Chapter 2620: Reunion
The other ladies reined in their teasing smiles and solemnly replied, “All right.”
They had first arrived in this ancient spacetime fragment before being transported into the even older Celestial Court world. So many things had happened that it felt as if they had already lived a lifetime.
Only Ji Xiaoxi was hesitant. “What about my little aunt?”
Zu An patted her head and consoled her, “Don’t worry, I checked with Houtu. Big sister principal isn’t in danger. This is a fortuitous encounter for her.”
That lessened Ji Xiaoxi’s worry.
The others asked Zu An about how his trip to the ocean had gone, so Zu An shared the story with them. In the meantime, the other ladies dragged Pei Mianman aside and asked her if Zu An had encountered any other beauties in the ocean.
Pei Mianman immediately thought of Princess Ni Huang, but she decided against revealing that. “No, his heart is too hurt to romance anyone else.”
She figured it wasn’t a lie. For instance, the Peacock Princess had visited the Dragon Palace several times in search of Zu An, but the latter had avoided her by seeking refuge in the Netherworld. He probably doesn’t want her to become fixated on him.
The Peacock Princess had figured out his intentions after missing him several times and spent days crying in the Dragon Palace. She'd looked so pitiful that some from the Ocean races secretly tried to speak up on her behalf. However, Zu An had still refused to meet her. In the end, the Peacock Princess could only leave with a broken heart.
Pei Mianman had tried persuading Zu An to meet the Peacock Princess, but he was too hurt to consider the Peacock Princess, and the last thing he'd wanted to do was to hinder her happiness.

Zu An asked Xie Daoyun, “Are you done settling things on the Fiend races’ side?”
