After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

Seeing his silly look, Bai Jiyue laughed.

She went inside, took the half-eaten piece of cooked pig liver that she had saved for the little mouse, and handed it to the boy: "Eat it."

The boy looked at her suspiciously.

Bai Jiyue understood that he was worried there was something wrong with the food, so she took a bite herself and handed it back to him.

The boy immediately began to wolf down the pig liver.

The little mouse appeared out of nowhere, crawled to Bai Jiyue's feet, and gently nibbled at her shoe.

Bai Jiyue lowered its head, and the dog looked up at her, squeaking.

Bai Jiyue immediately coaxed, "Let him eat it first, and I'll buy you something better later. I'll take you there, and you can choose for yourself."

Sure enough, she coaxed the little mouse, and it happily crawled into her sleeve pocket.

The boy paid no attention to the interaction between the mouse and Bai Jiyue; he was focused on gnawing on pig liver, which showed how hungry he was.

He quickly finished half a piece of pig liver, then looked up at Bai Jiyue and said, "I'm full, I'm not afraid of death, do whatever you want with me!"

Bai Jiyue chuckled: "If I wanted to kill you, why would I give you food?"

"Then what are you going to do?" he said, becoming wary. "Don't even think about taking over my house! Unless you kill me, I'll make sure you never have a moment's peace!"

Seeing him grit his teeth, Bai Jiyue felt both amused and sorry for him.

If it weren't for the unexpected turn of events, a child this age wouldn't have learned to be so aggressive and ready to fight at any moment.

“I love listening to stories, and I’d like to hear yours,” she replied with a smile.

The boy suddenly fell silent, and slowly lowered his head.

Bai Jiyue waited for a while, and seeing that he still didn't speak, she figured that recalling this matter would probably make him very sad, so she decided not to ask anymore.

But then, the boy suddenly looked up, his face streaked with tears: "My father is a capable man..."

Time passed slowly as the boy narrated, and the sky gradually turned a pale white.

From the boy's story, Bai Jiyue learned that the boy's name was Song Xi, and his father, Song Gui, was a businessman. He was very shrewd in business and started by selling the unique Yue Nan flower tea from his hometown. He gradually expanded his business and eventually took it to the capital.

Later, by chance, Song Gui met Liang Fu, the chief eunuch of the emperor. Liang Fu had secretly bought a house and married a wife. Taking advantage of this, Song Gui flattered him and sent his own nanmu flower tea into the palace, thus gaining the opportunity for the Empress Dowager to taste it.

The Empress Dowager liked it very much after tasting it, and from then on, Song Gui was qualified to supply the palace with nanmu flower tea.

"I remember Liang Fu was convicted and hanged himself in prison a few years ago?" Bai Jiyue asked the boy.

When Liang Fu was convicted, the original owner's family was still in the capital. She remembered that it seemed that Bai Shousheng got into trouble a few months after Liang Fu was convicted.

The boy nodded: "That's right. Before he died, my father tried to visit him in prison once. He entrusted his wife, whom he had married outside, to my father's care, and my father brought that woman back home."

"But not long after, one night, many masked men in black suddenly came to our house and killed my parents, my sister, and Liang Fu's wife."

"That night I was playing around and had my servant pretend to be me sleeping in my room while I secretly went out to catch crickets. When I got home, I saw men in black counting corpses. They mistook my servant for me, which is how I escaped."

As he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth so hard they clicked.
