The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Shi Zhihua acted boldly, completely unconcerned about the consequences of her words. She clearly knew that she was merely passing through the path of mortals and didn’t need to be too invested in royal power or wealth. After she left the path of mortals, these things would be insignificant.

Therefore, she lived a free and uninhibited life.

She could choose to be a Prime Minister for fun today, and tomorrow, she would dare to defy the Emperor in the Golden Hall. She dared to do anything she wished.

If she wanted to do it, she would. As long as she could bear the consequences, she acted spontaneously.

The Imperial Advisor was astonished by the way this Prime Minister You conducted herself.

Perhaps because the Imperial Advisor had always been cautious and meticulous in her actions, she had never encountered anyone so unrestrained, someone who would break into her residence at night and then openly take responsibility for such a reputation-damaging situation.

What is this called?

For a moment, the Imperial Advisor felt that it wasn’t the two of them who were crazy, but herself.

She looked at the two people before her in confusion. The anger of being betrayed by Tong Siqing was overshadowed by bewilderment.

Yes, I should be angry, not stand here like two fools, asking about the child.

Shi Zhihua leaned down to listen to the girl’s belly: “The child is growing so fast.”

Tong Siqing replied with a gentle expression: “Yes.”

“Do you especially like children?” Shi Zhihua could only think this way. After all, if the girl didn’t like children, she wouldn’t have this delusion. She tentatively asked, “So, is it a girl or a boy?”

Tong Siqing stated confidently: “It’s a girl with big eyes, fine and soft hair that isn’t messy or coarse. Her temperament is quite gentle, but she won’t be easily bullied…”

Shi Zhihua: “…”

She understood. Her rabbit wanted a child like this in the future.

Such a child wasn’t hard to find. With the power of her pleasure house, she could find one with a little effort. It wasn’t a difficult matter.

Shi Zhihua indulged her: “Good, it must be just like that.”

Tong Siqing nodded: “Mm!”

The Imperial Advisor, watching this scene: “…”

Now, she also reacted. The current Prime Minister You has been secretly coming to my territory to steal my person, and she has clearly set her sights on Tong Siqing! The two of them have probably already done something!

At this, the Imperial Advisor’s anger surged belatedly, and the look in her eyes towards Tong Siqing was laced with murderous intent.

She gritted her teeth, questioning Shi Zhihua: “Does Prime Minister You have anything else to say? Tomorrow, after I report to His Majesty, neither you nor she will have a good outcome.”

Shi Zhihua was nonchalant: “Nothing to say. The facts are just as they are. You neglected her, and I took advantage of the situation. What of it? Now we have a child and have shared a bed. What can you do?”

The Imperial Advisor was shocked by the other party’s shamelessness: “You, you…”

Shi Zhihua even praised the rabbit, deliberately provoking the Imperial Advisor: “By the way, the person you cultivated is very sensible. She’s occasionally a bit temperamental, and that’s also very cute.”

Imperial Advisor: “…”

Sensible is true, but Tong Siqing rarely displayed her temper in front of her.

In the past, she would have attributed this to her good teaching, but now, upon reflection, it meant that Tong Siqing was more genuine and unrestrained in front of others.

Therefore…

I was still betrayed by the person I put the most effort into.

The Imperial Advisor clenched her fingers, a fierce aura suddenly rising—she hated betrayal. If she had to encounter such a thing again, she would rather kill Tong Siqing.

She looked bitterly at that person, the girl she had picked up and personally mentored for years.

But her girl didn’t care about her feelings at all.

Tong Siqing, hearing someone praise her, immediately curved her eyebrows and shyly lowered her head, having never been praised before.

Imperial Advisor: “…”

Shi Zhihua knew Tong Siqing liked being praised, so she praised her again: “She’s also very cute. Every glance and smile is captivating.”

Tong Siqing tugged on her arm, too shy to lift her head.

The Imperial Advisor, with a stiff face, warned Tong Siqing: “Don’t be deceived by the sweet words of outsiders. She’s coaxing you now to follow her, but she might abandon you later. Such promiscuous people are all the same. They hold you in their palm when they like you and discard you like worn-out shoes when they don’t…”

Tong Siqing refuted: “She is not an outsider. She is my… neiren (inner person/wife).”

Imperial Advisor: “…”

Neiren is not used like that.

Shi Zhihua, in turn, asked the Imperial Advisor: “…Did you teach her these terms?”

The Imperial Advisor felt utterly humiliated. She was instantly both angry and infuriated and didn’t want to speak anymore.

She decided: Tomorrow, she would report to His Majesty and impeach Prime Minister You. After all, the grave offense of poaching the High Priestess was definitely unforgivable.

For tonight, let them gloat.

Shi Zhihua pulled Tong Siqing along to leave. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to turn back to the Imperial Advisor and say: “I’m taking my person with me. Thank you, Imperial Advisor, for your many years of cultivation.”

This is going too far!

The Imperial Advisor, who had originally intended to resolve the matter gently, suddenly turned hostile and ordered the hidden archers: “Fire!”

Shi Zhihua: !!!

Although she had heard the ambush movement outside beforehand, she was still startled by the Imperial Advisor’s sudden reversal.

Shi Zhihua decisively retreated into the room, secured Tong Siqing, and then dragged the Imperial Advisor outside.

She carried a soft sword with her. Although the blade was flexible, it was extremely sharp. Killing someone in a single step was no problem at all.

Imperial Advisor: !!!

Wait, isn’t Prime Minister You a civil official? How is her martial skill so good?

Shi Zhihua raised her voice: “Who dares to shoot? I will kill your Imperial Advisor.”

The archers hidden outside paid no heed and continued to shoot arrows.

Imperial Advisor: “…”

Shi Zhihua leaned in close to the Imperial Advisor’s ear, a gentle cold laugh escaping her lips: “It seems the Imperial Advisor’s subordinates are the kind who only follow orders, even disregarding their master’s safety.”

Imperial Advisor: “…”

No, her subordinates are just blocks of wood who are inflexible to this extent.

Shi Zhihua’s eyes were sharp. She looked up at the archers ahead: “Are you still joking with me?”

With that, she pushed the Imperial Advisor and walked out. One archer, whether deliberately trying to injure her or simply having a shaky hand, shot an arrow directly into the Imperial Advisor’s shoulder.

Shi Zhihua was shocked.

“Imperial Advisor, such a hateful heart! Are you intending to die with us?”

The Imperial Advisor gritted her teeth. While in pain, she angrily shouted at the blind archers: “I said, stop! Didn’t you see I’m being used as a shield!”

Only then did the archers cease their barrage.

Shi Zhihua: “…”

Imperial Advisor, if you had spoken a moment earlier, you wouldn’t have taken that arrow.

The Imperial Advisor attempted to communicate with Shi Zhihua: “I will let you go, but you must call Tong Siqing out. I have something to say to her.”

Shi Zhihua: “Fine.”

As the three retreated, Tong Siqing was called to the Imperial Advisor’s side.

The Imperial Advisor patiently asked her why she betrayed her.

Tong Siqing said it wasn’t betrayal, that there was no such thing as betrayal on her part.

The Imperial Advisor exploded with anger, asking what else this could be called if not betrayal.

Tong Siqing insisted that she had done nothing wrong.

Seeing the conversation going nowhere, Shi Zhihua interjected: “Perhaps, to her, this isn’t called betrayal. She is merely making the correct choice and liking the person she ought to like.”

The Imperial Advisor ignored Shi Zhihua and continued to question Tong Siqing: “You promised me that you would listen to me in everything, but now, you’ve been lured away by a person who suddenly appeared, and you even conspired with her to harm me. What is this called if not betrayal? You ungrateful wretch, I should have never picked you up in the first place.”

“But you promised me you would help me find someone, and you broke your promise,” Tong Siqing stated logically. “So many years have passed. Did you genuinely look for that person?”

Imperial Advisor: “…”

No.

Tong Siqing: “Now, I have found her myself.”

Imperial Advisor: ???

Tong Siqing leaned against Shi Zhihua: “It’s her.”

Imperial Advisor: ???

This isn’t a made-up story? She was actually abandoned?

The Imperial Advisor almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. She thought, This must be my bad luck. But it wasn’t irreversible.

She carefully considered the implications and turned to look at Tong Siqing.

Yes, I admit that when I first found Tong Siqing, I intended to use her. But when I found her, she was dirty and understood nothing. I taught her so many things step by step.

Doesn’t that deserve gratitude?

Shi Zhihua knew what she was thinking and preemptively spoke: “Imperial Advisor, do you have a preference for picking up people, then falling into self-pity, believing you’ve done a great act of kindness, and then desperately trying to control the other person, forcing them to follow your every command without any independent thought?”

Raising a pure, innocent girl, then enjoying the process of being revered and followed, and finally, pathologically possessing the other person completely.

The Imperial Advisor did not deny it. She turned back: “Prime Minister You, search your heart. Don’t you harbor the same thought? Are you possessing my person because you genuinely love her, or because you see her as sensible and obedient, wanting to acquire such a dependent?”

Shi Zhihua searched her heart—She had both.

Of course, the most important thing was that Tong Siqing was her only attachment in the path of mortals. Only they knew each other was a real existence, a reliable emotional anchor.

It was like two people walking hand-in-hand down a dark path, surrounded by monsters and spirits during the night parade of a hundred demons, and they were the only two normal people.

In most cases, these two normal people would naturally gravitate towards each other, wouldn’t they?

Was it strange for feelings to develop after such prolonged interaction?

Moreover…

Shi Zhihua thought, This is my meal. Whether I want to eat her or possess her, it makes no difference.

Following my own desires is a very normal thing.

The Imperial Advisor continued to sow discord. She said to Tong Siqing: “You were abandoned by her once, which means there will be a second and third time. She doesn’t truly love you. Do you know that she is also controlling you, just like me?”

Tong Siqing nodded, then turned to Shi Zhihua and asked the exact words: “Are you controlling me?”

Shi Zhihua: “Yes, of course.”

Tong Siqing indicated she understood, then turned back to the Imperial Advisor: “Now I’ve asked clearly. It is indeed so.”

Imperial Advisor: “…”

There was a moment of silence and awkwardness.

A moment later, the Imperial Advisor asked confusedly: “Being controlled, being stripped of your freedom, don’t you feel sad and angry?”

“I do. I’ll be a little unhappy, but I won’t take it to heart,” Tong Siqing explained specifically, afraid of being misunderstood. “If Zhihua does this to me, I will be very happy.”

Imperial Advisor: ???

What kind of peculiar fetish is this?

Shi Zhihua was also shocked. I just said that casually. Why did she accept it?

“She used to make me do things I didn’t particularly like every night, making me feel breathless and slightly uncomfortable,” Tong Siqing recalled. “But I wouldn’t refuse her, because only at those times would she hold me like before and never abandon me again.”

Shi Zhihua paused.

Since the rabbit’s birth, she had spared her life and had been her companion almost every day.

After the girl transformed into human form, during the time she couldn’t walk, Shi Zhihua carried her everywhere.

She didn’t think much of it, but she hadn’t expected Tong Siqing to be so fixated on this matter.

Even when they finally engaged in intimate acts, the girl wasn’t thinking of anything else, but a simple embrace.

Shi Zhihua had once thought Tong Siqing was addicted to it, so she devoted herself to pleasing her.

Now it seems…

The other person merely wanted an embrace, like before.

To relive that moment, she was even willing to utter such foolish words about being controlled.

The rabbit doesn’t even know what ‘being controlled’ means. She is such an idiot.

Shi Zhihua corrected her: “In the future, speak your mind directly. Don’t beg for a hug in such a humble manner. Being controlled is a very lowly and shameful thing. You absolutely must not do this.”

Tong Siqing asked: “Why not?”

Shi Zhihua: “Because it’s despicable and shameless, like the Imperial Advisor here, and will be scorned by others.”

Imperial Advisor: “…”

Shi Zhihua: “If you don’t believe me, I can let you try the true taste of being controlled. Then you’ll know not to speak carelessly.”

Tong Siqing looked a little expectant: “That’s wonderful.”

Shi Zhihua: ???

Imperial Advisor: ???

Tong Siqing saw their strange expressions and immediately changed her words, saying—”That’s good.”
