The little Fox Spirit's eyes wandered from the Sovereign Lord's obviously displeased appearance to Her Ladyship's delighted one and felt at a loss. 'What should I say? Her Ladyship wants to know, but His Lordship seems furious. Should I concoct an elaborate, convincing lie?'
"Yes…?" Finally, Bai Yu's answer came out in the form of a question.
