Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 473 What to do when your genius senior brother is determined to die? (39)

After that night, it was as if a barrier had been erected between them. Zhao Zhao rarely went to see him, and Si Yi, seeing that Zhao Zhao was avoiding him, also stopped looking for him.

Zhao Zhao hadn't seen Si Yi for a long time. Her father told her that Si Yi had gone into seclusion again, which was why the system kept urging him to complete the task.

[In the cultivation world, seclusion often lasts for several years at a time. How can you afford to waste the remaining two years of your life! If you don't kill him now, when will you have the time later!]

[Zhaozhao, you're driving me crazy!]

Holding the spirit cat in one arm and the little underworld beast in the other, Zhao Zhao lay on the chair basking in the sun and said without hesitation, "At worst, I'll just skip this side quest."

On the night Zhao Zhao confirmed that Si Yi was a demon, she had considered this possibility, and as time went by, this idea became more and more firm.

Side quest rewards will help you complete the main and side quests in the next world. Giving up easily will make me think you're stupid.

"roll."

Zhao Zhao scolded him: "You should praise me for being loyal and righteous!"

He saw how good Si Yi was to him, so he couldn't bring himself to hurt her.

His heart isn't made of stone; how could he possibly do that in this situation?

"Shut up, I know my limits."

After clarifying things with the system, the weight on Zhao Zhao's heart suddenly disappeared. He felt relaxed all over and stretched happily.

He wanted to go find Si Yi again, but he didn't know if Si Yi was still angry with him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhao took a grasshopper she had made herself and ran to find Si Yi.

If he is still angry, give him this gift as an apology.

.......

"Strange, demonic energy?"

Yongqi Palace did not set up any barriers for Zhaozhao, and he entered without hindrance. Suddenly, he discovered demonic energy in the location of Siyi's bedroom.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to go find him.

"Knock down."

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

He heard a heavy thud coming from inside. Zhao Zhao had a bad feeling and was about to run when the door suddenly opened. A pale hand reached out and grabbed his neck, dragging him inside.

The door slammed shut, and Zhao Zhao was suddenly pinned against it by the delirious Si Yi, the grasshopper in her hand falling to the ground.

"Holy crap!"

[You've been proven wrong, haven't you?]

If you don't kill him, he'll try to kill you.

Just as Zhao Zhao was about to run out of breath, Si Yi suddenly regained his senses. He looked at the person in front of him, his crimson eyes filled with shock.

As his grip loosened, Zhao Zhao's neck was released, and he slid down the door to the ground.

Si Yi, his white clothes disheveled, hurriedly knelt down and said hastily, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just a little confused and acted a bit hastily. I...I..."

A person who is usually eloquent and persuasive has now been unable to utter a single word for half a day.

"sorry."

Si Yi clumsily pulled Zhao Zhao into his arms, resting his chin on the boy's thin shoulder and patting his back reassuringly, "Don't be afraid of me..."

The two forces within his body began to stir again. Since returning from the secret realm, he had become increasingly unable to control himself, truly proving the saying, "If you don't court death, you won't die."

Zhao Zhao finally caught her breath, the body in her arms was trembling violently, and the hand stroking his back was also shaking.

He sighed, reached back and hugged Si Yi's trembling body, and whispered, "Senior brother, I don't blame you, but you can't keep going like this."

"You should get medical treatment."

Si Yi had a splitting headache. He nodded haphazardly, then suddenly stood up and threw Zhao Zhao out the door: "Don't look for me again."

The door closed as the sound faded, and Zhao Zhao stared blankly at the doorway, unable to come to her senses.

He recalled Si Yi's disheveled appearance just now and suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Although he was despicable in the past, he was at least a vibrant and spirited genius swordsman.

"Why is Si Yi a demon seed?"

"Why did it have to be him of all people, the Demon Seed?!"

Zhao Zhao was furious. The system casually replied, "Kill him, then resurrect him in a better body, and all problems will cease to be problems."

"But he trusts me so much, this is so cruel to both of us."

Zhao Zhao didn't leave. He squatted in front of Si Yi's door, listening to the crackling sounds coming from inside, and slowly buried his head in his knees.

As darkness fell, when the door was opened again, Si Yi was dressed neatly, back to her former presentable self.

He looked down at Zhao Zhao sleeping at the door and gently carried him into the bedroom.

He knew very well that Zhao Zhao's presence had lingered at the door for a whole day.

He had initially thought that the boy would avoid him like the plague, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. Sure enough, Zhao Zhao was still the same innocent and kind-hearted Zhao Zhao.

A genuine smile appeared on his pale, jade-like face. He covered Zhao Zhao with a blanket and searched for a long time before finally finding a jade pendant.

He hung the jade pendant around Zhao Zhao's neck so that if he lost his senses again, the pendant would prevent him from harming her.

The bruises on his neck were quite unsightly. Si Yi applied the medicine to him with a cold face. Even though she had been busy for so long, her heart was still relatively calm.

It was rare for Si Yi to feel so comfortable after returning from the secret realm, so she lay down on the bed and slept soundly.

Zhao Zhao had a bad sleeping posture. When she woke up the next day, both of her legs were on someone's chest. Realizing something, Zhao Zhao opened her eyes and suddenly met Si Yi's gaze.

"Junior brother, impressive sleeping skills." He smiled, his tired face seemingly showing a good mood.

Feeling guilty, Zhao Zhao put her feet down and quickly asked Si Yi about her health.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Si Yi's eyes as he said, "As long as you control the two forces within your body, there's nothing to worry about."

The inner demons and the remnants of the demon monkey's consciousness were minor issues; what bothered him was the power within his body that could erupt at any moment.

The power of the demon seed grew stronger and stronger, and each time it went out of control, it became increasingly uncontrollable. He didn't know if he would still be able to confidently tell Zhao Zhao that "he would not hurt anyone."

"Senior brother, do you want to get rid of this magic?"

Si Yi nodded, but the image of the demons who appeared when she faced her inner demons flashed through her mind.
