I am?"

Yan Qingqiu wanted to say that she was a demon.

Is it not idiotic to appoint a demon as the king of the human race?

She even wondered if Lin Yi was testing her.

However, Lin Yi's answer surprised her.

"You are my woman, and you are my family."

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

This simple and unadorned statement has an extraordinary impact.

Yan Qingqiu was stunned for a long time before saying, "You really know how to sweet-talk people."

"Don't forget I am a demon. You humans often say that those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts. If you let me take charge of the human race, aren't you afraid I'll turn your Shang Kingdom into chaos?"

"If I can't even trust the person I share my bed with, then what's the point of struggling?"

Having made his decision, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't hesitate.

Lingyi doesn't have much time left.

In fact, Lin Yi understood the hints from the giant snake and Yan Qingqiu, but he was not confident in taking action and could only endure it for the time being.

But now, Lingyi's sudden illness is a signal that is forcing Lin Yi to make changes.

Yan Qingqiu was moved by Lin Yi's sincerity. Unable to think of a way to refuse, she remained silent for a moment before finally asking, "Have you thought it through?"

"Correct."

"Then go ahead."

She didn't ask Lin Yi what he was going to do, but since Lin Yi had already come to hand over the throne to her, what else was there to ask?

"I have three more things to tell you."

Yan Qingqiu nodded. She never made a fuss when dealing with serious matters.

But Lin Yi's three explanations made her feel that Lin Yi was just joking.

"Don't tie people to iron pillars and burn them, don't build buildings that are too tall, and don't dig out other people's hearts."

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

I felt insulted.

Am I some cruel and heartless monster?

Although she is the queen of all demons, she never kills indiscriminately and rarely causes harm to the human world.

That bastard, he says he trusts her, but he's actually on guard against her!

"Hmph, you said no, but I'm going to do it anyway!"

Yan Qingqiu said angrily.

Of course, it's just talk.

She herself had come to understand the way of destiny, and when Lin Yi said those three points, she seemed to see her own destiny in a daze.

The secrets of heaven must not be revealed; Lin Yi has broken a taboo!

But after observing Lin Yi carefully, Yan Qingqiu found that he was in normal condition and was relieved.

Leaking information will be punished, but it depends on the extent of the leak.

Perhaps these points aren't very important!

"I'll leave the future of this great business to you."

Lin Yi adopted a posture of entrusting his son to someone, and only then did Yan Qingqiu suddenly become worried.

"Don't say that. I can only help you manage for a while. If you don't come back, I won't clean up your mess."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "If the mess goes wrong, you don't need to worry about it. Just make sure you survive."

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

She thought Lin Yi should be a benevolent monarch, but his tone sounded like he was indifferent to the Shang Kingdom.

Never mind, she decided not to think about it anymore.

As Lin Yi was speaking, he had already flown away from the palace.

Once outside the palace, he had changed his appearance.

There was one place he hadn't visited on this trip.

In Xining City, Jiang Linglong is still cultivating alone tonight.
