Yeah, yeah, sure.
I, Jiang Yao, am a model Aeon in every respect.
I always treat people kindly (the imprisoned Swarm Emperor: only people, though. Everything else is fair game).
If anyone picks on me, I eat them right back, on the spot.
Unless I can't beat them.
But I definitely hold a grudge.

There were only ten Entwined Fates.
How were they supposed to share those?
