Chapter 2623: Betrayal
Zu An widened his eyes. That’s right. Somehow, I kept thinking of reuniting with them in my timeline, but that would be extremely difficult in any case. I should be thinking of ways to return to their timeline instead.
Time travel was no easy feat, but it wasn't impossible either. Some dungeons and artifacts were capable of time travel, such as the Nature Jade Plate. That artifact had turned back into stone, but there could be other ways to do it.
The thought of that lifted his morale and dissipated his gloominess, though that immediately evoked exclamations from the two sisters...
The following day, Zu An made his way to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons with Shang Hongyu accompanying him.
Shang Liuyu had been swept away by the atmosphere yesterday and didn’t think much into it, but once the deed was done, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself. She refused to meet Zu An no matter what he said.
“Under her carefree exterior is an innocent heart. Don’t mind it too much. She’ll get over her awkwardness in a few days’ time,” Shang Hongyu replied with a gleeful smile. She was happy that she had succeeded in teasing her little sister yesterday.
Zu An also smiled gently when he thought about Shang Liuyu’s clumsiness yesterday. It felt as if the veil dividing them had finally been ripped apart then, but their progress was so fast that it seemed to have scared her off.
“How do you intend to thank...” Shang Hongyu cried out before she could finish her sentence. Zu An had swept her into his arms to kiss her.
Her body quickly relaxed, and her enchanting eyes glimmered as if dabbed with water. “You bullied me a lot yesterday. Is that not enough?”
Shang Liuyu had been the one stroking the zither yesterday, but as the melody played to its climax, her inexperienced self had failed to dodge in time. In the end, she'd run off out of embarrassment to clean herself up and never returned.
