Zu An’s Entangling Feathersilk Art had started off slightly unpolished. However, the longer the fight went on, the smoother and easier it was to execute.
After close to a hundred moves, Zu An finally fashioned an opening, and twisted Zheng Dan’s arm behind her back.
Zheng Dan didn’t have the courage to pop her own arm out of its socket, like Zu An had done in his fight against Pei Mianman. Her face grew horrified, and she kicked out backwards, her foot lashing out like a tail.
There was no way Zu An would give her the chance. He grabbed her leg and shoved her forward.
Zheng Dan finally lost her center of gravity while in mid-air, and she found herself pressed up against the wall in front of her.
Zu An locked her body firmly in place with his, not letting her move an inch. He leaned in close to her ear and said triumphantly, “So? Do you admit defeat?”
“I don’t! You only seized the advantage through a sneak attack!” Zheng Dan said angrily while biting her lips.
If he hadn’t tricked her at the start, she wouldn’t have been captured, no matter how strong his technique was.
“You were clearly the one who made the first move. How can you blame me for launching a sneak attack?” Zu An said with a smile.
“You’re shameless! Why didn’t you use this technique from the beginning? You just had to pretend like you didn’t know anything, which caused me to drop my guard!” Zheng Dan struggled, but all of her key joints were restricted. She couldn’t move at all.
That was, unless she used elemental ki.
However, using her elemental ki in such a place would easily draw unwanted attention, and would only make things even more troublesome.
She decided to give up on her struggling, and use this chance to see if she could learn anything from him now.
“It’s my fault for having a natural soft spot for girls. I was worried about hurting you, so I didn’t go too hard on you at first. How was I supposed to know that you would go all out from the start?” Zu An could still feel his back complaining. Those throws of hers really had been fierce!
Zheng Dan bit her lip. “What is this unarmed technique of yours called? It seems pretty formidable. Can you teach it to me?”
If she could obtain the name of this technique, then the Sang clan could easily look into it.
Pei Mianman’s warning was fresh in Zu An’s mind. “Sorry, no can do,” he said with a smile.
“Our relationship has already grown so close, and yet you still can’t teach it to me? Are you in a tight spot because you need to keep this a secret?” Zheng Dan probed tentatively.
Zu An’s eyes narrowed. This woman really is up to something. She’s still trying to gather intelligence on the experts backing me.
If he hadn’t been on guard right from the start, he might have just spilled everything out to her.
“You really are a cunning person. You’re even hiding a sword inside your clothes! Are you secretly plotting against someone?” Zheng Dan snickered.
“Sword?” Zu An was stunned. He lowered his head to take a look, and his expression grew bizarre.
Zheng Dan felt a shudder run through her entire body. She too had realized what was actually going on. Her entire face flushed a bright red.
Feeling her terrifically supple body, Zu An had to admit that this woman really was top-notch.
“Get off me!” Even Zheng Dan’s ears had gone completely red.
Even though she looked like she was angry, Zu An didn’t receive any Rage points.
This woman is still putting on an act!
Not only did he not let go, he instead pressed up against her even harder. She felt his warm breath right next to her ear. “But I don’t want to let go,” he breathed. “Wasn’t this how I examined your leg the last time?”
As he said this, she felt a hand caress her thigh.
