The old lady whispered to her what had happened. "I did meet him just now, but he was tied up with something and couldn't get away."
"But I was on official business just now, so I had to set up a formation to protect him temporarily, thinking I would help him when I come back."
Wen Wan nodded in sudden realization and quickly thanked Zhou Ziheng on his behalf, "Grandma, thank you for protecting him! You took so much trouble!"
After hearing this, the old lady waved her hands nonchalantly and said, "Why thank me? This is what I should do!"
"Now that you're here, I won't make another trip."
"Ah? You won't go with me?" Wen Wan asked pitifully. After all, she had been lost here for several hours. If the City Goddess didn't go with her, what would she do if she got lost again?
The old lady touched her head gently and said, "You can do it yourself."
Wen Wan groaned and shook her head, "I can't do this! I've been lost here for a long time!"
The old lady chuckled, then pointed behind her and said, "Everything is an illusion, look back!"
Wen Wan quickly turned her head and saw a big tree suddenly appear in the empty space behind her.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise. This tree... was the one she saw when she first came in.
So…she’s been going in circles for the past few hours?
"Is this... an illusion?"
The old lady smiled and nodded, "This is the border between the human world and the underworld, which you commonly call the 'Gate of Hell'."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand again, and a butterfly suddenly flew out from her sleeve and finally landed on Wenwan's fingertips.
"This is a butterfly that can lead you to him. You must bring him back safely. Go quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared without a trace, which scared Wen Wan. She really came and went quickly...
Wen Wan just reached out and touched the butterfly on her finger, and the butterfly flapped its wings and flew away.
The butterfly flew into the mist and it was very bright. Only then did she realize that this butterfly could actually glow.
She hurried to catch up, shouting as she walked, "Brother!! Zhou Ziheng!!"
After walking for a while, she finally saw a familiar figure in front of her, and she hurried forward.
The moment he saw Zhou Ziheng, he was about to pounce on him, but unexpectedly, Zhou Ziheng suddenly stretched out his arms and said, "Don't move."
Wen Wan was confused, but she still stopped obediently and asked puzzledly, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ziheng took a deep breath and suddenly asked her, "How much was the bottle of wine we drank yesterday?"
"Five million? What's wrong?" Wen Wan couldn't help but feel confused. What was the purpose of this? Was it to test her memory?
Zhou Ziheng asked again without stopping, "What do you love most about calling me?"
Wen Wan's face was full of question marks, and she asked tentatively, "Brother? Husband?"
Seeing that Zhou Ziheng was about to continue asking her questions, she rushed forward and punched the man fiercely, "Are you trying to rebel?"
"Now you won't even let me hold you! You don't treasure it now that you have it, right?"
After being hammered by her, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help laughing out loud, and shouted stickyly: "Baby, you finally came to save me!"
Then he complained aggrievedly: "Why are you so late?"
Wen Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "What bullshit are you talking about! I just woke up and came to rescue you!"
"I can't even take care of my backache, and you dare to complain about me being slow??"
Then he continued to accuse her, "How dare you not let me hold you? Are you really that bold?"
Zhou Ziheng hugged her and quickly explained: "You don't know how difficult it is for me to stay here."
"A ghost disguised himself as you to deceive me and even wanted to eat me!" His voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, with a hint of grievance at the end.
Wen Wan finally understood the whole story. No wonder he started questioning her crazily as soon as he saw her.
She looked at the frail handsome man in front of her and couldn't help feeling distressed. She quickly touched his head and coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I'm late!"
"I will definitely hurry up next time and won't get lost again!"
Look how wronged this person is, what a jerk!
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to do it again?"
"It was just a slip of the tongue. There won't be a next time." Wen Wan corrected with a helpless smile.
Then he asked him with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Zhou Ziheng shook his head and said, "No, a white-haired grandmother came over to help me just now."
"Well, I know. I just saw her and she told me your location." Wen Wan explained.
Then she looked down and saw a golden circle drawn on the ground, encircling Zhou Ziheng. She couldn't help but twitch her eyes, "This circle..."
“It really feels like Journey to the West.”
Zhou Ziheng, who was standing next to him, had a face full of resentment, "I am simply the Tang Monk."
"Do you know how desperate I was when I opened my eyes and found myself here?" He felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
Wen Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud. How did this guy become so funny after falling in love? He's really getting more and more ridiculous!
She quickly reached out and hugged him in her arms, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid anymore!"
Zhou Ziheng took a while to calm down a little. In fact, he was not that scared when he was alone, but he couldn't hold it back anymore when his wife came.
He sighed and asked, "Where exactly is this place? How could I have traveled so far in just one sleep?"
Wen Wan curled her lips and said, "This is the legendary gate of hell."
Then he reached out and patted his shoulder vigorously, saying jokingly, "Brother! Congratulations! Your soul has left your body!"
"You've got this opportunity that others can only experience once in their lifetime!"
Zhou Ziheng was confused, "???"
Then he looked at her and said very seriously, "Please call me husband! Thank you!"
Wen Wan burst out laughing. It’s still the same old saying, “A man remains a boy until he dies!”
This guy is really going backwards as he gets older. After falling in love, his personality becomes more and more childish, and his train of thought becomes more and more weird.
She asked, somewhat confused, "Shouldn't the focus now be on the soul leaving the body? Aren't you afraid?"
"What's so scary about leaving your body?"
"I know that no matter where I go, you will come to save me. With you here, I'm not afraid." Zhou Ziheng's lips curled up slightly, with deep affection and trust in his eyes.
Wen Wan didn't know why her old face turned red when he looked at her. Then she cleared her throat unnaturally and said, "Stop being so joking."
"We have to find a way to get back quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if we delay until dark and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
Zhou Ziheng frowned and recounted what he had encountered. "I've been trying to walk out since I got here, but every time I get to that tree, something bounces me back."
"But the ghosts who want to eat me can come and go as they please. I don't know why."
Wen Wan immediately recognized that this was a formation and couldn't help but frown. Who was targeting Zhou Ziheng?
