“Yes,” Shao Linyuan laughed, “So what if I want to have some fun? What can the Emperor do to me? What can you do to me?”

Zhu Yan's eyes grew increasingly fierce, the veins on his hands bulged, and his demon-slaying whip glowed with an eerie red light: "Give me back the fox!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a long sword flew straight towards him, its warm yellow aura carrying a rare hint of killing intent, and swiftly grazed past his ear.

Zhu Yan couldn't dodge in time, leaving a bloody mark on his temple, and his ears started ringing.

"We just passed through the Demon Cave, and I sensed a strong stench of blood there." Shao Linyuan held Si Jin steadily as they walked forward step by step, pausing slightly when they passed Zhu Yan: "The Demon Cave is very dangerous. If Vice Envoy Zhu has nothing to do, he should avoid stopping here, lest he lose his life."

After saying this, the longsword circled around outside and automatically returned to Shao Linyuan's scabbard. He then drove away with the fox.

Zhu Yan wanted to give chase, but remembering his lair, he headed towards the Wujian Demon Cave first.

Upon arriving at the demon's lair, he found it littered with rubble and littered with corpses. Of the more than 5,800 elite demon soldiers he had painstakingly raised over 20 years, not a single one survived, and the blood was piled up almost a foot high.

Only one high ground remained unstained by blood, with a wicker chair and snow-white fox fur on it.

There was only one hair; it seemed to have been accidentally left behind by the wind.

But even from this single trace, he might be able to discern who it came from.

"Jinjin, why don't you understand? I'm doing all this for your own good, so that you'll behave and stay by my side."

Zhu Yan held the fox fur in his hand, his pupils gradually turning crimson, brewing a terrifying storm.

"But my darling, this time, I'm really angry."

… …

Inside the carriage, after watching Zhu Yan's angry outburst through the Xiao Yao system, Si Jin's eyes also gleamed with a unique excitement.

It's been a long time since I've encountered a villain who's both intelligent and insane. What exactly is Zhu Yan trying to do?

"M-Master," Xiao Yao asked cautiously, "Why does Zhu Yan treat the original owner this way? He's the one who killed her! What's with this talk of liking her?"

Xiao Tongzi had never seen such a pervert before and couldn't understand it for a moment.

Si Jin raised an eyebrow: Do you know about unrequited love?

[Huh?] Everyone was completely bewildered: [Wh...what kind of romance?]

Unrequited love. Si Jin explains: It's a perverse tendency to feel romantic love but not want the other person to reciprocate. Once the other person gives a response, he will stop loving. Zhu Yan, the original owner of the unrequited love.

The original owner was originally a demon king, but Zhu Yan took a liking to him, transformed into the appearance of his deceased brother, returned to the original owner's side, and desperately pursued him.

How could the original owner accept her own brother? So she kept refusing.

Zhu Yan was unwilling to accept this, and in order to pursue the person, he dragged the original owner off the throne and imprisoned him. The original owner refused to accept this and gradually learned that he was an imposter, so he injured him.

Enraged, Zhu Yan drained the original owner's demonic power and threw him into the human palace.

At this point, Si Jin smiled and said, "Thinking about it this way, Zhu Yan probably wants to trap the original owner in the palace and torture him enough before rescuing him and making the original owner grateful to him."

This explanation made Xiao Yao's heart pound, and she was speechless for a moment. But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this explanation was the most reasonable.

Zhu Yan is truly intelligent, perverted, and disgusting: [Ugh!]

Don't be fooled by Zhu Yan's persistent pursuit of the original owner. Si Jin said, "If I just turn around and tell him I like him, he'll immediately lose interest in me and might even want to kill me."

【Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!】 Xiao Yao vomited even more violently, lying next to the small trash can with her ears drooping, looking pitiful.

Si Jin couldn't help but chuckle softly as she watched Xiao Tongzi make a fool of himself.

Shao Linyuan gently patted his back, lifted the little fox's head, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Aww...woo woo..." Si Jin whimpered, rubbing her soft ears against Shao Linyuan's neck, stammering for a long time.

It made him so agitated that his ears turned red, and he managed to squeeze out a few words in broken human language.

"Yi...wild...wild fun..."
