Lu Yuan let go of Gongyue Monarch, only to spin around and threaten him with the dagger again. "You're sure you didn't see anything?"
Gongyue Monarch bowed low, cupping his fist. "Master, I swear I didn't! I didn't see a thing!"
"That's good, then." Lu Yuan put away the dagger and nodded.
Gongyue Monarch sidled up to Lu Yuan's ear and whispered, "Was Master, by any chance, you know... *heh heh heh*... with the mistress just now?"
Seeing Gongyue Monarch's lecherous expression, Lu Yuan was so annoyed he could grind his teeth. He pointed a finger right in his face and said, "I never should have saved you!"
"Oh, come on, Master! Isn't it nice having me around?" Gongyue Monarch said with a laugh. Unaffected by the Evil Qi, he was quite the mischievous old codger.
"Master, you're in the Celestial Monarch Realm now. That's way stronger than the old Daoist I ran into a few days ago," Gongyue Monarch said as he floated around Lu Yuan.
