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

Taking refuge?

When Jiang Xiyu heard those two words, something began to stir within him, something he found hard to let go of. But once he agreed to convert to Buddhism, he would inevitably have to relinquish these very things that were so hard to part with.

Shigatsa could renounce it because he was already a member of the Buddhist community.

Jiang Xiyu always believed that the momentary infatuation he felt back then was nothing more than a fleeting memory.

He possesses profound knowledge of Buddhist teachings and a thorough understanding of Buddhist principles; he will eventually see through the illusions of the mortal world.

But Jiang Xiyu was different.

Aside from his special status as a demon, he was just an ordinary person entangled in the seven emotions and six desires.

Ultimately, he too has the emotions and desires that a human being should have, and he also has things he cannot give up.

It is said that letting go brings freedom.

But the word "let go" is easy to say, but incredibly difficult to do.

In this world, there are very few people who can truly 'let go'.

Jiang Xiyu is the one who clearly knows that she can't let go.

In the past, he held Shiga in a very high position in his heart.

He admired his noble character and revered his compassion and tolerance. He felt that such a pure person should not be tainted by the world.

Therefore, he deliberately ignored his feelings for Shiga and the difference between Shiga and him. He didn't even want to think about it deeply because he felt that Shiga could not possibly have human emotions.

He attributed his subconscious dependence and admiration to the fact that he was simply worshipping a god like a believer. Therefore, he also worshipped Shiga in the same way. Moreover, since this worship was tinged with deception, he dared not think too much or have any romantic thoughts.

If Yuejia had treated him like this, he would have seen through it long ago.

Yuejia's thoughts are written all over his face. Although he is greedy, he is easy to see through.

Koshjah...

Jiang Xiyu couldn't see through him.

He was like a jade statue, devoid of emotion and desire, seemingly indifferent to everything in the world. Even his gentleness towards himself stemmed from compassion, a compassion akin to that for the weak.

He couldn't sleep that night.

He was held in Shiga's arms, too afraid to breathe or open his eyes.

He could clearly feel the embrace, and he could also feel the warmth of Shiga's hand caressing his face.

If there is no love, then why hug him, and why act with the kind of intimate gestures and tenderness that only lovers would make?

No one could know the turmoil raging within Jiang Xiyu's heart.

That night, he realized clearly that he had committed a sin.

He touched Shiga's heart.

Besides surprise, he also felt a pang of sadness.

Now that I think about it, what was he sad about?

It's simply that he also has feelings...

He knew, however, that there was no possibility between him and Shiga.

At this moment, Shiga asked him to become his disciple and to convert to Buddhism.

He relieved him of all his worries and asked him to convert.

However, what welled up in Jiang Xiyu's heart was also an unconscious sadness.

For him, Shiga, after regaining his magical powers, was no longer the gentle mage he once was.

He is blessed with a golden statue, but his heart is cold and intolerant of worldly love and affection.

Now, with those emotionless eyes, he tries to persuade Jiang Xiyu to let go of everything.

Jiang Xiyu couldn't sense his heart; he could only feel that Shiga was advising him to see through evil thoughts, just like advising a mortal who was blinded by love to let go of his obsession.

Because he let go...

Therefore, he also needs to let go.

Jiang Xiyu gradually lowered his head. He could clearly feel his heart sinking as well, as if it would never reach the bottom.

In his silence and hesitation, the atmosphere quietly dropped to freezing point. Perhaps even the clouds in the night sky couldn't wait any longer; they drifted and briefly obscured the moonlight.

His silvery glow dimmed, and a fleeting sadness seemed to creep into Shiga's eyes as well.

He asked, "You don't want to?"

Shiga stared intently at him, his tone seemingly devoid of emotion, yet also as if he were desperately suppressing something.

Under the golden shackles, a frozen part of my heart is rapidly cracking, only to return to calm, a calmness so profound it borders on despair.

He doesn't want to.

He was unwilling.

Just like the first time, when he said he would help him become a Buddha, he still refused.

They didn't want to stay.

She didn't want to stay by his side.

why?

Why are you unwilling?

Because you're worried you're a demon?

But regardless of the approach, it has always only targeted the weak.

Even if it's a different path, he can guide him onto the right one.

But what is the reason for that?

Because of the demon race?

But he had already made a promise that he would protect the demon race.

If none of these reasons apply, then what is it?

Is it malice?

Because of his evil intentions...

His so-called wife?

Therefore, even knowing that their brief marital relationship was nothing but a mirage, she was still unwilling to give it up, unwilling to convert to Buddhism, and unwilling to convert to…him.

The next moment, it sounded like the rubbing of prayer beads, producing a piercing sound.

Even though the sound was faint and fleeting, it sounded like thunder in the quiet night, disturbing the mind.

Jiang Xiyu snapped back to reality, feeling the aura enveloping her suddenly cool down, and her whole body stiffened uncontrollably.

Those auras were pervasive, icy and chilling, seemingly trying to pry open his jaw, causing his jaw to tremble uncontrollably.

Jiang Xiyu opened her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then forced a smile at Shijia.

That smile wasn't exactly beautiful, but it was Jiang Xiyu's most tender expression.

He tried to breathe calmly and make his voice sound as peaceful as possible.

He explained to Shiga, "Master... I, I am just an ordinary person..."

Shiga remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Jiang Xiyu hesitated for a moment, his breathing becoming so calm that his voice became hoarse, and he said, "Master, I know you are saying this for my own good."

“But I have too many distracting thoughts. I’m afraid I can’t truly take refuge. I’m afraid I’ll let the Dharma Master down.”

As Jiang Xiyu spoke, she tried to make her tone sound more natural.

"Moreover, I have broken too many of the Buddhist precepts and rules."

"I can't rid myself of any of the three thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, let alone talk about the emptiness of the four elements..."

"Don't end up tarnishing the monk's reputation and disgracing the sacred name of Buddhism by becoming his disciple."

"If this sacred place is truly disturbed, even if I die ten thousand times, I will not be able to wash away my sins..."

Jiang Xiyu jokingly mentioned his shortcomings, but his eyes betrayed his guilt, and he dared not look at Shijia again for a moment.

Shiga could see his evasiveness and his reluctance.

After listening, he stared at Jiang Xiyu quietly for a long time, then suddenly his lips curled into a smile.

He had never smiled like that before, and it was unclear whether that cold, indifferent curve was a smile or something else.
