Those two women ruined her plans with that kiss; she remembered it vividly.

Zuan hummed in agreement.

Hei Jingteng's lips curled up slightly. It would be best if all these vixens disappeared.

However, seeing Zu An's unpleasant expression, she wasn't stupid and naturally wouldn't show it. Instead, she pretended to be sad and said, "That's such a pity."

"Your acting would be slightly better if you didn't smile," Zu'an said, exasperated, seeing through her little scheme.

Hei Jingteng simply stopped pretending: "Hmph, I'm not familiar with her at all. Last time, she almost ruined my plans. It's already a big favor that she didn't clap to celebrate."

"You!" Zuan was a little angry, but seeing the other party's stubborn glare, he sighed dejectedly, "Fine."

He also knew that Hei Jingteng had always been eccentric and, being a villain by origin, his way of thinking was very different from that of normal people.

Besides, she really did help a lot just now, so it's not good to blame her.

Seeing his disheartened look, Hei Jingteng cautiously asked, "Will you stop talking to me because of this?"

Zuan: "..."

This woman's thought process is a bit bizarre.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hei Jingteng became anxious: "You can't just start something and then abandon it. I'll help you find a way to save them later."

"Don't misuse idioms," Zu'an said with a dark expression. "When did I say I didn't want you anymore? And what's your plan to save them?"

Hei Jingteng rested his chin on his hand: "I vaguely remember there was a way to save them from this situation, but I have lived for so long that my memory has been worn down, and I can't remember it right now."

Zuan grabbed her arms excitedly: "You have to remember!"

Sigh, these beings that are thousands or tens of thousands of years old still look young and beautiful, but their biggest problem is that they don't have good memories. Mi Li is like that, and so is she.

Hei Jingteng's eyes darted around: "My source energy is severely depleted right now. If you help me replenish it, the more I recover, the more I might be able to remember."

Zuan: "..."

He was almost amused and annoyed; this woman always managed to circumvent the issue.

"Let's leave here first." Even if Zuan was desperate to save someone, he wouldn't do that in this kind of situation.

Hearing his tone soften, Hei Jingteng smiled. Since she wasn't going back to the jade coffin, she decided to travel with Zu'an.

Despite the snow-capped mountain scenery along the way, she still found it incredibly fascinating, chattering away with Zuan the whole way, always asking common-sense questions that seemed utterly ordinary to most people.

Zaun was initially impatient, but later realized that the other party had spent a long time suppressing demons in that great tomb, and even after escaping, he was in the dark and sunless ghost realm, so he probably rarely had the chance to see the outside world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel pity, and his tone became much gentler when he answered her.

Sensing his change, Hei Jingteng affectionately took his hand and naturally nestled her whole body against him.

Not long after, a cloud of dust suddenly rose in the distance, and a group of people riding various strange beasts rushed over.

Soon the group of people arrived. The one in the lead was extremely charming, but there was also a sense of fragility and helplessness in her eyes, like that of a widow. Who else could it be but the Little Demon Queen?

Behind her were experts from various demon clans. When they saw Zu An, they were all delighted and about to call out, but then they saw Jing Teng standing right next to him, and all their words got stuck in their throats.

Their eyes would occasionally glance at the Little Demon Queen, and their expressions became extremely interesting.
