Caught off guard, Agares pulled her into his arms, and Jiang Si's nose touched his hard chest, causing her to groan in pain.
Agares's hand, which was gripping the back of her head, tightened suddenly, pressing the back of Jiang Si's head even closer to his chest. His body was as stiff as an outdated machine, and the invisible mental intimidation he exuded grew even colder.
The bandits, lying on the ground unable to get up, were suffering terribly from the pressure of his mental power, wishing they could kneel down and call him "father."
Jiang Si felt the back of her head getting heavier again, and she buried her whole face in her cheap husband's pectoral muscles.
She reached out and tugged at Agares's clothes, her voice muffled as she said, "Your Highness, I can't breathe!"
His pectoral muscles are good.
She hasn't even touched it yet!
I don't want to suffocate!
All right.
The main problem is that she hasn't earned any money yet.
Agares abruptly released his grip on the back of her head, his stiff body quickly retreating to create distance between them. His ears were so red they seemed to be dripping blood. "Sorry!"
Jiang Si sniffed, wiped her tears with her hand, and as she wiped...
Damn it.
They capsized in the gutter again.
She wiped her eyes with the same hand that had been rubbing chili peppers, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Agares looked at her tears streaming down her face, his brows furrowing deeply. He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and hesitantly handed it to her, saying, "You...you don't cry, it's alright!"
"Hiccup~"
Jiang Si hiccuped, grabbed the handkerchief Agares offered, covered her eyes, and explained, "I'm not crying, Your Highness, you've misunderstood. 20 billion..."
That damn mutant chili pepper is deadly.
Not only is it hindering her from making money, but it's also...
It even caused her cheap husband to misunderstand.
What did my cheap husband just say?
Tell her not to cry?
Was that meant to comfort her?
Does marrying a cheap husband make you more capable?
It's not so straight anymore?
Why doesn't she believe it?
“The 20 billion is yours, no one will take it from you.” Agares assured her in a hoarse, low voice, “And the more than 300 people on these, in addition to the bounty on each of them based on the severity of their crimes, the Empire will also give you an extra subsidy for assisting in the capture of the bandits.”
With a handkerchief covering her eyes and her eyes closed, her vision improved considerably. Jiang Si, her voice muffled, said, "There aren't over 300 people; even with 20 billion involved, there are only 125 people..."
Agares watched as she covered her eyes completely with a handkerchief, took a small step forward, and said in a cold, hoarse voice, "Only 125 people, not over 300?"
"No, I checked and it's only 125..."
"My darling, what's wrong with you?" Bo Jichen kicked someone away and darted in front of Jiang Si like a shadow: "Did 20 billion hurt your eyes?"
That shouldn't be the case.
With Da Bao's skills, he could handle not only 100 people here, but also 1000 people.
How could someone have injured your eye?
"No……"
“She’s crying, you should take her away first…” Agares abruptly interrupted Jiang Si, instructing his teacher, “You should comfort her…”
Wow!
The poorly made, drafty cotton-padded coat is crying?
Should we record her screen, use it as leverage, make a painful joke about her, and then laugh at her later?
Bo Jichen pondered for a moment, then blurted out without thinking, "Do I have to coax her? Honey, did you make her cry?"
Agares's furrowed brows deepened, his eyelids drooped, and he glanced at the bandits lying on the ground, about to speak...
A voice suddenly interrupted, "Attention, ship ahead! Attention, ship ahead! We are a patrol ship of the Rose Legion of the Troia Empire, conducting a routine inspection. Please open the hatch! Please open the hatch! Thank you for your cooperation!"
A patrol ship of the Rose Legion?
The legion of General Chi Xi, a relative of Wei Chi?
Jiang Si covered her eyes with a handkerchief and couldn't see. She reached out and grabbed Bo Jichen, pinching him. "What nonsense are you talking about? The person who made her cry hasn't even been born yet!"
Agares's gaze fell on Jiang Si's hand, which was gripping her teacher's hand tightly. She was afraid, clinging to her teacher in fear, trying to find a sense of security from her.
Agares said coldly, "Teacher, please take her to the Rose Legion's patrol ship and let Chuxi examine her. I'll handle things here."
Bo Jichen almost jumped up from being pinched. He stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around Jiang Si's arm, grinding his teeth: "Baby, let's go first!"
They both left.
Agareth's dark eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and he condensed a white ball of light in his palm, which he then hurled at the blue-bearded man lying on the ground.
"You said your eyes were burned by chili peppers, not from being provoked, angry, or beaten?" Bo Jichen asked in surprise as Jiang Si, who was bending over to rinse her eyes, leaned against the bathroom door in the Rose Legion patrol ship's room.
Jiang Si's face was covered in water, and she looked at Bo Jichen with one red eye: "Otherwise, do you think my husband would show up after I finally used my soft power to infiltrate the 20 billion people's inner circle and start harvesting their space buttons?"
"He pulled me into his arms and told me not to cry. Was I crying? I was just crying because of the spiciness, okay? He was just worried about my money, okay?"
Bo Jichen, who was leaning against the door, suddenly straightened up, his glasses gleaming: "You mean he pulled you into his arms and coaxed you?"
Has this wicked disciple grown quite capable?
I've got it now.
Now you know how to appease your wife?
Should we report this to His Majesty?
How about we grab some good wine and have a drink?
"Yeah!" Jiang Si washed her eyes again, picked up a towel, and walked out while wiping her face: "Dad, have I been exposed?"
A sharp glint flashed in Bo Jichen's eyes behind his glasses: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Your husband is straight, he can make me so angry I could vomit blood, I want to kill him."
"However, if you want to know if you've been exposed, seduce him. Go straight to home base. If he pushes you away, it means you haven't been exposed. If he doesn't push you away, it means you've been exposed for a long time."
Jiang Si tossed aside the towel she'd used to wipe her face, her hair still half-wet, and said, "You scoundrel Bo, will you die if you don't act crazy every day? Going home run? What kind of place is this? This is someone else's territory, how dare you!"
Bo Jichen rubbed his hands together: "You mean you can just go and attack someone else's territory?"
Jiang Si was taken aback: "No, I was just thinking that my husband is so straightforward, and I didn't give anything away, so he shouldn't be able to find anything out, right?"
Bo Jichen gave an ambiguous answer: "This is a matter of opinion, but I still suggest you check the box?"
Jiang Si pushed him away, "Stop giving me bad ideas. I won't fall for your tricks, you scoundrel. You just want to see my husband and kill me in bed."
Bo Jichen said reproachfully, "My darling, I don't like hearing you talk like that. You call me Daddy, and I want you to be happy too!"
As Jiang Si walked out, she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you now. I'll seduce him. If I'm exposed and he gets angry, I'll say, 'This is the kind of fun you taught me. You told me to do this!'"
