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

However, despite their outward appearance of peace, undercurrents were still surging beneath the surface.

Three months passed in this way. Jiang Xiyu was almost inseparable from Yuejia. While watching over him, he also used half of his demon power to condense a magical artifact to restrain Yuejia.

Jiang Xiyu refined this magical artifact because he discovered that Yuejia's cultivation level had been rising every day for the past three months for some unknown reason, without any sign of stopping.

At first, Jiang Xiyu attributed the reason to Yuejia absorbing the merits he had given him, but gradually, Jiang Xiyu realized something was wrong.

He discovered that even without giving Yuejia merit, Yuejia's cultivation level was still rising. Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but worry that if Yuejia's cultivation level continued to rise like this for a long time, one day, the Demon Emperor's Palace would no longer be able to contain him.

Jiang Xiyu had no choice but to use half of his demonic power to condense a shackle artifact when the first signs appeared. With this artifact, he could not only sense Yuejia at all times, but also slow down Yuejia's cultivation speed, and even suppress his cultivation when necessary.

To avoid arousing Yuejia's suspicion, Jiang Xiyu transformed the refined magical artifact into a string of Bodhi beads.

He arranged for people to find some rare and precious treasures from the demon realm, and put this string of Bodhi beads inside. Then he ordered his demon servants to send all these treasures to the Demon Emperor's Palace.

The Demon Emperor's Palace was already extravagant, and its treasures were countless. Now, with such an overwhelming stream of gifts, the demons were even more amazed by the Demon Emperor's favor towards the Demon Queen.

Yuejia wasn't interested in these material possessions, but when the demon servants spoke of their envy, it greatly satisfied his inherently greedy nature, so he left everything behind.

When Jiang Xiyu entered the hall, he found Yuejia sitting on a jade platform by the lotus pond, playing with a jade ruyi.

He wore a lotus crown and was adorned with jeweled necklaces. His face was serene and his eyes were slightly lowered, as pure and untainted as the Water Moon Guanyin. He seemed to be enveloped in a soft, gentle halo.

Rippling water, as ethereal as smoke and clouds.

Yuejia always liked to sit there and listen to the sound of falling water.

Jiang Xiyu felt that Yuejia gave him an indescribable feeling, especially when his gaze was seen through the water curtain, vast and desolate.

Water fell into the pond, creating ripples, and the lotus flowers swayed.

Yuejia looked at Jiang Xiyu, but couldn't quite make out his face.

Suddenly, the water curtain stopped falling.

His vision cleared, and he met Jiang Xiyu's gaze quietly.

Jiang Xiyu looked at him with a very gentle gaze. After a while, Yuejia seemed to guess something. He felt that Jiang Xiyu seemed to really like his appearance.

In truth, for Yuejia, the physical form was merely a tool to embellish the skeleton within.

But Jiang Xiyu's gaze pleased him greatly. He was happy to see Jiang Xiyu staring blankly at his face. When he was lost in thought, Yue Jia felt an indescribable feeling. Perhaps he just felt that Jiang Xiyu's infatuation with him satisfied his competitive spirit.

It was as if, in Jiang Xiyu's eyes, he had already defeated Shiga once, and time again...

However, the longer Yue Jia spent with Jiang Xiyu, the less impatient he felt he had imagined. On the contrary, he could feel a sense of pleasure.

This sense of pleasure might be because Jiang Xiyu was by his side, and Shijia longed for him but could not have him.

Shiga was tormented by this greed, while Chandragupta was filled with joy.

Besides.

What else could bring him joy?

Yuejia watched Jiang Xiyu approach and heard him ask her, "Do you like the things I gave you?"

Yuejia rubbed the jade ruyi in her palm with her fingertips, neither saying she liked it nor disliked it.

He only asked, "Why are you sending these?"

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then smiled slightly at him and asked in return, "I wonder if these things will please you?"

His favor?

Sending so many gifts just to please him?

For some reason, Yuejia felt a sudden surge of joy because of those words.

But he didn't show it on his face, and seemed completely indifferent to the things Jiang Xiyu had given him.

Jiang Xiyu looked at the boxes filled with treasures in the hall, and then walked over.

When Yuejia noticed that Jiang Xiyu wasn't sitting next to him as usual, she frowned slightly, wondering what he was up to.

Jiang Xiyu walked straight to a box, then bent down and fiddled with it, finding the Bodhi seed bracelet hidden under the treasure.

He took the bracelet and walked back to Yuejia, then sat down beside him and whispered, "Hand."

Yuejia's gaze fell on the Bodhi in his palm, and she was slightly taken aback.

The Bodhi tree is like jade, and it doesn't look particularly special.

He didn't understand why Jiang Xiyu had brought this thing over.

Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Xiyu took the initiative to reach out and grab his wrist.

A warm sensation spread across her skin, and the jade ruyi in her palm fell to the ground, making a crisp sound as it hit the jade base, like a string breaking, or like something else suddenly vibrating.

Yuejia opened her mouth, but didn't pull her hand back. She only asked, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xiyu lowered her eyes and put the Bodhi on his finger, trying to keep her tone gentle as she explained, "This is something I made especially for you to keep you safe."

Although it suppresses his cultivation level, it can also protect him in critical moments.

As Jiang Xiyu spoke, she seemed to remember something and added, "If I'm not by your side in the future, you can call me by this..."

Yuejia raised her wrist and glanced at it, noticing what Jiang Xiyu had said, and asked, "Was this made especially for me?"

Jiang Xiyu nodded.

Yuejia asked again, her tone devoid of emotion: "If I call you, will you come?"

Seeing that he didn't seem unwilling to wear it, Jiang Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief and went along with his wishes, saying, "Of course, if you call me, I will come."

Clearly, Yuejia has absolutely no need for something like this.

Nothing was needed; he simply appeared beside her.

But looking at their clasped hands, a feeling that was even more unbearable than the passion of that night welled up in his heart.

The thing stung his chest; it didn't hurt, but it was a slightly itchy feeling.

However, his thoughts were in turmoil, and he couldn't quite make out what was causing him such torment...

As he was lost in thought, Jiang Xiyu gently lowered his hand.

Yuejia's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up. Because of the itch in his heart, he seemed to want to get away from Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu watched him walk out of the lotus pond and jade platform, and felt much more at ease seeing that he was wearing a bodhi.

Once he puts on this Bodhi seed, he can't take it off. With this protection, he can return to the Compassionate Temple.

Three months have passed. Apart from speaking with Shiga through the prayer beads last time, Jiang Xiyu knows nothing about his condition, whether his magical power has recovered, or whether he is alright. In addition, Shiga's desire for cultivation is growing stronger, and the merit within Jiang Xiyu's body is no longer enough to satisfy him. He can only return to the Compassion Temple to absorb merit, and also wants to go back and see...

The hall remained silent for a while. Jiang Xiyu, watching Yuejia's retreating figure, suddenly announced, "I plan to return to Cibei Temple tomorrow..."

"I feel at ease knowing you're wearing it."
