Chu Changliu never expected that Zhou Ping would come knocking on his door so quickly.
He's in a dilemma: whether he stays or leaves.
Should we just run away?
The moment the idea came to him, Chu Changliu put it into practice.
He turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.
Before he could run far, the Dragon Elephant Sword hummed and blocked his path, completely shutting out his way.
Chu Changliu was taken aback. The person behind him was walking towards him, and he stood still.
"You actually used a weapon, how despicable!" Chu Changliu reached out and grabbed the Dragon Elephant Sword blocking his way, not daring to look back at Zhou Ping.
"Why are you running?" Zhou Ping was almost amused by his words. He reached out and grabbed Chu Changliu's hand, trying to pull him over.
Chu Changliu used all his strength to stand still.
"What are you chasing?" A blush crept onto his face. His hand was grabbed, and he couldn't break free for a moment. He turned his head and shook his hand hard.
I couldn't shake them off.
Zhou Ping, on the contrary, tightened his grip even more.
“If you don’t run, I won’t chase you.” Zhou Ping slowly took two steps forward and walked towards him. Only when the distance between the two of them shortened again did he stand still and quietly look at Chu Changliu, who was getting a little angry.
"If you don't chase after me, I'll..." The two were so close that Chu Changliu reached out and pushed him, "Even if you don't chase after me, I'll still retreat!"
He was mindful of his own reputation and was very skilled in the art of language, referring to his escape as a retreat.
"Why retreat?" Zhou Ping pressed closer and closer until Chu Changliu's back pressed against the Dragon Elephant Sword behind him, at which point he stopped.
"...", Chu Changliu didn't know why he ran away.
But he felt he should run.
Seeing Chu Changliu standing there helplessly, looking blank and lost in thought, Zhou Ping sighed helplessly.
Seeing Chu Changliu's appearance, even he, the one who came to collect the debt, didn't know how to collect it.
"Let me tell you! I am the Lord of the Southern Region, and there is no one within ten thousand miles who can defeat me!"
"If you... if you continue to be so unreasonable and push me further, don't blame me for taking action!" Chu Changliu chose to strike first, and he even shook his fist.
Zhou Ping:...?
Who's being unreasonable here? Does he even know what he's saying?
"If I remember correctly, it seems that after you slept with me... you ran away?" Zhou Ping really couldn't listen to Chu Changliu continue like this.
His words left Chu Changliu speechless, and the eavesdropping servants in the entire temple erupted in a commotion.
Chu Changliu closed his eyes and went all out, "How can it be considered that I slept with you? It was clearly... it was clearly you who slept with me!"
"I...no, you took advantage of me when I was in a vulnerable state, you slept with me while I had lost my memory..." He counted on his fingers, his face growing uglier with each count, until finally, his face was practically steaming. "A total of six hundred and forty-seven times!"
"I didn't even ask you to take responsibility, and you still dare to come and ask me...!" After counting, his hands were trembling slightly. Why so many times? Did he miscalculate?
The eavesdropping servants gaped in shock after hearing it 647 times.
“I remember you were very satisfied…” Zhou Ping continued to speak the truth, and sincerely added, “Except for the first time.”
Temple servants: ⊙▽⊙! Wow!
Chu Changliu felt even more ashamed and wished he could disappear into the ground.
His face flushed crimson, and not just his face, his whole body changed color. "So...so what!"
After saying that, he turned his head and roared, "What are you eavesdropping on? Get out of here, all of you! Can't you see a fight is about to break out? The temple doesn't need anyone here! Get out!"
The attendants bowed and replied, "Yes, my lord."
The attendants were very obedient and wisely dispersed.
"Then why did you come here? Are you going to fight me?" Chu Changliu took a deep breath, secretly calculating his chances of escaping if the two of them started fighting.
Zhou Ping:......
Zhou Ping gave him a complicated look, then leaned closer, "What are you thinking? Why would I hit you?"
"Then what are you here for?" Chu Changliu blinked.
Zhou Ping frowned slightly. "Didn't you tell me to come find you?"
Chu Changliu: ...
That was just an excuse he made. The two places were so far apart, separated by so many worlds. He thought it would take Zhou Ping several thousand years to find them, and he might have given up on the search.
Now that the person in question has found him in less than a year, Chu Changliu is speechless for once.
She looked up at Zhou Ping and happened to gaze into his dark, deep pupils.
Chu Changliu tentatively asked, "So you've come all this way because you want to talk things out with me in person before going back?"
"Yes." Zhou Ping nodded slightly, his right hand gripping Chu Changliu's wrist tightly, refusing to let go. "When are you coming back with me?"
He always speaks his mind, and since he found the person, of course he wanted to bring them back.
"I can't go back for now...for now," Chu Changliu said, avoiding Zhou Ping's gaze.
Zhou Ping's gaze was so direct and focused that it lingered on his face. Even without looking, Chu Changliu knew that Zhou Ping had been watching him the whole time.
Hearing Chu Changliu say that they couldn't go back for the time being, Zhou Ping asked with some doubt, "Why? Did you run into some trouble?"
“I encountered a bunch of them.” Chu Changliu pointed in the direction of Mingluan Palace. “Look, that’s where I usually handle affairs. I made an agreement with another deity before. I would help him manage affairs for a thousand years, and he would go down to the mortal realm… Then when he comes back, it will be his turn to do it, and then I will go down to the mortal realm.”
“A thousand years have passed since I descended to the mortal realm, so it’s time for me to handle the affairs of the Eastern and Southern Regions. I can’t even finish reviewing all the memorials every day,” Chu Changliu said, slightly raising his chin. “I’m very busy.”
"...You've only lived for a little over twenty years in my world, how come it's been a thousand years?" Zhou Ping accurately grasped the key point.
Upon hearing his question, Chu Changliu's expression stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Well... actually, I spent over nine hundred years on the road trying to find a good place to be reincarnated, so they wouldn't be able to find me..." he said, his voice both righteous and self-assured, "Otherwise, how could I possibly be there!"
After all, the world Zhou Ping lived in was not just a hundred thousand miles away from where Chu Changliu lived; there were countless universes in between.
Zhou Ping never expected that Chu Changliu would spend so many years just searching for a place.
"you……"
