You don't have to be so serious, though. What do you mean by me being more valuable than the pearls?" I said and shrugged my shoulders, walking away from him, only for him to wrap his arms around me from behind.
"What are you doing?" I asked, trying to free myself from his tight grip.
"Stay still, Hua. Just stay still for a minute," he said with a pleading voice, his arms still wrapped around me and his warm breath on my neck.
"Stop, please. You're disrespecting me by doing this. Maintain an appropriate distance, please," I cautioned sternly, but there was only awkward silence from him.
"Are you listening to me?" I asked with anger in my voice, still trying to free myself from his grip.
"Do you know who saved you and Feifei at the inn before coming to Mount Hua Sect? Do you know who owns the pavilion where you stayed and got drunk before the second trial of becoming a disciple?" asked Yu Ming, his arms still wrapped around me.
