The reason he let go so easily was not only because he trusted Xue'er, but also because Zu'an had just realized that she had held back with her sword, indicating that she had no ill intentions towards him.
Seeing that he had let go, the maid hurriedly ran over and shielded the mysterious woman behind her, keeping a wary eye on Zu An while asking from behind, "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." The mysterious woman rubbed her throat, clearly feeling some pain from being gripped so tightly.
Nan Xun hurriedly ran to her side and hid, looking at Zu An with some fear, clearly still shaken by what had just happened.
The mysterious woman gently pushed the maid aside and looked at Zu An's back, saying, "Let me treat your wound first."
As she spoke, she reached out and beckoned, and the thing that resembled a flying sword immediately transformed into a green light and flew back into her hand, turning back into soft feathers.
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "Your thing is quite advanced, it can be both soft and hard."
The mysterious woman sighed: "Your body is harder than I expected."
I thought that last sword strike would severely injure the opponent, but it only barely penetrated the skin.
Nan Xun chuckled softly, her expression extremely strange.
The mysterious woman was taken aback at first, then realized that their conversation seemed to have some ambiguity.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Nanxun, go and bandage Young Master Zu's wounds."
This girl dared to laugh at her; she deserves some punishment.
"Ah!" Nan Xun looked conflicted. The other person had just grabbed her ankle casually and almost burned it. She was instinctively scared.
However, she could not disobey her master's orders, so she could only awkwardly approach Zuan from behind. But the closer she got to him, the more she felt that he was like a sun, making her extremely uncomfortable.
The mysterious woman was somewhat surprised: "Young master's cultivation technique is quite special, it can actually restrain Nanxun's existence."
Zuan put away the Primordial Chaos Scripture, and Nanxun immediately felt the burning sensation on the other person disappear. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and begin to bandage him.
Actually, this injury is nothing to Zu'an. With his body's strong regenerative ability, it will heal naturally in no time. However, he doesn't need to expose this to outsiders.
“You haven’t answered my question yet.” Zuan stared intently at the mysterious woman.
“My name is Kong Nanwu,” the mysterious woman said, then hesitated for a moment before continuing, “As you may have guessed, young master, I am a demon, in human terms.”
Zuan wasn't surprised and looked at the maid beside her: "What race is she?"
"Huhu is a girl from the fox clan." Kong Nanwu affectionately patted the maid's head, clearly pleased with the maid's loyal reaction just now.
Zuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to be a disciple or grand-disciple of Daji. He wondered how this little girl would react if he released Daji.
He certainly wouldn't be so reckless, and looking at Kong Nanwu, he asked, "Miss Kong, are you also a fox?"
Kong Nanwu shook her head: "No, I am from the Feather Clan."
"The Feathered Clan?" Zu An was a little dizzy. One moment it was the Demon Clan, the next the Fox Clan, and now the Feathered Clan. Suddenly, he remembered the other party's surname, and a flash of inspiration struck him. "So you're a peacock!"
Kong Nanwu: "..."
She took a deep breath to calm herself down: "While you're not entirely wrong in a certain sense, it still sounds a bit infuriating."
Zuan chuckled awkwardly: "No offense intended. How do you know Xue'er?"
The two seem to have a pretty good relationship.
Kong Nanwu replied, "Because we both belong to the Feather Clan, we tend to have closer interactions."
Zuan had a headache: "What's with all that racial classification stuff you guys have? It's giving me a headache."
Kong Nanwu hesitated for a moment before explaining, "These aren't really secrets, so it's fine to tell you, young master. Your human race refers to the Feathered Race, Beast Race, Demon Race, Sea Race, Dragon Race, and so on as the Demon Race. But within our community, the Demon Race in a narrow sense only refers to the Feathered Race, Beast Race, and a few other less common categories. Calling the Demon Race, Sea Race, and Dragon Race the Demon Race isn't really appropriate. Of course, the human race is powerful, so we have to stick together and being referred to as such isn't a big problem."
"And within the Feathered Race and the Beast Race, there are many sub-races..."
Zuan nodded in understanding. Although the cat girl, rabbit girl, and fox spirit were all beastmen, they were definitely different races under the beastmen.
Kong Nanwu continued, "Among the Feather Clan, there are three royal families: the Golden-Winged Roc, the Peacock, and the Elves. Sister Xue'er is an Elf, so we are quite familiar with each other."
Zuan realized: "Peacocks, so that feather was plucked from your tail?"
No wonder it's so dazzling. When it spreads out, it feels like you're being stared at by countless eyes. Isn't that just a peacock's tail feather?
But the animal documentary says that only male peacocks have beautiful tail feathers, so this one in front of me can't be male, can it?
"You lecherous scoundrel!" The fox-clan maidservant beside him glared at Zu An and huffed angrily.
Huhu's anger level increased by 215...
Kong Nanwu said calmly, "I'm sorry I can't answer such a private question, young master."
Zu An thought to himself, "Doesn't what you're saying indirectly reveal some problems?"
To avoid an awkward atmosphere, he changed the subject, saying, "Nanxun is also from your demon clan? I didn't expect you to be so capable that you were able to arrange for her to be a concubine in the Qi Prince's mansion."
You must know that King Qi is the second most powerful person in the human race, and his bedmate is actually a member of the demon race. Who knows how much confidential information he has gathered.
