The Three Holy Mother looked at Sha Chen's expression, which suggested he wanted to cry but couldn't, and she seemed to realize she had caused trouble.
With her head lowered and lips pursed, she looked pitifully endearing.
But Sha Chen wasn't buying it.
Instead, he looked at her and said, "If I had known earlier that you'd stirred up trouble with the Nuwa Palace, I wouldn't have let you in."
He poked the Three Holy Mother's forehead. "You're from the Nuwa Palace yourself," he said. "You're even a descendant of Nuwa and possess the Treasured Lotus Lantern. Yet you ended up on the Nuwa Palace's wanted list. Aren't you ashamed?"
The Three Holy Mother flinched slightly. "I'm not being hunted," she said. "They just want to capture me and take me back to give the Nether World an explanation."
Sha Chen said, "I think an explanation is indeed in order."
