869 Explanation

King An was like an innocent citizen who had been captured by a devil. In his eyes, everyone in front of him was a monster, and even the gentle-looking Chu Nanping seemed capable of eating him alive.

And then there was the Dragon King. This was the first time that King An had ever seen the man who had taken his country as well as his throne away from him. The horror in him clouded his judgement, and he failed to see the signs that signaled his favorable situation, like the fact that there was no murderous intent or anger in the Dragon King's face.

"Don't… Don't kill me. I surrender to the Dragon King. And I'll abdicate the throne and become a commoner." King An had meant to talk while kneeling, but his legs were so limp that he could only sit on the ground, desperately petitioning for his own life.
