"Cough cough... I didn't mean to do that."
Zhu Fei was incredibly embarrassed. He awkwardly released his hold and said something with a hint of guilt.
Yet in his heart, he relished the soft, tender warmth of Ji Xuanyue's foot he had just touched, having heard that Ji Xuanyue was the unique barefoot 'sprite' of the entire Xia State; now it seemed that the rumors were indeed true.
Seemingly having read Zhu Fei's thoughts, Ji Xuanyue's pretty face turned even redder.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with shame and anger, a mix of shock and irritation in her heart, when suddenly, taking advantage of Zhu Fei's momentary distraction, a white jade ribbon shot out from her bare foot, binding Zhu Fei in an instant.
Zhu Fei was startled and instinctively wanted to resist, but fortunately, he reacted in time. The trace of mana he had just mustered within was quickly retracted.
As a result, Zhu Fei was suddenly flung high into the air by Ji Xuanyue's white jade ribbon.
