Volume 4 + Chapter 212: A Surprisingly Easy To Handle Inner Demon

Inner Demon Xia Yi felt extremely embarrassed. Saying these words made her feel like her face was burning up, hot enough to fry an egg on.  

Yet, she still forced the words out.

“It was my first time too, and you… it was your time as well. Since that’s the case, I can only take responsibility for you!!”  

“What?”

Xia Yi was stunned for a moment.  

She hadn’t expected her inner demon to make such a statement.  

After all, usually her inner demon was always talking about fighting and killing, constantly trying to seize the body and erase her… right?  

Therefore, such a drastically contrasting statement left Xia Yi at a loss for words.

“First time? What first time…”  

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s definitely the precious first time!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi really didn’t feel comfortable explaining in detail.  

“Ah!”

Xia Yi seemed to understand.  

It appeared Inner Demon Xia Yi had misunderstood something.

“There’s no need for you to take responsibility, Inner Demon. You don’t need to do that!”  

“Don’t say that! Even though we are adversaries, we still did… that! I won’t try to find excuses to weasel out of it!!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi’s attitude was firm.  

“Although my goal has always been to seize your body, erase you, and descend upon this world as a terrifying demon, the rice is already cooked! What else can we do? You… at least read the mood a little! I’ve already made this decision, you should give me an answer, Xia Yi!!”

“Huh? I, I… this…”  

Xia Yi was overwhelmed by Inner Demon Xia Yi’s intensity.

“Alright, Xia Yi, stop messing around. Quickly agree with me. That’s what you think too, right?” Inner Demon Xia Yi pressed.

“This…”  

“Could there be any other way to handle this?”  

“Oh, right, right! R-right? Oh, no, no, no!”

After a bout of self-contradiction, Xia Yi’s logical thinking finally caught up, and she hurriedly explained.  

“Inner Demon, you’ve misunderstood! We didn’t do anything inappropriate at all!”

“This isn’t inappropriate enough?! Xia Yi!!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi was very surprised.  

“I stripped you, then… had my way with you, our tails are practically knotted together, and you still think it’s not inappropriate enough?”

“We never did the kind of thing you’re thinking of! You were indeed in an abnormal mental state at the time and almost did something outrageous. I was resisting the whole time! We even fought using the Holy Swords! In the end, I used my own tail to suppress you and turn the tables! I only fell asleep afterwards because I was exhausted!”

“…So, that’s what happened?”

After listening, Inner Demon Xia Yi sighed with relief as if a great burden had been lifted.  

“You really scared me… So, we really didn’t do it…”  

“Right. How could I not resist? I knew you weren’t in your right mind at the time, not responding to me. It wasn’t your true will,” Xia Yi replied.

However, there was one thing she was still quite curious about.  

If Inner Demon Xia Yi said she would take responsibility, what exactly would she do?

“Inner Demon, if I hadn’t succeeded in resisting and we really had… some kind of relationship, how would you… take responsibility?”  

“As for that, isn’t it obvious?”

Inner Demon Xia Yi blurted out, but her answer was still quite serious.  

“Let’s get married.”

Get married?

An image appeared in both Xia Yi and Inner Demon Xia Yi’s minds.  

That is, two little loli silver dragons wearing wedding dresses, holding hands, stepping into the marriage hall, and from then on becoming husband and wife?

The expressions on both their faces simultaneously froze.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Xia Yi and Inner Demon Xia Yi simultaneously fell into a deathly silence.  

The atmosphere, which had just started to ease, solidified once again.  

Both were so awkward they didn’t know what to say.

It was like two colleagues who really didn’t get along suddenly waking up one day in the same bed after having slept together, having done something they shouldn’t have, and then, having no other choice, being forced to walk into the marriage hall…

That was way too bizarre!!

Just when things were about to conclude, because of Xia Yi’s casual question, both their faces flushed red again.  

Xia Yi really regretted asking such a question.  

Inner Demon Xia Yi deeply regretted why she felt compelled to answer.

What kind of schizophrenia was this, marrying one’s own alternate personality?!

“L-let’s pretend I never said that…!” Inner Demon Xia Yi hurriedly averted her gaze.  

“Uh-huh…”

Xia Yi nodded nervously, not daring to look directly at Inner Demon Xia Yi.  

But staying silent forever wasn’t an option either.  

Maybe say something?

With that thought, Xia Yi took a deep breath, preparing to say something.  

However, as soon as she raised her head, she found Inner Demon Xia Yi doing the same, looking as if she had mentally prepared herself to say something serious.

The two had actually synchronized out of unspoken mutual understanding.

“…”

“…”

Then, the two blushing silver dragon lolis turned their faces away from each other again.

Not good, not good, not good!

Why was the atmosphere getting weirder and weirder? Why did it feel so much like a romantic comedy plot?!

Xia Yi couldn’t take it anymore.  

If this continued, she really wouldn’t be able to face her inner demon directly.

“Xia Yi, when I said ‘get married,’ I didn’t mean it like that!!” Inner Demon Xia Yi clumsily explained. “I wasn’t really thinking about marrying you together—oh, wait! If we really had done that, then I would definitely have to take responsibility, and taking responsibility would mean doing that! But now we haven’t done that, I just thought about it! Thinking about it doesn’t mean we have to actually do it, it can just exist in the imagination…”

“Alright, alright! Stop explaining, I understand!!”

Xia Yi hurriedly waved her hands, cutting off Inner Demon Xia Yi’s speech.  

Although she understood her inner demon didn’t mean it that way, this explanation was just making things worse.

“Let’s just put this matter to rest for now!” Xia Yi suggested.

“Yeah, I agree!” 

Inner Demon Xia Yi quickly nodded.  

For once, the two actually reached an agreement.

“If we’re not talking about that, then it’s… ah!!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi suddenly snapped back to reality, pointed at Xia Yi, and angrily questioned her.  

“Xia Yi! You called me out for milk tea just so I could take your place and get bitten by that bad woman! You were totally tricking me!”

“This…!”

Oh no.

Xia Yi didn’t know how to explain this.

“Inner Demon, how about you explain again about that marriage…”

“Don’t try to change the subject!! You have to give me an explanation, otherwise, I won’t let you off!!”

Xia Yi’s eyes rolled around. “Inner Demon, didn’t you just do something bad to me, pinning me down and bullying me?!”  

“That… is true,” Inner Demon Xia Yi admitted.

“Then let’s call it even! I tricked you, and you bullied me. Doesn’t that cancel out?”  

“That… does seem to be the case…?”

Inner Demon Xia Yi was momentarily speechless.  

There might be some issues with the details, but Xia Yi tricked her, and she bullied Xia Yi… so it should cancel out, right?

“Fine then, let’s forget it.”

After hearing Inner Demon Xia Yi’s reply, Xia Yi’s eyes widened.  

Her inner demon seemed unexpectedly… easy to handle?
