Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Yao Xixue held the drop of soul blood on her fingertip as if holding a fragile piece of glass. The crystal-clear blood bead was slightly hot in her palm, reflecting a reddening tinge in her eyes.

"Brother Lin, are you really going to let me go?"

Yao Xixue suddenly approached, and the rising aura around her abruptly subsided, transforming into a soft, boneless mist that swirled around Lin Che's wrist.

"I don't want this drop of soul blood. We've shared decades of love and support. Do you think you can just sever ties like that?"

Outside the window, a fierce wind whipped up sand and gravel that lashed against the windowpane, while inside, the candlelight flickered.

Lin Che looked at Yao Xixue's slightly angry eyes and brows, and vaguely saw the cold-faced female cultivator from their first meeting.

At this moment, Yao Xixue's eyes were red, and she no longer possessed any of the majesty of a peerless expert.

"You should have gone back to Blood Star. Your people are there, your..."

"My mission?"

Yao Xixue interrupted with a cold laugh, and with a wave of her hand, the leftover food on the table instantly turned into dust.
"If my mission is to kill without mercy, then I don't want this mission!"

Yao Xixue suddenly grabbed Lin Che's collar, hot tears falling onto the back of his hand, her eyes reddening, but she said: "Why do you think I've been so reluctant to break through all these years? It's just because I wanted to spend more time with you!"

Yao Xixue let go of her hand, took a few steps back and fell onto the couch, her hair disheveled but still stubbornly tilting her head back.

"Since you say you'll give me my freedom, I won't let you have your way. On the day you undergo your tribulation, I'll stand guard under the lightning and see what you can do to me!"

Before she finished speaking, a blood-red mist rose around Yao Xixue, and she disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the empty room.

Looking in the direction Yao Xixue left, Lin Che felt helpless, but as usual, he continued to sit in his chair, reading a book and drinking wine.

.........

For the next two years, the battle between Fire Demon County and Heavenly Demon County was extremely fierce, while mortals were responsible for carrying the corpses.

Encountering any demon soldiers who are not completely dead during this period is extremely dangerous, and there is even a possibility of being killed outright.

This kind of thing has happened many times before, and each time many mortals die tragically at the hands of demon soldiers, without even the ability to resist.

Yao Xixue quickly arrived at the military camp of Tianyao County, and looked around for any powerful figures in Tianyao County.

In the military camp, Lin Ye, now a centurion, looked coldly at the soldiers in front of him and arranged for them to train continuously, showing no trace of his childlike innocence from back then.

Yao Xixue looked at Ye'er in front of her, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes. She had never expected that her son would turn out like this.

Lin Ye, with one hand behind his back, lashed the soldier in front of him with his whip and said angrily, "If you don't work hard now, you will pay the price with your lives when you get to the battlefield."

These demon soldiers dared not speak out against their anger and could only continue to train hard. Clearly, they had suffered a lot at Lin Ye's hands.

Just then, Wang Lin, dressed in a white robe, appeared and looked at Yao Xixue, who was hidden in the clouds.

As the leader, Wang Lin's cultivation had reached the pinnacle realm, so he was able to sense Yao Xixue's aura.

Wang Lin could sense that Yao Xixue's gaze was fixed on Lin Ye, and that Lin Ye also carried Yao Xixue's aura, which meant that the child was very likely related to her.

Lin Ye bowed respectfully towards Wang Lin's position, saying, "Your subordinate Lin Ye greets Commander Wang."

Wang Lin glanced at Lin Ye and asked, "Lin Ye, give me your hand." Lin Ye was a little confused, but still obediently handed it over.

With a flick of his finger, Wang Lin realized that the centurion in front of him was formed from a lotus root. Only Senior Brother Lin Che could probably create such an ability.

Lin Ye was naturally unaware of his situation and still thought he was Lin Che and Yao Xixue's biological son.

"Let's continue training."

Wang Lin withdrew his right hand, and then his body instantly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Yao Xixue: "Fellow Daoist, you have come here for Centurion Lin Ye, right?"

Yao Xixue glanced at Wang Lin, who had already reached the Peak Realm, and said indifferently, "I didn't expect you to break through to the Peak Realm. It seems that what Brother Lin gave you back then helped you break through."

"Brother Lin?"

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes, looking Yao Xixue up and down, then said with a smile, "So that's how it is. It seems this is the life of you mortals."

Wang Lin deeply understood the implications of becoming a mortal, and naturally comprehended that it required him to completely transform into a mortal and not to yearn for the world of cultivation.

Yao Xixue glanced at Wang Lin and said indifferently, "This is my son Lin Ye. You have to protect him from now on, or I'll never forgive you."

"Even if someone with a lotus root body reaches the pinnacle in this lifetime, they still cannot break through the Yin Void Realm. Don't you know that?"

"How is that possible?" Yao Xixue immediately turned around and looked at Wang Lin in front of her, not understanding what this meant.

Lin Che's brother had never told him about this.

A wisp of green light flew out from Wang Lin's sleeve, outlining the illusory image of Lin Ye's meridians in mid-air. Among those meridians that shimmered with a white luster, wisps of gray-black aura were clearly wrapped around them.

"This is a constraint left over from the body tempering process. Although the lotus root body can avoid the three calamities and nine tribulations, it also locks the path to advancement."

Wang Lin lightly tapped his fingertip, and the gray energy in the illusory image suddenly expanded, squeezing and twisting the meridians.

"Once you break through to the Yin Void Realm, these restrictions will backfire and grind your soul into dust."

Yao Xixue's blood-red skirt fluttered without wind, and an eerie crimson gleamed in her eyes: "You're lying to me! Brother Lin would never harm Ye'er!"

Before she finished speaking, Yao Xixue's blood mist condensed into chains, aiming straight for Wang Lin's throat.

Wang Lin dodged to the side, a golden talisman appearing in his palm, instantly shattering the blood chain into specks of red light.

"I think your senior brother should tell him to stop cultivating. You should know about this, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Xixue instinctively stiffened, staring at Wang Lin with a solemn expression in her eyes.

She naturally knew that back at Qingshan Lake, Brother Lin had already said that Ye'er should not be allowed to cultivate.

They probably already knew that the lotus root's body simply couldn't withstand the impact of too much energy.
At that moment, Yao Xixue staggered back two steps, looked at Lin Ye's position, and tears streamed down her face.

Wang Lin said softly, "That's good. After all, you gave him life, and he was even able to develop his own intelligence. It seems that Senior Brother Lin Che treats him very well."

It's virtually impossible for an ordinary lotus root to develop sentience, and the fact that Lin Ye possesses his own sentience already indicates that Lin Che was secretly helping him all along. (End of Chapter)
