Chapter 2393: Murmurings of Evil
Zu An thought for a bit before saying to Pei Mianman, “Yumen Beiqing seems to share some kind of relationship with me. If you find her and tell her who you are, we might end up gaining another ally.”
Pei Mianman was stunned. “You even have a lover in this era?”
When they heard that, all of the women turned to look at him.
Zu An wiped the sweat from his forehead. “What in the world are you thinking? I only saw an image she left behind in the sealed land in the past. She seemed to have recognized me. Since she could think of a way to subdue the Lord of Slaughter, she's clearly a friend, and not an enemy.”
“Recognized you?” Pei Mianman was a bit skeptical, but she seemed to have heard him mention that before, so she couldn't keep pushing him. She said, “Don’t worry, I'll definitely find a way to contact her. That way, you can talk to her as soon as you return from the Ocean races' territory.”
Zu An looked at Jiang Luofu and the others. “Please be careful and don't push yourselves. The Brilliant Pinflower is an extremely rare plant, so it’s fine if we don’t find it immediately. What’s most important is your own safety. You absolutely can't let monsters take advantage of you…”
“Stop worrying already. We aren’t little children,” Jiang Luofu couldn't help but say with a smile. It wasn’t often that she got to see Zu An flustered. She couldn't help but feel warm when she sensed his strong concern. However, when she saw Pei Mianman and Yun Yuqing’s suspicious looks, she immediately recovered her usual coldness. “Alright, we’ll leave first.”
“Wait!” Zu An thought to himself for a bit, and then gave each of the women a huge pile of talismans he'd made with Xie Daoyun and other defensive treasures. “Keep these things on you to protect yourselves.” He was now the lord of the world, the one who held authority over the humans, fiends, and Ocean races. He had even cleaned out the underground city’s warehouse, so he didn’t lack magic artifacts at all.
Jiang Luofu and the others didn’t refuse him. It would indeed be much safer with these things to protect them.
