The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 80

Chapter 80

“No time to explain! Let’s go!”

The Shi Zhihua from outside the Mirage Domain grabbed the Immortal Saint Siqing inside the Mirage Domain without another word. Before the other party could react, she intended to take the person and rush out of the Mirage Domain.

The Immortal Saint Siqing was full of question marks, not understanding who had gone crazy.

When did I get a lover? When was I trapped in a Mirage Domain?

Is the other party crazy, or is she lying?

While she was still in a daze, she was pulled by the other party. Her dark hair fluttered in the wind, and she was yanked away.

“How dare you, bold Demon Lord! You don’t even conceal your monstrous demonic energy and dare to provoke my Xianning Sect,” the Immortal Saint Siqing shouted into the wind while trying to struggle. “Where are you taking me?”

“Don’t be afraid. Your Father Venerable is already waiting at the North Sea Cloud Sea. Once we are out, he will definitely have a way to restore you,” Shi Zhihua didn’t explain much, only thinking that Tong Siqing might have been bewitched by the Mirage Domain, causing her to forget herself. “If you don’t believe me, wouldn’t you know if you just look outside? When have I ever lied to you?”

The Immortal Saint Siqing frowned: “Are we really lovers?”

“Yes. You never tasted anything good in the Xianning Sect. Later, when you came to the Yu Yin Palace, you ate only sweets all day,” Shi Zhihua gave her an example. “Also, you can’t keep anything alive. You even performed the act of burying a snake in the dirt and almost killed this Venerable One’s Golden Snake.”

The Immortal Saint Siqing: “…”

It’s a coincidence that I just recently pinned a black cat into the soil to reflect.

Sure enough, the fact that I can’t keep any cats, dogs, flowers, or plants alive will never change, no matter what.

She sighed, feeling slightly convinced.

But she turned her head to look at the woman beside her—This woman who claimed to be her lover was very beautiful, the most beautiful she had ever seen in the world. The other party wore short red armor, her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her dark hair was adorned with many extravagant decorations. She clearly looked like someone who indulged in extreme luxury on a daily basis.

Would I actually like a person like this?

As a disciple of Xianning, her aesthetic preference was generally for the clean and gentle type. How could she possibly like a seductive woman from the Demon Realm like this?

The Immortal Saint Siqing looked again. That face of the other party… no matter from what angle, it was stunning. The other party had a pair of long, slender eyebrows, very similar to the gentle brows that women from water towns liked to draw. But when these eyebrows grew on her face, they were not gentle at all. Instead, they added a few touches of cold allure. Coupled with the dark red eyes beneath the long eyelashes, it made her appear even more sharp and beautiful… Her nose bridge was high and straight, the best-looking nose I have ever seen… And those thin, cool red lips, I wonder what they look like when she smiles…

This Demon Lord is quite good-looking after all.

The Immortal Saint Siqing suddenly understood a little. Facing such a face, I would likely be attracted. If the other party had more excellent virtues and was willing to obey the rites and regulations of Xianning, it wasn’t impossible for her to marry the other party and bring her home.

“But my cat is still in the dirt,” the Immortal Saint Siqing thought for a moment and said, “If I leave the Mirage Domain, what will happen to it? Will it die?”

The air was full of morning mist. The two traveled quickly, and Shi Zhihua was very anxious in her heart. She didn’t have much patience to turn back and talk to her about these trivial matters.

“Cat?” Shi Zhihua was instinctively displeased. “You actually kept another cat behind this Venerable One’s back?”

Although she knew this was the Mirage Domain, Shi Zhihua was still a little dissatisfied.

“Forget it. I’ll send a message to my Father Venerable and ask him to help take care of the cat.” On the verge of leaving, the Immortal Saint Siqing left a message for Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen, and then left the Mirage Domain with Shi Zhihua.

The real Tong Siqing was still waiting in the Yu Yin Palace.

It was morning.

It was another day of doing nothing. She was bored, basking in the sun under a tree in the Yu Yin Palace. After a long time, she noticed that the Yu Yin Palace was quite noisy today.

Soon after, Qing Lin suddenly arrived.

The first thing she asked was where the Demon Lord had gone.

“I don’t know?” Tong Siqing was startled and stood up. “The Demon Lord is gone? But she was still in the Yu Yin Palace last night.”

Qing Lin was very anxious. The Demon Lord had planned some things for today. If she wasn’t around, these matters would be difficult to handle.

What should they do?

“How could she be gone?” Tong Siqing was a little confused. “Even if your Venerable One was leaving, she would definitely tell you.”

After all, Qing Lin was the Demon Lord’s confidante.

Qing Lin looked serious: “It is precisely because the Venerable One didn’t inform me that I feel something is very wrong.”

Tong Siqing analyzed for her: “The Venerable One usually only secretly avoids you and Surong when she is playing tricks, setting up schemes, or going to do something easy and fun. So, don’t worry. She will definitely be back soon. Maybe she was just delayed by something.”

But she was wrong.

Everyone waited for a full hour, but the Demon Lord still hadn’t returned. The entire Yu Yin Palace was almost in a complete state of chaos.

Tong Siqing was puzzled. She sat under the shade of a tree and began to recall her conversation with the Demon Lord last night.

From last night’s conversation, the Demon Lord seemed to have discovered her true identity.

But… The other party clearly said she wouldn’t go to the Xianning Sect to look for the person destined to form a bond with her recently.

Could it be that…

The Demon Lord was being contradictory again?

Tong Siqing became more vigilant. After thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that this Demon Lord had once analyzed Zhihua for her, saying that both of them were the kind of people who were contradictory, arrogant, and stubborn. They would occasionally speak sarcastically and even deliberately say the opposite of what they meant.

Tong Siqing slapped her palm, understanding.

Go to the Xianning Sect!

I will go to the Xianning Sect and see if the Demon Lord was detained by them.

Perfect. Since coming to the Mirage Domain, I haven’t visited the other me yet. I can also go to the Fuyun Hall to see my Father Venerable and check if he is doing well in the Mirage Domain.

Tong Siqing acted immediately upon her thoughts and quickly packed up to depart.

Xianning Sect, Fuyun Hall.

Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen received a message from his daughter.

The general meaning was: An individual claiming to be my lover suddenly appeared from the outside and wants to take me out to see the real world. What she said sounded quite real, so your daughter intends to follow her out to take a look. Father Venerable, please don’t worry. Even if you worry, it doesn’t matter; your daughter doesn’t know anyway.

Oh, right. Help me take care of the cat in the Quechi Hall. The cat is in the dirt. Please take care of it and don’t let it die.

Sheng Wen: “…”

Everyone saw Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen on the main seat of the Fuyun Hall tightly clench his fists. The veins on the back of his hands stood out, as if he would smash the armrest with a single punch in the next second, shattering his seat.

Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen rarely got angry.

This seemed to be the first time.

What kind of major event caused such a huge burst of anger?

The Fifth Immortal Saint, Xiuzhu, immediately stepped forward, asking Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen what had happened.

Sheng Wen’s voice was cold and deep, almost carrying shards of ice: “My daughter ran off with someone! Siqing ran off with someone!”

Xiuzhu: “…”

Ah, this.

This… is indeed very infuriating.

But Immortal Saint Siqing is also confused. Why did she suddenly run off with someone?

“This Venerable One has been constantly guarding against this, worrying that she would be tempted by a demonic villain and lose her true self. Who knew she didn’t encounter a villain but directly ran off with an outsider, with no set return date,” Sheng Wen was almost furious to death. His mask almost shattered. He said, “Xiuzhu, do this one thing for this Venerable One. Investigate the cause and effect on her again and see if there are any new changes.”

Xiuzhu bowed, cupping his sleeves: “Yes, Heavenly Venerable.”

No one would have expected that Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen had allowed the Scroll of Benevolence to transform into a human form and had even directly bestowed upon him the title of Immortal Saint.

The world believed that the Scroll of Benevolence was hidden by Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen, so no one suspected Xiuzhu.

As the Scroll of Benevolence, Xiuzhu could record or query the causes and effects of the world and even make some minor changes.

However, changing cause and effect required a great price. As an immortal artifact, he could rapidly decline, and his body would become frail. The greater the price paid, the closer he would be to death.

But what did that matter? He was an immortal artifact. It was only through the Heavenly Venerable’s teachings that he developed sentience and a human form. Even if he were to sacrifice himself, he would do so without regret.

He knelt on the ground, bending his spine. His clear and handsome body transformed into a scroll of cyan-green paper.

The scroll flashed with a gentle light in the air, and the scroll unfurled…

Cause and effect began to flow…

Sheng Wen coldly stared at the scroll in front of him. Just as he was looking at the cause and effect on Tong Siqing’s body, his vision suddenly blurred—the Scroll of Benevolence trembled violently and directly fell to the ground.

Sheng Wen: !!!

He instantly stood up and walked down quickly.

How did the Scroll of Benevolence suddenly disappear?!

As an immortal artifact that could occasionally glimpse Fate, the Scroll of Benevolence could not only predict things by looking at the cause and effect on someone’s body but also secretly make small alterations. In the past, Sheng Wen was always careful not to waste such an opportunity, so Xiuzhu’s body was relatively well and hadn’t suffered much damage.

If the untouchable boundary was approached, he, as the Heavenly Venerable, would immediately withdraw his hand, preventing both of them from suffering a backlash.

But.

This time, without any warning, the Scroll of Benevolence was simply gone!

Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen was horrified and quickly took action to rescue the immortal artifact.

There were two immortal artifacts that could glimpse Fate: one was the Scroll of Benevolence, and the other was the Phantom Mirror. However, the Phantom Mirror could only occasionally provide vague information and was completely inferior to the Scroll of Benevolence.

The Phantom Mirror could split and invert the spirit, soul, body, and mind, occasionally serving as a question-answering mirror, and the answers were not necessarily the truth. As for other uses, they had not yet been explored, so it had been shelved in the Fuyun Hall.

The entire benefit of the Scroll of Benevolence as an immortal artifact lay in this ability. Of course, different crafts have different specializations.

Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen always heavily relied on the Scroll of Benevolence and thus cared for it exceptionally well.

He managed to save the Scroll of Benevolence against all odds.

No matter how much cultivation was wasted.

Xiuzhu woke up and immediately grabbed the Heavenly Venerable’s robe. His first sentence was: “Do not form a bond!”

Sheng Wen frowned: “What is ‘do not form a bond’?”

“Immortal Saint Siqing will eventually meet the Demon Lord. You must absolutely prevent them from forming a bond,” Xiuzhu said. “This is a fateful entanglement of opposition.”

Sheng Wen thought it was a major event.

He breathed a sigh of relief, folded his hands behind his back, and said: “This Venerable One already knew this through the Phantom Mirror, which is why I have been so strict with her.”

He knew early on that his daughter was a person of Fate, and that the Demon Lord was a wicked seed of ten thousand evils. The two were naturally incompatible and could not form a bond.

That’s why he had always oppressed the Demon Realm. As long as Siqing showed any inclination to interact with the Demon Realm, he would personally sever the connection.

For so many years, it had been maintained very well.

He had taught his daughter to be cold and ruthless, just like him, her Father Venerable. Although she had compassion in her heart, she had never developed any other emotions for any specific person.

Siqing was his daughter, the supreme Immortal Saint of Xianning.

She did not need any emotions. She only needed to be well and be an Immortal Saint revered by all. One day, she would naturally ascend to the position of Heavenly Venerable.

Sheng Wen paced back to his seat. His cold silver robe brushed the floor. His sleeves were stiff, just like him, completely devoid of emotion.

“Alright, you’ve worked hard today. Withdraw,” he said to Xiuzhu below. “Go back and rest. Don’t ruin your body. This Venerable One will rely heavily on you in the future.”

Xiuzhu lowered his head: “Yes.”

He turned and left the Fuyun Hall. A breath was stuck in his chest, neither up nor down. He couldn’t describe the feeling.

What feelings could he have? He was just a pawn of Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen. Pawns are not supposed to have feelings. He understood that.

Just as he reached the outside, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was Immortal Saint Siqing!

Huh? Didn’t she leave?

“Siqing?” Xiuzhu walked over. “Why did you come back?”

Tong Siqing, who had just arrived at the Xianning Sect, was still a little confused, not understanding the meaning of his question. She weakly said “Ah,” opening her eyes wide to look at Xiuzhu. The question in her mind hadn’t lingered for a few seconds before it was replaced by another question.

“Xiuzhu, why is your body better?” Tong Siqing was pleasantly surprised. “I remember you were often half-dead. It’s a little unsettling to see you so healthy here.”

Xiuzhu was rather speechless: “Why are you cursing me?”

Tong Siqing: “I didn’t curse you!”

In her world, Xiuzhu’s body was always frail. Even a cough seemed to be enough to make him pass out. His face was as white as silk, and he was like a thin leaf. A gust of wind could blow him away.

Xiuzhu asked: “Are you going to the Fuyun Hall? Go in quickly. Your Father Venerable is about to be furious to death.”

Tong Siqing: “Ah?”

What happened in the Fuyun Hall?

Oh, oh, oh. I’m going now.

Tong Siqing walked quickly toward the Fuyun Hall, eventually breaking into a little run as she entered.

However, as soon as she entered, she was met with her Father Venerable’s extremely indifferent eyes.

Tong Siqing instantly didn’t dare to act rashly. Her hands and feet shrank back slightly.

The next second, a slap suddenly came from across the air. Before she could react, she was hit and fell to the ground.

“Father Venerable?” Tong Siqing’s eyes turned red. “Did I do something wrong?”

Sheng Wen’s voice and eyes were both cold: “You still know to come back?”

Tong Siqing: ???

Sheng Wen was extremely angry. He restrained his wrath and looked at her: “Also, this Venerable One has taught you not to cry. Crying is a sign of incompetence. You are the Immortal Saint of Xianning and will one day be the Heavenly Venerable who rules the world. How can you cry? You must be strong.”

Tong Siqing: ???

No, no. Although my Father Venerable is a little cold, he never said these things to me. In Xianning, I cried whenever I wanted, and no one ever said I was wrong?

The Father Venerable inside the Mirage Domain… seems a little different?

Tong Siqing remembered when she was young and accidentally fell and scraped her knee. When her Father Venerable saw her crying, he secretly held her and laughed.

That time was one of the few times she saw her Father Venerable smile.

My Father Venerable only said that my crying was so interesting. There was no hint of blame in his voice.

But this Father Venerable inside the Mirage Domain is so strict with me.

He even slapped me…

Tong Siqing felt a little wronged.

She knew that outside, her Father Venerable would never hit her. She had never even imagined that her Father Venerable would hit her.

Tong Siqing covered her face. She looked up at him with a wronged expression and bravely rebelled: “I will cry.”

Sheng Wen: ???
