The Blood Sea Rebel King patted his box, and evils shaped like tables, chairs, and stools flew out.
There was also an evil like a great umbrella, suspended overhead, with many gemlike eyes blinking beneath its canopy.
He clapped, and more evils crawled out from his waist, landing in alluring poses, singing and dancing while constantly casting flirtatious glances at Wang Quan.
Unlike Mei Niang, Wang Quan could not bear to look directly at all those evils. Instead, he looked at the Blood Sea Rebel King. "Tell me, why did you lead an army here to fight outside the safe zone?"
