"No need," Shen Nianzu's refusal came out in a curt and cold tone.
However, Shang continued to assess Jin Jiuchi with intrigue as if he hadn't detected the faint hostility in the little jade doll's response. "He looks like he can't move at all right now," he observed.
Shen Nianzu felt a surge of irritation at the way the man couldn't seem to tear his gaze away from Jin Jiuchi. Although he had often cursed Jin Jiuchi both inside his heart and right in front of the man's face and even questioned once in a while why he had ended up with this perverted husky, at the end of the day, Jin Jiuchi was his! Shen Nianzu's! No one was allowed to covet him or take him away!
Feeling an abrupt sense of crisis, Shen Nianzu instinctively moved to position himself in front of Jin Jiuchi's body to block him from Shang's sight, but alas, his small body and weak presence might as well be a transparent shield. And so, he pulled Gu Luoxin over to help him as well.
