The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 95
Chapter 95
Sheng Wen gave Su Rong some Azure Edge Jade to take to the Demon Lord.
Saying nothing more, Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen simply informed her to hand the item to Shi Zhihua, and Shi Zhihua would naturally know how to cure her back pain.
It was only at this moment that Su Rong realized a problem the Heavenly Venerable had long understood her implication but had been pretending not to care. If it weren’t for getting caught up in reminiscing about the past, he wouldn’t have let their Demon Lord find the cure so quickly.
Su Rong sighed.
She wondered if the Heavenly Venerable was benevolent or ruthless.
She took the Azure Edge Jade to the Demon Lord’s room, not daring to enter, but merely placed the item silently at the doorway.
There was also an artifact silently guarding them at the door, keeping watch.
It was clearly placed by Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen.
Su Rong’s emotions were complex. Of course, her level of entanglement was far less than Heavenly Venerable Sheng Wen’s.
She wondered what the Heavenly Venerable had witnessed all those years ago to make him simultaneously want to destroy their Demon Lord and yet be unable to help but be compassionate.
Su Rong put down the Azure Edge Jade, sighed, and left.
The Azure Edge Jade outside the door emitted a faint green glow. The light twinkled like fireflies joining together and slipped in through the crack of the door.
Shi Zhihua, exhausted, had fallen asleep.
She had a dream.
It felt very familiar, and the scene before her eyes was incredibly clear. The dream was excessively real.
Shi Zhihua opened her eyes and found herself in a bustling marketplace.
Suddenly, a very noisy sound came from ahead. Many mortals were running in the same direction, as if rushing to join some excitement.
Shi Zhihua was not one for excitement. Seeing the crowd made her feel annoyed.
Logically, she should have turned and left.
But, for some unknown reason, as if guided by some unseen force, she couldn’t help but want to go and see the commotion ahead.
“Which family’s girl ran away? Sitting on the ground foolishly, not afraid of being sold by human traffickers.”
An old woman’s voice was exceptionally loud, her shouts audible even dozens of feet away.
Shi Zhihua walked towards that direction.
Suddenly, her foot twisted, and she almost fell to the ground.
Shi Zhihua: ???
She looked curiously at her feet, realizing she didn’t seem to know how to walk. She almost fell just now.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind: It seems I can only walk if my hands and feet are both on the ground.
No.
I haven’t adapted to this body yet.
Shi Zhihua tried to adjust for a moment and quickly gained full control of her legs. Only then did she follow the crowd towards that direction.
The people there were still clamoring.
“She must be a girl from a wealthy family, judging by her delicate skin. She probably hasn’t done any rough work.”
“Wealthy family? No high-ranking official or noble has lost a daughter recently.”
“Is she a foreigner?”
“Most likely a foolish young lady from some gentleman’s family. Look at her naive and ignorant appearance; she must have been very well protected.”
Shi Zhihua followed the discussions and looked over, parting the crowd, and saw a girl sitting on the grass ahead, completely devoid of any image, just staring eagerly at the grass in front of her, burying her head to nibble on some grass roots, then widening her eyes curiously at the people, eating a bit more grass… then looking up at the people while digesting… then eating grass again… and so on…
Shi Zhihua knew who this was.
This must be the foolish rabbit raised by the immortal.
The rabbit, like herself, was experiencing human form for the first time and was not yet accustomed to it, curiously observing the world while maintaining its original habits.
When Tong Siqing saw her, her eyes lit up. After sniffing the familiar scent, she instantly scrambled towards her on all fours.
Everyone: !!!
Everyone was startled, shocked by this strange, seemingly monstrous way of moving.
They unanimously backed away, conveniently clearing a path for Tong Siqing to come closer to Shi Zhihua.
Shi Zhihua: “…”
In this instant, I don’t know what to think.
Facing the crowd’s bewildered gazes, she drew upon their earlier discussions and fabricated a reasonable explanation—this was just the foolish young daughter of a wealthy family who had gotten separated from her family.
Shi Zhihua had thought it through, but she wasn’t very articulate. She organized her thoughts several times before barely stringing together a complete sentence.
Fortunately, she learned quickly and soon mastered the methods of mortal conversation.
The onlookers dispersed.
Shi Zhihua felt a weight on her leg. She looked down and saw the rabbit instinctively hugging her thigh, then staring at her with those pure, innocent eyes.
She felt a bit embarrassed. She had mastered walking so quickly after becoming human, yet this rabbit still hadn’t.
“Can you walk? Stand up,” Shi Zhihua tried to communicate with her. “Don’t drag me down, or I’ll eat you.”
Tong Siqing was startled, her pupils trembling. She hurriedly straightened her body, but her back was too soft, and she performed an immediate backward arch on the spot for Shi Zhihua.
The rabbit’s head arched backward, her forehead touching the ground, her intensely black eyes almost crossing.
Shi Zhihua: “…”
How embarrassing. What should I do?
What was even more ridiculous was that the rabbit was still clinging to her thigh, refusing to let go, making it impossible for her to simply abandon the other party and leave.
“Use your waist strength, straighten up towards me.”
Shi Zhihua looked down at her, seriously considering whether to kick the other party away or take her to a secluded corner and eat her.
Forget it, enduring for a moment means a meal later.
Shi Zhihua observed for a bit and realized that the immortal was not within this world.
She didn’t know yet that she had already been taken into the other party’s mustard seed space. She was even maliciously plotting whether to quietly eat this nourishing rabbit. If she did, her cultivation would greatly increase. After her cultivation increased, she would run to a place where no one could find her and slowly cultivate…
Shi Zhihua ground her teeth, saliva almost drooling out from the thought of the deliciousness.
It’s a miracle I’ve endured this long. She had long wanted to eat this plump, white rabbit.
A meal I personally raised must be very delicious. There wouldn’t be any strange odors; the meat would be tender and smooth. Most importantly, it contained her effort and care, like a meticulously prepared meal. It would certainly taste better than those easily acquired.
I can’t…
She couldn’t think about it anymore. She was about to lose control and eat the person right then and there.
Shi Zhihua restrained her saliva, looking down at Tong Siqing with the gaze one reserves for food.
The rabbit, at some point, had managed to straighten her back and was looking at her with an expression that screamed “praise me.”
The girl that the rabbit transformed into was very appetizing, with soft, abundant dark hair cascading down to her waist, and eyes that were sparkling, just like when she was a rabbit. Her skin was also very tender and smooth… Shi Zhihua fantasized that if she ate her, all she would need was a gentle nip of her teeth, and the fresh rabbit meat would gradually unfurl, opening up like a budding flower for her to admire and taste.
Shi Zhihua’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly pounding very fast.
Looking at the other party’s pure and beautiful features, Shi Zhihua thought, I must be too hungry, which is why my heart is racing for such a meal.
Tong Siqing was still smiling, staring at her unblinking.
Perhaps she’s waiting for praise.
Shi Zhihua lowered her hand and touched her head.
The girl then very affectionately turned her face and rubbed against her palm.
Shi Zhihua: !!!
Her palm was suddenly touched by the soft rabbit flesh. Her heart instantly stirred again. She smells so good. I really want to eat her right here in public.
Shi Zhihua’s eyes turned deep red. Her predatory instinct as a ferocious beast instantly surged, making her want to immediately grab the rabbit by the back of the neck, drag her to a secluded corner, bite her to death, and eat her.
I must cherish this hard-won piece of meat.
First, bite the other party to death, and then slowly savor the texture of the meat…
Shi Zhihua swallowed, restraining herself as she looked at her meal.
Tong Siqing had been clinging to her for a long time. Perhaps she was a bit tired, and her back suddenly softened again, almost causing her to fall backward.
Shi Zhihua quickly bent down and held her waist, lifting the girl to eye level as if lifting a child by the arms.
“Stand firm. Don’t sit down,” Shi Zhihua supported her arms, keeping her upright. “Stand still. Don’t move.”
Tong Siqing, after all, was still a rabbit in nature, extremely soft. She failed several times to stand up straight and could only look at Shi Zhihua with a look of both grievance and pity.
Shi Zhihua couldn’t stand that look. She immediately gave up on teaching her to walk and simply held her in her arms like a child, letting her head rest on her shoulder, and then walked away with the obedient rabbit.
Shi Zhihua, the transformed black leopard, had it all planned out.
This is my meal. I must protect her, walk to a deserted place, and enjoy her alone.
Because she was a black leopard, she disliked having other kin watching while she ate. It gave her a sense of insecurity, as if her food might be stolen.
So, she could only carry the rabbit and walk for a very long time, until her back ached and her legs were sore, only to realize that this place was entirely populated by humans, with no secluded areas for her to enjoy her delicacy.
This was truly a frustrating thing.
Shi Zhihua put the person down with some dissatisfaction, but then thought the ground was dirty. This rabbit I’ve raised for so long cannot be stained with dust. If she gets too dirty, it will affect the taste.
Furthermore, when she put her down, she worried the rabbit might be snatched away, so she thought it over and picked her up again.
The rabbit had already fallen asleep.
Shi Zhihua couldn’t eat her, so she could only lean in to smell the delicious scent of the meat to satisfy her craving.
She suppressed her bloodlust, biting gently at the back of the other party’s neck and grinding her teeth. Because she was afraid the scent of blood would spread and attract other predators, she didn’t dare to break the skin, only to satisfy her mouth-craving.
When she finally let go of the flesh, there was a pale pink mark on the rabbit’s neck, like a small berry.
Shi Zhihua looked at the tiny mark with satisfaction, feeling very relaxed, as if she had truly taken a bite. It was a very pleasant feeling.
Just that one action, and her legs were no longer tired, her back no longer ached. She felt like she could immediately carry the person and walk for several more miles.
I’m not afraid of being hungry anymore. I can eat her whenever I’m hungry.
I no longer have to live those days of never being satiated.
She joyfully picked up the rabbit and walked aimlessly through the bustling human world. The passing mortals stared at her curiously. She fiercely bared her nonexistent “fangs” at them, trying to scare off these humans who “dared to try and steal her meal.”
Everyone was scared by her glare and quickly avoided her.
Only after she had passed through that street did people gather to whisper.
“Did you see that? The big crazy one was carrying a small crazy one and even bared her teeth at us.”
“Hahaha, that was so scary. I was almost scared to death.”
Shi Zhihua was unaware of these things. She had already walked far away, still feeling fortunate that no one had tried to steal her possession.
It seems that even after becoming a weak human, I am still very capable. I can intimidate a large group of my kind. No one dares to steal my food.
I am the leader.
The “leader” was very happy and decided to reward herself with a few more nibbles of meat tonight.
