The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Although Shi Zhihua left in a hurry, her heart was content.

For no other reason than that she had tricked Xianning once, fooled Holy Text a few times, and run off with his daughter. She was simply happy about it.

As the Demon Lord, her favorite things to do were destroying beauty, humiliating gentlemen, and pleasing herself. From the first moment she saw Tong Siqing, all three of these delights happened to come together by chance, which was profoundly satisfying.

Moreover, as a long-time nemesis, Shi Zhihua felt much more at ease thinking about Holy Text’s displeasure.

Of course, this was under the premise that she didn’t know Holy Text was about to sabotage her.

Not long after she left, Holy Text went to the half of the Mirage Mirror.

When he first sealed Tong Siqing’s malevolence, he deliberately sealed her evil into the half that was supposed to be destroyed. Who would have thought that the Mirage Mirror was not destroyed but instead survived for many years? This created a very difficult situation—when the half that was wandering outside encountered Tong Siqing, it was equivalent to the two fragmented mirrors both appearing in the world. Then, when Tong Siqing encountered the half containing the sealed malevolence, the seal would be opened.

The malevolence would be gradually released…

It would even leak into the half in the Fu Yun Hall.

The seal Holy Text placed back then was for the entire Mirage Mirror. So, when the half outside was opened, it was harmless. Any influence on Tong Siqing would be slow.

If fully opened.

The influence would be around the clock.

Shi Zhihua didn’t notice that Tong Siqing had a problem until a few days later.

The reason was this: they were originally going to the North Sea, but Qing Lin suggested they return to the Yu Yin Palace first to handle its affairs before setting off.

Shi Zhihua agreed. After all, it had been a long time since she returned, and she wondered if the Gu King had been successfully cultivated.

She might as well go back and clean up the remnants of that failed plot.

The result was…

As soon as the Demon Lord and the others returned, they found that the formation of the Yu Yin Palace had been forcefully blown up.

Qing Lin was shocked: “Are there actually strange and talented people in the world who can break this formation? That shouldn’t be. No one should be able to crack it, right?”

Shi Zhihua looked at it and concluded: “It wasn’t unlocked; it was forcefully blasted open with internal energy.”

Su Rong: “Such profound internal energy? Who is this divine figure?”

This is too incredible.

Directly using internal energy to blast open a formation. That’s both arrogant and powerful. This must be an expert above the Immortal Saint level, right?

Everyone was puzzled.

Shi Zhihua sighed: “It seems the Gu King escaped. That traitor actually has such capability. It’s a humiliation for him to stay in the Demon Realm.”

The group entered the Yu Yin Palace, initially thinking that most of the guards inside must be gone. Who would have thought that most of the people inside were still there.

Not dead?

That traitor didn’t clear the area when he ran off?

Shi Zhihua was somewhat curious. She raised an eyebrow slightly and called over a ghost-masked guard, asking: “What happened? Tell this Venerable One in detail.”

The ghost-masked guard knelt down trembling: “Holy Text Heavenly Venerable has been here.”

Shi Zhihua: ???

Everyone fell silent. They had just returned from the Xianning Sect, thinking they had caused quite a stir, only to realize that Holy Text had just left the Yu Yin Palace.

Shi Zhihua’s face instantly darkened: “What did he do?”

Ghost-masked guard: “A long time ago, the Huanzong Succubus Clan attacked. We were unable to defend ourselves and were almost completely wiped out. Fortunately, the Heavenly Venerable timely intervened and protected the Yu Yin Palace.”

“Being wiped out means you are all useless,” Shi Zhihua ground her back teeth and snorted softly. “You call him ‘Heavenly Venerable’ quite smoothly. Why? If you truly respect the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable, why don’t you follow your Heavenly Venerable back to Xianning?”

The ghost-masked guard dared not speak further and could only silently accept the label of “useless.”

Shi Zhihua’s thoughts were complex. She walked towards the sleeping quarters while listening to the guards’ report.

The whole story was laid out. She didn’t miss any minute detail. Finally, upon reaching the garden, she had sorted out the whole sequence of events.

“Then what was the original reason for Holy Text to come to the Yu Yin Palace?” Qing Lin asked. “He couldn’t possibly have heard of the succubus attack, traveled thousands of miles from Xianning on purpose, and helped us quell the internal rebellion, could he?”

Shi Zhihua raised her eyes: “What do you think? Is that possible?”

Of course not. How could a person like Holy Text do such a good deed?

Shi Zhihua was more inclined to think ill of him. She said: “Perhaps it was to seize the opportunity to grab the Hatred Suppression, or perhaps there was someone in the Yu Yin Palace worth his trip?”

Both were very possible.

However, she had brought both of those things with her.

When Shi Zhihua left, she deliberately told everyone that she was not interested in the immortal artifact and pretended to leave the Hatred Suppression in the Yu Yin Palace, precisely to attract those with malicious intent to fight for it.

Immediately after, the Succubus Clan fell for it.

Maybe Holy Text also fell for it because of this.

There was another possibility…

Shi Zhihua glanced at the very obedient Tong Siqing beside her, squinted slightly, and deliberately asked her: “Siqing, perhaps your Father Venerable came to take you back.”

Tong Siqing shook her head: “No. My Father Venerable rarely bothers with me.”

When Shi Zhihua heard this, she knew the child was being naive again.

Who in this world doesn’t know that Holy Text is protective of his own, showering her with all good things as if they cost nothing, wishing he could give all the beautiful things in the world to his daughter?

Tong Siqing actually said Holy Text didn’t care about her?

Isn’t that a joke?

Shi Zhihua extended a slender index finger and poked Tong Siqing’s forehead: “You little ungrateful wretch. If your Father Venerable heard that, he would probably be furious.”

Tong Siqing shook her head again: “My Father Venerable won’t be angry. His emotions don’t fluctuate much. He wouldn’t be troubled by such trivial matters.”

Although Shi Zhihua disliked Holy Text, hearing these remarks made her feel amused for Holy Text’s sake.

It serves him right for putting on airs and pretending to be cold. Now he’s suffering a backlash.

Shi Zhihua stood by a rock garden, unable to stop herself from laughing.

“Venerable One, is there another possibility…” Qing Lin thought for a moment and said, “A while before that, when Siqing was showing everyone the moon, she happened to encounter those few people from the Xianning Sect who climbed the wall and attacked. She captured them and put them in the water dungeon. Could it be… that Holy Text came to rescue them?”

Shi Zhihua brushed the rough, dry rock garden with her fingertip and murmured: “You and Su Rong go to the water dungeon and take a look now. If those disciples escaped, maybe Holy Text came to rescue them. If they didn’t escape…”

If they didn’t escape, then Holy Text came to steal the immortal artifact and kidnap someone.

Shi Zhihua’s eyes darkened, and she unhappily tapped the rock garden with her knuckles.

Her mood was bad. Her subordinates only needed one glance to understand the Demon Lord’s meaning, and they all quietly withdrew.

Only Tong Siqing remained behind the Demon Lord.

Tong Siqing hadn’t spoken the whole time. She just followed Shi Zhihua, lightly winding her fingers around her sash.

Shi Zhihua was lost in thought. As she simmered in anger, she suddenly felt a bit of quietness beside her.

The atmosphere was a little off.

Shi Zhihua frowned. Just as she was about to turn around, she was suddenly embraced around the waist and pushed against the rock garden.

The rock garden was rough, and she instinctively gasped, about to push away the heavy-handed Tong Siqing in front of her.

Then.

Tong Siqing grabbed both her hands and pinned them against the rock garden.

Shi Zhihua: ???

Is she trying to rebel?

Because she hadn’t reacted in time, Shi Zhihua had no defense.

When she came back to her senses, she realized belatedly that Tong Siqing’s craziness this time was happening during the day.

This was very wrong.

Normally, Tong Siqing would become ferocious in bed, but it was strictly limited to nighttime, especially nights with a large moon.

During the day, the other party was like a very obedient little rabbit, delicate and soft, letting herself be manipulated. Even her voice was soft and gentle.

Yes, that was how she was supposed to be.

Not like this now as if she had been suppressing herself for eight hundred years without touching her.

Shi Zhihua struggled and felt her waist starting to protest again. It hurt when she moved, which made her speechless. Being speechless made her want to curse, but when she went to curse, she found herself without the words.

Her temper was indeed not very good, but she never lost it with Tong Siqing.

But every time, Tong Siqing’s actions consistently pushed the limits of her tolerance, leaving her unable to hit or resist, only to explode internally.

Shi Zhihua didn’t know what to say: “Why is your strength so great? You crazy rabbit.”

The crazy rabbit ignored her and, as if possessed, leaned in to kiss her.

Lips brushed her neck. Shi Zhihua helplessly turned her head slightly: “What’s wrong with you in broad daylight?”

First, this was the garden.

Second, it was daytime.

Third, people were passing by not far away.

Fourth, she was the Supreme Demon Lord.

On the last point, Shi Zhihua herself felt a lack of confidence, because Tong Siqing seemed never to care about this aspect, not taking her title seriously at all.

Truly audacious.

Shi Zhihua squeezed her slender and soft wrist, silently leaning against the rock garden and letting the other party indulge her madness.

She initially thought that after Tong Siqing got this phase out of her system, she would return to normal. Then, she would close the door and properly chastise the other party.

To teach this crazy rabbit a lesson for disrespecting her.

Shi Zhihua thought resentfully, letting out a sharp inhale.

The crazy rabbit was biting her. Saliva soaked the area near her collar.

Shi Zhihua frowned and looked down at her.

Seriously?

Why was Tong Siqing so impatient? It wasn’t even spring yet?

Shi Zhihua looked up at the large sun overhead. The glaring sunlight dazzled her eyes. She slightly closed her eyes, then opened them again because of the pain in her collarbone.

Her eyes were a noble and magnificent dark red, appearing deep at night. But when looking directly at the sun, they had an underlying kōn-guri (deep blue/purple) color, like a glowing gem, displaying different hues under different light.

Shi Zhihua became contemplative. She raised her hand and stroked Tong Siqing’s hair…

Even though the other party often acted this way, she always habitually indulged her.

Just like Holy Text, who clearly knew Tong Siqing was naive but was still willing to put on airs, not explicitly showing the love of a father. He chose a silent form of fatherly love. Even if Tong Siqing misunderstood, he didn’t seek to clear the air.

His goodness to his daughter didn’t require reciprocation or explanation.

Shi Zhihua let out a breath.

She thought, “And haven’t I been the same way?”

From initially uncontrollably taking Tong Siqing into her heart to progressively giving up her boundaries.

Hadn’t she been the same way?

Initially, she said she hated pure and innocent women. After meeting Tong Siqing, she was decisively won over by the other party’s innocence and became deeply enamored with that trait.

Later, she realized she was fond of women with this kind of personality. Who would have thought that Tong Siqing would suddenly transform, becoming no longer simple and innocent?

The rabbit was good and beautiful. Even if she became a lustful and crazy rabbit one day, Shi Zhihua would let the other party play out her antics.

She then realized—She didn’t actually have a fixed preference for pure and innocent women. She liked Tong Siqing the person. Even if the other party showed a malevolent side, she would choose to accommodate her, rather than scold her for changing.

Shi Zhihua leaned back against the rock garden and muttered to herself: “This Venerable One spoils you, loves you, and trusts you. Don’t let it go to your head.”

Tong Siqing finally slowed her actions and looked at her with beautiful eyes.

Shi Zhihua was at her limit and explained more directly: “I mean, take it easy on me. There are still people passing by not far away.”
