Yanxi did not expect Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian to be so terrified of death.
Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian began to beg, even getting on his knees before Yanxi.
The soldiers were furious.
"Stand up! You are a prince of the Heavenly King Country! How can you act like this?"
"Prince, by acting this way, aren’t you discarding all the dignity of the Human Clan?"
"You mustn’t do this!"
Even the few soldiers closest to Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian frowned. They said nothing, but inwardly, they too looked down on him.
Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian ignored what others thought. He coughed a few times and said, "Let me go. Please, let me go."
He knew that if he were captured, he would surely die. When the Dog Clan attacked to reclaim their territory, he, Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian, would become their hostage.
But Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian knew his father. When the time came, Xiao Shimin would surely not hesitate to kill his own son rather than lose the kingdom’s rivers and mountains.
Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian did not want to die like this. He still had to make Ye Qingxian understand his true feelings for her.
"Begging me?" Yanxi was taken aback. He had heard that throughout history, during the many great wars between the Human and Beast Clans, there were always some humans who would abandon their dignity and kneel before beasts.
He could not believe he was finally witnessing it himself, and from a prince of a Three-Star kingdom, no less.
"Hmm?" Yanxi’s lips curled into a smirk as an idea came to him. "Bark like a dog. If it sounds pleasant, loud, and realistic, I might consider letting you go."
"Really?" Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian’s eyes lit up.
Yanxi nodded.
Yuwen Nuo was enraged. He rounded on Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian, shouting, "Are you even a man? Why are you barking? Get up!"
"Stand up!"
"Reclaim the dignity of the Human Clan!"
The soldiers shouted one after another.
"COUGH... COUGH... COUGH..." Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian coughed up blood, gritting his teeth as he yelled, "What do you know? You don’t understand my position, so don’t you dare judge me!"
He understands? What could he possibly understand?
Yuwen Nuo and the others clenched their fists, the veins on their arms bulging.
Ignoring them, Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian turned to Yanxi and began to bark. "WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!"
The sound was sharp and clear, truly resembling a dog’s bark. The dog-men on the other side nodded, clearly finding his performance quite convincing.
"So lifelike," Yanxi laughed. "If I couldn’t see you were human, I’d really think you were a dog."
"This..." What could Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian say? He could only manage an awkward, "Thank you for the praise, Prince... So... so can I go now?"
"Did I say I would let you go?" Yanxi shook his head, refusing.
"You..." So enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood, Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian stammered, "How can you go back on your word? Are you even human?"
"Am I human?" Yanxi laughed as if he had just heard the funniest joke.
"You... I... COUGH... COUGH... COUGH..." Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian was seething. Had he abandoned all his dignity for this?
The shock made him cough up more blood. He could not even stand, and with no one willing to support him, he collapsed onto the road.
He could not accept it; he really did not want to die. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian immediately gritted his teeth and mustered the last of his strength to speak. "Wait! Him... we still have him here. Yanxi, didn’t you say you were powerful? If you can kill him, I’ll bark for you again."
Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian’s hand was pointed at Wu Tian. He wanted to provoke Yanxi into killing him.
A person like this is either genuinely skilled... or just a pretender with no substance!
