Yu Yanluo didn't take his praise to heart. She knew that she had heard countless more flattering compliments over the years: "Your growth rate is also surprising to me. The last time I saw you, you were struggling to fight a few bandits from Black Wind Stronghold. I didn't expect that in just a few months, you would be able to fight against a peak ninth-rank expert."
Zuan chuckled: "I remember you said last time that if I wanted to be your man, I'd have to wait a few more years. Now that I'm growing at this rate, could you shorten that time a bit?"
Yu Yanluo's calm and collected demeanor finally crumbled, a faint blush rising to her jade-like face as she glared at him reproachfully: "You rascal..."
Zuan had to admit that even when such a beauty was angry, she was still so beautiful. However, he had been raised to a certain threshold by all sorts of stunning beauties, so he quickly recovered and said sullenly, "Who told you to be so ungrateful before!"
"I'm ungrateful?" Yu Yanluo spread her hands, her five fingers long and delicate, truly like they were carved from white jade. "Give it back to me."
"What is that?" Zu An was taken aback.
“My jade pendant,” Yu Yanluo said sternly, “is so you won’t take it around and deceive people, saying things like I’m in love with you and this is a token of our love for you.”
Even though Zuan's skin is thicker than a city wall, he was still incredibly embarrassed when his boast was directly exposed.
However, he reacted quickly, immediately switching from defense to offense: "You really are ungrateful! Last time I saved you, you gave me this jade pendant and said you wanted to repay me. But when I went to the Yu family in the city to look for you, you were nowhere to be found. Now that I've finally found you, you want to take the jade pendant back?"
Yu Yanluo explained, "A lot happened in Mingyue City back then, and I had to leave, so I didn't have a chance to thank you. But I've already made it up to you later."
"What did you compensate me for?" Zu'an asked, somewhat puzzled.
A faint smile appeared in Yu Yanluo's starry eyes: "Otherwise, why do you think I was able to keep my life under the Emperor's control?"
At this moment, in the Qi King's mansion, the Qi King looked at his son, who had been hacked to pieces and looked like charred charcoal, with a gloomy face: "Who did this!"

I'm so tired all day long. Is there a life where you don't have to do anything but still make a fortune?
I really want to find someone like Yu Yanluo and tell her, "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore!"
