"River God Senior, I'm sorry. I was wrong. We know we were wrong."
"Please, for the sake of this being our first offense, spare us."
"We're useful. We're very useful. Please rest assured, we'll definitely make the most of our value. If we don't, you may deal with us however you wish. We won't complain."
'Hongjun' kept his head lowered, his voice sincere and respectful, with measured rises and falls filled with emotion. There was no sign of anger or humiliation at all from Tang Xuan's mistreatment. Instead, he became even more obsequious and meek.
He had even knelt down. All that was missing was pressing his forehead to the ground and prostrating himself completely.
It was as if he were silently saying that he truly wanted to improve, and that he truly wanted to live.
"Raise your head! Raise your head!"
Tang Xuan lowered his eyes and said coldly.
'Hongjun' had no complaints and obediently raised his head.
Well, if he were a woman, this scene would have fit perfectly. But considering that he was a man, Tang Xuan's brows immediately furrowed slightly, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Especially since this fellow acted like a complete pushover, taking every blow without fighting back and every insult without answering. It made Tang Xuan lose interest.
"Not a single one of those powerhouses in the Primordial World is harmless. They're all old schemers, each one sinister, cunning, and shameless."
Tang Xuan sighed inwardly, shook his head, and told 'Hongjun' to get up.
"All right, River God Senior."
'Hongjun' immediately stood up, smoothly giving Tang Xuan a deep bow as he rose, as if the entire sequence of movements had always been meant to be performed that way.
"..."
Tang Xuan.
"..."
Chaos Demon Ape.
What could anyone say to that?
Flawless.
