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

It's that familiar pedestal again, that familiar chain again, and I'm hanging in mid-air again, but at least this time I'm not hanging upside down. That's great, that's great... what a load of rubbish.

That handsome guy down there—oops, that devil—his eyes were absolutely terrifying! He looked at her like she was a piece of fish on a chopping board.

Oh no, his wings have opened! Help! He's flying up! He's flying up!

Yu Xianxian instinctively tried to break free of the chains binding her, but of course, the chains didn't budge at all.

So when the other person came in front of her, Yu Xianxian could only give an awkward but polite smile.

"Hi, Demon Lord, good afternoon, have you had lunch yet?"

Although she knew the conversation would start off a bit outrageous, Si Tu was surprised by how absurd it became: ...Does he look like he'll get to eat here?

Despite the other person's expression of looking at her like she was an idiot, Yu Xianxian continued talking to herself without any sense of embarrassment.

As long as I'm stupid enough, you can't do anything to me.

"Haha, it seems not. But I suppose someone as powerful as the Demon Lord—no, a demon—probably doesn't need to eat. But I'm just a trashy mortal, and mortals still need to eat. Sigh, it just so happens my mom's calling me home for dinner, so if you don't let me go..."

Before she could even utter the last word "go," Yu Xianxian felt as if her mouth had been sewn shut, and she couldn't speak.

Si Tu withdrew his raised hand and looked at Yu Xianxian expressionlessly.

"If you keep talking so much nonsense, I'll make sure you never have to speak again."

It has to be said that the threatening effect of this oppressive feeling was quite strong. Yu Xianxian immediately put on a well-behaved look and used her sincere eyes to show her determination that she would never say another word of nonsense.

She didn't know if it was her sincere gaze that moved the other person, but the next second she felt as if her mouth could move again.

However, for safety reasons, Yu Xianxian didn't say a word. What if this unpredictable big shot really made her mute if he got upset? Then she wouldn't be able to flirt with pretty girls and boys for the rest of her life, hehe…

So, in the silence between them, time slipped away quietly, until…

"What? You're really mute?"

"what?"

Looking at Yu Xianxian's as if she had just woken up from a dream, it's really hard to doubt whether she knows her current situation.

It turns out that Yu Xianxian probably really didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have been drooling over beautiful women and handsome men just a second ago.

"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

He inexplicably received a mask that appeared out of nowhere, inexplicably discovered that a demon was imprisoned inside, and inexplicably was able to enter the space inside the mask. Most importantly, he couldn't get rid of the mask for no reason.

A normal person would have asked that question the first time they came in, but what was Yu Xianxian doing at the time?

Ah, yes, she was coveting someone's beauty. Then, upon learning that the other person was the Demon Lord Si Tu, all she could think about was making a quick getaway.

Yu Xianxian, who decided to speak out for herself: Just kidding, such a handsome guy, who wouldn't be captivated by his good looks at first glance?

Besides, how would she know he was Si Tu? You know that the person in front of you is a bloodthirsty demon lord who can easily crush you. Aren't you afraid?

Anyway, Yu Xianxian was cowardly and self-righteous. She was just scared, so what?

"Um, cough cough, Demon Lord, what would you like me to ask?"

Yu Xianxian felt that it was best to remain silent for now, so as not to offend the old man with any words, and then the script could be prepared for the banquet again.

"Do you remember when I said I wanted to make a deal with you?"

"Ah, it seems that's true."

Yu Xianxian was somewhat confused. Was she supposed to ask this kind of question? Demon Lord, shouldn't you lift her chin and say to her with a condescending expression, "Woman, it is your honor to make a deal with me?" That would be more appropriate, wouldn't it?

A scriptwriter says: "Don't mind him, everyone. This idiot probably read too many CEO romance novels. Plus, there's a really handsome guy in front of him, so, well, he's having a little trouble controlling himself."

Yu Xianxian, who was indeed a little unable to control herself: Ugh, you're the idiot! This is just a normal fantasy based on her character... guess.

"I've given you so much time, have you thought it through and accepted?"

With a big question mark on her small head, Yu Xianxian asked, "Um, Demon Lord, you haven't told me what the terms of the deal are yet?"

"You don't need to know this for now. You just need to decide whether you want to accept it or not."

Yu Xianxian: ...This Demon Lord's attitude is somewhat gentle, but not much. Could it be that he's going through menopause?

A certain dog demon lord who seems to be going through menopause: Strange, why does it feel like someone is slandering him?

"Then may I choose not to accept it?"

Just kidding. Putting aside the fact that she doesn't even know the details of the deal, even if she did, given the other party's reputation, well, she would almost certainly not agree to it.

"Of course, I'm a reasonable person."

really?

Looking at the ambiguous smile on the other person's face, Yu Xianxian swallowed hard. If the other person was planning to kill her in a moment, she'd better back down first.

But Si Tu insisted that he was a civilized person and wouldn't resort to violence so easily. He showed no intention of making a move, and after staring at Yu Xianxian for a few seconds to confirm that she truly didn't intend to accept, he landed back on the ground, and then…

Then, I began to meditate.

Yu Xianxian, still bound by chains and floating in the air: ...

Brother, don't go! There's still someone here.

Since there's no deal, shouldn't we let her go?

Okay, Yu Xianxian understands. This guy probably isn't against using violence; he's using passive-aggressive tactics.

It may seem like they're doing nothing, but they're actually threatening her. If she doesn't accept, she can forget about leaving standing up.

After realizing this, Yu Xianxian's lips twitched. She figured that whatever she said now would be useless unless she accepted the other party's so-called deal.

"Sigh," she sighed. Although she was unwilling, it wasn't unexpected. Yu Xianxian had never expected the other party to be a reasonable person.

"Your Majesty, after careful consideration, I feel it would be an honor to cooperate with a powerful figure like you. Therefore, whatever deal you wish to make with me, I will agree to it, and it will all be a sincere and voluntary transaction."

With a seemingly benevolent smile, Yu Xianxian uttered the most insincere words, feeling utterly exhausted.
