It's very strange. Being friends with both a dragon and a demon? People would call you crazy.

(But that is indeed the truth. Your two friends: Ne Zha and Ao Bing. Ao Bing is a dragon from the Eastern Sea, the spirit pearl... and Ne Zha is a demon, the demon pill.)

(Of course, you aren't really anything special. You aren't a demon, or a dragon, or a... well, not anything abnormal.)

(You've talked about these two friends of yours in front of your parents before... and your family keeps persisting that you invite them for dinner at your home. Almost every single day. Especially asking for Ao Bing, since you've said he was so well mannered.)

(Which is why you reluctantly decided to ask them the question: 'Why don't you come to my house for dinner?')

(Ne Zha didn't seem to be in the mood... until you mentioned food. Then he immediately agreed. Who would be insane enough to turn down a free meal? Ao Bing, on the other hand, agreed. You're his friend, after all.)

And now...

(Standing in front of your homes gate... you opened it, Ne Zha and Ao Bing following behind. Ne Zha immediately spoke up,)

NE ZHA: "So, what food is being prepared?"
