Sang paused momentarily before adding, "But he wasn't an idiot. In fact, he was incredibly smart. He was the smartest person that had ever been and would ever be."

Xu Xiaoshou was speechless.

Sang turned and gave Xu Xiaoshou a look. "What do you think he asked him?"

Xu Xiaoshou scratched his head before looking Sang in the eye. "Why do you have such dark eyebags?"

Sang froze momentarily.

Then, he blew up.

He gave the young man a hard smack on the head. "Be serious!"

"Why did you force feed me the Infernal Fire Seed?" he asked.
