"Then finish eating and rest early." Qing Ji's expression suddenly became gentle, quickly showing a tender smile again.

At this moment, An Zhen's inner voice sounded: "She is becoming scarier."

"I should find a chance to escape!"

You useless guy!

Do you just think of running away when faced with this situation? Can't you think of any other solution besides escaping?

There's no use scolding him now.

Because Su Ziyu knew this was merely An Zhen's remaining consciousness, reflecting his most genuine thoughts from back then.

The sky quickly darkened.

Su Ziyu noticed that Qing Ji always found excuses to stay near An Zhen, even kneeling beside him while he ate to serve, behaving extremely gentle and endearing, embodying the perfect Fusang-style wife in this sense. Her every glance was so intense, filled with a passionate love and possessiveness, barely hiding her thoughts.

Yet, An Zhen's body would unconsciously avoid her, quietly distancing whenever Qing Ji approached.

Then.

Su Ziyu felt the air seemed to chill a bit, Qing Ji's expression gradually turned unpleasant, and her tone became increasingly less gentle than it initially was.

In the room.

Just as Su Ziyu regained control of his body, the door was suddenly pushed open, and in walked Qing Ji.

"Don't you want to marry me?"

"Then why did you agree to me back then?" The beautiful girl knelt before Su Ziyu, her pupils unknowingly transforming into vertical slits, emitting an eerie light.

What's happening?

Why is Qing Ji turning into a demon at this moment?

"No." Su Ziyu seized control and quickly reassured, "I am just tired. Tomorrow, I will talk to your father..."

Su Ziyu intended to mention the matter of returning to secular life to marry her.

But unexpectedly, the words choked back, An Zhen's remaining consciousness strongly resisted, forcefully swallowing the rest of the sentence.

You lousy teammate!

Why are you causing trouble at such a time?

"You are indeed lying to me!" Threads of dark red flames appeared before him, Qing Ji's expression gradually turned cold, those vertical pupils seemed to emit light.

She slowly approached, gently stroked Su Ziyu's cheek, the tender smile resurfacing, "No worries."

"I will make you stay by my side forever."

A scorching pain surged through.

Su Ziyu felt like he was set ablaze, opening his mouth trying to scream but uttering nothing, looking down, his hands and feet were already charred, and the dark red flames spread across his body, quickly turning him into a cinder. After An Zhen's body burned to ashes, the dark red flame didn't extinguish, Qing Ji's body gradually ignited, eventually revealing a giant snake tail, reappearing from the spreading fire sea as a demon form.

She unleashed a terrifying fire, turning everything around into a sea of flames.

.........

"An Zhen, An Zhen!"

"Wake up."

"Why did you fall asleep after sitting for just a while?" Came an elderly voice.

Su Ziyu slowly opened his eyes.

"Ah!..." He let out a painful groan first, then turned to look around, muttering, "Is this dream realm repeating?"

It truly hurts!

The stinging pain was something Su Ziyu had never felt before, like piercing the heart, not just the physical pain, the flame seemed to induce mental agony, a torturous, unattainable type of pain.

He was back to the beginning place of the dream realm.

Counting time, if the external time was the same as here, it should be nearing dawn, Su Ziyu should have awakened already.

Yet now there was no sign of waking, the horrifying pain couldn't rouse him, his consciousness remained trapped in this real dream realm.

This situation was unprecedented to him, Su Ziyu couldn't think of any escape solution.

This ability was too bizarre.

"An Zhen! We should go now. It's about to rain." The old monk's voice came through.

Due to the last experience, Su Ziyu didn't hesitate this time, standing up directly, realizing after dying once, he seemed more adept at controlling the body.

No!

Should say An Zhen's residual consciousness weakened, that's why Su Ziyu could more easily control the body.

Silence along the way.

Surely, arriving at a manor gate, Su Ziyu again saw the familiar beautiful girl, precisely Qing Ji who burned him to death not long ago.

"You finally arrived." A remarkably gentle female voice sounded.

Qing Ji quickly approached Su Ziyu, her expression joyful, "An Zhen? Hungry?"

"I prepared some food for you."

Su Ziyu's expression was rather complex at this moment, partly hating the girl because the burn truly hurt, yet unable to defeat her now, partly sympathizing with her as the pain from the fire told him Qing Ji's love was genuinely extreme, a dangerously obsessive and distorted affection, with a terrifying possessiveness.

"What's wrong?" Qing Ji came over worriedly, reaching to grip Su Ziyu's hand, softly saying, "You look terrible."

Originally, the residual consciousness of the body should have avoided her.

But this time, Su Ziyu's control over the body strengthened, he didn't deliberately evade, allowing Qing Ji's hands to hold him, clearly showing a trace of delight on the girl's face.

Must pacify her.

This dream realm differs from the story, he hasn't started escaping yet Qing Ji is already near becoming a demon.

Steady.

Must steady things now.

Su Ziyu didn't want to attempt being burned alive again; the pain was truly heart-wrenching!

"I'm simply a bit tired," Su Ziyu slowly said.

Stabilize the situation first, then see how to break through, Qing Ji already possesses demon mana now, even slight provocation might make her rage.

"Seiji Su." The old monk's voice resounded.

As same as the original scene.

Qing Ji was still incredibly gentle and virtuous, kneeling beside serving Su Ziyu food, wholly resembling the perfect wife.

At this moment, Su Ziyu's attention wasn't solely on Qing Ji; he noticed Qing Ji's father, Seiji Su, and the old monk were not surprised, instead behaved casually, seemingly not the first time witnessing such scenes.

Do they know about the two's affair?

Seeing the old monk's expression, he didn't seem opposed. Could it be he supports An Zhen returning to secular life for marriage?

During this period, Fusang monks weren't allowed to drink, eat meat, or marry, An Zhen was still eating vegetarian, implying under this view, An Zhen opposed returning to secular life for marriage, inwardly genuinely intending to be a good monk, even when facing Qing Ji's beauty.

Time slowly passed.

After eating vegetarian meals, Seiji Su and the old monk went to discuss Buddhist teachings.

And Su Ziyu nervously sat inside the room, waiting for Qing Ji to push the door and enter; last time he was burnt to death here, so now he was truly nervous.

Squeak.

The door was lightly opened, followed by Qing Ji entering with tea sets, kneeling before Su Ziyu; warmly smiling: "An Zhen. This is top-grade chrysanthemum tea; let me brew a cup for you."

Seems it passed.

Su Ziyu came over this time fully controlling the body, avoiding any repelled reaction from Qing Ji.

Surely, Qing Ji didn't force the issue of breaking the engagement again, and her expression was exceptionally gentle, as long as she didn't perceive An Zhen's regret, she wouldn't further darken.
