Fan Lunnuo's explanation sounded plausible enough, but was it really appropriate for a Proxy of a subordinate god to put it that way?
Tai Yu was still pondering this when Fan Lunnuo, without rising, merely turned sideways in his cushioned chair, revealing his face for the first time and smiling at Tai Yu.
What appeared before Tai Yu was a huge single eye.
It stood vertically from his forehead down to where an ordinary person's nose would be, as though a massive slit had been torn open in a human face. His mouth had also been squeezed into an inverted triangle.
His teeth were blood-red, the upper and lower rows completely seamless. They looked especially horrifying when he smiled.
Tai Yu had been mentally prepared and did not change expression.
Compared to that, what came next from across the room carried far more weight:
"No one can guess where the other gods stand regarding Luande. But His Highness the Cloud Wing King... if Great Monarch Tai Yu can complete one task for His Highness, then His Highness's vote will be yours."
You were deciding the disposition of the Cloud Wing King's Council of Gods vote on His behalf?
Tai Yu's eyelid twitched. He then swept his gaze around the room. Yu Chuang and Qiao Mian gave nothing away, while the expression on Great Monarch Suo Che's furry face plainly said, "Here we go again."
So this kind of "promise" was not the first of its kind?
Did the Cloud Wing King know? Had the Myriad Gods Hall and the Abyssal Spirit Net not thrown you into the Boundary Curtain's primary star?
Tai Yu understood something, yet did not hesitate. Turning to Fan Lunnuo's ugly face, he asked, "May I have the honor of hearing the Cloud Wing King's divine decree?"
