Chapter 122

“If he continues to ignore me in the future, what should I do?” Xi Ning pinched his fingertips and looked flustered. “If he goes directly back to the Devil Realm, I have to find him……”

The system hurriedly advised Xi Ning, “Master, do you want to abandon your mission? Tian Wu Zhu is still with Huo Xiu……”

“Yes, I don’t want to do my mission anymore.” Xi Ning interrupted the system in a low voice, “Just punish me if you want. After his wife is pregnant, I will find a way to kill him.”

“Master, you can’t treat your mission with such a negative attitude!” The system got even more anxious when he said that, and didn’t know how to comfort him. “This matter is not the master’s fault……”

Xi Ning shook his head. “No, it’s my fault.”

He was too self-righteous, thinking that Si TuZhao would compromise with him. But Si TuZhao really didn’t give him a chance to explain even after a few days had passed.

“Why doesn’t…..master try to pretend to be sick?” The system thought of a way for him. “Si TuZhao obviously still cares about you, otherwise he won’t find a low-level devil to solve the matter, although this matter is also related to him…… But I think if you are sick, he will definitely be tempted to visit you.”

Xi Ning thought it made sense, but how could he get sick. “But I have a spiritual power…… Will people in the Immortal Palace get sick too? What kind of sickness is better to pretend?”

It can’t be a cold or something. Xi Ning didn’t know much about this, so the system checked for him and said, “Well……master, you can use the growth of your dragon horns as excuses and pretend that it hurts?

During their conversation, Xi Ning had already returned to the bedroom, and Uncle Rong stepped forward to greet him. “Your Royal Highness, is everything okay?”

He was worried that the Immortal Emperor had found out about Chu Yi and questioned Xi Ning about it, but Xi Ning looked fine. Xi Ning just looked really spaced-out while nodding his head and walking forward.

A moment later, Xi Ning turned around again and whispered to Uncle Rong, “You go to spread the news, just say that ……because my dragon’s horns are still growing, it hurts to death, to the point that I’m almost dying.”

Uncle Rong was stunned and said, “Almost…… dying?”

“Yeah.” Xi Ning looked serious and confirmed again, “Just say that.”

–

In order to better pretend he had a serious illness, Xi Ning had been in the bedroom for the past two days and had not been out of his palace. He really looked sick.

He didn’t apply the ointment on his dragon horns anymore, but put it on the small table beside the couch, so his dragon horns really started to hurt.

“Will this method really work?” Xi Ning was a little suspicious. He put the back of his hand on his forehead. “I feel so uncomfortable.”

It’s not only physically uncomfortable, but also psychologically. This was the first time in two worlds he had trouble with Si TuZhao and had been in a cold war for so long.

Xi Ning felt that he was used to being spoiled by Si TuZhao. He reflected on it and felt that he was not good enough to Si TuZhao.

Now that he even caused this misunderstanding, he turned over on his bed, feeling more depressed.

The system murmured in its own mind, it could only analyze and predict based on past data, but could not directly feel emotions.

Could it be that it guessed wrong? Moreover, although Si TuZhao and Song Zhou were the same person, he had been implanted with character background information in each world, so his corresponding personality would also be different.

The sky outside quickly dimmed. Xi Ning opened his eyes and looked out the window for a long time, slowly getting up and preparing to rest.

He took off his robe and threw it aside, and he sat on the bed and stared blankly at the air.

Not long after, Uncle Rong knocked on the door outside. “Your Royal Highness, please rest early.”

Uncle Rong has been very concerned about his condition recently. He doesn’t know why Xi Ning wanted to pretend to be sick, but he was afraid that he was really sick.

Xi Ning replied, “Alright.”

Uncle Rong and Butler Lin were a bit alike. At least during this time Xi Ning did not feel too lonely.

Xi Ning got up and wanted to have a drink. He walked barefoot to the table without shoes and poured a glass of water.

Xi Ning squeezed the glass after drinking the water. A thought suddenly came to his mind.

“Was Si TuZhao looking at me from outside right now?” The glass in his hand slipped little by little. Xi Ning decided to take a gamble. “If I faint, will he come in?”

If he couldn’t wait for him to come, then he would just get up on his own. Xi Ning let his hand go, closed his eyes, and fell to the ground.

The glass fell to the ground and shattered. Uncle Rong had already walked far away and couldn’t hear the sound in the room. Xi Ning lay on the ground and waited for a long time but no one came over. He suddenly felt so stupid.

He felt even more depressed. Just as he was about to open his eyes and get up, a faint wind blew behind him, and someone gently picked him up from the ground.

Xi Ning was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and hugged the person’s neck tightly.

Si TuZhao knew that he was pretending, but he was still willing to fall into his trap, and said coldly, “Let go.”

Xi Ning hugged him tighter when he heard his words, and replied with a trembling voice, “I won’t.”
