It was remarkable how quick blood drained off Liu Chengjiu's face.
Panic-stricken, he dropped to his knees again.
"This servant didn't mean to deceive the Heavenly Emperor! This servant...!"
Xie Jianyu shook his head slightly as he attempted to pull Liu Chengjiu to his feet again, but this time the omega wolf was determined to kneel to death.
"Please, Your Highness!" He begged pitifully. "Please do not report this matter to the Golden Dragon Palace. If you must, I am willing to take all that blame!"
"Oh, shush."
Xie Jianyu gently patted Liu Chengjiu on the back.
"Why would you pile an unbelievable lie on top of the severe deception? Aren't you afraid of being cut into a thousand pieces?"
Liu Chengjiu lifted his head and gave Xie Jianyu a miserable look.
"Everyone will die eventually. The manner of death is inconsequential."
"..."
Xie Jianyu sighed.
"I am sorry for giving you a scare. Rest assured, I will not say anything to His Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"
