The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 101

Chapter 101

When Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen finally had some free time after a busy period at the Xianning Sect, the first thing he did was check on his daughter in the dimensional space.

Just one look, and he was astonished.

Although it was only the path of mortals, Shi Zhihua had made it anything but ordinary. When Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen looked, she had already usurped the throne and made his daughter the Imperial Advisor. The original Emperor and Imperial Advisor had been bundled off to another location due to some past grudges.

Sheng Wen: ???

He admitted he had underestimated Shi Zhihua before, which was why the dimensional space didn’t have a particularly convoluted or turbulent backdrop. More importantly, he had only wanted his daughter to safely pass through the path of mortals and wasn’t overly concerned about her achieving great things.

Thus, the court in the dimensional space wasn’t that difficult to control.

But… wasn’t directly seizing power a bit excessive?

Beneath Sheng Wen’s jade-textured mask, his face was full of helplessness.

He stood with his hands behind his back, watching the court now controlled by Shi Zhihua from afar, thinking that this person was truly cunning. After she left the path of mortals, he should try to limit his daughter’s contact with her.

After all, his daughter was simple-minded and couldn’t outwit her.

Since she couldn’t outwit her, it was best not to arrange any future meetings between the two.

Sheng Wen thought this, but it was just a thought.

The real impetus that made him firmly decide to break the bond between the two wasn’t this, but what happened after the court was adjourned.

After court adjourned, Shi Zhihua, now the Empress, kept only Tong Siqing behind.

Sheng Wen thought she was going to discuss some official business and intended to stay and listen for a few sentences. He then noticed Shi Zhihua wearing a very… hard-to-describe expression.

Sheng Wen wasn’t sure what the expression meant. It seemed to be a small, secret signal they had agreed upon. Although he couldn’t understand it, he could see the change in Tong Siqing.

Upon seeing Shi Zhihua’s expression, Tong Siqing immediately ran to the Empress’s throne, reached around her neck, and sat down on her lap.

Sheng Wen: ???

Where is propriety? What is this behavior?

Sheng Wen’s mind went blank for a moment. He almost thought his eyes were deceiving him.

His daughter, who had been enlightened with some moral codes, shouldn’t be capable of such irreverent behavior.

But the reality was right before his eyes.

She did it, and delightedly lifted her foot for Shi Zhihua to see—on it was a golden chain, only visible when her skirt was pulled back.

Sheng Wen: “…”

Shi Zhihua actually dared to openly bully his daughter?

Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen was instantly enraged and planned to punish this audacious person immediately.

A second later, his spell froze in his palm.

Because he heard Shi Zhihua ask his daughter—”Don’t you find wearing this uncomfortable?”

Tong Siqing replied: “Not at all uncomfortable. I love it. It would be even better if I didn’t have to attend court and could stay with you all day.”

Shi Zhihua refused seriously: “No. You came to the path of mortals to learn the most basic skills of being human. You need to focus on the people, study diligently in court, so you can achieve great things after leaving the path of mortals.”

Sheng Wen: “…”

Hearing this, this Shi Zhihua seems quite proper? Then why is his daughter behaving this way?

Sheng Wen didn’t understand.

“My heart feels empty. I need your hug to feel better,” Tong Siqing was very clingy. She immediately unlocked one end of the chain, handed that end to Shi Zhihua, and said, “I want to be chained together with you.”

Shi Zhihua was utterly doting, practically indulging her every whim: “Alright! Whatever you say.”

Sheng Wen: “…”

No, he didn’t believe it. This absolutely wasn’t the daughter he had watched grow up.

Sheng Wen thought, I was only busy for a while. How could such a huge change have occurred in the dimensional space upon my return? My daughter has also become much more unfamiliar.

As a doting father who had high hopes for his daughter, he felt like the sky was collapsing.

In the past, during his daughter’s most difficult and vulnerable times, he watched over the rabbit at every step. He had thought that in the path of mortals, the dimensional space was completely under his control, and nothing would go wrong. Who knew that with a brief turn of his head, everything would be turned upside down?

Sheng Wen was heartbroken and deeply remorseful.

Tong Siqing on the side was still cuddling with Shi Zhihua.

Sheng Wen watched, filled with disappointment.

Shi Zhihua held Tong Siqing without a care: “When will the little rabbit be born?”

Tong Siqing touched her belly: “In a few more days. It must be born this time. I was so sad when the last one was lost.”

Shi Zhihua: “Good. And this time, you still want a daughter?”

Tong Siqing: “Yes! With big eyes, soft hair…”

Sheng Wen: ???

Wait? Where did these two get a daughter?

The mask on Sheng Wen’s face almost cracked. He tried to check his daughter’s pulse and found… there were actually signs of a happy pulse?

Sheng Wen: “…”

The old father was about to lose his mind.

Shi Zhihua, on the throne wearing the imperial robe, was even more captivating with her beautiful eyes. She smiled faintly, studying the rabbit in her arms, then gently kneaded her lower back repeatedly.

She knew that spot was the most stimulating.

Tong Siqing often couldn’t bear it. If continuously teased, she would enter a delusional state and utter some foolish words. Immediately after, her belly would swell.

Initially, Shi Zhihua didn’t quite understand this behavior. The truth behind the previous false pregnancy was uncovered the rabbit had stuffed clothing near her belly. Later, Shi Zhihua figured out a pattern. Tong Siqing, being a rabbit, would experience a false pregnancy, and after the false pregnancy, some extremely realistic conditions would occur such as the belly swelling and reduced enthusiasm for eating.

Shi Zhihua had skillfully mastered this routine.

She had also given orders to search the world for a little girl that met the girl’s preference.

In the dimensional space, the whole world revolved around the rabbit. As long as she wished it, many things could be accomplished.

Just like when they had kidnapped the Imperial Advisor and left the palace.

Someone had blocked their path midway.

Shi Zhihua dismounted the carriage and saw it was the current Empress.

The Empress usually didn’t care about such trivial matters, yet she had rushed there to intercept them.

Later, Shi Zhihua learned the backstory.

In the dimensional space, the immortal, to ensure his daughter would never want for food or clothing, had deliberately fabricated a backstory: The Imperial Advisor had once found a girl, who was actually the princess of an enemy country. After raising her, the princess, in return for kindness, had snatched her away to her own country and honored her as the Imperial Advisor. However, the Imperial Advisor considered this a betrayal and no longer acknowledged the past. Later, while the Empress was at the summer palace, the Imperial Advisor found Tong Siqing, taught her step by step, and revered her as the noble High Priestess.

This story was a cliché plot taken from a folk tale, but it fulfilled the rules of the path of mortals’ trial.

It had to have grudges, human relationships, and a proper progression…

The rabbit was just undergoing a trial. These matters were somewhat related to her, but not greatly so, ensuring her safe passage through the path of mortals.

With Shi Zhihua’s intervention, she later logically packed up the Imperial Advisor and the Empress and tossed them out.

It was perfect and presented no difficulty.

Shi Zhihua also understood that she was currently in the dimensional space, and everything was favorable. She was also taking advantage of the rabbit’s glory, using it to pass through the path of mortals.

After arranging everything in the path of mortals, they thought the trial would be completed naturally.

But the path of mortals never seemed to end.

Shi Zhihua thought it might require going through the entire cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

But with so much time left, it was inevitably boring, so she entertained the rabbit with various games.

As long as the other party wanted to play, she would join in.

Only…

This rabbit had quite a variety of tricks, truly living up to the saying of the cunning rabbit having three burrows. Shi Zhihua was simply amazed.

What shocked her the most was Tong Siqing’s profound delight in being restrained by her. For example, she would seek out gold and jade cages that fit the two of them, or ropes of just barely sufficient length…

Shi Zhihua doted on her and was naturally willing to play along.

Shi Zhihua had considered that if it were anyone else, she would certainly scold them for being shameless or making unreasonable demands. But since this person was the rabbit she had raised, everything was different.

When the other party handed the chain to her, Shi Zhihua hadn’t even exerted force to grasp it. She had to rely on the girl to help her curl her fingers to hold the segment of the chain.

The chain rattled softly, its sound clear and crisp.

Shi Zhihua was somewhat distracted. She turned to look at Tong Siqing.

She truly is a transformed rabbit. How can she be so lovable? Shi Zhihua only needed to look at that sweet and wayward face to know she was completely powerless against her.

For a person who suited her so perfectly, even if she made a small mistake, Shi Zhihua couldn’t bring herself to be angry. She was willing to unconditionally indulge her. To hell with rules, laws, and equal treatment! After all, the preference was personal, not objective. Whatever the girl wanted was fine.

She simply loved watching her.

Shi Zhihua was quite unreasonable in matters like this.

She gently bit the rabbit’s ear: “Fortunately, we are not truly monarch and subject. If we were in the mortal world, I fear I would be a fatuous ruler corrupted by a beautiful concubine.”

Tong Siqing: “I am not beautiful, nor can I be a clever official.”

Shi Zhihua whispered: “It doesn’t matter. I can force you to be a clever official.”

Tong Siqing still said earnestly: “But I really am not clever.”

“No more ‘buts’…” Shi Zhihua stopped her from talking back by directly kissing her. “Clever here means knowing how to discern the ruler’s heart and making me, the Empress, completely satisfied.”

Tong Siqing: “I can do that.”

Shi Zhihua: “You can?”

You can’t do anything.

I’ll have to do it.

She thought this as she trapped Tong Siqing on the throne.

Sheng Wen, flicking his sleeve, left.

As a Heavenly Venerable, he truly couldn’t accept such a setback.

It must be that his daughter was led astray by a demon.

His daughter couldn’t possibly become like this! It’s all Shi Zhihua’s fault!

Sheng Wen was furious. His steps were slightly unsteady as he walked. He thought, I must create some trouble for Shi Zhihua. Even if she wants to cultivate in the future, she will give up the idea herself.

Being near vermin makes one verminous. After leaving the path of mortals, he would never let his daughter meet this person again.

What kind of behavior is this!

Sheng Wen had initially approved of this fated bond. If he hadn’t seen them playing so wildly and absurdly, he wouldn’t have been a spoiler.

Fortunately, this is only the path of mortals and hasn’t truly become reality.

There’s still time to salvage the situation.

Sheng Wen’s pale gray eyes narrowed slightly, and the surrounding air pressure dropped by eight degrees. He waved his sleeve in the air, setting a trap.
