Book 19: Chapter 4
“In that case…” said Ying.
Ying drew her long sword then walked toward the trembling young man. Daisy was just bluffing with empty threats before, but Ying was absolutely serious. The young man’s fingers twitched on the ground. Beads of sweat coursed down his forehead. In spite of that, he didn’t move his hands away. He bit down on his lip and closed his eyes.
“Don’t!! Sister Ying!!” Nona tightly hugged Ying around her waist and cried, “Sister Ying!! Please don’t! Please don’t hurt him! He’s not a bad person! He didn’t hurt us, and he doesn’t intend to hurt Dad. He just has a request for Dad. Please. Please take him to see Dad. With you there, Dad will be safe!!”
Liu Yue heaved a heavy breath. There was no way Ying would fall for coquettish pleas. If giving Ying a hug could resolve it, Vera wouldn’t be scared out of her wits. Ying was a very serious individual. It all fell apart the moment Ying got involved. Ying would never let somebody of unknown origins approach their dad unless he really did leave behind his arms.
Vera anxiously observed Ying. Frankly, she was afraid of the expressionless bodyguard since somebody expressionless and emotionless was practically without weakness. Vera couldn’t read her at all. She wasn’t close to the latter in the slightest. Ying rarely spent time around the four sisters. However, she was certain Nona’s coquettish act wasn’t remotely enough to dissuade Ying. They were at an impasse. Vera had no idea what to do and most definitely had no idea how to convince Ying. Luna, alone, would be easy to deal with, but Ying…
Ying blankly looked at Nona, who was hugging her around her waist. Nona blinked her pitiful eyes. Ying’s expression didn’t change. Ying didn’t make the next move, either. After a short moment, she slowly set down her sword. Her face was slightly flush. She went to touch Nona’s head, but she paused. Ying noticed that she had lost control of herself, so she quickly cleared her throat. She then turned to face the young boy and sternly instructed, “Remove your clothes.”
“What?”
“Remove your clothes.”
“Kyah!!”
