Just then, a fragrant breeze blew by, and Qiu Honglei had already arrived beside Zu An, pulling him aside to hide.
Pei Mianman, who was on the other side, also noticed the situation and quickly dodged to the side.
Immediately afterwards, the countless ice arrows seemed to recover, completely covering the large area that had just been there, creating a saturation attack.
Zuan was astonished. Even with his current physical strength, if he were to take these ice arrows head-on, he would probably be riddled with holes.
"Holy Maiden!" Upon seeing Qiu Honglei intervene to save him, Bing Sanren immediately became anxious.
Qiu Honglei raised her hand to stop him from continuing, then turned to look at Zu An: "Are you alright?"
The other independent fighters were about to rush over, but seeing the Holy Maiden standing to the side, they hesitated to make a move.
Smelling her sweet fragrance, Zu An couldn't help but feel refreshed: "With you personally saving me, how could I possibly be in any trouble? But in this situation, aren't you afraid I'll take you hostage?"

Zuan muttered "demon" under his breath before saying, "I'm a person who always distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. You just saved me, so how could I repay kindness with enmity?"
Qiu Honglei smiled radiantly: "It seems I was right about you after all."
Zu An's gaze fell on the lantern in her hand: "Your magical artifact is quite impressive. What is its origin?"
For a fleeting moment, it felt like time had stopped; this lantern is truly mysterious.
"It's a secret. I remember you used to have a catchphrase, something like, 'Secrets make women more womanly.'" Qiu Honglei blinked, revealing a mischievous smile.
Zuan was taken aback, not expecting this woman to put her knowledge to use so cleverly and actually utter Vermouth's classic line.
Just then, Pei Mianman's dissatisfied voice came from not far away: "You surnamed Zu, that's enough! We're risking our lives here, and you're over there flirting with a woman?"
Zuan: "..."
Qiu Honglei smiled and said, "It seems someone is jealous. Let's get back to business."
Then her expression turned serious: "You should surrender."
