Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 353 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [29]

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, and after confirming that Shijia did not seem to be blaming her, she smiled gently and said, "I'm glad the Master didn't find it offensive."

When he smiled, his alluring features gained a touch of gentleness. Unlike the dim yellow of yesterday's firelight, the morning sun was shining brightly, and the light fell on him, making his face look as clean as snow on a mountain peak. His aura was clear and pure from the inside out.

Occasionally, a breeze would blow through the woods, causing strands of Jiang Xiyu's soft silver hair, draped over her shoulders, to fall gracefully down.

Shiga's robe fluttered for a moment as he gazed silently at Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu's eyes and words were filled with reverence and devotion towards him.

The saying goes, "A superior being can see through a person's voice." His voice, which had been gently echoing in Shiga's dreamlike state last night, dispelled the chill in him.

"Mage?"

Seeing that Shijia didn't move, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but approach him.

The face was closer, and the eyes revealed Shiga's cold demeanor.

Shiga gazed at him for a long while, then lowered his eyes and walked past him.

As they passed each other, her long, silvery hair brushed against Shiga's robe as if trying to hold him back.

Shiga sat back down on the stone platform.

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Shijia.

Shiga closed his eyes in meditation, but the aura around him was no longer so cold.

Jiang Xiyu knew that he would meditate like this every morning, so she didn't say anything. She was even afraid of disturbing him, so she made sure to walk very quietly.

He went to fetch some water for Shiga and, being very clean, even washed his own face.

When he returned, he looked at the snake demon trapped in the golden lotus, who seemed to have some desire for the gourd in his hand.

Jiang Xiyu then remembered that the snake demon hadn't eaten or drunk a drop of water along the way.

When the snake demon saw Jiang Xiyu looking over, it lowered its head in fear.

Jiang Xiyu used leaves to fetch some water for him, gesturing for him to drink, and warned him in a demonic language that only the two of them could understand not to reveal his identity.

The snake demon knew that the great sorcerer wouldn't do anything to him, and that he would eventually fall back into the hands of the demon emperor. So when he heard that the sorcerer had said so, he immediately agreed with trepidation.

Jiang Xiyu smiled coldly.

He watched the snake demon drink water, then suddenly whispered, "Bite me."

The snake demon thought it had misheard and immediately widened its eyes in fear.

The smile in Jiang Xiyu's eyes didn't reach his eyes, and his bewitching eyebrows seemed to have gained a touch of evil.

He held out the leaf-filled hand to the snake demon and said impatiently, "Bite."

Seeing this, the snake demon had no choice but to bite his hand trembling with fear, but he dared not inject venom.

After being bitten, Jiang Xiyu praised the snake demon, saying, "Good child."

The snake demon bit someone and was even praised; this was truly the first time in its life that a demon had ever done this.

But before he could even feel happy, Jinlian's suppression suddenly made him feel breathless.

Upon seeing Jinlian's reaction, Jiang Xiyu immediately looked up and glanced back.

Shiga walked over and put the golden lotus containing the snake demon into his sleeve.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Master, has your magic power returned?"

Shiga nodded slightly, but his gaze fell on the hand that had been bitten.

He glanced at Jiang Xiyu, gesturing for him to extend his hand.

Under that indifferent yet unquestionable gaze, Jiang Xiyu, having achieved her goal, reluctantly extended her hand.

Her slender, fair hand was already somewhat bruised and purple where she had been bitten.

Shiga stared at his wound, and seeing that the snake demon's bite had not injected any venom, he lowered his eyes.

Jiang Xiyu pretended to be afraid, clutching her wrist and muttering, "Master, Master, am I going to die?"

His fingertips reached out to tug at Shiga's sleeve again.

Shiga shook his head, wiped away his wounds, and said, "Don't come close so easily next time."

He was told not to approach such a demonic creature lightly.

Jiang Xiyu nodded obediently.

He looked at Shiga's slender hand that landed on the back of his hand, and after a short while, he withdrew it.

When Jiang Xiyu looked up, he found that Shijia had been watching him the whole time, his eyes clear and deep.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu looking over, Shijia subtly shifted his gaze away.

When Jiang Xiyu was in his original form, Shiga could approach him at will, but when he was in human form, Jiang Xiyu smiled helplessly to himself.

Having gotten the care she wanted, Jiang Xiyu reverted to her original form.

Shiga was slightly taken aback and looked down at him.

Jiang Xiyu circled around him, her tail held high, and rubbed her face against his clothes, her tone as dependent as ever.

As if knowing that Shiga wouldn't refuse, he said matter-of-factly, "Master, hold me, I don't want to walk anymore."

"I still feel a little numb in my hands."

Shiga paused for a moment, then bent down and picked him up.

Jiang Xiyu didn't lie on Shijia's arm, but instead exposed her soft belly to him, as if trying to please him.

When a cat shows its most vulnerable side, it means it completely trusts the person.

Shiga held him more gently, but did not touch him.

Jiang Xiyu wasn't annoyed; its tail swayed back and forth in the air.

He seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "Master, didn't you say your magic power would take three days to recover?"

He had just seen Shiga retract the Golden Lotus, and his magical power seemed to have been restored.

Shiga held him and explained calmly, "This time it's a bit faster than usual."

As for the reason, Shiga did not say.

He felt the warmth beneath Jiang Xiyu's soft fur in his palm. This was the first time he had such a clear perception of Jiang Xiyu while holding him.

However, this perception will gradually fade as his magical power recovers.

Jiang Xiyu was unaware that he could sense temperature; he only felt that Shijia's hands seemed less cold.

The soft cat ears trembled, then swept across Shiga's palm.

Jiang Xiyu looked at Shijia and smiled sincerely, "As long as the mage is alright, that's good."

Shiga lowered his eyes to meet his gaze, and suddenly whispered a thank you.

Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "No need to thank me, Master. Absorbing merit for you has also increased my magical power quite a bit."

Their relationship is mutually beneficial. Shiga can avoid the backlash, and Jiang Xiyu can increase his cultivation level by absorbing these merits.

Seeing that his front leg, which had just been bitten, was bent, Shiga instructed him, "Once you're in the demon realm, don't wander off."

Jiang Xiyu asked, "Can I still go see my friends?"

Shiga gave a faint "hmm".

He paused for a moment, and the Buddhist seal on his forehead appeared for a fleeting instant. Suddenly, a string of Buddhist beads appeared in front of Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu was somewhat puzzled.

Shiga put the string of prayer beads on his front paw.

The prayer beads changed size according to Jiang Xiyu's wrist. Now that he was in his original form, the prayer beads became incredibly delicate and small.

Jiang Xiyu shook her front paws and called out to Shiga with some confusion, "Master?"

Shiga said calmly, "It will protect you."

When Shiga entered the demon realm, he was searching for evil thoughts. Jiang Xiyu was going to see his friends, so to avoid any unforeseen events, Shiga gave him this string of Buddhist prayer beads. With the prayer beads, even if he wasn't by the cat's side, the prayer beads could still protect him.

Just by wearing the prayer beads on his wrist, Jiang Xiyu could already feel the power they contained.

He had seen the prayer beads that Shigatse held, which could contain all living beings, and the one he was wearing now was clearly also an extraordinary ritual implement.

Jiang Xiyu stared at them for a while, then, after regaining her senses, said with a rather flattered tone, "Master, you should keep these prayer beads; they are too precious."

"Your journey to the demon realm may be fraught with peril, but it will protect you."

Shiga looked at him silently, brooking no argument.

Jiang Xiyu touched the prayer beads with her soft flesh, and after a while, nodded.

He said, "Thank you, Master."

The monsters of Tide Ridge had all gone into hiding, and after sensing the Buddha's light, they dared not come out to offend.

Shiga carried him toward the border between humans and demons.

Seeing that his expression remained calm and there were no signs of any backlash, Jiang Xiyu finally felt relieved and leaned against him with peace of mind. Looking at the distant, rolling mountains, she unconsciously closed her eyes.

Shiga's steps were steady and slow, and the shadow of him holding Jiang Xiyu was stretched longer and longer by the sunlight.
