Zuan: "..."
He finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Your Majesty, you can't target someone just because you're jealous of their big breasts, can you?"
She seemed to have no patience for Pei Mianman throughout the journey, urging him to do it several times, and this time she even wanted to kill him.
Mi Li sneered repeatedly: "What a joke, would I be jealous of her?"
"Isn't that right?" Zuan rolled his eyes.
"Of course not! Although..." Mi Li's tone suddenly softened, "Although her breasts are... bigger than mine, am I the kind of person who is jealous of talent and ability?"
Zuan chuckled at this.
Mi Li snorted, clearly having calmed down by now: "You just tried it yourself, and only by breaking the skeletons possessed by these Kuman Thong can they be made to leave. Now that this big-breasted girl is possessed, we can only deal with her in the same way."
Zuan did not answer, but instead kept trying to circle around behind Pei Mianman and stab the Kumanthong on her neck with his sword.
Unfortunately, Pei Mianman was also very agile, giving him no chance to get behind her. Even if he couldn't dodge occasionally, Guman Tong's body, which was impervious to blades and stones and water and fire, could withstand a few blows from the Tai'a sword without much trouble.
On the contrary, Zu An was always hesitant to act rashly, fearing that he might hurt Pei Mianman, and ended up almost being hurt by her several times.
Mi Li's dissatisfied voice came again: "Although this big-breasted girl's black flames don't harm you much, she is, after all, a sixth-grade cultivator. Her martial arts skills and combat experience are naturally superior to those of someone like you who only started out halfway through. Originally, you could barely handle her with your bunch of random skills, but now you're reluctant to hurt her. As a result, she can attack without any scruples. With the balance shifting, it won't be long before you die on the spot."
"Of course I know all this, but how could I possibly hurt her!" Zuan retorted angrily. "If you don't have any constructive suggestions, then shut up."
Mi Li: "..."
After a while, Zuan noticed that no anger points had been added to his account, and asked curiously, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry?" Mi Li's voice was quite calm at this moment.
"Weren't you just yelling at Da Manman to kill her?" Zu An asked.
Mi Li said coldly, "I just wanted to test whether you have the potential to be a ruler. Unfortunately, you don't. You can't sever your emotions and desires, nor can you sacrifice others to fulfill your own needs."
Zuan: "Even if you have great power and high status, what's the point if you have to sever your feelings and sacrifice your loved ones?"
Mi Li sighed, as if some past events were stirring in her heart: "I don't know whether to call you naive or wise. Many beings whose cultivation and status far surpass yours cannot see this point."
Zuan muttered, "wise is also an insult."
He then asked, "Why don't you seem particularly disappointed knowing I lack the aura of a king?"
Mi Li's expression was a half-smile: "I don't need to rely on you to conquer the world, so why should I be disappointed? On the contrary, given our current situation, I hope you can always maintain a kind and simple heart. Even now, with your life hanging by a thread, you can't bear to lay a hand on this big-breasted girl, so I suppose you won't let me down in the future."
Zuan said dejectedly, "You seem to have a persecution complex. I remember you tested me before."
"There's no harm in trying more, anyway, I'm bored out of my mind all day long." Mi Li's lips curled up slightly, clearly in a good mood.
"I don't think you're that clever either. This kind of testing might not reveal my true feelings. What if I'm just putting on an act for you?" Zu'an couldn't help but complain. "You've already been fooled once. I didn't expect that after all these years, you would still trust people so easily."
Mi Li was taken aback. She had never thought about this question before, and now that he said it, she realized that she had indeed been a bit foolish.
At this moment, Zuan's voice finally became anxious: "You've tried and tested me, now you can tell me how to rescue Da Manman, right?"
At this moment, Pei Mianman's attacks became increasingly fierce. Coupled with the siege of the skeleton warriors controlled by the other Kumanthong, even with his Sunflower Illusion technique, Zuan still suffered several injuries.
Mi Li shook her head: "Although I was just testing her, I wasn't lying. I really don't know any other way besides killing her."
Zu An felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He touched the pendant hanging around his neck, and thinking of Pei Mianman's smiling face along the way, he gritted his teeth: "There must be a way. I must save her."
Just then, a melodious and clear singing voice suddenly rang out in the distance. The voice was like a nightingale singing in a valley, crisp and beautiful, and it was obviously the voice of a young girl.
However, in this eerie and gloomy environment, it is hard to imagine that a normal girl could exist.
Moreover, there seemed to be something strange mixed in with the singing. It sounded to Zuan like the siren's song in some games from his previous life—beautiful yet dangerous.
The skeleton warriors who were attacking Zaun, including Pei Mianman, all stopped their actions. The Kumanthong behind them tilted their heads and listened carefully to the melodious singing. Their originally fierce expressions gradually became peaceful, and finally, the corners of their mouths turned up, turning into the innocent smile of an ordinary baby.
"Giggle~"
A group of Kuman Thong jumped off their hosts with smiles, then crawled on their hands and feet toward the direction from which the singing was coming.
The headless skeleton warriors suddenly lost their strength, scattered and fell to the ground, turning back into lifeless white bones.
Pei Mianman's body went limp, and she fell to the side.
Zu An rushed over to support her: "Manman, how are you feeling?"
