Upon hearing the Black Armor General's words, Zu An didn't hesitate and pointed to Qiao Xueying on the other side: "Her, let her go first."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
"I really have to thank you!" Qiao Xueying glared at him fiercely.
"You're not my woman, why should I protect you? Besides, we're enemies, so why not kick you when you're down?" Zu An showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
Qiao Xueying sighed: "That's right, you really don't need to protect me."
Zuan looked like he'd seen a ghost: "Did I hear that right? You actually agreed with what I said for the first time ever?"
Qiao Xueying rolled her eyes: "Isn't that being a jerk? You're not used to me agreeing with you. Do you only feel happy when I disagree with you every time?"
Lying on the stone platform in the middle, Chu Chuyan chuckled to herself. These two always argued fiercely whenever they met; they were truly a pair of bickering lovers.
The black-armored general glanced at Zu'an: "You're much more straightforward than that man just now; you're quite the villain."
“How am I a villain? Look at me, I’m completely devoted to my wife,” Zu’an said, immediately dissatisfied. “Hey, from what you’re saying, did Shi Kun just abandon her? Did he use her as a shield to buy himself time to escape?”
Qiao Xueying frowned: "How did you know? Could it be that you've been hiding in the shadows spying on us?"
“I don’t have that kind of hobby,” Zuan shrugged. “Do I even need to look? I can guess it with a simple guess. Didn’t we see these kinds of plots in TV dramas in my past life?”
"What is a TV series?" Not to mention Qiao Xueying, even Chu Chuyan had never heard of it.
“That’s not important. What’s important is that you should recognize Shi Kun’s true nature by now. People like him value their own lives more than anyone else’s. Let alone a maid like you, if you were in real danger, he would probably abandon even his own father without hesitation,” Zu’an said. “You young girls are so shallow. Just because someone is handsome doesn’t mean he’s a good person. There aren’t many good people in this world who are handsome.”
"Ahem, of course I'm an exception. Someone as handsome, gentle, and kind as me is one of a kind in the whole world," Zuan added after thinking for a moment.
"Stop talking, I'm about to throw up." Qiao Xueying rolled her eyes. "I'm already miserable enough that I'm about to die, so please don't torture me anymore."
"How can you talk like that, little girl?" Zu An said, looking displeased.
At this moment, the black-armored general snorted coldly: "Are you two ever going to stop? Enough with your nonsense, then get on your way. Don't worry, I will take your lives at the same time. You can keep arguing on your way to the Yellow Springs."
With a wave of his hand, two swords floated above their heads, as if they would fall at any moment.
"Ah Zu~" Chu Chuyan's face paled, but she was now unable to move. In fact, even if she were completely unharmed, she would not be a match for this black-armored general.
Qiao Xueying closed her eyes. Ever since Shi Kun used her as a shield, her heart had died. Death was a relief for her.
Just then, Zu An suddenly said, "Brother Zhang Han, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Chu Chuyan, who was not far away, was stunned. Even Qiao Xueying opened her eyes curiously. Who was he talking to?
The two women glanced around instinctively, but there was no one else there.
“Zhang Han…” The black-armored general trembled, and after a long pause, he said in a sighing tone, “It has been a very, very long time since anyone has called me that. I have even forgotten my own name.”
Qiao Xueying, who was standing to the side, was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. This zombie even had a name, and what was even more outrageous was that Zu'an actually knew it.
What's wrong with this world?
Chu Chuyan's beautiful eyes also flashed with a strange light. Zu An had brought her too many surprises these days. He had all sorts of secrets about him, which made her curious. Had she known too little about him before?
"How do you know my name?" Zhang Han turned to look at Zu An, clearly having the same question.
Zuan smiled slightly: "Would you believe me if I said we were friends in a past life?"
He has already activated the "get close to people with his wealth" skill, and another 100,000 taels of silver have evaporated!
Having learned his lesson from dealing with Shi Kun last time, he knew that even if the two of them were forced to become friends, it might not change the other's way of thinking. So he was always careful and dared not be too direct.
"Friends?" Zhang Han was startled, then burst into laughter. "I, Zhang Han, have no friends. I didn't have any before, and I don't have any now!"
Despite saying that, he subconsciously moved the two knives hanging in the air to the side.
Zu An sighed: "You're a classic case of saying one thing but meaning another. Don't you really want to have friends? It must be very lonely to be alone in this desolate ancient tomb all the time, right?"
Zhang Han fell silent, and finally sighed: "Loneliness? For me, time has lost its meaning, so how can I talk about loneliness?"
On the other side, Qiao Xueying and Chu Chuyan looked at each other in bewilderment. The scene before them was truly bizarre. In the depths of this dark underground palace, Zu An was actually having a serious philosophical conversation with a zombie.
After a while, Zhang Han seemed to wake from a dream, his eyes burning with two eerie blue flames as he stared intently at him: "Who exactly are you, and why do you know my name?"
“A woman named Mi Li told me that,” Zuan said, carefully examining the creature and trying to glean some information from its reaction.
"Huh~" Upon hearing his words, a woman's surprised voice suddenly rang out from deep within the underground palace, but her voice was so low that no one else could hear it.
