The Empress, Li Yao and Xiang Yu sat together at a round table.
"So, what do we do about the Beast God? Do we take his offer?" Xiang Yu asked.
The Empress shook her head.
[No, we can't. He's obviously lying. And even if he isn't, there is no way he could beat a Sage,] the Empress said. [There's also the possibility that the Sage let him think he wasn't being controlled, but in reality it's all part of her plan. Wasn't it the same for the Asura God?] the Empress said.
Xiang Yu nodded. That made sense. Teaming up with him had more dangers than benefits.
"What is there to talk about? I'll just go there and slap him to death," Li Yao said.
"No."
[No.]
Xiang Yu and the Empress spoke at the same time.
She shrank back. "Fine, I was just saying," she said.
[From now on, you are grounded and can't go out anymore,] the Empress said.
"It's not like I want to go out anyway," Li Yao mumbled under her breath. She then glanced at Xiang Yu and smiled mischievously.
