Princess Manluo Sha struggled fiercely, but she couldn’t break free from Chen Xiao’s iron grip.

"Let... let go of me..." She frantically slapped Chen Xiao’s arm.

Her face was turning increasingly red.

As she teetered on the edge of suffocation, looking at Chen Xiao’s handsome, rebellious face, an electrifying sensation swept through every part of her body.

However, at that moment, Chen Xiao’s grip relaxed slightly.

She finally caught her breath.

Chen Xiao spoke calmly, "Although you have over a hundred people here, you know very well that they stand no chance against a Half-step Grandmaster. Even if they could, I’d kill you first."

"So, consider carefully whether you want to involve yourself in this matter."

With that, he tossed Princess Manluo Sha aside.

Princess Manluo Sha gasped for air.

Chen Xiao made sense. A Half-Step Grandmaster’s speed was incredibly fast, and their defense was high; ordinary light firearms couldn’t harm them fundamentally.

Only large-scale heavy weaponry could inflict some damage.

If she continued to fight Chen Xiao to the end, she wouldn’t fare well.

As a member of the Yin Country Royal Family, she had no need to risk her life with these people.

Thinking of this, she immediately showed respect, "Sir, can we let this matter go? We were rude earlier, and I apologize here!"

With that, she bowed deeply.

It’s undeniable that Princess Manluo Sha had an excellent figure, and when she bowed, Chen Xiao glimpsed a significant expanse of white. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The members of the Yin Country Royal Family are high-caste, and it’s well known that women of the high caste from Yin Country are beautiful and have a unique exotic charm for the People of Shenzhou.

However, Chen Xiao showed no interest, merely glancing at her and asking her to withdraw her men.

Reini was confused, "Princess, are you just going to let him go?"

Princess Manluo Sha replied coldly, "Your father is one of the Eight Great Generals of Yin Country, and he’s merely a Half-step Grandmaster. This young man is already a Half-step Grandmaster; consider the consequences of offending him yourself!"

With that, she coldly ordered, "Apologize!"

Reini was reluctant, "Princess..."

"Apologize!" Manluo Sha slapped him across the face, "I’m saving you here; if it weren’t for your father, I wouldn’t even bother with this matter!"

The burning pain on his face made Reini clench his fists; eventually, he gritted his teeth and apologized.

Only then did Manluo Sha look at Chen Xiao, "Sir, can this matter be put to rest now?"

"Not enough!" Chen Xiao shook his head.

"What more do you want?" Reini was furious, "I, Reini, am a noble of Yin Country, and my father is one of the Eight Great Generals of Yin Country. Apologizing to you commoners is already..."

Before he could finish, Chen Xiao had kicked and broken one of his legs.

Then, he kicked the other leg.

"Ah—" He knelt down in front of the father and daughter.

"You should apologize to them!"

Chen Xiao said coldly, "Kneel and apologize sincerely, or I won’t hesitate to break your other leg!"

Reini screamed, almost passing out from the pain. However, seeing Princess Manluo Sha’s indifference, he knew she wouldn’t stand up for him.

Thinking this, he took a deep breath, then bowed and apologized to the bullied father and daughter.

"Remember, my Shenzhou compatriots are not to be humiliated by the likes of you! Especially our retired warriors! If Yin Country’s people dare to bully my Shenzhou compatriots on the cruise ship again, I won’t be lenient!"

Chen Xiao warned, glaring at Princess Manluo Sha.

"No matter how noble your titles, don’t cross my bottom line!"

"Yes, sir!" Princess Manluo Sha quickly lowered her head.

Her heart was racing, filled with fear and a strange emotion.

Since childhood, her noble status made everyone around her exceedingly respectful and deferential. Chen Xiao’s assertiveness stirred something within her, leaving her curious about this mysterious young man.

Especially that odd sensation she felt near suffocation, a feeling she had never experienced in her twenty years...

Could it be she had some peculiar penchant?

Thinking this, her face flushed inexplicably.

"Alright, you can go now. Let’s stay out of each other’s way from now on," Chen Xiao said coldly, "I don’t want any interference during our time on the cruise ship."

"Rest assured, sir, I will ensure they won’t disturb you," Manluo Sha replied.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, "Make sure you handle it well."

After they walked away, the middle-aged man, injured all over, limped over with the little girl to apologize to Chen Xiao and his companions.

If not for Chen Xiao’s bravery, their situation today would have been dire.

Luo Qingli frowned, "These guys were too cruel, so ruthless."

Seeing the wounds on the father and daughter, she quickly took out the golden sore medicine to apply to their injuries.

This medicine, developed from a prescription Chen Xiao gave to Zhang Yaqing, had miraculous effects on external injuries. Soon, their wounds stopped bleeding, and the pain subsided.

"Thank you, thank you, young sir and ladies!" The middle-aged man expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

"You’re welcome; we’re all on the same side," Chen Xiao replied with a faint smile.

Subsequently, he checked their pulses, relieved to find they only had superficial injuries without any internal bleeding.

However, he quickly frowned, noticing something odd about the girl’s pulse. Considering it, he asked, "Brother, does this little girl have any discomfort, perhaps a blood-related disease?"
