Faced with his actions, Yun Yuqing trembled and instinctively leaned back, while simultaneously placing her hands on his chest, trying to push him away.

After all, given their previous relationship, they were still somewhat unfamiliar with each other. Except for the most emotional moments, she instinctively resisted kissing him.

Unfortunately, Zu'an was adamant. He grabbed her slender waist with his other hand and pulled her back into his arms.

While she was still hesitating and thinking, Zuan kissed her without saying a word.

Yun Yuqing's starry eyes widened instantly, and she hurriedly punched his chest with her small fists, signaling him to let go.

Unfortunately, Zu'an paid no attention to her. Yun Yuqing struggled for a while but gave up when she saw that it was futile.

"What a domineering man..."

With her current cultivation level, she could easily slap the man off her, but she tried many times and ultimately didn't make a move. She just limply rested her hand on his chest and slowly closed her eyes.

...

After an unknown amount of time, the faint calls of two women could be heard in the distance: "Grandma~ Grandma?"

Clearly, Pei Mianman and Zheng Dan were worried about his safety and had followed him all the way here.

Yun Yuqing was startled and quickly pushed him away. She glanced guiltily in the direction of the sound and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were still some distance away and had not been discovered.

"It's all your fault, you almost made me unable to face anyone." Yun Yuqing bit her thin lips lightly, while straightening her disheveled clothes and glaring at the man beside her with a resentful look. Her eyes, filled with intense emotion, seemed to be about to overflow with tears. Her charm at that moment was simply irresistible.

Zuan simply smiled and admired the beautiful scenery before him. He had previously felt that he had been extremely unlucky lately, but now that he had gotten this incredibly beautiful woman, his luck didn't seem so bad after all.

"I can't stay out for too long, or I'll be discovered. I have to go back now," Yun Yuqing said quickly.

Zu'an was taken aback: "Are you that afraid of the King of Wu?"

Yun Yuqing shook her head: "The reasons are a bit complicated. The main reason is that our demon race has a strong cooperative relationship with him, and we can't completely break off relations... It's too late now, I'll tell you another time."

As she was leaving, she suddenly turned around, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek before blushing and flying away quickly.

Zuan touched his cheek, his fingertips still seemingly carrying her fragrance. He thought to himself, how could this woman be so shy and demure, just like a young girl? Even that night, she was no different from a virgin. She was not like a married woman at all, but more like a girl who had never experienced love.

By this time, Pei Mianman and Zheng Dan had already spotted him from afar, and they waved to him with delight, calling out, "Grandpa~"

Seeing the two women's worried expressions, Zu An also felt a little regretful. They were so worried, while he was enjoying himself.

He hurried forward to greet her: "I'm here!"

Seeing that he was safe and sound, the two women breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is the old dragon?"

Zuan laughed heartily: "He's dead."

"Dead?" The two women were both shocked. Pei Mianman hurriedly asked, "How did he die?"

Zuan puffed out his chest: "Of course I killed him."

"You?" Pei Mianman looked puzzled. Who was it that was just beaten like a dog?

Zheng Dan, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought. She didn't really doubt it, after all, she had personally witnessed him slaying that red dragon.

"What, you don't believe me?" Zuan snorted. "I have many secrets. I've killed grandmasters, let alone a mere old dragon."

Pei Mianman suddenly realized that ever since she first met him at the Chu family ancestral hall, this man's growth rate had been far beyond her imagination. Every time they met again after parting, his strength would have increased by a large step. Even if he had high talent, it was unlikely that he could have such a terrifying speed of cultivation.

Thinking that he must indeed have many secrets, she believed him to a large extent: "More than how that old dragon died, I'm curious about the fragrance on you."

Pei Mianman leaned close to his chest and sniffed gently, a half-smile on her face: "This fragrance is very elegant; it must belong to a very beautiful woman."

Hearing her words, Zheng Dan looked at him strangely. He was just being chased by that giant dragon, and now he's hooking up with a beautiful woman.

Zu An's heart skipped a beat. These women all had noses sharper than dogs. He hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. That's the smell of the medicine powder that Miss Ji gave me before. I used this to poison that dragon."

"Really?" Pei Mianman asked skeptically. "What kind of poison is so potent that it could incapacitate a dragon?"

"I don't know about that. Miss Ji comes from a family with a long and distinguished academic tradition..." Zu An chuckled and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how are your injuries?"

"It's alright." The two women shook their heads. "The Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill you gave me before was very effective, and its medicinal power has already begun to take effect."

"That's good." Seeing that they didn't press the matter further, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Mianman blinked and asked curiously, "What are your plans next?"

After all, Zu'an is now a wanted criminal, and all forces in the world are coveting the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" he possesses. His current situation is indeed worrying.

Zuan replied, "I've decided to go to the capital with the Sang family."

"With the Sang family?" Pei Mianman's expression was strange. "Could it be that you've taken a fancy to Miss Sang?"

Zuan was somewhat annoyed: "Is that the kind of person you think I am?"

“That’s right.” Pei Mianman and Zheng Dan answered in unison, then paused for a moment, exchanged a smile.

Zuan: "..."

He said in a deep voice, "The main reason is that I can't be a fugitive forever. I need to go to the capital to resolve this matter completely."
