This answer not only made Sheng Linyuan chuckle, but even Xiao Yao in his sea of consciousness laughed so hard she almost fell over.
It knew it! When did adults change their ways? So this was what they were waiting for!
But... [How did the adult know he would definitely want blood?]
Si Jin replied: The day you came back, I released my divine power to investigate the old beast's background and found that his divine power was too weak. He could only reside in Shen Zhiyu's broken system. Only then did I realize that he wanted to harm me and that he had to use blood.
Since the curse he placed on me before took effect through blood, I had to prepare in advance and tease him a bit.
After saying that, he explained to Sheng Linyuan, "Shen Zhiyu has always coveted my fortune. To exchange for fortune, one needs blood, so he made plans early on."
As I continued explaining, the strawberries were all gone.
Si Jin took a few; there was only one left.
"..."
He coughed lightly, brought the strawberry to his lips, looked up at Sheng Linyuan, and reluctantly asked, "Um... do you want some?"
Sheng Linyuan shook his head.
But after Si Jin took a bite of the strawberry, she captured his lips with hers: "You've finished my food, now I'll eat you."
He forcefully pinned the boy against the edge of the carriage and demanded a kiss, but the carriage stopped again after only moving a little.
The minister who delivered the strawberries had repeatedly asked Sheng Linyuan for favors without success, so he simply stopped the carriage and smiled obsequiously, "Lord Sheng, how were the strawberries...?"
Because of Si Jin, Sheng Linyuan rarely had the leisure to chat with him: "Hmm, it's fine, is there anything else?"
Seeing his interest, the minister was even more pleased: "Yes, Your Excellency, we have as many as you need. May we visit your residence for a chat?"
"Alright, I have some things to attend to first. You can wait at my residence." After bidding farewell to the old minister, Sheng Linyuan closed the carriage door, thought for a while, and then suddenly said to the coachman.
"Find something to plug your ears, and have the carriage circle the city three times, taking only the rugged, less crowded side roads. After that, stop at the Duke of Liang's residence."
"Yes," the driver replied, found a cork to plug his ear, and began to drive.
Si Jin initially understood what he meant: "What are you doing?"
“That old minister is in a lot of trouble. If he wants to earn berries for you, he may have to talk to him until midnight.”
Si Jin: "So?"
No sooner had she asked than Sheng Linyuan pulled her onto his lap and gently untied her belt.
"So I'm afraid I can't go looking for Jinjin tonight. Jinjin, please remember to hold me tight."
"You...can't you be a little more sensible...um..." Si Jin wrapped her arms around his neck, her gaze fixed on the scenery outside the car window curtain.
Along the way, we were "bumped" together.
Perhaps because the suburban road was too uneven, Si Jin's tears fell even more heavily.
When they arrived at the Duke's mansion, Sheng Linyuan still carried them out of the carriage.
Despite the pain shielding, I still felt completely drained.
Sheng Linyuan wrapped himself in a cloak, carried him all the way to his bedchamber, and gave him a reluctant kiss before leaving.
"If I'm busy too late tonight, I won't come. You should get some rest and remember to have someone kill that pig to nourish your body."
"Hmm." Si Jin yawned and waved for him to leave.
After a short nap, he got up and personally watched the servants slaughter the pig.
While watching the pigs being slaughtered, Xiao Yao also watched through his system as Shen Zhiyu, who was eager to transfer his fortune, was assassinated.
The emperor's cries were more pitiful than a pig's; his dignity and majesty were shattered, which was quite amusing.
Once the pig was cooked, Shen Zhiyu, protected by the Imperial Guards, collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted and filled with impotent rage.
"System! System! What the hell is going on? Aren't you going to explain this?"
Having seen this, Si Jin lost interest and continued eating.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, the Heavenly Emperor huddled within the system, speaking softly: "We've been tricked by Mu Sijin; that wasn't his blood at all."
However, I already used another method to deal with him, and we'll see the results tonight. Just follow my instructions.
… …
That night, after Si Jin finished her dinner and went to bed, she had a rather unpleasant dream...
