Non-Humans Want to Fall in Love Too [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 25

To avoid suspicion and to perfect the lie that Ji Shijin had gone to Country Y for medical treatment, Shi Yan did not teleport. The two landed in Country Y by plane, and Shi Yan utilized the family influence of his current identity to completely erase their subsequent tracks.

Meanwhile, Cheng Ci, who remained in Chengning, unexpectedly became Shi Yan’s proxy. He was responsible for the cooperation between the Shi and Ji families and was appointed by Shi Yan to manage all of his business interests in Chengning.

Cheng Ci, who had worked hard to build his own business from scratch, became the confidant of a conglomerate’s eldest son overnight. This attracted a flurry of media and paparazzi coverage. Harassed by the constant attention, Cheng Ci now had to wrap himself up tightly even just to take out the trash.

“Boss, I cannot take it anymore. When are you coming back?” These days, Cheng Ci had been driven to his wit’s end by the elusive paparazzi. His greatest hope was for Ji Shijin to recover quickly so that he could bring the Boss back immediately.

A thousand year old fox demon did not care about assets in human society, but he, a little hedgehog, cared very much! Every day, in addition to handling his own company’s affairs, he had to monitor the cooperation between Shi Yan and the Ji Corporation while also dealing with the occasional inquiries from Ji Shijin’s father. If this continued, Cheng Ci felt he would truly die of overwork. To become the first demon in the world to die of sudden exhaustion, Cheng Ci felt this ending was practically tailor made for him.

Seeing his messages, Shi Yan’s expression remained unchanged as he handed the phone to Ji Shijin beside him.

“Mm?” Ji Shijin looked down and was caught off guard by the screen full of complaints from Cheng Ci. He froze for a moment. “Can he handle it? You handed all the work over to him?”

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow. “The energy of the Demon Race is far beyond what humans can compare to. He is merely complaining.”

Seeing the doubt on Ji Shijin’s face, Shi Yan added, “If he were truly too tired to function, he would have no time to send so many messages.”

Ji Shijin thought for a moment and agreed with Shi Yan’s reasoning. By now, the two had arrived by car at the human territory closest to the entrance of the Demon Realm. Further ahead lay a virgin forest where no one had ever entered.

The car stopped at the end of the road. The driver in the front turned around and asked Shi Yan in fluent Y language for instructions on where to go next. Shi Yan opened the door and got out, circling to the other side to pick up Ji Shijin. A wheelchair would be inconvenient in the forest, so he and Ji Shijin had agreed that he would carry him.

“You are no longer needed here. Go back and do not disclose any information to anyone,” Shi Yan said to the driver in a cold tone. The man was originally a fighter in the family who had been subdued by Shi Yan to become his own confidant, so there was no worry about him leaking information.

“Yes, Boss,” the man said, starting the car and turning around to depart.

This was still the edge of the city, and there was no telling if there were surveillance devices around. Shi Yan carried Ji Shijin step by step into the forest, calling on 61 to replace the surrounding surveillance footage.

The forest was very quiet. There were very few sounds from birds or insects, as if they knew they were near a very powerful and unfamiliar territory. Even small creatures had the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. The further they went inside, the quieter the surroundings became. Ji Shijin’s hands, clasped around Shi Yan’s shoulders, slowly tightened. In this uninhabited area, if Shi Yan were to abandon him, he would not even be able to walk out of here.

Shi Yan walked through the rarely visited forest. Even while holding a person, he did not appear sluggish at all, walking as if on level ground. Soon, they moved away from the edge of the forest. Shi Yan stopped walking, and Ji Shijin’s heart tightened as he unconsciously exerted force with his hands.

Shi Yan looked down at him and leaned in to kiss the tip of his nose. “Do not be nervous.”

Then, before Ji Shijin could react, he suddenly changed his posture. He supported Ji Shijin’s legs with one hand, letting his upper body lean against him to maintain balance, while completely letting go with the other hand.

“Shi Yan!”

Ji Shijin had almost no leverage in this position and could only struggle to tighten his arms around Shi Yan’s neck. His heart was almost leaping out of his chest, but he soon discovered that he was sitting steadily on Shi Yan’s arm without any wobbling. In this position, he was slightly taller than Shi Yan. He looked down at the mischievous man. Before Shi Yan could speak, Ji Shijin leaned forward and bit him hard on the lip.

“Hiss.” Shi Yan allowed him to bite. A bloodstain appeared on his lip, forming a small cut. Such a minor injury could be recovered with a single spell, but Shi Yan did not move, allowing the bloodstain to remain while he narrowed his eyes at the culprit who caused the wound.

Ji Shijin moved his gaze away with a bit of a guilty conscience. He had not intended to bite so hard; he simply had not controlled his strength well. However, this could be considered his revenge for Shi Yan intentionally scaring him.

Shi Yan used his free hand to turn Ji Shijin’s face toward him. His bloodstained lips curled into a smile, and a flash of red crossed his pupils, which instantly transformed into the vertical pupils of a fox, appearing enchanting and dangerous. Being stared at by such eyes, Ji Shijin’s breath hitched, and he nearly fell into them.

The eyes of a fox possessed a natural power of enchantment that ordinary humans were powerless to resist. If Shi Yan had not deliberately suppressed it, Ji Shijin would have lost his self awareness long ago.

“Alright, do not look,” Shi Yan said in a softened voice, raising a hand to cover his eyes. “Come back to your senses.”

The eyelashes in his palm trembled, and Ji Shijin finally recovered. He struggled to move but was coaxed into Shi Yan’s embrace.

“Although there is no one here, you would not want to expose yourself outside either,” Shi Yan said the most blush inducing things in the calmest tone.

Ji Shijin did not dare to move for a moment, hiding himself deeply in Shi Yan’s embrace. The place where something was wrong was separated by two layers of fabric, occasionally brushing against Shi Yan as he walked. Ji Shijin felt as if his entire body was on fire. He hunched his back and lay on Shi Yan’s shoulder, burying his head deeply like an ostrich.

Shi Yan intentionally tested his weight with a slight bounce. He raised his hand to form a seal. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the images on both sides retreated rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they had moved several thousand meters.

Ji Shijin’s eyes widened suddenly, and his body unconsciously shrank into Shi Yan’s embrace, no longer caring about his physical reaction. Shi Yan gave a light laugh. Under his deliberate suppression, the physiological effect on the human was minimal and would automatically subside within a few minutes. Seeing that Ji Shijin was too nervous just now, he had intentionally teased him to distract his attention.

61 saw through it in the system space. Calling it a distraction was merely the Host’s mischievous streak. The poor mission target was being toyed with by his Host without even knowing it.

“We are here.”

After several bouts of teleportation, they stood in an open space that appeared slightly different from the surroundings. The air here seemed saturated with spiritual energy. Ji Shijin clearly felt threads of warmth flowing into his body, heading toward his sensationless legs.

Ji Shijin looked up at the halo that suddenly appeared in front of him, his heart skipping a beat. “Is this the entrance to the Demon Realm you mentioned?”

“Mm.” Shi Yan held him with one hand and raised the other, grasping something in the air. With a forceful pull, a crack suddenly opened within the halo, and sharp wind blades shot out from it.

Ji Shijin snapped his eyes shut. In the next moment, Shi Yan reached out to disperse those wind blades, comforting his startled lover. “It is fine. I said I would not let you get hurt.”

The entrance to the Demon Realm detected the approach of an outsider and automatically launched an attack. However, Shi Yan fully released the aura of a thousand year old Great Demon to confront it. Ji Shijin watched Shi Yan without blinking, seeing fine patterns appear on his face and his hair faintly glowing red. In that moment, the aura of a fox demon completely unfolded. With the addition of the fox tribe’s enchantment talent, he was breathtakingly beautiful.

Ji Shijin could not help but stare blankly.

Rumble.

The entrance made a threatening sound. Shi Yan’s gaze was calm, and a massive phantom of a fox appeared behind him. As an ordinary human, Ji Shijin could not feel the confrontation between them, but he could see that in just a few seconds, the sound from the entrance vanished. Not even a ripple remained; it was as calm as a mirror.

Shi Yan withdrew his hand. “It is done.”

No matter how capable that entrance was, it was only a set program that automatically activated when detecting outsiders. In the face of an aura like Shi Yan’s, it could not even withstand a single blow. However, Shi Yan held back and did not completely destroy it, so it could still be used to ward off other humans who might stumble in by accident.

Ji Shijin clung to Shi Yan’s shoulders and watched as he took a step across the entrance. His vision turned dark for a moment, but within two seconds, clarity returned. What met his eyes was a scene like a fairyland described in books. It was as if a fine veil were draped over everything. The edges of the halo from the sun shone with colors. There was clear flowing water, towering ancient trees, and small animals running freely in the forest.

Shi Yan’s appearance startled those little fellows. The little demons who had been happily rolling on the grass scrambled up and ran away as if flying, hiding behind tall grass or large trees.

Ji Shijin could not help but reach out his hand. The sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves of the giant trees fell onto his palm, creating a perfect warmth. He looked down at his palm and murmured, “This is the Demon Realm.”

“Mm.” Shi Yan walked up to an ancient tree and knocked three times on the trunk. Ji Shijin watched his actions curiously and saw the ancient tree seemingly come to life. Several branches sprouted from top to bottom, slowly deforming in Shi Yan’s hands. Eventually, a simple wheelchair made of ancient tree branches was finished.

Ji Shijin was lowered into the wheelchair by Shi Yan. He was surprised to find that the branches wrapped around him as if they had a consciousness of their own. Without having to use his own strength, he could sit very comfortably, and his safety was also ensured.

“It is not convenient for outside objects to enter here. Just use this for the time being.” Shi Yan could perceive Ji Shijin’s joy, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Ji Shijin looked up at him. “Thank you.”

Shi Yan cast a minor spell to make the wheelchair move forward on its own. Before long, they arrived at the territory of the fox demon tribe. Shi Yan had no intention of disturbing other demons, so he took Ji Shijin through a side path to his house.

Ji Shijin looked at the simple little wooden house in front of him and was stunned. “Is this where you have always lived?”

Shi Yan stepped forward to open the door. “Mm. However, demons spend most of their time cultivating and do not need sleep. Eating is also very simple, so a residence only needs to provide shelter from the wind and rain.”

“The drawing of the formation will be centered on the wooden house.” He turned back to look at the person in the wheelchair. “You will lie on the bed and sleep. You will likely be unconscious during the process and will wake up several months later.”

In other words, he did not need to eat or drink; his body would be nourished solely by the treasures used for the formation. Ji Shijin took a deep breath. Everything happening before him was a shock to his worldview. Even though he had a high capacity for acceptance, he needed some time to get used to it.

“Are we starting now?” Ji Shijin looked around. This place was quiet and secluded, and the scenery was naturally excellent, but he still wanted to see more of the Demon Realm’s sights. It would be best if he could look around.

Shi Yan paused for a moment and said, “There is no need. I will take you around for a few days first.”

“Really?” Ji Shijin looked up at him, his eyes seemingly sparkling. “Can I go see some places further away?”

“You can.” Shi Yan paused and found a book from the room to hand to him. Ji Shijin took it; it was titled “Travelogue of the Demon Realm.”

“This was left here by some little foxes before. The language is the same as human language. You can read it if you are interested.” Shi Yan briefly explained why such a book appeared in his room.

As expected, Ji Shijin could not put it down and began to read. While Shi Yan set up the barrier and prepared the formation outside the house, he occasionally heard questions from Ji Shijin.

“You mentioned before that the Demon Realm territory also has oceans and plains. Are they the same as in human society?” “Almost. You can see for yourself.” “What does the Everlasting Flower that grows on cliffs look like?” “They come in all colors. I will bring some back for you to look at in the room.”

Ji Shijin found everything novel and wanted to ask about whatever came to mind. Shi Yan helplessly returned to his side and took the book, placing it on a high shelf that Ji Shijin could not reach.

“Why take it away? I haven’t finished reading it,” Ji Shijin protested with a frown, stretching his arm to reach for Shi Yan’s hand. The usually decisive President Ji seemed to have become a naive child in this small wooden house, not only asking Shi Yan about everything but even daring to be angry and act spoiled with him.

Looking at the person with vivid features and a relaxed smile, Shi Yan’s heart grew increasingly soft. Ji Shijin caught a moment when Shi Yan’s arm lost its strength and gave a sudden, hard pull. He pulled Shi Yan’s hand down and successfully grabbed the book that had not yet been put away.

“Go back to your work. I won’t ask this time.” He opened the book and intentionally turned the wheelchair around to face away from Shi Yan.

Knowing he was feigning anger, Shi Yan had to coax him. Setting the formation aside for a moment, Shi Yan picked the person up from the wheelchair and sat down on the only bed. Being held by him, Ji Shijin could not resist at all. He eventually sat on Shi Yan’s lap with reddened ears. With their lower abdomens pressed together, he could feel a warmth that did not belong to him through the fabric of their clothes.

“Mm.” A large hand gripped his chin, and Ji Shijin was forced to look up. His rosy lips parted, revealing snowy white teeth and a glint of his tongue. The man’s breath broke in relentlessly, plundering everywhere in his mouth. Ji Shijin could only manage a slight gasp when he could not bear it; the rest of the time, he was completely controlled by Shi Yan.

A change occurred in a hidden place. Ji Shijin’s eyes widened, and he reached out his hands to push him away. Shi Yan released the lips that had been kissed a deep red, his voice carrying a rasp of desire. “I will help you.”

“No.” Ji Shijin shook his head, but his refusal was drowned out by endless gasps. A faint trace of moisture crossed his cheek, erupting along with a low moan.

After it was over, Shi Yan lightly summoned water from the stream. After heating it to a suitable temperature, he wiped Ji Shijin’s body. Ji Shijin leaned his head against Shi Yan’s shoulder, his teeth biting his lower lip, and closed his eyes in an attempt to hypnotize himself.

“It is done.” Shi Yan moved quickly. After cleaning up the mess, he picked the person up and laid him on the bed.

“Sleep for a while. I will be outside setting up the formation. If you need me, just call my name in your heart.” The connection between them had not been broken; Shi Yan could hear his call.

After a few seconds, he heard a reply. “I know. Go now.” Ji Shijin muttered in a low voice. Even though he was awake, he did not open his eyes, as if pretending to be an ostrich. Seeing his bright red ears, Shi Yan gave a low laugh, conjured a thin blanket to cover him, and quietly pushed the door open to leave.

Before leaving, an Everlasting Flower materialized from demonic power was placed by the pillow by Shi Yan. A faint, dark fragrance surrounded Ji Shijin, leading him into a good dream.
