The Guileless Kui Niu

"Kui Niu thanks Your Majesty. Here, I offer Your Majesty a grand salute."

That guileless, thickheaded fellow Kui Niu was about to casually kneel and perform a grand salute to Chen Cheng, but Chen Cheng hurriedly helped him up.

"Really? Bu Jiu and Sinister are always teasing me about this, saying I don't understand etiquette.
