If You Want to Eat Roasted Fox, Burning It Is Better!

Dantai Huang's lips twitched for a long while, truly not knowing what to say!

Meanwhile, little friend Xiao Xing's determination to commit suicide today was exceptionally resolute. The rope kept failing to throw over. Frustrated, it held its wolf head and quickly leaped onto a tree branch! Sitting on the branch, it held the rope and tied it with its front paws with all its might! While tying, it looked at Jun Jinglan, making its intention crystal clear!

—Master Xing is telling you, I do not want to live today!

Dantai Huang swallowed her saliva. It was said that some wolves could not climb trees, but clearly, Xiao Xing belonged to the category that could! After watching for a moment, she turned her head to glance at Jun Jinglan: "Are you sure you are going to ignore it... committing suicide?" It was suicide, right? Although in both her past and present lives, she had never heard of an animal intending to end its own life!

Jun Jinglan merely smiled, leisurely crossing his arms as his long, narrow eyes watched its actions without any emotion. But looking closely, there seemed to be a flickering flame in his eyes; clearly, his mood was not very good!

Xiao Xing finally finished tying the rope, turning its face to steal a glance at its master. Seeing a hint of displeasure in his eyes, it felt anxious. But since it was already on the tree, it had to go through with it. Its body formed a ninety-degree angle with the ground, its front paws resting on the rope as it turned its wolf head to look at Jun Jinglan with a solemn expression —If you still ignore me, I will truly go seek death!

For some reason, seeing Xiao Xing seeking death, Dantai Huang, who usually disliked meddling in others' business, felt as if she was about to cause a loss of life—no, wolf life. She cleared her throat and said to Jun Jinglan, "Do you want to, cough... go save it?"

As soon as her words came out, Jun Jinglan still did not respond. Not only did he not stop Xiao Xing, but he also slowly closed his eyes, merely resting his mind. It appeared he was completely ignoring the animal intending to end its life!

Seeing this, Xiao Xing let out a disbelieving "Awoo," pulling the rope closer to its neck! —I'm telling you, I am truly going to seek death, and you will never see me again!

While Dantai Huang was pondering, Jun Jinglan's voice slowly rang out: "Woman, do you want to eat roasted wolf or fried fox? Once it finishes hanging itself, we can have a romantic late-night snack tonight. This Crown Prince's chef has excellent meat-roasting skills!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xing's eyes widened! With its belly facing up and its four paws spread out... it appeared to have fainted from anger!

She was speechless. Her first thought: This animal is so hilarious! Her second thought: This bewitching man is truly heartless!

However, even though Xiao Xing had fainted, Jun Jinglan's anger had not dissipated. Casting a cold glance at Master Xing, he said coldly, "It seems it died without needing to hang itself. Dong Li, take it away directly to be roasted!"

The moment his voice fell, the black-clad man landing on the roof had the word "yes" stuck in his throat. On the ground, Xiao Xing sat up like a leaping carp, quickly scurrying to its master's feet. Temporarily setting aside its hatred for Dantai Huang, it knelt down, stretching its front paws and retracting its hind legs —Master Xing is very strong, Master Xing's health is excellent, Master Xing is not dead yet, no need to roast!

Dong Li's lips twitched.

Dantai Huang looked at the sky in speechlessness!

Jun Jinglan looked at it indifferently: "What lesson did you learn today?"

Master Xing had a solemn expression. After thinking for a moment, it reached out its front paw to point at the rope, then quickly shook its head. —I will never hang myself again!

"Wrong! This master wants to tell you: never make yourself the center of the universe. In this world, no one is irreplaceable. If you want to die, no one will stop you! Do you understand?" Jun Jinglan lectured coldly, his face icy. Hearing this, Dantai Huang's heart tightened. She also knew that truth. Never make yourself the center; you might think you are important, but in the hearts of others, you might not truly matter that much. Yet these words were spoken with a cold expression by a man who held the power of life and death over the world. Was he enlightening Master Xing, or... had he experienced something himself?

With Xiao Xing's intelligence, it naturally could not comprehend such profound philosophy! But it understood the last sentence, "if you want to die, no one will stop you"! It whimpered for a moment, then burst into tears... Its master had actually said such words, breaking its wolf heart...

"Awoooo..."

Dong Li tactfully retreated a few steps, vanishing into the night.

Meanwhile, Jun Jinglan remained silent for a moment before resuming his lazy, indifferent demeanor. Tilting his head to glance at Dantai Huang's complex gaze, he smiled mischievously, "Is the Princess looking at this Crown Prince like this because she is in love with him?"

"You are overthinking!" This man simply could not be given a warm face; if you gave him an inch, he would take a mile!

As if having long expected she would have nothing good to say, Jun Jinglan did not mind. He looked lazily at his fingernails and asked, "What did you just ask this master?"

"Ah?" Dantai Huang was momentarily taken aback.

Rarely seeing her look dazed, he smiled kindly, yet said in a voice that could anger someone to death, "Just now, before Xiao Xing tried to hang itself, what did you originally want to ask? With your intelligence, I truly do not know how that foolish Chu Changge could listen to you!"

Hearing this, Dantai Huang rolled her eyes and said fiercely without any politeness, "A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory! This old lady is asking you, why do you treat me so specially?"

"Oh! Let this master think..." The man said, slowly looking up at the sky, his bewitching eyes staring at the stars, seemingly deep in thought.

Half an hour later... still thinking.

A long time later...

Two hours later...

Early morning arrived, the moon hanging on the treetops. The spring breeze of March brushed against her face, and Dantai Huang was nearly blown away by the wind, yet he still had not thought of the reason! Gnashing her teeth impatiently, she spoke, "Just how insidious and unpredictable are you to think for half the night?"

"This master has figured it out!" he suddenly spoke, as if he had truly found the key. Then he turned to look at Dantai Huang, smiling wickedly, "But this master does not wish to tell you. What are you going to do about it?"

Damn it! Sitting idly for two hours, only to be toyed with by this bastard!

Dantai Huang made a swift decision. Standing up quickly, both of her embroidered shoes flew out simultaneously! Her murderous intent pierced through the nine heavens, making one's hair stand on end...

Yet, by the time her shoes landed where he had been sitting, he was already a hundred yards away, his joyful laughter echoing from afar. Xiao Xing, who had been crying for half the night, glared fiercely at Dantai Huang before following him...

Dantai Huang looked in his direction and took a deep breath. She slowly calmed down, her brows gradually furrowing. She always felt that this bewitching man had a past, or... some kind of pain?

But her frown quickly deepened! Even if he had a past and pain, that could not constitute a reason for him to tease her, could it? This bastard, just wait until this old lady...

...

Far away. In the peach blossom forest, the exquisite man carried a silver object, treading on fallen blossoms as he walked slowly.

His leisurely posture was like strolling in an empty courtyard.

Xiao Miao was waiting there. Upon seeing him, he sighed helplessly, "Master, if you wanted to seek revenge, teach her a lesson, or have someone kill her, it would be fine. Why must you tease her like that!" Clearly, he had also witnessed the scene just now.

Jun Jinglan was taken aback, then burst into laughter. Teasing? He merely wanted to watch the stars with her for a moment. His hand toyed with Xiao Xing, who was crying miserably, as he spoke softly, "Xiao Miao, she does not believe this master is jealous. In truth... this master does not believe it either!"

Xiao Miao naturally nodded. That was normal; how could you possibly be jealous over a woman!

Yet, soon another voice drifted over: "But... this master seems to truly be jealous!"
