Leng Xuan nodded earnestly, without a trace of hesitation. Dare he refuse? He was certain that if he uttered a single "no," heaven knows what methods Li Mengjie would resort to in dealing with him. As the saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances." As long as he could avoid Li Mengjie's outburst, climbing mountains of swords or plunging into seas of flames would be no issue at all.

Li Mengjie was very satisfied with Leng Xuan's attitude and nodded with a smile, saying, "Very good, I had already prepared some threats. But since you're so understanding, it saved Miss Li quite a bit of talking."

Leng Xuan replied with a flattering smile, "Miss Li's orders are naturally my commands. May I know what task you would set me on? As long as it's not too difficult, I'll surely complete it."
