"You!" Yan Xuehen glared at him, her chest heaving, clearly her emotions were in turmoil.

After a long silence, she took a deep breath: "I told you, I've forgotten about that incident."

"Have you really forgotten?" Zuan checked the system backend and, seeing that he hadn't received any anger points, couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Of course!" Yan Xuehen's face was frosty as she turned and left.

Zuan sighed: "If you really forgot, you would have already drawn your sword and fought me to the death after being kissed just now."

Given Yan Xuehen's usual temperament, let alone kissing her, she would probably draw her sword if a man even touched her hand.

Hearing his words, Yan Xuehen almost fainted. She turned around and glared at him with hostility: "Are you a bastard? You're not satisfied even if I don't kill you?"

Yan Xuehen's anger level increased by 99...

Zuan laughed heartily: "I'm not just satisfied, I'm very happy, it proves that you still care about me."

Yan Xuehen took a deep breath, barely managing to calm her turbulent emotions: "Don't be so narcissistic. The only reason I didn't kill you is because you are Chu Yan's husband, and I don't want to hurt her feelings."

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Zu An looked at her with a grin. This woman had a unique charm when she got angry.

Hearing his clearly insincere words, Yan Xuehen almost exploded: "What exactly do you want?"

She made up her mind that if this guy dared to say anything more foolish about inclusiveness, she would immediately draw her sword and cut out his tongue.

Anger from Yan Xuehen: +222 +222 +222...

Zuan's smile faded, and he said solemnly, "I know there are too many difficulties standing between us, and I really don't know how to solve them. I don't want to make you unhappy... In that case, be my girlfriend for one hour, and then we'll go our separate ways. I won't bother you anymore."

"A girlfriend for an hour? What do you mean?" Yan Xuehen frowned slightly. Hearing that he would no longer bother her, she should be relieved, so why wasn't she happy?

“It takes about an hour and a half to get back to Zishan from here. On the way, let’s be lovers for once. After we get to Zishan, we’ll become complete strangers. I will forget what happened back then and stop bothering you,” Zu’an explained.

Yan Xuehen's heart skipped a beat. If this way, it might not be so bad if he stopped bothering her...

Her reason prevailed in the end, and there had to be a resolution between them.

When a couple spends an hour together, sealing away this memory can completely bring them peace of mind, freeing them from the anxiety and uncertainty they once felt.

She took a deep breath: "Okay, but you're not allowed to do anything weird!"

"Of course couples do things that couples do," Zuan quickly explained when he saw the other person's expression change. "But we definitely won't do the things you're thinking of, since we're flying back."

As he spoke, memories of his time in Qingqiu Kingdom surfaced in his mind. It wasn't entirely impossible in the heavens; the fox queen was indeed very alluring…

"I always felt there was something fishy about your smile," Yan Xuehen frowned slightly, but thinking that he probably wouldn't have a chance to do anything too outrageous while flying in the sky, she agreed, "Okay, I hope you keep your promise."

Upon hearing this, Zu'an happily ran over, grabbed her hand, and felt its cool, jade-like touch.

Yan Xuehen trembled and instinctively tried to pull her hand back: "What are you doing!"

"Isn't it normal for couples to hold hands?" Zuan looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Yan Xuehen's breath hitched, but after thinking that there was only one hour left, she hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not resist.

The two strolled under the night sky, the occasional chirping of insects only adding to the tranquility.

Feeling the heat from the other person's palm, Yan Xuehen felt somewhat uncomfortable. To ease the awkwardness, she asked, "What exactly happened at the Prefect's residence just now?"

Zuan briefly recounted what had just happened to her, and the faint fragrance wafting in the air was quite pleasant.

"The emperor is indeed very strong. I didn't dare to get close just now, for fear of being discovered by him." Yan Xuehen said with lingering fear.

"Was that the Yin spirit or Yang spirit of an Earth Immortal just now?" Zu An asked. The other party was a grandmaster who had been famous for a long time and knew more about this than he did.

"From what you're saying, that's clearly his Yang spirit. I've heard of him manifesting his divine power a few times over the years, but I've never heard of him revealing his Yang spirit. It seems he really has a special relationship with you," Yan Xuehen remarked.

"What's so unusual about it? They just think something's happened at Zishan," Zu'an said dismissively.

"What do you mean?" Yan Xuehen was taken aback, naturally understanding some of the subtext.

Zu An didn't hide anything from her and explained that Zhao Hao had sent him here ostensibly to repair the Zishan Palace, but in reality, to eliminate various safety hazards.

Yan Xuehen smiled and said, "So you suspect that the gathering of the nine sects of Taoism at Zishan will be detrimental to the emperor. If that's the case, why did you tell me? I am also a member of the nine sects of Taoism."

Zuan gazed quietly at her exquisite, flawless face: "Because we're a couple. Couples are the closest people in the world, so why should I hide it from you?"

Yan Xuehen's heart skipped a beat. Was this the weight of the word "couple"?

However, she couldn't withstand his intense gaze and looked away slightly: "Don't worry, the emperor is so powerful that even the leaders of the nine sects of Taoism combined are no match for him. Why would he do something as futile as throwing an egg against a rock?"
