My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Lin Ying’s delicate body trembled slightly, letting go of Chen Lu’s back, and instead holding onto his shoulders, she slightly raised her sharp, snow-white chin to meet his gaze: "...Are you going to find Si Yujie later?"

"Yes."

Chen Lusi responded, then slowly lowered his head to gently kiss her soft, warm cherry lips.

"Mmm..."

Chen Lusi leaned forward, full of aggression.

Lin Ying grabbed Chen Lusi’s shoulders forcefully, leaning back slightly, unable to breathe.

A few minutes later.

Lin Ying suddenly turned her head, her face flushed as she said: "No way, are you really planning to wait until the evening? ...Go now, come back soon!"

After saying that.

Without waiting for Chen Lusi to react.

She lightly jumped down.

Then she circled around to Chen Lusi’s back, pushing him towards the door.

Chen Lusi: "..."

"Go quickly, and then come back soon."

After pushing Chen Lusi to the door, Lin Ying clasped her hands behind her back, her fair fingers intertwined, and looked up at Chen Lusi, whispering: "Don’t kiss me and then carry me into the bathroom... I won’t want you to leave."

...

Chen Lusi took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mindset before finally leaving.

Convincing Si Yujie to cooperate and go to the First Emperor’s Mausoleum was not a small matter, after all.

He walked down the corridor and returned to the elevator, pressing the floor where Si Yujie’s home was located.

In the meantime, he inexplicably thought of Lin Ying’s earlier actions and couldn’t help but smile lightly.

It wasn’t until he stood in front of Si Yujie’s door that he came back to himself, calming his mood entirely before knocking gently on the door.

Click—

The door was quickly opened.

A girl as delicate as carved jade stood at the door, looking up to see Chen Lusi, her eyes lit up immediately, though she was still a little shy... she just softly called out, "Brother Chen Lusi."

Chen Lusi looked at Si Jiayan, gently rubbed her head, and then asked: "Where’s your mom?"

But before the little girl could answer.

Si Yujie came out from behind her: "You’re here, I made a cake..."

The little girl immediately turned around, pointing behind her with a small hand.

Chen Lusi looked up.

Probably because she was at home.

Si Yujie rarely dressed so casually, completely different from usual; she wore hot pants below, revealing a pair of plump, fair long legs, and a white camisole above with a bear apron around her waist, looking very homely, like a virtuous wife and good mother.

"Yes."

Chen Lusi looked at Si Yujie and nodded lightly before walking forward.

The little girl hesitated for a moment and reached out to grab his clothes.

"I wanted to discuss something with you."

Chen Lusi came to stand before Si Yujie, thought for a while, and still got straight to the point, saying: "The First Emperor’s Mausoleum..."

But he had just started.

"Wait."

Si Yujie suddenly interrupted him, then slightly furrowed her beautiful brows and reached out, pinching his chin.

Chen Lusi: "..."

???

Are you joining in too?

But clearly, Chen Lusi misunderstood.

"You have a lipstick mark on your cheek."

Si Yujie’s beautiful face showed a trace of helplessness, teasingly said: "You come to me and at least clean it, fortunately, I’m magnanimous. Otherwise, there’d be a big fight now, and little Yan would be in her room crying..."

After saying that.

She helped Chen Lusi wipe the lipstick mark off his face.

Chen Lusi felt a bit embarrassed: "...what has this to do with little Yan?"

The little girl tilted her head up, blinked her eyes, and smiled secretly.

Si Yujie was stunned for a moment, then softly spoke to make it up: "...Just giving an example."

After speaking.

She released Chen Lusi’s chin and changed the subject: "I heard Ji Xin talk about the First Emperor’s Mausoleum, but little Yan..."

Chen Lusi subdued his embarrassment and shared his thoughts: "Let her stay by Ji Xin’s side for now. I’ll give her a Summoning Talisman just in case; right now, the Self’s leader is still held underground at the Celestial Strategy Mansion, so the problem shouldn’t be too big."

Si Yujie slowly nodded: "If that is the case, it is indeed feasible, but..."

"Go ahead, Mom."

The little girl let go of Chen Lusi’s clothes and suddenly hugged her mother: "Don’t worry about me, Mom has been trapped here too long."

"What trapped."

Si Yujie slowly lowered her head, looked at her daughter, and gently rubbed her head, her expression tender.

The little girl added: "And I want to go to the Imperial Capital to play."

"Hmm..."

Si Yujie pondered for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Chen Lusi again: "I understand...but the First Emperor’s Mausoleum is indeed quite troublesome. When I was in Chang’an, no one dared to get too close to that place...and there are many legends related to it; before setting out, I’ll find some time to tell you all about it."

"Okay."

Chen Lusi nodded.

"Have you determined the team members for the expedition to the First Emperor’s Mausoleum?"

Si Yujie pressed her daughter’s head, shifted the topic, and smiled: "Panqiu and Wu You will be here later; do you want to take them along? Both were quite down after the Catherine incident because they didn’t help with public prosecution. They have been training crazily since then.

Even more in the past two days... and the effect isn’t bad."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi hesitated a bit.

In fact, he didn’t want to let them take risks.

"Let them go."

Knowing Chen Lusi’s thoughts, Si Yujie looked at his hesitating expression and said gently: "I know you want to protect us, but there’s no need to treat us like hothouse flowers. It would make us feel like you’re drifting further away.

Being a member of the Celestial Strategy Mansion inherently involves facing risks, and hadn’t they accompanied you on missions before?

Additionally, this time it’s not about an external force but an Anomaly Realm; their Authority Ability will have a role to play. Wu You’s Heart Sound Reflection is unaffected by emotions, providing a correct answer in some sense, and Panqiu’s Cloud Ascension can also be exceptionally useful in specific situations."
