This data in Quick Transmigration has become sentient!

"Was it because Xi Ze didn't perform well yesterday? Why is Your Majesty suddenly so cold towards him?"

???

Young Fish, do you even realize your persona has crumbled?

Yi Yi felt so frightened that she couldn't speak for a moment, and then she looked at the pair of light blue eyes that were staring intently at her.

A familiar image suddenly flashed through my mind.

No... that can't be...

Yi Yi swallowed hard, finally finding her voice, and sternly addressed the merman before her, trying to keep it from trembling: "I will compensate you for this matter. You may leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Ze took two steps back, gently lifted his robe, and knelt down in front of Yi Yi. His blue eyes looked up at her with a watery gaze, like a little animal pleading for affection.

The sense of déjà vu is even stronger now, no, no, no, that can't be!

Yi Yi shook her head, trying to shake the other pair of blue eyes, which were equally adept at feigning weakness, out of her mind.

His thoughts were in disarray, so he didn't hear the merman below: "Can Xi Ze choose the compensation himself? Don't worry, it will definitely be something His Majesty can implement."

Yi Yi, who only hoped he could disappear from her sight as soon as possible, nodded and waved for him to leave.

Having received the promise, Xi Ze was in no hurry. He bowed and then withdrew.

Once Xi Ze had gone far away, Yi Yi realized that she had made an empty promise. She wanted to call Xi Ze back, but felt it was unnecessary.

Ultimately, since it's something she, as the Demon King, can do, it can't be something that will cause a major upheaval, right?

Anyway, he's known for being career-oriented, so at worst we can just give him the position of "Demon King"!

As for myself, as long as I focus on completing the main storyline, the rest won't fall apart.

With this "what's the point" attitude, Yi Yi decided to give up thinking about it.

However, what Yi Yi didn't know was that in dating games, such empty promises are often a huge flag!

What's more important now is—

“Cerebellum, don’t you think Xi Ze is strange?” Yi Yi asked.

"No, the data shows everything is perfectly normal," Cerebellum replied, seemingly bewildered by the question.

"Then how is that normal?" Yi Yi retorted anxiously, but then suddenly remembered the possibility in her mind, sighed and changed her words, "Forget it, you keep a close eye on the plot and make sure the main storyline is not affected, and then you can stay in the background all year round and monitor the plot with me."

"No, Xiao Yiyi, your nerves won't be able to handle that," Xiao Cerebellum said anxiously.

Yi Yi shook her head and said seriously to Xiao Nao, "I remember that Li Yunxiao's storyline doesn't stretch out for very long. I've basically been reborn at the beginning of the story now. Turn the speed up a bit and watch the story carefully with me."

After thinking it over, Cerebellum agreed and repeatedly assured that he would keep an eye on the main storyline and that it wouldn't be affected, so he started keeping it running in the background.

But Xiaoyiyi still hasn't enabled its chat permissions, *crying*.

What's the difference between this and before? Damn it!

Yi Yi, of course, had no idea about the inner monologue of the man with the active cerebellum; she was only looking at the door where Xi Ze had already disappeared.

She sighed almost imperceptibly and murmured softly, "That child...could it be Ai..."

The words seemed to vanish as soon as they were spoken, without even a response from the cerebellum.

But there wasn't much time for Yi Yi to wallow in self-pity.

Then one of the twin attendants appeared at the lower seat, but thanks to the original female lead's special ability, she immediately recognized him as her brother, Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo reported to Yi Yi, "Your Majesty, the beauty you brought back has woken up. She tried to escape and has now been apprehended. What are your plans?"

Yi Yi wanted to correct him, since Li Yunxiao wasn't someone she had kidnapped to be part of her harem, but after thinking about it, she felt there was no need to say anything more.

She stood up, brushed off imaginary dust from her clothes, and said to Xiao Mo, "Take me there."

……

Taken to a courtyard inside a palace, where the male protagonist is bound like a Japanese-style char siu, Yi Yi can't help but rub her forehead and think to herself: Is this immortal rope from the Demon Realm sold wholesale?

[Ah, no, Little Yiyi, it was the original owner who crafted two Immortal Binding Ropes and gave them to her two close attendants.]

Yi Yi suddenly realized that she had forgotten about such a thing.

After all, it's quite difficult to remember every single one of the 36 romanceable characters.

With a thought, the Immortal Binding Rope that she had previously put away appeared in her hand. Yi Yi handed it to Xiao Mo behind her and said, "I had forgotten about it. Here, take this back."

Xiao Mo clasped his hands in a salute and retrieved the Immortal Binding Rope.

Then, Yi Yi ordered Xiao Ai, who was still restless and unable to move after taking the foxtail grass, "Untie him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai released Li Yunxiao from his restraints.

In an instant, a cold glint flashed.

When the dust settled, Yi Yi was seen holding a sharp sword between two fingers, the blade resting about half an arm's length in front of her chest, and at the other end of the sword was Li Yunxiao, who had just regained his freedom.

Before he could even land a single move, Li Yunxiao coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Clearly, that sword strike that pushed him to his limits had caused significant damage to his body.

Yi Yi stood straight, not moving an inch, and looked down at Li Yunxiao who was slowly kneeling down.

His hand was still gripping the sword tightly, as if he was still trying to push the sword in, but the force was weak and barely perceptible.

With a flick of her wrist, Yi disarmed him.

Having lost his sword as a support, Li Yunxiao lay face down on the ground, still panting heavily.

"Oh dear, this beauty shouldn't waste her energy. She's already injured, and now she's making things difficult for herself by trying to escape and assassinate." Xiao Ai's words were like poisoned knives.

“Indeed, it’s the easiest way to go with our Lord, and we’ll have all the riches and honors we could ever want in the future,” Xiao Mo chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunxiao spat out another mouthful of blood. He gasped for breath and said, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! If you, Demon King, want to take me into your harem, you might as well kill me now! Otherwise, even if it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, I will kill you every time I see you!"

[Little Yiyi, we've detected that the male lead's affection level towards you has plummeted! To ensure the main storyline progresses smoothly, we recommend that you slightly increase his affection level.]

The cerebellum's voice echoed in her mind. Yi Yi looked at the battle-damaged handsome man in front of her, whose eyes were slightly red and who was glaring at her. She felt a little reluctant to speak.

A moment later, she flipped her hand and placed the sword in front of Li Yunxiao, then squatted down and looked him in the eye, saying, "I want the cultivation technique you practice."

Seeing that the male lead was about to explode again, she said, "Don't rush to reject me. In exchange, I will protect you from now on, just like my subjects."

Upon hearing this, even the young and impetuous Li Yunxiao understood that killing the Demon King in the Demon Realm was simply a pipe dream.

He thought for a moment and then agreed.

Seeing Yi Yi nod, he took a breath and said, "However, I have not mastered all the secret techniques of our sect. You need to come back to the sect with me to retrieve them."

He saw Yi Yi get up, wondering if she would agree.

Just as he was wondering what to do if she didn't agree, he heard Yi Yi say, "Then you should stay in the palace and recover from your injuries before setting off."

She then said to the twin brother next to her, "Xiao Mo, you protect him. Just get whatever he needs while he's recovering. Don't make a fuss about anything else."

He then said to his younger brother, "Xiao Ai is also an invited guest, not a concubine. Apologize to the guest."

The twins, who were saved by the Demon King, were naturally the most loyal. Even though Xiao Ai was still somewhat unconvinced, he obediently apologized after agreeing.

Seeing this, Yi Yi nodded approvingly and left with the words, "Take good care of yourself and recover well."

Just left.

Leaving behind a solitary figure, Yi Yi asked herself in her mind: [So, has his impression of me changed at all?]

"Yes, but not much," the cerebellum replied.

[It's okay, that's enough. Just stop trying to kill yourself by thinking about exploding with me. I'll have to let him have his way then.]
