Taking a deep breath, Gold Star Taibai sniffed greedily at the lingering fragrance of wine in the air, his old face reflecting a flush of intoxication. What a delightful aroma!
Haotian stopped what he was doing and fell silent for a long while, his fists clenched tightly under the table.
What's gotten into Taibai today? Has he gone mad?
Normally he seems so cunning and sly, and his flattery would hit the spot so pleasingly. So why is he so argumentative and disruptive today? Seems a bit carried away!
Grinding his teeth, Haotian said sinisterly, "Haven't I drank enough, or what?"
"Sure! Sure!"
Recognizing something was off in Haotian's tone, Gold Star Taibai also realized he had been too carried away. He shrank his neck and zipped back to his former position as quick as lightning.
With a full-faced grin, he said, "Everything Your Majesty says is absolute truth!"
Haotian: "..."
Why did it feel like mockery listening to Taibai after his flattery, no matter what he said?
