Zu An thought to himself that his cheap wife was really too kind-hearted, but he still praised her: "Wife, you are truly beautiful inside and out, you are simply the most perfect fairy in the world."
Qiao Xueying glared at him resentfully, "Miss is perfect, it's just a pity she married a guy like you. It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"
Zuan said dismissively, "I've already told you that you have long hair but short brains. Do you know that cow dung can give flowers more nutrients and make them more beautiful? In my opinion, being stuck in cow dung is the greatest luck for a flower."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
"Oh, what a coincidence! We actually ran into Miss Chu here." Just then, a hearty laugh came from afar. The group turned around and saw Shi Kun walking towards them with several followers.
It must be said that, compared to those crooked and deformed people around him, this guy really did look dashing and debonair.
However, the more handsome he was, the more Zuan wanted to beat him up. He thought it was enough that there was such a handsome guy like himself in the world, but there was another one who was close to him. It was really outrageous!
Upon seeing him, Qiao Xueying's expression changed. Having failed several missions, she feared the young master was utterly disappointed in her. However, her greater worry was what would happen if the young master and young lady clashed later.
Chu Chuyan glanced at Shi Kun indifferently: "Why is Young Master Shi here?"
Shi Kun smiled slightly: "I was just exploring this secret realm and ended up here. It's really my luck to meet Miss Chu."
Throughout the entire process, he stared intently at Chu Chuyan, completely ignoring Zu An standing to the side.
"It's probably your misfortune to have run into me." Chu Chuyan glanced at the followers beside him, including two fourth-rank and five third-rank. Many of them she had never seen in the academy before, and she didn't know how the Shi family had managed to get them into the secret realm.
"Miss Chu is joking." Although Shi Kun smiled, he felt a chill in his heart. Xue'er's group was indeed useless, failing time and time again. Now that Zu An and Chu Chuyan had joined forces, killing him would not be so easy.
"Let's talk to Young Master Shi again after we leave the secret realm. We need to continue our exploration." Chu Chuyan turned and left. Under normal circumstances, she was not afraid of Shi Kun and his group. However, she had been injured in the battle with Wu Di, a sixth-rank warrior, on the arena. Theoretically, the injury should not have been that serious. But for some reason, her injury just wouldn't heal.
Shi Kun's strength should be no less than his own, and he also has Xue'er, a fifth-rank cultivator, by his side, along with his other followers. Under these circumstances, he would inevitably suffer some losses when facing them.
“Miss Chu, please wait,” Shi Kun hurriedly called out. “The secret realm is now full of strange phenomena, which is much more dangerous than we imagined. Why don’t we travel together and take care of each other?”
"No need," Chu Chuyan said calmly, leaving behind only an elegant and refined silhouette.
"Don't you have any sense? Go away and don't disturb our time together as a couple." Zu An waved at Shi Kun with a look of disgust, then hurriedly chased after him.
Watching the two figures disappear, Shi Kun's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists in his sleeves.
You surnamed Zu, your smugness won't last long!
Shi Kun's anger level increased by 512!
After catching up with Chu Chuyan, Zu'an asked with a grin, "Wife, why did you appear to save me when I was in the most danger? Were you worried about me and secretly following behind to protect me?"
"I'm not that bored," Chu Chuyan said calmly. "I ran into Ji Xiaoxi earlier and learned from her that you were in danger, so I came to check on you."
"Is Xiaoxi alright?" Zuan couldn't help but ask. He had been worried about her safety all this time. Although he should have lured the zombies away, such a cute little girl in this dangerous secret realm always made him worry.
“She’s fine, except she twisted her ankle in her haste to come for help.” Chu Chuyan paused and couldn’t help but ask, “Judging from how anxious she was, you two don’t seem to be just ordinary friends.”
"You figured it out so quickly?" Zuan laughed. "I'm not exaggerating when I say your husband is incredibly charming. He's a heartbreaker for beautiful girls, a killer for housewives, and a nemesis for widows... Any woman who spends time with me will inevitably fall in love with me. Hey, don't go!"
Chu Chuyan snorted: "Then why hasn't Xue'er fallen for you?"
Zuan replied, "Don't be fooled by her current look of wanting to kill me. This is what they call a love-hate relationship. Love and hate are often separated by a fine line. Who knows, she might suddenly fall in love with me at some point."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
"Wife, don't be jealous. No matter how many women fall in love with me in the future, the position of the empress will always be yours," Zu'an assured, patting his chest.
Chu Chuyan couldn't help but laugh: "You always have this strange confidence about you."
“Of course, how can a man be without confidence?” Zuan didn’t think anything of it.
Chu Chuyan was too lazy to argue with him and looked at his chest: "What happened to this wound? Did Xue'er do it?"
"She doesn't have that ability; it was another group of Shi Kun's men who did it." Zu An roughly recounted the hunting and counter-hunting in the woods earlier.
Even with her aloof nature, Chu Chuyan couldn't help but be surprised: "A high-level fourth-rank, two mid-level fourth-rank, and a low-level fourth-rank were chasing you, and you still managed to kill them?"
"Impressive, isn't it!" Zuan raised an eyebrow, his face beaming with undisguised smugness.
