Li Qiong truly hadn't expected Li Ji to kneel so quickly.
And looking at Li Ji's expression, he showed no sign of humiliation or anger from kneeling. It was as if the act meant nothing to him at all.
It made Li Qiong feel the stifling frustration of punching a bale of cotton—deeply unsatisfying.
Li Ji urged, "Is this good enough? Let me see Manman now."
Li Qiong's expression was grim.
"You're just going through the motions."
Li Ji found this baffling. "You told me to kneel, so I knelt. You told me to kowtow, so I kowtowed. How am I going through the motions?"
Li Qiong was speechless.
He had deliberately made Li Ji kneel and kowtow before everyone to viciously humiliate him, to crush his dignity underfoot. It was to prove to the world that the legendary, invincible Regent King was nothing special after all.
But now, Li Ji didn't look the least bit humiliated!
Li Qiong was furious!
