"I... I..."
Du Yao was very flustered, speaking incoherently, "Xiao... Grand Elder Xiao, I... I'm afraid!"
"What is there to be afraid of? I'm not going to eat you. Hmm, no, you're my exclusive angel, you have to listen to me, whatever I tell you to do, you should do it."
Xiao Mu, unconcerned, looked down at Du Yao, instructing, "Now, I'm going to give you an order. First, raise your head and look at me."
"Ah~"
Du Yao was suddenly startled and instead lowered her head, retreating in panic.
"Stop!"
Xiao Mu suddenly shouted. This shout shocked Du Yao, and she quickly stopped, even causing her previously leaning body to abruptly freeze.
"Alright, now, listen to my instructions, raise your head."
Xiao Mu softened his voice as much as possible.
Du Yao finally raised her head slowly, but her body was trembling slightly, looking extremely uneasy.
"You're a little scared, relax, relax! Take a deep breath, one, two, three, deep breath." Xiao Mu softly soothed her.
