A monkey face sniffed and nuzzled all over Li Xu, and after a while, the impudent monkey sneered again, "Anyone who doesn't know any better might think you are a kind-hearted lay Buddhist with a devotion to Buddha, but who would have thought..."
"Who would have thought what, spell it out clearly!"
"Who would have thought, your flesh smells so strong it could be carried on the wind for miles!"
Li Xu's heart relaxed, but he angrily retorted on the surface, "You're slandering me!"
"Tsk, still stubborn, do you dare say you've never eaten human flesh?"
"You, you... I swear to heaven I have never eaten a person, and if I'm lying, let thunder strike me down and scatter my soul!"
The monkey was taken aback, seeing that Li Xu's expression did not seem feigned, and then he asked, "Then how do you explain the smell of meat and stench of blood on you?"
"You're so unreasonable, this impudent monkey! If I don't eat meat, should I starve to death?"
