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

Before the lingering glow of dawn had faded, the sunlight shone with a golden brilliance. Inside the palace, the beaded curtains and jade screens shimmered with light, and the faint fragrance of roses lingered in the air.

Upon hearing that the Demon Emperor had returned to the palace seemingly injured, Xiu Jie immediately came to the Demon Emperor's Palace after receiving the news.

At that time, Jiang Xiyu was meditating in the main hall. Footsteps approached from afar. As if sensing the gaze of the other party, Jiang Xiyu suppressed his inner energy and looked up.

Xiu Jie looked at him from afar and saw that although his face was pale, his aura was not diminished. He did not seem to be seriously injured, but rather like an ordinary person who was sick.

"How come you've changed so much in such a short time?" Xiu Jie asked, frowning.

Jiang Xiyu didn't speak, but simply raised his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.

After Xiu Jie sat down, he asked again, "I heard you're ill?"

He paused, somewhat surprised: "You can get sick?"

Logically speaking, powerful demons like them should be immune to all poisons and diseases, especially a tiger like him.

But then he thought about it again. Although he and the Demon Emperor were of the same class, their sizes were worlds apart. Besides, the Demon Emperor was just a little kitten. Perhaps it was understandable that he was sick.

Jiang Xiyu understood the sarcasm in his words, but didn't bother to take it to heart, simply saying that she was fine.

Xiu Jie stared at him for a while, noticing the sorrow in his eyes, and then said casually, "You look like you have a heart ailment."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Jiang Xiyu frowned and said, "It's nothing."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Xiu Jie didn't press him further. Instead, he casually asked, "So, how long do you plan to stay in the Demon Realm this time?"

To be honest, he really didn't support Jiang Xiyu's move towards Buddhism.

After all, they are demons, and the pure lands of Buddhism are places they would avoid at all costs.

Jiang Xiyu was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not going..."

"What?" Xiu Jie thought he had misheard.

Jiang Xiyu glanced at him, then suddenly looked outside the hall, seemingly unsure where to look next.

He paused for a moment, then calmly repeated, "I will never go to Cibei Temple again."

Xiu Jie was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly stop going? Did that high master stop you from going?"

Jiang Xiyu shook her head slightly: "No."

He didn't bother to explain further after saying those two words.

Seeing that he looked preoccupied, Xiu Jie let the matter drop.

"If you don't want to go, then you don't have to. I just happened to come to see you today for something else."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu looked at Xiu Jie again and, seeing his unusually serious expression, asked, "What is it?"

Xiu Jie recalled those events, his gaze darkening as he said, "The demon realm has been somewhat unsettled lately..."

Before Jiang Xiyu took control of the demon realm, it was ruled by a vicious and ruthless demon. The demon was named Guiche, who was transformed from a nine-headed, three-bodied bird. He was naturally tyrannical and cruel. After taking control of the demon realm, he repeatedly instigated conflicts between the demon race and the human race, attempting to annex the human world.

At that time, the human race was weak and powerless to resist, which is why the Grand Mage descended to the mortal realm later.

Logically speaking, that evil demon should have been eliminated a hundred years ago and should not have left any trace.

But from some unknown time, traces of ghost fire gradually appeared in the ten domains of the demon realm, and many demons even had their demon cores burned away inexplicably. For a time, the demons were filled with panic.

When Xiu Jie found out, he personally went to the scene of the incident to investigate.

Since he was also a great demon who had been cultivating since the time of the Ghost Chariot's rule, he immediately thought of the ghost fire after examining it.

Since the will-o'-the-wisp is the magic power of the Ghost Chariot, and the Ghost Chariot is accustomed to strengthening itself by burning demon cores, Xiu Jie guessed that the will-o'-the-wisp might not have disappeared.

However, over the past hundred years, his magical power has scattered, and he has been unable to reassemble his demonic form.

Now, if he dares to leave a trace openly, it's either a provocation or a curse.

Xiu Jie feared that revealing this matter would cause panic among the demons, so he had been investigating it in secret.

But as such incidents became more and more frequent in the Ten Domains, he could no longer hide them. However, Jiang Xiyu happened to have returned to the Compassion Temple at that time, so when he saw him return and heard that he seemed to be injured, he rushed to the Demon Emperor's Palace, firstly because he was worried about Jiang Xiyu's health, and secondly because he was worried that the Ghost Chariot would make a comeback.

Jiang Xiyu listened quietly, her expression unreadable.

The memory of the ghost train in this body was almost completely forgotten with the passing of the other party.

He was still somewhat dazed when he suddenly heard it, and he had to rack his brains to think about it.

Xiu Jie's expression turned solemn as he said, "This matter is of utmost importance. What do you think we should do?"

Jiang Xiyu pondered for a moment, tapping lightly with his hand.

The Buddhist prayer beads on the wrist seem to have a physical form; when they touch the skin, a subtle coolness penetrates, instantly clearing the mind.

Jiang Xiyu snapped out of her reverie, glanced down at her wrist, remained silent for a moment, and then said solemnly, "I will investigate this matter personally."

Xiu Jie said, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Xiyu glanced at him, nodded, and then instructed him to go down and pass on the order, which was roughly to not mention the matter of the will-o'-the-wisp, but only to say that an evil demon had recently appeared in the demon realm, and to order the city-guarding demons and demon soldiers of the ten domains to maintain order and security.

After Xiu Jie accepted the order and left, Jiang Xiyu turned and went into the inner hall.

At this moment, Yuejia was sitting cross-legged on the jade platform, motionless, as if meditating.

Jiang Xiyu stared at it for a moment, pondering it in his heart.

Because both major upheavals in the human race were related to Yuejia, Jiang Xiyu inevitably thought of him when Xiu Jie told him about Guiche.

He didn't want Yuejia to get involved, after all, this matter was quite thorny. Moreover, Shijia had regained his magical power, and who knew when he might come to the demon realm to take him away.

Jiang Xiyu is caught in the middle, unable to move forward or backward. Now, with the will-o'-the-wisp incident, she can't help but feel worried.

He seemed to sigh softly, and as he withdrew his gaze, the person sitting cross-legged on the jade platform suddenly opened his eyes.

Yuejia raised his eyes and slowly looked at Jiang Xiyu. He could feel Jiang Xiyu's gaze just now.

Jiang Xiyu's gaze paused for a moment, and seeing that he had opened his eyes, she asked softly, "Did I disturb you?"

“Yes,” Yuejia replied, getting up as she said, “I heard everything you said to the others in the main hall. Are you…suspecting me?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold wind swept by, and Yuejia flashed to Jiang Xiyu's side.

It must be said that such suspicious looks are truly unpleasant.

If he did this evil deed, that would be fine; but if he didn't, receiving such stares makes it seem like a pity he didn't do it.
