Chapter 339 - 340 He is Not at All a Vanguard
Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk exchanged glances.
They had not expected that the Lady of the Golden Holy Palace would be such a good actress, drinking and laughing with Sai Taisui, continuously toasting to him until he was completely bewildered and almost lost his bearings.
After a few drinks, Sai Taisui became even happier and couldn’t help himself, he stretched out a furry paw towards the Lady’s delicate hand, but no sooner had he touched her than he suddenly screamed in pain and darted to one side.
The Lady of the Golden Holy Palace was startled and quickly stood up, feigning concern, she asked, "Great King, are you all right?"
Sai Taisui hurriedly replied, "I’m fine, I’m fine! It’s my fault for being disrespectful; please don’t blame me, my lady."
The Lady of the Golden Holy Palace quickly said, "It is not your fault, Great King. It is my fault for wearing these old clothes, which caused you such suffering."
Sai Taisui sat down sulkily and chuckled, "It’s not the Lady’s fault. We should blame that meddlesome True Man Ziyang."
"At first, I did not recognize him and fell for his trick. He put this Five-colored Cloud Robe on the Lady; little did I know it’s easy to put on but extremely difficult to take off. Let me not see that charlatan, or I swear I’ll skin him alive."
"Please, Great King, calm down. Let me toast to you again," the Lady of the Golden Holy Palace said as she once again raised her glass to Sai Taisui.
Sai Taisui quickly raised his glass and drained it in one go.
Afterward, the Lady of the Golden Holy Palace continued to toast him several times, which eventually eased the previous awkward atmosphere.
