You’ll die a horrible death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me go at once! Or I’ll report to my sect—I’ll have you flayed alive, you scoundrel! You—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of silver passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi sheathed his blade; the woman stared at the severed hemp rope, opened her mouth as if wanting to say more, but couldn’t think of what else to curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they just let me go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not at all what I expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She licked her dry lips, paused thoughtfully: “I’m hungry. Got anything to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi glanced at her and shook his head: “Leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did want a woman beside him, but not enough to let lust cloud his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her identity was too special—so special that just thinking about it kept Shen Yi awake all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Baiyun County wasn’t wealthy, it had several wealthy merchants, and the Lin family was one of them, having built their fortune through silk trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone wouldn’t matter much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin family’s only daughter, though cherished, meant little before the government office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The special part lay in that single word: “only.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Lin, for reasons unknown, had many concubines but few children, all of whom died young—leaving only this daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no choice, he adopted a male heir to inherit the family business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this daughter, he spent a fortune sending her away to train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected her to actually succeed—upon returning, her first act was to draw her sword and slay demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi got involved at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She left the city alone and provoked that group of fox demons; surviving was nothing short of miraculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason? One fox, curious about human splendor, decided to pull a switch—substituting a fox cub for a royal heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It brought this girl to Shen Yi’s home, imitated her speech and behavior, completely replaced its own face with an identical copy, then had Shen Yi personally deliver the “severely wounded” impostor back to the Lin household to resolve the memory-loss issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi handled the matter neatly; the fox was pleased and awarded the girl to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she didn’t show her face in Baiyun County, he could do whatever he liked—with her acupoints sealed specifically for this purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A few days ago, I at least got rice porridge. Now I don’t even get water. Do you know how I’ve survived these past two days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Baiwei sat up weakly on the edge of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi turned his head: “I’ve already freed you. Why won’t you leave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fox capable of shapeshifting at will was far beyond what he could handle now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox had entered the Lin household and hadn’t yet harmed anyone; Shen Yi had no desire to make things worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just venting. You think I’m stupid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Baiwei rubbed her abdomen, her voice weak: “That beast left a restriction on me—if I step outside this room, it’ll come within half an hour and cut off my head.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Yi smirked: “So, to you, I’m safe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you touch me, I’ll fight you to the death,” Lin Baiwei glanced at him, teeth clenched. “But if you don’t, I need to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the girl’s determined gaze,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi sensed she truly loved eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to dwell on this any longer: “Listen, I’m going to rest. As for you, as long as you don’t make noise, do whatever you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Shen Yi lay back down, placing the official blade beneath his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Shen Yi turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted Lin Baiwei was stunning—even in this disheveled state, she was the most breathtaking person he’d seen since his reincarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t endure her sitting beside him like a ghost, hair wild, face blank, staring at him with that eerie, unblinking gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you insane?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t make a sound,” Lin Baiwei kept staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m seriously considering shoving you back under the bed,” Shen Yi slowly sat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead. Need me tied up again?” Lin Baiwei extended her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her demeanor made Shen Yi wonder who the real ruffian was: “Are you sticking to me now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just don’t want to die. I need food to live,” Lin Baiwei replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you didn’t want to die, why go provoke those foxes?” Shen Yi found it absurd—he’d assumed she was a reckless, impulsive noblewoman, but now she showed surprising adaptability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl frowned: “They prey on the people of Baiyun County. How is that me provoking them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Lin Baiwei suddenly leaned close, her fingers gently tracing the spot on Shen Yi’s robe stained with demon blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sniffed the foul odor like a cub, then looked up: “Besides, aren’t you provoking them too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not as stupid as you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi pushed her face away, speaking coolly: “Do you really have a sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to identify demon blood meant she had some real ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Splitting Mountain Peach Axe, Peerless Demon-Slaying Sword, Eighteen Forms of Breaking Wave Palm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two buns. How many techniques do you want to learn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lin Baiwei raise her fingers like reciting a menu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi’s lip twitched: “Go wash up and sleep…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, stumbling upon a master like Chen Ji who casually handed out cultivation manuals was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own system was far more reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him lie back down, Lin Baiwei reluctantly lowered her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fake sect names she’d made up clearly wouldn’t get her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at Shen Yi’s back, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she been away too long? How had a lowly jailer’s assistant even reached the threshold of the Initial Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh… should she invent a more credible story?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1187,"2026-06-20T15:00:36.117Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1a58c0614f617f2933260069dafc139fdbe339fa0a52b11f0eef56d095101d7e","immortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-chapter-14","immortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-chapter-12",840,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-cover.jpg"]
