Chapter 46 Spell-Making Prodigy Girl VS. The Demon Lord Who Shares Her Bed 19
The Demon Realm.
"Who is this young lady?" Duan Shiyi asked.
He and Duan Twelve looked at each other in bewilderment.
How come His Excellency took Miss Jiang to the Immortal Sect, and then brought back another strange woman?
"This is General Ruan's daughter."
Seeing their puzzled looks, Qi Suihuan casually gave a reply.
"General Ruan? I see."
“The General’s Mansion has long been abandoned and it will take some time to rebuild. Ruan Lingyue, you will stay at the Demon Palace for the time being.”
"On the eleventh, send several people to take good care of him and make sure he is not neglected."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Because it happened in full view of everyone, many people knew that His Excellency had brought a woman back with him.
Moreover, that woman was no ordinary person; she was the daughter of the late General Ruan, and had a deep relationship with the Demon Lord.
For a time, everyone in the Demon Palace thought that Ruan Lingyue might be Qi Suihuan's new favorite, but it was all just speculation.
...
"Twelve, are there any new stories?"
In the past few days, Jiang Zhiyi has read through all the storybooks she had plundered from him.
"You're here to buy goods?"
Duan Shier was shocked. Last time she took away so many storybooks, and she finished reading them all in such a short time.
Several of them were brand new, and he hadn't even read them yet, before she took them away.
"How come you have so much free time? Do you spend all day hiding in the palace reading storybooks?" Duan Twelve asked her.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you go to see the Venerable One. Could it be that what they said is true?"
"What do you mean, real or fake?" Jiang Zhiyi asked, puzzled.
Duan Shier looked around, somewhat hesitant.
But considering that Jiang Zhiyi is the kind of person who doesn't hold grudges, he decided to just tell her directly.
"Rumors are circulating that His Majesty has a new favorite, so... you may fall out of favor."
"Oh... is that all?"
As expected, Jiang Zhiyi didn't care at all.
"Could it be that you and His Majesty have really run into trouble?"
Duan Shier was quite heartbroken. Was the CP he was shipping going to end like this?
"Give me a few more copies of the latest storybooks, and I'll tell you the whole truth."
Jiang Zhiyi waved to him.
Duan Shier gritted his teeth; just to hear some gossip, he would give it to him!
"His Majesty has never loved me; the person he truly loves is Ruan Lingyue!"
Duan Shier stood there, clearly surprised by what she said. It turned out he had really shipped the wrong couple.
"Now that she's returned to the Demon Realm, I've also been rejected by the Demon Lord. Twelve, considering how pitiful I am, you'd better find me more good stories to read in the future."
"Otherwise, I simply can't stay in this demon realm!" Jiang Zhiyi pretended to cry.
Duan Shier also felt great sympathy for her at this moment.
It's common knowledge how much she loves the Demon Lord. Now, given this situation, she must be incredibly sad and heartbroken.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of all your storybooks from now on. You can have whatever you want to read, it'll all be yours."
"Twelve, you're such a good person." Jiang Zhiyi smiled broadly.
...
"Drink! Another pot, please!"
When Duan Shiyi and Duan Shier learned the truth, they both felt sorry for Jiang Zhiyi.
Therefore, they specially invited her out for drinks.
“Miss Jiang, don’t be sad. Although you may never find someone better than His Excellency, you can’t hang yourself on one tree.”
“That’s right. That’s what the poem in the story says: ‘King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no heart.’ Now that His Majesty is indifferent to you, Miss Jiang, you, this beautiful fallen flower, also have ulterior motives.”
"I agree!" Jiang Zhiyi shouted. "I sincerely wish them a long and happy life together!"
She thought to herself, if their relationship doesn't last, wouldn't all the hard work she put into doing the tasks every day be for nothing?
"I knew you were an extremely open-minded person, Miss Jiang, and I was right."
"That's right! Come on, keep drinking!"
...
Jiang Zhiyi returned to her bedchamber reeking of alcohol.
He was so drunk that he could barely walk.
"Why did you go out and drink so much?" Qi Suihuan frowned, clearly displeased.
"I'm so happy!" Jiang Zhiyi said with a silly grin.
What's making you so happy?
Jiang Zhiyi closed her eyes to rest and did not answer.
Qi Suihuan held her in his arms and let her fall asleep on his shoulder. Then he called in the witch who served her and asked her questions.
"What happened today? Who did she go drinking with?"
"Miss Jiang invited the Eleventh and Twelfth Protectors to drink. Miss Jiang said..."
The witch stammered, her head bowed, too afraid to speak.
What did she say?
"Miss Jiang said, 'I wish you and Ruan Lingyue a happy ending and a long and loving marriage.'"
Qi Suihuan's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly: "Did she say anything else?"
"No...that's all," the witch replied.
"You can leave now."
He gently placed Jiang Zhiyi on the bed, brushed aside the slightly messy strands of hair on her face, and revealed her entire face.
She must have been very upset when she said those words.
She clearly loved him so much, yet now she was wishing him a long and happy life with another woman.
"I'm sorry, Zhizhi, it's all my fault," he said softly.
It's all his fault for carelessly ignoring her feelings, which led to so many misunderstandings.
She hasn't been coming to see me as often as before these days; it must be because she's heartbroken.
It's infuriating that he didn't notice anything at all, and even blamed her for not coming to see him because she was too playful.
"Zhizhi..." he called her name again and again, gently stroking her face.
His Zhizhi is so well-behaved and cute, he loves her so much.
At this moment, Qi Suihuan was as if she had been bewitched, completely forgetting her initial opinion of her.
"Hmm... what are you doing?" Jiang Zhiyi was woken up by his hand movements and was a little impatient.
She was also drunk and confused, and her hands instinctively reached up to his back.
...
When Jiang Zhiyi woke up the next day, she was completely dazed and her memory was very confused.
Last night she...she slept with the male lead?!
Many fragmented images flashed through my mind.
Jiang Zhiyi rubbed her hair in a very agitated manner.
Drinking can lead to trouble!
She was trying her best to process this cruel reality; she now had to stay away from the male lead!
