As Shao Linyuan entered the house, his body gradually warmed up, and his thoughts gradually calmed down.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly laughed at my own impulsive decision.
What is he here for? To have his yang energy drained?
"Ugh..." This is utterly absurd.
Caught off guard, Shao Linyuan was restrained by two fox tails around the waist. Before he could react, the fox pressed his hands down onto the bed and sealed his lips with its own.
A kiss that wasn't exactly gentle, almost like biting.
He felt Si Jin deliberately biting his lip and then drinking the blood.
Is this what they call absorbing yang energy?
But the little fox's lips were so soft and sweet that even though it hurt, he couldn't bear to part with them.
Shao Linyuan took a deep breath and was about to close his eyes when Ren Sijin started acting up. He then felt the pressure on his hand loosen.
Si Jin stood up, walked right past him, and lay down on the inside of the couch. Then, looking rather disappointed, she raised her hand and patted the couch on one side.
Shao Linyuan: ?
He turned to the fox and asked, "What do you mean?"
Si Jin raised her hand, her fingertips lightly brushing across his Adam's apple, stopping at his lower abdomen. She shook her head in disappointment, then lowered her ears and shrank into the blanket.
Shao Linyuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that the fox was indirectly saying "he can't do it".
Right? Right? Is that what you mean?
Although he was 28 years old and had never married, it was because of his background and had nothing to do with whether he was capable or not.
The man's pride was hurt, and Shao Linyuan was inevitably a little annoyed.
But since things had come to this, he didn't want to argue with a newly formed little fox demon, so he could only lie down beside Si Jin and gradually fall asleep.
After days of travel, he hadn't even had a moment's rest at his residence before the old emperor summoned him to the palace. He definitely needed a good rest.
In his dream, Shao Linyuan felt as if he was holding a furry little thing, and he didn't feel cold even in the chilly winter.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the door was kicked open with a "whoosh," followed by a sharp shout and a fierce gust of wind from a whip, which swept towards the wooden bed.
"You beast! Get the hell up! Do you really think the palace is your own home, sleeping wherever you want?!"
Before he finished speaking, the rune-covered whip came crashing down.
Shao Linyuan opened his eyes, his golden pupils flashing slightly. He flicked the whip back, sending it crashing into the face of the eunuch who had kicked the door.
Snap—
Blood splattered along with the skin.
The eunuch was in so much pain that he collapsed to the ground, wailing in agony.
Having finally managed to get up, he intended to unleash a torrent of abuse on Si Jin, but as soon as he looked up, he was met with Shao Linyuan's terrifying heterochromatic eyes.
So frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
The man leaned lazily against the headboard, his black hair flowing freely but not at all lacking in majesty. He spoke in a cold voice, "Using a demon-slaying whip to deal with a newly formed little fox demon? Does the Emperor know about this?"
"Such a magical artifact is unique to the Changning Division; it's not available in the palace. Where did it come from?"
The eunuch endured the pain, kneeling trembling on the ground, and it took him a long time to find his voice again.
"It was...it was the deputy commander of the Changning Division, Lord Zhu, who ordered it. He...he said that the beast needs to be kept awake every day so that it can...only then will it obey."
"This...this is the main hall of Qiwu Palace. This servant truly did not know that Commander Shao was here..."
At this point, Shao Linyuan suddenly realized Si Jin's identity.
She was the emperor's chosen concubine, and for a mere official to sleep here would be tantamount to adultery.
Last night I was truly bewitched, my mind was filled with thoughts of "absorbing yang energy" and "whether it works or not," I had no rationality at all, this is not like him at all.
Fortunately, the blanket next door was empty; the fox had disappeared.
Taking advantage of the moment when the eunuch dared not look up, Shao Linyuan used his own blanket to cover Si Jin's blanket, creating the illusion that someone was sleeping alone.
He said, "I've already disciplined the fox in the magic artifact. What, does the Emperor have to report to you before ordering me to discipline the fox here?"
"No, no, no... I wouldn't dare!" The eunuch was just a servant in the palace, so he naturally knew that he couldn't afford to offend the powerful and influential Changning Division.
Over the years, His Majesty has seized power from the Empress Dowager through the Changning Division, which has led to the growing power of the Changning Division Commander. His power has expanded from initially capturing demons to supervising all officials, allowing him to execute first and report later, and he can almost do whatever he wants in the Northern Yan Dynasty.
Even a first-rank prime minister would have to avoid him, how could he afford to offend him?
"Since you dare not, then come with me to the Taiji Hall." Shao Linyuan quickly seized the initiative and said in a sinister tone, "Let the Emperor see for himself how Vice Envoy Zhu has been abusing the future Imperial Concubine behind his back!"
After saying that, he was about to get up, but as he moved, he realized that his...
It appears to be entangled by a furry tail.
The slightest movement was met with a disgruntled groan, which was particularly noticeable in the silent hall.
