Chapter 52 Spell-Making Prodigy Girl VS. The Demon Lord Who Shares Her Bed 25

Jiang Zhiyi, who was inside the bedchamber, was completely unaware of all this. She kept begging her senior brother Chenyou to find a way to break the curse on her.

After receiving a positive reply, Jiang Zhiyi contentedly put away the communication array.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw Qi Suihuan standing at the door, seemingly having just arrived.

Jiang Zhiyi felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably strange.

Qi Suihuan tried his best to suppress a terrifying emotion surging within him. He smiled at her, just as he always did.

"Come with me to Xuanhu Lake tonight, let's go."

He stepped forward and tried to take her hand.

Jiang Zhiyi instinctively dodged away, trying to avoid him touching her.

"Why are you hiding?"

Qi Suihuan forcefully grabbed her hand, their fingers intertwined, and he kissed her cheek again.

Xuanhu Lake.

The table was laden with exquisite and plentiful dishes, most of which were Jiang Zhiyi's favorites.

He had been holding her hand the whole way, and Jiang Zhiyi was initially a little annoyed, but seeing the delicious food, she quickly forgot about those feelings.

"Try this."

Qi Suihuan kept putting food on her plate, but she didn't touch her own chopsticks much, just watching her eat happily.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Jiang Zhiyi had finished eating and was leaning back in a soft chair looking lazy.

"I have a surprise for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Xuanhu Lake lit up.

Brilliant fireworks ignited the dark sky.

"Wow!"

Jiang Zhiyi excitedly ran to the fence and looked around.

She looked up at the fireworks filling the sky, her eyes sparkling with light.

Qi Suihuan stood beside her, turning her head to look at her, her eyes only seeing her figure.

Do you like it?

"I love it! It's so beautiful."

Jiang Zhiyi had rarely seen such grand and dazzling fireworks.

"Zhizhi."

He called her name and pulled her into his arms.

“It was my fault before… You cursed me back then, and I had murderous intent towards you, and I’ve always been on guard against you.”

"But slowly, I started to be uncontrollably attracted to you. I've experienced a lot of bloody betrayals. I'm afraid of that feeling, so I've always been restraining my feelings."

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have run away, and I shouldn’t have been so cold to you and ignored your feelings. And Ruan Lingyue, I’ve never liked her.”

"Zhizhi, let's start over, okay?"

I love you. And you're all I want.

Jiang Zhiyi was caught off guard by his sudden confession.

What's going on now? Can the storyline even proceed properly? Someone, please save her.

She even suspected that Qi Suihuan might have mistaken her for someone else, called out the wrong name, and hugged the wrong person.

"Demon Lord, please calm down."

"It's very likely the effect of the spell that's causing you to feel these things. You don't really like me; you're just being controlled by the spell."

Jiang Zhiyi tried her best to shift the blame to the sorcery.

"It was all my fault for being willful before, putting a curse on you based on my own thoughts. I will lift the curse as soon as possible. I am also sorry for the trouble I caused you these past few days. As compensation, whatever needs the Demon Lord may have from now on, the Jiang family of Jinyuan will do its best to meet them."

She pushed him away.

"Zhizhi, are you trying to distance yourself from me? I know exactly what I'm doing; this isn't the effect of a spell."

Qi Suihuan's eyes were filled with an unyielding darkness as he stared intently at her.

A bloodthirsty urge was boiling within him.

"Demon Lord, I will pretend I didn't hear what you just said. You should take a closer look at the right people around you... Perhaps, the one you truly love is Ruan Lingyue."

"When did I ever say I liked Ruan Lingyue?"

Qi Suihuan stared at her.

"If I liked her, would I be here holding you?"

"I even made love to you every night."

"I never said anything like that, but it's you who's always overthinking things, and you won't listen to my explanations. Are you deliberately teasing me?"

The gaze directed at her became even more piercing—

"I don't care what you were thinking back then. Since you provoked me, you have to bear the consequences now. Stay by my side obediently."

...

After that night, Jiang Zhiyi was locked up.

Fearing she might escape using a formation, Qi Suihuan sealed the entire palace with a barrier.

All the spells have been tried, but none of them have been of any use.

Jiang Zhiyi didn't know how he did it, but she was certain that she really couldn't escape.

At first, Jiang Zhiyi tried to reason with Qi Suihuan in a gentle manner, attempting to persuade him to release her.

But she found it was no use; Qi Suihuan was determined to keep her locked up here.

Whenever she mentioned letting her out, he would become extremely irritable and say fiercely that he would teach her a lesson.

...

"Tuantuan, what's going on now?"

[Master, the system indicates that the original plot has been severely altered. The female lead has moved out of the Demon Palace and is now in the General's Mansion, and she is already with her senior brother, Su Xi.]

"What?!"

[And the male lead, he publicly declared that you are his Demon Queen. Now the whole world knows about your affair.]

"What about the Jiang Clan of Jinyuan? Why didn't they come to save me? I am their important young master!"

They assumed you and the male lead were in love... because he showed them the various love letters and tokens of your affection that you had given him before.

Jiang Zhiyi fell silent; this time, she was truly doomed.

Moreover, given the male protagonist's strength, he could single-handedly wipe out the entire Jiang clan.

So what should I do now?

Although the original plot was flawed, given the current situation, the male and female leads have each achieved a satisfactory ending.

"And what about me? Can't you even consider how I, a cannon fodder supporting character, feel?!"

[Master, the system has determined your mission is complete. Now you simply need to stay here until the life of your assigned character ends normally. You can try to resist the male protagonist; if he's willing to let you go, that's fine too.]

Jiang Zhiyi decided to fight back that very night.

"You can't keep me locked up here forever! Qi Suihuan, you're a madman!"

She cursed angrily.

Qi Suihuan used his demonic energy to condense a sharp dagger that gleamed with a cold light. He gently patted Jiang Zhiyi's face with the blade, and then the blade slowly slid down her skin.

Jiang Zhiyi knew very well that if she got just a little closer, she would be cut and bleed.

She immediately cowered, losing all her previous arrogance, and didn't dare to move at all.

"Zhizhi, didn't you know very well what kind of person I am from the beginning?"

What gave you the illusion that I could be manipulated and then ruthlessly discarded by you?

Qi Suihuan pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

Her eyes were filled with tears, her gaze brimming with a delicate, vulnerable air, as if she were someone to be taken advantage of.

"Scared?" he laughed.

Jiang Zhiyi forced back the tears welling up in her eyes, which began to redden.

The blade sliced ​​through her clothes, and layers of thin fabric fell to the ground.

His kiss landed.

You have no idea how much I love you.

"Zhizhi, please have pity on me, okay?"
