Zu An thought for a moment and said to Pei Mianman, "I seem to have some connection with that Mikado Beiqing. If we find her and reveal our identities, we might gain another ally."
Pei Mianman was taken aback: "You still have a lover in this era?"
Upon hearing this, all the women turned their heads to look.
Zuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "What are you thinking? I only saw a video of her left behind in the Sealed Land back then. She seemed to know me. Since she was able to find a way to suppress the Lord of Slaughter, she is obviously a friend, not an enemy."
"Know you?" Pei Mianman was a little suspicious, but she seemed to have heard him mention this before, so she didn't press the matter. "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to contact her, so that you can communicate with her as soon as you return from the sea tribe."
Zu An then instructed Jiang Luofu and the others: "You don't need to push yourselves too hard on this trip. That glass hairpin is probably an extremely rare item. It's okay if you can't find it right away. The most important thing is to protect yourselves and not get entangled by demons..."
Jiang Luofu couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, we're not children anymore."
However, it was rare to see him being so tender and caring, and I could feel his deep concern, which warmed my heart.
However, noticing the somewhat puzzled looks in Pei Mianman and Yun Yuqing's eyes, she immediately reverted to her usual aloof demeanor: "Alright, we'll be going now."
"Wait!" Zu An thought for a moment, then took out a large pile of talismans and protective magic items that he and Xie Daoyun had made from his pocket and handed them to each woman. "Keep these for self-defense."
Now he is, after all, the ruler of the world, the de facto ruler of the human race, the demon race, and the sea race. He even plundered the treasure vault of the demon dungeon before, so he naturally has no shortage of magical treasures.
Jiang Luofu and the others did not refuse this time, as having these things around would increase their sense of security.
Before leaving, Pei Mianman hugged Zu An, and the overwhelming sense of pressure from her extraordinary talent made Zu An feel inexplicably at ease.
The two didn't say much; given their relationship, they already understood each other perfectly and didn't need any complicated words.
After sending them away, Zaun found a hidden cave nearby and quickly converted it into a cave dwelling to imprison the demons, including Salami.
Zuan handed the array plate to Soren Shi, teaching her how to control the array while saying, "I have set up a concealment array around this cave. I believe that even the Lord of Slaughter himself will not be able to see anything unusual. I'll have to trouble you to guard this place for a while."
Soren said softly, "Brother Zu and all the sisters are going to carry out countless dangerous missions. I only need to stay here. What hardship is there? Brother Zu, don't worry, I will definitely protect them and wait for you to come back!"
Zuan laughed and said, "Don't underestimate your mission. These demons are very important and may play a key role in the future. Moreover, they are very cunning, so you must not be careless."
Soren Shi smiled and said, "Brother Zu, you have already placed restrictions on them, as well as special sealing formations. Now they can't use their cultivation at all, so it's not difficult for me to guard them by myself."
"That's good." Zu'an also gave her a bunch of magical items for self-defense.
Just as he was about to leave, Sorenshi suddenly called out to him, looking hesitant: "Brother Zu, can I hug you?"
After she finished speaking, her little face turned red, and she was filled with regret. This request was really too abrupt.
Seeing how naturally Sister Pei hugged him, I was so bewitched that I blurted it out.
Ugh, this is so embarrassing. I wonder what Brother Zu thinks of me...
When Zheng She died, Zu An smiled and generously opened his arms to embrace her.
Feeling the other person's delicate body trembling slightly: "Wait for me to come back."
They have experienced several worlds together, and now they are trapped in this fragment of the ancient world, and may not be able to return. Now they are not only friends, but also comrades-in-arms who depend on each other for life and death.
Sensing the fear and confusion in the other person's words, he naturally felt it was his responsibility to help alleviate these negative emotions.
Feeling his warm embrace, the anxiety she had felt from being alone in this unfamiliar place for so long instantly subsided, and she hummed in agreement, "Okay!"
After seeing Zuan off, Sorenshi stood at the cave entrance, gazing longingly in the direction where the other's figure disappeared.
In fact, after spending time together in the demon world, he saw how naturally Pei Mianman, Yun Yuqing, and Zu An got along, and even Jiang Luofu and Ji Xiaoxi had an inexplicable bond with him.
She seemed like an outsider from beginning to end...
From childhood to adulthood, whether it was her beauty, her talent for cultivation, or her noble status, she was always the center of attention and the star wherever she went.
But when she was with Brother Zu, she found herself to be insignificant.
The women around him are all exceptional; they are top-tier in both beauty and ability.
Compared to them, I seem quite ordinary.
She couldn't help but feel disheartened. Brother Zu was so radiant, and the women around him were so outstanding. What did she have to compete with him?
When she returned to the Demon Realm, she had already told herself to face reality.
She was an extremely intelligent woman who knew she needed to sever her emotional ties early on, otherwise she would be left battered and bruised.
It would be great to remain friends with Brother Zu like this; otherwise, if we force things, we might not even be able to stay friends, and it would make things even more ugly.
They had already decided to return to the Demon Clan, but then they learned that Ji Xiaoxi's innate Evil Poison Saint Body needed to find a way to save her in this sealed world.
But she inexplicably came along too.
Yes, I did all this to save Xiaoxi...
She kept reminding herself.
