A Fish

Jiang Che was truly at a loss.

He really had no idea what to do now. He never expected that Ji Qingyi would be so determined to die.

Was this what a yandere was like?

Scary, scary!

Jiang Che sighed and gently placed his hand on Ji Qingyi's head.

Ji Qingyi’s eyes gently closed. All the karmic ties of misfortune... would end from this moment.

She couldn’t accept other women by Jiang Che’s side, so she chose death, and she wanted to die only by Jiang Che’s hand.

"You are a natural evil seed. Even if your memories are wiped clean... no matter how many times you reincarnate, you will always become a yandere..."

Jiang Che recalled the root of Ji Qingyi’s yandere nature, so he casually erased all traces of evil origin within her.

Ji Qingyi was born from an evil seed. Her physique was the manifestation of the very first wisp of evil energy in the universe. Her status was incredibly high—it could even reach the level of half-transcendence. For an ordinary transcendent being, eradicating the evil energy inside her would be extremely troublesome.

But for Jiang Che... it was a simple task.

Of course, merely removing the evil energy wouldn’t change Ji Qingyi’s personality.

"There’s only one last resort!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Che directly sealed Ji Qingyi’s memory!

"A goldfish’s memory lasts seven seconds. I’ll seal yours for seven years, resetting it every seven years."

He definitely couldn’t bring himself to kill her, so sealing her memories was the only option.

For a stubborn person like Ji Qingyi, even cleansing the evil energy inside her wouldn’t change her heart. Even if he erased all her memories, once she stayed by his side... within a few years, she would develop an intense possessive obsession with him, and then, a few years later, she would gradually fall into darkness again...

So Jiang Che decided to stick to a seven-year cycle, resetting her memories just before she could turn dark again.

This was the best solution he could come up with.

Killing Ji Qingyi was out of the question. Sealing her away forever in the abyss would be nothing but torture. Jiang Che had no choice but to resort to this...

Soon, after Ji Qingyi’s memories were sealed, her eyes became clear and innocent.

She blinked a couple of times, then turned her gaze to Jiang Che.

"Who are you?"

Without her innate evil energy and with her memories reset, her personality wouldn’t turn gloomy or yandere in the short term... but given enough time, that was uncertain.

"I am your master... I am your husband."

Jiang Che gently placed his hand on Ji Qingyi’s forehead.

"Husband?" Ji Qingyi’s face showed a hint of surprise. She had forgotten many things, but some basic daily knowledge remained.

"Yes." Jiang Che sighed inwardly.

He swore that from now on, even if he married a female pig immortal, he would never touch another yandere. They were way too terrifying.

Even for someone like Mr. Jiang, who had achieved complete transcendence, real yanderes were a headache—let alone ordinary people.

"Husband..." Ji Qingyi had forgotten much, but she still wrapped her arms around Jiang Che’s arm.

...

When Jiang Che walked out of the demon palace holding Ji Qingyi’s hand, all the evil gods of the entire evil spirit realm were stunned.

Wait!!!

How could there be a man standing beside the Evil Emperor’s side?

And more importantly... the Evil Emperor’s aura had completely changed!

The once-proud Evil Emperor had been an aloof, cold, and peerless female sovereign, radiating evil energy across the heavens. But now she looked so clingy and gentle?

"E-Evil Emperor?"

A hideous, four-calamity evil lord cautiously spoke.

But Ji Qingyi had already forgotten that part of her memory. In her current state, she was just an ordinary girl, nothing more.

"Husband... why are they calling me the Evil Emperor?"

Ji Qingyi looked up and asked, a flicker of doubt in her eyes.

Jiang Che: "..."

This was going to be trouble.

Ji Qingyi was very clever. Even with her memories wiped, she could still pick up on clues and find inconsistencies. She would undoubtedly realize that her memory had been erased... and then she might fall into darkness again, becoming a yandere once more. Fortunately, with the seven-year reset, she probably wouldn’t have time to turn dark.

"Hmph... your husband is the Evil Emperor."

Jiang Che ruffled Ji Qingyi’s hair.

This statement immediately enraged almost every evil spirit present, but before they could react, Jiang Che waved his hand and reduced them all to ashes.

Dozens of evil lords and evil sovereigns were turned to dust. After all, these evil creatures had been created by Ji Qingyi herself using the black mist of evil energy. Strictly speaking, they weren’t even living beings.

"Husband..."

Ji Qingyi leaned close to Jiang Che. Even when facing those terrifying evil spirits, she hadn’t shown the slightest fear.

"Let’s go!"

Jiang Che led Ji Qingyi out of the demon palace, only to find several familiar figures blocking their path.

"Evil Emperor!"

A figure appeared—a woman in a black dress with black wings, her beautiful face as cold as frost. She was none other than Ji Qingyi’s number one enforcer, the Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor!

The Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor also turned her gaze to Jiang Che. "Demon Ancestor!"

As the ancient guardian left behind by the Ancient Evil God Clan for Ji Qingyi, she had an incredibly long lifespan. She had known Jiang Che since the days of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Beside the Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor stood the Fallen Heavenly Dao.

Both women were stunningly beautiful, and clearly... it was only a matter of time before they fell into Jiang Che’s clutches.

Jiang Che simply glanced at them, and they instantly found themselves unable to speak.

Having just managed to stabilize the little demoness Ji Qingyi, Jiang Che didn’t want these two to stir up any trouble.

Ji Qingyi looked up at the two women but said nothing. Still, she was probably already suspicious.

"I cultivate both demonic and evil paths. I am both the Demon Ancestor and the Evil Emperor!"

Jiang Che threw in another cover-up, which was also meant for the Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor and the Fallen Heavenly Dao—play along with his act, or else—

The Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor pondered for a moment, then knelt before Jiang Che. "Demon Ancestor, what are your orders?"

See? A bond of a million years? A guardian?

In front of Jiang Che, it all meant nothing.

The Fallen Heavenly Dao was stunned. She had been ready to resist... but if even the Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor had submitted like this, then what was the point of holding out?

So she followed suit and knelt.

"Heh—"

Jiang Che laughed. The Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor had looked like she would resist to the death, yet here she was, acting contrary?

The Demon Butterfly Evil Emperor lowered her eyes. She had awakened since the Ancient Heavenly Court and had always followed Ji Qingyi. Naturally, she knew just how powerful Jiang Che was!

Since even the Evil Emperor had submitted, why should she persist in resisting?

"Demon Ancestor!"

The Fallen Heavenly Dao knelt very obediently as well.

She never would have imagined that an ordinary young man from the mortal world could grow to such an extent in such a short time!

"Of course!"

Jiang Che looked down at the Fallen Heavenly Dao. As an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, her beauty combined the best features of countless women—flawless and breathtaking. In the past, he could only look but not touch. But now... he could do as he pleased!

Jiang Che’s wandering heart began to stir again.

Suddenly, Jiang Che sensed something was off and looked down... Ji Qingyi’s little hand seemed to be gripping tighter.

Holy crap!

So this was love at first sight, huh? Ji Qingyi was already getting jealous?

And he had just wiped her memory.
