Jiang Ruyi's gaze enveloped the pair as she descended slowly from the sky.
"Take action, Brave," Wan Fangling whispered, lightly nudging her husband with her elbow before taking the lead in kneeling.
Shi Yong hesitated for a moment before lowering his head and obediently falling to his knees.
Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly.

Jiang Ruyi felt displeasure welling up inside her.
The pair were respected figures in the Vast River, revered and protectors of their own domains. Even as prisoners, shouldn't they retain their pride and integrity?
Such behavior—what a disgrace!
Being herself a person of the River Realm, Jiang Ruyi now felt ashamed to be associated with these two.
Silence blanketed the desolate land.
With the battle over, only the sound of wind stirring up sand echoed across the barren desert.
