Zu An thought she must have forgotten about the "Primordial Chaos Scripture", so he tentatively asked, "Do you remember how I was injured?"
"Of course I remember, you were injured while saving me... wait?" Qiao Xueying suddenly froze. "Who injured you? I can't remember."
Chu Chuyan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but gently press the sides of her forehead, clearly feeling that she had forgotten something.
Zuan laughed: "Of course, he was injured by those undead and these terracotta warriors."
"You wiped out those undead legions and terracotta warriors?" Chu Chuyan was somewhat surprised. Those were two hundred thousand undead, and those terracotta warriors were no pushovers either. "How did you do that?"
"Want to know? Call me your darling husband and I'll tell you." Mi Li left him with a mess, and Zu An couldn't think of a suitable reason, so he could only make up this joke.
Chu Chuyan spat and turned her face away, ignoring him completely.
"Let's go outside first. It's more important to heal Xue'er's injuries first." Zu An said as he picked up Qiao Xueying, who was sitting against the stone wall.
"Put me down." Qiao Xueying was lifted up in his arms, and her face, which had been pale and bloodless due to her injuries, instantly turned red.
"Don't get excited, or the wound will reopen," Zuan reminded him. "You gave me the most precious thing in your life, so it's only right that I take you to get treatment."
"You do have a conscience." Qiao Xueying thought about it and agreed. She had given him half her life's worth, so it was only right for him to hug her. Besides, the two of them had hugged quite a few times in the seal.
Zuan had said that on purpose to test whether she had forgotten these things, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing her answer.
Only Chu Chuyan remained, looking utterly astonished. The most precious thing?
Is there even a question about what a woman's most precious possession is in her lifetime?
What's going on with these two?
He was with me just now... and then turned around and talked to Xue'er?
Although she had previously betrothed Xue'er to him as a concubine, why does it feel so strange now?
Zu An carried Qiao Xueying ahead, saying, "Why are you so light? You should eat more meat. Eating sunflower seeds all day won't help you grow."
"I don't like eating meat, and besides, sunflower seeds are delicious." Qiao Xueying snorted, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
“I almost forgot, you’re a tree spirit,” Zuan teased.
"You're a tree demon, your whole family are tree demons!" Qiao Xueying suddenly went berserk.
...
Seeing the two still bickering as before, the only difference being that the tension had eased, Chu Chuyan smiled slightly at first, but then froze, realizing that she couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Looking at the backs of those two people in front of me, what's with that strong sense of awkwardness?
"How exactly did you eliminate those undead?" Qiao Xueying asked quietly.
Zu An laughed and said, "I explained the facts and reasoned with them, and they also felt that living in this form was not good, so they all voluntarily disappeared into the world and went to pursue their next life."
Qiao Xueying snorted: "Fine, don't say if you don't want to."
Zuan shrugged. He wasn't entirely lying; the undead were indeed fooled by Mi Li's "reasoning"...
Suddenly a white shadow flashed by, and Chu Chuyan had already run ahead.
Noticing their puzzled looks, she coldly replied, "There are still quite a few zombie warriors on the upper floors. I'll clear the way for you."
"Actually, it's not necessary. A man like me with an innate aura of dominance will cause those zombies to automatically avoid me." Zu'an carried the Tai'a sword on his back. Mi Li had mentioned before that the Tai'a sword had a suppressive effect on the terracotta warriors here, and it would be even less of a problem for the lower-level zombies on the upper level.
Chu Chuyan: "..."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
This guy can't live without bragging.
As the group walked up to the next floor, the zombie warriors, who had been wandering around, turned around and surrounded them as if they were sharks smelling blood.
As soon as Chu Chuyan drew her longsword, a wave of frost spread out, freezing the zombies into ice sculptures before they even got close.
Zu An was astonished: "Wife, your cultivation level is getting higher and higher. What grade are you at now?"
"I guess I'm at the peak of the sixth rank. I have to thank the Illusory Lotus you gave me to take before..." She paused here, turned around and looked at him with curiosity. Her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but then she suddenly remembered something, blushed, and ultimately did not ask.
Qiao Xueying, however, didn't hold back and asked directly, "By the way, you were clearly not good at that, so why are you suddenly good again?"

I had insomnia most of the night last night, and I'm not feeling well today. I'm not sure when the second update will be. I'll let you know in the group when I'm done writing. You can also check it tomorrow.
