Chapter 262: 261 ‘Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke. Chapter 262: 261 ‘Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke. Without a doubt, Jiasinta was utterly confused.
And it was the kind of confusion that was thoroughly bewildering.
Not just Jiasinta, but Jesse and Lis too were so shocked by the scene before their eyes, they stood frozen in place like they had been petrified, their faces filled with astonishment and befuddlement.
Jiasinta pointed at Ai Yi, trembling with disbelief and continually stumbling over the word “Master,” but couldn’t manage to say anything more.
Shane blinked, his expression one of confusion.
As for Ai Yi, she glanced at Jiasinta, then at her hand being held by Shane, and after a long silence, she finally shifted her gaze back to Jiasinta.
Her eyes were filled with indifference and warning.
Jiasinta instantly shuddered as if understanding something and dared not speak anymore.
On the contrary, Shane, seeing Jiasinta staring intently at Ai Yi, asked curiously,
“How is it? Do you know each other?”
That was what Jiasinta wanted to retort.
Even if every member of the Demon Clan in the whole world died off, he could never fail to recognize this particular individual.
It was precisely because of this that he felt stunned, shocked.
Why would the master be here?
Why would the favorite of Princess Luosilusti be here?
Why would this person be holding the master’s hand?
What am I supposed to do?
Jiasinta’s mind gradually sank into chaos .
And if Jiasinta was , not to mention Jesse and Lis.
The twin Demon Clansmen, who were already not very fond of Shane, were now looking at Ai Yi being obediently led by the hand by Shane and were completely disoriented.
They both tried to say something with hoarse voices, but couldn’t produce a complete sentence for a long time.
The situation made Shane really want to taunt them.
“Is there something wrong with the vocal cords of the Demon Clan’s people that you can’t even speak a complete sentence?”
This was just unbelievable.
Of course, from the performance of these three people, Shane realized something.
They definitely knew Ai Yi.
And they knew her true identity at that.
(Sure enough, this little girl is…)
Shane glanced at Ai Yi, who was expressionless and holding his hand, feeling torn inside.
It was confirmed, she was one of the most powerful big shots, and also part of a group of formidable beings he couldn’t afford to mess with.
This put Shane under a lot of pressure.
Knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing.
At least, wanting to tease this loli again in the future, knowing how formidable she was, he would certainly hesitate.
This was undoubtedly a very frustrating matter.
Therefore, Shane let go of Ai Yi’s hand.
Then…the next second he scooped the girl up in his arms.
Jiasinta’s eyes bulged, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of water violently, as if he were choked by the shock.
Jesse and Lis nearly collapsed to the ground, legs going weak, their faces full of horror.
But this time, it was Ai Yi’s turn to be bewildered.
“What are you doing?”
Ai Yi turned her head, looking at Shane in surprise.
Holding the soft little girl in his arms, Shane remained calm.
“Nothing much, just that it seems like you all have quite a lot on your minds and can hardly speak. I need to find a comfortable position to watch you continue your performance.”
As these words fell, the room fell into total silence.
Jiasinta, Jesse, and Lis twitched at the corners of their mouths, lapsing into a silent spell.
Ai Yi also twitched at the corner of her eye, really feeling an urge to smack Shane dead.
The four members of the Demon Clan just watched the only human present, their gazes shifting and changing.
Especially the three, Jiasinta, Jesse, and Lis, who finally looked at Shane as if really seeing a Hero.
Their expressions and gazes perfectly conveyed one thing.
“Do you realize you’ve done something freaking awesome?”
Actually, Shane really had done just that.
Knowing full well the terrifying background of the loli in his arms, how could Shane be unaware of how badass his current actions were?
But he didn’t want to do not-badass things anymore.
Besides, having done it, what now?
Just moments ago, feeling uneasy about the prospect of petting the loli, Shane was now thinking along these lines, all the while returning a beaming smile to Jiasinta.
“Lord Jiasinta, what brings you here?”
Shane asked with a look of great curiosity.
Jiasinta was silent, his gaze covertly flicking to Ai Yi, as if trying to decipher her attitude.
But Ai Yi said nothing, just helplessly being held by Shane, as if the affair had nothing to do with her, devoid of the happiness she had just shown.
Jiasinta, unaware of Ai Yi’s recently cheerful demeanor, and seeing her obediently being held by Shane without any resistance, finally changed his look towards Shane.
In that instant, Jiasinta confirmed it.
The very person his young master had claimed to be interested in before was this individual beside the Princess.
No, from his young master’s demeanor, it was clear she was more than just interested in this person.
At least, Jiasinta had never seen his young master being held in someone’s arms without resisting, acting as tame as a real child.
Jiasinta was consumed with thoughts, all of which he kept deep within his heart.
“I never expected to meet your grace here, quite a surprise indeed.”
Jiasinta took a deep breath, seemingly trying to smile, but perhaps due to the lingering shock in his heart, his smile seemed somewhat forced.
Shane, on the other hand, didn’t care.
Shane only cared about one thing.
“It looked like your lordship was searching for something just now?”
Shane smiled with curiosity shining brightly.
That look made Jiasinta’s skin twitch again.
For he knew that Shane definitely wanted to get some information out of him.
After all, it was because of this guy’s suggestion that the Princess had sealed off the surrounding area of the Royal Capital, which had caused some hindrance to their actions.
So, Jiasinta knew, this person was not as simple as he appeared to be, quite a tough nut to crack.
Of course, if it had been before, Shane’s trickiness wouldn’t have mattered to Jiasinta, he might have even found it interesting.
“What are you looking at me for?”
Seeing Jiasinta’s gaze shift back to her again, Ai Yi, held in Shane’s arms, spoke with impatience.
“I’m talking to you, speak.”
Her tone was such that Jiasinta felt he might as well kneel down and honestly answer Shane’s question.
Jiasinta couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Now, his own position was set in stone.
Is his master badass?
Of course, definitely one of the most badass people out there.
If his badass master was behaving so tamely, wouldn’t that make Shane even more badass?
“Untouchable, truly untouchable.”
Jiasinta affirmed this belief.
