"You're a dog yourself, can you stop assuming everyone else is a dog too?" Jiang Si scoffed. "Besides, I only realized I can bend and stretch, I can be big or small, just two days ago. Agares isn't a mind reader, he doesn't know everything about me."

Bo Jichen blinked his purple eyes, stretched out his arm, and directly tucked Jiang Si's head into his bun: "Baby, you mustn't tell me that you can grow big and small, and that you deliberately didn't tell Agares to torment him and make him worry?"

Jiang Si poked her head out from his burrow: "What do you mean by 'to torment him'? I'm doing this to flirt with him. While he's still young, I have to be unrestrained so that he'll know that I... am a petty, vindictive, and wicked person."

He had knocked her unconscious three times. Don't think that giving her all your assets and humbling yourself will win her forgiveness. You have to torment her, seduce her relentlessly, and make her want to have her but not have her.

Bo Jichen chuckled, his eyes filled with disdain, but his tone was earnest: "Daughter, be careful not to capsize in a ditch. The title of the most meticulous person in the Agares universe isn't given for nothing."

"With your little tricks and schemes, he could easily have you wrapped around his little finger if he just put his mind to it. I don't think you have much of a chance with him; he's more likely to flirt with you back."

To put it bluntly, be careful not to lose more than you gain by trying to steal a chicken; it would be ridiculous if you ended up eating everything, leaving not even bones or scraps.

Ginger shreds: "..."

Did he install cameras in her house?

What are you telling the truth about?

Is it even possible to maintain a pleasant, albeit superficial, father-daughter relationship?

“Moreover, high-level hunters all appear as prey.” Bo Jichen took in her expression and knew that his guess was pretty much right: “Or do you think Agares became marshal because his brother is His Majesty?”

Jiang Si shook her head like a rattle-drum: "I've never thought that way. He's strong enough that you can't beat him. He has the ability to unite people; all ten legions listen to him. He has principles, and he wins people over with virtue. It's destiny that he'll become the marshal."

Bo Jichen raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing: "So you also know he's outstanding and capable, so... what he has no shortage of is patience, and he's best at lying in wait for the right opportunity."

Jiang Si retorted, "So you mean I should pack up and run away quickly, lest I fall into a wolf's den and be completely destroyed?"

Bo Jichen: "..."

He warned her to be careful.

Don't let excessive joy turn into sorrow.

She tried to flirt but ended up being completely taken advantage of.

Don't ask him why he suddenly sides with his daughter.

The answer is... I hold grudges!

That damned bastard takes advantage of his brother's doting nature to make things difficult for him, preventing him from eating meat, sleeping in bed, being shot, and even kicking him in the bed. If he doesn't avenge this, he's not worthy of being called a dragon!

Bo Jichen clicked his tongue and tightened his arms around Jiang Si's neck: "That's not what I meant. I was just reminding you that he's smart and meticulous, and he might appear as prey, watching you flounder."

"You need to be careful. You must thwart his attempts to flirt, put yourself in an invincible position, and let him know that you, my darling, are not someone to be trifled with."

Jiang Si instantly became alert and broke free from Bo Jichen: "You scoundrel, have you suddenly had a change of heart, or have you been possessed? You didn't say this before!"

Extremes beget their opposites and become monstrous. This scoundrel in front of us was the one who used to be most eager for the two of them to eat stewed meat.

Now he's stopping her from eating stewed meat; no one would believe he's not up to no good.

Bo Jichen rolled his purple eyes and sighed heavily: "Honest advice is hard to hear. I, your old father, am thinking of you with all my heart, yet you question me."

"My old heart feels like it's been thrown onto ice, ice-cold..."

Jiang Si watched his disgusting acting, her voice turning stern as she interrupted him: "Speak like a human being, what do you want from me?"

Bo Jichen instantly regained his composure: "Oh, it's like this, there's a fat sheep who saw your food street and was envious of my Lover's Street, so I came to find you, set a trap, dug a pit, and slaughtered the fat sheep."

Jiang Si narrowed her eyes: "Is this fat sheep breaking the law?"

Bo Jichen nodded: "I broke the law, squeezed through a loophole in the law, and pushed out a few loyal little grasshoppers to protect myself. I'm eager to turn things around as soon as possible, so I thought of you."

Jiang Si raised her hand, rubbing her thumb against her middle and index fingers to show Bo Jichen: "How fat is this sheep?"

Bo Jichen's lips curled into a smile: "Top 20 on the Troya Empire's rich list!"

"Wow, that's generous!" Jiang Si exclaimed dramatically. "Okay, I'll take the job, but I need to inspect the museum first before I go with you..."

Bo Jichen stepped forward and hugged her again: "Silly girl, you need to know how to make good use of resources. What does Elder Jin do? What does Gong Ming do?"

"These two don't have many friends, but they have high social status. With a single call, what kind of big shot can't they summon? Making you suffer through inspections is a joke!"

Ginger shreds: "..."

That makes a lot of sense.

There was no rebuttal.

"Then hurry up and go slaughter the sheep." Jiang Si urged him, "What are we waiting for? Let's go and slaughter the sheep."

Bo Jichen's voice rose and rang out crisply, "Alright!"

The military headquarters was impregnable and solemn. The guards watched without looking to the side as the marshal's aircraft landed at the entrance of the military headquarters, disembarked, and walked in through the door.

The guards couldn't help but wonder why the marshal had to go through the gate. His aircraft could fly directly to the military headquarters and even had its own high-rise helipad.

To put it simply, he has the privilege to disregard all defenses and take the shortest route to the military headquarters. But... today he went to the gate, and when he got there, he got off the aircraft and walked in... What's going on?

Agares walked in through the main gate, before entering the military headquarters building. He turned a corner and went to the training grounds, where he offered some pointers.

After he left, the person he had pointed out, who was supporting his aching back, said, "What's going on? It looks like the marshal came from the main gate."

The man who had been hit, clutching his stomach, said, "You're right. He came from the main gate, and he hit us while unbuttoning his shirt... It's so insulting! Why would he need to unbutton his shirt to hit us?"

The man who couldn't get up after being beaten said, "The point is, the point is that he unbuttoned his shirt. Did you see his Adam's apple?"

Everyone looked bewildered and asked in unison, "What's wrong with his Adam's apple?"

The man who couldn't get up after being beaten pointed to his Adam's apple: "A tooth mark, a tooth mark, the marshal has a small tooth mark on his Adam's apple."

Everyone exclaimed in disbelief, as if suddenly realizing something: "So, all this time, the Marshal deliberately walked in through the main gate, circled around to the training ground, ostensibly to give us a trial, but actually to show off his wife's fiery passion and mark him on the field?"
