After Transmigrating, I and the Female Lead Both Found It 'Really Fragrant' (GL) - Chapter 45
Liu Shuang coughed lightly, “Yeah, so? Is there a problem?”
Si Tuyun said, “To be frank, if this were someone from our Demon Realm, we would have probably carried her home in a grand sedan and had a bunch of children by now.”
Imagining Shen Qiqi taking care of children, Liu Shuang felt a little uncomfortable and frowned slightly, “…I don’t know if she likes me.”
Si Tuyun was puzzled, “That doesn’t make sense. If she didn’t like you, why would she do those things with you?”
Liu Shuang’s heart moved, and she said softly, “You have a point.” She added, “She never resisted before, and she seemed to like looking at… my face.”
Si Tuyun picked up a handful of melon seeds from the table in front of him and nodded in realization, “So she’s fallen for your face!”
Liu Shuang rubbed her forehead and sighed, “…Is that all?”
Si Tuyun, with a mind full of Demon Realm thinking, said bluntly, “Maybe she’s also lusting after your body… Why don’t you just ask her directly?”
Liu Shuang rubbed her temples and sighed, “That’s not appropriate. She and I are fellow disciples. If I’m rejected, it will be awkward to see each other in the future, and it will be difficult to get along.”
Si Tuyun was eating melon seeds and said impatiently, “This is not good and that is not good! Why do you righteous cultivators have so much to say and so many troubles? Why don’t you just kidnap her and lock her up?”
Liu Shuang: “……..”

The black eagle guarded Shen Qiqi, its eagle eyes watching vigilantly. Liu Nian and Zhu Jun dared not act rashly and could only carefully walk over and help Yue Huai up from the ground.
Yue Huai lowered her head, her hair was disheveled, and her white dress was covered in dust, looking both vulnerable and fragile. Her pretty face was pitiful, arousing a strong desire to protect her. Seeing this, Zhu Jun felt very distressed and comforted her, “Junior Sister Yue, are you injured?”
Yue Huai looked up at him sadly, “Senior brothers, there’s no need to argue anymore.”
Zhu Jun held her shoulders and said angrily, “Shen Qiqi, relying on her special status, is truly lawless. When we go out, I will definitely ask the sect master for justice!”
Hearing that, the black eagle spread its wings with a whoosh and let out a sharp cry. The oppressive feeling was like a tsunami, and the latter turned pale and took a step back, covering his ears.
“F-forbidden to fight privately within the Nightmare Realm!” he stammered, “Don’t mess around!”
Shen Qiqi didn’t bother with them, patted the giant eagle’s head, and said softly, “You’ve worked hard, let’s go.”
She picked up her bag and turned to leave. Zhao Ke immediately caught up with her, worried, “Junior Sister, where are you going?”
The black shadow retracted its wings and stood quietly on her shoulder. Shen Qiqi did not stop, and calmly replied, “I’m going to find my Senior Sister.”
Zhao Ke was stunned, “You, are you going to find Junior Sister Liu alone? Can you find her?”
Shen Qiqi murmured, “…I might know where she is.”
Si Tuyun had appeared too early, and the plot should have jumped forward a big step, skipping the heavenly-ranked monster and going straight to the awakening of the bloodline.
According to the original plot development, after Si Tuyun took Liu Shuang away, he didn’t immediately kill her. First, he thought this woman was quite interesting, so gentle and not pretentious, so he planned to have some fun with her; secondly, he was in a good mood that day and didn’t want to get his hands dirty, so he wanted to wait until he was tired of playing with her before disposing of her.
And the female lead would awaken her half-human, half-demon bloodline in his hands.
However, the way of awakening was very cruel and could be considered both physically and mentally torturous. After writing this plot, she, as the author, received a wave of knives from readers.
The plot is that Si Tuyun, with his twisted sense of amusement, imprisons Liu Shuang in a lair inhabited by a horde of demonic beasts. He tells the female lead that if she can survive, he will let her go.
These are Core Formation stage demonic beasts, extremely vicious and brutal. Even a Core Formation stage cultivator would struggle to defeat one, let alone a group.
Of course, although Liu Shuang is weak, she would never give up hope easily. Despite knowing she was outmatched, she fought and struggled desperately, covered in wounds.
However, no matter how much she resisted, her cultivation was limited. When her spiritual energy was almost depleted, Liu Shuang was at her wit’s end. Deep in the dark cave, facing a group of demonic beasts with glowing red eyes that were slowly approaching, she stood up straight and used all her remaining spiritual energy to deliver a final blow.
It was this incredible strike that caused the female lead to suddenly awaken, breaking through her stagnant Qi Condensation stage and rapidly advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. She unleashed her full potential and slaughtered the group of demonic beasts.
When she emerged from the cave, Si Tuyun was extremely surprised, almost not recognizing her. There was no reason for the female lead to be alive, yet here she was, standing in front of him, her white dress stained crimson and covered in bl00d, completely unrecognizable. Her bl00d-stained sword dragged on the ground, emitting a low, clear sound, and her cold eyes were like those of a demon crawling out of the abyss.
This was a small step towards Liu Shuang’s darkening, but it was a big step in the plot gradually taking a face-slapping turn. Although Liu Shuang didn’t plan to become a demon at this time, it was only a matter of time.
At the same time, Si Tuyun was shocked by the female lead’s astonishing willpower. He decided to imprison this woman by his side and see what kind of waves she could make. As he watched, he became fascinated by her. The female lead gave him too many surprises. When Liu Shuang insisted on leaving, Si Tuyun was reluctant to let her go.
The Si Tuyun she wrote was a narcissistic, extremely willful, beautiful madman, and the plot followed the popular “chasing wife crematorium” trope that readers love. In the early stages, he flirted with other beautiful women, but was always sarcastic, dismissive, and looked down on Liu Shuang. Later, he was gradually healed and moved by her gentle and tenacious personality, finally transforming from a playboy to a loyal and affectionate lover, supporting her in overthrowing the upper echelons of the cultivation world, ruling the Demon Realm, and shattering the Heavenly Dao step by step climbing to the pinnacle of life.
Although Liu Shuang eventually focused entirely on her career and didn’t respond to his advances, Si Tuyun was still treated the best among all the male leads. In the readers’ eyes, he was the most like the hidden ‘main man’. After all, out of all the male leads, he was the only one who made it to the final round, while all the other rivals died untimely deaths.
But now, no matter how promising he is, Shen Qiqi has to forcefully break up this couple. Once Si Tuyun tortures Liu Shuang until she is covered in wounds but still loves him, and then on a whim takes her back to the Demon Realm for a prison play, she will never see her senior sister again!
Zhao Ke’s pupils constricted slightly in surprise, and he exclaimed, “You know where they are? How do you know?!”
“I…” Shen Qiqi hesitated, she couldn’t say that she was the only true prophet in the entire story, so she hooked her finger at him, signaling for him to lean closer.
Zhao Ke leaned over in confusion, and heard her whisper in his ear, “I, I made a soul bond with my Senior Sister.”
A soul bond is a secret technique similar to making a contract, and both parties must agree to it. Those who have formed a soul bond have a telepathic connection and can know each other’s location and life or death at any time, regardless of how far apart they are, as long as they have formed a soul bond, they can sense each other’s presence.
However, while this soul bond sounds very romantic, it is usually only formed between dao companions.
Zhao Ke’s expression froze, and his eyes flickered. “Oh… I see, I see!”
Shen Qiqi remained expressionless, thinking to herself: ‘…Forget it, since they’ve all misunderstood, why not let the misunderstanding become even more intense.’
She heard Zhao Ke say softly, “Then, I’ll go with you.”
Shen Qiqi’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really? Senior Brother Zhao, aren’t you going to act with those three?”
Zhao Ke smiled warmly, “It’s too dangerous for you to go alone, I can’t rest assured. Besides, I’ve thought about it carefully, even if those three are powerful, their character is the most important. As cultivators, we should be kind to others. To benefit all living beings is the fundamental principle of humanity… This is what Master has always taught us.”
Shen Qiqi leaned back tactically, as if seeing a golden Buddha, and clapped her hands in admiration, “Well said, that’s so right!”
“Senior Brother Zhao!” Seeing that Zhao Ke was also leaving, Liu Nian waved his hand anxiously and shouted, “Senior Brother Zhao, where are you going—take us with you!”
Zhao Ke turned to face them, clasped his hands together, and said indifferently, “Everyone, farewell.” With that, he followed Shen Qiqi and continued towards the brown mountain range, leaving the three of them in place, confused and angry.
As they walked, the sun above became increasingly intense. Zhao Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, “Junior Sister, are you sure this is the right direction?”
“It should be.” Shen Qiqi nodded, recalling the scene she had written. Si Tuyun had taken Liu Shuang into the brown mountain range ahead, and the demonic beast lair was on the shady side of the mountain.
She frowned and looked back, then said, “By the way, Senior Brother, from just now… have you heard any strange footsteps?”
“I heard them.” Zhao Ke nodded, “Could it be that Liu Nian and the others are following us?”
Shen Qiqi stopped and looked back, but there was nothing behind her except the wind blowing the sand on the ground, making a rustling sound.
Zhao Ke also stopped and listened carefully, “It seems that as soon as we stop, the footsteps disappear too.”
Shen Qiqi raised her toes and took another step forward. Sure enough, a dense sound of footsteps rang out again, as if many people were walking at the same time. She immediately stopped, and the sound disappeared without a trace.
“…….” She got goosebumps out of nowhere and gritted her teeth, “Could it be another demonic beast?”
Zhao Ke thought for a moment and said loudly, “I don’t know who you are, but why have you been following us without showing yourself? Why don’t you come out and meet us?”
Shen Qiqi said, “…Senior Brother, you’re too straightforward!” How could someone be so stupid as to come out just because you asked?
With a whoosh, a figure suddenly appeared from behind a dry tree!
Shen Qiqi looked closely and saw that it was Ji Zhihua, wearing a purple gauze dress and silver bells on her ankles.
Zhao Ke was surprised, “It’s you!”
Ji Zhihua smiled slightly at them, “It’s me.”
“You… aren’t you going to turn us into a living corpse again?!”
Ji Zhihua said, “Not this time—the young master asked us to follow you.”
Shen Qiqi: “…Us?”
Ji Zhihua winked at her, “And my group of precious living corpses~”
Shen Qiqi thought to herself: No wonder I heard so many footsteps!
Zhao Ke looked around, confused, “But why can’t I see the figures of those living corpses?”
“They’re all following us underground.” Ji Zhihua said lazily, she walked to their side and extended an invitation, “Since you’ve been discovered, I won’t hide anymore. Let’s go together.”
Shen Qiqi laughed and cried, “Senior Ji, why did Si Tuyun ask you to come?”
“Oh, don’t call me senior, it sounds too old.” Ji Zhihua smiled, “He said that Miss Liu specifically instructed him that there was a disobedient little fellow she still couldn’t let go of, and that she had to be carefully watched over and taken care of, without the slightest bit of negligence.”
Senior sister: I found you another protector, you should be fine now (reassured)
Thank you everyone, hehe!
