"Now you know you've messed with the wrong person, huh?"
Zhuge Yun looked somewhat gleeful.
Of all the people that monkey could have picked on, why Third Brother?
He really didn't know whether to say the monkey had good taste,

"Let's leave it at that."
He'd already retaliated.
As far as he was concerned, the matter was settled.
He'd startled
