Zu An was still somewhat uneasy. Noticing that the surrounding environment was rather opulent and that there seemed to be some figures guarding outside the door, he first covered Pei Mianman with the blanket again, and then called out, "Someone come here!"

Just then, the door creaked open, and a young girl dressed as a maid slowly walked in.

The maid was quite pretty; in her previous life, she would have been at least a class beauty or a top-tier beauty.

However, having become accustomed to the stunning beauty of Pei Mianman, Zu An's aesthetic sense had greatly improved, and ordinary looks were no longer enough to stir his heart.

However, her outfit was quite eye-catching because she was wearing very little clothing, as if she was only wearing a bra and a mini skirt, which just covered her private parts.

The girl's fair and slender waist and her shapely, fair legs were revealed, showcasing her youthful vitality to the fullest.

After a slight surprise, Zu An realized that in ancient times, resources were scarce and clothing and textiles were not well-developed, so people often didn't wear many clothes. It wasn't that the girl was deliberately dressing provocatively.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how lucky the men of ancient times were.

As he was lost in thought, the maidservant bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty?" Zu'an was taken aback, and Pei Mianman beside him also widened her eyes, clearly not expecting such a change.

"What dynasty is this?" Zu An asked hurriedly.

"Dynasty?" The maid looked puzzled, clearly not understanding the meaning of the word.

"Uh, it's like, what country are we from?" Zuan hurriedly explained.

The maidservant then understood: "We are from the Shang Kingdom. Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking such a strange question?"

Zu An's heart skipped a beat, worried that she would see through his disguise. But then he thought, he was already the king, so why should he worry about such things? After all, the Shang Dynasty was known for its practice of sacrificing people as livestock.

So he put on a stern face and snorted, "Am I asking you a question, or are you asking me?"

Sensing his anger, the maidservant was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling all over: "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

Seeing her terrified expression, Zu An could sense the terrifying methods of torture used in the Shang Dynasty.

He felt a pang of guilt at scaring such a young girl, but remembering his purpose, he had no choice but to harden his heart for the time being: "Say my name, and I will spare your life."

The maidservant hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. This servant dares not address Your Majesty by your given name."

Zuan snorted: "Speak if I tell you to, or I'll drag you away and mince you."

The maid's face changed drastically; she clearly knew how gruesome the punishment of being minced into pieces was. She hurriedly said, "You are Wu Ding, the greatest emperor in history, you are..."

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, she immediately launched into a long string of flattering and effusive praises.

"Wu Ding?" Zu An's expression changed slightly. He recalled some documentaries he had watched in his previous life, as well as Mi Li's explanation when he passed by those murals. A lot of information about Wu Ding flashed through his mind.

He came here to participate in the trials, how did he suddenly become Wu Ding, the ruler of the Shang Dynasty?

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he pointed to Pei Mianman beside him, saying, "And what about her? Who is she?"

The maid's expression was strange. She thought to herself, "You don't even recognize her anymore? Are you really possessed?"

However, after what had happened, she dared not reveal any such intention again and hurriedly replied, "She is your queen, Lady Fuhao."

"Fu Hao?" Zu An was more surprised than knowing that she was Wu Ding. Fu Hao was the first recorded female general in Chinese history, as well as a queen and high priestess. Her various identities made her life exceptionally legendary.

Pei Mianman was also surprised. Although she did not know the history of the Shang Dynasty, she had learned some information about Fu Hao from Ya Chang and knew that she was a remarkable heroine. At the same time, the bronze vessel at the entrance to their trial was the Fu Hao Owl Zun.

When Zaun saw the maid kneeling on the ground trembling, he couldn't bear it, having traveled from the civilized world. So he asked her a few more questions and then let her go.

He also offered her some words of comfort, which gradually calmed her frightened heart.

"This servant will not disturb Your Majesty and Queen's rest any longer." The maidservant felt as if she had been granted a pardon and hurriedly closed the door and left.

Pei Mianman looked worried: "Grandpa, this trial is too strange. We have no idea what it is testing us for."

Zuan nodded and pondered, "So far, I only know one thing."

"What?" Pei Mianman asked hurriedly.

Zuan looked at her with a hint of a smile: "So now that we're officially husband and wife in this world, it's time to do what a married couple should do."

Pei Mianman was quite coquettish. She had thought he was going to say something else when she saw his serious expression, but she didn't expect him to talk about this.

However, after understanding their current situation, their previous fears subsided considerably. In addition, the two were in love and their emotions rose with physical contact, so they were already more than willing.

Seeing this, Zuan pressed forward again, continuing what he hadn't finished.

"But what if this test is about female charm?" Pei Mianman was still a little worried.

Zuan shook his head: "No, Wu Ding and Fu Hao were a normal couple, loving each other throughout their lives, and had several children, so we are just going with the flow."

"How do you know so much about this?" Pei Mianman asked curiously. She had never heard of anything like the Shang Dynasty or Wu Ding.

Zuan smiled slightly and pointed to his head: "This is the world I saw in my dream."

Pei Mianman blinked and couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that the world in your dream was so similar to these secret realms. Sometimes I even wonder if you are the chosen one of Heaven."
