Luo Zheng flushed crimson by her awkward request as he stammered, "Are… Are you saying that I have to pretend that you are my wife? I… I am not married. It is written on the wooden tablet." Luo Zheng spoke the truth.
"You can say that I am your sister," Gu Xijiu defended.
Luo Zheng seemed reluctant; he explained, "Miss, you should know that every visitor in the Devil Kingdom will be thoroughly investigated before entering. I am an orphan without any siblings. The guards at the city gates know me very well. Moreover, one tablet only ensures one entry. Even as a family, everyone has to show their own tablet except for the children."
