"Is it not okay?" Pei Mianman snorted, but she was still a little concerned and subconsciously touched her face. "Am I ugly?"
Zuan couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pull her into his arms. She was now truly gentle and soft, and it was extremely comfortable to hold her: "If someone who didn't know you well thought you were saying this in Versailles, if you call this ugly, then there's no one good-looking in the whole world."
Pei Mianman bit her lip and said with a half-smile, "What about Chu Yan?"
The two had lived almost their entire lives like husband and wife in the secret realm, and sometimes they really couldn't tell what was real and what was illusion.
Hearing the name Chu Yan now, Zu An felt as if he had been transported to another world, but it also made him realize that everything he was doing now was just a trial.
Seeing Pei Mianman's expectant eyes, Zu An smiled and said, "I've never seen what Chu Yan looked like when she was little, but anyway, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen at this age."
Pei Mianman spat, her eyes sparkling with a charm beyond her years: "You're really cunning."
Seeing her radiant smile, Zu An's heart stirred, and he could no longer suppress the longing he had held for decades, so he slowly kissed her.
Pei Mianman bit her lip and said somewhat guiltily, "No, you're my brother now."
Zuan was speechless for a moment: "You don't actually believe all of this, do you? We're not really siblings."
Pei Mianman blushed and said, "But all of this is so real, it's no different from the outside world. I really admire the person who created this trial ground. They must have extraordinary abilities, like a god in legends."
“It really feels real,” Zuan said with lingering fear. “In my previous life, I almost got trapped in it and couldn’t get out. If I hadn’t accidentally found the pendant you gave me, I probably would have really lost my way.”
He then recounted the final scene of the last trial to her, which moved Pei Mianman deeply.
“Manman, do you know how desperate I was back then? You died in childbirth, and I couldn’t find a way to complete the trial. I could only keep numbing myself, avoiding thinking about it, pretending that I was really Wu Ding, and that the outside world was just a dream. Only in this way could I feel a little better.” Zuan’s tone was low.
Pei Mianman reached out and gently stroked his face, tenderly embracing him: "Auntie, I thought it would be painful for me to die long ago, but I didn't expect that it is the living who are truly suffering. If we were in each other's shoes, I definitely wouldn't have been able to endure it... Fortunately, everything is over now. Let's work together to overcome this trial."
Judging from the current situation, they should have passed the previous test. Although it is unclear what the previous test was about, they have obviously made a good start.
“Manman, with you by my side, I feel more motivated and at ease.” Zu An still shudders when he recalls the circumstances of Pei Mianman’s death in his previous life.
Pei Mianman blushed slightly: "Me too."
Looking at the youthful yet stunning face before him, Zu An could no longer resist and kissed her directly.
Pei Mianman and he had been through life and death together, and now that they were reunited, she was extremely excited and responded with great emotion.
The two embraced each other passionately, using tremendous force, as if trying to meld the other into their own bodies, as if afraid that the other might suddenly disappear.
"Shame on you, you're actually eating each other's saliva?" A childish voice came from behind.
Zuan and Pei Mianman separated as if electrocuted. Turning around, they found that Sancai had already woken up and was staring at them with wide eyes, pointing at her face with her fingers as she spoke.
Pei Mianman secretly pinched Zu An: "It's all your fault! It's so embarrassing."
Zuan was both amused and exasperated. "What does this have to do with me? It's all the fault of that third wheel next to me!"
"Sancai, you've misunderstood. We just hugged casually. I hug you all the time, don't I?" Zuan hurriedly explained.
"Do you think I'm a child who's easy to fool?" Sancai blinked her eyes. "I clearly saw it just now."
"Uh..." Zu An was also in a dilemma. Their identities were quite sensitive. If this little girl's innocent words were to spread, it would be a huge scandal.
Although reputation doesn't matter in this world of trials, social death is no big deal.
But he was worried that it would affect whether he could pass the final trial.
So he could only patiently squat down next to the little girl and ask, "Sancai, are your older brother and sister good to you?"
Sancai nodded: "My older brother and sister are the best to me."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. Since the siblings had a good relationship, things would be easier: "What happened today is a little secret between the three of us. You keep it a secret for us, and we'll play with you every day and buy you delicious food."
“Great!” Sancai’s eyes lit up. “But I don’t want anything delicious, I want something else.”
Seeing that she agreed, Zu'an smiled and said, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you."
Sancai blinked and pointed at his mouth, saying, "I want to eat your saliva too. It must be delicious for my sister to steal it."
Zuan: "..."
Pei Mianman: "..."
Zuan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "This won't do. This is the most intimate behavior between a man and a woman. We are siblings, we can't do these things."
"Aren't we siblings close enough?" Sancai tilted her head, looking utterly bewildered. "Besides, if my sister can do it, why can't I? I won't do it! You're bullying me..."
The more she talked, the sadder she became, and finally she burst into tears.
Zu An looked at Pei Mianman for help. What should he do now?
