Ji Linyuan was taken aback: "Young Master is making fun of me."
"What do you mean?" As she spoke, Si Jin slowly approached Ji Linyuan, her lips, tinged with the smell of alcohol, lingering on the wolf cub's lips, nose, and cheek, but always keeping a distance, refusing to kiss him.
His slightly reddened peach blossom eyes held a flirtatious smile, which was incredibly alluring.
He opened his mouth and said: "Ji Linyuan, the eighth son of the late emperor of the Central Plains. Because his mother was born in the Aler Grassland, he has been growing up on the grassland for many years. Three months ago, due to his father's serious illness and the mysterious deaths of his elder brothers, he was forced to enter the palace."
"But... you suffered a palace coup. Your mother, your father, and all your close relatives were killed by your uncle Ji Mulin. At the same time, internal strife broke out in the eight tribes of the grasslands. You came to Miao territory alone to seek help, but no one dared to believe you."
"You took the knife for me because you wanted to use me to get into the Miao Kingdom's palace, didn't you?"
Si Jin's voice was very low, and her expression was innocent, as if she had no idea how shocking her words were.
Ji Linyuan's intuition told him that the person in front of him was dangerous, tens of thousands of times more potent than the most poisonous Gu poison in Miao territory, but he just couldn't take his eyes off him.
He asked directly, "Then, young master... what do you want me to do?"
“I want to take over Miao territory,” Si Jin said. “The current queen is the second prince’s mother. She killed my mother back then, and all these years, she has been trying to kill me and seize the throne. I want you to help me seize military power. After killing them, I can send troops to quell the internal strife on the grasslands for you.”
"May I?"
“You can’t.” As she spoke, Si Jin put one hand on Ji Linyuan’s shoulder and slowly approached his ear: “But your secret decree can. Your secret decree can help me concentrate military power in Miao territory.”
"But the secret decree is lost." Ji Linyuan couldn't stand being so close to him; his ears turned bright red, and his heart was pounding wildly.
He felt as if his very bones were about to melt from Si Jin's bath: "Young Master, would you be willing to lend me Xiao Bai to retrieve the secret decree?"
"Okay." Si Jin agreed, then slowly brought her lips closer to Ji Linyuan's lips, her eyebrows curving into a smile that was both alluring and mad: "Indeed, beauties are meant to be admired up close, aren't they?"
He asked, "Right?"
The last two words were almost uttered with breath, like bubbles rising from boiling water, so light they couldn't be lighter.
But it was suffocating for Ji Linyuan. Indeed, You Sijin looked even more beautiful up close.
Ji Linyuan suddenly realized he was wrong, terribly wrong. He shouldn't have compared Si Jin to the women of the grasslands.
Because all the beauties in the world cannot compare to even a fraction of the beauty before your eyes.
"Alright, now that the wound doesn't hurt anymore, go and tidy up the medicine on the table." Seeing him in a daze, Si Jin raised her hand and pushed him.
The force wasn't heavy, but the grip was very skillful. The thumb and little finger covered the wolf cub's collarbone, while the index finger could just touch his prominent Adam's apple.
Even that push was a deliberate provocation.
When the wolf cub stood up, it almost couldn't walk anymore.
Ugh! I can't take it! This atmosphere is suffocating!
I really want him...
Ji Linyuan suppressed his thoughts, quickly packed up the medicine, and when he returned, Si Jin was already only wearing an undergarment, propping her head up with one hand, lying on the inside of the couch.
Upon seeing the person arrive, he patted the spot next to him and said, "You're badly injured. The couch in the guards' room isn't comfortable. Rest here for a couple of days."
"Hurry up and recover from your injury, so as not to embarrass me when we go to the palace in a couple of days."
[The arrogant adult.] Little Yao'er secretly thought: He clearly felt sorry for Little Heavenly Lord and didn't want to see him get hurt again, but he was accused of having ulterior motives.
Ji Linyuan obediently lay down, blew out the candle, and by the moonlight, the spider lily on the young Gu master's neck became even more obvious.
A moment later, she couldn't help but think of that ill-fated kiss, and her breathing, which had just calmed down, became erratic again.
I really want to... really want to bite it...
