When Yan Xi heard this, she zipped her mouth shut. After a while, she could not help but say softly, "I'm actually quite obedient."
If sitting on his lap, squirming, and biting his lips was considered obediently, then she indeed was.
"Do you even know what you are talking about?" Although his words were harsh, his tone was gentle. "There's a sandalwood box in my room. Bring it over."
Sandalwood box sounded like something good. Yan Xi ran over to bring it over and placed it on Gu Shen's lap.
The color of the box was very deep, and the fragrance that uniquely belonged to wood floated over. Yan Xi stared curiously and realized that inside was actually a Protective Talisman.
"Come here." Gu Shen took out the Protective Talisman and signaled Yan Xi to come closer. He then hung the Protective Talisman with the red string on her fair neck.
He did not believe in heaven, nor did he believe in fate, nor did he believe in ghosts or deities.
