After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

Qu Ziyuan left Fang Jingqiu in the house and went out to deal with the other demons for a few days until one night when Qu Ziyuan knocked on her door.

"Is Miss ready?"

Fang Jingqiu nodded and asked, "Are you really going to see me out?"

"Since I promised you, Miss, I won't go back on my word." Qu Ziyuan turned around to observe the surroundings, then extended his hand to her and said, "There's no one around, let's go."

Fang Jingqiu followed Qu Ziyuan through the houses and, unexpectedly, did not encounter any demons. She escaped the prison that had confined her for several months without any trouble.

She watched as the figure in front of her ran off in a certain direction without stopping, and she couldn't help but become more and more doubtful. Had the person in front of her really not changed?

Noticing that the person behind her had slowed down, Qu Ziyuan stopped, turned around, and asked, "Are you tired, Miss? We're not far from the exit. Would you like to rest for a while?"

She frowned and refused, saying, "I'm fine. It's important to get out of here quickly, or they'll find out."

Upon hearing this, Qu Ziyuan's tone carried a pressure he himself was unaware of: "It's just a short rest, it'll be fine."

"Why did you say it was nothing?" she asked after a pause. "You're not Qu Ziyuan, are you?"

A guilty look flashed across the man's face. Seeing this, Fang Jingqiu understood immediately. With lightning speed, he snapped off a tree branch and thrust it at Qu Ziyuan. Qu Ziyuan dodged backward, gathering demonic energy in his palm and striking at Fang Jingqiu. His voice was ruthless as he said, "Why did you find out so quickly? It would have only taken a moment to make you willingly stay in the Demon Realm and serve us."

She barely dodged the attacking demonic energy, only to be knocked to the ground by another tremendous force. Just as she was about to get up, Lin Sui, who had attacked her from behind, knocked her unconscious.

"Your movement technique is impressive, but how can a cripple with no cultivation compare to us?"

Fang Jingqiu woke up again with a sharp pain in her leg. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Sui directing the putting away of the hammer and other weapons. Seeing that she was awake, he said to her, "From today onwards, you don't need to think about escaping from here anymore. If you listen to us obediently, we can give you healing medicine. It's not impossible for you to be able to walk again."

Her head was spinning from the pain, and she tried her best to make out the meaning of the words. It took her a long time to realize that her legs had been broken by Lin Sui and the others. Being hung up was unpleasant, and her wounds were bleeding. Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, she had a feeling that she was going to die in this torture chamber.

Through her blurred vision, she vaguely saw a man leading a wooden wheelchair into the torture chamber and hurriedly putting her down.

"Miss, wake up! Don't sleep! You mustn't sleep..."

In the midst of the chaos, Fang Jingqiu felt as if she had returned to the days of recuperating at Danlu Peak. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw several unfamiliar maids kneeling on her legs applying medicine. Seeing that she was awake, the maids did not announce her arrival but continued to quietly go about their business.

Just as Fang Jingqiu was about to speak, someone maliciously poured all the medicinal wine onto her wound. The pain made her instinctively want to back away, but she found that she couldn't feel her foot at all.

"Why are you still so restless even after becoming a cripple? No wonder the adults broke your knees."

As soon as Qu Ziyuan entered the room, he heard a maid talking about Fang Jingqiu like that. He immediately kicked her and cursed, "You lowly servant, how dare you speak to her like that?"

Fang Jingqiu kept her head down and quietly observed Qu Ziyuan in front of her. The current Qu Ziyuan was so different from the one in the cultivation world that she couldn't tell whether his current behavior was due to Qu Ziyuan's true nature or because he had become a demon.

After having all the maids taken away, Qu Ziyuan squatted down in front of her wheelchair, gently stroking her knees and asking, "I went to Lin Sui and got some elixirs. Are you feeling any better now?"

Seeing her shake her head, Qu Ziyuan frowned and was about to go find Lin Sui to demand an explanation when Fang Jingqiu suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, saying, "I'm a little scared, A-Yuan, will you stay with me for a while?"

Hearing her say that, Qu Ziyuan was overjoyed and immediately asked her if there was anything she wanted to eat, so he could have it prepared and sent over.

"I have no appetite... Do you have any stories in the Demon Realm? I'd like to read some." Fang Jingqiu asked with a fragile smile.

Upon hearing this, Qu Ziyuan thought for a moment and said, "Let me have someone find you a few. Besides storybooks, is there anything else you want?"

Upon receiving her negative answer, Qu Ziyuan stood up and said, "I will replace your maids with a new batch. I should go now. I'll come back to find you when I have some free time."

Watching Qu Ziyuan walk out the door, Fang Jingqiu stared at his shattered knee, pondering how to get more out of Qu Ziyuan next.

Originally, I still had a glimmer of hope for Qu Ziyuan. Although I didn't know what Lin Sui and the others were trying to do by tricking me out, I was certain that they were now on the same side.

She currently has nothing on her that can be used as a weapon, and it seems that these people are very wary of her. However, there's always a way out, and she'll always find a way to get something.

For the next few dozen days, Qu Ziyuan would come to chat with Fang Jingqiu whenever she had time. Each time, she would pretend to be frightened by Lin Sui and appear extremely insecure. Gradually, not only Qu Ziyuan, but even Lin Sui lowered her guard against her, although she was still not allowed to leave the house.

On this day, Qu Ziyuan brought food to Fang Jingqiu's room and saw her staring blankly at the candlelight. Ever since he agreed to let someone impersonate him to deceive Fang Jingqiu, Fang Jingqiu had been staring blankly at the candlelight every time he left.

"Miss, shall I take you out for a stroll?"

A surge of joy welled up inside her, but fear flashed across her face. She reached for the wheels of her wheelchair, preparing to move away from Qu Ziyuan, muttering, "I don't want to, I won't go, you're fake!"

He took a few steps forward, trying to calm Fang Jingqiu down, but before he could get close, Fang Jingqiu grabbed an empty candlestick and threw it at him, yelling like a madman, "You're not A Yuan! Get out of here! Get out!"

Although he dodged in time, he was still injured on the forehead by the candlestick. When the maids in the room saw that their young master was injured, they swarmed around him and asked if he was alright. Qu Ziyuan was annoyed by their questions, so he pushed them all away and said angrily, "I sent you here to take care of the young lady. Why don't you hurry up and check if the young lady was cut by the candlestick?"

Seeing the maids preparing to surround them, Fang Jingqiu grabbed a candlestick with a burning candle and pointed it at them, saying, "Don't come any closer! You're all fake! Get out of here! I don't want you! I don't want you!"

Seeing the wax dripping onto the ground, Qu Ziyuan was afraid that the wax would burn Fang Jingqiu, so he quickly left the room with his maid, making sure to close the door before leaving.

Once everyone was out of the room, Fang Jingqiu chuckled softly, put the candlestick back on the table, stretched, tore up the storybook he had hidden, and then casually picked up two sheets of paper and used hot wax to draw talismans on them.

After today's commotion, who knows what surprises Qu Ziyuan will bring him in the days to come?
