Zuan: "..."

Doesn't this kind of dialogue create a sense of identity misalignment?

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" He glanced around and, finding no one else, suppressed the urge to strike.

This woman is definitely not stupid. She must have something to be confident about if she dares to approach me in this kind of situation.

"Then make your move," Zhao Xiaodie seemed to be urging him to.

"Fine, we're friends after all. Just name your terms."

Hearing his words, Zhao Xiaodie's eyes flickered, and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced: "Our whole family was almost ruined by you. Do you really think we are friends?"

“Back then, my relationship with the Prince of Qi was just a difference in our positions, not a personal grudge. As for you,” Zu An sighed, “I originally thought you were a friend, but seeing your reaction now, I guess I was just being presumptuous.”

"Pah, you bastard, you're so good at lying, you can kill people with your silver tongue," Zhao Xiaodie said, her teeth itching. But in the end, she sighed softly. "Actually, I should hate you from any angle, and I often tell myself that. But I don't know why, when I see you, I find it hard to hate you."

Zuan was shocked, never expecting the other party to look at him like that.

"After entering the Temple of Annihilation, I gradually came into contact with the knowledge of all the heavens and myriad worlds. What I have seems to be called Stockholm Syndrome, and it does seem quite similar." Zhao Xiaodie smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Actually, when you chose the temple, you should have known that there are countless paths in the world, but in the end, only by following your own heart can you achieve clarity of mind. Why bother considering anything else?” Zuan said in a deep voice.

“You always make such a good point,” Zhao Xiaodie smiled. “Luckily you didn’t attack me just now, otherwise I might have really made up my mind.”

Zuan said gently, "I'm not the kind of person who would do anything to destroy a beautiful woman, and ultimately you're also a victim."

"Hmph, you still say you're not a heartless person, but you spanked her so hard back then..." Zhao Xiaodie blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed to continue, "Ahem, this time it was my father who came to see you."

"Your father?" Zu'an was shocked. Could it be that the King of Qi had been resurrected?

Zhao Xiaodie hurriedly explained, "In this world, my identity is Dorgon's daughter. He is the Conqueror King of the Annihilation Faction, and his strength is almost equal to that of the Annihilation God Envoy."

Zu'an, recalling the current situation of the Silent Annihilation that the Little Demon Queen had introduced him to, pondered, "What does he want from me?"

"He's probably trying to win you over. You're a surrendered general now, so it's best not to offend him," Zhao Xiaodie advised.

Zuan didn't expect her to be genuinely worried about him: "Thank you."

"Hmph, I'm not doing this for you. I'm all alone in the Annihilation faction now, and you're the only one I know. Remember to help each other out in the future." Zhao Xiaodie wasn't really sure what she was thinking either.

"That's natural." The grudges of the past cultivation world are nothing in the grand scheme of things in all the myriad realms.

Soon, she led them to the residence of the Conqueror King.

The other party treated him warmly, and when the time was right, they casually remarked, "I see that you have extraordinary talent, and it is a pity that you have not been given important responsibilities for so long."

Zuan's heart stirred slightly; here it comes.

His words were, intentionally or unintentionally, meant to sow discord between himself and Huang Taiji.

"After all, I am a surrendered general. The Annihilation Camp is full of talented people, so it's not my turn to take the stage."

"That's not the main reason. Ultimately, it's because of your relationship with the Empress that the Khan feels a thorn in his side every time he thinks about it."

Zu An thought to himself that this attempt to sow discord was not very clever. As the messenger of the God of Annihilation, how could Wu Lu Zhi Xian care about such a relationship between men and women?

But he continued in a cooperative tone: "At the time, I really didn't know she was the Khan's empress. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to touch her even if you gave me a million lives."

"But I've heard Xiaodie talk about your past deeds. You're quite daring," the Conqueror King said with a half-smile.

Zuan was startled and looked at Zhao Xiaodie beside him, wondering what she had said to the Conqueror King.

"You need not be afraid. It is precisely because I know of your past achievements that I have decided to seek your cooperation," the Conqueror King said bluntly. "I will not beat around the bush either. I hope you will lend me a hand and take over the power of the Lawless String!"

Zuan: "..."

This guy is really direct.

"The String of No Law is, after all, an envoy of the God of Annihilation. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to influence your struggle."

The Conqueror King snorted: "You don't need to be modest. You are also a messenger of memory. Although your aura doesn't seem strong, a person's strength is often determined by a combination of factors. After hearing what Xiaodie said about your past, and considering your performance in the Ming Court recently, you are definitely a true powerhouse."

"The Conqueror King is too kind."

"Stop beating around the bush. Just give me a straight answer, whether you want to join or not."

Not far away, Zhao Xiaodie frantically winked at Zu An, clearly reminding him to agree. The Conqueror King had already been frank, and if he didn't agree, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this room alive.

Zuan did not immediately agree. Instead, he said, "Since you, King of Conquerors, have this idea, you must be quite confident. I want to know what gives you your confidence. Otherwise, I will die if I blindly join, so why be a fickle person?"

Zhao Xiaodie immediately panicked. It was clearly the Conqueror King who was testing you, so how did it become you testing the Conqueror King? Fearing that she would anger the Conqueror King, she hurriedly tried to explain and smooth things over for him.

The Conqueror King laughed heartily: "Not bad, you are indeed a talent. If you had agreed to join directly, I would have suspected that you were just being hypocritical and might have turned around and sold me out to the String of No Law."

“Although the String of No Law is a divine messenger, my strength is no less than his. The only difference is that he possesses the authority of a divine messenger. After years of research, I have discovered a fatal flaw in him.”

"A fatal flaw?"

"I can't tell you the specifics right now. You just need to know that I have the ability to deal with him. You are just an insignificant surrendered general under him now, but with me, I can completely unleash your talents. The task of unifying the world can be entrusted to you. When you make great contributions, you will be appreciated by the true god, and your status in the Annihilation camp will be extraordinary."

"Okay, I'll join!"

Zuan sighed inwardly. Sometimes fate is so strange. In history, the factions of Dorgon and Huang Taiji were full of struggles. He never expected that in the camp of Annihilation, the two factions would still be fighting like this.

He had been pondering solutions to the world's problems, but what he lacked was a variable, and now that variable had finally arrived.

The Conqueror King was overjoyed: "Hahaha, with you and me joining forces, success seems within reach. By the way, I heard from Xiaodie that you are very strategic. What do you think we should do next to deal with the Lawless String?"
