Chapter 2644: A Frog In the Well
Bi Linglong was startled. Did something happen to Ah Zu? Is that why I'm seeing him now that I’m dead?
But the warm embrace and familiar aura snapped her out of her daze. She murmured incredulously, “Ah Zu, is it really you?”
“It’s me. I came late.” Zu An hugged her trembling body with a fearful heart. He had felt unnerved while he was in the capital, which was why he rushed here right away. Had he been a second later, he would have lost her.
“Regent!” The imperial guards were moved.
When they saw the empress preparing to slit her own throat, they'd felt so indignant that they had followed suit, only for their blades to be knocked away. By the time they recovered, the regent was already standing in front of them.

“It's been a while, King Yan. Why are you leaving without greeting me?” After consoling Bi Linglong, Zu An turned to the old man who was planning to slip away.
King Yan’s body stiffened up. He awkwardly turned around and said, “You have become more spirited over the last few years.”
Zu An laughed. “You must be wondering why I didn’t die in the other world.”
King Yan laughed sheepishly. “Regent, you are as humorous as ever.”
Zu An’s expression suddenly darkened. “I’m not in the mood to joke with you.”
He wasn’t planning to waste his breath arguing with King Yan here. Countless soldiers were dying due to the ongoing war below. So, he flew into the air and roared, “STOP!”
