"Yeah. That's part of the reason. I need to be prepared to answer their questions when I go back to them," Long Chen told the Snake Monarch as he laid down, gazing at the clouded sky. He found this place to be a bit relaxing.
"How about you just tell them that the idiot deserved it?" the Snake Monarch suggested.
"Sigh, I wish problems were that easy to solve. But yeah, Mingyu's father will be a mess after knowing his son is dead. As for believing me that he wanted to kill his sister, I think he would rather die than believe that," Long Chen told the little snake that was swimming in the cold water in her compact form.
"I sure am glad to not be in your place. Your life seems pretty complicated," the Snake Monarch said before he stopped talking.
"Complicated, huh. I guess you're right. There are some things that are pretty crazy. At Least Mingyu is safe now that Lu Wang is dead," Long Chen agreed.
