Zuan hadn't expected her to react so strongly, and quickly flicked her wrist, pulling back to create enough distance: "Are you crazy?"
Fireworks didn't pursue her further, but instead looked at her coldly: "How do you know all this?"
“When I entered this trial, the God of Death told me this,” Zaun said, scrutinizing her. “He said you were also a pitiful person. What made you make such a great sacrifice?”
"What a joke! He himself died and vanished, he was clearly the most pitiful one!" Fireworks sneered. "As for me, it's not your place to pity me. If you talk to me about these things again, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, she put down her skirt, finished washing her wound, and continued on her way.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. The other party was so sensitive, it was clear that the incident from back then was a taboo for her. Only when she was willing to talk to him about these things would she have truly opened her heart and treated him as one of her own.
"How many years have you been the gatekeeper of that forbidden area?"
"None of your business?"
"It's obviously a very long time. Isn't the person lonely?"
"Heh, have you forgotten my abilities? I have countless avatars, and I can create a country at will. How could I be lonely?"
"But in the end, it's all just you alone. Amidst the noise and bustle, won't you feel even more lonely?"
"You brat, do you want a beating today?"
"Since we have nothing to do on the way, let's just chat."
Fireworks suddenly turned around: "Since we're going to chat, why don't we talk about your past?"
"No problem, what do you want to know?" Zuan smiled, his white teeth looking very sunny.
Fireworks snorted: "How many wives do you have?"
Zuan: "..."
To my utter surprise, this was the first thing they were concerned about.
However, he still replied, "I only have one wife by proper channels, but I have many other close female friends."
He suddenly became somewhat lost in thought. In fact, apart from Chu Yan, the ancient mermaid queen later became the holy maiden of the Chang family, and their wedding ceremony could be considered as a marriage ceremony...
Fireworks suddenly asked, "Is the one who looks like Tingxue your legal wife?"
Zuan's expression was somewhat strange: "No, she is my wife's master."
"Oh?" Fireworks, who was initially a little angry about the other party's question, suddenly became interested upon hearing this. "Tell me what happened?"
Zuan was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that gossip was indeed the nature of living beings, even such a powerful being was no exception.
However, he also wanted to ease the tension between the two sides, so he didn't mind sharing some information first. He told the story of how Yan Xuehen had come to deal with his pursuers in order to end his disciple's worldly ties, how he escaped, and how the two of them ended up together by chance.
Fireworks listened with a variety of expressions, then suddenly asked, "Did she suddenly show mercy because she used that 'unbreakable bond' skill you mentioned last time?"
Zuan chuckled sheepishly, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. I had no choice but to resort to such a despicable act back then."
"It's not exactly despicable," Fireworks laughed. "In a life-or-death struggle, of course you have to use every means possible. That's your skill, it would be foolish not to use it."
But as he spoke, his expression suddenly changed: "You didn't secretly use this skill on me, did you?"
Zuan said irritably, "I already answered you before, I haven't used it. If I were to use it against you, would I tell you in advance that I have this skill?"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's just a ploy to get you to back down." Fireworks sneered twice.
"So, do you think you've fallen in love with me?" Zuan asked directly.
Fireworks was stunned for a moment. Although she had previously clamored for him to become one of her male concubines, it was only because she had spent some time with him and had a good impression of him, that he was slightly different from other men.
As for talking about love, with someone like her, how could there be such a thing as love?
Zuan then said, "That skill isn't omnipotent either. Xuehen and I didn't actually get together because of that skill. A lot of things happened later, and it was a combination of coincidences that brought us together. So you don't need to worry about that."
Fireworks was relieved: "That's for the best. Let me be clear from the start: if you dare to use that skill on me, even if I really fall in love with you, I will tear you to pieces, and I will kill all your confidantes one by one."
Zuan's expression also turned cold: "Don't flatter yourself, I have no interest in spiders."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He had shown enough goodwill in order to facilitate better cooperation between the two, but the other party kept threatening him, even those around him. So he decided not to play along.
"A spider?" Yan Hua was instantly furious. If her abilities weren't currently restricted, she probably would have shown the other party the terror of a spider on the spot.
Anger from the fireworks: +444 +444 +444...
Not long after the two parted, Zu'an noticed footsteps behind him again and frowned: "What are you doing here again?"
Fireworks, however, smiled broadly and said, "Don't be so stingy. I was just worried about falling into your trap."
Zuan frowned. The other person spoke in the same girlish tone that Yan Hua had used at the beginning: "Which one is your true personality? Won't you get a mental breakdown from changing like this?"
"I'm not the kind of person with weak willpower. Besides, these are all part of my true personality." Fireworks smiled. "Which aspect of my personality do you prefer?"
"I only like sincerity." Zuan couldn't tell which of the other person's personalities were genuine and which were fake, nor did he want to spend time trying to figure it out.
"I've already offered you my position as my male concubine, isn't that sincere enough? You know how many men in the world would love to be me but wouldn't even give me a second glance," Fireworks ran to his side, "Aren't you really going to consider it? With me, you can experience all the women in the world. If you want, I can completely transform into any of them."
Hmph, brat, wait till I make you fall head over heels in love with me, then I'll dump you and see if you're still so smug.
Zuan turned around and stared at her: "Don't you know the way to the Tomb of the Living Dead?"
Fireworks' smile froze instantly: "So clueless about romance, how do you manage to win the hearts of so many women?"
"Because we exchange sincerity for sincerity."
Fireworks scoffed, "That's just a simp's self-deception. I don't believe you haven't encountered a woman who deceived your feelings."
Zuan shook his head, too lazy to waste words with her.
Fireworks chattered and chattered along the way, and the two seemed to have returned to the time when they first met.
The two continued their journey for half a month before finally arriving at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
To their surprise, there were many Mongolian warriors on the outskirts of Zhongnan Mountain.
From the conversation among the Mongolian warriors, it was roughly learned that their prince had heard of a peerless beauty in the Zhongnan Mountains, and thus came here hoping to win her favor.
