"I'm laughing... I'm dying of laughter!" Yang Rui, holding Si Jin's shoulder, was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe. "I thought he was so amazing, but he's really something else, hahaha!"
A slightly more serious disciple, seeing the Qilin obediently kneeling before Si Jin, tearfully apologizing to him, immediately reacted and approached Si Jin to ask, "Mr. Mu, is this your contracted beast?"
"Um."
"Wow, a Qilin! I've never seen one before. No wonder it's the God of War of Northern Qi." Yang Rui exclaimed, cautiously stepping forward with his eyes shining. "Mr. Mu, may I touch it?"
Si Jin nodded: "Of course."
Seeing the group of teenagers having a great time, Si Jin also asked someone to bring a chair for her to sit down.
After dismissing the servants and carefully examining the invitation to Ji Xuan's birthday banquet that they had brought, he looked up at Yang Rui and the others and asked, "By the way, don't you mind that I am the deposed crown prince of Northern Qi?"
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Logically speaking, a person from a vanquished country should not receive such preferential treatment in another country, but these teenagers... seem not to care about his identity at all.
"We don't care about status; you're amazing, and we admire you!"
Yang Rui stroked the Qilin's tail and grinned foolishly: "My father said that the world is too chaotic now. Countries are at war, eunuchs (Wei Linyuan) are in power, and women (Ji Xuan) are involved in politics. Who knows, one day, a nobody you look down on might climb over you and decide your life or death. So we should respect the virtuous and be kind to others. Of course, a villain like Mu Siyu is not worthy of our kindness."
As he spoke, the force in his hand suddenly increased, and the Qilin bristled slightly, turning its head to bare its teeth fiercely at Yang Rui.
Yang Rui immediately looked at Si Jin with a pitiful expression: "Mr. Mu~ It was mean to me~"
Si Jin glared back at him.
The Qilin looked aggrieved, propped its head up with one claw, and exhaled a deep breath.
It's an ancient auspicious beast, it won't stoop to the level of a little kid!
Hmph! ＜(｀^′)＞
… …
Over the next few days, Si Jin focused on restoring the original owner's spiritual power.
His body has completely returned to normal.
Occasionally, while he's sleeping, a powerful minister will turn him into a cat and tug at his tail...
Then, weakly transforming back into a human, he let the Ninth Prince kiss away the tears from the corners of his eyes and gently apologize: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
They know they were wrong, but they'll do it again next time.
One day, after examining Si Jin, Wei Linyuan held her in his arms and chuckled contentedly, "Jin Jin is much better now. All her injuries, inside and out, have healed."
Si Jin grew to the size of a normal person, but the cat ears on her head remained.
He held her in Wei Linyuan's palm and gently rubbed her.
He rolled his eyes at the man: "So, I should thank the Ninth Prince?"
"Yes, you should be thanked." Wei Linyuan would occasionally lower his head and kiss her, cutting off all of Si Jin's options: "I don't want any thanks other than offering myself in return, so..."
He slowly leaned down and pressed his lips to the boy's: "Jinjin, now that you've recovered, can you please stop pushing me so hard? I can't take it anymore."
"Tomorrow night."
A hint of disappointment flickered in Wei Linyuan's eyes: "Why? There's no time like the present, and besides, I see you're feeling better, so I bought everything today..."
“Tomorrow is Princess Ji’s birthday,” Si Jin said. “I want to go and see her.”
Upon hearing this, the emotion in Wei Linyuan's eyes completely vanished, and he suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
"Am I not good-looking? Am I not well-built? Am I not pleasant-sounding? Am I not attentive enough in serving you? You really want to be her male concubine?"
"No! I will not suffer this injustice. Since you are determined to go, I will execute you now!"
