Wang Mu picked up a fruit from the plate, ate it, and said, "I didn't expect you to be from the Dongling Sea Dragon Palace. That's perfect. You can do me a favor."
"What favor?" Ao Qing, realizing he could no longer feign ignorance, asked warily. "If you're thinking of asking for a marriage, I can't help you with that. Don't forget about the Great Immortal…"
"Asking for what marriage?" Wang Mu was startled. "Are you talking about that Third Princess? Who would be interested in her? I'm not here to ask for a marriage… Besides, ahem… you know my relationship with the Great Immortal is… well, how could I possibly be here for that?"
Ao Qing fell silent for a moment.
"If you already have the Great Immortal, why would you become someone else's Taoist couple?" Ao Qing scoffed. "And you have the nerve to say it!"
"I had no choice!" Wang Mu said. "I didn't want to, but think about it: what's the identity, status, and strength of that Taoist couple?"
