A heartless...faithless man?
Shao Linyuan was puzzled. When had he ever been unfaithful? Apart from touching the fox's ears at the very beginning when he was confused, he hadn't done anything else unfaithful. On the contrary, he had been abandoned all along.
The Northern Yan Dynasty is located next to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain on its eastern side. Shao Linyuan has seen many demons in his daily life, but fox demons are extremely rare.
Furthermore, since fox spirits are mostly intelligent and cannot be captured, his understanding of fox spirits is even more limited.
If he had known that touching ears was a courtship behavior for a fox demon, he wouldn't have done it...
No, he will.
Shao Linyuan thought: The little fox is so well-behaved, so beautiful, and so interesting, how could he give it to someone else?
Finally, she pinched the bridge of her nose and began to talk to the little fox: "Do you remember what I said to you when you used my clothes and blankets to build your nest?"
Si Jin shook his head. He remembered that Shao Linyuan did say something, but his mind was full of... and he didn't hear a single word clearly.
Shao Linyuan's brows furrowed slightly—as expected, he hadn't heard clearly.
They thought he had been eating and sleeping for free, so he was a heartless man who only deserved to eat berry leaves.
Taking a deep breath, Commander Shao had no choice but to explain again: "I said that day, I know that a fox will only seek one mate in its lifetime. If you are really willing to come with me, I can take you out of the harem and overthrow the imperial power for you."
“I’ve touched your ear, so I’ll take full responsibility. You can be as unrestrained and do whatever you want with me.”
"As long as I live, I will protect you for one day; as long as I live for one year, I will protect you for one year; as long as I live my whole life, I will protect you for my whole life."
Shao Linyuan was a man of few words. His difficult childhood had instilled in him a quiet and reserved nature, but his words, when put together, had a powerful and moving effect.
Si Jin recalled that in this world, she had never spoken of her feelings for Meizi, nor had she told Shao Linyuan.
Just because he drew a rough outline of a strawberry with his fingertip dipped in water on the table one day, he found it in less than three days, even in the dead of winter.
Thinking about it, she twitched her fox ears, stretched out her left hand, picked up a berry that she had been hiding behind her back, and proudly handed it to the other person.
Taking the berries, Shao Linyuan smiled and took Si Jin's hand. The nine-tailed white fox was finally under his control.
"I haven't asked you your name yet?"
"Eek."
“Si…Jin? What a nice name.” Shao Linyuan momentarily overlooked that Si was the surname of the royal family in the demon realm. Just hearing the surname was enough to make countless lesser demons tremble with fear.
His heart and eyes were only on the pitiful little fox that had just taken shape in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.
He continued, "My name is Shao Linyuan. Can you pronounce this name?"
Seeing how serious he was, Si Jin's eyes curved almost imperceptibly as she continued to play along: "sh...r...lin...ying."
After failing, he naturally drooped his fox ears, placed his hands on his knees, and looked at his snow-white sleeves.
He actually preferred red clothes, but Shao Linyuan thought white clothes were clean and simple, saying that someone as pure as him should wear white.
So what should we do?
Just take some blood from some trash and smear it, and it'll look beautiful.
No one knew what secrets the harmless little fox with drooping ears harbored. Shao Linyuan got up, went to Si Jin's side, and persistently taught him.
"If you don't know how, just read the last character first, 'Yuan'." He held the little fox's hand and coaxed it gently: "Call it, 'A Yuan'."
“a…yi…woo.” The fox’s ears drooped even lower.
Help!!! It's so cute!!!
Shao Linyuan stared at the little fox's beautifully shaped thin lips and continued to teach: "A-Yuan, retract the tip of your tongue, Yuan."
“Ah…yu…um…”
This time, before she could even finish learning a sentence, Shao Linyuan directly embraced the fox and kissed her, forcing Jinjin's eyes to redden. She then pressed close to his lips and gave him a harsh reminder.
"Place the tip of your tongue where I just placed it for you, and try calling out again, 'A-Yuan.'"
