Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 253

Two defected demon envoys had warmly insisted.

Even though Su Ci declined multiple times, she was still dragged—against her will—to Qi Linchen’s private treasury.

A completely empty treasury.

Mufeng smacked his forehead, suddenly remembering,
“Oh no, my bad, little fairy! I totally forgot. Lord Linchen cleared out his entire treasury last month to pick out gifts for his sweetheart. In the end, he gave everything away.”

Mubai quickly followed up,
“No problem, though! You can just pick from the stuff on the shelves outside.”

“Just don’t take anything off his desk. That’s too obvious—he’ll notice. And our lord holds grudges and has a ruthless streak. He definitely won’t let you off easy…”

The two brothers chimed in one after the other, already forgetting how they’d just been mocking righteous cultivators earlier. Now, enchanted by the aura of a pure-spirited immortal maiden, they couldn’t help but feel she was a world apart from them filthy demon types—

To be admired from afar, never defiled.

As Qi Linchen’s personal attendants, they handled the daily upkeep of his sleeping quarters. Naturally, they were familiar with where everything was placed.

In a blink, Mufeng came back with a larger and shinier crystal orb, offering it to Su Ci like a treasure.

“Little fairy, use this one!”

Facing these two clueless but sincere demon goofs, Su Ci could only smile helplessly. Still worried about Qi Linchen, she didn’t bother to explain too much and simply took the orb with a nod.

“Thanks. You two go ahead with your work. I’ll stay here for a bit.”

The fairy said thank you?!

The two brothers blushed instantly, hearts pounding.

To them, Su Ci was the very picture of kindness—choosing the most useless item from a sea of spiritual treasures, and even showing concern for two low-level flunkies like them.

Though they reluctantly went back to cleaning, all their attention was still focused on Su Ci.

Their lord could return at any moment—they had to keep watch for the fairy!

Wouldn’t want her ending up like that last reckless thief who got her head popped like a melon…

—

As Su Ci channeled her pure spiritual energy into the orb, light shimmered through the crystal, projecting a vivid image of battle.

It wasn’t just visually clear—the surround sound was fully immersive, making her feel as if she were right there on the battlefield.

The so-called righteous sects clearly had no honor. Qi Linchen was fighting alone against many—his enemies included Qingxu, Xuanxiao, the head of Medicine King Valley, the abbot of Brahma Temple, the Hehuan Sect leader…

Su Ci frowned slightly, her heart tightening in worry.

In the whirlwind of the chaotic battlefield—

Qi Linchen suddenly looked distracted, glancing off toward some direction, and Qingxu seized the chance—his sword slashed straight across Qi Linchen’s arm.

From Su Ci’s point of view, she’d just seen him glance back with a smile. His face was already covered in injuries.

Yet somehow, he still had the gall to lift a hand, brush back his messy hair, and act like everything was under control.

Then—slash!—Qingxu’s sword landed, and dark red demonic energy poured from the gash.

Qi Linchen casually ripped off the tattered sleeve and vanished into the fray once more.

But even he couldn’t hold out long against so many powerful foes. Soon, he was overwhelmed, forced into a disadvantage.

Mufeng and Mubai had noticed the commotion too and rushed over to watch, cracking open sunflower seeds while casually chatting with Su Ci.

“Ohhh, so you know our Lord? And here I thought you came for a little light thievery. Sorry for the misunderstanding, little fairy.”

“Crunch crunch—”

Su Ci’s palms were slick with sweat. She stared at the projection, eyes unblinking.

“You’re that tense? Don’t tell me you also have a crush on our Lord?” Mufeng teased.
“I mean yeah, he is handsome and all… but he’s a big, scary Demon Lord! He’s not worthy of someone like you—immortals and demons just don’t mix!”

“Exactly!” Mubai agreed.
“Our Lord has a horrible temper! If he finds out you snuck into his private quarters, he’ll probably skin you alive and string you up at the palace gates!”

“Crunch crunch—”

There was once a self-proclaimed gorgeous demoness (though nowhere near as pretty as this immortal) whom they’d considered a real knockout.

But because she snuck into Qi Linchen’s bed, she ended up with all four limbs cut off, tied like a flower bundle, and tossed into the dungeon to rot. She didn’t last more than a few months.

Even their right protector, bold enough to call herself his adoptive sister, once made a flirtatious remark and got exiled to the Frozen Wastes of the Far North. She only just returned—after sleeping with ten new demon lovers.

Er… let’s not get into the filthy details.

Su Ci calmly explained, “No need to worry. He’s the one who put me here.”

The brothers screeched in unison:

“No way?!”

Their Demon Lord was famously pure-hearted and indifferent to women.

If it weren’t for Lady Ruizhu’s sake, the flirtatious Right Protector would’ve been long dead.

After all, Lady Ruizhu was Qi Linchen’s biological aunt, and Right Protector Ye Yunhe was her adopted daughter.

Could it be that Qi Linchen’s recent tribulation cracked open his dormant romantic instincts?

The brothers stared at Su Ci for a long moment. On second thought, maybe it was possible—she was a literal fairy descended from the ninth heaven, after all.

“Want some sunflower seeds, little fairy?”

Su Ci didn’t understand how they still had the appetite to snack when Qi Linchen was so badly hurt. Shouldn’t they be rallying support?

Seeing that she wasn’t eating, Mubai suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He turned into a puff of smoke and vanished—only to return a few minutes later with a food box in hand.

“You must not like seeds, right? I brought melon slices and pastries! These are specialties of our Demon Realm!”

Mufeng looked suspicious.
“Where’d you get those?”

He had never heard of melons and pastries being Demon Realm specialties. Weren’t their exports mostly sexy demons in scanty clothes?

Mubai blinked innocently.
“Right Protector’s palace, duh! You know all her man-servants are great in the kitchen. That melon they grew? Delicious.”

“…,” said Mufeng.
“…,” said Su Ci.

But Mubai wasn’t done.
“Come on, try a bite! Right Protector loves beautiful women—she won’t mind. She’s got so many desserts she can’t finish them all. We’re just helping her lighten the load!”

CRACK—CRACK—!
A sudden burst of whip-cracks exploded outside, sharp enough to set anyone’s teeth on edge. Even the stone floor outside the palace had been skinned by the lashes.

“Mufeng! Mubai! Get out here—NOW!”

A furious woman’s voice rang out, dripping with righteous wrath.

Mubai, chewing his melon, mumbled, “Why don’t you come in here, Right Protector?”

Please. He was tired of breaking up her man-harem’s brawls every day. What’s wrong with eating a little melon? Demons shouldn’t be so stingy!

Mufeng said nothing.

They might have bought themselves a few minutes, but they couldn’t stay hidden in the Lord’s private quarters forever. Sooner or later, the Right Protector would drag them out.

Just as he braced himself for the showdown, a graceful figure rushed past.

Before he could react, a flash of crimson skirt disappeared through the palace doors.

Oh no. The little fairy ran out!

Their world darkened.

The Right Protector had long coveted their Lord.

Why not say she admired him?

Because the Right Protector only wanted to sleep with beautiful demons. She didn’t even bother remembering names. The two of them had nearly been tricked into her bed once, just because they looked decent.

The unattainable always stirs the boldest desire.

If she saw another woman coming out of Lord Linchen’s bedroom—

And worse, if the Lord wasn’t even home—

Who knows what kind of hell would break loose?

Please, little fairy… don’t step outside!
