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

Chapter 385 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [61]

The scenes in the illusion changed several times, but in reality, only half an incense stick's time had passed.

When both of them woke up, the shackles on the pigeon demon gradually faded away.

She stood up, as if she had learned something extraordinary. Her gaze darted back and forth between Jiang Xiyu and Shijia. After a long while, she gave Jiang Xiyu a charming smile and said, "So that's how it is. I never imagined that the illusion created by your greed would be like this..."

As the originator of the illusion created by inducing greed, the pigeon demon is naturally able to see and enter people's illusions.

After the monk entered the illusion, the dove demon followed him in. What appeared in the illusion was the scene of the two getting married. The dove demon not only saw them bowing to each other, but she also saw the slightly intimate contact between the two after they entered the bridal chamber.

At first, the pigeon demon didn't think there was anything special about this illusion. After all, the wedding night was indeed one of the greatest joys in life. It wasn't until she lifted the veil and saw the 'bride's' face that she realized something was wrong.

The pigeon demon was both shocked and surprised. He never expected that Jiang Xiyu's greed would be related to this sorcerer.

The scene in the illusion was tantamount to Jiang Xiyu admitting that he had developed romantic feelings for a Buddhist monk.

In particular, the person he admired was also in his fantasy.

I wonder what this monk would think after learning that the demon following him harbored such ill intentions towards him.

The pigeon demon, as if watching a good show, casually stirred up trouble: "In an illusion, only what a person desires most, or the person they desire most, will be revealed..."

She raised her hand to cover her mouth as if somewhat embarrassed, then looked at Jiang Xiyu with eyes full of mockery, "The person you saw in the illusion was this mage. Could it be that he is the one you desire most?"

"Such wishful thinking, actually wanting to marry a monk... Haha."

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Xiyu's eyes, and his hand hanging at his side suddenly clenched into a fist. But after hearing the explanation, his subconscious reaction was to look at Shiga, open his mouth, and was about to explain.

A cold gaze suddenly fell upon him. Although the gaze was light, it seemed to contain an unprecedented severity, just like its master, exuding an overwhelming aura that made it hard for him to breathe.

Jiang Xiyu's eyelashes trembled, and her gaze immediately lowered as if she had done something wrong, not daring to look at Shijia again.

In that instant, Jiang Xiyu considered a million possible reactions from Shiga.

They might be angry, or feel offended...

But that gaze remained fixed on him.

Gradually, Jiang Xiyu's forehead began to sweat from being stared at. He deliberately suppressed his breathing and avoided Shiga's gaze.

Shiga stared at Jiang Xiyu for a long time, something seemed to flash across his eyes, but it was gone in an instant.

Sensing Jiang Xiyu's unease, Shijia suppressed his imposing aura. After a moment, he slightly averted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "It's all just a dream, a bubble, not to be taken seriously..."

It doesn't matter who the people in the illusion are.

Therefore, there's no need to worry about it.

Even back in the demon realm, he knew that Jiang Xiyu had something on her mind.

In this world, everyone has attachments. As long as one has the seven emotions and six desires, it is inevitable to develop 'attachment to self'.

Shiga wanted to help Jiang Xiyu escape the sea of ​​suffering in the mortal world and attain enlightenment and Buddhahood. He felt that all those troublesome things should stay away from him, and that the cat should be carefree. Just like one afternoon, Shiga put down his scriptures and looked up to see him lying on the Bodhi tree, fast asleep with his eyes closed.

The sunlight filtering through the swaying trees fell on him, and the spring breeze gently swayed his small body, which swayed with the branches, feeling utterly content and peaceful.

At that moment, the transcendent chanting of Buddhist hymns from the temple truly resonated with the gentleness of this world.

Although the cat later rejected him and did not want to become a Buddha, he had a deep connection with Buddhism. Shiga believed that one day he would let go of these attachments and devote himself to Buddhist practice.

Now, his path of cultivation is still long, so Shiga will not criticize him for it.

When conditions come together, things arise; when conditions disperse, things perish.

Everything in the illusion will eventually dissipate on its own.

Shiga rubbed the prayer beads in his palm with his fingertips.

The tone of voice above his head was flat, seemingly unchanged.

As Jiang Xiyu listened, she looked up and stared at Shijia for a while. Seeing that he remained expressionless after saying "Don't take it seriously," Jiang Xiyu finally loosened her clenched hand.

He actually had doubts in his heart. At first, when he entered the illusion, he was very sure that the person he saw was Yuejia, and he was clear-headed at that time. It was only when he got married that Jiang Xiyu gradually felt lost.

Later, while on the couch, Jiang Xiyu met Shiga's gaze and was once again bewitched by the rose color in his eyes. It wasn't until he tried to get close to him that he smelled Shiga's scent, and at that moment, Jiang Xiyu was completely brought back to his senses.

He knew he might have given himself away.

She was still thinking about how to explain things to Shiga after she woke up, but it seemed that Shiga didn't take anything from the illusion to heart.

That's right, he has attained the emptiness of the five aggregates, so the pigeon demon's words naturally couldn't sway him.

He's just worrying unnecessarily.

Since the parties involved don't care, Jiang Xiyu doesn't need to explain.

He slowly looked away, sighing inwardly.

The pigeon demon had been observing them, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

It's all just a fleeting dream, not to be taken seriously...

Did you really not take it seriously?

The monk was unaware that his expressionless, downcast gaze resembled the despondency of a human being.

Before the pigeon demon could say anything more, Jiang Xiyu coldly raised his eyes and gave her a warning look.

From an angle unseen by Shiga, that cold and imposing gaze sent a chill down the spine of the pigeon demon.

She unconsciously took two steps back, feeling extremely frightened.

What happened? Just now, under the cat demon's gaze, he felt as if he couldn't breathe.

Jiang Xiyu didn't want to linger even for a second.

He composed himself, realizing he should get down to business, and turned to Shiga, asking softly, "Master, this pigeon demon has committed such a grave sin of killing, how should we deal with it?"

Shiga was silent for a moment, but before he could speak, the dove demon hurriedly retorted, "I beg the Venerable Master to judge! When have I ever committed any murder? Since coming to Qicheng, I have never killed a single person. I have only helped them fulfill their wishes. What wrong have I done, Venerable Master..."

She covered her face with her hands, her eyes tender and on the verge of tears.

Shiga calmly said, "Although you did not kill him with your own hands, he died because of the illusion you created."

The pigeon demon explained, "It's not that I harmed them; it's that they were so engrossed in their own desires that they refused to wake up. Could it be that the mage is blaming me for doing good deeds that turned out badly?"

Such sophistry.

Jiang Xiyu coldly said, "If you hadn't come here to cause trouble, how could they have been trapped in the illusion, turning into living dead, and ultimately just waiting to die, becoming rotting skeletons?"

The pigeon demon knelt down, suppressing her fear of him, and said, "I really only wanted to help them, I didn't have any intention of harming them."

As she spoke, seeing that Jiang Xiyu remained unmoved, she knelt forward two steps, prostrated herself before Shijia, and clasped her hands together, saying, "Master, please forgive me this time. I truly did not mean it."

Shiga remained silent.

The pigeon demon then pressed its advantage, trying to reach for his cassock.

As she reached out her hand, she looked up, her emerald eyes gleaming slightly, as if she had just used the same trick to lure Jiang Xiyu into the illusion.

Jiang Xiyu frowned and stepped forward to block Shijia's path.

The dove demon's emerald eyes looked at Jiang Xiyu. Just as her hand was about to touch the hem of his clothes, Shiga frowned slightly, reached out and placed her hand on Jiang Xiyu's wrist, pulling him away.
