Having said that, the Taibai Star Monarch stood up, his smile faded, and he looked all business. With a raise of his hand, a golden scroll flew out from his palm.
"Fairy Chang'e, receive the decree!" proclaimed the Taibai Star Monarch.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou turned tail and ran, not even looking back as he dashed into a cave.
The Taibai Star Monarch was left stunned by Qin Shou's action.
Chang'e quickly got to her feet and knelt, saying, "Fairy Chang'e receives the decree. Star Monarch, please forgive me, Yu'er has lived on the moon since he was young and doesn't understand the proper etiquette."
It was then that the Taibai Star Monarch regained his composure. Although he found Chang'e's explanation reasonable, he couldn't shake the feeling that the dog's behavior had some deeper meaning. It didn't seem like mere ignorance of etiquette; rather, it seemed as if he was deliberately avoiding something.
