39: My fingers are not stained with human or animal blood, I am content to be a carefree woman

Yuan Ming said aggressively, "So what? Don't think that just because you're in the Nascent Soul Stage now and have some strange methods, you can do whatever you want!"

"Young Lord Jiang Lin has already become the Dao Child of Dao Heaven Sect; he won't let you off!"

"Soon, the Xiao Family will cease to exist!"

"I advise you to commit suicide now, and I will plead for the Xiao Family so that they don't all die a violent death!"

Xiao Dong's eyes turned cold, and he declared, "Hmph, he's just a good-for-nothing fop relying on his elders. If he doesn't come for me, I'll personally go settle the score with him!"

Watching the farce unfold, Shangguan Yaoyao's eyes in the distance showed a hint of displeasure.

"Xiao Dong Gege's thinking is too extreme!"

"Jiang Lin isn't what he imagines; how could a good-for-nothing fop become the fourth on the Earth Rank...?"

At this moment, she had completely shed yesterday's despondency, having fully recovered her original intelligent and perceptive self.

This time, Jiang Lin went out without taking her, nor did he restrict her movements.

It was as if he had completely forgotten her.

This did not discourage Shangguan Yaoyao in the slightest; instead, it made her fully decide to enter the fray herself and eliminate this menace!

She decided to humble herself completely and curry favor with Jiang Lin!

While accumulating favorability, she would become his confidante!

This would pave the way for a decapitation strike in the Late Stage.

She absolutely would not allow such a terrifying enemy as Jiang Lin to develop and grow strong peacefully!

This time, she came to bid farewell to Xiao Dong, and coincidentally encountered the current scene.

After a moment of thought, she said with a look of disappointment:

"Never mind, I won't see him. Just give him this letter!"

Thinking of the earring on Xiao Dong that day, Shangguan Yaoyao's mood instantly dropped a few notches.

Am I really not as important to you as that necklace?

Xiao Dong Gege, I believe you; there must be some misunderstanding here!

However, Shangguan Yaoyao has to go offline for a while!

During this time, I will have to humble myself before that Devil Head Jiang Lin!

Wait for me; I will come to see you again with my purity intact!

From the shadows, an old man emerged and took the letter.

"Young Miss, the flashback is clear. When Sima Gan used the Gale Wind to sneak attack Young Miss, Jiang Lin had already completed the poisoning!"

Shangguan Yaoyao was stunned and said in shock, "What? How did he do that?"

"A top-tier Divine Ability from the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture, Borrowed Spell Contamination, which traces the poison back to the original caster through the spell released by the spellcaster!"

Shangguan Yaoyao: "He went straight for the kill from the beginning?"

Shangguan Luo's eyes were complex, and he said deeply, "Yes, this child is ruthless, and his ability to judge situations is extremely strong. He has comprehended the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture to the level of an Unsurpassed Grandmaster. All our previous information about him was wrong!"

"Unsurpassed Grandmaster? How is that possible? He's so young?"

Shangguan Luo continued, "Young Miss, the inner hall has also investigated. In Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, he used the Unsurpassed Divine Ability of the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture, Poison Source World Transformation! The poison on your body probably won't be easily undone for a while..."

This time, Shangguan Yaoyao could no longer sit still.

In her impression, Xiao Dong was already a top Genius.

He was well-versed in many Cultivation Techniques, able to comprehend each one to the Great Master level in a short time.

But now, in comparison, Jiang Lin was the truly hidden Prodigy.

Because mastering all methods requires talent.

However, to achieve the Peak in one method is not just about talent.

It requires tireless dedication.

She found it hard to imagine how long a young man not yet twenty years old would need to grovel in a pit of poison to master the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture to such a Realm.

This was hundreds of times more agonizing than achieving the Yuan Yang Holy Body.

"Young Miss, you must be extremely careful. Anyone who can refine the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture to such a degree is ruthless and inhumane!"

"Judging from his years of dormancy, this child is more seasoned and cunning than anyone before him."

"I suggest you stay far away from this person now, the farther the better!"

"I have a premonition that the Human Race will soon be thrown into chaos because of this child!"

Shangguan Yaoyao strongly agreed with her Dao Protector's words.

Without a Heaven-Defying Heart-Nature, Jiang Lin could not have achieved such accomplishments.

And to be able to disguise himself so well that all information Systems couldn't detect him, this level of forbearance was top-tier.

Moreover, the arrangements of the past few days clearly showed it.

Being in the midst of the situation, she felt like a Puppet on strings, manipulated by him at will!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yaoyao's eyes became firm.

Others may fear your profound schemes, Jiang Lin, but I do not!

Because I still have the Heavenly Dao Marriage System to help me!

Jiang Lin, I will definitely make you pay the price you deserve!

The more she thought, the more Shangguan Yaoyao's resolve strengthened.

"I'm already like this; if I don't enter Hell, who will!"

"I've decided to enter the fray myself and eliminate this menace!"

After another glance at Xiao Dong, who was surrounded by the crowd, Shangguan Yaoyao flew towards Black Yuan City without hesitation.

Jiang Lin, if you don't take me, I can find you myself!

Trying to shake me off is impossible!

...

Black Yuan City.

Jiang Lin lay in the most luxurious room.

Beside him, Xia Shirou had just closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

Looking at the exhausted Xia Shirou, Jiang Lin's heart was extremely complex.

Although Jiang Lin knew that this girl was a ticking time bomb.

A bomb that could explode at any moment.

Still, he couldn't help but draw closer.

The two of them seemed to be a truly perfect match.

"The Bloodline of this world is truly miraculous!"

"Just a 'Scorpion and Snake Perfect Match' has already made me soft-hearted multiple times!"

"No matter what, I must be on my guard!"

"At any time, the female lead of this world is not to be trusted!"

Dismissing distracting thoughts, there was now the most difficult problem before Jiang Lin.

Should he allow Xia Shirou to embark on the path of Cultivation?

In this world, resources are limited, and many small families favor males over females.

They focus on male Cultivation, and female Family members are generally not allowed to Cultivate.

The Xia Family, which was annihilated, was precisely such a Family.

Therefore, this collateral branch member, Xia Shirou, despite having Imperial Grade Bloodline, was unknown to anyone and had never even come into contact with any Cultivation Technique.

Xia Shirou is the Reincarnation of Xia Xuehan, the Ice Scorpion Devil Ancestor of the Immortal Realm.

If her strength recovers to even half of her previous life's, she will awaken her past life's memories and regain all her former strength.

At that time, knowing that she had lost her purity to Jiang Lin, wouldn't she slice him into ten thousand pieces?

Logically speaking, Jiang Lin shouldn't even think about it and just keep her as a pampered canary.

But, unfortunately, there's another Awakening condition: the threat of unnatural death!

This is a grand era, and chaos is about to descend upon the world. Where is there a safe place?

Jiang Lin could kick the bucket at any moment, so how could he ensure that she would be safe for a lifetime?

Therefore, only if she has some self-preservation ability will she constantly face the threat of death!

Having self-preservation ability requires Cultivation, and Cultivation carries the possibility of Awakening...

This is a vicious cycle!

Information about Xia Xuehan constantly flashed through Jiang Lin's mind.

The Ice Scorpion Devil Ancestor, renowned throughout the myriad Realms for her Ice Dao.

Her Ice Dao strength struck fear into people's hearts.

Once she awakens, he, as a Mortal, would surely die!

Currently, it seems her Awakening is an inevitable event...

No, there's another condition!

The records state that if a Reincarnated individual Undergoes Tribulation to Immortal Ascension and has not practiced their original martial arts, or if their personality undergoes a complete reversal, they will automatically forget their previous life.

This means that if a Reincarnated individual's Cultivation path is completely different from their previous life's, they might not awaken their memories!

Even without the Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, the grand dao pure memory heavenly lotus liquid, she could still forget her previous life!

However, this possibility is too low!

She must not come into contact with any Cultivation Technique learned in her previous life, and her experiences must also be vastly different from her past life.

"Although the requirements are quite strict, it's not impossible!"

Thinking of this, a truly feasible idea appeared in Jiang Lin's mind.

Xia Shirou's Bloodline is the Medium Grade Imperial Grade Myriad Domain Ice Solitude Scorpion.

In your previous life, you Cultivated the Ice Demonic Path; in this life, I will let you enter the Dao through the Scorpion, and continuously enhance the influence of your Bloodline.

In your previous life, you were lonely and helpless, enduring all sorts of hardships and pain; in this life, I will cherish you in every way, spoiling you into the happiest woman in the world!

In your previous life, you killed countless people, with blood Qi ingrained in your bones; in this life, I will make sure your hands never touch human or beast blood, allowing you to live as a carefree girl!

With such a vast difference, I don't believe you'll still awaken!

Jiang Lin's restless heart slowly settled down.

Looking at the dense dark clouds not far away, he felt a premonition of an impending storm.

Black Yuan City is the major plotline of the second volume of the novel.

The scheming Long Zhan, the once-in-a-millennium beast tide, the opportunistic Yao Race...

But Jiang Lin didn't consider the upcoming major plotline of Black Yuan City at all, instead focusing all his attention on Xia Shirou.

Someone who knew would definitely ask,

Is it worth spending so much effort on a little girl who currently has no strength whatsoever?

Jiang Lin's answer, without a doubt, is,

Yes!

Very much so!

Absolutely!

In the novel world, Karma is paramount!

He was certain that if he were to die in this world, it would definitely be at the hands of Xia Xuehan.

He had to make thorough preparations.

The best strategy is to attack the Heart-Nature, the middle strategy is to change Cultivation Techniques and paths, and the lower strategy is to find the grand dao pure memory heavenly lotus liquid!

By pursuing all three strategies simultaneously, I refuse to believe I can't turn this situation around!

I am not a savior; the death trap of Black Yuan City for the Liu Family, the safety of the Human Race's Dragon Vein, none of that concerns me!

I am just a villain surviving in the cracks!

The Child of Destiny, Xiao Dong, is always ready to come and grind me to dust.

If my fated enemy, Xia Xuehan, awakens, I will surely die.

The Imperial power and the Hidden Family Sima Family are always ready to harvest the Jiang Family to replenish the imperial treasury.

The forces of the Chaos First Devil have already set their sights on me, intending to refine me into a Puppet to revive one of his four envoys...

And various other enemies are waiting for the Jiang Family to fall so they can skin and dismember me.

Therefore, I have no choice!

I can only protect myself and proceed cautiously!

I will, under the premise of staying alive, step by step become the final surviving villain!

However, I will not give up the benefits of Black Yuan City!

Xiao Dong, I'm waiting for you here!

Waiting for your Good Fortune as the Heavens!
