"Tell me honestly, are you a male fox spirit from the demon race?"
"I'm no longer in Qiuchi. I've gone... never mind, I won't tell you. Maybe we'll bump into each other."
"You jerk! You haven't replied to any of my messages. Are you messing around with some other woman?!"
Upon seeing this, Zuan couldn't help but smile. Clearly, the other party was very happy to hear about Hong Lei's news, and even his tone became much more relaxed.
Her expression immediately darkened. If Yun Jianyue knew about Hong Lei's current situation, she would be heartbroken.
After hesitating for a moment, he typed a message into the jade slip, telling her that he had already met with Hong Lei and that she didn't need to look for him anymore; they could discuss the details when they met.
He worried that Yun Jianyue might do something foolish after learning the truth, so he decided to wait until later to tell her in person.
I just don't know when this information will be delivered to her.
After exiting Yun Jianyue's chat window, he was surprised to find a lot of red dots on the profile pictures of his other female friends, indicating that they had sent many unread messages.
Bi Linglong had a lot of information. At first, she just shared various information about what was happening in the capital with him in a businesslike manner. Zu An could imagine the solemnity and care she showed when she wrote, as if she was worried that others would see these words and guess their relationship. Therefore, all the information was very clear and straightforward.
However, in some of the messages, her true feelings gradually became apparent: "Did you see the message or not? Why haven't you replied?"
Looking at the date, he didn't send any more messages for many days afterward, clearly indicating he was somewhat angry.
The next message wasn't sent until five days later:
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I made a special trip to Yuquan Mountain and asked Shen Xuzi about it. It's true that the transmission of these jade slips is unstable. You may not have seen the message yet."
Zu An chuckled to himself. She really was a little cunning. She was even afraid that he had fooled her back then, so she went to the back mountain of the academy to verify it.
However, after this little incident, Bi Linglong's tone was no longer as awkward as it had been at the beginning; instead, her true feelings gradually began to show.
"The peach blossoms in the palace are all in bloom. When are you coming back? We can go and admire them together then."
"Why can't I receive your messages on this broken jade slip?"
"I'm so bored in the palace all by myself. Not only do I have to fight with that old witch, the Empress Dowager, every day, but my family is also giving me trouble. They seem to be secretly... Never mind, I'll tell you the details when you come back."
"You must have reunited with Madam Yu in the demon realm by now. Are you enjoying yourself in her gentle embrace? Hmph. But Madam Yu is indeed beautiful. If I were a man, I would fall in love with her too."
"I've heard the Little Demon Queen is very beautiful. How does she compare to me?"
"Hmph, the Little Demon Queen has a seductive and fiery nature, so don't fall for her honey trap."
"I'm very uneasy because I haven't heard from you. A few days ago, I even spent a lot of spirit stones to activate the audio-visual mirror, but I still can't contact you. I don't know if you've encountered any danger. Please take care of yourself. The world and the common people are not as important to me as you."
"With your high cultivation level and such a wicked nature, you'll definitely be safe."
"Do you know Princess Wu? She has been secretly inquiring about you several times and seems to care about you a lot. She thinks she is keeping a low profile, but she can't escape my discerning eyes!"
Upon seeing this, Zu'an felt a chill run down his spine. Women's intuition is just too strong; she could even spot the flaw in this.
However, this is not Yun Yuqing's fault. No matter how careful she was, she could not have imagined that Bi Linglong would have any relationship with her, and she inevitably revealed her flaws.
"Recently, I've sensed some undercurrents in the capital. I wonder if it's the Empress Dowager's side or... I hope I'm just overthinking it."
...
As she read on, Zu'an's brows furrowed slightly. At first, her conversation focused more on her longing for her loved ones, but something had clearly happened later, and her topics became more somber. Could there be some unforeseen event in the capital?
Unfortunately, communication is currently interrupted, making it impossible to contact the other party immediately.
He quickly replied on the jade slip, telling her about his recent situation and reassuring her not to worry.
Of course, he also said a lot of sweet words; otherwise, it would be too much of a jerk to only say a few words when the other person sent so much.
Hopefully, these messages can be sent out as soon as communication is restored, lest something unexpected happens on the sea creature's side and they are unable to check or send messages.
Xiao Zhao and You Zhao also sent a lot of messages.
"Brother-in-law, I really want to go to the battlefield. Qinghe can go, but I can't. I feel so ashamed."
"My second sister was even worse. She used this incident to mock me, but I gave her a good beating afterward, and she didn't dare to say another word."
Upon seeing this, Zuan's expression became extremely strange, because he had just seen Xiao Zhao give a different version of events. He switched to Xiao Zhao's chat window, and sure enough, the matter was mentioned there:
"That girl Youzhao was always taking advantage of me, but I finally taught her a lesson and showed her what it meant to be a powerful older sister. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, brother-in-law, for your help. If you hadn't helped me change my aptitude, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for me to defeat her."
Zuan: "..."
I don't know who beat whom up.
The two sisters are quite alike. In their messages, besides expressing their longing for him, they also teased each other about their shortcomings, which made people smile and feel relaxed.
Then he suddenly noticed another message from Xiao Zhao:
