Chapter 33 Spell-Making Prodigy Girl VS. The Demon Lord Who Shares Her Bed 6
"Look, how can you say that about me, 'lazy and idle'? I'm clearly very diligent, and my magic is very powerful."
"And this, 'obsessed with men,' is a complete fabrication!" Jiang Zhiyi said, her face filled with shame and indignation.
"I only love you, Demon Lord. I won't even glance at any other man."
Qi Suihuan had heard her say these words countless times; he practically knew them by heart. He had even grown accustomed to her always including hints of admiration in whatever she said.
"Are there any other problems? Immortal sects? Evil arts?" Qi Suihuan asked.
Jiang Zhiyi sat on his lap and reached out to grab the calligraphy brush on the table.
She finally managed to reach it, but she leaned forward and fell to the ground. Qi Suihuan saw this and pulled her back.
"Ruan Lingyue of the Immortal Sect's Free and Unfettered Sect did not obtain the secret treasure."
She circled the female lead's name on the paper with a pen.
“I was there that day, so of course I couldn’t let her take my things. But since she did these petty thefts, she’ll definitely have to pay the price.”
"So you deliberately spread those rumors to make people in the cultivation world suspicious of her?"
"Not entirely, only she didn't get it." Jiang Zhiyi laughed wildly.
"Later, I secretly slipped half a spellbook to the other disciples from the immortal sects who came to carry out the operation. Besides the Xiaoyao Sect where she was, the Yinjian Sect and the Yixian Sect of the immortal sects all had half a book. In short, now everyone believes that Ruan Lingyue has a complete secret treasure."
She then boasted, "Demon Lord, the one I gave you is the best and most complete. I only dared to give you the real treasures."
If they had nothing, that wouldn't be so bad. But now that they each have half a copy, how could they possibly give up halfway? They'll definitely try every means to get the other half. After all, this is a hard-won opportunity.
"You've got some good tricks up your sleeve," Qi Suihuan praised her, adding that she was quite adept at stirring things up.
"I can't compare to the Demon Lord. In my heart, the Demon Lord is unparalleled in strategy and planning."
"Your Majesty, the elders request an audience," Duan Shiyi's voice rang out from outside the hall.
"Let them in."
Jiang Zhiyi still clung to him, unwilling to get up: "I'll just sit here, okay?"
"Um."
When the elders entered, they were greeted by a surprising scene.
Their usually cold-hearted Demon Lord held a stunningly beautiful woman on his lap, the two behaving intimately and whispering sweet nothings.
"What is it?"
The elders glanced at Jiang Zhiyi, seemingly not wanting her to hear what was to come.
"Elders, please speak freely."
Upon hearing Qi Suihuan's words, the elders had no choice but to obey his orders.
"Your Majesty, our people captured several immortal cultivators who were using evil magic to control puppets while investigating Wangxian Mountain."
"A...celestial cultivator who practices evil magic?" Qi Suihuan's interest was instantly piqued.
"Yes. However, those immortal cultivators seem to have been placed under some kind of prohibition. They have been interrogated for a long time, but they still haven't revealed a single word about evil magic."
"What do you think?" Qi Suihuan asked, looking at the person clinging to her.
"What else can I say? We haven't found out anything yet. But if it really was them, it wouldn't be surprising. There are plenty of people in the immortal sects who will stop at nothing to achieve enlightenment."
Jiang Zhiyi knew that he despised the immortal sect members who talked about benevolence and morality but acted in a treacherous and cunning way.
Qi Suihuan was very satisfied with her answer.
"Do you have any ideas on how to get them to give in?"
"Then it depends on the Demon Lord's needs. I can try to use magic to lift their ban, but it's not guaranteed to succeed. Usually, these bans are binding, and if they are forcibly removed, they will die immediately."
“If we really can’t solve this, I have other spells to control them. When the Demon Lord wants them to accuse someone of being the mastermind, they will accuse that person.” Jiang Zhiyi’s eyes sparkled.
"You really understand what I'm thinking. Let's go take a look now."
The Demon-Devouring Cave.
The Dark Prison is located in the Demon Devouring Cave. If it were anyone else, after experiencing so much inhuman torture there, they would definitely stay away from this place and never want to set foot there again.
But Qi Suihuan was different. Instead of staying away, he built the secret prison here and would come to inspect it from time to time, seemingly enjoying the feeling of returning to this familiar place.
It was extremely cold and gloomy here, and the faint screams of tortured prisoners and the roars of wild beasts could be heard.
"Are you scared?" Qi Suihuan noticed that she was walking slower and slower, and her whole body seemed to shrink back.
Jiang Zhiyi nodded and stepped forward to take his hand: "I'm scared when you hold my hand."
Her warm little hand grasped his fingers. He didn't say anything, but simply tightened his grip on her hand.
"Your Majesty, this is truly..." Duan Shiyi looked at the two people walking side by side, holding hands, wanting to say something but unable to think of the right words to describe it.
"Lust makes one lose their mind." Duan Twelve recalled a phrase he had read in a storybook.
"Shut up, you don't want to live anymore? Stop reading those novels. Is that a nice thing to say?" Duan Shiyi wanted to slap him across the face.
"I've got it! It must be that beauty can lead people astray," Duan Shiyi said smugly.
Duan Shier pursed his lips and remained silent.
Yes, that's a good word you used.
"Do you know that I spent a long time in this Demon-Devouring Cave?" Qi Suihuan asked her.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't know why he suddenly asked that question, and simply replied, "I've heard of it."
"I do envy you. You have been exceptionally gifted since childhood and are a prodigy."
Jiang Zhiyi gripped his hand tighter, looking at him with a determined gaze: "Actually, I also have many difficulties."
"When I was young, the elders of the clan did not allow me to learn magic, simply because I was unruly and a girl. They all said I would never amount to anything. But I was the only junior in the family, so they brought in many collateral branches, all to replace me."
“Every day I would secretly go to the treasure pavilion to read books, and then I would study them diligently after I returned. This laid the foundation for my later study of magic.”
“My Lord Demon Lord, this is my destiny. I know you have suffered a lot here, but this is also your destiny. The past is past, and we can no longer be trapped by past troubles. I will stay with you from now on.”
Qi Suihuan was slightly taken aback, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Zhiyi breathed a slight sigh of relief. Luckily, she had a quick mind and made up a story.
However, what she said wasn't entirely false; her elders at home did indeed forbid her from touching spells when she was young. This was simply because she was young and ignorant, yet she was able to use extremely powerful spell formations.
So every few days she would either blow up the house or burn down the attic, her destructive power was extremely strong.
To protect her safety and reduce unnecessary property loss, the family forbids her from using spells without permission.
She became depressed and resistant, so her family had no choice but to find many children her age to play with her. Only then did she calm down.
"He's so easy to fool," Jiang Zhiyi thought to herself.
