“Don’t worry, he won’t move against us openly. At most, he’ll send people to monitor us.”
I sighed. “Looks like our efforts were in vain.”
“No. The Su family is Xiliang’s deepest line in Qi. Since he wants to use you, we’ll dig up this line.”
He wants to see how strong we are, so let’s show him.” His eyes narrowed like a soaring hawk.
I immediately became excited. “Let’s do it!”
Seeing my jubilant mood, he quickened his actions, somewhat dissatisfied: “Focus. We’ll discuss these matters later.”
“Mmm—” I half-closed my eyes, my body softening. “But—”
“Don’t speak.”
“At least untie my hands.”
“This is fine.” He buried his face, biting open my undergarment. “It looks better this way.” He stared at my chest.
I was indignant. “I knew it! You’ve been dissatisfied with my small chest for a long time!”
He smiled and touched it. “Small has its advantages.”
I found my mind going blank, forgetting the trouble I’d caused.
“I really can’t understand how someone with a stone face could become a general.” Little Sister was particularly harsh about the person she disliked. “No wonder, after he takes the field, he uses his icy venomous tongue to freeze and squeeze the enemies to death!”
I winked at her, but she continued, “A big man keeping a turtle as a pet. That turtle matches him quite well, they both have stone faces.”
I covered my face, twisting painfully to the side. “Don’t… say… anymore—”
She looked at me suspiciously. “Second Sister, what’s wrong with your eyes? A muscle spasm?”
I raised my trembling hand and waved behind her. “General Shen, long time no see.”
Little Sister was startled, turning to face a bluish stone-like figure and a mischievous grey parrot beside him. Princess Jiang Yunqiao burst into uncontrollable laughter.
The parrot, Yellow, called out: “General! General, ugly girl approaching, please be careful!”
I coughed, while Jiang Yunqiao laughed so hard she could barely breathe.
Little Sister lunged forward, trying to catch the parrot. Yellow flapped its wings and landed on General Shen’s shoulder.
They stared at each other, with Little Sister crossing her arms in disgust, and General Shen frowning deeply: “Throwing yourself into someone’s arms, shameless.”
