Shao Linyuan: ...
"Thank you, but it's not necessary." After saying this expressionlessly, he turned and got into the car, worried about Si Jin's condition.
Wasn't Jinjin perfectly fine when she got in the car? How did she suddenly revert to...?
Thump—
Shao Linyuan didn't expect that as soon as he lifted the car curtain, he was quickly pulled inside by a hand, the curtain was closed, he was pressed against the car wall, and kissed unexpectedly.
They lied and deceived people one minute, and then kissed in the carriage the next, making such a loud noise.
Is it about constantly teetering on the edge of being caught?
Shao Linyuan's heart raced, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Si Jin deliberately let go of him, her eyes filled with extreme malice, and leaned close to his lips, whimpering in a transformed, childlike voice: "Uncle Yuan, don't... sob..."
The carriage drove away, leaving only the Minister of Justice standing there, who suddenly perked up: "Beast! What a beast! How could it be unnecessary? It was absolutely necessary!"
… …
Only after the carriage had driven far away did Si Jin release him, laughing wildly yet sweetly, hooking a strand of Shao Linyuan's black hair and slowly twirling it around her fingertip: "Uncle Yuan, do you think the Ministry of Justice will issue you a warrant for arrest?"
"Probably." Shao Linyuan replied, while silently wrapping his arms around Si Jin's waist and slowly pulling her closer. "So, since I'm about to be arrested, Jin Jin, why don't you let me... kiss you to my heart's content!"
After saying that, he flipped over and trapped the little fox, stroked the human's ear, and kissed it.
After a long and cuddly journey to the palace, Si Jin finally had a moment to talk to Xiao Yao when they got out of the carriage and returned to their quarters: "Who instructed the monsters to hurt people?"
Xiao Yao was caught off guard by the question, just like the "spot check" during the system training.
Besides, adults don't seem as easy to coax as Rakshasa QAQ
The little tiger scratched its head with its paws, finally arriving at an answer: "Zhu...Zhu Yan, right?"
"Yes." Si Jin continued, "Then guess what Zhu Yan's purpose is?"
Xiao Yao: [...]
The little tiger gritted its teeth in frustration, plucked out a few hairs, and fifteen seconds later, lowered its head in disappointment: [Ominous thought ≥﹏≤]
Si Jin smiled: He wants to frame me. I am the Demon King. He wants to provoke conflict between humans and demons, then expose my identity and make it impossible for me to stay in the palace.
Or, if the conflict escalates further, it could damage my relationship with Shao Linyuan.
After all, demons and demon hunters can never coexist peacefully. In the end, I'll have to slink back to his side.
This was Zhu Yan's plan.
【Pah!】 Xiao Yao couldn't help but spit: 【How vicious! Does he even deserve it? (▼皿▼#)】
Yes, he doesn't deserve to make me a scapegoat, so... Si Jin's eyes gradually darkened as she turned her gaze to the Empress's palace.
Speak slowly and deliberately: I'm going to find another scapegoat.
He loves watching treacherous villains kill each other; it'll be very exciting.
Because Shao Linyuan had to go to the old emperor to report on his duties, Si Jin had the opportunity to visit Zi Tong, who was suffering greatly, at the Imperial Clan Court.
Si Jin stretched out his foot to push aside the messy, blood-stained straw and saw that the palace maid who had broken his vase and acted arrogantly in his bedroom just two days ago was now beaten to a bloody pulp and had no trace of life left.
Upon hearing the sound, Zitong thought the Empress had come to rescue her, and her eyes were filled with hope.
But what came into view was Si Jin's smiling face.
Her pupils contracted, she trembled all over in fear, and almost burst into tears: "You... what are you doing here?"
Si Jin smiled and spoke softly, her eyes and brows revealing innocence, seemingly unaware of how shocking her next words would be.
"I'm thinking, probably no one in the world except me knows that the Empress's personal maid, Zitong, is a time traveler, and she's always considered herself a favored daughter of heaven, right?"
