But with matters having reached this point, Jieyin naturally had no time to settle anything with Gu Changqing.
That drunkard, that lunatic!
Everything else could wait until today's affair was over!
What mattered most now was the female Sage before him, whose wrath had truly been kindled.
Shock and anger filled Jieyin's heart, but greater still were his frustration and helplessness. He looked at Nuwa, his expression wavering with uncertainty, and forced himself to ask.
"Senior Sister Nuwa..."
"How... how exactly do you want to settle this?"
