Holding it in...holding it in?
The eunuch was stunned, and for a moment he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
Wasn't Commander Shao always averse to monsters, and even more ruthless towards evil monsters?
Why is it that this time... they're helping the nine-tailed fox?
The eunuch coughed twice, trying to lift his head to prove he had misheard, but before he could utter a sound, Shao Linyuan uttered another word: "Get out."
This time, not only the eunuchs, but even the guards and palace maids around them were surprised.
“Commander Shao, the Emperor has ordered us to guard the Nine-Tailed Fox, but I’m afraid… I’m afraid this is against the rules.”
"Rules?" Shao Linyuan turned his gaze and chuckled lightly. "Are you demon hunters or am I? Did the Emperor give you the demon-training token, or me?"
Everyone was speechless. Unable to find any other reason, they could only turn around dejectedly and leave.
After everyone had left, Shao Linyuan closed the door and slowly walked towards the little fox.
The sword strike just now only severed the magic; it didn't break the golden chains binding Si Jin's hands. The little fox's wrists were red from struggling, so he had to untie them himself.
But now, without the suppression of magic, Si Jin had several more fox tails behind him, each wreathed in crimson demonic power, as if they could crush him into mincemeat if he got too close.
For some reason, after years of dominating the world, this was the first time Shao Linyuan felt somewhat intimidated by a demon.
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm." As he spoke, Shao Linyuan lowered his head, removed the white cloth from Si Jin's mouth, and then stroked his ear.
Soft, fluffy, and somewhat warm—that's why they say foxes are good at bewitching people.
Shao Linyuan felt that he was quite fond of it.
However, after touching his ears a couple of times, the little fox's demonic power on his tail lessened, and he became less wary of him.
Shao Linyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, and with his hands he untied the gold ring from Si Jin's wrist. Just as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly discovered that the red cloth strip over Si Jin's eyes had been rubbed loose.
At this moment, a strip of red cloth, about a foot wide, lay across the fox demon's high nose bridge, making his skin appear even whiter.
Those eyes were clear and bright, with red at the corners and glistening at the inner corners, like peach blossoms crushed on spring water, instantly touching the depths of one's heart.
A fox with peach blossom eyes, this is the first time I've ever seen one.
That glance was like a pebble dropped into a still lake, stirring up ripples in Shao Linyuan's heart. A mix of emotions overwhelmed him, making him want to comfort Si Jin.
A hand slowly rose, reaching out to touch Si Jin's fox ears again, but this time, the ears naturally bent down, defiantly avoiding his hand.
The little fox with drooping ears is both alluring and adorable.
Shao Linyuan frowned slightly, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? I'll get you some medicine..."
Bang--
However, before the word "box" could even be uttered, the nine-tailed fox's demonic power swept over him, sending him crashing to the front door three meters away with his back against it, making a loud "bang."
Shao Linyuan coughed violently, and when he looked down, he found that his gums were bleeding.
Only then did they see the nine-tailed boy slowly sit up, straighten his clothes, and completely ignore him.
So, the reason I let him touch my ears was because I wanted to use him to unlock the gold chain on my hand.
Now that they're no longer bound by any constraints, are they just discarding them like a used tool?
What a cunning fox!
Seeing Shao Linyuan's pitiful state as he haphazardly wiped away the blood, Xiao Yao couldn't help but gasp: "My lord, didn't you say when you first arrived that you were going to play the victim to lure him into saving you?"
[Now they're practically spitting blood! d(д)！！！]
Si Jin still didn't look at Shao Linyuan, and replied indifferently: I saw his eyes. He wants to tame me. Dream on.
