"You have good judgment. That fool Ji Xiao is no match for me."

Shen Jiao: "???"

What are we comparing? I don't understand.

Is it a competition to see who is prettier?

Shen Jiao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, he is too unattractive to the audience, not even close to His Majesty's good looks."

tyrant:"???"

What is she saying?

Why did the topic change so quickly?

Perhaps because she was in a good mood today, Ji Yan noticed that Shen Jiao seemed different from many years ago.

He has a good memory, but he doesn't want to waste time remembering trivial things. He has no plan for who he kills; whoever he thinks of is his death day.

The reason I remembered Shen Jiao was because of the feud between our fingers.

Since the frizzy hamster wasn't interested, Ji Yan carried her towards the courtyard where they were temporarily staying.

There were no servants along the way, and the patrolling guards all kept their heads down, not daring to look too closely.

Shen Jiao had become accustomed to the tyrant's capricious ways, and her skin had unknowingly become quite thick.

Although this doesn't sound like a happy thing.

Ji Yan placed the person on the soft couch. Shen Jiao lay there for a while before recovering, when suddenly a question came to mind.

She asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, when did you go to the dungeon entrance?"

Ji Yan stared straight at her. "I've always been here."

Shen Jiao paused for a moment: "You heard all those words?"

Ji Yan's phoenix eyes curved into crescents, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze: "Of course, is there anything you want to ask me?"

He had the air of a kind and open-minded senior student who would share all his knowledge.

Faced with the tyrant's eager tone, Shen Jiao shook her head.

It wasn't that she wasn't interested in the past, but those two dreams made her heart inexplicably lean towards Ji Yan.

Ji Yan scrutinized the hamster's bristling fur with a strange expression.

His voice was sinister: "You think he's talking nonsense? No, no, what he said is true."

“Jiaojiao…”

"As he said, I have eaten people."
