Azure Lotus Supreme said coolly, "I let you speak on the condition that you'd make your requests. Why are you all squabbling? You've lost all decorum."
"Master, may I make my request now?"
"I'll go first."
"Let me go first. I've thought of a real doozy."

"Exactly. We'd have to worry even while taking a bath."
Lu Yin ignored their chatter and looked at
