Shijia exhaled deeply, finally letting go of Ye Qing's hand this time.
As soon as he released it, Ye Qing immediately cursed, "You baldy, how dare you trick me!"
"Shush, shush, shush..." Shijia quickly made a series of quiet gestures towards Ye Qing, awkwardly saying, "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, let me explain to you!"
"Explain what?" Ye Qing glared, "You clearly used me as a shield, what more explanation do you have?"
"Aren't you unharmed, not even losing a strand of hair?" Shijia said, "I had my reasons for doing so. If I didn't know the Devouring Demon Flowers wouldn't hurt you, I wouldn't have treated you like this. I knew you would be fine, that's why I did it. I certainly wouldn't use you to take risks."
