Chapter 50 Spell-Making Prodigy Girl VS. The Demon Lord Who Shares Her Bed 23

"Move all my things to the side hall. Be careful when you move them, especially my flowers."

As soon as Jiang Zhiyi woke up, she gave the witch instructions, saying that she couldn't sleep in this bedchamber for another day.

Qi Suihuan has been acting like a dog in heat lately.

She hadn't slept well for many days; anyone would find that unbearable.

And about the poisoning incident last time, he just casually let her act as if nothing had happened.

She kept pestering him for an explanation, but Qi Suihuan kept saying that the murderer had not yet been found, and only told her to rest assured that he would protect her.

How could she possibly feel at ease?

She was terrified for several days, constantly worried that someone might poison her again.

Later, seeing that she was still depressed, Qi Suihuan told her that he had found the murderer.

She didn't believe it and wanted to see it for herself. Qi Suihuan then declined, saying that the scene of disposing of the murderer was too bloody and that she was afraid she would have nightmares if she saw it, so she wouldn't let her go.

Jiang Zhiyi was furious; all he said was an excuse!

Forget it, I'll just spend most of my time with Big Face Flower; that'll be enough to keep me alive.

What are you doing now?

As soon as Qi Suihuan entered the hall, she saw the commotion inside. Witches were coming and going, carrying things.

Jiang Zhiyi: "I'm going to sleep in the side hall. The side hall is right next door. If your spell suddenly flares up, you can call me over anytime."

Qi Suihuan frowned, "No!"

He directly called out to the people busy inside the hall: "Stop moving things, put everything back for me."

"Qi Suihuan!"

"Either you stay here, or you sleep in the dark dungeon. If you think you can accept the environment of the dark dungeon, then go there now."

"You—humph!" Jiang Zhiyi had no choice but to give in.

Qi Suihuan smiled involuntarily when she saw her aggrieved and defeated look.

He also remembered that when Jiang Zhiyi was imprisoned in the dark dungeon, the guards reported to him her every move, saying that she was talking to herself—worried that rats would bite her feet.

He pinched her puffed-up cheek hard: "Why are you so silly, huh?"

"Qi Suihuan, you bastard!"

Jiang Zhiyi was furious and started tearing at his clothes.

He grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Why did you bite me... ugh..."

...

After lying down for several more days, Jiang Zhiyi looked at the stagnant plot progress and decided that she should be more diligent.

Tuantuan analyzed it for her.

Although the male lead likes the female lead, he's also entangled with her due to a curse, which is why the plot is currently in this state—their relationship is stalled, and our mission is also affected.

"I see."

Since then, Jiang Zhiyi has been deliberately keeping her distance from Qi Suihuan.

Soon, almost everyone in the entire Demon Palace noticed her transformation.

Outside the council chamber.

Duan Shiyi and Duan Shier are on duty outside.

"Twelve, you know what, I quite like Jiang Zhiyi's personality. She's bold in love and hate, and at the same time, she can let go easily and knows when to cut her losses."

"I don't think she's really let go," Duan Shier said thoughtfully.

What do you mean by that?

"It's just like in the storybooks. I feel that Miss Jiang is more likely to have fallen in love with someone else. Otherwise, given her persistent nature, how could she let go so easily?"

What you said seems to make sense.

Qi Suihuan stayed inside the hall and heard their conversation clearly.

Could it be that she really... fell in love with someone else?

Jiang Zhiyi spent another day outside, researching her spell. When she returned in the evening, she was exhausted.

After taking a bath, she quickly climbed into bed. Lying on the soft bedding, she sighed contentedly.

She covered herself with the blanket and prepared to go to sleep.

Meanwhile, Qi Suihuan, who was completely ignored by her, turned her head to look at her several times.

She has become increasingly indifferent to herself lately.

She no longer clings to him for kisses and hugs during the day like before. Now, when they sleep together at night, she always sleeps with her back to him and never takes the initiative to get close to him again.

He had been waiting for her in his bedchamber all day, and had even changed into a brand new black and gold nightgown.

Jiang Zhiyi had mentioned before that she liked seeing him wear this color.

But as soon as she got back, she fell asleep without even noticing his clothes or speaking to him.

He thought about it again and again, and felt increasingly uneasy.

Finally, his somewhat resentful voice rang out—

"You haven't slept with me in your arms for two days. Have you... changed your mind?"
