After some hesitation, however, he decided that he didn’t want to die just yet.
Pei Mianman felt incredibly gloomy inside. Chu Chuyan had already divorced him, so why did she still feel so guilty?
She was about to say something, but Chu Chuyan walked over to them, causing her to lose all confidence.
When he noticed how red her face was, Zu An realized that now wasn’t the time to hide as a man. “I…”
Before he could even explain himself, though, his nose was filled with a fragrant aroma. Chu Chuyan had already thrown herself into his arms.
Zu An was stunned. Chu Chuyan had always been cold and emotionless, whether it was because she cultivated the Snowflake Sword or if it was her natural disposition. This was the first time he had seen her so emotional, especially when in front of so many people.
“Ah Zu, I’m happy as long as you guys are okay.” Chu Chuyan’s body was shaking slightly. She embraced him tightly, as if she was scared that he might disappear at any moment.
Zu An felt a wave of tenderness surge within him, and he clung to her tightly in return.
The two of them had just gotten married when their clan had been thrown into turmoil. They were forced to separate for a long time, and had only just been reunited.
They held each other as if no one else was here. All the surrounding warriors watched silently, each of them feeling the urge to cry.
These soldiers had already been completely enamored by Chu Chuyan after traveling with her.
Even though they knew that she had married before, it was irrelevant when it came to someone this beautiful.
Besides, it was common knowledge that the wedding had been annulled, and that Chu Chuyan was single again.
Despite feeling that this woman was way beyond their league, their male instincts still made them simp after her, and they had been at her beck and call for most of their journey.
This was especially so after Zu An went missing. Many of them spoke words of consolation to her, but they were actually secretly delighted.
No one expected this fellow to make a return!
Even so, his reappearance was of little consequence. The emperor had already ordered his arrest, so he was dead for sure.
Furthermore, everyone had seen him with another woman, and young miss Chu had even caught them in the act.
Hmph! Miss Chu definitely saw how much of a playboy this man is and won’t care about him anymore. We finally have a chance!
Wait, hold on… what is going on? Why isn’t it going as expected?
You’re at least supposed to slap his face a few times, right?
Or maybe teach this mistress a lesson!
Wait, this mistress is quite pretty. She doesn’t seem to be inferior to young miss Chu in any way. Her chest is massive as well…
Uh… I guess we can’t blame Zu An…
Zu An’s mood immediately improved when he saw the Rage points pouring in. These fellows really knew how to welcome him!
Zhuxie Chixin coughed. He clearly didn’t feel comfortable watching this public display of affection. “Where is Mosquito Daoist?”
Chu Chuyan quickly sent Zu An a voice transmission. “When we heard that you guys were being chased by the Mosquito Daoist, we tried to find you as quickly as possible. However, we were too late, and saw her disappear into the dungeon with you two. We couldn’t go inside the dungeon and could only wait outside. We rushed over immediately after sensing the ki eruptions over here.”
Zu An gave her a grateful look. Then, he said to Zhuxie Chixin, “Mosquito Daoist got away not too long ago.”
“She ran away? She didn’t go after you?” Zhuxie Chixin was clearly still suspicious. “Then why are there traces of battle all around us?”
Zu An obviously didn’t want to give away his trump cards. Pei Mianman stepped in to cover for him. “Two mysterious experts appeared to fend off Mosquito Daoist. They left just before you arrived.”
“Mysterious experts?” Zhuxie Chixin looked around. One of the experts should be a metal element cultivator wielding a sword, while the other was an ice element cultivator. “Who were they? Why did they save you?”
Pei Mianman shook her head. “I don’t know. We didn’t have time to ask them anything.”
She secretly gestured towards Zu An while speaking. The plan was to muddy the waters further and let him guess the identities of those two mysterious experts.
Sure enough, Zhuxie Chixin fell deep into thought. Countless possibilities appeared in his mind, but he rejected them one after another. His head began to throb, but he still couldn’t figure it out.
“We’ll take the criminals back to the capital first.” Zhuxie Chixin said. He would investigate this matter using the Embroidered Envoy’s information network, but only after bringing them back with him. He will find out who dared interfere in this matter.
Zu An wasn’t planning on running to begin with, so he cooperated with them.
Chu Chuyan walked over to Pei Mianman and said with a smile, “Manman, isn’t there something you ought to tell me?”
Pei Mianman panicked. In the end, she decided to lay it all out in the open. “Chuyan, Ah Zu and I have already become a true husband and wife in the dungeon.”
Either way, Chu Chuyan and Zu An had already divorced each other. She might as well use this chance to solidify their relationship. That way, she wouldn’t have to subconsciously avoid this woman when she saw her in the future.
“A real husband and wife?” Chu Chuyan gave her a look. “But you’re clearly still a virgin.”
Pei Mianman was stunned into silence.
Only now did she realize that, even though they had lived as husband and wife throughout several generations and tried almost everything, it was their souls that had entered that trial. In the real world, she was still a virgin!
Pei Mianman’s face immediately became red. She was both ashamed and annoyed. That scoundrel is actually going to take my chastity three times!
