Chapter 2615: Confrontation

Pei Mianman requested to accompany him.

Zu An wanted to turn her down, since the death energy was extremely dangerous to the living, but on second thought, he decided to bring her along. He brought her to the Eye of the Ocean, where they were faced with the bleak abyss. Even Pei Mianman shuddered at the sight.

“Don’t worry. I’m here.” Zu An wrapped his arm around her slender waist before leaping into the abyss.

His words calmed Pei Mianman’s anxious heart.

Indeed, as long as he’s by my side, I wouldn’t fear a mountain of blades or a sea of fire.

Grayish-white energy lingered in their surroundings as they descended the abyss. Zu An wrapped Pei Mianman with a brilliant light that shielded her from the energy. His cultivation was now strong enough to thoroughly protect his companion from harm.

As soon as they entered the Netherworld, a massive army mounted on elephants rushed over to confront them. The men were hideous, but the women were gorgeous.

“Who dares...” As soon as they recognized Zu An, the soldiers’ hostile faces lit up in delight.

The beautiful woman at the army’s forefront leaped off her elephant and landed before Zu An. “Big brother Necropolis, you’re finally here! Hm? Who is she?”

She was the Asura race’s Princess Ni Huang. She had been anticipating Zu An’s return for quite some time now, only for the other party to return with another woman. She instinctively glanced at Pei Mianman’s chest, and her breath caught in her throat for several seconds.

What a pair of lewd boobs! Hmph! She’s no fighter. I bet she’s baggage in battle!

While Princess Ni Huang was sizing up Pei Mianman, the latter did the same too. Princess Ni Huang was truly beautiful, especially when contrasted against the hideous Asura men standing around her. Her copper skin tone made her look vibrant, as if she was radiating energy itself.

“Ah Zu, is it just me, or does she resemble Qinghe...” Pei Mianman discreetly asked Zu An via telepathy.

Their facial features are identical, though compared to the youthful Murong Qinghe, this woman feels more mature. She also resembles Mo Xi a little...

She could tell that the latter fancied Zu An from Princess Ni Huang’s hostile gaze.

Ah Zu is too much! Why is he drawing in bees everywhere? First Chang’e, then the Goddess of Wu Mountain, and now some Princess Ni Huang too?

Zu An stood in a daze. His encounter with the Goddess of Wu Mountain had convinced him about the concept of reincarnation in this world.

Murong Qinghe might be Princess Ni Huang’s future incarnation, and Mo Xi might be Princess Ni Huang’s past incarnation.

He had left Mo Xi in the Frost Palace, hoping that one day, she could grow strong enough to sever Gong Suyin’s contract with the Frost Palace.

If Mo Xi has reincarnated, could it mean that something bad happened at the Frost Palace that resulted in her death? If so, something might have happened to Gong Suyin too.

Princess Ni Huang was initially angry, but her anger dissipated when she noticed Zu An staring at her in a daze. Sweetness tinged her heart.

I knew he liked me more! Ahh, but there’s so many people looking at us. How embarrassing!

There was a cough, and the Asura King descended to their side. “Brother Necropolis, did everything go well?”

I know my little sister is beautiful, but isn’t it too much for you to gawk at her when you already have a gorgeous babe with you? You’re putting me in a tight spot here!

Zu An finally snapped out of his daze. “Ah, it went fine.”

Loud rumbling echoed in the distance. Ox Head and Horse Face had rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

When they saw Zu An, they quickly shrank their gigantic physiques and gave him a tight hug. “My brother, you’re incredible!”

They had already heard about the monsters’ eviction from this world, and they were awed by his prowess.

Zu An smiled in response. “I hope you've been fine.”

“Peeps like us remain the same for centuries. It’s all fine,” Ox Head said with a laugh. He suddenly noticed Pei Mianman and exclaimed in bewilderment, “Hm? Why did the lady with you suddenly change? What happened to the Mermaid Queen you were previously with?”

Horse Face quietly kicked Ox Head.

Can’t you tell that our Necropolis bro is a player? You shouldn’t be talking about his other lovers right now!

Ox Head quickly realized that and scratched his head awkwardly. He struggled to find the words to alleviate the atmosphere.

Zu An held Pei Mianman’s hand and gently said, “She is Pei Mianman, my wife...”

Pei Mianman hadn’t expected him to introduce her as such in public. The word ‘wife’ filled her with indescribable bliss.

She noticed Princess Ni Huang’s face turning pale and her eyes becoming glazed. Sighing softly, she put on a smile before grabbing the latter’s hand, saying, “You must be Princess Ni Huang. He often mentions you. You resemble a little sister of mine a lot.”

“Little sister?” A rush of curiosity dampened Princess Ni Huang’s sorrow. “I heard him mention something like that before. Who is it?”

Pei Mianman patiently told her about Murong Qinghe and Mo Xi, though she did reserve some information too.

To others, it looked as if Pei Mianman accepted her husband’s philandering ways and even magnanimously extended her goodwill to Princess Ni Huang. This made them extremely awed by Zu An.

Not only does he have a lot of lovers, but they're all so caring too.

Zu An proceeded to tell them about what had happened to the Mermaid Queen too. The others were at a loss for words.

Naturally, he didn’t forget about his goal here either. After a quick explanation, he went off to look for Lady Houtu.

Soon, he arrived at the Reincarnation Platform. Ox Head and Horse Face kneeled and kowtowed. “Milady, Brother Necropolis has accomplished his mission and returned.”

A female silhouette soon appeared on the Reincarnation Platform, and a powerful aura rippled outward.

Startled, Pei Mianman looked at Zu An with worried eyes.

Why is there such a powerful expert here?

Zu An patted her hand to calm her down.

“Have you found the six races' power insignias?” The female silhouette nodded at Zu An.

“You could say that.” Zu An suddenly changed his tone. “But there are a few things I’d like to ask you.”

The female silhouette gestured to the crowd. “I need to talk to him in private. You may leave first.”

Ox Head and Horse Face respectfully took their leave.

The Asura King and Princess Ni Huang frowned. “Houtu, we aren’t your subordinates.”

The female silhouette wasn’t angered by their refusal to obey. “Asura King, you should know how dangerous some secrets are. There’s no benefit in knowing too much.”

A thought came to the Asura King’s mind, and he narrowed his eyes. With a harrumph, he grabbed his little sister’s hand and left the place. Before he walked out, he turned to Zu An and said, “Necropolis, just call for us if you need our help. We’ll rush in right away.”

“Thanks!” Zu An was thankful for the sentiment. The Asuras were fierce, but they were loyal.

After the others were gone, the female silhouette finally turned to Zu An and asked, “What do you want to know?”

“Were you the one who sent the Mermaid Queen and the others to that Celestial Court world?” Zu An asked coldly.
