"Stop talking nonsense and come back here!" As she spoke, Houtu glanced at the seat beside her.
Gungun: "???"
How was I talking nonsense? Everything I said was the honest truth.
"It's all right. Ancestral Witch, please don't blame Fellow Daoist Gungun. I can feel the sincerity in his words." Ao Yue, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and spoke to Houtu.
