Yet Little White Dragon had only just helped Zhu Bajie over when Zhu Bajie broke free of him. Once again, faster than thunder could reach the ear, he seized Guanyin's hand and dropped to his knees right before her.

Nearly all the monsters watching the whole scene spat out mouthfuls of tea.
"Haha! Silver Horn, you... you're really forcing it! Who... who confesses like that?"
"That confession was way too sudden, way
