Chu Hao found it strange how the toad had managed to find him in Anli City.
"I asked Li Yin," said the toad.
Guests should be welcomed, and since Chu Hao wasn't clear on the toad's relationship with Zi Jing, he arranged a place for Zi Jing to rest.
Zi Jing really was a child, fixated on beautiful sights and tasty food, especially the delicious barbecue.
Chu Hao then asked, "How have you survived the past month? Didn't she say she was going to burn you?"
The toad sighed deeply. "It's a long story, Kiddo Chu. You actually didn't save His Majesty. I heard from Zi Jing that you ran away with your tail between your legs? Despicable."
Damn! Chu Hao thought. Brother Hao was blown away at the time.
Chu Hao asked, "What's her story, anyway? That large and small gourd gave me quite a rough time."
The toad whispered, "His Majesty isn't afraid of that girl, but she has a grandfather who really gave me a hard time—I almost couldn't make it back."
