Gu Jin observed carefully and found that An Mingji was not injured, the red in his eyes gradually fading, and only then did her expression return to normal.

"You’re just a kid, if you’re bullied, let me know. Why go on your own? What if you get hurt? Even getting a sty can be a big or small deal, leading to many aftereffects."

It’s not just about getting a sty, okay?

An Mingji grumbled inwardly.

He stared at Gu Jin’s eyes, his demeanor relaxed a bit, and spoke again, "Ah Jin, I almost killed An Guoliang."

"I know, you just said that." Gu Jin sat beside him, "Did he upset you or bully you? Why do you want to kill him? Don’t you know that punishing someone by killing them is a relief, but making their life worse than death is the ultimate punishment?"

Facing the boy’s surprised gaze, she continued, "I’m not against your thoughts, I just don’t want you to taint your hands for unimportant people."

An Mingji gazed deeply at the earnest Gu Jin in front of him.

Suddenly, a charming smile as gentle as the spring breeze appeared on his lips.

Ah Jin was so good to him, making him feel that even if he did something excessive, she would still stand behind him and support him unconditionally.

Gu Jin felt slightly moved by the boy’s smile.

The words at her lips paused, and she glanced at him sideways, smiling ambiguously, "You’re such a troublemaker!"

After speaking, she reached out and poked the boy’s head.

In truth, Gu Jin wasn’t shocked by An Mingji’s inherent ferocity.

In their past life, he reached such high positions, wielding power, stained by blood, stepping over corpses, tens of thousands of which are conservative estimates.

Being ruthless was the rule of the position he held.

In this life, she understood that An Mingji still had that ferocity and bloodlust in him, but she didn’t want to trouble him to personally intervene and stain his hands with blood.

She wanted him to know that even without bloodstains, one could still torment someone, making their life so unbearable that they could neither live nor die peacefully.

She possessed the Ancient Technique of Heaven Defying, knowing that killing would reduce one’s lifespan.

Even if An Mingji cultivated and extended his life, she didn’t want him to squander even a second of his lifespan for unimportant people.

An Mingji held Gu Jin’s hand and said helplessly, "Ah Jin, you’re going to spoil me."

Even if I commit murder, you take it for granted and even consider my perspective, you’re truly going to spoil me.

This might even unleash the caged beast in my heart, leading me to do unimaginable things to you.

Gu Jin didn’t notice the boy’s unease; she squinted her eyes with a smile, "Spoil you then."

An Mingji pursed his lips, but there was a hint of laughter in his voice, "You’re really headstrong."

As soon as he said that, his nose was pinched.

Gu Jin pinched his nose and chided, "Even if you cause big trouble, I stand behind you, but there’s a premise: prioritize your safety. I hope no matter what you do, you won’t get hurt."

"I understand."

An Mingji’s face softened, a charming smile gracing his lips.

He leaned closer to Gu Jin, gently kissing her forehead, his voice tender, "Ah Jin, I will take care of myself, and you should too."

Initially feeling that being kissed was inappropriate, Gu Jin’s minor discomfort disappeared after hearing the boy’s words.

She reached out and patted An Mingji’s head, "We will both take care of ourselves."
