Agares's unfathomable black eyes suddenly landed on her left wrist. "Who hurt you?"

My left wrist was wrapped in red gauze. Even though it was soaked in blood, you could only see the red gauze and couldn't see any bloodstains at all.

Her blood had a very faint smell; even someone with the most sensitive blood would not be able to detect that she was injured.

With a pale face, Jiang Si raised her left hand and waved it arrogantly, saying, "Who can hurt me? Don't be ridiculous. Don't you think my wristband is pretty?"

Agares narrowed his dark eyes and took a step forward to grab her hand.

Jiang Si had anticipated this. She quickly put her hands behind her back, took two steps back to create distance between herself and Agares, causing him to miss his grasp. She spoke politely yet distantly, saying, "Your Highness, regarding the divorce, if you don't mention it, I'll take that as your agreement..."

"I...I won't agree!" Agares interrupted her before she could finish speaking, the redness on his ears disappearing completely as he stared at her expectantly: "You said you would live and sleep in the same bed with your husband, and die and be buried in the same pit!"

He's feeling wronged?

He's not aggrieved at all.

Don't assume that just because she looks like a pitiful big wolfhound, she'll take her home.

I now refuse to keep dogs; I will not be lenient.

Despite the pain from the zombie virus coursing through her body, Jiang Si raised her voice and said, "I have said it before: my husband and I will live, sleep in the same bed, and die, be buried in the same grave. And you, you have tried to divorce me again and again. I have also said that I don't care whether your fertility value is 0 or 100!"

"But you ignored what I said. You think I was threatened and pressured by the royal family to register our marriage?"

"Use your extraordinary intelligence to think about it. With my skills and abilities, if I hadn't taken a liking to you, who could force me to fight?"

A flicker of panic crossed Agares' eyes. His lips twitched, much like a trained wolfhound with drooping ears, unsure how to appease or what to say.

Jiang Si exhaled a breath of stale air, her chest aching, unsure whether it was from the zombie virus or from seeing her cheap husband's tongue-tied and anxious expression.

She braced her Tang sword against the ground, using her weight to ease the pain in her chest. "Your Highness Agares, don't feel wronged. I'm the one who's wronged because you want a divorce, and I've hidden my identity from you!"

"I hid the fact that I'm your wife from you, and I acted so carefree and heartless in front of you. Do you know how terrified I am that you'll find out I'm your wife and drag me to get a divorce!"

Jiang Si paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, I can take these things as fun and nothing serious. The most terrifying thing is that when my husband already doubted my identity, and when General Chi Xi expressed his willingness to spend his life with me, you, the marshal of the empire, my husband, started selling me your good qualities!"

"You are my husband, my husband, yet you let another man spend his life with your wife. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Not-so-distant memories quickly flooded Agares' mind, and regret flickered in his heart. He slowly reached out his hand to Jiang Si: "Jiang Jiang, I know your wrist is injured, and I know you injured yourself while treating me!"

"Be good, let's go back to the warship now, heal your wounds, and then we can discuss the rest another time, okay?"

"No, why should I be obedient?" Jiang Si refused directly and decisively: "I saved you willingly, and whether I live or die is none of your business!"

"If you feel too guilty, just give me half of your assets during the divorce. Goodbye!"

When Agares saw her turn to leave with her knife, he felt a sudden panic and reached out to grab her.

Jiang Si turned around and slashed down with the knife in her hand.

Agares abruptly withdrew his hand, standing rooted to the spot, staring intently at her like a child who had done something wrong, hesitant and uneasy, only able to gaze longingly at her.

Fresh, bright red blood oozed from the corner of Jiang Si's mouth.

She grinned: "Agares, if you want me dead, keep stopping me!"
