The chill emanating from the sword instantly raised goosebumps on Zu An's skin. He hurriedly said, "Great hero, are you trying to rob me of my money or my virtue? Let's discuss this properly. Please don't let your hand slip."

As he spoke, he secretly prepared to summon a strong wind, ready to teleport away if things went wrong.

A chuckle came from behind: "I can understand robbing you out of your money, but robbing you out of your virtue... do you even have that?"

"A woman?" Hearing the deliberately altered voice from the side, Zu An felt much more at ease. He would have been a little worried if it were a male assassin, but dealing with women was his forte.

“Heroine, I disagree with what you’re saying. You can insult my character, but you can’t insult my handsome face,” Zu An said seriously.

"Pah, so glib-tongued, no wonder that bitch Qiu Honglei took a liking to you." A soft snort came from behind, and the sword at his neck was sheathed.

Zuan cautiously turned around and saw a masked woman leaning against the wall, slowly sitting down on his bed.

As she sat down, a wave of water-like ripples appeared on her chest.

“So big…” Zuan swallowed hard and couldn’t help but say it out loud.

Logically speaking, although he might have some quirks in his thinking, he would never act so recklessly and impulsively.

However, her night clothes were too tight, which made her figure look particularly good.

It was a completely instinctive exclamation, blurted out without thinking.

He knew he was in trouble the moment the words left his mouth, and sure enough, the masked woman's eyes turned cold: "What did you say?"

"I mean, Miss Pei's words sound like she's really jealous." Zu An reacted quickly and immediately smoothed things over. The other woman's naturally smiling peach blossom eyes, especially her obvious chest features, made her recognizable at a glance, even if she was masked.

"Me, jealous?" Pei Mianman removed the veil from her face and casually tossed it aside, a playful smile on her face. "Your self-esteem is a bit too high, isn't it?"

Seeing that the topic had been changed, Zu'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "There's nothing I can do about it. Being too outstanding naturally makes it easy to have these kinds of illusions."

Pei Mianman snorted: "I really can't understand how someone like Chu Yan could put up with you."

"Did you just go to Chu Yan's place?" Zu An asked somewhat guiltily. The two of them had been healing there and hadn't paid much attention to what was happening outside.

However, with such tight security around her, unless she also possesses teleportation or stealth abilities, it would be difficult for her to escape the notice of the Chu family's guards.

"No," Pei Mianman said, her expression a little unnatural. It felt strange to visit her best friend's husband so late at night instead of her best friend, so she quickly added, "I heard she's not feeling well, so I won't disturb her rest so late."

After speaking, he suddenly frowned and shifted his body uncomfortably.

"Are you injured?" Zuan finally realized, recalling that she had been moving somewhat slowly earlier.

"Hmph, I came to save you, but you and that vixen ran away, leaving me to deal with Chen Xuan, a sixth-rank expert, and so many of Black Wind Stronghold's men. And now you still have the nerve to ask this?" Pei Mianman was furious when she talked about this. She was angry at Qiu Honglei on one hand, and angry at Zu An for actually going with her.

Anger from Pei Mianman: +66 +66 +66...

Zu An said awkwardly, "I didn't expect Qiu Honglei to suddenly pull me into the water. It happened so suddenly that by the time I realized what was happening, I had already swallowed a lot of water. Then she pulled me to the shore. I looked back at the boat and saw that you and Chen Xuan were evenly matched, and the city defense troops were coming over, so I didn't come back to find you, so as not to cause you any trouble."

He naturally omitted the part about Qiu Honglei giving him breathing exercises halfway through; he had already angered one person, and he didn't want to anger a second one in such a short time.

The only saving grace is that he wiped the lipstick mark off his lips on his way back; otherwise, it would be really hard to explain now.

"Hmph, at least you still have some conscience." Hearing that he was still concerned about her battle, Pei Mianman's expression softened slightly. "But Chen Xuan is a high-level sixth rank after all. I'm already lucky to have survived. What's a little injury?"

Zuan's eyes lit up: "Where are you injured? I have some medicine here."

Because of the suicidal cultivation method of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, he had prepared a large amount of healing medicine after he became rich, including many fine products obtained from Ji Dengtu.

"You asked me where I was injured, but why are you staring at my chest?" Pei Mianman's smile was tinged with a dangerous glint.

Zuan blushed and hurriedly said, "I'm just concerned about where you're injured."

"Don't even think about it, it's not the place you're thinking of." Pei Mianman's eyes were playful. "I still can't figure out how Chu Yan could have fallen for you with your shameless personality. Not to mention her, even that vixen Qiu Honglei is quite fond of you, but no matter how I look at you, I can't see anything different about you."

Zuan smiled shyly: "I am a person of inner beauty. You need to get to know me better to truly understand my strengths and advantages."

"You, are you secretly talented?" Pei Mianman couldn't help but laugh, but after only a couple of laughs, her injuries aggravated, and her delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"You're injured on your back?" After observing for a while, Zuan had roughly determined the location of the injury. After all, he was a professional when it came to injuries!

"Hmm." Seeing that he seemed to be coming over to check, Pei Mianman raised the sword in her hand. "It's none of your business. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Zu An was immediately amused. It turned out that this woman, who usually acted so seductive and flirtatious, was actually quite conservative at heart.
