"Your person?" Jiang Si's round eyes sparkled with gossip as she looked at Shu Xubai. "Oh, you say no but your actions speak louder than words. You've finally admitted that he's your contract partner?"
"Shut up!" Shu Xubai growled at Jiang Si. "This is between your man and me. What business is it of yours? Stop babbling!"
Ginger shreds: "..."
That old, immortal vampire has gotten more powerful.
You dare yell at her?
Tsk!
As expected, forcibly turning the domineering one-way head into a two-way head emitted a disgusting stench.
Ignoring the fuming Shu Xubai, Agares brought his lightning-inducing hand to his wife's temples, massaging both of them with a large palm, and asked in a low, concerned voice, "Does your head still hurt?"
Jiang Si tilted her head, her expression changing in an instant, as fast as turning the pages of a book. She pressed her face against his neck and rubbed it against him, her voice sweet, soft, and gentle: "Honey, it hurts, I want to sleep. Can you take me home to sleep?"
Shu Xubai: "..."
This damn green tea is really asking for a brew.
Agares' dark, heavy eyes deepened. "Alright, I'll take you home to sleep."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si stuck out her tongue at Shu Xubai, smugly provoking her, wanting to fight her to the death. Whether she was in the mood or not, she thought.
After Agares finished speaking, he said to Shu Xubai again, "Lord Shu Xubai, please go back to the hotel and wait for a moment. I will take my wife back first, and I will come back to consult you after she falls asleep."
Shu Xubai: "..."
Wait until she falls asleep?
Should I take her home and lull her to sleep?
This damn girl who's lived for thousands of years, does she still need to be coaxed to sleep?
What kind of international interstellar joke is this?
"No, you hurt my people. You can only leave after you've healed them." Shu Xubai grabbed Jiu Feng's wrist with one hand and blocked their way with the other, preventing them from leaving.
Jiang Si's gaze deepened, and with a slight lift of her little finger, the hand that was wrapped around Agares's neck produced a thin willow branch that sprouted from the red willow ball and covered Jiu Feng's arm, which was torn and bleeding from being struck by lightning.
Before the naked eye, Jiu Feng's arm healed completely. In an instant, apart from the black ash from being struck by lightning, there wasn't a single scar on his arm; it was completely unharmed.
The slender red willow branches returned along the same path and landed on the huge red willow ball.
Jiang Si moved her fingers again, and the huge red tobacco ball instantly disintegrated, with countless dense tobacco strands thinner than needles coalescing into a huge tobacco stick.
In an instant, the willow branch shrank rapidly, wrapping around the hilt of the hunting knife stuck in the ground. With a clang, the knife rang out, the hunting knife stuck in the ground sprang out, quickly shrank again, and flew towards Jiang Si.
Upon seeing this, Shu Xubai blurted out: "The hunting can be upgraded, or it can be scaled up or down?"
The willow branch was wrapped around Jiang Si's wrist, and the miniature hunting knife, like a small pendant, hung from the willow branch, swaying on her fair and delicate wrist.
Jiang Si opened her mouth and, mimicking Jiu Feng, innocently replied to Shu Xubai, "Bai Bai, what are you saying? I don't understand a word you're saying."
Her childish voice mimicked Jiu Feng's, sending a chill down Shu Xubai's spine. He couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over, and his words came out in a fierce tone: "Speak properly, don't choke on your words."
Jiang Si ignored him and mimicked him perfectly: "I didn't speak in a pinched voice. Bai Bai, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're not hurt. I love you the most, Bai Bai."
Jiufeng said unhappily, "Little friend, don't imitate me. Your name, Bai Bai, doesn't sound good. My name, Bai Bai, sounds much better."
Bo Jichen: "..."
He slapped his hand on his forehead.
It's unbearable to look at.
It's simply unbearable to look at.
I waited here for eighty-one days and this is what I got?
What kind of mess is this?
"Shut up, get out of here, get out of here as far away as possible, I hate seeing you." Shu Xubai felt like he had goosebumps all over his body, and he felt like he was going to vomit up the blood he had been sucking for years. She called him Bai Bai, which was too disgusting. He couldn't stand it for a second: "Little kid, don't talk to her, or she'll corrupt you."
Ginger shreds: "..."
They really think highly of her.
The chick's miraculous rebirth seems to be due to amnesia.
He was never a good person to begin with, so why would I be afraid she'd corrupt him?
Jiang Si rolled her eyes at Shu Xubai, grinned at him, revealing her neat little teeth, and then rubbed against Agares: "Honey, we can go now, there are no dogs blocking the way."
Shu Xubai: "..."
Agares hummed in agreement and nodded slightly to everyone present. Then, he carefully carried Jiang Si away, her skirt billowing with his strides, the long ribbons fluttering as if flying towards the sky. The beautiful scene made Bo Jichen unable to resist turning on his personal terminal and taking a picture.
In the photo, Agares's departing figure is shown, his slightly tilted head just obscuring the ginger shreds clinging to his neck.
Jiang Si's wide sleeves completely covered her small arms and hands; in the photo, only the wide, flowing sleeves appeared to descend down Agares' neck.
After confirming that his adopted daughter was not in the photo, Bo Jichen logged into his StarNet account, posted the beautiful photo on StarNet, and wrote: "Red and black go very well together."
Ever since his daughter went into the fire, Bo Jichen has been unable to return to the palace or go to bed, and has not posted on Xingwang. This is the first time in nearly 81 days that he has been pushed to the top of Xingwang's trending searches.
Fans zoomed in on the photo and commented: "Black military uniform, black military boots, tall and straight figure, strong waist, he looks like Marshal Agares. General Bo Jichen is showing off his student. Case closed."
"The person upstairs must have been blinded by a cannon. Was General Bo Jichen showing off his students? No, he was showing off his pigs, which have finally started rooting around in the ground. 'Red and black go well together,' General Bo Jichen meant that Agares and the person in his arms are a perfect match, feeding us single dogs dog food."
"The person upstairs is right. So the girl in the red dress is the lady, or the princess?"
"Ugh, does the Princess Consort not even walk with her legs up?"
"With the empire's most powerful man around, why bother with legs? Just bring him. I also want to be held in those strong arms; it makes me feel incredibly safe."
"Alas, once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant. If I had known, I would have preferred not to have children and to marry Marshal Agares. If I had married him, wouldn't he be holding me in his arms right now?"
"Wake up, upstairs! Stop daydreaming in broad daylight."
"The Marshal is out, the Madam is out, when will the little prince come out? Baby Jiang Jiang isn't doing live streams or updating her social media anymore, what happened?"
Fans: "..."
Agares brought Jiang Si back to the palace, back to his own palace. He placed Jiang Si on the bed, knelt on one knee, lowered his eyes to meet her gaze, his voice hoarse and his face cold: "Jiang Jiang, the Nine Phoenixes have undergone a rebirth, burning in the fire for 79 days, and have lost their memories."
“You were burned in the fire for 81 days. You didn’t lose your memory, but you shrank. You dragged Lord Shu Xubai into the pit and threw him out after two days. He was furious and burning with rage. He clutched his chest, and his face was even paler than before.”
"All of the above signs indicate that he was dragged into this mess by you, suffered severe psychological and emotional damage, which made him furious and want to fight you to the death."
"Then, can you tell me why you want to drag Shu Xubai out any longer? Why do you want to absorb his spiritual energy, and even his blood? Why did you choose him instead of me, your husband, to share your joys and sorrows?"
