Godslayer: You get two at the start, Supreme Divine Ruins.

Hongying suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief. She stared at Lin Xiao and asked, "Really? Brother Lin Xiao, are you really willing to teach me?"

In the Great Xia Dynasty, although martial arts families exist, those families would never easily pass on their unique skills to outsiders.

Therefore, Hongying's shock is not hard to understand.

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, his eyes shining with warmth.

"Of course, but Sister Hongying, you can't rely entirely on the marksmanship I taught you. You have to incorporate your own style to unleash its full power."

Hongying was so excited that she wrapped her arms around Lin Xiao's neck, hugged his head tightly in her arms, and jumped up and down with joy.

"Learn from me! Thank you, little brother Lin Xiao! From now on, if anyone in Squad 136 dares to bully you, I'll teach them a lesson for you, including the captain!"

Lin Xiao felt the faint milky fragrance coming from the tip of his nose and the softness touching his face, and couldn't help but blush.

Only then did Chen Muyi come to his senses. Upon hearing Hongying's bold words, his face instantly turned as black as ink.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lin Wan'er looked at the two people embracing tightly, her face immediately darkened, and her lips pouted.

"Xiao, how come I had no idea you were so amazing? How many things have you been hiding from me?"

Lin Xiao buried his head in Hong Ying's arms, his voice muffled.

"I won't lie to you, all of this was taught to me by the Demon Ancestor Rahu."

Zhao Kongcheng opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but swear.

"Holy crap, Lin Xiao, are you a monster? You defeated Hongying in just two moves?"

Lin Qiye's shock was palpable.

"Brother Xiao, we've known each other since we were kids, how come I didn't know you were this strong?"

The others also looked at Lin Xiao as if he were a monster.

Hongying was stunned when she saw the group of people walking over. She then realized that she had been a little too excited.

She quickly released Lin Xiao.

Looking at Lin Xiao's flushed earlobes and the warm breath he had just breathed on her chest when he spoke, Hong Ying felt a little embarrassed.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Hongying's favorability towards you has reached 65%. You have received a reward: one Hongying exclusive Forbidden Ruins upgrade scroll.]

[Subsequent side quest hint: You will receive a system reward when Hongying's affection level towards you reaches 100%.]

Wen Qimo looked at Hongying's gradually rosy cheeks and teased her.

"Oh, Hongying is blushing. This is truly the first time a young lady has ever been on a wedding sedan chair."

Hongying was furious and said through gritted teeth.

"Wen Qimo, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak! So what if I blush? Did I eat your rice?"

"If you're so capable, why don't you fight Lin Xiao? You're definitely no match for me!"

Seeing that Wen Qimo and Hongying were about to start arguing again, Chen Muye suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He quickly changed the subject.

"Lin Xiao, the forbidden energy you just used belonged to the Demon Ancestor Rahu, didn't it? Besides weakening our power, did it have any other effect?"

Lin Xiao snapped out of his reverie at the system's reward and immediately explained, "That was just a passive effect."

Its main function is to violate and modify all physical rules.

When my killing intent is strong enough, I can even use it to attack.

“Leng Xuan, shoot me once, and I’ll demonstrate for you.”

Leng Xuan nodded, pulled out the pistol from his waist, and fired a shot into Lin Xiao's arm without hesitation.

Lin Xiao reopened the Chaos Demon Realm.

The bullet stopped moving the instant it entered the demonic realm, hovering in the air.

"I can make a forward-moving bullet lose all its momentum, or I can make it disintegrate."

The moment the words were spoken, the bullet shattered into fragments in mid-air and fell directly to the ground.

"I can also confuse people's senses or make them lose all friction; these are some of the abilities of my Divine Ruins. You can try taking two steps forward."

Just as Wu Xiangnan was about to take a step forward, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and fell heavily to the ground.

Wen Qimo refused to believe it and rushed forward, only to find to his surprise that he was just standing still, unable to move an inch.

Seeing this, Hongying couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, Wen Qimo, are you performing the 'devil's steps'?"

Chen Muyi also tried to move forward, but he also encountered a dizzying sensation and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Only Lin Wan'er moved with light steps and ease.

"Huh? Why am I okay?"

Lin Xiao retrieved the Demon Realm and affectionately ruffled Lin Wan'er's hair.

"Silly girl, how could I possibly harm you in my demon realm?"

Lin Wan'er's initial disappointment at Lin Xiao's closeness with Hong Ying was instantly dispelled by this tenderness. She obediently took Lin Xiao's hand and stood aside.

"Xiao, this Divine Ruins isn't as comfortable as the previous one, and it can't help me improve my cultivation either."

Chen Muye's gaze was fixed on Lin Xiao.

"Enhances cultivation? Lin Xiao, your other Divine Ruins actually have such miraculous effects?"

Hongying and Si Xiaonan also looked at Lin Wan'er in astonishment.

"Wan'er, your cultivation has improved? You've already reached the Pool Realm?"

Lin Wan'er nodded gently.

Lin Xiao gently tapped Lin Wan'er's forehead.

"Your cultivation level must be improved through your own efforts; you can't always rely on me. What will you do if I'm not by your side in the future?"

Lin Wan'er thought Lin Xiao's words made sense. She pretended to be aggrieved and touched her forehead, muttering softly, "Where are you going if you're not by my side? Do you not want me anymore now that you have a wife?"

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly, knowing that she had taken his words to heart.

Even if I get a wife, I won't abandon you. I can still take care of you, you little brat.

Lin Wan'er then revealed a bright smile and chuckled.

Lin Xiao then looked at Chen Muyi and the others who were looking on expectantly. From their expressions, he had already guessed what they were thinking.

Lin Xiao shrugged helplessly: "I'm not sure if I can help you improve your cultivation, but we can give it a try."

Lin Xiao did not immediately release his domain, but instead took out the Forbidden Ruins Upgrade Scroll from his pocket and handed it to Hong Ying.

"Sister Hongying, here you go. It can help you upgrade the Forbidden Ruins."

Hongying looked puzzled.

"Can the Forbidden Ruins be upgraded?"

The others also looked at Lin Xiao with blank expressions. Clearly, this was the first time they had ever heard of the Forbidden Ruins being able to be upgraded.

Lin Xiao had already devised a plan, using Hongjun as a shield.

"This was given to me by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He told me to give it to the person with whom I have a predestined marriage."

Now, Hongying's favorability towards him has reached 65%, and that's in the name of the gods.

Even if Hongying had doubts, she wouldn't dislike him.

Sure enough, Hongying's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently punched Lin Xiao's shoulder, shaking her head in refusal:

"Brother Lin Xiao, stop joking."

Why would the gods care about the marriages of us mortals?

However, this gift is too valuable; I cannot accept it. You should keep it for Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er showed no dissatisfaction, because she knew Lin Xiao's personality well.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Xiao always saved the best things for her, and what he didn't give her was usually things she couldn't use.

Lin Xiao confidently explained, "This was created by Dao Ancestor Hongjun based on the karmic connection between us. No one but you can use it. If you don't believe me, you can try it and see for yourself."

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, unable to discern the truth in Lin Xiao's confident demeanor.
