She was afraid.
Are you so afraid that you have to take action against yourself?
Agares's slightly furrowed brows tightened, and suddenly, his hand loosened, his stiff, hoarse voice carrying a hint of apology: "I'm sorry!"
Jiang Si paused slightly as she retreated, somewhat unable to understand the man before her.
Although he wasn't aggressive, every action and word he uttered revealed that he saw through her disguise and wanted to imprison her.
“I mean no harm,” Agares said in a deep voice. “It is an honor for the Empire to have a Rank 7 Plant Healer like you. I can also understand why you want to hide your identity.”
Ginger shreds: "..."
This is not quite what I expected?
My cheap husband doesn't follow any rules at all.
The normal procedure should be that no matter how you run or struggle, you have to farm and heal me. If you resist, you'll be thrown into an uninhabited planet, where you can neither live nor die.
Now her cheap husband is apologizing to her and saying he understands her?
What do you understand about her?
Hiding behind an alias?
Or is this a conspiracy to lower her guard?
"Look, look! The commander has let go of her hand. It seems we misunderstood." Leia scratched Sizhang vigorously with her hand: "Lieutenant Mor, who is Miss Ajahn's husband, and who is he in our Hunting Legion?"
Si Zhang grabbed his hand: "Vice General Leia, can you stop scratching me if you're so agitated?"
Moore chuckled, "Our hunting legion's biggest boss is the commander-in-chief. Are there any other big shots?"
Leia: "..."
Aren't major generals and lieutenant generals human beings?
If Miss A-Jiang were the madam, she probably wouldn't think much of the commander-in-chief either. Otherwise, two people of similar strength would be fighting to the death every day.
"Your Highness, you're not going to arrest me?" Jiang Si asked tentatively, her eyes darting around uncertainly, her heart still pounding in her throat.
Agares's face remained cold and stern, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "You are a legal citizen of the Troia Empire, or a family member of a frontline combatant of the Hunting Legion. You haven't violated any criminal laws, so why should I arrest you?"
Are you really not going to arrest her?
What kind of amazing husband is this? He doesn't even covet her level 7 plant-based healing mental power.
Jiang Si felt as if she had been hit by a giant candy, her whole body was covered in pink bubbles, sweet from her mouth to her heart, and from her heart to every limb, her whole body exuding sweetness.
"Here, have some." She smiled, her eyes crinkling like she'd just stepped out of a honeypot, and sweetly opened her palm to reveal the emerald green snake gall in her hand, handing it back to her. "This stuff clears heat and detoxifies, brightens the eyes, and is good for your health. I'm not lying to you, you can trust me."
Agares' gaze froze for a moment. "Thank you!"
Even he himself didn't realize that seeing her smiling with her eyebrows curved, he felt a sense of relief.
Jiang Si saw him throw the snake gall into his mouth and swallow it without any hesitation. She casually took out her fruit tea from her spatial button and handed it to him: "Rinse your mouth, it will taste a bit fishy."
The transparent glass was only half full of fruit tea, clearly indicating that she had already drunk from it.
Agares took a half step back in refusal, distancing himself from Jiang Si, and said politely but distantly, "No need, thank you, Your Excellency."
The other party is the wife of my subordinate, and also a level 7 plant therapist. I should address her respectfully and keep my distance from her.
Without thinking much, Jiang Si stuffed the fruit tea into her spatial button and stared intently at him.
He asked again, "Your Highness, are you really not going to take me to the laboratory, not want to dissect me, and examine my mental strength?"
Agares was taken aback, a slight smile playing on his lips. He opened his mouth and said, "According to Article 519 of the Imperial Criminal Code, no citizen may be arrested except with the approval or decision of the Prosecutor's Office or the decision of the Court, and the arrest must be carried out by the Public Security Bureau. Illegal detention and other illegal deprivation or restriction of citizens' personal freedom are prohibited."
"Those who violate this rule will be illegally detained, deprived of their freedom, and sentenced to imprisonment for more than three years, exile to an uninhabited planet, or imprisonment for a fixed term."
"Imperial criminal law will not show any favoritism just because I am a marshal or a prince of the empire. Of course, it will not confine or imprison you just because you possess 7th-tier plant healing spiritual power."
"Don't worry, if I illegally detain you and break the law, you can skip the prosecutor's office and the court and go directly to His Majesty and the Empress."
