"Daughter!" Bo Jichen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He let go of Chu Xi and quickly came to Jiang Si's side: "You can't let others decide your life, not even Agares. Be good, Daddy will take you to catch rabbits. You've never seen a level 10 beast before, have you? Daddy will go catch one for you to play with, okay?"

This is a question that could cost you your life.

Agares said that Chixi was someone he could entrust his life to, and that the marriage had to be dissolved whether they wanted to or not.

If he says no, he'll have to swallow back his words about wanting a divorce.

He hoped Agares would say no and put an end to the idea of ​​divorce.

But he was also afraid that Agares would say that Chixi was someone he could entrust his life to, which would mean the marriage would be off, and his precious little black-hearted cotton-padded jacket would become someone else's wife.

no!

Absolutely not!

Jiang Si raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile: "Daddy, you've been here the whole time, and you've heard what His Highness has been saying."

"He said he wanted to break off his engagement with his wife, and the way he was so eager made it seem like his wife was a burden, something shameful, and unworthy of him..."

“Miss Ajahn!” Agares interrupted him in a calm voice: “Please don’t slander your own... your own friend like this. She is fine and has done nothing wrong. The one who is wrong is me. I am the one at fault.”

Is she alright?

He had no idea his wife was standing right in front of him, yet he said she was fine.

This isn't how you deceive yourself.

"Where is she?" Jiang Si asked, looking at him. "Tell me about her, okay?"

Agares' eyes flickered, and he avoided her gaze: "She's perfect in every way, there's nothing wrong with her."

Jiang Si gave a self-deprecating smile: "She's perfect in every way, but if you want to divorce her, it means she's terrible in every way!"

Agares' voice grew increasingly hoarse and deep, "No, she's perfect in every way, it's all my fault..."

Jiang Si raised her voice to interrupt him: "What did you do wrong? You are an Imperial Prince and Marshal, a national idol. Every choice you made was correct. If there is anything wrong with you, it is that you don't love her."

Agares' body trembled, his pupils constricted, and he looked at Jiang Si with unprecedented seriousness, his thin lips trembling slightly.

"Daughter, that's enough." Bo Jichen reached out and grabbed Jiang Si's wrist, exasperated, and said indirectly, "Some fools want to divorce you. Let him deal with it himself. We won't tolerate him."

"But we must be selective and not settle for less. My daughter is so outstanding and beautiful, she's not someone that just anyone can be good enough for."

"Remember what we said before? Your blind husband wants a divorce, so we'll find him and show him what a wicked person he can be!"

What did they say?

It was said in the palace.

Agares wants a divorce from her.

Bo Jichen recognized her as his younger sister and made Agares call her "Master Aunt".

Then have His Majesty bestow upon her a noble title, and after Agares retires, have him serve as her guard, calling her aunt or grandmother.

That's not bad either.

Since she's unhappy, no one else can be happy.

Jiang Si twisted her wrist, breaking free from Bo Jichen, and smiled, "Your Highness, you haven't answered my question yet. Is Chi Xi someone I can entrust my life to? I've said it, just tell me, and I'll listen to you!"

Bo Jichen: "..."

He wished he could go back half an hour and just kill himself.

It's all that damned competitive spirit that makes him so foul-mouthed and reckless.

Did you just stir up a hornet's nest?

If His Majesty knew, he'd be in deep trouble.

Agares averted his gaze from her and turned to Chixi.

Chi Xi raised his hand and gave a sharp salute to Agares, looking at the Imperial Prince Marshal with a firm gaze: "Marshal, I swear in the name of the Chi family that if I marry Miss A Jiang, I will cherish her like a treasure and will never bully her in the slightest."

Agares ignored his assurances, stared at him for a moment, then looked at Jiang Si again and said very slowly, "Chi Xi, general of the Rose Legion, 38 years old this year, graduated from the First Military Academy, and lives in the First-Class Duke's Mansion on the capital star!"

"Smack!"

Bo Jichen put his hand on his forehead. What is this brat doing?

Is someone introducing themselves on behalf of another person?

Are you having a matchmaking event?

Is there anyone who would push his wife away like that?

With a fertility value of 0, he made the decision to live a lonely life without even asking his adopted daughter if she was willing, and didn't try to fight for his own happiness.

Agares paused slightly, then said in a hoarse voice, "The Chi family is a large family. Our ancestors are still alive. They are..."

Jiang Si reached into the spatial button and took out her Tang sword, the Hunter. Holding the hilt in her right hand with the tip of the blade against the ground, she coldly interrupted Agares: "Your Highness, your answer is wrong. This is not the answer I want to hear. Answer again."

Agares's gaze fell on her blade, shrouded in willow smoke, devoid of any cold glint or murderous aura: "I'm sorry, these are things I shouldn't be saying. He should have told you all this after you spent time together. So, he is someone you can entrust your life to..."

With a hiss, the sound of the blade scraping the ground drowned out Agares's voice.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Si twisted the hand holding the knife handle, and the willow branch wrapped around the knife instantly retreated from the tip to the handle, gripping Jiang Si's hand and turning into a beautiful green branch.

Jiang Si raised the knife, and the murderous aura and bloody smell emanating from it filled the entire space, transforming into a powerful pressure.

Chu Xi couldn't help but step back, bracing herself against the ship's hull to steady herself.

Chi Xi's expression changed drastically. He mobilized all his mental energy to resist the powerful pressure, only to find that it forced him to retreat repeatedly.

Bo Jichen: "..."

Well, that's none of my business.

It's out of control.

It's time for a fight.

Let's fight this bastard and he'll learn that lying will get him beaten up.

Jiang Si smiled, but her eyes didn't reach her eyes: "Your Highness, I answered incorrectly. I'm sorry, I'm in a very bad mood right now, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, he raised his knife and slashed at Agares.

The blade was sharp and cold, aimed directly at Agares's neck.

It was almost up to his neck.

With a loud clang.

The patrol ship shook violently.

Jiang Si lost her footing and was thrown out as the patrol ship swayed and lurched.

Agares' eyes narrowed, and he moved with lightning speed, gripping her blade with one hand and supporting her waist with the other, steadying her.

At the same time, his hand was cut by the blade, and blood flowed freely.

There was another loud crash.

The patrol ship rocked even more violently.

Chi Xi, leaning against the ship's hull, shouted into the communications system, "What's going on?"

An anxious voice came through the communication device: "Reporting to the general, we are surrounded by the Red-Eyebrowed bandit's fleet!"
