Chapter 869: Don't Get the Wrong Idea!
Yun Xiao's eyes were cold and deep as he looked at the slightly flushed, panicked yet undeniably graceful face before him. He and Shen Nanyin were alone together, with no one to save her.
In a shameful posture, Shen Nanyin knelt straddling before Yun Xiao, her hands raised high over her shoulders, bound to her feet.
The battle armor before her lifted high, as if offering a precious treasure to Yun Xiao.
Her jade-like nose stood high and proud, her pupils trembling as she gazed at this white-robed youth. Though he seemed like a child to her, his intensely aggressive eyes threw Shen Nanyin's heart into disarray.
"I am the Young Dragon Consort of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, noble and pure, and he is a lowly celestial slave. Even if he can't truly defile me, if he goes mad, he can still humiliate me!"
Though arrogant, Shen Nanyin was not without reason. Yun Xiao had directly killed Lei Ting and the others—a reckless desperado who cared nothing for consequences. The barefoot feared no one in shoes. For someone of her noble stature, even if his life were offered up ten times over, it still wouldn't equal one of her!
Thinking of this, Shen Nanyin drew upon the qualities honed from being frequently mistreated by the Young Dragon Lord—flexible and adaptable. She quickly shed her previous arrogance and haughtiness, her eyes filling with tears, appearing pitiful and touching as she said to Yun Xiao, "I admit your combat prowess and talent are astonishing. You're definitely among the top here in the Grand Assembly Arena. I truly underestimated you before and was disrespectful. I'm sincerely sorry!"
Yun Xiao stood before her, reaching out to tap the violently trembling curve of her battle armor, producing a thumping sound. He looked at Shen Nanyin's proud, high nose and asked with a smile, "You've insulted me so many times, and now with a few kind words, you expect me to let you go? Isn't that a bit naive?"
"I was wrong!" Shen Nanyin, true to her training under the Young Dragon Lord, was wildly arrogant when rampant and thoroughly meek when cowed. She stared at Yun Xiao's hand—that hand made her fearful. If they were alone, it might be fine; no matter how audacious a celestial slave was, he couldn't truly cost her anything.
