"Is that really what you think?" Si Jin tilted her head and smiled, her right hand with distinct knuckles hanging at her waist where silver threads draped, habitually touching the silver unicorn mask she always carried: "Being by my side is not easy."
"But where in this world can one find true ease?"
Upon hearing this, the young master of the Gu King finally seemed to be amused by something, lowered the sedan curtain, and said directly, "Then let's go together."
"Thank you, young master!" Ji Linyuan replied, continuing to follow behind the sedan chair, keeping pace with it.
His blood-stained fingertips gently caressed the white jade thumb ring as he gritted his teeth and silently told himself—almost there, almost there. He absolutely could not fall until he was sure there was no danger around.
However, perhaps out of instinctive trust in Si Jin, the journey ahead became bumpy, and she almost fell to the ground several times, but she managed to keep going by relying on her willpower.
Seeing his pitiful state, Xiao Yao bit her handkerchief and cried: "Sir, he's so pitiful, can we let him get into the sedan chair?"
But in this world's storyline, this is the first time I've met him. Si Jin said: It would be too abrupt to suddenly pull him into the sedan chair, and a little pain might not be without its benefits.
Fueled by the hatred of being wiped out and usurped, the wolf cubs that crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood will suffer more pain. The more intense the pain, the more satisfying it will be to kill them later.
Even so, when she returned to the mansion, Si Jin's first question to the steward was, "Do you still have any wound medicine at home?"
"The pharmacy wasn't stocked today, but..." the old butler began, "it seems the young master took a bottle from the hot spring in the backyard last time."
"Okay, I understand." Si Jin said, "Arrange a place for the new guard to stay."
"Yes." The old steward accepted the order and quickly led Ji Linyuan to the guard camp in the mansion and arranged a room for him.
This is a double room, with two couches placed on the east and west sides of the room respectively, and two tables far apart. The space is quite spacious, and it was probably a place where the guards lived together.
After running around tirelessly for a month, Ji Linyuan felt sleepy whenever he saw a couch and longed to lie down and get a good night's sleep.
But considering his injuries, he still wanted to find a bathtub or hot spring first.
However, the guards were all training and there was no one around, so Ji Linyuan wandered around the mansion aimlessly for a while. Finally, he squatted down by the artificial pool and rinsed his leg with cold water. He had to clean the wound on his leg first, otherwise his leg would be ruined.
But before long, all the fish around him swarmed around him, staring intently at his injured leg, their sharp fangs visible in their open mouths.
Piranhas!!
Ji Linyuan was startled. Just as he was about to run, several fish grabbed his trouser leg, aggravating the wound on his leg. His entire body sank uncontrollably to the bottom of the pool.
The boy was startled. Just then, he saw a pair of boots passing by in the distance. He hurriedly took out the soft chain from his waist and swung it directly at the person.
The next moment, Si Jin grabbed the chain and pulled hard.
Splash—
The wolf cub emerged from the piranha pool, splashed with water, and stood on the ground at about the same height as him, or even a little shorter.
They're about the same height. Si Jin's eyes lit up slightly, as if she had remembered something interesting.
Xiao Yao held the plot synopsis, trembling with fear.
It really wanted to remind the adult that the little celestial being in this world was six years younger than him and hadn't fully grown up yet.
But... I dare not say it QAQ
Just as she was hesitating, Si Jin said, "I keep quite a few strange things at home, so don't wander around unnecessarily. The guards' bathing time is uniformly at night, and there's no hot water right now, so perhaps..."
"Come with me to the hot spring pool in the backyard, let's go together."
