Di Jun waved his hand, much like time flowing in reverse, all fragments flew up and gathered toward their respective places. In the blink of an eye, everything was restored to its original state; tables and chairs settled back, and on top of the tables were neatly placed tea cups, still emitting steam from the tea within.
Di Jun's hoarse and sorrowful voice was heard: "Please come in!"
The palace doors creaked open, and Fu Xi walked in from outside, bowing and saying, "I have seen Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I have seen Your Majesty the Demon Queen!"
Di Jun quickly stepped forward, held Fu Xi by the arms to lift him up, and said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, I've said before, we are of the same generation and should address each other as equals. There's no need for such formalities."
Fu Xi stood up following the motion, and said solemnly, "Since I have joined the Demon Court, proper hierarchy must be respected."
