After Jiang Jiao ran out of the house, she gasped for breath, patted her chest, and said to herself with lingering fear: "Fortunately, my acting skills are superb, otherwise I would be in big trouble!"

She secretly thanked herself for not revealing any flaws in her performance just now, and successfully deceived Li Qiye. This way, she could buy more time to prepare for the next plan.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she did not dare to relax at all. She knew that in order to truly solve the problem, she needed to work harder and be more cautious. So, she took a deep breath, sorted out her thoughts, and began to think about what to do next...

As expected, the Demon Lord and Jiang Jiao fell into a cold war.

But every time Jiang Jiao finished cooking and was about to eat, the Demon Lord would appear on the table with his words not being true and he would never admit that he was attracted by the food.

So much so that even if they were in a cold war, he would come to Jiang Jiao's place to eat. At first, Jiang Jiao was going to pretend to be indifferent and ignore him, but as the dignified Lord Demon, he just stared at Jiang Jiao.

He felt uneasy because of Jiang Jiao's stare, so he took an extra set of bowl and chopsticks, tacitly acknowledging that he would eat with him.

Days like this continued for some time.

That day, at the dinner table.

The Demon Lord picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly and then swallowing it.

He felt that the cold war during this period was too awkward. So he casually said, "This dish tastes good."

Jiang Jiao was secretly happy that someone praised her cooking skills, so she was naturally happy. But on the surface, she pretended to be calm and said "hmm".

Seeing this, the Demon Lord continued, "You seem to be in a good mood today."

Jiang Jiao raised her head and glanced at him, "I just made a few dishes I like."

"It seems that you like cooking very much." The Demon Lord said thoughtfully.

Jiang Jiao smiled and said, "I guess so. Cooking can help me relax."

The two looked at each other in silence and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

At this time, the Demon Lord suddenly stood up and said, "I'm done eating. I'll go back first."

Jiang Jiao nodded. I guess it's time.

That night, the Demon Lord indeed softened his attitude and came to Jiang Jiao with a gift.

Jiang Jiao still had a cold look on her face.

Black-clothed Mo Li handed the gift to her. He said with a hint of anticipation in his taunting tone: "Open it and take a look."

Jiang Jiao took it and opened the box. A token was placed on a piece of gorgeous clothing.

Jiang Jiao asked in surprise: "What is this?"

Black-clothed Mo Li coughed lightly and said solemnly: "This is a storage token that I made myself. It contains my private collection accumulated over the years, such as natural treasures, spiritual stones and other precious items. You can use it as you wish, without any worries."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves lightly, and a gorgeous robe floated out. It was shining with light, and it was obviously not an ordinary item.

"This is the most outstanding robe of the Nishang Pavilion. It is not only exquisite in appearance, but also has excellent defensive power. In my opinion, it is a perfect match for you."

Then, he looked deeply at the person in front of him and said slowly, "As for what you said, I have also thought deeply about it. It is true that I do not have a strong desire to form a partner at the moment.

But, but if it is you, I am willing to... ahem... consider it carefully. Perhaps, we can spend some time together first to get to know each other better... um, what do you think?"

After saying this, Mo Li's ears turned slightly red, like ripe apples, but he tried hard to act as if he didn't care about it at all.

However, in reality, his heart was beating like a deer, and he was very nervous, waiting for Jiang Jiao's answer nervously. Time passed by, and every second seemed to be extended infinitely, making him feel particularly long and unbearable.

He couldn't help but pray silently in his heart, hoping that Jiang Jiao would give him a satisfactory answer...

Finally, after a long and nervous wait, Jiang Jiao smiled, and that smile was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

"In that case, I think it's great." She said softly, her voice clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature that entered his ears.

These few simple words flowed through his heart like a clear spring, making him feel extremely comfortable and happy.

He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Jiao in disbelief, with an indescribable joy welling up in his heart.

At this moment, he felt that the whole world had become beautiful, the sun was especially bright, and the air was especially fresh. The cold war of the past two days made him feel like a stone was pressing on his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

And now, he just felt refreshed all over.

Two days passed peacefully and calmly. During these two days, Mo Li and Jiang Jiao seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in the world and immersed themselves in their own world.

Hand in hand, they strolled along the seashore in the early morning light, welcoming the warmth of the first ray of sunshine; they also sat side by side on the top of a mountain at dusk, watching the sunset gradually sink to the west, letting the afterglow lengthen each other's shadows.

At night, they lay on the lawn, looking up at the vast starry sky, searching for the brightest star that belonged to them. The stars twinkled, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them, witnessing this beautiful love.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, with only two people hugging each other tightly, enjoying this rare tranquility and sweetness.

Although Jiang Jiao felt a little sorry for Mo Li, after all, she lied to protect herself, but if necessary, she still had to follow part of the original heroine's plot.

After all, at this stage Mo Li had already obtained the artifact, but he had his own ideas and did not want to recognize them.

But if he can't be stopped, I'm afraid it will lead to a greater tragedy. Although the original heroine and the demon king's story is really a bit bad, both of them are talking but not saying anything, it's just a pure misunderstanding.

It was physically and mentally abusive, and in the end he was forced to give up the plan after chasing his wife to the crematorium.

But Jiang Jiao is different, she has a mouth. In order to complete this part of the plot, Bai Yi Mo Li must give up the plan.

At present, Jiang Jiao doesn’t know what to do and can only take it one step at a time.

Early in the morning of that day, the sunlight shone into the room through the window lattice, making the whole house look bright and warm.

Jiang Jiao got up early, walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started preparing today's breakfast. She skillfully cut vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, and cooked rice, and every move was full of confidence and skill.

Soon, a table of sumptuous food was placed on the table, the aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering. Jiang Jiao looked at the food she made herself and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Mo Li also came over. When he saw the delicious food on the table, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The two sat opposite each other and began to enjoy this sumptuous breakfast.

They were eating and chatting in a very harmonious atmosphere. Just when they were eating with gusto, a subordinate suddenly came to report on official business.

Mo Li glanced at Jiang Jiao and wanted to ask her to step aside, but he felt that it was unnecessary. So, he asked his subordinate to come in and talk.

The subordinate walked into the room and reported something to Mo Li. Mo Li listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show his agreement. Jiang Jiao sat quietly aside, not saying anything, just eating her food silently.

Then I heard them talking about the strange fire.

"I have found the exact location of the strange fire, but the Burning Heaven Fire is too powerful for me to tame. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Mo Li stopped his actions and said, "It's okay. The strange fire is extraordinary. I will tame it myself."

After his subordinate finished his report, Li Qiye asked him to leave first. Then, he turned to look at Jiang Jiao and said with a smile, "You have worked really hard these days."

Jiang Jiao smiled slightly and said, "This is what I should do. As long as I can help you, I will be very happy."

Mo Li's heart moved, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently hold Jiang Jiao's hand. Jiang Jiao's face flushed, she lowered her head and smiled shyly.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two of them became particularly warm, as if they were the only two people in the whole world.
