Chapter 13: The Lin Family's Only Daughter
Chapter 13: The Lin Family's Only Daughter
In his past life, Shen Yi might have indulged in wild thoughts about ghosts and gods.
But now, he sat up, looking down at the wooden board sealing the space under the bed.
He had felt something amiss earlier; who would use a wooden board to seal the space under the bed?
Without searching for a mechanism, Shen Yi applied a bit of force, breaking the wooden board, and reached under the bed to grab the battle saber placed there."
"Shua!"
As the creature below poked its head out, the saber's blade was already pressing against its neck."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes.
Coerced by the blade, the woman's black hair was in disarray, her features delicate yet exuded a valiant spirit. Her dirty face was filled with anger, and her mouth was gagged with a cloth strip, emitting a whining sound that didn't sound pleasant.
Her once-snow-white long robe was now as dirty as a rag.
Her hands were tied behind her back with hemp ropes.
Judging from her slightly flushed forehead, she had probably been banging her head against the bed.
As Shen Yi recognized the beautiful face of this young woman, his expression changed from confusion to anger, and he finally took a deep breath to calm himself.
You damn... how much trouble did you leave me with?!
There was no point in getting angry at a dead person, so Shen Yi helplessly lowered his gaze and casually untied the cloth strip from the woman's mouth.
"You bastard, aiding the tiger! You won't have a good death!"
"Let me go quickly! Otherwise, I'll report to my sect, and I'll have you, you dog thief, skinned alive!" She paused, seemingly wanting to say more, but unsure how to continue her curses.
She's being released?
This wasn't quite what he had expected.
She licked her dry lips, paused for a moment, and then asked, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Shen Yi glanced at her and shook his head. "Get out."
Although he desired female companionship, he wasn't going to let his lust cloud his judgment.
Her identity was too special; just thinking about it would keep Shen Yi awake all night.
Baiyun County wasn't exactly a wealthy place, but there were a few wealthy merchants, and the Lin family was one of them, having made their fortune through silk trading.
That alone would have been fine.
Although the Lin family's only daughter was cherished, she didn't hold much weight in front of the county office.
What made her special was precisely her status as the only child.
No one knew what had happened, but Old Master Lin had many wives and concubines, yet few children, and those he had kept dying one after another, leaving only this daughter.
Desperate, he had to adopt a male heir to continue the family line.
As for this daughter, they spent a hefty sum to send her away to study martial arts.
Unexpectedly, she actually succeeded in her training... Her first act upon returning was to wield a sword and slay demons.
It was at this time that Shen Yi got involved.
She had left the city alone, and when she encountered that group of fox demons outside the city, it was a miracle that she managed to escape with her life.
The reason for this was that a curious fox demon wanted to experience the splendor of the human world and staged a 'Fox Swap Prince' act.
It brought this girl to Shen Yi's home, not only imitating her speech and actions but also completely transforming itself into an exact copy of her face. Finally, through Shen Yi's hands, it was 'severely injured' and sent back to the Lin family, solving the issue of lost memories.
Shen Yi handled the matter perfectly, and the fox demon was satisfied, so it rewarded him with this girl.
As long as she didn't appear in Baiyun County, he could do as he pleased, and he even sealed her energy points to ensure her compliance.
"In the past few days, I at least had rice porridge to eat, but now they don't even give me water. Do you know how I've been surviving these past two days?"
Lin Baiwei weakly got up and sat on the edge of the bed.
Shen Yi glanced sideways, "I've let you go, as you asked. Why aren't you leaving?"
A fox that could transform at will was definitely not something he could handle at his current level.
The fox had entered the Lin residence but hadn't harmed anyone yet, and Shen Yi didn't want to make things worse.
"I just wanted to curse and vent my frustration. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Lin Baiwei rubbed her lower abdomen, her voice weak, "That beast left a restriction on my body. If I take a single step out of this room, it can come and take my head within half an hour."
Hearing this, Shen Yi's lips curled into a cold smile, "So, you think I'm safe?"
"If you touch me, I'll fight you to the death." Lin Baiwei glanced at him, her teeth clenched, "But if you don't, I need to eat!"
Shen Yi sensed her determination in her eyes.
He felt that she was genuinely passionate about eating.
Not wanting to prolong this issue, Shen Yi said, "Listen, I'm going to rest now. As for you, just don't make any noise, and do as you please."
After saying this, Shen Yi lay down again, placing his official saber under his arm.
"..."
"..."
A moment later, Shen Yi turned to look back.
He had to admit that Lin Baiwei was very beautiful, even in her disheveled state; she was the most stunning person he had seen since his transmigration.
However, he couldn't bear her ghost-like appearance, with her disheveled hair and expressionless face, sitting beside him and staring at him with an eerie gaze.
"Are you sick or something?"
"I didn't make a sound." Lin Baiwei continued to stare at him.
"I really want to stuff you back under the bed." Shen Yi slowly sat up.
"As you wish, do you want me to tie you up again?" Lin Baiwei extended her hands.
Her attitude made Shen Yi wonder who was the real hooligan between them, "Are you trying to stick to me?"
"I just don't want to die. I need to eat to stay alive." Lin Baiwei's expression was calm.
"If you didn't want to die, why provoke those foxes?" Shen Yi found it absurd. He initially thought she was a reckless and impulsive young miss, but she turned out to be quite adaptable.
Upon hearing this, the young lady looked at him with confusion, "They prey on the people of Baiyun County. How is that me provoking them?"
As she spoke, Lin Baiwei suddenly leaned in, her fingers gently caressing Shen Yi's collar, where the demon blood had stained it red.
Like a young beast, she sniffed the stench, then lifted her head, "Besides, aren't you also provoking them?"
"I'm not as stupid as you."
Shen Yi pushed her small face away and said indifferently, "Do you really have a martial arts background?"
Being able to distinguish the scent of demon blood indicated that she had some genuine skills.
"Mountain Splitting Peach Blossom Axe, Demon Slaying Unparalleled Sword, Eighteen Styles of Wave Severing Palm..."
"Just two buns, and you want to learn a few moves?"
Shen Yi watched as Lin Baiwei counted on her fingers like she was ordering dishes.
He twitched his lips, "Go wash up and sleep..."
Indeed, it was rare to encounter someone like Chen Ji, who could casually produce a martial arts manual.
His own panel was much more reliable.
Seeing him lie down again, Lin Baiwei helplessly lowered her hand.
The names she had made up couldn't get her any food.
She stared at Shen Yi's back, deep in thought.
Could it be that she had been away from society for too long? How could a small law enforcement officer in the execution chamber have access to the Initial Realm?
She sighed, wondering if she should come up with a more convincing story.
