I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

However, misfortune never comes singly. Perhaps due to the release of his vital essence, his head became somewhat dizzy.

The human world is just ahead, within reach, yet it feels like an eternity away...

Lin Yi's vision went black, and he felt all the strength drain from his body. He felt the pain of suffocation, like a drowning person struggling helplessly in the water, making a final struggle.

Lin Yi felt his body sinking continuously, and he gradually lost his sense of the outside world.

At that moment, a hand formed from starlight grabbed him.

All the pain left Lin Yi far behind.

Lin Yi opened his eyes and was met with a pair of gentle eyes.

"You didn't come looking for me, so I came back."

Chapter 722 Side Story: The Road to Counterattack

Outside Chaoge City, the once-abandoned Nuwa Temple has been renovated and is now bustling with worshippers and crowds.

The new temple keeper was exceptionally handsome, attracting many noble ladies from high-ranking families to come and visit.

Even the current emperor, the only female emperor in history, once issued a decree to the world, desiring this person as her husband.

As a result, this Nuwa Temple became the focus of everyone's discussion.

People lined up to pray for blessings, and the queue had already reached the foot of the mountain.

In the crowd, a pretty young girl dressed as a maid complained to the beautiful woman next to her: "Look at you, I told you to take the initiative, I even got you drunk and climbed into my bed, but you still didn't get anything."

Now, the throne is gone, the man is gone, and all that's left is me, a poor little maid!

These words were truly astonishing, and the Zhou people immediately turned to look at them, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Xiao Se quickly covered Wu Yun's mouth; if she continued talking, he would die of shock.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This servant girl has a brain injury, which is why I've come to ask Goddess Nuwa for protection. Don't believe what she says."

This explanation finally put the people around him at ease.

Indeed, this girl is clearly a woman, how could she possibly lose the throne? Just this one sentence is enough to prove that the little girl is talking nonsense.

After calming everyone down, Xiao Se used magic to isolate the inside from the outside, and angrily said to Wu Yun, "Are you afraid I haven't embarrassed myself enough?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid that you'll secretly cry under your blanket again at night."

I just don't understand. Lin Yi is so magnanimous and understanding. He knows why you ignored him before, but he's not angry with you.

You insist on avoiding people, and when they don't come looking for you, you secretly wipe away your tears.

Whose fault is this?

Xiao Se: "..."

Those who can say the most hurtful things are often the closest people to us.

Xiao Se's mentality collapsed.

"I'm going back."

"No! You must go to the Nuwa Temple today!"

Xiao Se: "..."

"Go and go!"

"Don't cause any trouble once you're there!"

"I'm not being difficult!"

"Then get up!"

"Climb what?"

"Climb into bed!"

"Screw you!"

"..."

The master and servant bickered and teased each other, and gradually approached the Nuwa Temple on the mountain.

The closer they got, the more nervous Xiao Se became.

I'm about to meet Lin Yi. What should I say as the first thing?

Yes, that's right, I came here to pray for blessings, not specifically to find Lin Yi.

"Yes, I'm here to pray for blessings, not to climb into someone's bed."

Xiao Se was tense and started muttering to himself.

"I'm here to pray for blessings, not to climb into someone's bed."

Upon entering the Nuwa Temple, she grew increasingly nervous, when she heard a gentle voice ask, "What brings you here, believer?"

"I'm here to climb into your bed."

"???"

What I fear most is the sudden silence.

The Nuwa Temple is a sacred place, yet it does not shy away from these kinds of things.

In the eyes of the gods, the human ethics of mortals are also part of the natural order, and there is no need to avoid them or offend them.

Of course, this applies to ordinary people.

Blasphemy is a separate matter.

Even the dark clouds were stunned by what Xiao Se said.

I never would have guessed, my lady, that you were so brave.

I only asked you to do it quietly, but you said it out loud in public.

powerful!

Xiao Se's face flushed red, and he was on the verge of tears.

The girl opposite him paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"If Uncle Xiao wants to climb into bed, please go to the backyard."

"Huh?"

Xiao Se then noticed that the person in charge of receiving guests today was not Lin Yi, but Shang Chang'er.

She was recognized; how embarrassing.

What's even more embarrassing is that Shang Chang'er told her to go to the backyard, which is...

Isn't this appropriate?

"I……"

Seeing that Xiao Se was about to back out again, Wu Yun quickly covered her mouth and said, "Let's go to the back room now."

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Se away, and Shang Chang'er reminded her, "It's still daytime, let my master rest a little longer, don't rush."

Xiao Se: "..."

That's even more embarrassing.

She wanted to become an immortal as soon as possible and live on a different planet.

He couldn't go to the Celestial Realm either. Xiao Cao had become the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and Lin Yi's other women had all been promoted to the ranks of immortals. It would be even more shameful for him to go there.

Even the mortal realm won't do; Xiao Yue is the Empress.

The underworld is even worse, as the goddess of Mount Tai, the ruler of the underworld, is also an acquaintance.

Xiao Se was filled with despair; she realized that even becoming a nun was not an option.

She had some conflicts with Gu Tinglan of the Buddhist sect.

Gu Tinglan's state of mind was not yet complete, and she had not yet returned to her rightful place, yet she had already been regarded as Buddha's successor.

You can't be a Buddha, and you can't be a demon either.

There is only one Ah Qi in the Demon Realm now, a female slave tamed by Lin Yi, whose true nature is unknown.

In short, at this moment, Xiao Se realized that in all the vastness of the world, there seemed to be no place for her to belong.

I feel terrible and want to cry.

"What's going on here?"

The gloomy and chaotic emotions instantly receded like the tide, and upon hearing this voice, she instantly regained her senses.

Lin Yi has arrived.

"Long time no see, Xiao Se."

Lin Yi said with a smile, as if there was no barrier between them.

In reality, there isn't one.

Those little squabbles were just like bickering and arguing between family members; there's no need to take them too seriously.

Even if you were angry at the time, when you look back on it later, you won't feel disheartened or regretful. Why keep holding on to it?

Xiao Se, on the other hand, is too shy and can't quite get over it.

"Uh, long time no see."

Xiao Se's mood suddenly became tense.

She began to worry about whether her outfit looked good today and whether Lin Yi would like it.

She had prepared this carefully.

"It's rare to see you in a dress, that's great. You won't have to dress as a man anymore, congratulations."

"Thank you."
