Xinghe curled her lips into a smile. "A reward like getting Xi Empire to rescind its lawsuit against you."
"For real?" Ye Shen was startled.
"That depends on your cooperation and whether I'm satisfied with your answer or not."
"I will cooperate one hundred percent! I will answer every single question you ask!" For the sake of freedom, Ye Shen could promise even his life. He didn't want to spend his whole life in jail, being shared like a piece of meat. No secret was more important than that.
Ye Shen's emotions were a complicated mess.
This woman before him, who he once treated as something less than a pet dog, was riding over his head. She even managed to wrap Xi Mubai around her finger…
Just how did she do it? If he had known she would one day rise to this height, he wouldn't have treated her so badly before.
Words from the author: I admit there is a sudden jump in the writing but please know that it might not be what you think it is. The focus of this story is still the face-slapping. I admit this might be hard for some of you to swallow but I have already tried my best to keep this interesting without getting repetitious. I hope you will keep on supporting me because the overall tone of this story doesn't really change but I understand if you don't. /cries~
Words from the translator: This chapter is where most people told me where they decided to drop this. I understand and respect your decision but please try not to write, 'I'm dropping this' or something of that fashion in the comments because it really decreases my drive :(
