The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 61

Chapter 61

So it was the little golden snake after all. Shi Zhihua finally felt relieved.

However, Xiuzhu was incredibly jarring to her eyes. The sight of his pale face instantly put Shi Zhihua in a bad mood.

And why shouldn’t Xiuzhu feel the same?

Ever since he realized the other party was lying to him, Xiuzhu didn’t dare to trust Shi Zhihua anymore. He always felt that Shi Zhihua had tricked Tong Siqing, which was why Tong Siqing was so deeply involved.

The two of them averted their gazes, neither giving the other a pleasant look.

At this moment, the person in Tong Siqing’s arms also couldn’t hold on any longer. She instantly reverted from human form to the golden snake and “whoosh” darted into Tong Siqing’s sleeve.

The golden snake was like a child who was afraid of strangers, instantly hiding but not completely. A moment later, she poked her head out with her little dragon horns, propping up a small corner of Tong Siqing’s sleeve and stealthily peeking outside.

It must be said that the little golden snake, when transformed into human form, didn’t look very clever, appearing weak and helpless. But once she turned back into a little snake, she immediately revealed her true nature. Just like when she cocked her tail to bully the Meridian Gate Bell, she started acting recklessly, relying on the fact that she was the Demon Lord’s most cherished spiritual pet.

Perhaps because her human form didn’t look very imposing, this time, when she transformed back into the golden snake, she once again regarded herself as the unrivaled, majestic, and domineering number one fierce beast under the Demon Lord’s command.

Before anyone could react, she lunged at the only unfamiliar person present.

The small bulge in Tong Siqing’s sleeve suddenly collapsed. A slender little snake “whoosh” shot out and headed straight for Xiuzhu’s face.

Tong Siqing: “Aiy!”

Unfortunately, she couldn’t stop it. By the time she realized it, the little golden snake had already bitten Xiuzhu’s nose.

Everyone: “…”

The little snake was unruly. When she bit down, the golden snake’s body was still brazenly arched in the air, like a golden hairpin stabbed into Xiuzhu’s nose, both frightening and comical.

Xiuzhu’s already pale face became even paler.

He looked down at the little snake on the tip of his nose, grabbed the other party’s tail, and tried to pull it off: “This is not your child, but a demon?”

The dignified Xianning Sect actually secretly harbors a snake demon?

If this got out, where would the Xianning Sect’s reputation be placed?

Xiuzhu’s face darkened. He used a little force and pulled the little snake again… but it didn’t move.

Xiuzhu: “…”

Tong Siqing explained to him: “It recognized me as its master. Even if it’s a little demon, I have to be responsible for raising it.”

Xiuzhu, with a straight golden snake perched on his nose, argued with her: “No, this is preposterous.”

Shi Zhihua was displeased. She condemned Xiuzhu: “What right do you have to manage her? Holy Text hasn’t even spoken. What qualifications do you have?”

“I have no qualifications,” Xiuzhu looked up. “Do you?”

Shi Zhihua: “Why wouldn’t I?”

The two of them disliked each other and argued for a long time. Then, they both looked at Tong Siqing and spoke in unison: “Do I have the qualifications or not?”

Since both of them asked at the same time, Tong Siqing answered for both: “Yes.”

Xiuzhu was satisfied, but Shi Zhihua was not.

Shi Zhihua said: “Can your Fifth Immortal Saint of Xianning overstep his authority to manage the First Immortal Saint?”

Xiuzhu sneered. Under his light-green sleeve, his fingers tightened. He seemed somewhat agitated: “Of course I can. Let alone her, even the Xianning Sect and all things under heaven must be managed by me.”

As soon as he said this, Shi Zhihua didn’t know how to respond. She looked at Tong Siqing in confusion: “Holy Text actually left such an ambitious person as an Immortal Saint?”

Xiuzhu: “Heh.”

Tong Siqing explained to Shi Zhihua: “He’s not human. Don’t bother arguing with him.”

Xiuzhu’s former air of audacity suddenly dissipated. He looked at Tong Siqing with some surprise: “…You?”

Not human.

Shi Zhihua was instantly immensely gratified to hear Tong Siqing scold him, because Tong Siqing rarely swore at people. This first time was to protect herself.

Not fierce at all. Very cute.

Shi Zhihua was extremely pleased and replied softly to Tong Siqing: “It’s alright. I’m not a petty person.”

Xiuzhu pulled at the little snake on the tip of his nose again, somewhat depressed: “Why won’t it let go? This little thing is so vengeful. Why keep it? To soak in wine?”

The little golden snake, upon hearing this, bit down harder. It became stiff like a golden hairpin, desperate to kill the other party with its tiny bite.

Xiuzhu had no choice but to ask Tong Siqing for help: “Siqing, quickly help me.”

“Oh, oh, alright.” Tong Siqing quickly went over to help him pull the little snake, comforting him as she pulled: “Relax. Don’t be so nervous. You’ve already been bitten anyway.”

Xiuzhu: “It’s not poisonous, is it?”

Tong Siqing: “I don’t know.”

Xiuzhu: “Didn’t you raise it all this time?”

Tong Siqing: “Yes, but I really don’t know if it’s poisonous or not. After all, I’ve never been bitten. Even when it hides in my chest, it won’t bite me.”

Xiuzhu: “…”

Shi Zhihua mocked him from the side: “Yes, of course, it’s poisonous. Don’t you know that the more colorful the snake, the more poisonous it is? If you have any important matters, hurry up and settle them. You might not survive much longer.”

Xiuzhu looked frail and sickly. His figure was as thin as a fine leaf, and his complexion was very pale. Shi Zhihua wasn’t deliberately exaggerating to scare him.

At this level, wouldn’t he just collapse upon contact?

Shi Zhihua’s palm ignited with a cluster of fire: “Anyway, being poisoned by a snake is a painful death. How about I give you a quick end?”

Xiuzhu: ???

She’s not even bothering to pretend anymore? She’s openly trying to kill me, even in front of Tong Siqing?

Is she really that bold?

So Tong Siqing will definitely stop her, right?

Xiuzhu shouted to stop her: “How dare you! I’m in the Que Chi Hall right now. Do you think you can kill someone in the Que Chi Hall?”

Shi Zhihua: “Why can’t I?”

Xiuzhu looked at Tong Siqing.

Tong Siqing quickly intervened to mediate the conflict: “It’s better if Zhihua doesn’t hurt him. This is the Que Chi Hall, after all. If someone dies here, my Father Venerable will scold me when he returns.”

Xiuzhu: ???

Although she stopped her, why does it sound so strange?

Is that the main point?

No, the main point is that I will die!

“Siqing, my destiny is already fragile. I can’t endure much torment,” Xiuzhu finally managed to remove the little snake, his heart almost freezing over. He looked at the people in the room with some dejection and said to Tong Siqing: “You know that I am petty. I’m afraid I will hold a grudge over today’s incident.”

Shi Zhihua reignited the fire: “It’s alright. This Venerable One will make sure you ‘have no future,’ so you won’t have to worry about being constantly distraught.”

Xiuzhu: ???

Tong Siqing sighed: “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were coming today.”

“Why shouldn’t I come? We used to be very close, spending the entire night together,” Xiuzhu retorted. “Why is it that when they came, I can’t come anymore?”

The words “entire night together”…

These four words directly enraged Shi Zhihua. She cast aside her playful mood and, without a word, threw a ball of fire, ready to kill Xiuzhu to silence him.

Xiuzhu was too slow to dodge and his sleeve was singed by the flames. The moment his sleeve caught fire, his whole body instantly ignited, plunging him into the firelight.

Shi Zhihua was bewildered. This person burned too quickly!

Even with strong flames, under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t catch fire so completely upon contact, right?

Shi Zhihua wasn’t originally this ruthless. Who knew that the other party would burst into flames the moment he touched fire?

Tong Siqing: !!!

She panicked and quickly shouted: “Save him! He is the immortal artifact Shi En Scroll! If he’s gone, my Father Venerable will be furious!”

Shi Zhihua: !!!

So “not human” meant this?

If he’s an immortal artifact, why didn’t you say so earlier! I wouldn’t have been jealous!

Xiuzhu, with his half-dead appearance, was actually the immortal artifact Shi En Scroll! The Shi En Scroll also transformed into human form?

Shi Zhihua only knew that Holy Text had stolen the Shi En Scroll. She never expected that the other party would not only not hide it but also directly consecrate it as an Immortal Saint, relying on the Shi En Scroll’s powerful document-memory ability to manage the disciples.

After learning the other party’s true identity, Shi Zhihua’s attitude immediately did a complete 180.

A moment ago, she wanted the other party to die quickly. Now, she was begging the other party not to die yet.

The emergence of an immortal artifact is extremely rare. It would take an unknown amount of time to wait for another immortal artifact to appear. If this one dies, the next one might not emerge for centuries or millennia.

That would be too detrimental to me.

Shi Zhihua summoned the little golden snake: “Quickly, extinguish these flames.”

The little golden snake was very obedient to her. As soon as she said this, the little golden snake grew larger, transforming into a small, horned golden dragon, and sprayed a continuous stream of pure water from its mouth, quickly extinguishing the flames on Xiuzhu’s body.

Xiuzhu: “…”

He was truly going to be tormented to death.

He was already short-lived and fragile. To encounter such a calamity just by coming to visit Tong Siqing was really bad luck.

Xiuzhu held a grudge. He looked at the Demon Lord with hatred, thinking, Isn’t the other party very worried that I will tie a knot in Tong Siqing’s red thread of destiny?

Very well.

This grudge is settled.

I will go and tie a knot in Tong Siqing’s red thread of destiny immediately.

Shi Zhihua instantly saw through the other party’s ill intent. Her expression darkened: “How dare you!”

“What is there to dare?” Xiuzhu sneered, transforming and leaving. “Just wait and see. I’m going to tie a knot in Tong Siqing’s red thread of destiny right now.”

Tong Siqing: ???

Wait… you two are arguing, why are you targeting me?

Shi Zhihua also laughed in anger: “Go tie your knot then! If you tie a knot in her red thread of destiny, I will pluck out your red thread of destiny!”

Xiuzhu had already run off, leaving a highly provocative—Fine.

Tong Siqing: “…”

Wait… the Shi En Scroll doesn’t have a red thread of destiny! It’s not human. Why would it need that thing!

Tong Siqing truly wanted to cry but had no tears.

Even more tragically, she didn’t know where the Destiny Tree was! What should I do? How can I stop him?

“Zhihua, if my red thread of destiny is gone…” Tong Siqing said, “I won’t fall in love with anyone.”

Shi Zhihua turned back and asked her: “Do you know what love is? Do you love this Venerable One?”

Tong Siqing spoke truthfully: “But, I don’t know what love is.”

“Then there you go,” Shi Zhihua said indifferently. “Tying a knot is nothing. It won’t make any difference to the current situation.”

Because even if Tong Siqing didn’t know what love was, she couldn’t avoid being tormented by the other party every night.

Shi Zhihua said: “If you truly cut off all ties and attachments, this Venerable One will take the initiative more, be good to you, and spoil you. You just need to maintain a cold expression and lie down.”

Tong Siqing: QvQ

“But, if he messes up the red thread of destiny, I might fall in love with others!” Tong Siqing said. “Why is the location of the Destiny Tree a forbidden zone? It’s because once the red thread of destiny is altered, many people’s red threads will become chaotic. At that time, many people who are completely unrelated will fall in love with each other.”

Shi Zhihua: !!!

This darned red thread of destiny is that powerful?

Although she hadn’t heard of it, it didn’t stop her from being frightened by Tong Siqing’s words.

“Then… hurry and chase him!” Shi Zhihua finally became anxious. She said to Tong Siqing: “Release a message to all the Xianning Sect, saying that the Demon Lord is at the Destiny Tree.”

Tong Siqing: “Why should I say that?”

Shi Zhihua: “If everyone knows that this Venerable One is there, all the powerful experts will definitely try their best to blockade the Destiny Tree. That way, Xiuzhu won’t be able to get in, and with the area surrounded, no one will dare to touch the Destiny Tree.”

Tong Siqing thought there was some logic to this.

She was the First Immortal Saint and had the authority to send a message to everyone. So, she transmitted a message to everyone above Xianning: “The Demon Realm’s Venerable Lord is going to the Destiny Tree! Everyone, hurry and catch her! There will be a reward for capturing her!”

As soon as the words fell, all the disciples and Immortals boiled over with excitement!

This is the Demon Lord! The great wicked arch-demon has actually come to the Xianning territory. This kind of provocation, isn’t it a chance for great merit delivered to their doorstep?

The wide square below the Xianning Hall was filled with excited disciples rushing toward the Destiny Tree to see the Demon Lord.

Everyone believed that the powerful experts would go to intercept her, because she was the Demon Lord! So the disciples swarmed forward recklessly.

I heard the Demon Lord is the most beautiful woman under heaven! If we don’t see her now, we won’t get another chance!

Everyone rushed off in a throng, eager to witness the excitement.

But what these disciples didn’t know was that their Masters, Sect Leaders, Peak Lords, Elders, Immortal Masters… those powerful experts with some ability, all retreated together, not daring to go.

Those most capable of opposing the Demon Lord were hesitant. They thought, Since the Demon Lord has come to our door, it means she is confident. Moreover, the Heavenly Venerable is currently absent, and she is unrivaled under heaven. Even if we go, we’d be throwing our lives away. It’s better not to go and pretend this is just a rumor.

This created a very awkward situation—

The very novice disciples all went to watch the excitement, while those who were capable and had authority all stayed put.

The young disciples crowded the forbidden zone, looking at each other:

“Where is the Demon Lord?”

“I don’t see her!”

“Could it be false information?”

“Impossible! Siqing Immortal Saint wouldn’t lie to us!”

Several powerful experts and Immortal Saints were individually worried sick. After some discussion, since the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable was absent, they decided to rely on Siqing Immortal Saint, asking her to lead them to see what was going on.

After all, the message was released by Siqing Immortal Saint.

They would just go and ask her.

A group of white-haired old men, their faces wrinkled with worry, sighed repeatedly as they walked toward the Que Chi Hall.

Que Chi Hall.

The Demon Lord Shi Zhihua was completely calm. She said: “You released my message, but I’m not in the forbidden zone. How will you explain this to everyone?”

Tong Siqing thought for a moment: “That’s easy. It’s only a trouble for Zhihua to show her face near the forbidden zone later, and then I’ll pretend to defeat you. Wouldn’t that be fine?”

“Good~” Shi Zhihua dragged out the sound, spoiling her. “This Venerable One will act with you, my little Immortal.”

The two smiled at each other and walked out, feeling relaxed and happy.

Shi Zhihua changed back into her Demon Lord’s attire. Her fiery red robes were flamboyant and beautiful. She confidently used her demonic energy to push open the main door of the Que Chi Hall…

And saw the sighing old men at the doorway.

The powerful experts: “…”

Shi Zhihua: “…”
