New and dark light years

Chapter 389 Chu Rengong's Wish Half Fulfilled

The recipe was buried in the ground.

Chu Rengong wiped away tears as he filled the hole with earth.

She was terrified just now; she really thought she was going to die.

At that moment, Li Lin's gaze was as cold and emotionless as if he were looking at a dead person.

She had killed people before, and she knew very well what a person's eyes looked like before they were about to kill.

The Chu people filled the pit with soil and then moved a piece of turf on top to cover it.

Then she sat down softly on the ground and looked up at the sky.

Looking up, I saw the phantom of the Tree Fairy floating in mid-air.

Then she exclaimed in amazement, "So beautiful..."

Even women have to admit the beauty of the Tree Fairy.

“This is the true matriarch of our Li family.” Li Yanjing suddenly appeared beside Chu Rengong, and then, like her, sat down on the grass.

"Why are you trying to imitate me, a martial artist? Aren't you afraid your husband will see you being so rude?"

Li Yanjing smiled and said, "My husband wouldn't care about such a thing. Rather, he quite likes us to be more... natural."

Chu Rengong said enviously, "That's great, you can become his concubine. I guess I won't have a chance."

At this point, her face fell.

If she were in his shoes, she wouldn't want to marry a husband who almost killed her.

Li Yanjing laughed and said, "I only got the chance because I shamelessly pressed myself in."

She smiled broadly as she said this.

Chu Rengong said, "I'm shameless too, but I almost succeeded. If I could have handled that matter well, I think Langjun would think more highly of me. Then I could have shamelessly fawned over him and maybe I could have succeeded. But now... sigh."

"What are your plans?"

"I'm going to kill Zeng Hongluo." Chu Rengong's face was full of ferocity.

She hated the woman who had ruined her chance with such malice that she wanted nothing more than to tear her apart and devour her bones.

Li Yanjing laughed and said, "It's better not to go, otherwise we'll get scammed again."

"No more..." Chu Rengong said angrily, "I'll learn from my mistakes. I'm not stupid."

Li Yanjing laughed and said, "Smart people usually don't think they're smart. Instead of running around outside, you should stay here and have children for my husband."

"I wish he would stay with me, but he won't."

“That’s not necessarily true!” Li Yanjing laughed. “I almost forgot to tell you, my husband wants you to go to the hall; he’s looking for you.”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Chu Rengong suddenly jumped up and ran over.

As she approached the hall, she slowed down and adopted a ladylike demeanor.

In the hall, not only was Li Lin sitting, but Huang Qing was also there.

Meanwhile, Li Lin sat in the main seat, and Huang Qing sat to the side, looking very formal.

Chu Rengong walked over, feeling somewhat uneasy. He bowed and said, "Master, Mistress, I've arrived."

Li Lin nodded and said, "Qing'er just told me that the defenses at home are still somewhat inadequate. She said that rather than letting you leave, it would be better to have you stay and officially become a retainer of the Li family. What do you think?"

Previously, Chu Rengong was in a semi-captured state, and she was just eating and drinking at Li's house without any official status.

Chu Rengong was overjoyed and bowed gracefully, saying, "I will do as you, my lord and mistress, say!"

"You will receive a monthly stipend... It's not much, only ten taels a month."

Chu Rengong laughed and said, "That's already a lot."

The offering included food and lodging, plus ten taels of silver—the treatment was excellent.

Besides, if I stay here... and work harder in the future, I might actually have a chance to win my lover's heart.

That will be the time for real happiness.

Li Lin continued, "As for what to do, Qing'er will tell you in a bit."

Chu Rengong nodded repeatedly; now, all she could do was nod.

That's how it was settled.

Leaving the Chu Palace was not Li Lin's idea, but rather the suggestion of Li Yanjing and Huang Qing.

Li Yanjing smiled and told Li Lin that Chu Rengong seemed smart, but was actually simple-minded. If he were sent out into the world, he would be deceived sooner or later.

It would be better to keep it at home. The other party has good martial arts skills and it can serve to protect the house.

Huang Qing agreed; she actually had a good relationship with Chu Rengong.

The time soon came to evening.

After finishing his meal and washing up, Chu Rengong returned to his room.

She was strong and had good hearing, and she could faintly hear soft, seductive sounds coming from the direction of the small spiritual vein.

Her face flushed slightly, and she felt incredibly envious.

She really wanted to go in and play with them, even if they didn't touch the bed, she could still help the master of the house push his butt.

……

Li Lin stayed in Yulin County for a few days and drank with Jiang Jili and Wen Bi.

The two of them were truly impressed by Li Lin's "feat".

After waiting for a few days, Li Lin rode his horse alone to Green Mountain Pass.

But when he passed the temple of the 'Blue Scale True Lord', Liu Shen, who descended from the sky, stopped him.

It's been more than two months since I last saw Liu Shen, and she has changed quite a bit.

Her scales were even more lustrous, and the blue was incredibly clear.

To give a simple example, it changed from the color of lake water to the texture of sapphire blue. "Is there something you need, True Lord Blue Scale?" Li Lin asked with a smile and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Just call me Shen Shen." The little dragon-man hummed twice, then put his hands on his hips and said, "Anyway, you're familiar with Big Sister, and you're one of us, so I can allow you to call me that. Big Sister used to call me that too."

Li Lin chuckled and asked, "So, little mirage, why are you stopping me?"

"Of course I need your help." Liu Shen floated closer and said seriously, "I found some strange things in the east. I can't fight them by myself. You need to help me. This place is under my protection. If those strange things run onto the main road and hurt people, fewer and fewer people will burn incense for me in the future. I don't want that to happen."

Li Lin asked seriously, "What kind of strange thing is that? What does it look like?"

Liu Shen thought for a moment and said, "It looks very strange, like a big shrimp, but it smells terrible."

The insects came from the east.

Li Lin sighed and said, "It's probably something that came from Yue County. You can't beat it either?"

"It's no match for me, but its whole body is covered in a hard shell, I can't hurt it!" Liu Shen said angrily, "How annoying."

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "I can help you."

"Really?"

Liu Shen happily circled around Li Linfei: "No wonder you know Big Sister, you're just as good as her. I'll call you brother from now on."

"what ever."

“Hmm, brother.” At this point, Liu Shen suddenly said, “Could I have a breath of your blood essence? It’s been months since I’ve had any. If I have a breath after such a long time, my older sister won’t beat me up.”

Li Lin thought for a moment and then reached out his hand to the other person.

Now Li Yanjing doesn't absorb his blood essence much anymore; instead, they cultivate together.

After all, the happiness brought by dual cultivation was much stronger than his physical strength.

Liu Shen held Li Lin's left hand and took a gentle breath.

Then she felt dizzy and flew around unsteadily.

She only regained some clarity after floating for a while.

Then Liu Shen wiped his mouth and said, "It's in the mountains next to a county town in the east. Let me think what that county town is called... Oh right, it's Cenxi County."

Li Lin's expression turned serious. Cenxi County was the easternmost county in Jin County, and further east was Yunfu Military Town.

Li Lin looked at Liu Shen and asked, "Do you patrol such a wide area?"

Liu Shen said smugly, "Hehe, I am a Jiao. Jiao are born to fly, and fly fast and far, so it's not surprising that they can run far."

Li Lin hissed and said, "Leave this to me."

"Can you win by yourself?" Liu Shen said, "I'm worried. I want to go with you. If you get hurt or get hurt, my older sister will beat me to death."

Li Lin laughed and said, "Okay, you can come with me. But it won't just be the two of us. We'll find more people to go with us."

If it's such a powerful monster, why should only one or two people be needed to deal with it?

Li Lin was no longer in a hurry to go to Green Mountain Pass.

He immediately turned his horse around and rode towards Yulin County.

Upon returning to the county government office, he issued a summons to all the spirit hunters in Yulin County.

Around dusk, all the spirit hunters in Yulin County arrived.

There were eleven people in total.

The benefits of the red mist to the human race are also quite obvious.

The increasing number of Spirit Hunters, along with the 'prosperity' of the Ghostly Realm, has created a dynamic balance.

At this moment, Liu Shen was standing beside Li Lin, and the Spirit Hunters also saw her, looking at her with great surprise.

They had been to the Temple of the Blue Scale True Lord, and they had seen the Blue Scale True Lord flying around overhead every day.

They even took the initiative to greet True Monarch Lanlin, but she never paid any attention to them.

Unexpectedly, it now floats obediently beside Li Lin.

As expected... someone who can become the chief supervisor in just two years is truly extraordinary.

Even such a powerful True Lord could be subdued.

Of the eleven spirit hunters, three were old acquaintances of Li Lin.

The Bai family uncles and nephews, and Yan Han.

The other eight people were all newcomers and not familiar with Li Lin.

Li Lin couldn't even remember their names.

Li Lin sat in the main seat, cupped his hands to the crowd, and said, "According to what True Monarch Lanlin said, a great monster has appeared in the eastern part of our Jin County... that is, near Cenxi County."

Everyone frowned.

A newcomer asked, "County Commandant, what does the appearance of the great monster in Cenxi have to do with our Yulin County?"

“The Great Demon of Cenxi came from Yue County. Once he has consumed enough blood essence in Cenxi and become stronger, do you think he might come to our Yulin County?”

Everyone fell silent; this possibility was too high.

Li Lin said, "Therefore, we must eliminate the great monster of Cenxi."

Bai Liwei clasped his hands and said, "County Commandant, we may not be enough. Even the Blue Scale True Monarch couldn't defeat this enemy, so our chances of winning are slim."

"Blue Scale True Lord, I will also go with you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Liwei retreated.

He knew Li Lin's character well; if he said he was going, he would definitely be at the forefront.

The other eight new Spirit Hunters looked at Li Lin with great surprise.

In their view, it was extremely rare for someone of Li Lin's high position and power to commit such a crime.

Li Lin continued, "Once we reach Cenxi County, I will dispatch local spirit hunters to join us in defeating the Great Demon. That demon has a very hard shell, so prepare plenty of shell-breaking weapons and spells. Alright... Now go back and prepare. We'll meet in the east of the city tomorrow morning."
