"I'm thinking about it all." Zuan was quite frank, hugging the soft body even tighter.
"He really is a scumbag!" Pei Mianman immediately struggled, pretending to be angry.
Zuan did not let go, and continued to hold her tightly.
Sensing his low spirits, Pei Mianman stopped struggling and said softly, "I heard that you went to find that Chang'e and the Goddess of Wushan. Did you not find them?"
“No…” Zu’an loosened his grip slightly, took her hand, and sat down at the table. He then told her about what he had seen and heard over the past few days.
"I never imagined that you two would be separated for countless millennia." Pei Mianman was also somewhat lost in thought, and suddenly asked, "Did that Goddess of Wushan really look just like me?"
Zuan scrutinized her beautiful face: "Although they look exactly the same, they are actually completely opposite."
"What nonsense! You don't need to say things like that to please me," Pei Mianman scoffed.
“I’m not lying,” Zu An said, stroking her hand. “The goddess of Wushan is indeed the complete opposite of you. You are charming and passionate, while she is aloof and ethereal. If you didn’t look exactly alike, I would find it hard to believe that she was your past life.”
"Aloof and otherworldly?" Pei Mianman said, somewhat annoyed. "It seems you really do prefer Chu Yan's type."
Zuan couldn't help but chuckle: "How can you be jealous of yourself?"
"What do you mean 'myself'? She is her, and I am me. We're not the same person." Pei Mianman puffed out her cheeks. Anyone who had been imprisoned for a period of time and was finally rescued, only to find that their lover had fallen in love with another woman, and the worst part was that the other woman might be some kind of past life of hers, made her furious but unable to vent her anger. Her heart was filled with a strange and indescribable feeling.
“You two are indeed different. I have never treated her as you, much less you as her.” Zuan found it amusing to see two people who looked alike yet had completely opposite personalities.
Hearing him say that, Pei Mianman felt a little better. But then she felt a little guilty that her lover was in a bad mood and she was being temperamental with him. "I heard them talking about that goddess of Wushan. She is indeed a woman who is unforgettable once you see her."
Zuan looked at him strangely: "There's a high chance you're praising yourself."
“I’m so beautiful, and she looks just like me, shouldn’t I compliment her?” Pei Mianman chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in her eyes. She hugged his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. “Tell me your story.”
Feeling the intense pressure on his arm, Zuan remarked that it was indeed quite different from Yao Ji's style: "Didn't they tell you that?"
“What they say is not as convincing as what you, as someone who experienced it firsthand, are definitely missing a lot of important information.” Pei Mianman tilted her small face up, her expressive peach blossom eyes truly captivating.
Zu An then told her about their entire relationship, and Pei Mianman was greatly surprised after listening: "You two didn't sleep together?"
Zuan was speechless: "Is that the point?"
“Of course, that’s not like you at all,” Pei Mianman said with a slightly mischievous expression. “You actually know how to play this kind of pure, spiritual love game.”
Zuan turned his head away, not wanting to talk to her.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry with me anymore," Pei Mianman said, shaking his arm and acting coquettishly. "Didn't you want to reunite with that goddess? What's so difficult about that?"
Zuan was taken aback: "You have a way?"
You know, he and Yao Ji are separated by countless years. He had thought about it for so long but couldn't find a solution. Could it be that she has had some kind of extraordinary encounter recently?
"Brother Zu, it's been a long time since we last met, and today we are finally able to meet again." Pei Mianman had changed her usual charming demeanor; now she stood up straight, and her face was full of otherworldly elegance.
Zuan: "..."
Although it was obvious that Pei Mianman was cosplaying, it had to be admitted that her temperament at this moment was almost exactly the same as that of the Goddess of Wushan.
He was somewhat stunned: "How did you manage to imitate it so perfectly?"
“What do you mean by that, Brother Zu? I’ve always been like this. Now that we’ve reunited, why don’t we go to Wushan together and relive our old dreams?” The “Goddess of Wushan” continued in her cool and aloof tone.
Zuan couldn't help but laugh out loud this time, but Pei Mianman broke down: "Why are you making that face?"
Zu An then explained the other meaning of "going to Wushan together" to her, and Pei Mianman's pink face instantly turned red with embarrassment: "How could there be such nonsense in your hometown? It's really too embarrassing."
Thinking about how she had just spoken so boldly to her while pretending to be aloof, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Zuan pulled her into his arms: "You've acted very well. Have you seen her before or do you have any extra memories?"
Pei Mianman rolled her eyes: "Chu Yan and I are best friends. I can't speak for others, but do you think I don't know what it means to be an ethereal and aloof beauty? And her master, Abbot Yan, is just like her. It would be hard not to learn from her."
When she mentioned the master and apprentice, Zu An's expression softened.
Just then, Xie Daoyun knocked on the door: "Although I really don't want to disturb your reunion, there are some things I need to discuss with Brother Zu."
Pei Mianman pushed her lover away, straightened her clothes, and, making sure there were no flaws, hurriedly said, "No need to be so polite, come in quickly."
Soon, Xie Daoyun, dressed as a shrine maiden, walked in. She glanced at the two of them before saying to Zu An, "Brother Zu, the preparations for sealing the Lord of Slaughter are almost complete. I think it would be better if you participated as well, since it would have a greater deterrent effect on those demons."
"Alright!" Zu'an also knew that those demons were not so willing to retreat, and perhaps some demons were still hoping for a lucky break in the next ten days.
