Trembling and scared?
The celestial fox spirit wasn't convinced at all. From what he knows from the manhua, Shen Yuan wouldn't be begging while trembling. The original Shen Yuan is someone cold-hearted enough to bombard a dungeon gate with a powerful mana bomb for the sake of trapping Bai Tingfeng and Lei Jireh in that other dimension. In that story arc, Bai Tingfeng and Lei Jireh were attacked by some members of the terrorist group Cardinals over some dungeon artifact.
Of course, that plan ultimately failed because Chairman Mao Huanlong was there to stop it all from happening, and he was also the one to sweep it under the rug so that Shen Yuan wouldn't end up in jail.
But the bottom line is that someone who could make that heartless and drastic decision wouldn't act hopelessly and beg. Besides, based on what he could hear from Bai Tingfeng and others, Shen Yuan remained steadfast in acting as a cold-hearted bitch until he perished and his body became hollow to be his vessel.
