The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Shi Zhihua was supposed to properly question Ji Hui to get to the bottom of things, but she was so irritated by the sight of the girl that she had to throw her out first, then calm down before discussing.

“Return the immortal artifacts to this Lord,” Shi Zhihua extended her hand with a cold expression. “It’s all because I was blind in both eye and heart before, to have trusted an ungrateful wretch like you.”

Ji Hui hastily handed over the Emperor’s Grudge Mark and the Midday Bell, afraid that the other party would get even angrier.

Shi Zhihua took them expressionlessly… immediately noticing the blood on the Midday Bell.

Shi Zhihua said in a deep voice: “Is this blood yours?”

Ji Hui nodded weakly, then cautiously used a cleansing spell to wipe away the bloodstain.

“This Lord doesn’t find you dirty,” Shi Zhihua was inexplicably annoyed by her small action. “I mean…”

What was I going to say?

Shi Zhihua, in a fit of anger, suddenly forgot her words. She turned to look at Ji Hui and noticed the unhealed scar beneath her open sleeve, and the scorched black “butterfly” on her calf, which was the result of a lightning tribulation strike.

The injury was actually quite severe. Shi Zhihua suddenly wondered why the other party never mentioned it. Why didn’t she tell her?

She met Ji Hui’s eyes with a cold gaze and noticed that the little girl’s expression was momentarily similar to Tong Siqing’s. Indeed, having recognized Siqing as her owner, their movements and demeanor are becoming more and more alike.

Just then, Tong Siqing went over, hugged Ji Hui, and conjured a pair of shoes and socks for her, so the little girl wouldn’t have to step on the floor barefoot.

The two of them…

Shi Zhihua’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a kind of illusion that Ji Hui was like her and Tong Siqing’s child, who, after suffering outside, returned home only to be criticized by her again.

Sigh.

Forget it, forget it.

Shi Zhihua was angry, but she was still protective of her own. After all, Ji Hui had been bullied by outsiders. After teaching her a lesson, didn’t she still have to avenge Ji Hui?

After all, the other party had now recognized Tong Siqing as her owner, and once this contract was established, it would be difficult to break.

Tong Siqing was probably unwilling to break it either. In that case, she might as well be magnanimous and forgive Ji Hui this time.

“You, don’t let this happen again,” Shi Zhihua said blankly, forcibly stuffing the immortal artifacts back into Ji Hui’s hands. “Keep them safe. This Lord doesn’t need them for now.”

This time, not only Ji Hui, but Tong Siqing was also stunned.

What does Zhihua mean?

She doesn’t want the immortal artifacts anymore?

Ji Hui looked up blankly, her light brown eyes full of confusion: “Your Excellency, you…”

“Do you think you can get away unscathed just by killing someone in the North Sea?” Shi Zhihua scolded her. “The North Sea Serpent Clan holds grudges. As long as you leave even the slightest trace, they will chase you for a long time. You will run, and there will be bounties out to kill you even at the ends of the earth.”

Ji Hui held the Midday Bell in her hand: “But this immortal artifact was painstakingly obtained by Your Excellency…”

“It’s good that you know this Lord went through trouble,” Shi Zhihua gave her a big eye roll, sounding somewhat fierce yet inwardly weak. “You have grudges against you. If you don’t have immortal artifacts, you might be killed as soon as you step out the door. If you are killed, Tong Siqing will probably cry again.”

This time, Tong Siqing understood.

Zhihua was using her as an excuse to protect Ji Hui and allow her to stay.

“Hurry up and thank Your Excellency,” Tong Siqing nudged her. “Your Excellency has forgiven you.”

Shi Zhihua was stubborn: “I haven’t forgiven her. I just think it’s unlucky for her to die at the door.”

Ji Hui quickly apologized to the Demon Lord, following Tong Siqing’s words, no longer daring to have any other thoughts.

“What kind of terrible fate is this Lord under?” Shi Zhihua was speechless, desperately wanting to question this awful fate. Even a spirit pet she raised would betray her, and now, she had to clean up the mess for the other party.

Tong Siqing suggested: “Since we no longer need to find a horn for Ji Hui, why don’t we run away and leave the North Sea?”

Ji Hui’s revenge should also be complete, and they didn’t need to stay any longer.

“Good,” Shi Zhihua said. “We will set off tomorrow.”

Tong Siqing thought for a moment and decided to let Ji Hui turn into a golden hairpin and hide for a while. They would make plans after leaving the North Sea.

Ji Hui obediently transformed.

“It’s getting late, Zhihua. Let’s rest,” Tong Siqing blew out the lamp, moved closer to help Shi Zhihua comb her hair. She removed the beautiful hairpins from her dark hair, and then was about to continue removing her clothes.

Shi Zhihua: !!!

She was so angry that she forgot about this matter.

“No, my waist…”

As soon as Shi Zhihua started to speak, she was suddenly covered by Tong Siqing, who was acting treasonously. She glared angrily, about to silently question the other party, but saw Tong Siqing shake her head cautiously.

Tong Siqing mouthed: “Someone is outside.”

Shi Zhihua thought, Perhaps their commotion this afternoon was too great, causing someone outside to be suspicious, suspecting that I was deliberately feigning deafness and muteness, so they specifically came to eavesdrop.

These North Sea people are truly…

Shi Zhihua hated trouble the most. The thought of being exposed and facing more trouble tomorrow made her head ache.

Forget it, I’ll continue to pretend.

Shi Zhihua swallowed her frustration quite helplessly, and then unhappily removed her clothes.

Just then, Tong Siqing reached out and touched several of her pressure points.

Shi Zhihua: ?

Immediately, Shi Zhihua found her vision turning completely black. She couldn’t see anything.

What is she doing?

Shi Zhihua was startled and anxiously reached out to grab Tong Siqing’s arm for security.

Tong Siqing leaned close and whispered to her: “The person outside seems to have very high cultivation. Fearing that he might discover something, I had to seal Zhihua’s six senses first.”

Shi Zhihua had no objection and was then sealed of her hearing as well.

The figure outside the door approached. Tong Siqing nervously stared at the shadow outside.

She felt a little panicked because the person outside had higher cultivation than herself.

She couldn’t decide what to do, so she adopted an “if the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move” stance.

Outside the door was Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen, who was disguised.

He hadn’t gone into seclusion. The so-called seclusion was just laziness in dealing with the North Sea’s nonsense.

But later, he heard that the Demon Lord also didn’t take the bait, and instead, his daughter got involved, which made him a little worried.

So, taking advantage of no one being around, he disguised himself and came to Tong Siqing’s room.

To prevent his daughter from not recognizing him, Sheng Wen deliberately released his Heavenly Venerable-level cultivation, hoping to give Tong Siqing a secret signal.

But Tong Siqing didn’t seem to give him any reaction.

Perhaps now is not a convenient time?

Sheng Wen was never very strict with his daughter. When in Xianning, he would ask her to come to Father Cloud Peak instead of personally going to the Qichidian to find her.

So, when he came to find her this time, he didn’t know what to do.

His daughter had grown up, and as a father, he certainly couldn’t be impolite. Is it not appropriate to disturb her so abruptly?

Sheng Wen stood outside the door, constantly conflicted.

He paced for a long time, still unable to decide.

He didn’t even know if he should transmit a message to ask her.

Sigh.

Sheng Wen was not an indecisive person by nature, but when dealing with his daughter, he acquired the unique nagging trait of an old father, often unable to make up his mind.

Sheng Wen hesitated for a long time. Thinking his daughter might be asleep, he left behind a protective artifact and then left.

From Tong Siqing’s perspective inside the room, the highly skilled cultivator outside the door kept lingering and wouldn’t leave.

Only after hesitating until the night was deep did he seem to have the intention to leave.

Tong Siqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Zhihua?”

She had neglected Zhihua for a long time. After relaxing, she remembered that her Zhihua’s six senses were still sealed.

“Zhihua, I apologize for the inconvenience.” Tong Siqing was about to lift her hand to unseal her when she suddenly noticed that after the person outside left, he also placed a monitoring-like artifact. She instantly became even more certain that the person outside was here to eavesdrop on them!

No, I can’t unseal her.

Tong Siqing withdrew her hand, not daring to act rashly.

Zhihua still had to pretend to be blind and deaf. She would just have to inconvenience the other party for one more night.

Shi Zhihua had no sense of security. She couldn’t hear anything, and her vision was completely black, as if she had been thrown into the void, weightless. All her sensations were focused on Tong Siqing alone. That was the only solid point she could touch, through which she could deepen her sense of security.

Tong Siqing lowered her head and kissed her trembling eyelashes: “Don’t be afraid, Zhihua, I’m here with you.”

But Shi Zhihua couldn’t hear any of this.

Tong Siqing might have realized this. She felt the other party’s unease and then sighed, reaching out to reassure her.

This was their only connection.
