The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

"Really? I thought you were fast asleep."

Yu Xianxian: ...The point isn't "sleep," it's "die," right?

"Don't worry, Demon Lord, I'm still young and can endure it. Unlike you, who are already quite old..."

"Ha, if it weren't for the effects of this body, do you think I would need to rest?"

"Oh, that's perfect. Didn't your good subordinate say he was going to prepare a new body for you?"

Yu Xianxian stopped halfway through her sentence and pretended to refute herself, saying, "Oh dear, that's not right. Come to think of it, those other bodies don't seem to be up to the task. It seems you can only use my body, that of a mere mortal."

"Ha, you stayed up all night just to make fun of me."

Si Tu snorted coldly. After so many verbal battles, he had become increasingly resistant to Yu Xianxian's verbal attacks.

"Of course not. Besides mocking you, I also have to praise myself. After all, my body is so amazing that it can even hold all of your demonic energy, Demon Lord. Don't you think I'm incredible?"

After listening to Yu Xianxian finish speaking through gritted teeth, Si Tu sneered and said, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have condescended to live in a mortal's body."

"When did you find out? When the secret realm possessed me... No, that doesn't feel like it, it was earlier... Damn, did you know from the beginning?"

"What's the point of worrying about these things now? What can you do right now?"

Hearing Yu Xianxian's irritated tone, Si Tu's lips curled into a mocking smile. The despair, helplessness, and frustration he felt towards her own weakness were the emotions he wanted to see in her.

She thought she would feel fear when she first learned of his existence, but unexpectedly, he was the one who was countered most of the time.

But now, are you finally starting to get scared?

Yu Xianxian was indeed a little panicked. After all, so many things had deviated greatly from expectations. A few months ago, she could still think, "At worst, I can rely on the script." But now that the script was like this, Yu Xianxian had a feeling that she could no longer use the script, otherwise things might really get out of control.

Okay, Yu Xianxian, calm down. Although we're not good at using our brains, it doesn't mean we're brainless. After all, we're an author, and we can't let the villains in our own books kill us.

But thinking about it carefully, this difference in strength... actually seems quite significant...

"By the way, what you told me at the beginning about being sealed away and losing all your demonic energy, was that all a lie?"

"Ha, why should I tell you?"

“Actually, even if you didn’t say it, I could guess it. After all, you said that you were sealed into that broken mask by Shen Mengxi, but in fact, Senior Sister Yun is Shen Mengxi. When she saw that broken mask, she didn’t react at all.”

As Yu Xianxian spoke, she secretly clenched her fist. No wonder those chains didn't bind this prisoner back then, but instead obeyed him. This bastard's acting in front of her was just a charade, and she actually believed him at the time.

Yu Xianxian tapped her head, wondering if she was too naive back then or if she believed too much that Shen Mengxi could seal Si Tu. She guessed it was a combination of both.

"So what if it is? Yu Xianxian, I told you, even if you know all this, there's nothing you can do."

"That's not necessarily true. After all, given your personality, you wouldn't stoop to lying to a mere mortal like me. If I'm not mistaken, you're saying this to prove to me that you pose no threat..."

The next second after hearing this, Si Tu burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, to prove I'm not a threat? Yu Xianxian, aren't you taking yourself too seriously? Why would I need to show weakness to you? I'm just a mere mortal... I'm only worried about that woman, Shen Mengxi."

"Oh, really? Even so, what does the contract mean?"

"It's nothing, just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"You granted me three wishes on a whim. Wow, you're a really kind person, Demon Lord."

Si Tu frowned upon hearing this: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Originally, you said you didn't want my body because it was too trashy, so you used three wishes to exchange for another body, and I believed you. But now, it seems you're quite happy using my body, aren't you?"

Yu Xianxian touched her chin. If she wasn't mistaken...

"You actually wanted to possess my body from the beginning, didn't you? But why didn't you just take over my body directly? Instead, you made me sign some stupid contract. Don't tell me it's because you're kind-hearted; I won't believe a single punctuation mark of that. As for why, I guess..."

Before Yu Xianxian could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Si Tu.

"It's the will of Heaven that limits me. So what? Your foolishness helped me seize this body, and I am the winner now. As for how it happened, ha, what can you do even if you know?"

"Really? But I can still control half of my body. People who open champagne halfway through a match always end up with a terrible death, Si Tu."

"That's just because I didn't deliberately stop you, Yu Xianxian. Your mental strength is pitifully weak. I could take control of your entire body at any time if I wanted to."

"Hmm, it seems so."

To Ling Situ's surprise, Yu Xianxian sighed upon hearing this, looking as listless as a dried-up salted fish.

"It's no use knowing now, since you, you old bastard, have already succeeded. And my senior sister is seriously injured; I estimate she won't recover for at least a year or two. Even the script is unusable. You know, I believed your nonsense back then, thinking I'd make a fortune with three wishes, but I never expected you, shameless bastard, to have been plotting against me from the very beginning. Oh well, it's no use now. But why did you know from the start that my body was so special and target me?"

After all that talking, was the last sentence still an attempt to trick him into revealing something?

Has no one ever told you that your acting is terrible?

"is it?"

Yu Xianxian feigned surprise. Well, she wasn't exactly a skilled actress to begin with, and she couldn't help but curse whenever a certain person was mentioned, making it really hard for her to continue acting.

……

"Hey, Demon Lord, do you think you're invincible right now?"

"Are you ever going to stop?"

"Hmph, you don't understand, do you? What I'm doing now is giving you a buff. People who get buffs often end up getting punished in the end."

"Ha, sanctions? You mean the Way of Heaven? As long as I don't violate the rules of the Way of Heaven, what can it do to me? Unless, someone can violate the rules of the Way of Heaven."

Violating the rules of nature...

Upon hearing this, two words immediately popped into Yu Xianxian's mind: "script".
