Chapter 47 Spell-Making Prodigy Girl VS. The Demon Lord Who Shares Her Bed 20
"Are you awake?"
When Qi Suihuan entered the room, she saw her hugging a blanket and staring blankly, her hair messy and looking silly.
He couldn't help but chuckle, walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, pinching her little cheek.
The skin is soft and delicate, and feels great to the touch.
"Are you still feeling unwell? Let me put some medicine on you."
She cried nonstop last night, and he gently comforted her for a long time.
Jiang Zhiyi's face turned bright red: "I'm fine, no... I don't need to apply medicine."
"There's been some strange activity in the border city of the Demon Realm lately. I need to go check it out; it should take me three to five days. You stay here and don't wander off."
He reached out and touched her hair; some strands were wrapped around her snow-white shoulders.
He couldn't resist leaning in to smell her neck and shoulders; she smelled wonderful.
Jiang Zhiyi subtly avoided the question; why was he acting like a dog?
"If you're bored, just read some storybooks here. Those dancers and singers... and those actors you like, they can keep you entertained. If you need anything, just go to Duan Shiyi, he'll take care of it for you."
"Okay. Got it."
She wasn't fully awake yet; her head was drooping, and she looked listless.
Qi Suihuan thought she didn't want to be separated from him: "I will come back to be with you as soon as possible."
He hugged her again, then left reluctantly.
...
Xuanhu Lake.
The Demon Realm is rugged and crisscrossed with ravines. Apart from the cities where demon cultivators usually reside, which are still somewhat bustling, the vast majority of the land is desolate.
All things were silent, and there was endless darkness.
This is a rare scenic spot in the Demon Realm, where the lake and mountains complement each other beautifully, making it a place that people linger and never want to leave.
A magnificent platform was built in the center of Xuanhu Lake, upon which stood several beautiful and exquisite pavilions.
Jiang Zhiyi lay on a soft chair in the attic, with several witches carefully attending to her.
One person gently fanned her with a small fan, another fed her grapes, and yet another massaged her shoulders and back.
On the small stage in front of her, several actors were performing a captivating act, making her laugh out loud from time to time.
How wonderful!
Duan Shiyi was very annoyed when he saw this scene as soon as he arrived.
Although the Demon Lord might despise her, why does she seem to be getting more and more carefree now?
Before leaving, the Demon Lord instructed him to do his best to fulfill whatever requests Jiang Zhiyi made.
Duan Shiyi knew that this was probably the Demon Lord's way of making amends to her, since the Demon Lord had betrayed her deep affection and she couldn't help but feel guilty.
He's been being bossed around by her every day these past few days, and his legs are about to give out.
I'm so tired!
The Demon Lord should also show some disgust towards him sometime, so that he can also enjoy himself.
"Miss Jiang, this is a letter from the Demon Lord to you."
"letter?"
Jiang Zhiyi took it; it was a thick stack.
Is this a letter? She wouldn't doubt it even if you told her it was a book.
She opened it and randomly flipped through a few pages; it was all just rambling nonsense.
It's simply a matter of telling her to stay put and not cause any trouble; he'll be back in a couple of days.
"The Demon Lord says that you need to reply to him by tomorrow."
"Understood. Eleventh Protector, thank you for your trouble. Would you like to stay and rest for a while?"
Jiang Zhiyi extended a very sincere invitation to him.
Duan Shiyi suppressed the urge to stay, determined not to be lazy and to work hard.
"No, I have official business to attend to. Goodbye."
After saying that, he left directly, leaving behind a resolute yet somewhat weary figure.
Jiang Zhiyi looked at the letter in her hand, frowning and worrying. What should she reply to Qi Suihuan?
It's such a hassle, I don't want to do anything at all.
He was definitely deliberately tormenting her.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that the witch who did her makeup today was quite skilled, and the makeup she did was very beautiful.
"Bring me a mirror." A maid quickly brought her a small round mirror.
Looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, she cast a small spell.
Soon, the round mirror began to glow with a faint blue light, and something was changing inside—it was the image of her smiling gently just now.
"Hmm... Go to the yard and pick some pretty maple leaves for me, the ones that are a bit red."
Red leaves evoke longing, hoping for your early return.
Jiang Zhiyi picked up a pen and wrote this sentence on the paper. The handwriting was very messy and could only be barely seen.
She put the note and the small round mirror into the envelope, then stuffed the envelope full of maple leaves, making it bulge out.
"Take this and give it to the Demon Lord."
"yes."
She waved her hand, and everything was done.
Master, you've been slacking off for far too long.
Tuantuan watched her eat the pastries with longing eyes.
"The male lead isn't here these past few days either, so I can't follow the plot."
[This is a weak argument... Tuantuan also wants to eat it.]
"You can't have any, just watch me eat."
Jiang Zhiyi showed no mercy.
Hmph, you might gain weight.
"It doesn't matter, health and happiness come first."
"Tuantuan, go and find out what the female lead is doing!"
After returning to the Demon Realm, Ruan Lingyue vanished as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth, and there has been no news of her since.
Although he often wandered around the Demon Palace, he had never encountered her.
This is so strange.
It's likely that Qi Suihuan was afraid that she would bully her, so she hid her away to prevent the two of them from meeting.
[Master, the female lead is cultivating. She was originally a celestial cultivator, but now she must destroy her innate talents to rebuild her demonic body.]
This process was extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could ruin everything. The male protagonist instructed that no one should disturb her and even assigned a demon general to guard her.
"I see, no wonder I couldn't see her."
Jiang Zhiyi thought of something, dismissed everyone, and opened her book of spells to study it.
...
The border town of the demon realm.
"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from the Demon Palace."
The demon general presented a bulging envelope to the table.
Qi Suihuan picked up the envelope and weighed it in her hand. It was heavy, and judging from the sound, it seemed to contain more than just a letter.
He opened it and found a large bunch of maple leaves, fiery red. He carefully searched through the leaves and found a note and a small round mirror.
"Red leaves symbolize longing... Return home soon." Qi Suihuan raised an eyebrow.
She really needs to practice her handwriting. I'll teach her how to write when I get back this time... I'll teach her step by step.
He picked up the round mirror again and saw a faint blue light shimmering around its edge. In the mirror was her pretty face, her eyes full of joy, her smile as beautiful as a flower.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling extremely happy.
"How did the inspection of the border town go today?" he asked the demon general beside him.
"Your Majesty, nothing unusual has been found. The spies we discovered earlier have all confessed, and the deputy general just led a small team to capture them. There shouldn't be any further problems."
"When the deputy general returns, have him come directly to my tent to report. Kill all those we captured earlier, leave no survivors."
"I will return tomorrow night. Send this message back to the Demon Palace. You may leave."
"yes."
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its pure and tranquil light shines through the window into the room, spilling onto the floor.
At the table, Qi Suihuan examined the small round mirror and the pile of tattered leaves again and again...
