Upon hearing the voice, Zu'an turned around in surprise and delight.
A woman in white was seen running anxiously towards them, lifting the hem of her skirt. Her black hair was casually tied back, with a few stray strands swaying around her ears, making her neck appear long and slender like white jade.
Her once affectionate eyes, which looked at dogs with such tenderness, now held less of their usual allure and more of excitement and surprise.
Her face was flushed from running, her dress clung to her slender waist, and her chest heaved, adding a touch of softness and brightness to the blood-and-fire environment of Shouyang Mountain.
"Yuqing!" Zu'an was both surprised and delighted. He never expected to run into her here. He was even worried that she might be just another person in this world who looked like the Goddess of Wushan.
However, when the other person threw herself into his arms and he felt that familiar, soft body, he knew he hadn't mistaken her for someone else.
"Brother Zu..." Yun Yuqing buried her face in Zu An's chest, her voice trembling with tears.
She held Zu'an tightly with both hands, as if afraid that he would disappear if she loosened her grip even slightly.
Zu An was equally surprised and delighted: "Yu Qing, what are you doing here?"
He looked to the side but did not see Ji Xiaoxi and Jiang Luofu, and felt a little uneasy.
When they first arrived at that long-forgotten fragment of time, Yun Yuqing, Jiang Luofu, and Ji Xiaoxi traveled together, but unfortunately, there has been no news of them since.
Having come from the secret realm of the Demon Clan's royal tomb to this Heavenly Court world, how could the other party appear here?
In an instant, he was filled with too many questions.
At this moment, the Goddess of Wushan couldn't help but glance at the Mermaid Queen. Suddenly, another beautiful girl was throwing herself into her lover's arms. How come she didn't seem angry at all?
The Mermaid Queen had a complicated expression. Zaun had mentioned these companions to her before, so she had expected it all along.
I never expected to meet them under these circumstances.
Speaking of which, this girl is really beautiful. A woman who can be favored by Brother Zu can't be anything less than gorgeous.
What should I say when I introduce myself to him? Would it sound a bit sleazy if I said that I just got married to Brother Zu...?
"Miss Yun, who exactly is this person?" At this moment, the man covered in flames flew to the side of the two, looking at Zu An with some vigilance, his gaze falling on Yun Yuqing's hands that were holding him.
"He is my husband." A hint of shyness crossed Yun Yuqing's face, but she still bravely introduced him.
The Goddess of Wushan raised her eyebrows slightly and secretly glanced at the Mermaid Queen again, thinking to herself that the Queen was asserting her dominance.
Hmm, I have this strange feeling that I'd love for them to start fighting so I can watch the show...
The mermaid queen also had a strange expression. She was still hesitating whether to assert her dominance first, but the other party beat her to it.
Zuan was equally puzzled: "Yuqing, who is he?"
The other person spoke to Yun Yuqing in a rather polite tone, and it was clear that it wasn't the tone of a pursuer, but rather pure respect.
This is strange. The two sides are quite different in strength, and he can't figure out why they are in this state no matter how hard he tries.
"This is Lord Wu Hui, the Fire Official of the Heavenly Court," Yun Yuqing hurriedly introduced. "I was in danger before, but fortunately he saved me."
"Fire Official, Wu Hui? Heavenly Court?" Zu An was somewhat shocked. No wonder those golden-armored warriors looked familiar; they were heavenly soldiers and generals.
At this moment, the voice of the Goddess of Wushan rang in my ears: "The Fire Minister of the Heavenly Court is a celestial god who controls all fire in the world. His position is extremely esteemed. The previous Fire Minister was Chongli. However, not long ago, after Chongli severed the connection between heaven and earth and returned to the Great Dao, the Heavenly Court may have appointed Wu Hui to take over the position."
Zuan thought to himself, "No wonder the opponent was so good at controlling fire just now, he's a fire god."
Wu Hui also glanced at him, her tone carrying a hint of praise: "Miss Yun, your husband is quite capable."
Zu'an, however, was more focused on what Yun Yuqing had mentioned earlier: "What happened with the danger you mentioned? And why are you here... here?"
Yun Yuqing bit her lip: "After we separated, Sister Jiang, Sister Xiaoxi, and I went to investigate the information about the Glazed Hairpin Flower. After many twists and turns, we found that the Demon Clan Royal Tomb might have this thing, so we went to the Demon Clan Royal Tomb to investigate. However, it had been occupied by extraterrestrial demons, so we could only hide our tracks and investigate secretly."
"We finally found an opportunity to sneak into the demon royal tomb from a hidden place, but suddenly a white light appeared, the whole space became chaotic, and we appeared in this world."
Upon hearing this, Zu'an was filled with emotion. It turned out that the three of them had also been near the imperial mausoleum, but at the time, his attention was entirely focused on dealing with the Lord of Slaughter and the Lord of Demons. In addition, the imperial mausoleum was so vast and they were so well hidden that he had not discovered their whereabouts.
As for the white light she mentioned, it must have been when the secret realm opened, and they were caught off guard and swept into it.
Thinking of this, he secretly rejoiced. The situation at that time was too dangerous. If they had been discovered by either the Lord of Demons or the Lord of Slaughter, it would have been troublesome.
"What about Principal Jiang and Xiao Xi?"
Yun Yuqing's eyes reddened: "After we came to this world, we've been carefully investigating what's going on here, trying to find a way back. We ended up finding a mysterious altar, and Xiaoxi's innate Poisonous Body was suddenly activated by a mysterious power..."
"What!" Zu An was shocked to hear this. He knew all too well how powerful Ji Xiaoxi's innate Evil Poison Saint Body was. He had been told in the Fire Cloud Cave that once the poison body was activated, there would be no way to survive.
